There will be no need for conscription when the men of the nation realize it is their duty to de- fend the nation and that the best way to defend it is to make preparation for the day when that service is needed. Patriotism in this country is not really a dead thing, as many would believe. It is more alive today than ever.

But now art comes into its own and on a whole- sale basis. The greatest order for picture-taking has been given. Not in this country, 'though. It happened in Poland; but there is a chance the same order, or a larger one, might be given to the photographers here. The German Governor General who, for the nonce, has charge of such things in Poland, has ordered that all the residents of that country who have attained the age of fifteen years shall have their pictures taken. When the officials set to work to find out just how many times the photogra- pher would have to say, “Now, look pleasant,”” they found there are some two million faces that will pose before the camera.

Lover of Trees Makes Plea to Christ- mas Decorators, To the Ecditor of the Herald: Sir:—Last year at this season there were in New Britain in the neighbor- hood of fifty houses decorated about their front entrances with hemlock boughs. These houses had from 25 to 100 boughs apiece, making a . total of several thousand trees so used. Since it takes from ten to fifteen years to grow a single bdugh of the proper size for this purpose the large sacrifice required to ‘do one season’s decorat- ing is apparent. Of course at the end of the winter these trees are relegated to the dump. We have not many hemlock groves about New Britain. The number of people who love to walk out and see them in their native setting, and who admire the hemlock as one of our most graceful trees is a growing num- been painful to see the destruction, wanton in some cases, where the center of large and shapely trees have been cut away. We owe it to our umrn.-n to pre- erve the few remaining specimens we have of this beautiful tree, This sacrifice has been one . of thoughtlessness largely and "we ars glad to note a growing sentiment ! against it S. E. B. New Britain, Dec. 9, 1915. “Morc Foam—Less Beer.” (Waterbury Democrat.) Representative Rainey of has a plan of his own to pay of our national defense programme. He will not impose a federal inheri- tance tax or a larger income tax. He will simply put a tax on beer. ‘“More foam and less beer” is his motto. He has no special prejudice against beer or in favor of foam. He merely sces an opportunity to collect the neces- sary money by the least painful pro- cess. A tax on beer would, of course be passed on to the consumer. But the consumer wouldn't notice it much he argues. Most of our beer is sold by the glass rather than the pint or quart, and the consumer pays little attention to the quantity in the gla Most drinkers wouldn’t even notice 1lincis the cost will doubtless approve enthusiastical- ly of this plan. What German-Amer- icans will think of it is another story. The Press and Celebrities? (Chicago Tribune.) There is something in it; but the newspapers hope they are not exclu- sively to blame for such idiocies as Mr. Ford’s peace ship. It is partly their own fault. Mr. Ford, for in- stance, was hailed as a great manu- facturer. Tt is stupid to say that he is not. Then he was hailed as a great philanthropist because he turned back parts\of the profits to the work- ers. All this the newspapers and the magazines gleefully printed. It is pleasant to know that there are great men in'America. But the newspapers have never told Mr. Ford that he is a sreat interna- tional statesman, capable of stopping the Buropéan war or that he is a great philosopher, capable' of solving the perplexing problems of national- ism and internationalism. He just took those facts for ° granted. A great man in one particular. a great man in all particulars. That is his own idea. He is apparently the great example of spoiled child in America. Prob- 2bly the newspapers did their part in him. But the newspapers are only part of the American sys- tem of publicity. It is the public that does the hero worshipping, myt the newspapers. e ————————— GOUGHE? NIGHT AND DAY How This Little Orphan Boy Was Cured. We want the people of New Britain to know that all letters like the fol- lowing are truthful and genuine: Towanda, Pa. “I took a little or- phan hoy to live with me and last Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was very il and a bad cough set in £o that he coughed night and day. After trylng evervthing, nothing scemed to do him any good, ntil along in February 1 got a bottle of Vinol. After using half the bottle his cough began to improve, and two bottles entircly “cured his bronchitis and he gained in weight so that he doesn’'t look like the same chila.” Harry A. Stephenson, Towanda, Pa. The reason that cough syrups fail in such cas is because they are spoiling the fact that they got a little less liquid for a nickel and a little more foam. And if they did notice it, it wouldn’t hurt them any. The possi- Dbilities for additional revenue in this field may be imagined from the fact that in 1913, the last year for whica complete statistics are available, the American peoble consumed 2,022, | 000,000 gallons of malt liquors, more paliative only, while Vinol removes the cause, being a constitutional rem- edy in which are combined the heal- ing elements of fresh cods’ liver, to- gether with tonic iron and beef pep- tone. Tt strengthens and revitalizes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disgase. The Clark & Brainerd Co., Riker-Hegeman, gists, New Britain, Conn.
