When the legisiature comes to con- | sider the bill which seeks to change the state commission om tuberculosis, from three to one, it deserves to take counsel on the importance of the work in which that commission is engaged, the fact that it is only in its infancy and that instead of s it is mctively interested in and accom- plishing the establishment of organ- {zazions and sanatoria for the preven- ion and cure.of the dread disease. n the desire to bring about economy any such change would meet with in- stant approval but it should not be pttempted if there is to be a sacrifice of* efficiency in administration of the duties of the commission. The state needs the best work it can get in behalf of the sufferers from the white plague and administering to the sick rather than be wasted on unnecessary officials, but | it must also be remembered that the success of the object depends upon eMcient conduct and a commission that is able in every way to keep up with and satisfy the demands. give proper time and thought to the prob- leém and extend the aid to all who are in need of it, is what is required. It 1s. humanity which suffers in this in- stance If it 18 not so served. Noth- ing whatever should be done to de- tract from the efficlency of this im- portant commissiohn. It needs help and encouragement rather than hin- 4rances or hamdicaps. SAD REALIZATION. Turkey has recognized her waning power and fighting ability. It has taken some time to convince the Younsg | Surks that it requires more than rep- utation to win battles, but the ex- pressed willingness of the empire to| submit to mediation, and trust their fate to the powers concerning the sev- ering of the European territory and the adjusiment of the terms of peace indicates that it has taken place. It was Dbut natural that Turkey, the fear- less, should hate to submit to the hu- miliation of a second reverse within the' year, but it would have been to her advantage to have secured a set- tlement at the peace conference which failed. Nothing has indicated this more clearly than her downfall since then The country was in a better position to ask for conmsiderations than it is now and could have received far more with the elimination of the ravages of the last months of war in addition. | The success of the allies has strengthened their position as to their demands and their territorial claims will doubtiess be granted. Theyr will insist as a unit for the war indem ity, their claims for which Turkey | has served to strengthen. Mediation | .is demanded. Tt should be started and as quick as the contestants can agree to it all field operations should cease. Turkey must realize now her mistake of months ago. CHANCE WITHIN THE FOLD. It was an interesting story Col Mecevelt had to fell the progressives @ Albany on the occasion of his visit tiere last week. He observed that ednditions Iike that which allowed two wealthy Chicago men to dispose of twenty million dollars in their wills representing money which they had| five postofice districts, amd aixty || mply being re-| quired to overlook existing institutions, | much of the funds | as can be made available should go to! amassed during their lifetime by em- ploying girls in their stores at very low wages, would be changed unde his party’s management. This prompts the New York Post to declars that “at that game the Socialists can beat him holiow. It is easy to imagine a socialist orator di lating on the shocking instance of a millionaire resident of Ovster Hu_\,i‘ Who inherited all his money, yet who paid his cook and butler and gardener | only the current wages. ‘Conditions | like that, the socialist agitator might | conglude, ‘will be changeq under our leadership. And could Col. Roosevelt say him nay, except by denying the validity of general principles, and ex- posing himselt to the rebuke of So- crates for refusing to ‘follow the a gument " " It might slso be called to his at- tention that conditions in the party might be given cousideration before the solution could be successtully car: ried to the country.

If he can do it he will have accomplished something which predecessors gave lit- tle consideration to. Tt is haral probable that he will attempt such a radical change. but he is evidently | of the inclination that his service to his country can be best displaved as a diplomat rather than as an enter- ner, though in diplomacy the latter plays an important part. ~ MAKING IT A HABIT.

But so steady, up| to now, is the in-pouring of new cit- | zens from parts where the doctrine | of public cleanliness is not taught that | the annual instruction will be needed | for a long time. It is the habit, of course, that we are aiming at.” Every good public accomplishment requires constant attention and push.

De Kol Hubbard Pietertje, a pure | tred Holstein, gave in seven days, {Pounds of milk containing 21.813 | pounds of fat. Her best day she gave 80.1 pounds of milk and 3.35 pounds egual to 27.41 pounds of butter for the seven ‘day: This is the best record for any cow in the state of Connecticut. The state record has been held for several vears by a cow owned by M. C, Knapp of Danbury, Conn., that gave 20.6 pounds of fat in a week. 5 Last Tuesday R. E. Buell, manager i of the Wallace Brothers’ farm at Wal- | lingford, Conn., had two cows finish a seven day test. One of thespacows gave 21.87 pounds of fat and the other cne 21612 pounds. This allowsi the <college to hold the state record for butter-fat by only 0.04 of a pound. Last week there were in the college herd three cows giving over 60 pounds each per day and a fourth gave almost §) pounds. On March 22 the four cows gave enough milk to make 70 pounds for each one. This is almost 35 quarts per cow. Very truly J. M. TRU. Storrs, Conn., April 1, 1813, MAN.
