Holcomb, In which he accepts the nomination governor of the state, without being impressed by the type of man who has heen placed before the electorate of Connecticut by the republican con- ‘vention. Judge Holcomb in a concise and dignified manner makes it clear that he stands ready‘ to render whatever service to the state he is called upon to do, but only with the distinct un- derstanding that it cannot interfere with his obligated and non-politfical duty as a judge in the same Ccom~ monwealth, as long as that appoint- ment lasts. It is duty first which prompts this dttitude and it is this characteristic of the man which stands out throughout his entire career. It is the hest of evidence as to the office seeking the man, and a man into whose keeping the voters of Con- necticut can well afford t6 place the responsibilities attached to the chief executive of the state. It means that Judge Holcomb has not sought the nomination and is not seeking electi for his personal satisfaction, but hav- ing come to him through a recogmition of his qualifications he stands ready, the voters of Connecticut so deciding, price 12¢ a weeks S0c & elgn countries, we are far in the lead. The loss by fires is one of the great yearly wastes of the nation. Much valuable service is being rendered by the efforts in behalf of preventlon, but there still remains plenty to do in bringing the people to a full realiza- tion of its importance. It ‘deserves all the encouragement that it can se- cure and it is going to be a long time before there can be any relaxa- tlon in.the agitation. Rather are the past year's figures sufficient cause for giving the effort a new impetus. DEATHS FROM TOADSTOOLS. Be sure you are right before going ahead is advice of great importance which most people have received at some time or other. It applies to a great many things, so much so that it bas a protective value in being re- membered for daily use. By its con- sistent practice much trouble and many lives can be saved, as the city of Baltimore has reason to believe from the number of deaths which have occurred there from the eating f poisonous toadstools for mushrooms. Such mistakes are by no means un- common, They resuit from over-confi- judges of eatable fungl without hav- ing the proper knowledge to distin- guish the good from the bad, and thereby take risks and impose them upon others in a reckless manner. That mushrooms provide a delight- ful dish cannot be disputed, but when they are gathered, cooked and served, without the absolute assurance that they do not mean sickness or death, it is far better to forego such pleas- ure. Unless one is an expert upon such an important question and is doubly sure of being right, self denial, which means self preservation, should be easy. Danger lurks in enough se- cluded places without being invited in such a manner. The lesson of the poisonous toadstools is as old as the hills, but it seems necessary for it to bob up about so often for educational purposes, sacrifice of those who are willing to take the chance. It is an unneces- sary waste of life. LEAVING MEXICO. Getting out of Mexico isn’t as easy as it might seem. It isn't a case of simply pulling up stakes, rolling tents mq equipment and sailing for home. There are eome other important things to be considered and as a result our troops are mnot lkely to be out of Vera Cruz as early as expected. During our control of the port, the collection of the customs and the ad- ministration of the municipality af- fairs have been conducted as if the ‘even though it calls for the|ply Mexicans were in control except that the balance above expenses has been retained in trust. There has not been deductea the the good gized ex- pense to which this country has been, with the result that about a million awaits transfer to the present govern- ment. - Such could be easily accom- plished| but for tie fear which has been ressed by the people of Vera Cruz™ the stewardship of the American forces will not be accepted and that Carranza will proceed to reassess taxes and revenue dutles, and that the Vera Cruz residents who have pald as if there had been no change in its control will be required to pay. again. g Such doesn’t indicate a tremendous amount of confidench in the Carranza by the people in that city, and it therefore remains for this country to reach an understanding with Car- ranza, that no disordér may resuit from the part which it was considered necessary to take. Carranza should be thankful that a million has been protected for the republic but from the feeling in Vera Cruz it is going to take more than a few weeks to live down past Mexican business meth- ods, SRR DR R EDITORIAL NOTES. to assume the office and administer it as the high office demands in the interest of all the people of Connecti- cut. That he has no inclination to shirk the responsibilities with. which he is invested now, for his own bene- fit later, indicates the stamp of Mar- cus H, Holcomb, and it cannot fail to be recognized. Even the Mexicans observed neu- tral zones for the protection of non- combatants and city buildings, e e Germany officially declares she is not “tired of the war.” Be that as it may there is a large number who are. The fact that Austria is making an investigation of the Ddankruptcy laws only stiffens the financial lesson of ‘war. UNCLE SAM AND WIRELESS. However it might appear, maintain- ing neutrality 1s not the easiest task of a government. New questions are continually arising and just now it is the disposition of the Marconi wire- less station at Siasconset to accept business for the purpose of aiding the belligerents which may result in gov- ernment possession of that important wireless post. Under the position taken by the gov- ernment, wireless telegraphy Mifter- ing from other lines of business, in that it can be made to serve the in- terests of any or all the countries at war without interference if permitted to operate unrest ted at this time, censorship of measages is required If we are to maintain an impartial position.

I had known him since my childhood: he.was an old friend of my family, and every time he came to the house he never forgot to bring me a lot of sweetmeats. Then, later on, e made me a present of a gun. I had, therefore, an affectionate respect for him, and 80, when I was no long- er a beardless boy, I became his in- timate friend. “He was a charming man, but very fond of play, and it was a quarrel over that led to his famous &wel, in ‘which he killed his adversary; at the same time he received such a severe wound in his wrist that the doctor was seon afterward obliged to amputate his right hand. By a strange whim the major would not be separated from his hand, which was one of remarkable beauty. So he had it saturated with aromatics and injected with strong lsams, d preserved it in a crystal globe in hls <chamber. “T can still see this drted hand of the old soldier; I still see those fin- gers, febrile In their immobility, re- posing upon the red and green vel- vet cushion, with its golden tassels. The flesh—if that fantastically strange material can be called such, so much it looked like ice under the brownish parchment that had once been skin— made me shudder. Upon the forefinger Wwas an enormous gold ring with a ar®e ruby; the nails, cut squarely in military fashion, had grown but lit- tle since the fatal amputation. And ‘wide, thick and nervous, the hand had remained there for vears, “The hand, I say, Had lain there for years when the major took to his bed at the beginning of the illness that was to carry him off, according to the prediction of our lllustrious master, “l was called to Muller's house as an intimate friend, and was to watch over him every secend night. “I pass over the major's last days, which were one long agony. - The ex- traordinary of the dying man made him sufter all imaginable pangs; fever, shudderings, cramps, delirium. “These alarming symptoms sudden- ly ceased, and it was thought that the sick man_had entered into a coma- tose state but this was a mistake. A rapid reaction began and an as- tonishing improvement followed. Ev- ery one concluded that it was the beginning of a convalescence. Now, one evening as I bad just begun my watch, Muller grew drowsy, and pres- efluy fell Into a profound and healthy sleep. “I was reading, and little by little began to feel drowsy. However, in order not to lose myself entirely, I got up and went over to the bed. The major's breathing was ngnlar and his -t like Hans, with his LETTERS TO Medical Inspection of School Children. Mr. Editor:—October 6, 1918, after a full and free discussion of the sub- ject, the voters of Norwich in town meeling assembled decided by an overwhelming mmajority that our schools could be properly conducted, the physical condition of our children kept at a high standard, and their educational efficiency well maintained without the assistance of the politi- eal doctor (proffered gratis) or a corps of trained nurses. ‘Whether the citizens erred in'reach- ing this conclusion can easily be Judged if we pursue the monthly re- ports of the State Board of Health is- sued during the past year. Iere we will diseover that at no time and in no instance during that period has Norwich ever suffered when compared with 'other communities in the state but on several oceasions has borne off the honors by exhibiting the low- est death rate of any town in the state, notwithstanding a large per- centage of the state’s insane and tub- erculous patients are domained with- in our borders. In addition to the above the taxpayer can oo tulate himself that the two thousand dollars asked for by the political doctors still rel s in the town treasury. It sgem4 however judging from the Au- Zust Feport of the State Board of Health that the idea of installing a system of medical mspection is still uppermost in the minds of the politi- cal doctors and that they aim to apply it in not only the largest towns and cities but in the rural communities as well, for the subject has been and is being discussed Jin the egricultural papers as well as the daily and week- ly press throughout the country. In view of these facts it behooves the citizen to keep close watch on the po- litical doctors already In power and especially to closely scan measures in- troduced Into the next general assem- bly, eise we ‘wake from our leth- argy some flne morning to find that they have established government ownership of our children along with government ownership of railroads and other public utilities. J. B. 8. King, M. D, discussing this question in a medical magazine has this to say concerning medical inspection of school children. “If history teaches any lesson, it teaches the ineffectiveness of doing for people things which they ought to go for themselves. In order to insure pro- gress in civilization a government must presume its citizens to be in- telligent. Medical inspection of school children is based on the presumption that the American people are not in- telligent enough to care for their own children and this presumption put in- to force will end by making them so. The state of parenthood predicates the performance of certain duties and the posession of certain rigits. It is the duty of parents to clothe, feed. ed- ucate and care fos the health of their ckildren. It is their right to say how they shall be clothed, fed, educated and cared for in sickness. I find fault with the medical examination of school children because it takes the duties and rights that are natural to the parents and transfers them to the state where they 4o not belong. His- tory, experience, and common sense all demonstrate that, no mnation, no peo- ple, no group of men, ever were help- ed or their advancement wamoted by’ THE MAJOR’S HAND. sleep as calm as that of a child. I returned to my place and my eyes turped by chance toward the corner where the hand reposed upon a table. The chamber was lighted only by a hanging night lamp. The hand seem- ed_to me to move. “‘Curious effect of the desire to sleep, I said to myself, and smiling I went up to the table, “The hand still moved, or appeared to me to move, the fingers rose and fell, one by ome or all together, in a aifferent and intelligent way, as though unbending themselves after their long numbness. “This time I was so surprised that I stood as if nailed to the floor, The hand continued to move more and more, as though gathering its strength. No longer able to control myself, I raised the crystal globe that covered this strange relic, and thus exposed the hand to the air. Immediately it turned round upom its stump, which ‘was covered with a lace wrist band, and its other fingers, except the in- dex, signified to me to return to my seat.. The movement of therhand was as imperious as that of a military chief designating a point to be cap- tured without delay and without ex- planation. “Without believing in it the least in the world, In spite of my eves, I was astounded and, I may as well avow it, terrified; so much so that I staggered back to my chair and sank .down, my eyes, so to speak. riveted upon the frightful object, 'which now moved its fingers as though in the act of magnetizing someone. “Suddenly the hand rose upon its middle finger and balanced backward and forward, as though gathering it- self for a start:; then it jumped down as noiselessly as a cat. Once upon the carpet it bounded lightly along untfl it reached the table beside the bed; with a spring it mounted on top and, seeking among the bottles, un- corked one, and poured from it a few drops into the cup of herb tea. Then, creeping up to the sleeper. it pinched him in such a way that he woke up, and immediately It jumped down to the floor, where I no longer followed it with my eyes, my attention being centered upon the sick man. The ma- jor said, ‘I am thirsty,’ and while 1 ‘was unable to rise from my chair, where I was retained by some diaboli- cal force, he seized the cup of herb tea and drank it “At this instant I felt released from my imprisonment, so to speak, and rushed to the bedside, but it was too late. The major was dead. I looked at the bottle from which the hand had poured the liguid, and found that it contained a deadly poison, destined for a preparation to be used externally, and which had beed left among the other bottles, “I was overwhelmed, as you may well suppose, and it was some minutes before I recovered my senses. As soan as I could I notified the major’s friends but before leaving the room I instinc- tively threw a glance at the 'table where the hand usually lay. It was there under the glass, as it had been for years and years. “Death was ascribed to normal causes. The funeral took place, and a few days passed by. I was obliged to go more than once to Muller's house for various reasons. I never failed to observe the hand, which remained in the chamber, unoccupied since the major's death, and I noticed with as- tonishment a remarkable deliquescence in the tissues and muscles that had for years resisted decay. The bones alone remained sound and showed more and more. Then came the symp- toms of decomposition. “Geuntleman,” Hans concluded, “I think my story supports my thesis— the affirmation of a solidarity exist- ing, even after violent separation. be- tween the members of a body and the body itself.”—Argonaut.

Gulick, connected with the Russell Sage “a i‘n.ltion of the re- eults of medical examination of all cities reporting in the United States, makes it clear that the hopes of those who have been defending medical in- spection have not vet been realized to any great extent. Children have not been promoted with greater fre- quency and steadiness, which earlier advocates of medical inspection be- lieved would occur. Medical inspection inevitiably tends toward compulsion. To prove this I have only to quote the words of those interested in the work. Dr. J. B.
