AYLING, Norwich Representatives ALBERT J. BAILEY, JOSEPH H. IIENDMN DUTY OF EVERY VOTER, ; In every section of the state there ta a duty which lles before the voters in the coming election. It is a time wl the democrats are doing their utmost to secure the endorsement from the people of the manner in which they have carried on the national gov- ernment during the present adminis- tration. It is fresh in the minds of sveryone what changes and havoc ghpy.hwo wrought in the economic system: of the country so that instead of tho continuance of the good bus- iness conditions which they found there has followed a period of great ufcertainty, poor business and deplor- afle conditions. !{The mos’. strenuous kind of efforts are being made to attribute all such to the war, but those conditions had begun long before the war broke out or was dreamed of. It is not gcing to be possible to hoodwink the people into the belief that war in Europe has done all this. The war has caused its aggravations, but the great harm was done when the firm business founda- tion of the country was undermined ty“the putting into operation of the democratic policies and theories, Thus it becomes the duty of every voter to carefully consider and uphold the demands and interests of this gec- tion of the country. The best ipter- ests of Connecticut lle not in the en- @orsement of democratic destruction— such deserves to be condemned before ‘worse oconditions prevail—but in the support and encouragement of repub- New WA EM s ltcan principles which have been re-| sponsible for this‘ country’s greatest achievements and such are obtainable onty through the election of republican candidates. | TIME TO ACT ON THE FACTS. It seems to be a question whether theory or a common sense view of the sttuation based upon the existing facts is going to prevail in the regulation of the railroads. The theoretical opera- tion of a railroad system is likely to differ very materfally. from what is actually possible, just the same as this 1s true in other lines of business. From the cross examination of Pres- tdent Willard of the-Baltimore & Ohio by Attorney Brandeis it would appear his reasoning that the roads should look after extensions, the ar- rangements for the necessary finances apd meet the demands of the coma mission without giving any attention as ‘to whether they were being oper- ated as a successful business proposi- tion, to the credit of the system or its future. The fact is as the New York Times says that “the railway situation as a whole is before the commission. They mfust stand and fall together. Mr. Brandeis is so wrapped in his con- ceit of an ideal railway that he has lost sight of the conditions in a work- aday world. Heretofore he has car- ried the commission into the clouds with him. It is time at least for the tommission to comse down to earth and busifiess.” It is certainly mo part of the com- mission’s duty 2o place their faith in f@reams. It needs and should have the sold, ‘hard facts and upon those its fecision should be based, WARSHIP LIFE PRESERVERS. From the manner in which the sub- marine is displaying its terrors and picking off vessels and the most of their crews with little or no warning, it }s timely action which has been 'aken by the British admiralty for the \ffording of greater protection to the men in the navy, when it requires that swimming collars must be -carried at ul times when awake, and left inflated tlose at hand while asleep. Several thousand lives have been viped out by the inability of the men o gustain themselves in the cold water intil they could be picked up, while he order forbidding naval vessels rom going to the relief of a stricken varship because of the chance of in- riting a similar fate placed even great- i dependence upon themselves. With rach ship looking out for itself the )rotection which will be afforded by » wimming collar in the hands of each nember of the crew is an appreciable me. Strange as it may seem there iré always many in a warship's crew vho cannot swim. There are also con- litions which make it almost impos- sible for those who can swim to keep. afioat for any great length of time, but with the aid-of the buoyant de- vice great help will be given to the saving of life, even though wear is on in' earnest and appalling losses can be expected to accompany it The swimming collar ltke the instal- lation of floats and small boats which can be quickly floated is a provision which the very nature of the service that the men are called upon to ren- dér and the danger which they must encounter call for. CHANGING TO AMERICAN. REGIS- TRY. The opening of American’ registry to, foreign ships under more attrac- tive terms than formerly existed was dane for the benefit of- American-com- merce. In view of the existing war and the opportunity which was offered Dy this act to escape from ‘the penalty which would be exacted from vessels of the belligerent natious complications were anticipated and have followed. The trouble over the: Robert- Doliar changing its flag, which resulted :in its resumption of British colors. has noiv been. followed by the seizure. of the tank steamer Brindflla, by s Brit. ish ship. Thus is a test case,prom- ised at an’ early date. Jusgt what it will avail if it is shown that the transfer was a bona fide one is uncertain for while such may be the facts it is also likely that but for the transfer the tanker would not have been open for business, but would have been tied up In some port until it could engage in traffic without becom- ing subject to capture, It is lkely to be the British claim that such a trans- action is an act of dodging for the transfer makes the investment in the vessel active,. which would not have been possible without risk of selzure otherwise. The questions involved give prom- ise of an interesting contention before the Halifax prize court. It is well that there should be some determina- tion of the facts as early as possible for the guidance of other transfers affecting vessels of nations engaged in the war as well as American com- merce. RUSSIAN PROHIBITION. For others than the temperance workers there is much {nterest in the position which has been taken by the czar of Russia relative to prohibition. .| His declaration in behalf of permanent prohibjtion marks an unexpected ad- vance in the cguse despife the pre- vious attention which the world had been giving to the progress of the movement there. First 'prohibition was declared until the first of Octo- ber. Subsequently it was extended un- til the .end of the war and now it is announced to be a permanent thine. In differing from meost coun- tries the sale of liquor is a.govern- ment monopoly. It is stated that the revenue derived from the sale of vodka amounts to the sizeable sum of $500,- 000,000. The control thereforg of its sale and the determinatiod as to whether Mquor shall be sold or mnot rests with the government. Recog- nizing that in time of war one of the demands is national sobriety, one of the early acts was.the order of prohibition and the cutting off of this source of big revenue. It was done for the betterment of the pecple and the country. That the operation of the order has brought about the desired results is indicated by the latest an- nouncement from the czar presumably upon the gromnd that if it is a good thing during war it should be equally s0 during peace, but Russia hasn't always manifested so much concern for its people. However, Russia has made a num- ber of important promises since war was declared and the world is going to give it close attention as it puts them into operation. Russla has a chance to do some teaching. EDITORIAL NOTES. Some of the worst impertinence from the flies comes at the end of the season. Probably Burope will be fust as pleased this year that it has no day of thanksgiving. . The outcome of the Mexican peace conference will be in doubt until ad- Journment is taken, Even the democrats are not able to start much of a jollification over the reduction in the cost of living. Secretary Bryan seems to have caught the popular sentiment. He de- clares he is glad he never was elected. The Germans may have battered down the Antwerp fortifications but they haven't knocked the fight out of the Belgians, There couldn’t be a finer fall for the ultimate consumers to enter upon the task of eating a barrel of apples to help out the producer. Army and navy officlals are having more trouble over that Army-Navy football game than as if it was a campaign against Mexico. The man on the corner says: Some men are born politiclans, some have politics thrust upon them and others acquire a campaign handshake. If as declared Czar Nicholas has sald that Russia will never manufacture or sell alcoholic liquors again, he is the logical leader of the prohibition party in Europe. ‘When Bank Commissioner Lippitt bn retiring from that position refers to the “uncertainties of politics” he cites the reason which keeps many good men out of public office. Bl The country is antiously walting for Representative Underwood’s rep'y to the president. Surely there should be some expression in behalf of what the chief executive has done. In many of the states members of the progressives are seelng the op- portunity to make amends for the harm which they did two years ago and they are doing it by returning to :!;z Tepublican party. It is a justified ‘When Roumania holds up the Ger- man munitions of war bound for Tur- key there can De little doubt what the feeling of that coumtry is It doesn’t intend to hand Turkey any- thing which may later be used to strike back with, = o War while it lasts may serve the Same purpose as protection, but that means an uncertain duration and what the country needs is certainty for the reestablishment of confidence and such is to be obtained only by supporting republican principles and candidates. - NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 191« THE YOUNG DOCTOR ‘Now, son, I want you to get rid of| these foolish notions of yours. I sent you to college to learn farming and not to get fool notions about women. Marry, if you want to, but marry a ‘woman who will make a home for you and not one of these high educated.” “But father, times have changed; the professions are open to all women, and the women are demanding to be edu- cated whether or not they Intend to at home.” “You @on’t know women, Sam. I reckon you don’t remember your moth- er well enough to appreciate & good woman - when you see one.” The son’s fuce flushed as he saw shadow cross the face of his father with the mention of his mother. No, he had net forgotten his mother and ‘worshipped her memory as only a son could; but he realized that he lived in a different age than his parents and that different times demanded other standards than The recollections of to the heert of the son, and no doubt he, too, would have taken just such a woman for his wife if it had not been er dou it cha.nge mm of matrimony. Sam Luscomb had been shy about telling his father of the love that had come into his life while at college, and it was-o his college reunion, a year after his graduation, that he imparted his secret to his parent. The father was scorn- ful. A woman doctor! Bah! He felt she could not be a real woman, to study such a profession; and then, ‘when he learned that she practiced her profession, the narrow-minded country farmer was gurther prejudiced in his opinion of her. The elder Luscomb disliked the girl from the first, but when he saw her his prejudice became stronger ~than ever. At the reunion all the graduates joined in a parade, the farming district, the medical, the legal, and last but not least the suffrage division. Leading this last was a tall, regal woman, bearing a huge banner, which silently cailel out for equal suffrage. Sam had told his father that the leader of this division was the girl of his heart, and the father hastily scanned the pretty face to see what kind of a girl his son had assoclated with during his college days. The girl was pretty, this the man could not deny, She was a modern woman, dressed in.the. styles of her time, but his ideas went back to the memory of his wife in wide skirts and full sleeves. And the picture of his wife hovering about the kitchen came to him, and he compared her to this young woman doctor, parading the streets, with a huge suffrage banner held high that all passersby mizht see its flaming colors. With his compari- =on with the olden times, his scorn of the modern woman and her ways be- came complete. Myra Nadeau shook hands with the man who only a few minutes before had scrutinized her, and felt the chill of his manner in greeting her. She had expected that Sam would have told his father about her and looked for a more cordial reception. Sam ‘wanted her to go with him to announce their matrimonial intentions, but this dm girl refused to do, and she exacted a promise from him that he would not tell his father of their intentions until he had become reconciled to her. “T'll find a way to win him over; but 1 can't marry you till we have his ap- And in this decision she remained firm, declaring to herseif that it would have to be the elder Luscomb that would make the future overtures. But later she did reluctantly consent to make a tws weeks’ trip to Sam’s native town, with the proviso that Sam would not tell his father of her visit. ‘The summer season had been a hard one, with the Luscombs working early and late to get in their crops and su- perintend things about their big farm. Towards the latter part of the season the elder man seemed to lose interest in his work, and suddenly the sgreat break .in strength came. He was a very sick man. The country doctor pronounced it an acute case of ap- pendicitis and ordered an immediate operation. The city was 20 miles away and every moment was precious. De- lay meant danger to.the sick man. In his first anxiety, Sam had sent for and when she arrived she quick- 1y _took in the facts, demanding:— “Can’t you operate He won't live to reach the city. “T'd rather not; it's a hard case.” “Well, I suppose you could at least assist in an aperation?” she questioned. “Oh, I know what to do all right,” | wondering what this young woman meant by her gquestioning. “Then prepare for an operation at once.” Her voice was authoritative. Quickly the girl changed her dress for a long white gown, and her nimble fingers laid out the necessary articles for modern surgery. “What the—" “Get_ready to assist when I need you,” she ordered the old practioner. The bewildered man watched her prepare her patient for the operation. and as one in a daze he handed her things as she asked for them. Not onece did her skilful fingers falter in their task, and when it was all over she dressed in her street clothes and went down to Sam, who had been ner- vously pacing the floor in his anxiety. “It is all right now, Sam; he will get through,” she announced. And you helped Doctor Lane?” he sald proudly. This the girl did not deny, taking to herself no credit for the great work she had just performed. And when the sick man came out from the an- esthetic he met the eyes of the country doctor. “You have saved my life,” he sald feebly. “Me?” Oh, no; if it hadn't been for that girl, you might not be here now.” A GUARANTEED RELIEF FOR ASTHMA “I want every Asthma sufferer in Norwich to try my treatment entirely at my risk,” Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann announces. “Go to Pitcher & Service, 253 Central Avenue, and get a 50-cent package of my Asthmador and should it fall to give instant relief, these drug- gists will cheerfully refund your money without any question whatever” The Doctor says further, “No matter how violent the attack, how obstinate the | case or what else has failed, my Asth- mador or Asthmador Cigarettes will give instant relief, usually in 10 sec- onds but always within 15 minutes. Hundreds of unsolicited testimonials abundantly prove what my remedy has jone, and I know it will do the same lor others. I am so positively certain that it will produce instant relief and will be found the best remedy ever used that I have no fears of authoriz- ng these druggists to give this guar- antee or of their being called upon for the refunding of money.” No risk ‘whatever is run in buying this remedy under this positive guarantee. Persons living elsewhere will be sup- plied under the same guarantee by their local druggist or direct by Dr. R. Schiffmann, St. Paul, Minn. when they were to attend |t “What girl?” almost sitting up in his amazement. “Don’t know who she is; but sakes alive! I never saw anything like her modern way of doing things!™ “Where is she? Tell her to come here. Quickly his mind worked backward, and he thought of Myra and wondered if it could be she that had saved his e, Now that her great work was over, the girl trembled when she approached the side of the sick man. He grasped her_hand. “You did it, and for me, When B hated you so!* “T @id it for you and for Sam,” she answered gently. 4Tell Sam that I shall never hate ‘women d rs again; you go tell him.* “All rigl] t. TN tell him,” she called back softly, as the man dropped into a quleting sleep.—Boston Record. ] OTHER VIEW POCINTS The business of war is to kill” Meth- ods do not count. It is the rage of barbarism, and the submarine and the airship are fitting exponents of the savage and cowardly features of mu- ual assassination.—Bristol Press. In spite of his abllity to discover that the country had prospered as the re- sult of the workings of the Underwood tariff, even President Wilson could find nothing to say in defense of the record of the Democratic Congress for ex- travagance in expenditures.—Bridge- port Standard. And yet October is the month par excellence of the pedestrian, It is the month of invigorating winds and firm footing; the month of the year's last call to the open before the snow cur- tain is dropped. Some men, carrying guns, and pretending to kill things, go_forth in answer to October’s call. Others go forth without guns, and are contented to observe the beauty of the days without marrying them.

Ninety-one years ago today the potato-bug was given its first pub- lieity in the United States. It was then that Thomas Say described to the members of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia the new bug which he had discov- ered on the Upper Missouri while accompanying as its zoologist the United States Government explor- ing expedition to the Rocky Moun- tains. He named it the “decemlin- eata.” It was the first known de- scription in American records, though it was common in unset- tled Missouri and Arkansas where it lived on the sand-burr, its or- iginal food plant. Neijther the zool- ogist nor his auditors suspected the fearful rapacity of the insecl. Forty years passed before the first pub- lished ennouncement in the United States appeared of the potato-bug as a destructive agent. A letter from a farmer, J.. Egerton of Grave ity, JIowa, appeared in the “Prairie Farmer,” August, 1861, stating: “They made their appearance up- on the vines (potato) as they were up, devouring as fast as they grew,” ‘The announcement fell like a bomb among the farmers. Nine years later, in 1870, the pest, then com- monly known as the Colorado po- tato-beetle, had eaten its way to the Atlantic coast. Its westward march of devastation led up to the Rocky Mountains, which seemed to act as a barrier, as it had to other pests, for further progress. -IIA S® YINOS Juj B PapuXS PBY 3| and was gradually under- mining_the whole potato industry in the United States, and NOW Today the plant and animal pests in the United States are costing. including the money expended in the national crusade of extermina- tion and the value of crops de- stroyed by pests, nearly $1,000,000,- 000 annually. They are a serious economiv problem and affect every individual in the nation. Their numbers and names are legion—a zoologist has declared that thereare 10,000,000 specles in the insect ‘world, half of which are destructive to plants and animals. The cinch- ‘bug ravages cereals causing a loss of about $100,000,000 a year. The Hessian Fly, named after the Hes- slan soldiers who brought them to this country while fighting in the American Revolution, has been re- ported as eating $50,000,000 worth of stored wheat. | The ordinary grass- hopper has taken more than $80,- 000,000 out of the American agricul- tural till, while the Jan Jose scale has destroyed trees worth many millions. The boll-weevil, the foe of cotton, has an annual “board- bill” of at least $40,000,000. The ‘white pine blister, the Mediter- ranean fruit fly, the gypsy ana brown-tail moths, and the potato wart have become _such serious menaces that the TUnited States Government has barred plant products from abroad that are like- ly to carry such pests from i tation into this country. weapons in use to repel the insect invaders are chemicals, birds, and such insects as feed upon their more predatory relatives. It is a great, unceasing war in which the pests seem to be stubbornly holding their own. Elastic Stockings For VARICOSE VEINS, WEAK KNEES and ANKLES. Low Prices. For FALLEN ARCHES.
