Though /it has done much Connecticut still has Wlenty to do in this direction. | Wnile 1t had been considered that benefit of proper attention was extended to all but about three of the mildly insane patients _the state, who were being taken fcare of in aimshouses, the investiga- tion which has been condueted by the Connecticut Society for Mental Hy- glene discloses that the number is in fact nearer six hundred. This uncov- ering of the real sitvation must spur #n the state to the assumption of its £ull responsibility. Patients may be iven protection in the town institu- but it is evident that they are ®ot recelving the proper treatment which is conducive to the improve- mgnt of their condition. The fact is 4hat the insane who are being com- mifted to almshouses are heing re- auired to spend therein the time when they would be receiving the most ben- efit from the proper medical treat- ment, JInsanity conditions are not going to jmprove by inattention, They show the effects of it too much already and fl_fl futare of the state and country demands.that not only the insane, but the feeble-minded, in fact all mental defectives, should receive full justice from the state. * MILITIA ORGANIZATIONS. Brigedier General A. L. Mills, chief of 'the division of militia affairs, makes It guite evident in his annual report that while much dependence may be placed upon the citizen army the Befual condition thereof is hardly in mecordance with the standard de- manded, Concerning this citizenry trained «nd accustomed to arms upon which the president declares we must fepend in time of mational peril, Gen- eral Mills eays in his report, “In no time is the prescribed minimum peace ptrength of all organizations of the or- ganized militia maintained and in many instances tho deficlency has ‘reached such a figure as to leave the corresponding orgas tions such in name only—organizations of no value £3 a military asset to the federal gov- ernment.” This happily does not apply to the uwational guard in every state for there #ro such organizatioffs which are a vajuable nationa! reserve force both @s? to mumbers and efficiency. Other »tates, where perhaps no more than @e minimum peace strength - prevails, end that maintained with dificulty, @8 proud of the efiiciency which the militia. shows, but even then the rela- tively poor showing which such cit- lzen soldiers, taken as a body, make wiien it comes to tnc use of the rifle upén which this country must rely. Rfforts have been made in the past fow years to improve the national pultrd and they have been attended much success where the states have cooperated therewith, but it is apparent from General Mills' report that there ds still plenty of oppor- unity for bettering this military as. December 5... bR R ) Y TEST AGAIN. 1t having been held up in the senate at the last session of congress it is to he_expected, as indicated, that the ef- rt to put through the immigration ‘with the famous literacy test will yesumed in the present session. It ly Tecognized that there is of carefully scrutinizing the of allens coming into the coun- told much about the sentiment against the United States alleged to exist in Japan, and it has also been reliably informed that the relations are of the best. In the latest of statements by Dr. Scudder of Honolulu before the chamber of commerce at New Haven he supports both. contentions by de- claring that while there is among the masses this feeling towards America, it is not so among the educated classes Who scoff at the idea of trouble. Whatever has stimulated the dis- trust toward this country in Japan, in his opinion it has come in a large degree from the copying of the ut- terances of our vellow journals. The basis for such has probably been the anti-Japanese legislation, which has s0 strongly brought out the conflict between state laws anl treaty rights. This is of course a matter which might concern any foreign power and it is worthy of more than passing no- tice when ex-President Taft declares that the sole risk of this country be- ing drawn into a war with another nation lies “in the wanton, reckless, wicked willingness on the part of a narrow section of the country'to grat- ify racial prejudice gnd class hatred by flagrant breach of treaty rights in the form of state laws.” At the .present time Great Britain and Italy are protesting against the putting into operation of the anti- alien laws of Arizona and it is only another bit of evidence which calls for the lessening of the maddening conflict of state laws and treaties. * INCREASE I8 NEEDED, If there is good cause for the be- lief that the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission now being written will grant the petition of the eastern railroads for a five per cent. increase in freight rates, it is time.| ‘Though the question has been before the commission on two occasions for the past two years, the decision at this times gives evidence to the fact that the roads have proved their con- tentlon. ‘The need of such proof is what has Dbeen realized throughout the effort and while it was generally considered that they were deserving of the ad- does not remove little t tine on a ¢ is_spill ‘? the wiped up at once. soiled, try cleansing it in- the fol- lowing manner: Have a basin of warm water, a cake of pure white soap and a brush with medium stiff bristles, Spread the yoke carefully on a flat surface, lacing a Turkish towel, fold- ed several times, beneath it, to absord the superfluous moisture. Apply the soap and water to the yoke, scrubbing it_carefully. 5 The most difficult of all stains fo take 't?mmgflewwh* ith , howevyer. the stain can removed from the most delicate sills or woolen fabrics. Rub the mark gent- ly with a little pure glycerin, then rinse it in lukewarm water, ley a cloth over the damp part on the wrong side and press with a cool iron until dry. Do not wet more of the material than is absolutely necessary. CRACKS IN IRON. 1If there is an ugly crack that shows on the kitchen range it can be filled up with a cement made by beating an egs, to which add sifted ashes, ‘Werk the paste smooth and then press it into 'the crack. Smooth off even with the iron surface. This paste will harden almost like iron and will take a polish that will render the crack un- noticeable. USE COLD PASTE. To clean mattresses use a paste of cold water and starch. After the mat- tresses have been thoroushly beaten and freed from dust spread this paste freshly made on all spots and se to the sun for several hours. en rub off the starch. A second applica- tion of this paste should be tried if the first is not entirely satisfactory. LIGHT FLOORS. _Bare floors of hardwood or simply stained, with light wash rugs, are now as popular for winter homes as for summer cottages. Very light floors unstained and light woodwork do won- ders toward brightening a dark bed- room. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. For croup beat the white of afi egg to a stiff froth, (hen sweeten a little and add a little pulverized alum. Give a teaspoonful every ten or fifteen min- utes until relief comes. When the hands are parched, dry| and cracked fro mthe incessant use vance when the petition was denied last year, the conditions have con- tinued to grow worse despite the en- deavors to put into operation the many suggested methods of curtailing ex- penditures and eliminating waste, Not only thereby will the railroad system be given the sort of encour- agement which they need, but it is bound to reflect good results in gen-| eral conditions throughout the coun- try. The increasing of the revenue of the roads by approximately fifty mil- lion dollars a year will be shared in by business in general, and outside of the war it promises to be the great- est relief to business depression that has been received. That the course of greater economy which was previously urged was devoid of results cannot be clalmed. It has unquestionably been a valuable suggestion and will con- tinue to benefit the roads, but the working out of the idea brought far less results than the commission ex- pected. EDITORIAL NOTES. Putting the Dresden in a corner is like adding a new piece of china to the cabinet. 1t is taking considerable of a chance not to casually let slip one or two Christmas wants. It: is about time Davey Jones was advertising attractive bargains in sec- ond hand battleships. It now looks as if the “nervous and excited” crowd is going to become as famous as the ‘Ananias club. After one trial it is quite evident that those new Franklin street walks are going to be a joy forever. It can be safely surmised that the most needed article in a soldier's list of wants is not a necktie, New Hampshire has saved a half million dollars' warth of forest prop- erty from fires. Tt pays to prevent. The worst of the situation between this country and Mexice is that neither is preparing to move right away, It has caused much surprisé to some people that an Honest view of the president’s message is not an act ot disleyalty. The man on the corner says: After a fellow is broke be begims to have a few serious thoughts on the sub- ject of economy. The placing of the ban on the tight skirts is probably only ome of the va- garies of Fashion, but it sounds very much like American common sense, Whether it is Bliss or Funston on the Arizona border, the Mexicans might as well make up thelr mind that putting a few over will be serious fun hereafter. It, as ®elleved, the interstate com- merce commission is about ready to grant the increased freight rate to the railroads. it is well. The delay has been suffictent. It isn't everyone who started last August to get their Christmas gifts together Dbut those individuals are getting the most enfoyment out of the present seasom. ‘When it is declared that Russia ‘could replace loss- es of .%mmm Ab-g:":ntm ais -~ of soap and clean a little vinegar rubbed on will ds all the ill .ef- fects of the lye, leaving the skin soft and white.

This condition calls em- phatically for out of door exercise. If yon are house-bound by some unusual condition of the weather, open the windows and do pbysicil exercises for half an hour twice a day. Cut out sugar and much starch in yobr diet, take hot water or weak tea in place of coffee, and on arising drink the juice of half a lemon in a ¢up of hot. Water. The constipation must he overcome, but if possible by diet and exercise’ rather than by medicine, A trained nurse says one should eat fruit every day.

They also act as intestinal brooms. Sitting in a chair or reclining on a lounge is not the most restful position, though it does ease certain portions of the anatomy. But why leave oth ers strained? If a person musk stand much the best rest is obtained by lying for a few minutes on the bacl, with the feet higher than the head. This eases strain on the overtaxed leg muscles and those of the feet al- s0. CHAPPED HANDS. The first chilly day is the day to be gin to wage war against chapped hands. 1f you can keep your bands from becoming chapped in'the transi tional weather between hot and cold, you will have little difficulty with them later on, for it is in the first cold days that they are especially sensitive to cold. Chapped hands are almost always caused by insufficient drying affer washing, or perhaps the water was icy cold and very ‘bard or used too hot, Both extremes are bad for the skin. To preserve the hands in good con- dition in cool weather, _they should, whenever possible, befashed In_te- pia water, and if this is softened by a teaspoonful of borax so much ths better. Be sure to nse a soap of good qual- ty, and when drying the hands taks the precaution of rubbing each finger separaately. 1t the hands are rubbed over once a day with a slice of lemon and a little, cold cream, or if mutton tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly befure going to beq at night there will be little' danger of the sking becoming chapped or rough. et An excellent and delightful fragrani cold cream for the hands, or the face either, can be made as follows: Take eight ounces of almond oil, one and one-quarter of an ounce of spermace- tl, one and one-quarter of an ounce of ‘'white wax. Shred the wax and the spermaceti finely and put in a ching marmalade jar. A small enamel ware saucepan will do. Stand it in another saucepan about a third full of boiling water. Keep this simmering until the ingredients are entirely meited and then afd a few drops of lavender oil and pour into il china pots. - The little pots in which cheess comes are excellent for this purpose. The pre- paration can be used as soon as it is cogl and will keep for 3 long time. Anotber invaluable lotion for hands that are inclined to be red in winter, even though they do not chap badly, is made of lemon juice, cau de and glveerin, equal parts of each. This can also be used for chapped hangs. Flaiorate novelty veils are draped loossly over the hats. et tires More evening coats in black are sold sold than coats of any other The wallet leather bag is the most popular for the moment. In most evening wraps the sleeves are modifications of the kimono. Tulle and net can do wonders in Te- modeling the old evening gowns. If the skirt does not flare enough, use a reed or thick wire to get the right line. This is done In many of the high priced models and can be oopied by you. Felt hats are coming again. If you have a chance to buy one, all means do so. They will be exclusive and will be conspicuous in the sea of black velvet hats. The long circular skirt that has de- veloped from the circular tumic has come. It has completely conquered the narrow underskirt. It certainly has and gives a change, that which is sought by every wo- man. % TO CLEAN SERGE. ‘White serge or flannel sults may be kept In very good condition if they are cleaned at home every time they to a little dingy. Ground rice (rice, figur) is one of the most satisfactofy cleaning mediums. Rub the rice into the garments as well as you can, and do not brush or shake it for & day or two. Then take it in the open afr, put it on a hanger, fasten it -on a clothesline, or other convenient place and brush it thor- oughly. It is well to protect the hair with a cap, foreven in the open air some of the powder will find its way into the hair. STUFFED CANDY. Purchase a pound of fresh marsh- mallows and cut them in two with the scissers. Do net attempt to pull them apart. for this cennot be done with success; they should be cut horizon- tally, as they look better that way when stuffed. In some of these put pieces of preserved ginger, candied orange peel, walnuts or pecans. Cherrles make delicious filling and pleces of fig are also good. After the filling is put on the bottom portion, press the top part over it and this will veadily adhere. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. All little girls love ‘dolls and the more they have the happier they are. Sometimes the head of a doll is broken while the body it still in good condilon and ofit of the body a new toy cen be made. Make a rag head and arms and stitch them to the body and then cover the whole with black sateen. Now take two flat linen buttons and two black shoe buttons; pierce the linen onmes through the center, put the ehanks of the black = ones through them and stitch on for eyes. Run a piece of tape down to make a nose and across for the mouth, and use o plece of black fur for the 5, A pretty doll pincushion can _be made from the head of a tiny doll Wind a length of colored ribbon around the head and gather tightly, stufl with wool or cotton and gather at the bottom. Hang by a piece of narrow ribbon that is fastened at the black of the dolfs head, or it can Dbe made to set on the dresser. DRESS DESIGNING, The European war has various ef- fects on us in America, and it is well to study the more advantageous of these: the bad effects dom't need studying. The iack of foreign designs in gowns will be felt early, and the home made dress, in a new sense,. will be the dress we shall all have to buy. Therefore, any woman who has a sense of design in garments should make the best of it. Now is her great opportunity. ‘The success of the ¥French design- ers was largely owinz to their habit of specializing, and this idea should govern us. A business of great value could be built wp by specializing, for instance, in business women's clothes. There 18 no bar to origlnality in de- signing proper office dress or suit or waist. but certain requirements should be definitely met. The question of expense need also be considered. If a woman established a name for de- signing busi clothes that were sensible, charming and _moderately priced. ‘she would have all she could 0. 5 Anocther good field is that of design- ing for children-or for infants. School clothes, play dfesses, dainty frocks for parties—all these find a ready sale. ‘We do not in any case want foreign destgns for the youngsters, since American _childpén” are differently brought up, leading a far freer and more athletic existence than French children. We want clothes suitable for them. ‘There are many other lines that will suggest themselves, such as the one plece dress, the negligee, the evening or walking gown, But the thing to do is to choose your line and stici to it, giving all your talent and care to 1ts development. RUST STAINS, Rust stains, no matter how bad, can ‘be _easily putting vinegar and ealt on the stain and placing it in the warm sunshine. Repeat this until the stain is removed. The vinegar and salt (together) are very active and will remove the stafn more quick- Iy than lemon and sait, ARE THE IDEAL GIFT.

Robert E. Lee says that although she is a soldier's daugh- ter, and descended from soldiers in a long line, she is for peace and could almost say ‘peace at any price’ thi~k- ing of the misery that must follow war. She was in London and saw the troops marching by and could only see them through tears, so much was she im- pressed with the sight of the brave, handsome young soldiers, golng to possible slaughter. MENDING THE CUFFS. “The cuffs of my husband’s shirts ‘break’ and get ragged while the re- mainder of the garment is still in per- fect condition. 1 have tried many ways of mending them and finally have found an easy and satisfactory one. As the shirts are usually white with a colored stripe, a strip of stout white material about an inch wide will mend them. (If shirt is colored and you have no piecds to matgh cut a strip off either side of the of shirt.) Trim off ragged edge of the cuff and stitch on strip (righ sides together) just below a stripe if possi- ble, Pull tight over edge of cuff, turn under and stitch on wrong side’— Woman’s Home Companion. SILK HANDKERCHIEFS. Silkk handkerchiefs should be washed in a warm lather made with pure soap. This should be blued, as should the rinsing water. Roll dp tightly in a cloth and iron the handkerchiefs between linen or they will tarn yel- low. RECIPES.

Don’t give a person an em- broidered sofa pillow, when a bushel of potatoes would be more acceptable. —Rockville Journal. People who have taken the trouble to observe must have been impressed with the recent startling increase in the number of crimes against prop- erty and the immunity enjoyed by their perpetrators. Now we progress from crimes against property to a crime against life, apparently grow- ing out of the former. Which sug- gests the question: Are we providing a pasture for the lawless held in Con- necticut and do we possess the ma-~ chinery for protection and detection adequate to the needs of the smaller communities? And if we do not, are we to rely for the safety of our prop- erty and lives upon the inmertia of criminals or their preference for oth- er flelds?—Hartford Times. Could anything more sharply show the savagery, the brutality, the sense- lessness of war than the present plight of Belglum? Through no fault of her own her seven millions of people are idle, a large per centage of them are ill, and all are on the verse of star- vation. Bad as is her condition it would be much worse were it not for the food and assistance sent from this country. And all this woe and wretch- edness is the direct result of the wick- ed ambition of the war lords who are willing to plunge half the world in- to utter wretchedness in_ order that they may win a little military glory.

Mr. Editor: As a citizen and busi- ness man of Norwich for 30 years and a member of the Board of Trade and| the Business OMen’s association 1 feel that perhaps a word relative to the proposed amalgamataion of these bodies under the name the Norwich (d:h&mber of Commeérce may be in or- er, 2 The Chamber of Commerce of the U. S. of America was conceived by former President Taft; he, believing that the best thought of the business interests should be put in some con- crete form to serve in a way as a Fuide to congress in its deilberating in order that they might bave digmi- fied intelligent opinion on legislation This National, Chamber of Commerce was organized, April 21, 1912, for the purpose of hindinfr.tonlher all civie, commercial and trade organizations, etc, in the country into a central body of recognized authority. _The first annual meeting Wes held Janu- ary 22, 1913 with 280 orgmou representing 43 states, the of Columbia, Hawail, the Philippines, Porto Rico, and the American Chamber. of Commerce at Levant, hav- ing a membership of 159,000. Since then the membership has grown very rapidly. 'The object of the National Chamber is to obtain by referendum and otherwise the consensus of opinion in regard \to proposed , legislation. Congress 12 eppreciating he vast im. portance of this body governed as it is by the ablest men that can be pro- cured in the country and for those reasons the organization bLas hecome one of the most powerful and proba- by will be the most powerful trade crganization in the world. Quick to see the advantages of such a centralization of forces the Boston Chamber of Commerce was formed bringing together some 20 in- dependent organizations into one chamber which in time is subdivided into bureaus who elect their own chiefs. Ap many bureaus us are nec- essary may be formed: for instance ith a farm bureau all matters ap- pertaining to agriculture would imme- diately be referred to that division. The same would apply to legislative, bankin{., mazufacturing, transporta- tion, merchandising, etc. who in turn would recommend their findings to the central bodys or chamber for its ap- proval or rejection. The Boston Chamber has recently elected. its of- ficers and governing board for the en- Suing year and attention has been drawn to the high class of men that have been chesen, men of national importance having agreed to serve as bureau chiefs. and leaders of de- partments, thus giving their time and the best of their ebility to the grest work the Boston Chamber of m- merce has mapped out as a leadsr in New England. The Sar Franclsco Chamber of Comy- merce, as far back as G0 years ago, began its process of consolidation and was carried on until 1910 when four Larse mn#m:;. with more % lg: nover-lappi luties, | leading Arm of the eity belonging o two, ‘three and four of these associa- tions, were united into one great Chamber of Commerce. convinced that the city could not do itsedf justice with its commercial forces divided.

Former Senator Nelson W. Aldrich expressed his emphatic opinion that the modern cramber of commerce was an absolute necessity to every city alive to its own welfare. Andrew Carn the noted EW' thropist, agreed what Taft and Aldrich said concerning the necessity as a safe guard if nothing else of the modren chbamber of com- merce. And so I might go on and on siv- ing specific instances of the great iandslide, all over the nation, of civic i bodjes toward the Chamber of Com- merce idea. Here in Connecticut the State Business Men's assoclation, the largest ard most aggressive of ail such organizations has recently gone over in a body, the 42 local as- sociations with it -into one state champer. Here at home the Norwich Business n's association, fully be- lieving that the majority of the mem- bers of both the board of trade and their own organization would much prefer o belong to one organization, and- that, -because of its broader here of influence, would naturally choose the Chamber of Commerce to any other name, have gone on record @s_favoring the consolidation. To some minds the worst of all pains is the pain of a new idea, To the ambitious or progressive it is a spur to action. A community bent on improvement learns and adopts their new.ideas when the latter prom- ise benéficial results. Admitting, that the Board of Trade has done good work in the past is not a suf- ficlent reason for standing in the way of greater progress in the future greater cooperation, greater unity of purpose. And until we~ have every man, woman and child in the com- munity taking an active interest in the work, should we members of eith- er of these civic bodies permit our- selves to feel that the best interests of Norwich were being properly ad- vanced. ONE WHO BELIEVES IN ADVANCEMENT. Norwich, Dec. 12, 1934, Not in South Killingly. Mr. Editor: So South Killingly also Dbas & mowing machine out at pasture this winter? This is interesting. The | machine referred to recently in Dan- felson news in The Bulletin did not happen to be in South Killingly, or anywhere near that part of the town, nor did the item 5o state. This is Te- spectfully referred to the gentleman signing himself Fair Play and who writes in a letter to the editor that “he deals in nothing but cold facts based upon good judgment and com- mon sense.” Well, we should worry! Furthermore, and to another writer to the editor over South Killingly way, where there is an amplitude of critics, not always fair to town officials, by the way, The Bulletin's item said nothing about a rabid critic who lived on a farm in South Klillingly. The rabid iona s M, critic referred to says he wouldn't live in South Kiliingly, but that isn't any- thing against such a beau section of the town. €O Danielson, Dec. 13, 1914. from New York to the HAVANA *R&50 Sailings Thursdays and Seturdavs. NASSAU T JAMAICA Fortaightly Sercice togr of 10 % e Ameben BaE b SRR mmwhgmxlm.
