Massicot, Curate of the Sacred Heart Church Spake, The usual large attendance was present at the lenten services in St. Mary’s church on Wednesday evening at 7.30 o'clock. Rev. William H. Ken- nedy conducted the offering of the holy rosary and litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The sermon was preached by| Rev. Philippe L. Massicote, curate of the ‘Sacred Heart church, Taftville. Ty. Massicote's discourse treated on the ‘obligation of The Haster Duty, which this season of the year always brings home to the Catholic mind. Sin was pictured in the eyes of three classes of men and women in the world today and the lessons were! drawn forth that by the frequency of confession and holy communion all temptation and sin could be controlled, thus ensuring the salvation of the soul. It proved to be a scholarly discourse and was hearq with much attention by the large congregation present. Fr. Massicott conducted the benediction exercises, having the assistance of Fr. Kennedy.

SHIFT FEEBLE-MINDED TO STATE ASYLUMS. Proposed Bill Would Take Them Out of Almshouses. A propesed act concerning tho re- tention of- insane persons in alms- houses was given hearing by the com- mittee on humane institutions in Hart- ford on Tuesday. It was urged in fa- vor of the measure, that while there are elderly. persons whose minds have béen _weakened by old age may be properly cared for in almshouses, that the really insane, whether they be feeble-minded or liable to become dangerous, should receive expert treat- ‘ment, in order that a permanet or are now 500 insane people in the alms- houses of the state that ought to be under treatment in the state hospitals for the insane, and arrangements should be made by an increase in the size of the state institutions for their cccommodation. Insanity is u disease and the place for a sick patient is in an hospital, not an almshouse. In the almshouse at the present timo there aro cripples, deaf and dumb, blind, epileptics,. feeble-minded and in- sane, while the almshouses should be devoted solely to the care of the un- fortunate poor. In many instances the poor arc sclf-supporting. It was us- serted that from an economical and Christian . standpoint insane people, oven the mildly insane, should not be retained in almshouses. Dr, Edward D. Downs, president of the State board of charities, appeared in opposition. He could see nothing of an economical nature in the meas- ure, and many people went to the almshouse for choice, and the women found pleasure in working in _ the gardens and the men in the fields. Poor men also found pleasure in smoking their pipes and enjoying the exercise of sawing wood at will, and chose the almshouse as home. In most of theso cases the inmates may be lacking mentally, they might be class- ed under this proposed bill as feeble- minded or insane, and bundied away to an insane retreat, away from their friends in their home towns. There are people in almshouses who are there willingly, but would not want to have the stigma of insanity upon them, as it would have a detriment affect upon their relatives, especially their children and grandchildren. Only ten per cent. of the inmates of the state hospitals are discharged as prac- tically cured and nearly all of these are returncd, and he considered the present almshouse plan as satisfac- tory. Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell said that 460 inmates of the almshouses of the state were old people, physically weak and unable to take their places in the| world, and it would be a hardship to take 'these people away from their home town and friénds, for no matter! how poor the pauper ho Thas some friend who make occasional calls. Charity Commissioner Keéllogs and Clark_Bailey of the Hartford charity commission, also spoke in opposition to the bill. Muyst Make Returns on Drugs. Deputy Coliector of Internal Reve- nue William H. Farrell desires to jm- press on dfuggicts, physicians den- tists, midwifes, Veterinary surgeons and_ hospitals, having narcotic drugs on hand March 1, the necessity of making an inventary of them and swearing to its correctness by March 5, beforo a notary public. This in- ventory must be made on paper of go0d quality so that it will endure, and must be kept pending the in- sSpection by a federal officer. This is most important, as failure to do so will subject the delinquent to a pen- alty. Collector _ Farrell has received special notification from Washington| in reference to this matter and the coming under the provisions of the anti-narcotic act, which went into effect March 1.

Legislation designed to remedy the Ppresent conditions of waters in this State to prevent their pollution in the future will be introduced into thé gen- eral assembly, says the report of a special committee of the state board of health, which has been making a study the problem, as authorized the assembly of two years ago. The report was wmade public Wed: nesday night. The report, which is an_exhaustive one, covering nearly 150 printed pages, and containing many photcgraphs, and Charts, signed by the committee: Bdwurd . Root, Albert W. Phillip: Lowis Sperry, Arthur J. Wolft, Louis J. Pons, J. Frederick Jackson and Jo- seph H. Townsend. In part, the report says: “Though Wwe cannot say that the condition of the Tivers poliuted is directly affectinz the health of any community we know that in many instances it is offensive to the sense of decency and that it threatens the existence of major fish life which is a source of revenue and a means of sustenance to many hun- dreds of citizens of this state. The improvement of these conditions is not impossible, nor would the expense be excessive if remedial action is taken in time; the longer it is delayed the greater the cost will be.” Large Streams Not Much Affected. After- showing tables concerning samples of water taken from many streams in the state, the report say: “The board concludes that with few exceptions all the streams of the state sivo evidence of pollution. In the case of large streams like the Conmnecticut, Thames and Housatonic, the flow is so large and the volume is increased greatly by the influx of sailt er at each tide, on those portions which are tidal, that the dilution is sufficient for the present to take care of the sewage and wastes from the different cities on them, provided the outlets discharge far enough out from the shore to provide quick and adequate mixing and dispersion of the wastes and to permit their being carried away by the tidal currents. Unfortunately, this condition is not true of most towns” continues the report.” “Within the next few years many towns will be obliged to in- stall some kind of plant and it is very important that the tvpe of such in- stallation should be passed on by the stato board, in order that the rights of adjoining towns and the public at large be protected. The streams which extend beyond the borders of the state into Massachusetts all show signs of pollution.” Waste from Factories. After discussing the pollution caused by wastes from factories, etc., the re- port says: “‘Connmecticut is largely a manufacturing state and on account of the excellent waterpower available, many of these industries are uated on the rivers. These industries are of great value to the state and no g 5 them in the legiti- mate use of the streams to dispose of their wastes should De comsidered when, however, their use of the stream is such as to menace public health or offend decency, there shonld be no hes- itation in stopping it. The rights of the public should be supreme at all times. But the mistaken idea that the interests of public health and manu- facturing industries are diametricall opposed should be dismissed. It been one of the greatest obstacles in preventing the correction of pollution of our streams.

The state appropriated $500,000 for the construction of the highway bri over the Connecticut at brook and several hundred thousand dollars for a similar bridge over the Connecticut at Bast Haddam. No one questions the need of these bridges or tl'e wisdom of building them. There is as much or even more need for a highway bridse at New London. isn’t particularly needed by either New London or Gro- ton, which now have a ve sfac- tory ferry service that probably suits their needs better than the bridge ever will, but the bridge is needed by those persons who use the trunk line hi; way along the shore.

To build a new bridse, the state has done twice on the Con- necticut, would cost not half a million dollars, 'as was the case at Saybrook, but more than a million, perhaps much as 2 million and a half. If it was necessary to build new, it is doubt- tul It te would contemplate such a thing for years to come. When, therefore, it is considered that for an investment of something_approximat- ing $100,000, one-fifth of what the Saybrook bridge cost, the state can get a plant that it would cost upwards of a million to reproduce, one gets a differ- ent view of the situation.

Elevator Tower at Groton Ship Plant New London Ship and Engine Co., has made contracts by which it will have built at its Groton plant an ele- vator tower and bridge connecting its office building and shops. The office building is on the hill and is reached Ly jong flights of steps. It is planned to build a tower in which an elevator will run so that the evelator when at full hei; will be on a level with the ground floor of the office building. At this srade an enclosed bridge will be constructed. The tower will be 75 feet in height and will rise above the machine shop on the east side of this building. Resume Work on Terminal, Woris that has been terhporarily sus- pended on tho state terminal at New London is expected to bo resumed in a few days. Cold weather caused its tem- porary abandonment, largely owing to the fact that the quarries wer shut down, making it impossible to obtain riprap and other stone. It is expected that a conference of tho contractors and quarrymen will bo held this weelt with a view to beginning operations on a large scale soon. Practically no outside work has been carried on at the terminal for several weeks. Chimney Fire at I. C. Eccleston’s. A lively chimney fize at the home of Irving C.

Comuion garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just 2 few applications will prove a reve- lation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents, a large bottle at drug stores, known as “Wyeth's Sage end Sulphur Compound,” thus aveiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we ail desire to retain our, youthful appearance and attractiveness- By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, no one can teil, be- cause it does so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush_with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have -disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft end lux- uriant.
