But with the increase in the popula- tion the gain in divorces is to be noted, since with the exception of eight states, Maine, West Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota and Colorado there was 2 larger number of divorces in 1916 than there were ten years previous. Thus the tendency seems to be in .| the wrong direction. It is inereasing | instead of decreasing, and regardiess | of the attention which has been given the matter in the past it is manifestly cvident that the efforts that are being put forth to check it are mot suf- ciently effective. dlorwich Bulietin and Goufied 123 YEARS OLD “etewistion prie 126 8 week A 9 8 month: $6.00 be Posteffice at Nerwh ater Telephone Calls evs-OFIcs 450 etin Bditortal ¥ Com., s 5.3 350 Offee Neiepbane 1 Wikiman March 22, 1919 * Norwich, Saturday, HELPING THE DISABLED. | While none 100 much effort can be | put forth in the endeavor to wee that | the returning soldiers, sailors and ma- rines are provided with employment, it cannot fail to be realized thai there is still o greater problem in looking out who have been disabled by | the To a very large desree the { me are coming back from war | able to take care of them- when it is announeed that 00,000 wounded and diseased he fact cannot be overlooked should get the best possible so that the future can be bright as possible for them and v can to a certain degree look out for hemselves, as they would much pre- o who ice are but CIRCULATION ENDING 10,090 WEEK s RCH they nade a e all se 200,000 will be help. hem will he able to re- t the work in whi ohliged ta learn a new his number will be »d from the fact that the raining service which is erument 10 the men tions from e to make them- te of their fn- them ® heen would e ir inju 1 care of, men.

Thought rules the world, for it is the master of individuals the world over. Every person in this life dweils under a shadow of some kind. Perhaps it is the shadow which heips to keep us sane and makes sympathy for others possible. God kmows nothing needs sunshine all of the time. Where there is the finest vegetation on earth the sun shines about one-third of the time. We cherish the thought of eternal hap- piness, but we know of nothing good which does not become monetonous after a while. The shadow may be the check. or the protection, we all need to get our balances in life correct, or our compl n perfect. The object of the shadow is not to exclte gioom, but to check the evil influence of glare.
