There wasm't anything ospecially mew| in what the president had to say to the disabled veterans of the Worid war In his Christmas message to them, but it deserved to be repeated. Too much em- phasis cannot be placed on the fact that they are enmtitled “to the utmest assuv- ance that a grateful people stands wili- ing and anxious to do, and will continue to do, everything possible for them.” This properly expresses the attitude of the people for whom the president speaks. There is full recognition of the fact that these men are suffering the effects of the conflict into wnich this country entered and in which they gave their services for upholding national se- curity and vindicating national honor. The disabled have been mors heavily| peralized than many others, and while, the services of others, those who gave} their all or those who were ready to! o their part, cannot be forgotten there s a dependency created by the condi- tion of the sick and the matmed that makes the responsibility of the country acute. Becauss of the frequent claims to the! contrary, too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the attention which the government s giving to the disabled, It is needed to offset misrapresentation. Something like a half billion dollars & year are being spent in the care of fhe sick and disabled in addition to the mi lions that are being devoed to the con- struction of hospitals, There isw't any desire to skimp in the matter of dealing with the disabled. The handicaps they suffer bécause of thelr service are mnot being overlooked or minimized. All the conditions s rounding ther care have not been ideal Thd work of correcting them has taken more or/less time, but from the stand- point of the government or the people there Is nothing too good for the vi lims of the armed service and It 1§ proper that they should be assured of the continued interest of the nation in their welfare especially at this season of the year, NEEDLESS PPSTAL EXPENSE, Bveryone knows what confusion |Is eaused by misdirecting a letter, and yet thers are probably few who realize what work is involves or what expense is attached to imtefpreting the itention of the writer. In a great many in- stances It is, of course, impossible. In Sibawwiihe. fificulty is Mot gréal though It required extra work but when it 's realized that there is an average of 375,000/ letters a day that are wrengly or inadequately addressed it can be ap- preclated that the expense runs to a sizeable amount. In addition to such work as the rez- slar postal forces do in getting mail that is without street and number, cf mall that has a wromg address to the person or business house intended, the tervices of 600 persons are requirel eight hours every day in overcoming as far as they are able the carelsssness fisplayed. This means considerable ex- pense that ought to be greatty reducad, and would be if the proper amount of attention was devoted to the matter of addresses. With the fdea of cutting this expense the suggestion has béen made by the postmaster general that a charge of one rent be made on each letter Which hes been Improperly addressed. That wouid mean that the nersom receiving it would pay, and in many instances tney would be glad to, but it can Be realized from the quantity of material that is_sent Mirough the mails, which those getting it would prefer never to see, that there would be marked opposition to paying even that tax on some mafl matter. There are many instances whers the wrong number of the house makes Mit- He difference stmce the carriers are well soquainted and knéw whers the person | lives, but the failure to give the street Rddress, the- writing of the wrong sity or the wrong state prevents quick de- livery and gives n6 end of troubls to postal employes and no smail amoust of expense to the postoffice department. Penalization, however, ought t0 b8 @p- plled to tHoss faking the mistikes ra- iher than those for whom the letters are Intended, — THE STUFF THAT KILLS. Only a few years ago, at the Chrisie| Was séaeon the commtry was snocked by e large number who were killd by the drinking of lignor that praved to be Ppolson. It was a time when there was & dsposition to try anything once, add Wikn there had ben nq very extemsive concerning’ hé' substitution of ol for the grah alcohol, or @eadly efteets of covsuming such, The lesstn coniected with those cases suficiently sppalling to have made lasting impression. Possibly it did to Jome, but there are those who failed to take it serfously, maimtained that they warsiing to those With an unquénchable thirst. Contrary to the view heid by some everything that is offercd for sale is not fit to drink. There may be ob: tamable what s termed good Mquor, L quor such as was made before prohibi- tion and kills slowty if it kills at all, but while this may be available it painfully évident that it is mot béing sold to fhe exclusion of that vil stuft that onfy looks like the real stuff. The poisonous stuff is productng & big| profit to thé sellér and it is to be ex- pected that it will be avaflable just zs long aé the seller éan escape detéétion and ean find those willing to buy it dnd take 3 chance. The supply will equal the demand and those whe are engaged in disposing of it realize that every time a vietim is put under ground just so much testimony against him is burled. Some are willing to tell where they get their drinks, but certainly dead men tell no tales. DEALING WITH ARMENIANS. The problem 6f Armemia is ome in ‘which the world is imterested especially at the Lausanne confefence, It is against the Armenians that the Turks have stood 6ut in thei? urexeelled eruel- ty and it is in behalf of the harshly treated people that the nations have used their influemce. It was the prom- ise of the allies that Armenia would be! maintained and protected as a separate state, but it was quickly forsotten. It was deserted and quickly drifted back into the costrol of Turkey or the bol- shevikl, 1t is impossible to view the future ex- cept with trembdling when Armenia fs concerned. From aill that can be judged by the past the Turks are determinel upon the wiping out of the Armenians. There is the hirshest of feelings be- tween the Turks and Armeniams. It is only what might be expected under tre eircumstances. There has been nothing to cause any other fesling. With Armenia suspitions that 2 massacre may be stirted any moment, and the Turks ready to engage thersin when orders aré given, there is a si uation which needs correction. Left 9 themselves there will mever b an ad- justment. The idea of seiting aside a certain section in northérn Asia Minor for the Arménians, which may be to Turkey the same as Canmada or Irelamd. is to Great Britain. Turkey may think that it has a right to do with the Armenians as it pleases. It will be strarige if the nations as sembled at Lausanne do met give it understand that they think otherwise, The willingfiess to hear the Armenians Tepresents no bther attitude than ought to be expectéd on their part. While near east problems are being diseussed with a view to adfustment iNérs cer- tainly cannot be a slighting ot the Ar- menian auestién, and Turkey can do nothing that Will place it in a better light Witk the rest of the world than to| make amends for its past by deing at this late date the proper thing by the| Armenians. M remains to be seen| whether the conference can impress that upon the Turkish delegation in a way that will mean a new order ur things in that reglem. REMAKING CONSTITUTIONS. It may be no éasy task to draft a new constitution for a state. but from the experience of sOM6 of the states, that is miuch easler than getting it adopted after it has beéh drawn up. Ti- linois has recently furnished proof to that effect, and it was only what the states of New York and Pemnsylvania had previously dome. By nearly three- quarters of a million majority the noes wom out on the new state comstitution, even though it was a case Where thers was & crying need for briiging the in-| strument up fo date, quite as much as there is for & the city of This doesn't display any radicalism, the thfowing off of the 64 and the put- ting on of the new. It indicates an un- willingness to part with some of existing constitutional provisions and accept some of those that: were pro- posed. The fact that much time had Teen spent in the work counted for lt- tle. It was the fact that changes were called for that céffain ones could” not tolerate. The fact that certain condi- tipns in Chicago do mot meet with tha approval of the rest of the state doesn's mesn that Chicago is going to capitu- late to please the others. That there were some wudmirable nnd desirable features in the new gomstitu- tion goes without saying, There wera some which Chicago could mot swallow, and because it could not pick it to pieces Chicago felt obliged to Kill it. It had the votes and it got the result it set out for. Thir means twat all the work and efforts for a better constitu- tion in Iflinols have gone for naught. It Tevéals the difficulties where the wel- fare Of the evmmonwealth in general cannot get the right cooperative sup- port. $ 2 BDITORIAL NOTES.

As luck would have it, we turnéd a sharp cornef just then, and my purse caught on the end of the rail. It opened wide and out spilled a mirror, a letter, a key, a lucky plece, a little purse and a quarter.” “So_little Loretta had to come down lower,” sald her brother gleefally. “And condescend to plck up her own things for once.” “Indeed I 4ldn't,” retorted Loretta. “A large man who had jumped on at the cor- ner was blocking the way at the bottom of the stairs and 1 decided he could pick | them up better than I could.” “To be sure,” groancd her brother. “It there's a young man in the vicinity a irl e very belpless.

Mr. Editor: One feature of marketing| poultry during the last few decades isi one that deserves serious consideration by_all consumers. Poultry dressed externmally, but un- drawn for days and perhaps weeks, is unft for human consumption and should be barfed from public marke's under penalty of law as it was decades | ago. But undue and hasty greed, attended with unscrupulous preparation, have revolutionized this branch of foodstuffs, which is one of the choicest and mos desirable of all meats when properiy prepared for market. But the common practice of offering stale, undrawn poul- iry is a flagrant insult to all consumers, either conscious or uricomscioys of its effect, Poultry should be drawn while warm. soon affer killed, to prevent poisonous intestinal gases from permeating the whole carcass as they are sure to do if left undrawn any considerable length cf time, and this is easily perceptible to normal faculties. It there is no statutory regulation for this branch of an-all important indus: try, it is high time to inaugurate meas- ures in the next general assembly. There are other abuses aside from the consideration of hygiene; one is the extortion in demanding the full price for poisonous filth that should have been removed. : This would seem to be a proper sub- ject for the medical fraternity to con- Sider and have regulated; or. perhaps the chamber of commerce, or the Ra- tary club who are famous searchers for disorepanicies. Yours truly, H F. PALMER. Norwich, Dec, 25, 1922. A Little Talk on Thrift Work Brings Happiness It is well to bear in mind that one of : the gréatést sourcss of human happiness is work. And this ls a truth taat could be more widely learned to sdvantage. Too many follow the rule that the more work they can avoid ths greater | will be théir happiness. Theré is no true happiness in idleness. Waste of time is a form of thriftlessness that is as destructive of rightful pleas- ufe as waste of maney of waste of health. ‘Work alone firings happiness, becatise work is creative and upbuildinz. All the instincts of the human: yace which have héen respansiile for humanity's! development have found their fulfiliment ; only in work. In every féalm of mans activity, wheth- er it be spiritusl, mental or physical human experience bhas shown that pro- gress alone has come through work. This does not mean that there is no rightful place in life for play, or that diversion is not in-accordanice with good thrift. It is a matter of common seuse that life can not be made up entirely of labor. There would be ittle if any pro- gress In a material way under suca con- ditiéns, and, in the finer things of life, there would be absence af all deveiop- ment. 5 You cannot transform a maa into a machine and get human resulis. But, within the bounds of the av- erage routine of life, .work the most satisfying happiness—work that is right, upbullding and hélpful. Do not allow any ambition for idleness to syring case|up in your heart. Wastiig time nbver, undér any circlimstances, can bring las ing joy. It is not dissimilar to all other unthrifty practices. Happiriess through work is one of the fundamentals that ¢an he continuaily whole lot go at once.” “He handed me the letter.” Loretta went on, “and mever even glanced at the address, thus making me think he was quite a gentleman.” “And somewhat mayBe? “And then T told him that the lueky piece and the quarter also belonged to me,” Loretta said, ignering him. ‘“He gave me an odd look—" “You didn't say anything about having dropped an odd look.” “And handed me the Loretta continued, coolly. “And I was glad to get it for I certainly felt I needed it just then.” “After that he handed you the quar- ter, 1ike a #3od little boy,” said her brother, “and you went on your way ce- joicing.” . “Indeed, and he didn't,” Loretta lauzh- ed, as she gathered up her wraps. “He picked up the quaster all right enough, but he slipped it into his pocket with never so much as a by your leave.
