NOTABLE BIRTHDAY.

NOrABLR BIkTHDAY.
Yesterday was bstter day in this re-
gion than the Fourth of July. The Fourth
of July is disagreeably noisy, fiery, drunk
en-, dangerous, filled with Chinese and
other stinks, and It leaves q bad taste In
the mouth, bad feeling In the head, and
q general reaction. Yesterday was noisy,
but 1t was noisy with the sound of pleas
ing, patriotic musIc~ 1t was gsy with the
American fsg, the brightest and best of
all the Asgs that float anywhere on this
round earth. The oelebraters of the day
did not feel obliged to exprers their
love of country by their love of
rum. There were instructive and in
spring exercises as the Hyperion,
in the schools and elsewhere. There was
q great deal of sobsr, honest and heartfelt
patriotism exhibited. Love of country
was stimulated and intelligent appreciation
of the blessings of freedom increased. The
influence of such q day is great and far
reaching. Itdeepiy impresses the thought
full and moves others to think. 1t Ia an
object lesson to our newer citizens, who
can learn from 1t something of the ideas
that underlie the government which pro-
vides place of refuge for them. An in
teresting and illustrative incident of the day
was q long conversation between two call
hot" men at the corner of State and Chapel
streets, In the course Of which the one
who knew something about the history of
this country carefully explained to the
other in broken sausage what "vsshing-
toms birthday" is.
Such day and such q celebration are
very encouraging. 1t has at times seemed
that patriotism was dying out, and that the
people were becoming unmindful of the
glories, the privileges and the responsibili-
ties of freedom. But there were no signs
of such decay around here yesterday. And
especially pleasing and significant was the
part taken in the celebration by the thou
sands of children in the schools. No bet
ter or more useful teaching can be given
them than was given them yester-
day, and all the principals and
teachers who arranged the very slsb-
crate and appropriate programmes
deserve the thanks of the community.
Patriotism can be better taught in the
schools than anywhere else, and the prin-
cipals and teachers are we'll employed when
they are trying to give those who will soon
be the people q right and . deep idea of
what the American flag floats for.
"Wsshington's birthday" appears to
have been celebrated with unusual spirit
and understanding in many other parts of
the country, as we'll as in New Haven. 1t
was therefore the birthday of countless
impulses towsrd true patriotism and good
citizenship Such birthdays are needed in
order that this government of the people,
by the people, for the Pc opls, shall not per-
ish."

Snowy Shirt Waists.

So much has been said of shirt waists
that there is little new In them. There
will be reaction soon, but just now nc
elaboration Is too much and no material
too rich, snowy or delicate for use. A va
ration of the serpentine effect Is the most
popular model. but many are made with
adjustable yokes and with the yoke re,

It was admitted in the Rsichstsg Q few

A Flesh Forming Food

(Artificially Dfgested.D
While this is an artihcially
digested food it appears to in
crease the appetite in a most
remarkable manner, and what
is more gratifying it causes the
food to be properly digested so
as to give strength, vigor and
plumpness to the body. All
unpleasant feelings after eating
are prevented and refreshing
sleep restored ; WEAKNESS and
exhaustion give place to health
and cheerfulness. The emaci-
ated should use Paskola. 1t
supersedes Cod Liver Oil and
is far more effective. 1t never
rises in the mouth after being
swallowed. 1t creates an ap-

Are any of the new-fangled
washing compounds as good

Dobbins' Electric Soap has

Do your clothes last as they

not using Dobbins' Electric.
That is sure. And if not,
wouldn't it paw you to use it

the Judge. After it has been
used and praised by a whole

is not a new-fangled humbug

AN INDIANAPOLanIO IORA.

A great msny plans for helping the poor
have been tried in this country lately. One
of the most interesting and ingenious of
them Is in operation in Indianapolis, and Is
said to work we'll. 1t is carried out by 9
relief committee. This committee does
not consider the case of any citizen who
has credit anywhere else in the city, and 1t
requires of those whom 1t helps promise
of pay in cash or work. All supplies are
sold at cost and the quantity of goods pro-
vided and the kind is decided by the COM
mittee and regulated by the number of per-
sons in the family to be supplied. The ra-
tion for family of four or FIVE persons for
two weeks consists of twelve pouuds Of
potatoes, ten pounds of corn meal, ten
pounds of hominy, Ave pounds of fresh
pork. two pounds of picked pork, eight
losves of bread, one quart of molasses,
one-hslf pound of salt and one cake of
soap. The charge for this combination
Is eigbty-two cents. At q retail store
the cost in Indianapolis would be 81 90.
One-hslf of the quantity is issued to a
family of two or thres-this bsing found
sufficient for one wesk-at q cost of fort =
one cents. The committee changes the ra-
tion from time to time. 1t also supplies
three hundred pounds of coal per week at
q charge of thirty cents. The purchaser
transports the coal himself In wheelbsr-
rows-two tickets, emitting the holder to
ono hundred aud fifty pounds, being Is
sued each week. The supply of fuel is
sufficient in ordinary weather for one cook
stove. They also supply shoes for the
children of ths unemployed, whom the
children are attending school and when
the need of them is certified by the teacher.
The municipal authorities co operate with
the relief committee aud one days work
each week is given able bodied men who
with the proceeds pay for q weeks rations.
If any person refuses to work further
credit is denied him at the food market.
This plan seems calculated to do more
good than harm, which is more than can
be said for many of the relief plans tina,
are or have been In operation.
