difficulty is experienced in

No wonder catarrh causes

breath, deranges the stomach
and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment
must be constitutional-alter-

CONNECTICUT ELECTIONS.
Electors VIII Vote on the Question oi
Constitutional Revision.


Constitutional Revision.
From the New York Sun.
Connecticut, in accordance with an old
political usage in New England, continues
to hold its township elections In the month
Of October for the choice Of local officers,
and at next months election the voters
will decide the question whether or not
there shall be a state convention for the
revision of the constitution.
The present constitution of Connecticut
was adopted in 1918. 1t provided that each
town as then constituted (the population
of Connecticut, now 10000, was then 49, :
O00) should have at least one represent
ative in the lower house of the legislature,
and that those towns incorporated before
11S5 should have two. There were then
122 towns In Connecticut. The constitution
provided that any newly established town
should have one representative only, and
under this primitive arrangement the Con-
necticut house of representatives Is now
made up Of 255 members, Of whom 225 are
chosen by rural constituencies. By the last
federal census nearly 100000 of the 800, 900
inhabitants of Connecticut were residents
of towns having 1900 or more population.
The rural minority has control of all legis-
lation and as the disparity grows the in
justice to the large cities increases, and
the demand for a change becomes more
urgent.
If at next months election a majority OF
the voters declare for constitutional con-
vention, the governor is empowered to call
such convention, to which each town In
the state is entitled to a delegate. The
convention would meet on the first We'd
nesday In January, 1902, and the constitu-
tion drafted by the convention would be
submitted for approval or disapproval In
the fall of 1902 Apart from the question
of representation. the present constitution
of Connecticut has been so satisfactory
that the changes made in 1t since it's adop-
tion have been few and unimportant.

Ages of the Presidents.
4 the Sioux City Tribune

Consideration OF the ages Of all the men
who have been Presidents will show that
as a rule they have been young men. At
fty-fve-the average Presidents age
when inahgurated-a man would be consid-
cred in English public life almost a boy
Notwithstanding that Pitt was premier
when about half that age. No man of
seventy has become President. William
Henry Harrison was the oldest. sixty-eIght,
and he lived only few weeks. But Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President at forty three
has been in the minds of his countrymen
for more than decade as a man who
ought one day to be President. His career
from the beginning has been in line with
that idea; 1t has impressed him on the
country, and while he becomes President
now by reason Of the death of his chief,
yet 1t Is probably only anticipating by four
years the event that has been in the mind
of the nation.
Following are the ages at which men have
become President of the United States:
