A young man who had failed by only
three points in an examination for adj
mission to the marine corps, appealed
to his Representative in Congress for
assistance, and together they went to
see the Secretary Of the Navy in the
hope of securing what is known as a
''reratingp of his papers
"How many chances do you want?''
asked Secretary Long. ''This is your
third time.r And before the young
man had chance to answer, the Sec
-retary continued. "How do you ex-
pect to get along in the world when
you smoke so many cigarettes? Your
clothes are saturated with the odor.
Pull off your gloves and let me see
your fingers. There, see how yellow
they arep' pointing to the sides of the
first and second fingers.
Before the young man found his
tongue to offer an explanation, the
Secretary asked him if he drank.
"Only once in awhile,p was the
sheepish reply.
Secretary Long then invited the Con-
gresham into his private Office, and
while Offering to do everything that he
could consistently, added: 81 am sick
of trying to make anything of these
boys that are loaded with cigarette
smoke and drink 'once in while.'
They are about hopeless.''- Washing

Hogs Dying in California.

The dispatches state that fatal dis
ease is epidemic among the hogs of
Northern California and Oregon. Its
nature is a mystery. Nothing has ever
before been experienced likeit Every
thing from charcoal to concentrated
I've has been tried as cure, but with
out success. The hogs are sickening
and dying by the thousands. The sick
ness seems to be of the animals lungs.
The disease is entirely beyond the
control of the hog raisers and handlers,
and it is thought that the State will
take hand investigating the matter
}. A. Hubbard, buyer, declares
that owing TO the disease half the swine
between Portland and San Francisco
have died within the past eight months
Furthermore, he said he was willing to
wager that 5000 porkers that would
otherwise have gone to the butchers
had been victims Of the epidemic in
Shasta county alone since last April.
The disease has reached proportions,
according to this buyer, that are hardly
realized by the hog-raisers themselves.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Sheffield Street Railway.


Editor Of NelcS:
Street railway arguments run wild,
therefore 1 wish to correct a statement
made by one of our citizens in regard to
the street railway which We anticipate
will come through our village. Said
statement is that sit will cost twice as
much to maintain two driveways. one
each side of the track, as 1t will to
maintain our present road"
The travelled road through Main
street will average from twenty five to
thirty feet wide. Tue sslectmen have
been petitioned to grant to the Street
Railway Co. the right to lay their track
in the center of the street. 1t is also
asked by the petitioners that they re-
quire said company to construct q
wagon road, not less than twelve feet
wide, on each side of said track
This would make width of twenty
four feet to be maintained by the town,
which the Street Railway Company
agrees to construct free of charge to the
town. This fact was brought out at
our hearing on Saturday last. 1 would
further state that by laying the track in
the center of the street our street would
be made uniform width. All of the
narrow places would be made wider
and the slough holes each side of the
travelled track, now SO prominent near
the post office, would be graded up.
Mr.. r ID. Gillette stated to me person
ally that all this would be done by the
company at their own expense.
Another great advantage OF having
the track laid in the center of tho street
is that every horseman and cyclist
would soon learn to keep to the right.
thus avoiding collisions. I recall sever
al serious and some almost fatal acci-
dents by bicycles colliding on our
streets A Cycle path could be formed
at the edge of the lawn on either side
and many accidents averted.
A word more In regard to equal
rights and fair play. Would it he
proper and right to place the trolley
road on the lawns ON one side of the
street and deprive those citizens strip
OF grass barely sufficient to stretch
themselves on while their neighbors
across the street, who have already ar-
propriated portion of the highway to
their use, are enjoying the games of the
season with their summer guests? 1t is
an old saying and worthy to repeat that
"fair play is q jewel and that right
wrongs no man"

days. 1t is suggested that every per-
son interested in the teaching of effects
of alcoholism to the pupils in the pub
lie schools of our state write TO the
Committee on Education, Hartford,
Conn requesting an adverse report up
on the bill to repeal the present law.
The fact that the law itself may not
as yet have given entire satisfaction is
no reason why there should not be
systematic mode of instruction for every
pupil in the schools OF our state as to
the harm that alcohol and narcotics do
to their bodies, and the relation which
the health of their bodies has TO .heir

This Plucky Society Still Lives, Al
though on March It's Death Seemed
Inevitable.
The twenty fifth annual meeting of
the Canaan Village Improvement Asso-
citation was held at the Town Hall last
Saturday evening. This meeting had
been adjourned from March at which
time the dissolution of the society
seemed inevitable because so few had
answered the call to meet on March 2
As matter of fact one of the members
OF the society was completely discour-
aged March 2 and he dictated to the
editor of the NEWS an obituary of the
society; but the editor rejoices that it is
not yet necessary to publish that
obituary.
The meeting last Saturday evening
was called to order by A. A. Hubbard.
]. l. Bragg was appointed chairman.
G. W. Parsons was chosen clerk and
read the accompanying report which
was accepted.
Officers for the following year were
elected as follows President, 81. E
