Once when l was very sick
And doctor thought I'd die
And mother couldn't smile at me
But it just turned to cry,
That was the time for promises;
You should have heard them tell
The lots OF good things | could have
If I'd get well.
But when the fever went away,
And began to mend,
And begged to eat the goodies
That Grandma Brown would send,
They said tea was better,
And gave my grapes to Nell,
And laughed and said YOU'RE mighty cross
Since you got we'll"

CHlLDREN'S DAY, JUNE 8

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL OF THE CONGRR-
GATIONAL CHURCH WILL GIVE OVER
THIS DAY TO THE CHILDREN.-FLOW-
ERs, MUSIC AND SUNSHINE.
That was pretty good story which
President Roosevelt told at the great
Presbyterian missionary meeting in
New York City last week, about the
little boy who asked old DIR Adams
when the two were passing up the
aisle of the empty church, "Grandpa,
where is the zeal?'' "The zeal? Why,
what do you mean?'' "Does not the
Bible say" replied the precocious lad,
" The zeal of thy house:hath eaten me
up?" The boy did not care to be de-
voured by some huge monster that
might be suddenly produced from
some strange corner. On Children's
day there are no monstrosities to be
produced; but everything will be
natural and lovely, even to the wealth
err, for even SO bold man as the clerk
of the weather bureau would not dare
diSappoint thousands Of merry hearts
and bright faces. You all know what
Children's day means. 1t means that
the children have the day, and the
grayheads listen. We invite, then, all
our friends to meet with us On that
day in the Congregational church,
Sunday morning, June 8, at II O'Clock.

ton Wrapped Within 1t.
Twill write dull but instructive para
graph. It begins with a list of bad things,
to wit: rheumatism, govt, bronchitis, liver
complaint, kidney complaint, affections of
the skin, asthma, all forms of nervous all
ments, pneumonia, epilepsy, insanity
well, that will do. The question is, what
is the real cause of these ailments? AS the
children say, what ''maakes'' them? The
answer is, Poisons manufactured in the d.
gestive system. Cure the indigestion and
you cure the fruits of it. That is the
truth, and it is common sense also. Fail
to cure the cause and you may doctor
any of its consequences through pain
cursed lifetime, always in vain. ALI con-
tagious or infectious diseases select their
victims from people weakened by bad
digestion, or by insufficient nutrition.
If you don't believe me ask the plague
and cholera experts. At present the lead.
ing medicine for indigestion, chronic dys-
pepsia, sluggish liver, incompetent kid
neys and slow cell transportation is Calcura
Solvent, discovery from the medical
workshop of DR.. David Kennedy, of Kings
ton, N. Y. 1t is tremendous fighter of
disease, and usually conquers. It is one Of
the aeao things that make men wonder.

The Proposed Those who
Constitution As A argue in ia
Business Proposition. vor Of the
proposed constitution upon which the
people are to vote upon June 16, have
very little to say about it from a prac-
tieal business standpoint. For in the
matter of dollars and cents the new
plan Of representation will be an ex-
pensive affair. .}
Under the old constitution the salaries
of the members OF the General AS
sembly amounted to about $75, 900 and
travelling expenses. If this proposed
constitution prevails the cost to the
state of the General Assembly once in
two years will be in salaries about
$3.50, OOOI and $1,000 or so more for ex-
ira travelling expenses. Now if there
was to be a better lot OF men sent to
the legislature than in the past or If
there was any likelihood of our getting
better legislation the money might be
well spent. But where is the man who
Is bold enough to say that.South Wind
sor w1ll send two better men to the
Legislature than the town of Washing
ton would have done If she could send
two. No sensible farmer would dis
charge man who was doing good work
on his farm for twenty-five dollars a
month aid hire another man who was
no better and pay him forty dollars a
month, and yet this is what the men
who propose this new constitution are
asking the voters of the state to do at
the election on June 16. As a business
proposition it is good thing to vote
mo upon by e very. taxpayer. All the
farmers OF this state know we'll that
the taxes are bad enough as they are.
To add towards a hundred thousand
dollars to the burden and to get nc
better laws or lawmakers would be
the last straw to break the canel's
back. 1t does not take very much of
q mathematician to figure out that
the new constitution if it gets by the
people will cost the state of Connecti'
,cut about million dollars extra once
in twenty years. That may be smart
politics but it is mighty poor states
manship. The state is groaning nov
under it's burdens Of lawyer commits
sions and fat jobs at the State house
This proposed constitution will tax
one representative away from Goshen
Cornwall, Harwinton, Redding, VAST
ington, Sharon and Woodbury., and S
take some money right out of thes
towns besides the taxes. 1t is{a goo
proposition for a taxpayer to get a

the gas and the ashes. The scientific
explanation of the eruption is that in
some way the water on the mountain
filtered down into the subterranean
fires and the mountain literally blew
it's head off, with a great shower of
cinders and mud falling upon the city.

The Coal The strike Of the coal
Miners Strike. miners leads one nat
ually to ask what are their demands
and what are the grievances at the
present time. 1t appears that they
desire shorter hours of work as they
work 10 or u hours day and an in
crease of wages. Most of the daily
papers take the ground that the de-
mands are reasonable. The miners
get only about $3.50 dollars year in
wages and the coal barons could have
given all the men asked by only a
slight advance of the price of coal to
the consumer. There are about 49,
600 men concerned in the coal strike
and If it is continued it means idleness
for many shops all over the country.
The Government Labor Department
has figured out that strikes have cost
the country s4OO, 900, 900 in the last 20
years. Two thirds of this was lost by
the laborers.
The Meat In view of the very high
Tariff. price Of meat there is a
call to Congress for reduction of the
tariff on meat so that the people may
get their meat from Canada or Mexico
if the beef packers of this country do
not come down on the price. The pro-
tective duties on meat at present are
SO high that they practically bar out
all foreign beef from our markets.
But if this duty is repealed we can get
sailed and canned goods from other
countries. While we are all waiting
for the wheels of legislation to 60
around it would not be bad idea for
every New England farmer to raise a
few extra calves himself and so get the
laugh on both beef trust and meat
tariff by having good beef barrel OF
his own. If you raise and put down
your own meat you will surely know
what you are eating.
