Comment. ON Rhub.rb.

Rhubarb is one of the first plants of
the garden to come into use in the
spring, and the stalks make an excel
lent sauce at time when apples of
the year have become scarce and out
of season. 1t Is very easily propa-
gated, and only few plants are re-
quired to furnish supply for fam
lily. A piece of root separated from an
existing plant Is quite sure to grow
where planted, either in the fall or
spring, and this is the best plan for
multiplying the number of plants
Early growth may be forced in a
greenhouse or cellar, but a less trou-
blesome way is 10 surround each plant
with fermenting stable manure. a part
of which may be raked on when the
ground grows warm and part remain

VEGETABLE PARASITES.
Eastern Market Gardener TENS How
he Carried On = successful
War Against Them.

OF late have been using nitrate
Of soda solution to considerable extent,
and In every case the results have
been far beyond my expectations. We
planted patch of Hubbard squashes
near the early tomato ground, and as
the soil was good and the hills were
fortified we we're expecting good
things from them. The next news
received was that they were UP and
growing finely. but in a few days the
men reported that the bugs had de-
stroyed them all. I packed my kit Of
soda solution, sulphur, tobacco dust
and weeder. and went over to view the
ruin. They were sorry looking lot, in
deed, with cucumber beetles and stink
bugs pooled to see which could work
fastest. killed all the stinkbugs
could find. and what beetles could
catch. Then with my table-fork weed
er l carefully stirred the soil around
the plants, pinched of the ruined
leaves, and we dosed them with the
soda solution. Next I sprinkled the
ground around the plants quite liber-
ally with sulphur and then gave them
plenty Of tobacco dust. The growth
has been astonishing. / find that the
tobacco dust goes into the ground
quite rapidly. which is all right, but
the sulphur for the most part at least
stays on the surface. Both seem dis
tasteful to the beetles, and the two
seem to work nicely together. with re-
suit that the beetles disappear. and

ment worked well with the early cu-

my right to any portion Of the pro-
ceeds. but of late they seem to view
things in another light, and have
vacated the premises. consider rapid
and vigorous growth one of the surest
preventives against their ravages. The
nitrate of soda gives this, and as
think, is a valuable aid in keeping
them in check. Its use on beans has
always brought the best of results

x.tion.l Ala for Roads.

The Washington Post in a leading
editorial condemns both national and
state aid as paternalistic. 1t says that
"the duty of road building attaches
solely to the communities immediate
ly concerned" This Is narrow view.
The same view applied to education
would make the local communities pay
all the expenses Of the schools; yet
state aid to education is the rule. not
the exception. II the Posts conten-
ton is right, the local community
should be required to establish its own
post ONCE, and hire Its postmaster and
mail carriers. In fact nearly every
thing the state and national govern
ments are doing for the people would
be condemned as paternalism viewed
from the same standpoint.

BRICK TRACK ROADS.
Dureau of Public Road Inquiry Claims
Important Advantages for
That system.

The director of the bureau of public
road inquiry under the department of
agriculture, after an exhaustive stud!
of the subject, has come out strongly
in favor of the brick track" road. 1t
is estimated that the roads cost the
people OF this country about $3.50. 000. 900
annually, a good part of which is sunk
in mud roads with very poor results.
The advantages claimed for the brick
track road are as follows: 1t can be
built far more cheaply than a stone
road; four or five times as heavy load
can be hauled on It with the same team
force; they can be maintained for about
one-tenth of the expense for repairs;
they prevent the formation of ruts, dust
and mud, which result from the grind
ing OF wagon wheels on stone roads. and
Of mud holes and dust. which occur on
country roads: the material for their
construction is also much more easily
accessible in most parts of the country
than that for stone roads. The require
ments for a first-class highway are as
follows: A smooth, non-wearing sur
face for wheels; firm, non-slipping
footing for horses; low cost for building
and repairs: and absence of dust. mud
and noise. II will be seen that the brick
track road comes nearer fulfilling these
requirements than anything yet in
vented.

= b. Generally Taken.
Hence. Pepsin. Pancrsatin and . Host

These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat

Tx. u. s. Senator M. C. Butler from
Il South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, ID. c., says:
al can recommend Peruna for dys.
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for short
period and I feel very much relieved.
II II indeed q wonderful medicine be.
sides good tonic. "---M. C. Butler
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
sia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. Itcures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in q natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com.
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. Ifcatarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures 1t. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures It. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures 1t, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna Is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

TOWN TOPICS.
ABEL BEERS BLACKMAN,
A NATIVE OF BETHLEHEM.

Abel Beers Blackman, an aged and much respected resident of Bethel, died at his home on Blackman avenue in Bethel, Saturday morning at 6 o'clock. Two brothers, Bennett Black man, aged 95 years, and Clark Black man, aged 83, reside in NewtoWn. MT Blacknlan was one of the oldest people of Bethel, and had he lived until the 9th of March, he would have been 95 years of age There are only two Oth- CTS in town as old or older than he was. Up to short time ago MT Blackman was wonderfully smart for man of his years. Although as general thing he did not get far away from his home, he was interested in all affairs, the he was taken with an attack of lum- bago and obliged to take to his bed: From that time he continued to fail until the end came Saturday morning. Abel B. Blackman was native or Bethlehem, Conn.,, and was comb maker by trade. In later years he did some work in the hat shop, but had not been able to work any for several years past. He had lived at the same place where he died for more than 90 years. The deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His wife died about four years ago, and he is survived by three daughters, Mrs Ed win Short, Mrs George R. Osborne and Miss Mary F. Blackman, and one son, George Blackman. The funeral was held at the house Monday afternoon at o'clock, Rev George w. Griffith offici- ating.

SOCIAL TOPICS, NO. 2.


The importance of social science was never more urgent than now, in these United States of America. The perils of our social life are numerous and serious; and the causes of the evils and dangers which beset us are for most part evident. Such con glOmera tiOn of habitantS never eX- iSted before. Such prOmiscuOuS re- latiOns of races, nations, classes and conditions were never known in the history of man.
 The last census exhibits populat tion of 76, 3o3, ,387, including tie inhab- ritory and Indian Reservations. Of this number 65, S43 1902 are native born: and 10, 460,O8 foreign born. In other terms, 86.3 per cent were born where they were June l, 1900; and 13.7 per cent were born in other lands, and under diverse conditions.
 But that is only part of the story. "Of the 26, 199 939 persons of foreign parentage, in 1900, 19, ,734,OO1, or 75.3 per cent, are of foreign extraction, that is, have both parents of the same nationality; while 1,34O,678, or 5.1 per cent are of mixed foreign parentage, and 5, 124, 26O, or 1916 per cent, are part ly of foreign and partly of native par entage."
 Nearly every race and country on the face of the earth is represented in this great American republic. All sorts and conditions of men stand for all kinds of religion; all forms of gov- ernment; all theories and degrees of educa tion: all kinds of social inStitu. tiOns; and the greatest diversity of traditions, customs and usages. Let us reflect what it must mean for such d mixed mass of humanity to live to- gether under government of theil own making and on terms of the greatest political freedom and equality possible!
 It is easy to understand that under such circumstances the questions o1 social relations must be of the most vital importance. Indeed, it is evi dent that good society, in the largest best sense of the term, is the all-em bracing, all-absorbing subject in this new world. All the great questions o1 the day in the evolution of our demo cratic institutions are, in the nature of the case, problems of social science We are out on the picket line of tht worlds progress. We are experiment with the most potent and most dan gerous forces of human life. Wha1 the result may be in the long run con cerns the future of the whole world.
 The progress and permanence O. good society means not Onl. the attainment of the highes civilization, but it is in fac the coming of the eternal kingdom O heaven among men. All the grea moral questions of the age in whicl we are living, whether national, in ternational, or of local importance are problems involving the applica tion of the fundamental principles o the Gospel to the various interests o the social life. How shall we live to gether in safety, equity. and mutua good will? How shall we be governed and who shall be cur public servants

SHALL WE HAVE A FREE PUBLIC
 LIBRARY?
QUESTION WHICH STRONGLY APPEALS TO THE PUBLIC SPIRIT OF OUR CITI- ZENS.


 TO THE PUBLIC SPIRIT OF OUR CITI-
 ZENs.
 [RRPRINTED FROM THE BEE OF JANUARY 23].
 The committee appointed at the an- nual meeting of the NewtOwn Library Association held a meeting on Monday evening of this week and discussed at length the law of the state relating to Free Public Libraries and the steps which it would be necessary to take in order to make the law effective in our town. They considered the practica- bilty of establishing distributing sta tions in the different centerS of pOpula- tion, and the use which might be made Of our valuable library in the work of the High school. They also looked carefully into the matter of the ex- pense to the town and how it would affect the individual taxpayer, as we'll as the help which would be granted by mittee are of one mind as to the need and benefit of this movement in giving free books to all our people, old and young. But before making report to the Library Association, they wish to find the sentiment of the people on this measure, to get all the suggestions and criticisms which may be offered. In fact, as this is a public measure, they wish to have the public say how they feel about it and get their advice. A public meeting will, therefore, be held in the Library on Saturday even- ing, January 31, at 7.30 o'clock and it is hoped that all who are interested will be present.
