 The mixing up of Japanese home

 Trolley roads leading to the smaller communities in Connecticut Will continue to be an idle dream for some time to come. Too many ideas from a legislative standpoint for the small towns to ever enjoy what they are entitled to. If the roads of the state are to be given up to trolley companies why not give the towns the privilege of saying whether or not they want such transportation facilities as the trolley affords. This would be home rule in simple form and the ultimate good would be noticeable throug ughout the state.- Middletown Press. ... . r
 Wesleyan's application to the leg lslatlVe committee on corporations, to change her charter so that the university may no longer be entirely sectarian, will be applauded by her alumni. She has been non-sectarian in spirit for long time, and just now the fact that certain propor- tion of her trustees, the president and a certain proportion of her pro- fessors are required by charter to be Methodists prevents her from en- toying a part of the Carnegie foun- dation fund and is liable to hamper | her seriously in other ways, notably | along educational lines.-Ansonia | Sentinel.

With the near approach of The Hague peace conference. there seems but one thing definitely settled, and that is that there will be no action on the proposal to limit ornaments. Of course the powers have to be polite and seem peaceful, but limita- tion of ornaments is not a popular subject with them just now, though it is not one they can openly flout. It may confidently expected that they will avoid it with great finesse.

An improved method of handling passengers luggage at large stations is being tried by the Pennsylvania railroad in Philadelphia. Baggage and mail trucks that are practically miniature automobiles have been adopted. A storage battery and electric motor are mounted beneath the platform. The attendant has meerly to steer, the whole work of propulsion being performed by the electric motor. If the use of these trucks continues as successful as re- ported, they will, it is said, replace the old hand-propelled trucks at the larger stations on the system.

President sett,ng Hi. House h orae,

OYSTER BAY, N. r., June 14.- President Roosevelt spent the first day of his vacation without indulging in any of his favorite occupations for rec, reation and exercise. He did not go for his customary horseback ride; he did not exercise with the ax at the Sagamore Hill woodpile; he did not take row in Oyster bay. Aside from the three hours he was occupied with Secretary Loeb in the dispatch of ofii- cial business he spent the whole day in unpaeking, arranging and settling the household belongings which were brought from the White House.

Sore Throat one of the most inn

The throat is the gateway TO the body.
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the
liquids we drink. all pass through it. 1t is
very easily affected by cold, strain, ex-
posure, etc, and Sore Throat is therefore
one of our most common ailments.
Strangely enough. it is also one of the most

Sore Throat is very serious matter. for
the whole system is in danger in conse-

Every Sore Throat patient is n candidate

positively be prevented by the timely cure of
