MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
In her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
In later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue

the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

of itself cause his power as mayor to cease and terminate. That would create vacancy that the vice-mayor might fill Without such provision the proposed amendment is practically valueless." In other words, what the city of New Haven needs at present, and at this particular moment, is not ol-de-rol discussion of a deputy may or, but a motion to repeal section 9 of the city charter, which provides for an election within thirty days in ev- ent of the retirement of the mayor, and brings into full operation section ', which provides for the mayoralty sue
 cession off the bat" That Is what
 is needed and that is all that Is needed. But this Is not the only folly MT
 Winchell punctures with sure touch. With delicious satire he asks to look upon the man who Is willing to pose before the community in the robes of office made for the deputy mayor, and look altrulstic. He says: Whether Prospecting gentleman, possessing the high and noble qualities and quail i1cations requisite to one who may as- pire to the mayoralty, would be will ling to sacrifice all his opportunities
 of being a sure-enough mayor or of holding any other office of honor, trust, or profit, under the city govern
 ment, would be ready to lay all of his golden possibilities on cold shelf for two years, for this frigid honor or pre-
 siding over the board of aldermen,
 where he would possess neither the
 right to speak, nor to vote, except in
 case of tie, is question for serious, solemn and self-explorlng considera-
 tion."
 Weare not prepared to believe that the legislative committee on cities and bor- oughs will ever report the proposed amendment of our city charter favor ably, but If 1t does it becomes more than ever necessary that the representatives
 and senators from the city of New Haven make it condition of its pass ago that it shall be referred to the people for their approval before 1t be- comes operative as law. If New Ha-
 ven has really made up it's mind to start a political bargain counter, let us go at the dissipation with due sense of order.

THE DEPUTY MAToR IDEA.

The voters and residents of New Haven are under obligation to J. Rice Winchell for the fearless manner in which he has analysed the proposal to have in the future, for the more secure government of the municipality, deputy mayor elected at the same time we elect a mayor. With a train ed sense of the fitness and unftness of things, he brushes aside the fine philosophy which would protect us against the uncertain future, when fortune takes another fly at the un- |sIpportable just for the fun of it. and heads straight at the weakness and folly of the whole scheme.
 After running his hands through the long hair of the proposition and get ting his fingers we'll clutched on 1t, he reminds it's. creators that the very thing which they claim the proposed amendment of the charter provides for is the very thing it does not provide for. Thus We have for meditative ex- ercise another illustration of the folly of undertaking to fool all of the peo- pie at the same time Says MT. Winchell in the columns of the Jour- nal and Courier: Tn other words, the proposed amendment to the charter contemplates doing something that it doesn't do. It provides for vioe-mayor to fill certain vacancies occurring in the office of mayor, but 1t makes no provision for the occurrence of a va- cancy whenever the mayor is elected to another office during his term as mayor. What it needs to declare is, that whenever a mayor accepts and enters upon any other city office dur ing his term as mayor, such act shall

THE sHnr1r1,s APPOINTMENTS

The distribution of the political plums of county by newly elected and installed Sheriff has a deep significance, which practical politicians are not slow to take in. It is yet to be proved that Sheriff Hugo's appointments, excellent though they are in many instances, if not in all, represent that political and official in- dependence for which the cause of good government calls, and which the election last fall was supposed, at least by the uninitiated, to encourage.
 The voters of this county voted for Philip Hugo because they liked him and because they believed he would give them an independent administra- tion. They did not vote for him with the understanding that, in the distri- button of the offices, he should so recognize candidates from all parties, however worthy themselves as indi- viduals. that color should be given to the suspicion that the many stories told last fall, that an understanding had been reached among the political bosses of both political households, were true. That, however, is the dis agreeable impression made by study ing the distribution of county honors. It looks nightly as if deal had been originally made which required a sec ond one now.
 We would remind those who have thus badly advised Sheriff Hugo that 1t is just such suspected bipartisan deals as this which are encouraging restless notions of government unfair ness and developing ideas of personal independence, which, once organized at the polls, will bring about a revolu- ton, with the battle cry of "a plague upon both your houses. We regret the incident in the political life of the county all the more because of the es- teem in which we have held Sheriff Hugo.

4 HARD IIACE TO CLOSE.

Though Middletown in this State is now principally celebrated for it's clos ed Sunday and it's insane asylum, mo- body pretends to trace any connection between the two. Indeed, 1t is recog- nized that if there is any city in the State where a closed Sunday can be maintained it is Middletown. And some are little surprised that Sun day has been allowed to be at all open there. But when you come to talk about closed Sunday at Atlantic City the difficulty and the improbability of it are promptly conspicuous, Yet it is announced that Atlantic City is here after to be a temperance resort from 11:S0 Saturday night until after mid- night Sunday The fashionable beach cafes must shut off their music half an hour earlier, and policeman is to be stationed at each cafe to see that the law is obeyed. Places that fall to close at the time designated are to be raided.

EFFICIENT PAR4sITAS WANSED.

Connecticut is interested in all the efforts made to head off the gipsy and
 browntail moths So it will be cheer ed by the fact that Dr. L. o. Howard | of the national Department of Agricul- ture has sailed from New York on his
 way to southern Russia to procure a supply of parasites to bring back with him. The gipsy and browntail moths are found in that part of the world, it l is said, and there are several natural enemies, ranging from almost micro scopical size to the size of mosquito, which keep the moths in check. A small invoice of the parasites was ob- tained last year, and experts in Massa- chusetts have been testing their work | in the laboratory in Saugus, with such good results that the State is cooper ating with the government to wipe out
 the moths by this means, if it can be done. It is planned to collect 25oOOO sick moths and the parasites which in- fest them, and ship the supply to this country, where the parasites will be bred and experimented with in the gov ernment laboratories before being turn ed loose in the area where the moths | oro n, Ixt..Ss 4.,a,,tto
 There is, 1t appears, little hitch in the programme, because the parasites desired are themselves afflicted by par
 asites, which will have to be removed before the enemies of the gipsy and browntail moths can be got in proper shape to do their deadly work, But that can doubtless be arranged unless another set of parasites, and so on ad Iinfnitum, are discovered. In that case there will apparently be nothing to do except to let Nature, the moths and the parasites take their course.

THE TROUBLED EXPOSITION.

Will the Jamestown Exposition be a flat and melancholy failure? We hope not, and yet the indications for the success of 1t are not very promising It will not be in order until July, and perhaps not then. It has money trou- bles already. And it doesn't seem to have an encouraging grip on the pub lie mind, though 1t is about as reason able and iustifiable an exposition as We have had. If it does fail the fail- ure will probably have one good effect. That will be to discourage the holding of other exposltions In this country soon. There have been too many of them. Too much money has been lost l in them, and too much money has been
 got out of the government to aid them. | If the Jamestown Exposition does fail no part Of the responsibility for
 the failure can be laid on Connecticut.

4 REASON4BLE POLICY.

i Herr Dernburg, the German colonial director, seems to be the right man in the right place, if his talk shows his quality. He spoke of his plans with a good deal of frankness, the other day, before the Budget committee of the Reich9tag. He had resolved, he said, that his department should be run upon business lines, and that bureaucratic methods should be abolished as far as was possible. He said that in his opin- ion the direction of colonial affairs ought more and more to be diverted from the Wilhelmstrasse to the colon ies themselves. The men on the spot bore the actual responsibility, and the best and most devoted men must be enlisted for the service. With regard to the finances of the colonies, he declared that financial independence in each in- dividual case was the preliminary con- 'dition to general solvency and prosper 1 ity. He means to pay a personal visit to German East and Southwest Africa, and will go through the books with the local accountants in order to see what reforms may be effected. The climate and temperature in tfle tropics render I ed the conditions of work difficult, and personally he did not believe In the ef- ficacy of rules and regulations. Herr Dernburg vii not admit that German colonial officials were habituaIly arbi- trary in their methods. A great deal had already been learned, he said, from i British practice. The absence of ex- perienced substitutes to take the place of responsible officers was source of many evils, and his chief efforts would be directed towards securing greater continuity and uniformity in the ser vice.
 This Is apparently sensible, and much unlike what is generally thought of
 German management If Herr Dern-
 berg carries out his plan it will be
 good for the colonies and for Ger many.

 Makes music out of sight, An sunhsh fight for chances

THE CROP TALK.

The unreasonable and apparently un- weather all around makes much talk about the crops. The peach crop in Connecticut is already pretty we'll done up, there won't be any apples to speak respectfully of in Kansas, and from other parts of the country come similar statements In Chicago, where they make a business of talking about and dealing in crops and crop futures, there is a general belief that the crop of wheat and oats will be short, as compared with that of last year. The estimates of the deficiency run as high in winter wheat as 1OO,0OO,0OO bushels. In addi- ton to this, the extreme cold which has prevailed almost continuously in the northwest part of this country and in Canada has greatly delayed seed ing. The loss of acreage that will re- suit is yet matter of conjecture, but the general belief of the Chicago ex- perts is that it will be considerable.
 We have had so many years of abounding crops that is it not to be wondered at if they are going to fall off some this year. Still, it must be re- membered that the talk at seedtime is often very difficult from the talk at harvest time. The crops often turn out much better than the predictions.

UTE SENSITITI

There is good deal of talk about the 'insincerity" of the Japanese and their lack of a real sense of honor But the Japanese do a good many things which seem to show that they are quite sen sitive about honor and duty. For in- stance, 1t came out the other day that clerk in the Yokohama tax office had embedded and squandered small amount of public money. When his crime was discovered he tried to drown himself Now nearly all the official superiors who should have kept closer watch on the young man and the money have paid fines, filed their resignations or voluntarily applied for places upon the retired list.
 Such action doesn't seem to indicate any lack of true feeling. It wouldn't If 1t were recorded of United States folks similarly situated.
