groundworks Of white. Use them on
the floor and paint the woodwork

hung from white rods and dress the

scription. Make the cushions of dem

the walls. Dark prints with gray
backgrounds and wooden frames would
be neat. Provide a dresser that has a
large glass, or a table with a very
large mirror hung over it. If you like
dFapery, you can put a. couch bed in
the room and drape il with lavender
cotton crepe. The drapery can also
be used for making a portiere. Do
not crowd the room. Remember
Christmas cards. shells, souvenirs and
all such trash no longer find a place

THE SURGICAL IMPROVEMENT

This Is bold and daring ace In
which scientific eyes look upon the
noblest work of God as a botch which
can be improved by the free use Of
the surgeons knife, It has long been
claimed that man may be morally Inn
proved by the use OF the knife and now
1t is alleged by DIR. Distaro that every
child should have the large intestine
and the appendix removed when it is
two or three years old asa means
Of prolonging life century or more.
The atrophied organs and flaws sci
ence has found In man number over
one hundred Ellie Metchinkoff was at
first thought to be an extremist when
he claimed that by the use Of butter
milk as a food the average Of mans
life might be doubled. but today he In
being taken seriously by "A inereas-
ing number of people who claim to
have renewed their youth by faithful
trial Of his dietary teachings Metch-
nixon believed the colon to be life
shortening organ and believed man
would be better off without it. and as
q surgeon DR. Distaro has removed 1t
from one or two invalids and with the
result of making them again well and
vigorous. Distaro condemns eggs as
IA food and proclaims them to be "a
dangerous poison because they are in
digestible and decay within the body
just as they do outside" This does
not seem rational in view Of the guam
titles OF eggs used and the absence Of
serious results.
The theory that mans power OF im-
proyement through more intelligent
attention to diet than by the appli-
cation OF the surgeons knife is likely
to be most acceptable to the people;
and the belief that man by right liv-
ing. high thinking, and proper exer-
else can greatly improve his estate and
condition and prolong his days is be-
ing so generally shown to be practical
that the cult is rapidly growing and
what has been the butt and sport of
this generation il really likely to be-
come the practice and evidence of
wisdom in coming generation.
As Metchinkoff asks Why shouldn't
man live to be 40 years old?

OUR PARKS.

Norwich is so much Of park city
that 1t really needs no chain Of parks
to refresh the people-no encircling
boulevard for attractive drives; and
yet it has half dozen or more pub
lie breathing spots or resorts which
are owned by the people~and should
be appreciated by them.
People who cannot get out Of town
can, after the fashion of Walt Whit
man, loaf and invite their soul" in
the public parks. Mohegan park, with
it's lake and quiet retreats and shady
bowers, is now an inviting place, and
those residents of Norwich who do
not know what it is have now an OPP
portunity TO enjoy it's quiet and in
yiting beauty. 1t is the time of year
to get out for reflection and for
health's sake. Do not always hustle
and be satisfied to look at clear sky
overhead. Go to the woods and look
at a bit of blue through the branches
OF the trees, lie and listen to the song
birds in the trees, note the flowers
and the insects in joyous flight, watch
the scudding clouds and the shadows
on the water or the deeper shadows
of the woods, get away from business
once in while and the rush and dust
of busy streets and the horn, the dust
and the odor of gasoline from the
speeding automobiles. Seek rest and
forgetfulness of cares and anxieties in
the quiet Garden of God-seek pleas
ure there which is in reality seeking
health. It never hurts one to get near
to the heart of nature, to feel the
magic influence Of this wonderful and
mysterious world. Go where old grudg-
es can be forgotten and new inspira-
ton be obtained. That's what does
any one good.

no soul" whether this be true or not,
some of them appear to be ungrateful
to say the least For instance the
Cotton Manufacturers association OF
Fall River are making or trying 70
make a protest against the proposed
corporation tax, seemingly not willing
to "divvy'' with the government. But
when Senator Aldrich was hoisting the
rates on cotton goods from 27 TO 121
Der cent. above the. Dingley rates, not
withstanding the protests of such men
as Dolliver LaFollette, Beveridge and
other progressive" republicans, not
one solitary objection did the Fail
River Cotton Manufacturers associa-
ton make. They appeared to be as
dumb as an oyster: One OF the nam
objections is that It taxes them as a
corporation and allows the individual
to go free. AS though 1t would make
any difference to the consumer whether
he paid the exorbitant price 10 a cor
poration or an individual, This meth
cd appears similar to the Moorish sys-
tenn OF tariff. mostly for revenue. The
government must have revenue. It has
got to have IT, Without II, it must
cut out all its expenses. And i Is
revenue the corporations want, tool 1t
does seem little strange that the COR
porations should be SO ungrateful to It's
best friend, the government. But then
everybody knows CD IL 1t were not for
the corporations the poor NEEDY wage
Garner" would be "out of a job, out Of
work, out OF an opportunity to earn
bread for his family" BY this logic
there are two indispensable factors.
One is revenue for the government and
corporations for the wage earners. Both
are absolutely Indispensable (?) What
does il matter to the corporations If
the wage Garner, the bread winner, the
consumer pays all the wages he gets
for the article he produces by his Ia
Dor; does not the corporations give
him the opportunity to do this? The
wage Garner then should not be so
ungrateful as to complain that he pays
so much for his food and clothing,
should he? The Providence Bulletin
in an editorial says: 'That logic is one
thing and legislation quite another,

PICKLES.

Pickles should be kept in glass bot
ties or earthen jars, and be closely
corked. They must be kept in dry
place. IT is important that pickles
should be covered at least two inches
above the surface with pure cider
vinegar. All vinegar left after maxi
ing pickles can be spiced and bottled
to put in sauces. Remember boiled
vinegar decreases In strength. Alum
win harden homemade pickles. A
small lump Of alum and a root Of
horseradish are often put among them.
In making small pickles, select -cucum-
bers of uniform sizes. Any fruit can
be picked Plums and cherries are
nice when made into pickles II cher
ries are chosen, they should be Arm,
whole and the sour variety. Few re-
move the stems. They should not be
overripe when used. Put them into a
jar and cover with cold vinegar. Then
pour Off two-thirds the vinegar,
sweeten and add bag Of spices. Add
more fresh vinegar to- the cherries.
After draining ON the vinegsz boil il
and make q syrup to pour over the

WHEN CAMPING.

1t Is better to have several small
sleeping tents than one large one.
Where cots are used for sleeping,
a 7x9 tent Is large enough for two
persons.
Select a place to pitch the tent which
is level and well drained when you
start to occupy.
A brown WATERPROOF cloth spread on
the floor will make the quarters more
comfortable.
The camper should use folding
chairs. folding tables and cooking
utensils that will go inside one an
other.
The cheapest and best camp stove
Is a kerosene yapof burning one which
comes in various burners.
Kerosene can be found in any place
and Is a clean and inexpensive substi-
tute for wood.
Specially made tins and bags should
be taken to protect the food from
dampness and insects.
Folding bathtubs are indispensable
where river or lake Is far distant
from the camp.

THE OLDEST MILiTIAMAN.

8. z. Beach OF Chanute, Kan, for 46
years Lieutenant of the state militia,
is the Oldest commissioned officer OF
militia in the country. He has served
without pay since November, 1868, and
now his right to resign has been de-
MED him. He asked Governor Stubs
not long ago to send an officer to Cha
mute to muster him out of the service
and this is the reply he received:
Il have examined the documents and
correspondence pertaining to the ar
my record of S. e. Beach, of the Kan
sas volunteer militia, who was mus
tered into service of the state on No
vember 4, 1868, and / have noted that
Lieutenant Beach suggests that his
forty-six years of service entities him
now to his discharge. and that for
some reason or other he had not re-
ceived his discharge from the state
militia at the-close of the civil war.
After learning OF the high charac-
ter and the splendid service of Lieu
tenant Beach for his state and country,
and being appraised of his patriotism
and zeal have concluded that, for the
defense OF this commonwealth, Lieu
tenant Beach, like the good soldier he
liz and always was, should abide his
time until the Grand Mastering ON
Ger calls him to a higher and better
service, for as long as he remains on
this terrestrial sphere he can attain
to no higher honors than to remain
in the service of the state of Kansas.
With best wishes,
wv. n. STuBBS, Governor
The ornate citizenship which costs
nothing is certainly too precious to be
spared; and militiamen everywhere
will note that faithfulness. courage.
generosity and patriotism are a COM
bination which the state will ever de-
cline to turn down and delight in hon
oring and exhibiting to all generations
of men.

Many birds OF many kinds.
Many fishes in the sea,
I. Many men that disagree"
The above seems to fit the situation
just now on the tariff discussion. Why
did the president recommend the cor
poration tax amendment to the senate
tariff bill? Can someone throw some
light on the subject? 1t looks like a
new departure in tariff legislation.
Tariff, from ''Tarifa," means revenue.
'Tarifa" Is the name of fortress on
promontory running out into the
Straits of Gibraltar at the southern
point of Spain, and is of Moorish ori-
gin. The Moors, a sort OF pirates, oc-
cupied this fortress and collected reve-
nue. from the ships passing through the
straits, out Of and into the Mediterra-
mean sea, on the merchandise with
which they were loaded. This was
revenue for the pirates By this 1t
would seem that tariff as then used
meant for revenue only" The name
of protective tariff Is somewhat
more modern. It is not possible to
have q protective reeenue tariff" 1t
would appear that the Moors collected
their tarin for revenue only"
Protection was all on one side, on
the side of those who owned the mer-
chandise They needed to be protect
ed against the ravages OF the pirates,
for il they could not get the revenue
they took the goods. Reading the
heated discussions In the senate would
lead one to believe that the Aldrich
bill is similar. The corporation tax
amendment to the tariff bill Is a new
feature. The proposition seems to be
that after the tariff has been placed
on the goods, similar to the goods
made here, by the corporations, which
enables the corporations to get a
higher price for their goods, this
amendment proposes 10 take from the
corporations certain per cent. OF the
profit, or the extra profit made owing
to the higher tariff on the foreign
made goods. With a tariff so high
that il prohibits the bringing in OF
the foreign made goods, there is Moth
ing to hinder the corporations from
putting the price OF their own made
goods up TO within fraction of the
actual cost plus the tariff rate. 1t
would seem as though the corporations
thus favored ought not to complain
when congress says to them: We have
been good to you and made 1t possible
for you to get higher price for your
goods and incidentally pay higher
wages to your employees (when you
are compelled to by the employees them
sslves), you ought not to kick If we
ask you to divide part of the extra
profit with the government, for the
government must have revenue rom
some source.
