LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.


Mr.. Editor:-The following facts
noted in the March number OF the
leading Esperanto Journal certainly
make a good showing for an organiza-
ton scarcely four years old.
The first Esperanto society was
founded In Boston in 1905 and in 1908
the Esperanto association of North
America was organized. There are now
six Esperanto journals and over $4,000
Esperantists and over 140 Esperanto
clubs in the United States. and they
are rapidly increasing. It gives a list
of 401 new members who Joined the
society last January. Six OF these are
from New London. Conn. These new
members are quite evenly scattered
over all sections OF the country. With
the southwestern division in the lead
and the New England division second.
The United States government has
officially recognized Esperanto, sending
Major Straub as It's delegate to the last
Esperanto international congress.

How to Save Your Fine China.

A woman whose fine china cups and
saucers were fast disappearing through
the carelessness of her maid in dish
washing, finally won out against the
destruction by an experiment in diplo-
macy.
She had pleaded long and remon-
strated often with the maid to no eff
feet. AT last she came to the conclu-
sion that the girl was careless with
the dishes because she had no real
ization of their value. Acting upon
this impression she bought a very
dainty cup and saucer and gave it
TO the maid to have as her own. The
girl was delighted and handled It with
the utmost care so as not to chip the
edges.
The new thoughtfulness extended to
the care Of her mistress china and
since the dav Of the gift not~a single
dish has been broken in the house.

Bah Everx oar Is ne Zoe Much.

For the average woman a bath every
day is not too much, even though that
woman be somewhat delicate and in
cIined to take cold easily.
- Neither a very cold nor very hot
bath is advisable, however.
The water should be so regulated
that 1t is just comfortable to the body.
The best time to battle is in the aft
ernoon, when one may lie down for
fifteen minutes to a half hour after
ward.
If this interferes with social or
household duties, the next best time
is at night just before retiring.
The surest way to prevent taking
cold directly after a bath is to rub
with a coarse, rough towel, not only
until the whole body is warm but
fairly tingles with the rubbing.

STATE POLICE.

still further opposition to the state
police has developed, and this time it
is in New Haven, where they have
| revealed deviltry that the locals either
did not know of or neglected to up
root. II the state police continue their
vigilance, they will get themselves tre-
mendously disliked.-Bridgepor Post.
The expressions Of dislike are be-
ing freely uttered by those who have
been caught. by those who didn't
want them caught and by the local
police officials whose ineficiency or
Indifference has been exposed by the
catching.
Every man who believes in wide
open rum shops on Sunday is opposed
to the state police.
The state police have not sought to
be popular among law breakers.
They were not given official exist
ence by law breakers and are not de-
pendent upon them for political or
other favors.

graceful revelations as the state po-
lice have made.-New Haven Union.
There is not an observing citizen in
any city Of this state who does not
know that the state police is not only
needed, but that its very existence
adds to the efficiency of local police
everywhere and also restraints the

local force.
The desirable citizen is not opposing
the state police, or local police, or
anything which promotes good order
and contributes to the protection and
well-being Of the community or the
state.

The no-breakfast habit started in
Norwich AND Norwich has no reason
to be ashamed of it. It has carried
the name of Norwich to the antipodes
and even there the wisdom Of 1t is
recognized. The no breakfast cult de-
mands that no one shall go breakfast
less except those who desire to know
its benefits and live according to health
rules. The world divides the masses in
20 two classes, the fools in fashion and
the fools out Of fashion" The no-break-
fasters recognize that they have the
repute Of being the fools out of FASH
ion. Blacksmiths and harness makers
and all classes of mechanics have
been benefited by it. There have been
many blacksliders from tho one is
obliged TO keep it up. Those who do
naturally follow the rules not only
recognize but show the benefits of it,;
and those who do not relapse into the
physical condition they fed from when
they adopted it. Those who know
least about It give most advice and
issue silly and alarming warnings.
