Namina a State,

There are some restless spirits in the southern part of California who want new state made of that sec tion, but they do not appear to have been taken at all seriously as yet. At the same time there are other restless and presumably ambitious citizens in the northern part of California and the southern part of Oregon who want a new state created from contiguous portions of those two states. New states would, of course, give a chance for more governors, senators, and the like, together with a goodly number of minor state officers. But it Is a slow and difficult process to carve out new states from old ones under ordi- nary circumstances. West Virginia, of course, being altogether exceptional and a product of the civil war. The proposition for anew state carved out of California and Oregon must have the approval of both those states and of congress and naturally the outlook is not very promising at best. but such chance as there might be appears to have been thrown away by the gen. tlemen who are promoting the scheme by the name which they have adopted in advance for their new member of the union.

A Life-savina Law.

Striking evidence of the efficiency and importance of the safety appli- ance law enacted by congress is af- forded in the annual report of the interstate commerce commission, pub- lished this week. The figures tell the story more succinctly and at the same time more conclusively than could be done in any other way.
 In 1903, before there was any legal compulsion in the matter. one man out Of every 349 engaged in coupling and uncoupling cars, was killed; in 1908, under the enforcement of the law, after many delays, only one man was killed out of 9S3. In other words, the fatalities from this cause were re- duced to one-third of their former volume. In injuries the rate was man in 13 in 1903. and 1 man in 62 in 1908 the casualties under the law being lit- tie more than one-fifth of those be- fore it was enforced. This statistical showing of two out of three lives saved, and four out of five injuries avoided. is a striking vindication of the wisdom of the law and the bene- fit of it's forcement.-Pittsburg Post

BAD MANAGEMENT.
Growth of Building and Loan Assoeia-
 tions in the State Held Back.

W. H. Corbin of New Britain. the state building and loan commissioner, has submitted his report to Gov. Frank B. Weeks for the year ended September 30, 1909. The number of building and loan associations in the state is Il, one less than in 1908, an association in Stamford having gone out of business.
 The report shows that the year has been a prosperous one as the net as- sets of the associations show an in- crease of $197,693.09, the largest in- crease having been made by the Mer- iden Permanent Building and Loan association, whose assets increased $93, ,136.34. The commissioner finds that the associations are managed in an economical manner, as the total cost of operating expenses was $S,- 576.35, or 4-10 of 1 per cent. of the total assets. The real estate loans increased $1S4.910.47 and the societies amount held in anticipating maturing shares and not through lessened de- mand for loans.
 The commissioner finds that the growth of these associations has been retarded through distrust occasioned by the bad management of several so- called national associations whose promises of large profits were not realized. These are not now doing business in the state and the good showing of the state associations is expected to restore the confidence of the public. The dividends paid by the associations average per cent, and a threatened reduction in the rate of interest paid by savings banks should encourage investment in these organ izations. Commissioner Corbin says that an increased membership may be looked for now that business condi- tions are better and he expects that the interest already shown will re- suit in applications for charters by fI1ro

Familiar Features We'll Known To
 Hundreds of Norwich Citizens.


 A familiar burden in every home,
 The burden of a ''bad back"
 A lame, a weak or an aching back
 Tells you of kidney ills.
 Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
 Here is Norwich testimony to prove it:
 Eugene Sweet, Sunnyside Avenue, Norwich, Conn.,, says: Tt was at least twelve years ago that I first learned of the value of Deans Kidney Pills. At that time I was in great need of a kidney remedy. For eight weeks I was confined to my bed on account of lumbago and was almost helpless, having to be turned over and being unable to move at all without assistance. My suffering was about all any person could endure. Sharp pains across my loins and kidneys caused misery of the worst kind. In addition to this I was annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secre- tions. I consulted three of the best physicians in Providence, R. l., but they failed to make the slightest inn provement. It was finally my good fortune to read of Doan's Kidney Pills and I was so much impressed with what was said in their favor that l began their use. Their beneficial ef- feet was soon noticeable and I con- tinued to improve so rapidly that I was soon able to resume work. I give the entire credit of my recovery to Doan's Kidney Pills, and never intend to be without a supply in the house. More than one sufferer from kidney complaint and rheumatism has thanked me for telling him about the efficiency of Doan's Kidney Pills"

BETTER HARTFORD DIVIDENDS. Fire Companies Expect to Mend Loss
 es Sustained at San Francisco.

It is expected that the dividends to be declared by the Hartford fire insurance companies at the end of this year will go a long way towards repaying the stockholders for the sac rifices entailed in the. San Francisco fire. At that time the prices for fire insurance stocks dropped heavily. In some cases dividends were omitted. and in others additional capital was called in, either to increase the cap ital stock or in reducin9 1t and sub sequently issuing new stock.
 One company has already issued s1,000,00 of new stock at 200 and has announced that its dividends of Is per cent will be continued after the new capital comes in. This is worth more or less of s30 a share in the value of rights. Another has already increased it's dividend rate to IA per cent, and no further increase is ex- pected.
 It is rumored, however, that three others will declare increased divi- dends January 1.
