 Bedding, July 1.-The Ridgewold Inn was filled to its capacity the lat ter part of last week and over the Fourth. Among the transient guests were Joseph Tomlinson of Chicago, author of the Bedding land plan of two years ago, and George l.. Fox, principal of Hopkins Grammar School of New Haven, and father of the Corrupt Practices Act. MT. Fox said that he only recently became aware of the extent to which the last leg islature had drawn the teeth of the Act. In its present form it makes a candidate responsible for the unlaw- full acts performed by his political agent. Such corrupting as he does directly or is done for him by those not designated as his agents put him in no peril. There has also been eliminated the provision for an "Elec- ton Court" which had power to void the election of a candidate upon proof that it had been aided by un- lawful methods. MT. Fox says that he has it from the highest authority that a very large amount of poodle will be injected into the State cam paign this fall by reason of the fierce senatorial struggle between Bulkeley and Mclean.

PARIS, May 29.-The wrecked sub
marine Pluviose is still at the bottom
of the English channel with her crew
of q men undoubtedly dead. On ac-
count of the catastrophe, public opin-
ion in Paris las reached such high
state of indignation that radical
changes in the navy are being de-

France has killed more of her own

has been an outburst of public con-
demnation which reached its climax
last night when 1t was announced that
there was little liklfsood that the

in the navy for raising sunken yes

The divers who first reached the sunk

that the members of the crew were
still alive In spite of that the job of
raising the submarine has been so
bungled that all hope of saving any

NEW YORK, May 30.-Dr. B. G. R.
Williams of Paris, ILL.,, in a paper
published in the last issue of the Med
ical Record, intimates very strongly
that soon the lowly citizens may
throw away his medicine chest, pass
haughtily by the drug store window,
sneer at the prescription clerk and
look for his medicine in the humble
push cart or the corner fruit stand.
DR.. Williams declares that the juice
of the familiar pineapple is about the
one remedy that will cure almost
anything in surgery or medicine.
The physicians paper indicates
that pineapples are good for the fol
lowing troubles: Sore throat, quinsy
tonsilitis, some kinds Of dyspepsia, in
digestion, boils, wounds, sores and
perhaps corns.
All you have to do, the writer says
is to get fresh pineapple and filter
or strain it's juice so that it will be
clear Then if you have anything the
matter with your throat, gargle; il
you have anything the matter with
your digestive organs, drink little o.
the juice; if you have wounds, bathe
with it.
