SOUR MILK DRINKING.

A recent discussion by the British association indicates. according to the Saturday Review. that the present epi- demfc of sour milk drinking is not without dangerous possibilities.
 One doctor declared that sour milk might cause rheumatism. As rheu- matism not infrequently produces heart disease and the latter is a com mon cause of death. 1t is not very long step to the conclusion that the tactic acid product may act like a sort. of chronic and fatal poison to the system.-Exchange
 We suppose this sour milk means the tablet produced butter milk used by those who are bent upon overcom- ing the bad effects of intestinal flora by the use of tactic fluid bacteria as advised by Metchinoff It is quite probable that a butter1nilk diet might affect individuals differently or that an excessive use of "bonny- -clabber" might have deIeterious effects as the excessive use of any good thing might; but this Merchandising is not new in Connecticut and aged men who have fed upon bacterialfzed milk for several years claim to have had their physical strength and mental activ- in the state are reported to have com pletely restored their health by the inhibition of the bacteria which work disaster to man through faithfully practicing Mitchenkoff's method.

WHAT'S THIS7

Are the people of Connecticut being told seriously by Gov. Weeks that Charles A. Goodwin at the age of 25 Is old enough to be governor of the state. or is it a reporters joke? Who in authority has been questioning MT. Goodwin's age or ability? If MT. Goodwin should not win the nomina- ton would 1t be interpreted that the people thought him to be too youthf Il or too incompetent. Candidates are presented for the people to make a seiection-it is simply a matter of preference If the people prefer Good win to Lake he will be the next gov ernor. If they recognize in Mr. Lake the man of their choice he will be it.
 Gov. Weeks must not let his irnagi- nation prompt him to say ill-adviseI things. or take counsel of men who would misdirect him in matters of small account.
 The New Haven Times-Leader Is right when it says: ''It is time that youth can reach where age gropes dimly." but Connecticut has no age limit in respect to the governorship and those who try to prejudice public opinion by saying that Goodwin is too young and Baldwin too old, will dis close to all fair minded men that they are mighty hard up for reasons for their opposition.
 What is the character. the mental equipment, the public record, the ex- act truth about the qualifications of these and other candidates for high official place? Those are the ques- tions worth while. Cut out this cheap talk about too young and too old. AS the campaign proceeds Gov. Weeks appears to be confirming the
  politics. As he has made a pretty good governor 1t is not pleasant to see him making breaks of this kind in the interest of a faction.

Hot Weather Play.

If the small son or daughter is fussy these hot days, the plan one mother has of keeping her daughter amused and cool at the same time may be fol- lowed with good results. She puts a heavy rug or piece of carpet on the large pan of tepid water The little girl is given a bottle or two and a small cup and allowed to play in the water to her hearts content. The nov city of it never wears off and the child will be happy an hour at a time, pour ing the water from one bottle to an other. She has been told to pour the water in, not outside the pan, and knows if she does get wet the penalty is no more water play that day. Some floating toys occasionally give variety for the play.

NEW ENGLAND PAVED THE WAY.

Ten million tons of flax straw are burned every year on the farms of this country. In the prodigal waste of this product of the soil there is a striking analogy between the posi- tion of the western farmer of to- day and his earlier prototype of the south, prior to the invention of Eli Whitney's cotton gin in 1793 Up to that time cotton, now king of the ] worlds textile industry, as a habitat of the southern house garden had lit tie apparent value It took a whole day to separate the seed from one pound of the clean white staple mak- ing it's cultivation for commercial uses an impracticable and an expen- sive business enterprise in which few planters dared to embark So little cotton was raised in the states south of Mason and Dixon's line that the British customs officials. thinking they were being deceived by false in voices, seized the first eight bales of it entering Liverpool in 17S4, on the ground that such a quantity could not have been raised in this country in 9 single year.
 To Whitney, who was a native of New England, the south owes it's present predominence in this field. His invention, aside from helping to
 
 it to develop an industry which to- day produces product of an aggre- gate annual value of S600, 900 900. To another Yankee-Benjamin Cush- ing Mudge-the west is beholden to d discovery which is as important in it's relation to flax as was Whitney's sin to cotton. By it the waste flax straw is being transformed into linen, opening up to the farmers a new ave nue of revenue. which in time, ex- ports predict will prove to them a bonanza commensurate in value to the first fruits of the cotton gin.
 Out of the ten million tons of straw heretofore regarded useless, this into fabric for manufacturing pur- poses in 24 hours, in contrast to the 30 weeks consumed in effecting the change abroad, says he will be able to produce two million tons of flax fibre. The best grades are being used to manufacture linen dress goods and fine table fabrics and the residue towels, mattresses, ste.
 As the south sought means of utilizing cotton to advantages so has the west for years looked forward to a solution of its problem of trans hitting it's flax straw into a commo- dity of value. Now that Nudge has pointed the way by his discovery, many believe it foreshadows the es- tablishment of a new national indus try of commanding importance to American commercial supremacy.

SENATOR BULkELEYS EMISSA
 RES.

The Middletown Penny Press has this to say with reference to republi- can political methods in this state:
 This year with a keen fight among the republicans for the place every caucus where representatives are nominated by the republicans is like iy to be heartily contested. It is said that the emissaries of Senator Bulka- Iey will be prominent in every one of these gatherings and that, if they fail to secure the nomination of men fa- Torable to the candidacy of BulkeIey. sTcrts will be made to elect the men aominated by the democrats, so as to sefeat the Mclean candidates in any event.
 'Tf this scheme is worked often enough it might bring about a condi- tion of affairs dangerous to either republican candidate. as there are cer- tain to be a considerable number of democrats in the next house who will be elected in the regular way by their own party"
 The Press does not appear to realize that here in eastern Connecticut the loyalty to Senator Bulkeley is the same as the loyalty used to be to Sen ators Hawley and Piatt- The need of enissaries here is wholly imaginary since most of the loyal republicans are from choice Bulkeley men. The political agents who are rushing about eastern Connecticut are Mclean men, and, pity 1t is, that these dep1orable tactics of which the Press complains of as peculiar to Bulkeley's emissaI ries are the ones employed by Me Lean political agents. Senator Bulke- ley has no reason to be making any arrangements on the side in this part of Connecticut.

MERIDEN AND ITS MOTOR HOSE
 CARTS.

Meriden has a right to boast If 1t really is the first city in the state to have an auto-hose cart, and if the New York experience is correctly stated no city can afford to be without the new apparatus because 1t means prompter and more efficient service for the least expense.
 Fire Commissioner Waldo of New York has given some striking statit- tics to show why he has decided to add to the department nine pieces of auto apparatus. to replace engines, hose carts and trucks now drawn by horses
 The figures given out by Commits sioner Waldo showed that it costs 24 times as much to maintain team of fire horses as il does one auto hose cart The cost of maintenance last year of the gasoline driven hose cart including expense of repairs. gasoline and oil, was only $50, while tp stable feed and shoe a team of horses cost, approximately, $1,2e0."

Virtues of Fruit.

The juices of fruit are highly val uabIe as a means of cleansing the stomach and alimentary canal Dis ease producing germs cannot grow in them to any extent This is particu larly true of the juice of raw fruits. Cooked fruits, such as baked apples. prune puree and other soft fruit pubs may be used without injury if with out cane sugar, and not eaten with cows milk. Fruit should be taken at regular meal times, not between meals. It combines escecially well with ce- real foods. About the only precaution which need be given in relation to fruits is that they do not form a gooj combination with coarse vegetables. This fact explains many cases of gas tric disturbances. Thoroughly healthy persons do not always need to observe the rule to avoid the use of fruits and vegetables at the same meal, provided all food is thoroughly cheWed, but in valids, and especially persons with di- lated stoTnachs or slow digestion, will be greatly benefited by observing this precaution.
