The State Board. of Health reports PA cases of typhoid fever during Sep tember. in 56 towns, with more than a proportional occurrence of the dread disease in Hartford and New Haven. It has been the custom to attribute September outbreaks of typhoid to the return to their homes of summer wis itors to resorts having unsanitary con- ditions. Some uncertain number of this years cases may be attributed to this cause, for summer 'vacatfoners are not generally careful enough Of conditions, though frequently warned, especially with regard to the water supplies. But the protracted. drouth of the present year, which has either ex- hausted, or reduced to a dangerously low figure, the water supplies of coun- try towns as well as cities, is undoubt- edIy responsible for a very consider able number of the typhoid cases. Peo- pie neglect or refuse to take the com paratively easy precaution of boiling the water to be used for drinking pur- poses, and many of them pay the pen atty.

Beneath Your Fat a Graceful Figure DweIls

Heredity, natural tendency, ,inaction, high living, and inability of the sys- tenn to dispose of fatty foods are re- sponsib1e for the pads and rolls of fat which gather on chest, hips, waist. chin, cheeks, and neck, covering 11p and distorting the 1.-the, graceful fig ure beneath. To remove or prevent these unwelcome deposits-control their quantity and location without paying the price of violent exercise dieting, self -edeniaIs or impairment of health; in short, to find ones own slim self beneath the fatty sheath has been made possible by noted physician, whose Marmola Prescrip- tion helped thousands of over-fat men and women to reduce safely and sure ly from 10 to 16 ounces per, day, un- til the natural health of the system is restored and s1imness results.

The death of Senator Deliver of Iowa, removes from the Progressive Republican element of the Senate one of it's most prominent and useful mem bers. Upon the tariff question. he was exceptionally equipped, having served on the Ways and Means committee of the House, and his speeches upon that subject were the most forcible deliv- cred against the A1drich tariff He was, in fact the one who dealt the most damaging blows to the principle of increased protection. His death is a severe loss to the Republican Progress sive movement.

PROTECTED BY TARIFF
CONTROLLED BY TRUSTS.

Heavy advances in the cost of lin- fseed oil and white lead, used in paint ling houses, barns, etc, have checked the Fall custom of bettering the ap- i-pearance and condition of buildings particularly in the country towns, and .iinquiries s to whether the advances in prices should be attributed to the new tariff. have reached this office
 The new tariff levies these duties: fLinseed oil, boiled, 15 cents per gallon Eof 1-2 pounds; white lead, ground or mixed with oil, 2 1-2 cents per pound; paints, dry or mixed or ground with oil, 30 per cent
 About S5 per cent of the linseed oil production of this country is controlled Eby the American Linseed Co., known as t"The Linseed Oil Trust which is tallied with the Shelters Trust (con- ltrollled by the Guggenheims who are, Fan Alaskan matters, allied with J. F. kAdorgan)s and is, according to John Moody, under standard Oil donnina- ltion-" MT. Moody who is an acknowI- tedged authority. states also in his book, ''The Truth About the Trusts. 9 that in 1901. Standard Oil interests which are also identified with the Ma tional Lead Co.,, became the dominant
 
 company Of the National Lead Co.,. known as ''The Lead Trust" which manufactures white lead and Ameri- can and Calcutta Linseed oil, MT Moo ] dy states that in 1902 a plan to con solidate the ''Linseed Oil'' and Lead ETrusts was not successful, but terela- ttions are harmonious" which means Ian absence of competition
 Of course, these tariff duties increase the prices of these commodities to users of them and also check that for jeign competition which would serve to subdue the rapacity of domestic pro- ducers. It is not at all probable that these tariff rates were based upon the difference in cost of production here and abroad, as promised by the Re- publican National platform of 1908 but rather upon the wishes of the pro- ducers, for such was the practice of the tariff makers.
 / The general policy of the Republican party has been to increase the cost of { living, whether in the prices of food products or of necessary commodities, hence, the revision of the tariff up- ward instead of downward. as virtual ly promised in 1908. That party could not have done otherwise, because it

In considering estimates of the rela- tive strength of Bulke1ey and Mclean in the Republican legislative nomina- tions. these facts should be remember ed: That more or less of these nom inees will not be elected, some being in Democratic towns, others in close towns and still others likely to be de- feated because of personal unpopular ity, or for other reasons; that Repub- Iican losses may reasonably bR expect ed because of the strong trend of pub lie sentiment against the party as shown wherever elections have been held; that there is more than a pos sibility of the Bulkeley agents prefer ring the election of Democrats to the success of Mclean candidates, and of the Mclean agents acting upon sim liar view, the objective point of each faction being a 1essening of the others strength in the Republican legislative caucus which will name the party candidate for Senator
 These facts continue to make esti- mates of the relative strength of Bulke1ey and Mclean, based upon nominations, unreliable. Of course, the agents of each candidate put out estimates favorable to his chances, hoping to catch the favor of men whose one purpose is to locate them sseIves on the winning side, with no re- gard whatever for the merits.
 The contest between Bulkeley and Mclean will be decided on Nov. 9th, and not before, unless one or the other withdraws.

MT. Bryan does not approve the Roosevelt t'new nationalisn" if it means a continuous absorption 'of State powers by the Federal govern ment, and an all powerful President to exercise a watchfu1 care and a rigid regulation over all matters affecting the public interest We do not know with exact precision what is meant by Mr. Roosevelt in his ftnew nation alfsm," and are inclined to doubt whether he himself has any definite idea ofa it. Certainly, it cannot be ac- cepted by the people unless reasonable limitations of its scope are fixed. The Ex-President has certain ends in view, and it is not his habit to examine with sufficient care the means for their ac- complishment. Very easily, the rem edy might be made worse than the disease. Most assuredly, the Demo- creatic party cannot consistently ac- eept anything, whatever it's purpose which would deprive the States of powers rightful1y reserved to them by the Federal Constitution.

seilles. living in cheap lodging house.
He dared not enter Paris on account
OF his debts. He wrote to his father
and his friends. begging them to take
him out Of pawn, as it were. but they
failed to respond financially. To re-
lieve the boredom of his position he
decided to dramatize his story. He
wrote the first two acts in three days.
Then remittances arrived, he returned
TO Paris and in Is days he wrote the
three remaining acts of the piece. And
thus Camille. that famous FIVE act
drama. was written in IS days. He
took the play to the Theatre Historique,
long since torn down. but the censor
prohibited its production. Dumas
waited and in 1850 offered it at tho
Theatre du Vaudeville. where only
light comedies were produced.
.sThe manager accepted it politely on
account of the reputation of the au-
thors father. and carelessIy placed it
aside without even reading it. For
two years it accumulated coat oe
dust. Then the Vaudeville through a
series of failures was about to close
its doors. In this emergency a young
actor Of the company called Charles
Fechter. the afterward famous Charles
Feehter. and who had read 'CamiIle,
suggested to the manager that he pro.

Fechter told him there was a death
scene at the end OF the play. refused
point blank. pointing out that there
had never been a death scene on the
stage of the Vaudeville. and that his
audience would not accept such a
thing. But Fechter was eager TO play
the leading part of Armand-and BY
the way it made him-so finally after
much entreaty. it was decided to pro-
duce Camille. The play achieved an
instantaneous triumph. running over
