Washinaton pinIomaoy.

Should Argentina raise her legation to be an embassy, as the South Amer ican republic contemplates doing, that step. in all likelihood, would be the prelude to a series of events which would give a decided hllip to diplomat ic representation at the court of Uncle Sam. Instead of Mexico and Brazil sending the only Latin-AmeEican en- voys of ambassadorial rank, there promises to be a group of this class of official and social persenages. to- gether with corresponding acquisite of magnificent diplomatic homes. Arr gentina's moving reason for desiring to give herself a higher status in Washington is not known. but what ever inlpels her to take the step doubt less will suffcie to bring Chili around to the same way of thinking. More over, the Panama canal is destined to contribute an important chapter to the history of world diplomacy, with Washington as the tribunal.
 The United States does not enjoy the diplomatic prestige abroad that it's rank among the nations bespeaks. This is owing to the survival of a policy some call it spirit-of democratic simplicity that no other republic af- fects, and which is carried out in the niggardly upkeep of our embassies and legations. Whatever advantage may have once attached to thus flying in

WHERE DISCOMFORT TELLS.

The Rutland News does not believe in making things too comfortable for the Vermont legislature, and confesses that it fears increasing the comfort of members tends to proiong the leg islative sessions. Just read the fol- lowing:
 If that proposition before the Yer mont legislature, to expend s25o.one on the state house to provide addi- tional room for the state library and committee rooms for legislators, means that our lawmakers will thereby be made more comfortable and thus pro- long their session, we are unalterably opposed to the expenditure. If, on the other hand, the enlargement of the capitol and the provision of more working room means that the legisla- ture will thereby be enabled to ex- pedite it's business, thus resulting in shortening the sessions of the general assembly. We enthusiastically endorse the measure and urge its inmediat te passage"

GOOD nINERa

The get together spirit is never ret rogressive--it always appears to do more than mark time An organiza- ton of surprising vitality and good stomachs in the Fire Chiefs club of Massachusetts. an organization that has existed for, nearly twenty years and includes the chiefs of tho cities of the state and number of the large towns, has a dinner every month, usually in Boston, followed by dis cussion of various problems of lire ex- tinguishment.
 Connecticut fire chiefs may some day get together twelve times a year to talk over matters vital to them, and tho communities which they guard from destruction by fire
 The topics for the January meet ing in Boston will be: Have motor propelled vehicles. applied to fire ap- paratus, gone beyond the experimental stage, and can the horse be dis pensed with?
 These are timely questions which to all intents and purposes have been settled in the large cities long ago and there appears to be but one sire to them-the ability of communities to meet the cost of the change. It will be quite a while before horses can be dispensed with since they are peeded to pull the motor cars to quarters for repairs when they have lost their pow CT and come to a standstill.

 Another feature of this and other daily notices which must impress it. self upon the reader, is the great num- Der of officers of the civil war who are passing away Five out of the 22 had been officers in that war. and one Of them, Gen.

 The civil war closed 46 years ago. Thousands of soldiers survive, and are likely to survive for years. This war. like many wars, was fought chief ly by boys. The records of the north ern army show that more soldiers en- listed at the age of 19 than at any oth- CT age and that those who were 20 came next. But to be an officer usual ly implied a certain seniority in years, and now those who were of rank are going fast.--New York World.

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
 HAIR.

There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our great-grandmother kept their locks soft, dark and glossy by using a sage tea" Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, they made a brew of sage leaves and applied 1t to their hair with wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-time, tiresome method of gathering the herbs and making the brew. This is done by skillful chemists better than we could do 1t ourselves, and all we have to do is to call for the ready made product. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the proper strength, with the addition of Sulphur. another old-time scalp remedy. This preparation is sold by all frst-ciass druggists for 50c. and sI00 bottle, or Is sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical Company, "A Cortiandt St., New York City, upon receipt oE price.

STATE CONTROL OF REsERvoiRs

There ix movement on loot in Maine to conserve the water power of that state in the interests of the whole people and the favorers of the scheme siiese that 1t is better for the s,ate as we'll as for the users of water power.
 To show that this advanced step is rational. the ease of the Kennebcc river basin is cited by the water storage committee as follows:
 In the earlier days the storage on Moosahead and other Iaker was con irolied by the various log driving as- socfations. To a certain extent lum- bering and water power interests com f1iet on the same stream in regard to ths manner of uee Of stored water. The use of water for log driving be- gins early in the spring and con- rinues well into the summer. For iaeriy little or no care was taken to prevent the waste of water during log driving. with the result that fre- qusntiy by the end of the log driving season, little water would be left stored in Moosehead lake, and eonse- qusrtiy the water power users on the river suffered from scarcity of water m the fall and early winter. In satsr years. however. the log driving and water power interests became more harmonious, and the two asso- cisticns. the Kennebec Log Driving association and the Kennehec Water Power company. worked together. The former controlled the dams at the outlets of the lakes. The latter company spent considerable money to improve the river channel and faciii- lies for driving. thus preventing the needless waste of water in log driving and storing 1t instead to be used in he fan for tho benefit of the power companies. By these Improvements, the driving head. as it is called, the amount of water used in driving logs out of Moosehead lake, was reduced from about $500 sec. it. to about 2,200 sec ft."
 And they say numerous other ex- anlples of unsatisfactory river and reservoir regulations through the state could be given.
 The commissioners say: ''whatev- ar policy the state may adopt for the conservation of it's water resources, let there be no unnecessary hamper ing of water power development, but lot the public on the ground floor at the start, for the public must first. Mrant the power, and for all tire the public will be the party chiefly inter- csted in its use.
 There seems to be no doubt among authorities that if the state should adopt the policy and actually build storage reservoirs. it could charge a rantal on account of the increased pewers to developed water privileges hat would be benefited thereby. It is believed that the state has not yet reAched this stage of development."

The Game of Politics.

MT Editor: I was very much inter ested in reading a report of the state chemist on the water taken from Trading Cove brook.
 After finishing the reading of the same I ask myself if it is not about time for the citizens of Norwich to have an indignation meeting, having enough police there to protect the of- ficials from violence. To me it is inconceivable that the citizens of the town can sit quietly by and see this game of politics played as it is be- ing played at present We are told that the mayor is greater than the city meeting. and some of us begin to think it fact notwithstanding we did not believe it at the time the statement was made
 It is beyond comprehension of most of us how officers elected to protect the interests of the citizens seem to be the very ones to block and delay in every way possible this water ques- tien. Our expert CD city health officer sits quietly by and allows S30.000 of the citizens money to be spent, and after the money is gone, gets busy about looking over the watershed and has the water analysed. If he had been a fit subject to fill the position, would he not have attended to his duties be- fore a dollar was spent on Trading Cove brook? Possibly he may have itttQ IHo1t ltupVfNhEt I1dllSt5 to ttNt up with the mayor, in which case he ought to have been excused.
 After the city has paid extra bo- nuses for having this work done quickly and now see 1t lay idle. it does seem time for the people to find out who is responsible and discover what more there is up the official sleeve. should such treatment of the citizens rights bs imposed upon them In some parts Of our land 1 believe 5 commit tee would soon be authorized to escort fhose responsible to the city line and request them to forever keep out, or the police would no longer protect them. A large manufacturing plant in our city expected to put off an ex- tensiye addition this spring. but now it is to go to another city, all on ae- count of too much politics in Norwich.
 Our town is being injured more than we can estimate by such meth ods. and the sooner We awake to the fact the better for Norwich.

NEW LoNpoNs GOOD FORTUNE.

The choice of a site for the Com necticut Womans college was made Saturday afternoon by thirteen diree- tors from various cities of the state, and fell upon New London. The city wants it and recently voted fifty thou- sand dollars as an inducement, while a yet unannounced millionaire is will ing 70 give a much larger sum for the same purpose. The location em- braces over two hundred acres, half a mile from the center of the city, on high ground commanding most at traetive surroundings. It ought be very popular because in addition to its other agreeable features it gives a comprehensive view of the course over which the Harvard Yale boat races are annuaily rowed.--Boston Tran script.
 The Bulletin congratulates New London upon it's good fortune. It gets this college because it deserves to get it and it is not likely that prettier site could have been found for it in the state. It will not only benefit New London, but the entire county, and Norwich will gain rather than lose by the acquisition. We want all the good people and progressive institutions ir New London county that we can get. and in the broad sense they are ours, This modern institution for the ad- vanced education of young women will tend to be an inspiration to Norwich girls and to all the young women in this part of the state, which will raise the average of intelligence and count well for future generations.

glad 1 did, for 1t has cured me.
 .'I know of SO many cases where wo- men have been cured by Lydia B, Pink hams Vegetable Compound that l can say to every suffering woman if that medicine does not help her, there is nothing that will. ."-Nrs. JANETzKI, 2963 Arch St., Chicago, Ill.
 This is the age of substitution, and women who want cure should insist upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound just as this woman did, and not accept something else on which the druggist can make little more profit.
 Women who are passing through this critical period or who are suffering from any of those distressing ills pe- culiar to their sex should not lose sight of the fact that for thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for fe- male ills. In almost every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound.
