A POOR PLACE FOR ECONOMY.

The Bridgeport Standard, comment ing on fhe biennial report of the trus- tees of the Norwich hospital, says:
 Here is the situation that must be faced and met by some adequate pro- vision, and which should be thus faced and met before money is ex- pended in large sums upon matters of state improvement which can wait much better than this can. Connecti- cut has a duty to perform which she cannot avoid and she should maintain her reputation for the doing of such work and not allow it to take back ward trend. nor wive up what is proper and necessary progress
 The trustees report is followed by that of the able and active superin- tendent, Dr. Henry M. Pollock, who gives in detail the facts and figures of the situation. and of the manage ment of this important institution. It is carefully and prudently conducted and there is every reason why the srate should amply second the good work of it's managers
 All of this is true. The manage ment of such big institution in the formative period, occupied to it's limit as it proceeds in construction, and kept at wonderfully reasonable per capita charges, evidences a master spirit in charge There should be nothing done to retard the speedy completion of state institution which is so well ma naged in its present handicapped form and which is so badly needed as this

AS VIEWED IN CANADA.

This is what the Ottawa Citizen had to say the day after reciprocity was defeated:
 "The first feeling of the great ma 1ority of Canadians on learning the result of yesterdays elections will be one of profound thankfulness It was not political contest in the ordi- nary acceptation of the term Cana dians may differ on questions of in ternal administration or economic poli- cy but, while reciprocity might be regarded in the same light, the per- spicacity of the people discerned in this measure the possibility of an in ternational entanglement which might not only threaten the autonomy of Canada, but eventually be the enter ing wedge that should break asunder the ties of empires. It so happened that the exigencies of politics, both as regards the liberal government of Canada and the republican party in the United States, rendered the occas- ion opportune for coalition of inter- ests. The former was reduced to desperate straits and ready to grasp at any straw to save itself"
 We hope what the leading Ameri- can papers have been saying about Canadian affairs is not so far from the mark as the statements made above. They are so wide of the mark that they must cause the ordinary reader to smile. Uncle Sam has trou- bles enough of his own without talk ing on the Lady of the Shows"

WHAT NEXT?

The exoneration of Dr. Wiley from all blame does not make the .pure- food board of the agricultural proceed to enforce the law than it are still urgent that those who are should go.
 The board of food and drug inspec- ton continues in control of the ad- ministration of the pure-food act. It still consists of Wiley, McCabe and Dunlap, and it is inconceivable that their relations will be more harmoni- ous because of the failure of the scheme of Dunlap and McCabe to oust Wiley. The latter testified that the vote was so often two to one against him that he generally refrain ed from voting and the public is in- quiring whether there will continue to be two to one vote in the future whenever a question arises between the interests of the doped- food man. ufacturers and the interests of the people. Without a thorough house. cleaning at the department of agri- culture the interests of the people will have profited little by the presidents action and the most pertinent ques- tion now is whether there is to be a much needed housekeeping and whether it will be undertaken by Sec retary Wilson or his successor and how soon. The public demands that President Taft should go further and promptly and effectually unbind Dr. Wiley's hands.

A SUNDAY TRIP FOR TAFT.

The westerners have planned to not only give President Taft a grand re- ception, but also to exhibit to him the wonders of the country
 Arriving at Tacoma Sunday morn ing, October 2S, the presidents spe- cial train will be rushed over branch line of the Milwa ukee road to Ash ford at the base of the mountain, where the wonderful automobile ride will begin. A quick run 12 miles to Rainier inn, at Longmire Springs, will be made; thence through the Nisqually river canyon, to the snout of the Mis-
 qually glacier. Passing through the shadow of a cliff of ice more than hundred feet high, and over the Mis- qually river rushing from the base of this ice cliff. the presidential party will start upon what at times will be a hair-raising trip. On a road but nine feet wide, chiseled out of an almost perpendicular rock mountain side, he will go up and up until he reaches the very point of the mountain that sticks out like a great axe blade between two conyerging canyons. Hlgn in the air he will turn right about and follow the ridge of the mountain to where it juts out of a higher noun tain, and then back and forth up that mountain side until he reaches it's top most ridge and then over that ridge and on top of another until suddenly the road swings into wonderful mountain meadow. He will have cached Paradise valley. or Gods roof garden" above the clouds, and far re- moved by Indian superstition from all the struggles and trials, conflicts and disturbances of the lower world. The Indian here cached his arms. Pur- sued or pursuer. he forgot his fear and foe or his quarry and entered at peace with all the world.
 The government road winds three miles around and through this valley president will alight to wade knee deep in fields of wild flowers, up a hillside to snow fields, but a little ways out on to a glacier, back again through the wild flower beds and over small green carpeted hills to a high cliff at the edge of the meadow. Here he will get a wonderful view of the Mis- world. It extends eight miles up the mountain side and he will see it from it's snout almost four miles below him clear up to it's neve in the snow and ice fields on the summit.
 There are twelve of these great gla- ciers, all of the true alpine type, with a measured flow of from 100 to 1000 feet year, and as many inter or trib utary glaciers 0 n the mountain side.

THE REASON PRODUCE IS
 HIGHER

The New York Evening Post, after reviewing the agricultural statistics of the census bureau finds ample cause for an advance in price of most farm products. It finds that during the ten years from 1900 to 1910 the population of the United States increased 21 per rent, but the total acreage devoted to agriculture was extended during the tame period only Az per cent The number of farms rose from 5,737, ,372 In 1910 to 6,340.357, a gain of 10 1-2 per cent, but meanwhile the average size decreased from 146 acres to 138 acres, the actual area in farms being s3S, ,592, 900 acres in 1900 and S73,729, 900 In 1910. The actual area of improved land during the decade increased 62,- s49,Q00 acres, or 15.2 per cent. With an expansion of 21 per cent. in pop ulation and of Az per cent. in land used for agricultural purposes, it was Inevitable that the value of land and of farming products should rise enor- mously. In 1900 farm land was val ued at s13,05S, ,00s, 00e, whereas last year the firure reached the colossal sum of BPS, ,3S6, ITO. 900, a gain of s15.- 328,T62. 900, or 117.4 per cent. Meas ure by acres the increase was from s15.5T to $22.49, a rise of 1887 per cent. The farmer has not been inn mune from the rise in the cost of labor: ten years ago the wages bill was only $357.392.0O0, as contrasted with s645,e12 600 in 1910.
 These figures make it clear that it is not possible for farmers to produce food products at former prices without making serious losses.

be mended stays where it is put" The remedy for all this is a. regular mend ing day or a regular mending even ing, if you are business woman. As soon as a garment needs mending. if it be only button or g. hook that must he replaced put it aside unless it is so necessary that you must attend to the trouble at once, and when mending day rolls around do the required sewing. You will be surprised to find how much lighter your work becomes when you can thus catch rents and tears at their start instead of at their disastrous fin ish. The other point to remember is to always have your sewing imple- ments where you can get them and in perfect order. Do not wait until the very moment for mending to find that you are out of white thread or that your needles are rusty. When @ thing needs replacing replace it; when it even be well to have a preparation day to antedate the mending one.

Question:-PIease explain this Scrip ture found in l. John ii:e: "Whoso- ever is born of God does not sin; for His seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin because he is born of God"? (Signed) INQUIRER, Norwich
 AnsWer-A better translation from the original Greek manuscripts rem ders the passage thus: No one who has been begotten by God practises sin; because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten by God.' This beget- ting takes place at the time of the receiving of the Holy Spirit. In other words. it is the beginning of the new spiritual life; the living of the Christi like life. This new creature" e Cor v:1fl IS in an embryonic state or con- ditfon while in the flesh and will be born of the spirit in the resurrection. The spirit of the Lord God is the pow CT or influence exerted upon the minds and hearts of those who have surren-

 dered their own wills and are obedient to the divine will. This holy power of the Lord gradually transforms the mind of the Christian; shaping the mental faculties so that earthly hopes, desires and ambitions die, while heav- eniy spiritual ones are developed. The spirit begotten New Creature becomes spiritually minded; develops new mind; his mind is renewed; for so states the Apostle-"Be not conformed to the things of this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds" (Romans xii:2.) Because of the weakness and the imperfections of the flesh we sin almost constantly; not wilfully, the new mind. the mind of Christ, cannot sin. All who are honest with themselves will acknowl edge that they are imperfect and can not do the things that they would; perfectly.-Se I. John is; ii:1
 The embryotic New Creature (the mind of Christ dominated by the Holy Spirit) cannot sin (wilfully), as long as His seed (the spirit) remaineth in him."

ORIENTAL COLORiNG.

Oriental colorings are used in some cases with more splendid effect than ever, and at other times are treated with unwonted delicacy. A new even ing gown has a tunic of white chiffon cloth with a deep border in an extra ordinarily rich coloring of shades of blue, red and yellow, with an over de- sign of gold. This is made all the more striking by falling over a deep hem of black velvet on the under robe. In marked contrast is a gown with a foundation of white satin, with tunic of canary chiffon with few little en- broidered figures of oriental aspect around the bottom and some more on the shoulders. The only other trim ming is some silver bead and bugle fringe.

ENGLISH LACE.

The still recent coronation has left among other things that form it's wake a vogue for English lace. Sew era1 English villages show marked revival of lace making in consequence. Even the young women may be seen, within or without their cottages, fing- CTS flying over the pillows, making mesh or sprigs with busy bobbins or bone needles. Two centuries ago Eng fish thread lace was used as inserting for pillow slips of pure linen, the silk en cover showing through the lace strips Some of these pillow slips, forming part of the rousseau of one of the first Livingstones to emigrate to America, are still in existence, in per feet condition, though used only on rare occasions by their present own ers to whom they have come by direct inheritance.
