The Proposed Fertilization of the Canal.

London, Jan. 14.-The declaration
BIZ the Berlin Post that the fortilication
OF the Panama Canal by the United
States is Imperative from a military
standpoint is causing considerable re-
sentiment in the London press today.
The Post is believed to express the Off
ciai opinion OF the German government.
lis conclusions are SO Numerically OPP
posed to those of England as to be con-
stsucd as IN indirect attack on Eng
lands opposition to the fortification Of
the canal.
In view OF the English belief that
President Taft lis determined to fortify
the canal Sand that Congress will sup
port him to the limit, there is dispo-
stion here to abandon any serious
diplomatic representations against the
fertilization. Such representations, 1t
is conceded, would meet & ministerial
setback, and it is probable that Eng
land will abandon her opposition as
gracefully rs possible.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
To NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage, a
Simple Remedy for Dandruffl
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea OF using sage for darken'
Ing the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers used to have dark,
glossy hair at the age OF seventy-fivc,
while our mothers have white hair before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers used
to make a sage tea and apply it 10
their hair The tea made their hair
soft and glossy, and gradually restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such prep
aration was the trouble Of making il,
especially as it had to be made every
two or three days, on account Of souring
quickly. This objection has been over
come, and by asking almost any first
class druggist for Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy the public can
get a superior preparation of sage, with
the admixture OF sulphur, another val
liable remedy for hair and scalp troub-
les. Daily use Of this preparation will
not only quickly restore the color OF the
hair, but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make II grow,
Get bottle from your druggist to-
day. Use ii and see for Yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish.
This preparation Is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Free SCHOOLGIRLS and Supplies.

Mr. Editor: One of the propositions
which will come up at the town cleo
ton, viz: that of authorizing the
school visitors to purchase the neces-
sary schooIbooks and supplies for the
pupils in the Norwich public schools
deserves the favorable consideration of
every voter.
While the free textbook agitation in
Connecticut has been compare tively
recent it is Interesting to know that
New York city has. been furnishing
books to the pupils for over a century,
the practice dating back to 1906. Even
in Showdown or Philadelphia, books
have been free for nearly a century,
as it was adopted in 1918. Boston
Washington, st. Louis, Cleveland and
other large cities have successfully and
economically introduced the system
and in several states, notably Indiana
and Texas, laws have been passed pre-
Scribing uniform textbooks and regu-
1ating prices and the states have. pub
lished the textbooks themselves. In
Chicago. the book Ombine annually
filched 100000 from the parents of
Chicago's school children until the city
council was called on to authorize the
printing and compilation by the board
of education of all textbooks to be used
in the public schools.
In 1905, the Connecticut state legis-
lature took an advanced step when it
enacted a law making it mandatory for
"
enlightened policy to vote on the ques-
ton. Seventy-two out of the III towns
which voted on the proposition ia
Vored it and now at least 123 or nearly
rs per cent. of Connecticut towns are
enjoying the benefits of free textbooks
1t is in operation in thirteen of the
twenty towns in New London
county. In Norwich the Town street
school district has it. Every city in
Connecticut of the size of Norwich or
larger has adopted the system and in
Middletown the question will be voted
upon this year. A petition signed by
twenty legal voters Is sufficient to
bring the question before the voters
of any town which has not adopted it.
Education is not free when pupils
are compelled to purchase the required
textbooks and supplies. The states
publishing their own textbooks sell
them at ridiculously low prices when
compared with the retail cost of books
published by the schoolbook trust.
Some of these states have supplied
free books for a quarter of a century
and longer, with the most satisfactory
results to the general public.
one of the reasons which initiates
against the desira bility of Norwich as
a residential city is that it lags be-
hind in educational matters Norwich
needs free schoolbooks and supplies,
consolidation of school districts, a
high school which is free to ALL and a
manual training or trades school.

WORLDS BEST MOVING
PICTURE AT THE AUDITORIUM

The best moving picture ever
made" This sounds rather d broad
statement to make. but it is one that
may safely be made without fear of
contradiction. The management of the
Auditorium, ever on the alert for fea-
lures of all kinds, certainly picked a
winner when they booked this film, as
il is without doubt the peer of all
moving pictures up to the present time.
The title of the film is Clio e. Phyletes
and 1t is produced by the ITALIA Co. OF
Turin. Italy the firm. who became ia
nous in a day by their former master
piece, the Fall of Troy. The Fall of
Troy was, and is, a masterpiece of
Photographic art but Clio & Phyletes
is as far ahead of the Fall of Troy
as that film was ahead of all previous
productions. The fire scene deserves
special mention, as it is wonderfully
realistic and totally eclipseS anythin z
ever produced in this line. Today is
the last chance to witness this special
feature. and if the Auditorium is as
fun today as it was yesterday it will
be necessary to be on hand early.
Although the management of the Au-
ditorium went to considerable extra
expense to secure this 100000 feature,
the admission charges remain the
