OUR MIMIC WAR
 AS IT IS SEEN
 BY DR. BOWERS

To the Editor of The Farmer, sir:-
 have contended for years that war
 was a degrading, debasing, foolish
 business: indulged in only by na- l tions and individuals with insufficient 1 brains to settle differences by any | other means
 l l have insisted that when men are
 removed from the refining influences l or good women they degenerate. It
 IS blologic law. Further, when young
 men are taken from honest. productive
 occupations, and taught scientific
 murder; when the brute instinct to
 Kill has been stimulated by elaborate 1 suggestion evolved by experience in
 wholesale slaughter; something of the ] noDler, finer attributes is lost This has been exemplified-in al very small and insignificant degree-so neg ligible as almost to appear infinitesi- I mai, in these present s:maneuyers'' l worr instance, a drunken negro troop
 CT, tiring of the monotony and sleepi-
 ness of Seymour shoots up the town,
 narrowly escapes committing murder and being lynched in consequence l thereof.
 A score of intoxicated rowdies in 1 U. 5. uniforms terrorize the town, of On the corner of Church and Chapel
 street, New Haven. Saturday morning I s
 nation was upheld by two "'spiflicated'' l guardsmen, God save the mark , l clinging fatuously to an electric pole. And wherever they have infested the 'neighborhood the @armies'' have left
 2 dark brown taste in the mouths of feeling of revulsion and disgust that isuch conduct should be tolerated 1 But what would you! From earliest l history, the avocation of the soldier has been gambling, drinking and lech- l cry. It is the psychological corallary of their bloody trade.
 And yet we savages waste hundreds of millions of sdollars yearly-seventy-
 three per y-cent of the total receipts of government to perpetuates this magni- 1 1cent systemi
 GOVERNMENT GANG MEN. A RELIC OF BARBARISM I We laud the splendid carcasses, and
 pander to the depraved and deprav- ing appetites of our heroes 1 The time is coming-with the devel- Opment of more liberal education l when the trade of soldier will be ac- | corded the same respect and reverence ] which executioners and gang men now receive.
 Tn point of fact. the position of a murderous gHng-n1an is philosophical l ly, ethically, and morally just as ten I able and defensible as is the position 1 Of government gang-ma And the poor deiuded workingmen l and boys who are exploited of their clean manhood and high ideals in the l interest of that relic of barbarism
 and savagry-''c civilized' warfare-will
 awake to the realization of this before
 many years.
 l P. S.-Just came across this illumi- hating Gcreed.
 1 Orders issued today shortened the length of the maneuvers so that in-
 stead of concluding on the 18th they will cease on the 17th and the national 1 guardsmen will return to their homes the 18th. This will allow them an I opportunity to return to their work IsMonday.''
 Is it necessary for a pink-toed, Iflap-eared jackass to kick our sol- Idiers', in the head before they per-
 ceive this point?

UNITED ILLUMINATING GO. PROGRESSIVE POLICY
 BENEFITS MANY
Special 90 Day Offer Discon
 tinued Tomorrow


 About three, months ago the United Illuminating Company made formal announcement that they would re- duce the price on house wiring to residents of Bridgeport, the cut in price being fully one-half that charged by contracting electricians. .This liberal offer has been accepted by many property owners and has been regarded quite generally as a most extraordinary proposition. Few cities enjoy so public spirited and progressive an illuminating concern, as, never before, to the writers knowledge, has an offer of such a liberal nature been made to the pub- lie. It is an indication only of the splendid manner in which the United Illuminating Company is serving the Bridgeport public and is deserving of hearty commendation and encourage ment.
 During the past year this concern fee building, which in itself is a credit to the city, greatly increased the capacity of it's power plant, de- veloped a complete and most elabor- ate show room where they carry all kinds of electrical accessories which are sold practically at cost to en- courage the use of electricity in the home for practical, every day pur- poses, and have come forward with their special 90 day offer to wire the home at cost, and in many instances below, to still further encourage the use of electric current in the home for Illuminating purposes.
 The whole trend of it's manage ment of affairs is a departure from precedent and, we repeat. this pro- gressiveness in business policy, and the public spiritedness which prompts it, is deserving of the hearty endorse ment of all right thinking people.
 The special 90 day offer will expire Thursday, August 18th.

calm forsook her and she became very gentle and also very weak. She beg ged many times for a physician but one was not summoned until she fell unconscious. The doctor pronounced her beyond medical aid and she was hurried to the New Haven hospital Before her death she wrote affection ately to her husband, asking him to come and bring their little boy. He knew nothing of the extreme serious ness of her illness, but could not get a day from /tfe factory until it was too late.
 Tn response to questions after Mrs. Doyle's death. the jail official forgot to be civil, and the two physicians who had attended the young woman pocketed their fees and sniffed that they knew nothing about notifying anyone Had they had the decency to inauire they could have learned easily. since the patient was consci- ous during her stay at the hospital.
 A nurse in attendance stated to MT. Doyle last evening that Mrs. Doyle wept piteously all the time she was at the institution and begged for her husband and her two dear little chil- dren. As her strength forsook her and no one appeared, she implored that a Roman Catholic priest be sum moned. As her dying statement, she asserted her absolute innocence re- garding the death of her DdDy. MS. Doyle died before the arrival, of any priest at the hospital It is not known definitely whether one was notified:
 Since learning that she was under some form of hypnotic influence, Mrs. Doyle's friends regret greatly tnelr forsaking the young woman and are grieving sincerely over her untimeiy demise. Even If she had deliberately cononitted a serious fault in leaving her husband, her subsequent patient s1fferings and pathetic death would atone for much When a child, Mrs. Trovle once fell upon the keen blade of an axe. and, remembering the lit tle scar on her forehead her rela-- lives have at times believed that some slight pressure on the brain might have accounted for her unusual ac- lions in being led away by a man;
 All concerned are scathing in their denunciation of the jail and hospi- taJ officials at New Haven who re- fused to answer the pleadings of a heartbroken dying young woman who went herself into eternity.
 Reverend Clifton Areson, curate of the Trinity Episcopal church will of- f3ciate at the services tomorrow. Friends of the deceased who find it ;mnoeeible to attend the funeral may view the remains at the undertaking parlors between the hours of and 8 this evening.

GOOD WORK
Done Daily in Stafford Springs. Many
 Citizens Tell of It,

Nearly every reader has heard of Doan's Kidney Pills. Their good work i'll Stafford Springs still con- tinues, and our citizens are constant ly adding endorsement by public testi- mony. No better proof of merit can be had than the experience of friends and neighbors. Read this case:
 Mrs M. H. Converse, East Main street, Stafford Springs, Conn.,, says: For a long time I suffered from backache and had about despaired of ever getting relief. To my surprise and delight Doan's Kidney Pills acted effectively as soon as I began taking them, and soon made me feel like different person. Another member of our household suffered for a long time from kidney trouble. This complaint caused loss of rest and nothing brought relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were procured at the Eaton drug store. Their action was all that could have been desired. The pain and lameness was removed and the other symptoms of kidney trouble corrected. :"
