Preventing a Blister.

A blister is almost sure to form
from burn if it is not taken care OF.
To avoid it. mix quickly equal portions
OF olive oil and the white OF an egg
and apply to the burn. Then cover
with piece of soft linen. Bicarbonate
OF soda is more quickly obtained, and
is almost as good Put on the burn
dry, cover with cloth and then keep
wet. A bad blister, if covered with
one per cent. solution of carbolic acid
on a piece Of linen and kept on for
a day or two. will disappear with no
scar and little pain.

then began looting from house toulouse.
They were joined by the rabble. Shops
and banks in all important streets were
looted, and some of them were wrecked.

the soldiers kept up a continual gun

WARN AMERICANS
TO LEAVE MEXICO
PRESIDENT TAFT HAS ISSUED
PROCLAMATION FOR OUR
PEOPLE TO GET0UT.
Ambassador Wilson Tells People to Get
ON United States Soil and Leave Be-
longings in Hands of Our Consuls for
Notwithstanding Is Needed and
Trains Are Packed.

Washington.-The gravity of the sit
uation in Mexico caused President Taft
to issue proclamation virtually warn
ing American citizens to refrain from
entering that country and those now
resident there to leave when condi-
tions threaten to become intolerable.
The decision to issue such warning
was reached at special meeting of the
cabinet. The proclamation was aug
mented by a telegram addressed by
the state department to Ambassador
Wilson in the City of Mexico. The am
bassador was instructed to inform
Americans in peril to withdraw across
the border, leaving their effects in the
care of nearest United States eonsuls.
Copies of the telegram were sent also
to all consular agents.
The president s utteranee, it was ex-
planned, was in no sense recognition
of the revolutionary movement in the
sister republic to the south Neither
was it to be looked upon as a declara-
ton of neutrality. 1t was declared the
utterance was solely a warning to
Americans to avoid anything that
might SAVIOR of partizanship in the ex-
isting state of affairs.
The proclamation is interpreted fur
Their as an expression of this country's
intention to avoid by every possible
means any chance of intervention.
CONSERVATION Among Americans.
The news quickly spread throughout
the American colony and caused ex-
element bordering on CONSERVATION.
PROFESSIONALLY the advice will be
needed by all Americans who can leave
conveniently without waiting for
more serious state of affairs.
Already the exodus is well under
way Railroad trains east for a few
days have been carrying extra sections
to accommodate the travel, and steam
er accommodations are well booked for
two weeks in advance.
No ofense to Mexico.
The proclamation by President Taft
contains nothing Objectionable to the
Mexican people, in the opinion of Gen
eral Calero, minister of foreign rela-
tions.
President Madero read the proclama-
ton through without comment, other
than to express approval of the tenor
of it.
FL Paso, Enthusiastically s devel.
opments caused Mexico refugees here
to express belief that President Ma
dero of Mexico is facing a constantly
expanding menace in the form of the
revolution in the northern states, as
well as that under Zapata in the south.
Call To Arms Is Issued.
Mexico City.-A call to arms for the
defense of the constituted government
by the patriotic people of Mexico City
is the gist of a long open letter adj
dressed by President Madero to any
fellow citizens" through the press of
the capital, Sunday. A serious condi-
ton of affairs in many parts of the
country is admitted, and the people are
reminded of the opportunity to sup
port the government by enlisting in
the regular army.
If present plans are carried out, Pres
ident Madero is soon to have an army
in the northern part of the republic
numbering 5000 local men.

WON SILVER MEDAL
AND $40 IN GOLD.
Herman AIofsin, I'd, Delivers Original
Grafton Upon Frances Willard.


Herman Alofsin, I'd one Of the rising
young attorneys of this city, who came
into prominence through his member
ship upon the charter commission and
was also one of the recent 100 boom
ers of Norwich, was the winner Satur
day night at Mystic ola silver medal
and a $40 gold piece in an oratorical
contest against five others under the
auspices of the w. c. 7. L.
Mr. Alofsin's Grafton was original
and was delivered with an eloquence
that gave him the decision in the
opinion of the judges. The other con-
testants were William J. Andrews Of
Willimantic Ernest Allison Smith of
this city, William Cornish of Wesleyan
and Messrs. Sutton and Stevens,
sophomores at Wesleyan college.
A brief extract from Mr.. Alofsin's
Grafton upon Frances Willard follows:
The name of Frances Willard recalls
the eventful beginnings of a great
movement which was devoted to make
the world wider for women and better
for humanity. The influence of one
grand woman in the cycle Of the
worlds march to glory is today the
increasing tribute TO her fair name.
Today as in her day Frances Willard
is called the best loved woman in the
United States
Were we to look into the reason why
Frances Willard holds an afIectionate
spot in the hearts Of those whose aim
1t is to attain or bring nearer to com
pletion the unfinished work, We should
find that the charm lies in that uplift-
ing quality Of sterling character that
was devoted to lettering the world in
which she lived. She gave the best
that was in her, ceaselessly, thoroughly
and full of faith in the strength OF her
purpose.
The work of the martyr pioneer is
in our hands. Are we true to our trust
To those who bear the burden and who
feel discouraged, let me say; Take
heart. for you have the example set
before you of the one who looks down
from her seat on high and says: The
fight is not yet DER. The time. how
ever. is at hand when there shall rise
phoenixIike and triumphant the cause
for God and home and native land. In
that day there shall stand the names of
the true patriots of this age emblaZon-
ed on the pages Of history written in
golden letters and none will be more
clearly traced than that Of Frances
willard, to whom it was truly said:
We'll done good and faithful servant,
enter thou into the joy Of Thy Lord -
