STATE ROADS

The same trouble is experienced in the building or keeping in repair of the highways of the state as in private business and one of the chief of these is the delay that is made necessary by the inability to secure the material The truth of this is apparent to all who have had experi- ence in any kind of construction work. Intentions may be of the best and could work be accomplished when de- sired everything would go along smoothly for the satisfaction of all concerned. And yet at the same time a criticising public fails to take into consideration the very conditions un- der which they individually operate.
 The delay in the oiling of state roads having existed for some time. it was learned upon inquiry at the highway commissioners office that two million gallons of road oil have been ordered for this state and should have been delivered. The holding up of the shipments outside the state makes 1t embarrassing for tho department and those who are using the unoiled roads. Once across the state line the oil is quickly handled and complaint quick ly ceases. This shows that the depart nent is giving its attention to the duty before it. Action is needed in hurry ing along the material. The interstate commerce commission has an opportu- nity for investigation along this direc- ton and all Connecticut will welcome speedy relief

CANAL LEGISLATION.

Congress has an important duty be- fore 1t in the enactment of the legis- lation regarding the control and rates in the Panama canal It is sub iect in which other nations are inter ested as well as this. and in which some obligation on the part of this country is incurred by the Hay Pauncefote treaty. The two important features which have caused most of the discussion are the exemption of the tolls for American coasting trade and the exclusion of railroad owned steamships. By the treaty this coun- try is bound not to discriminate in the matter of rates and it is not discrim- mating in exempting American ships, for they now have by law a monopoly of the coasting trade. but there arises the important question of good busi- ness policy to adopt such a plan. Senator Lodge holds that legally this country can carry out the proposal, but that if that action should be car ried to The Hague it would lose. There is thus no value in starting out with a losing proposition
 The economic wisdom of the legisla- ton is an important phase of the mat ter. There must be a distinction drawn between that and the sharp lines of legality. American interests should be guarded, but in endeavor- ing to do what it desires. an honora- ble regard must be paid to what it has pledged itself to do. Heedless action should not characterize the legisla- tior-

EDUCATING THE IMMIGRANT.

For the betterment of the country and the growing generations there is no greater work that can be done than among the immigrants for the impart- ing of the knowledge which is so nec- essary for them in the enlightenment to be gained from better conditions. A striking example of what can be done in the way of educating the immigrant in American standards of living is be- ing carried out at Buffalo, where a group of IS women, working under the North American Civic league for Im- migrants. are going directly to the homes and showing the housewives how to keep the house clean, how to cook. how to vary the diet. how to prevent sickness. how to sew. how to care for her children and how to get the most for her money. This whole some advice given 10 many homes passes to great many others as they realize the great benefits obtained
 The yalus of this work can be thor oughly realized when the extent of its influence is recognized It not only spreads out to neigl1oOrs and friends, but it is perpetuated through the chil- dren with increasing benefits. Better homes mean better citizens and the better conditions mean better health. There has been little done in the way of replacing the ignorance which ex- ists in domestic life among the. immi- grants. It has been hard to reach them, but the problem in that direc- tion would seem to be solved in go- ing to their homes. There they are at home and the force of the lesson can be applied.

FAITH IN EASTERN CONNECT.
CUT.

Eastern Connecticut is due for a steady and persistent growth through the unbounded faith which it's resi- dents have in it's possibilities. This is the necessary force which will bene- 1t every community and at the pres ent a determined effort is being made throughout the eastern end of the state for combined work in bringing about desired results. The Business Mems associations are lending strength 10 the plan and following the united gathering at which the four mayors of Eastern Connecticut cities speak upon the development of Eastern Connecticut the interests of the four cities should be united in a deter imitation to bring it about
 Faith will prove an important fac tor In this endeavor. It went a long distance in bringing about the mil lion dollar harbor improvement at New London when it was sought from the state The natural advantages of that harbor and the need for deveI- opment was apparent, but it needed the faith in the belief that fl could be ob- tained 10 accomplish it. Norwich re- gently added to it's manufacturing in- terests in an enthusiastic campaign through the faith there was in it's citizens and the advantages of tho city. It was faith which developed in all the cities the manufacturing in- terests upon which they so greatly depend and established the schools. business houses and churches. It should be kept constantly active in further development now that the de- termination Is made that the inter ests of this end of the state shall be allied

To Avoid Pasty, Shiny,
 Streaked Complexions
lFrom Beauty,s Mirror.

Those who abhor sticky, greasy, shiny, streaked complexions should re- ligiously avoid creams, powders and rouges these heated days. There's no need for them, anyway, since the vir- tues of mercolized wax have become known. No amount of precipitation will produce any evidence that you've been using the wax. AS it is applied at bedtime and washed off In the morning, the complexion never looks like makeup. Mercolized wax gradually takes off bad complexion. instead of adding anything to make it worse. It has none of the disad- vantages of cosmetics and accom- plishes much more in keeping the complexion beautifully white, satiny ahd youthful Just get an ounce of it at your druggists and see what few days treatment will do. Use like cold cream.

SHE NEEDED A CHANGE

you think MT. Tweedy told him! Why | that he should reduce expensesl | When he had similar position. he | said, his wife and children could not ! maintain the style we did. But, after all, don't you feel that care-taker is rather a menial position? I should feel as if I lowered myself in accepting 1 it."
 A slight flush tinged Mrs. Marshton's cheek, but she only said they had no such feeling and were only too glad to be of service on such favorable terms
 Well I shall go somewhere of course" replied Mrs. Stiles" and trust to chance to pay the bills in the fall. Henry'll have to get the money, somehow.
 We, will see which comes out best in the end. l certainly must have a change of some sort"
 So they separated, and Mrs. Marsh ton found herself wondering that her guest could not see how fast MT. Stiles was growing old, and how the grey hairs were creeping in and how haggard and eareworn he looked T should be sorry to have my husband look SO" thought she, and Henry Stiles told Frank the other day that he should have to do with no vaca- tfon this summer, for he could not afford one"
 The summer went on. The Marsh l tons found real rest and refreshment in their lake-shore home, and were the happier because Papa" could share it with them. Mrs. Stiles took Elsie to a gay summer resort where the older ] lady found a congenial set of so- ciety people, whose fondness for cards was as great as her own, and where both she and her daughter | soon attracted notice for their fashionable and expensive wardrobes. l Their boys had been allowed to join i camp and were living more to their 1 liking.
 l The autumn brought them all home 1 again. The Marshtons were really in ! vigorated by this sensible outing, but l Mrs. Stiles found herself wondering why the change had done her so little | good.
 T suppose" she told her friends, cit is because l am so worried over Hen ] ". He seems on the verge of a ner- vous collapse, and if he gives out, what shall we dol"
 l The break down came, however, and winter found her with no time for cards or church suppers. She really was a devoted wife at heart, and when | TOuSeu lFOHi her SelHS00eSS, her DOaSt- i ed executive ability was turned to 1 good account in running a fashionable | boarding house to good advantage. Few of her former society friends now found time to search her out, and she realized how little value could be 1 placed upon such friendships
 Mrs Marshton and the despised minister's wife remained true friends and were able to be of real service to her.
 A hard lesson had been set before her, but she gained by this change for she now knew the true value of use fitness and the worthlessness. of mere show. Her boys developed manliness heretofore unsuspected in them, and
 did much to restore their fathers health, and as he improved, they all found themselves ready for a more
 energetic and a nobler life. They needed a change and in after life were thankful that it came as it

 q really need change. but I can not decide where to go," remarked a caller to her hostess one day in mid summer. My husband is no help in the matter He only laughs and says he should think 1t would be a change for me to remain at home for while. That's all man knows about 1t! They do not realize the deadly routine of a womans life. l am all worn out with society demands. You know l have joined four Bridge clubs, and then there are the calls for help from the church. We have so many sup pers and entertainments to gain mon ey for our dues, and somehow 1 am always called upon to help, and 1 cannot refuse. Mrs. Stiles" they say, you have so much executive ability" and perhaps l have. So few are willing to be responsible for such things, but 1t always seems to come out all right, when have charge. Now there's our minister's wife She smilingly says she does not believe in such ways of getting money for church work, and if we would each give according to her ability, the amount would soon be made up, and time and strength sav- ed for better use. A fine way for her
 
 does not realize how much the prizes and favors cost. Then I should be ashamed to let my children dress as plainly as hers do. She claims they are happier in their untrimmed frocks but mine would not be so easily con- tented. Why, my Elsie at eight is as particular already over her dress, as I am. and what she will be at eighteen I am sure I don't know Her father calls her Little Miss Vanity. and still he indulges her as much as l do. She wants to go for the sum n1er to some fashionable place, but they are all so expensive. The boys are different Their choice is to go where they can find woods and water and an outdoor life. So you see am quite at a loss to decide for my summer outing. What are you in tending to do, Mrs. Marshton%
 Seeing that her guest had actually paused for a reply, Mrs. Marshton took the opportunity to say that she lived so quietly with her little ones dur ing the winter that the need of change was less in her case, but she felt that the city was poor place for the children in the summer, so they al ways tried to get away for a time dur ing school vacation. A fine chance had come in their way this year. so they should be out of town longer than usual.
 MT. Marshton's employer has a pleasant summer home on the lake shore not many miles away. He and his wife are going abroad for the sum- mer. and their children are grown up, you know, and have other plans for the season. So he has offered the place to us as care-takers during the next three months. MT. Marshton can come out by trolley very often, and, when his vacation comes, can be with us all the time, and we are booking forward to it with much pleasure"
 Well, you are in luck, but some how things seem to come your way Catch my husbands employer doing such a thing as that! He seems to think the more he can get out of his men for the least pay the better Why only the other day, Henry intimated that he would like a raise in his salary and referred to his increasing family expenses as an excuse, and what dc

GET YOUNG MEN ON THE FARM.

Back te the farm Is strongly urged by Secretary Wilson es the depart ment of agriculture in commenting upon the recent statement of Col. c. M. Jarvis relative to the failure of this state to produce only quar- ter of what 1t requires from the soil He says While that part of our country has educated her people to- wards her industries until many of them now send their products to all lands even where labor Is cheaper than in New England, she has not yet educated her farmers toward the farm, She has educated the farm boy, with out question, in her great educational institutions, but she has prepared him to leave the farm as soon as his edu cation is completed-and he promptly leaves it. It is not too late for New England to begin now the considera- tion of the condition of her soils and her agriculture generally, but it is high time. My theory, then, is that the college should be taken to the farm. Extend the class room work and let the field of the poor farmer become the class room. Each county in New England could furnish a first class practical man who would help in this work The United States should pay part of his salary and the county in which he works part. The whole country is interested in this problem It does cost too much to live. and it costs so much simply because we have not been educating the children of the farm
 This advice is excellent and it is evident that if the Nutmeg State is to improve it's productiveness it must adopt such a course. The department is giving it's help by making soil surveys which will be of valuable as- sistance, but the interesting of the young man in the farm is the vital problem.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

In higher matters there is no such thing as possession.
 l may own a cane or a hat, a house and possibly a dog, but to say that I can own an idea or an emotion is ab- surd.
 If offer you some of my money. my stock of funds is decreased by as much as you take. But if I offer you some of my knowledge of chemistry, some of my skill in painting, some of my taste in literature. some of my love. or some of my religion. then exactly the opposite result is produced: for I have left more than I had before gave
 l doubt whether the saying. Tt is more blessed to give than to receive" should be applied to money at all for in the end I think 1t makes little dif- ference.

 The only way to fill your bins with hope, joy, knowledge and affection, Is to give all you have.
