FIRM FOUNDATION
NOTHING GAN UNDERMINE IT IN
 NORWICH.

People are sometimes slow to recog- nize true merit, and they cannot be blamed, for so many have been hum bugged in the past. The experience of hundreds of Norwich residents ex- pressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan's Kid ney Pills on firm foundation here.
 Mrs. Mary Nef, 465 Main Street, Norwich, Conn, says: For many years member of my family was sub iect to attacks of kidney complaint He suffered from pains across the Joins and at times could scarcely get about on account of his back being so stiff and lame. The kidney secretions were irregular in passage and often contained sediment. Doan Kidney Pills, procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store, proved of benefit from the first and soon disposed of every symp- tom of kidney complaint"
 The above statement was given Aug. 27, 1908, and on July 21, 1911, Mrs. Nefr said: T willingly confirm all l said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills in the testimonial given for publication in 1908. Nothing has occurred to change my high opinion of Deans Kidney Pills"

DANeER FRoM DANeLINe WIRES

A lessen which cost the life of the Taftvi'ie young man, T. Turcotte, is one which everyone who sees a dang ling wire should profit by. The known danger that exists in broken wires of any kind is sufficient to give them a wide berth, yet the repeated instances of electrOcution by touching them shows what little profit is gained from such lessons. Whether a wire carries an electric current of high voltage or not, does not eliminate the danger be- cause the liability of being crossed with live wires is always present.
 The coroneTs hearing shows that by itself the telephone wire was harmless but when the young man, who evi- dently knew the proximity of the high tension wires, started to swing them together, he invited death. Had he simply moved the wire, it would have passed as a small incident of the day. He determined to play with it, and the result was fatal to a young man of nineteen. who should have known better. In absOlTing the lighting de- psrtnent from any blame. Coroner Brown gave the only decision possible Sad. indeed. are such cases where young men lose their lives, but how great is 10 be deplored the fact that such lessons of recklessness and disre- spect Of danger continue to go un- needed. The best rule to follow is to leave all wires alone. It is impossible for the uniformed to tell wherein the sting lies.

civilization of antiquity know of sacrifice for the weak? His philoso- phy taught him to despise them He thought it proper simply to let the sick or deformed die to expose the puny child on the mountains. The altruism that redeems our modern life had scarcely so much as enter ed his thought.
 Today we are coming to believe that the strong must bear the infrmities of the weak This is the meaning of great mass of legislation that Is finding its way onto the statute books. This is the purpose of count less organizations and institutions for the relief of divers kinds of sui fering. This is the motive behind great gifts to philanthropy. It isn't judged even respectable today to be without a degree of enthusiasm for ones human brothers, no matter how unfortunate they may be.
 The very fact that people are sick or helpless or deficient gives them . claim on the builders of a Christian civilization. We consider ourselves in debt not to the strong but to the helpless. The most neglected little child of the tenements must have sufficient food, pre- milk, proper cloth ing, the best education the state can provide and playgrounds to make his childhood happy. It is said that in sickness, the poorest people of New York may have gratis medical and surgical attendance fully equal to that which millionaires can pro- vide for their families.
 When the "boy senator from Ten nessee a few months ago in Wash ington, suffered his veins to be tapped that the infusion of good blood might save his stricken and pallid wife, he was doing in effect what thousands of Americans are doing every day. There are millions of fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters, there are toilers in all spheres whose lives are a continual sacrifice through all the years. We have daily illus traitor of the fact that the world is coming gradually into new and Christian temper.
 It has been a long slow progress from the age when might made right and weakness had no chance to the hour when the men of the Titanic stood aside in favor of the helpless But the great movement is on. Nc one who notes the evidence can fail to see that the worlds moral climate IS changing. THE PARSON.

cHlNA's FINANCIAL PUZZLE.

After long conference. with the ex- ercse of the leenest diplomacy and tact and the watchful guardianship to sec that no unfair advantage was gained, the representatives of the six powers have succeeded in agreeing on the $500, ,000,000 loan to China with the proper guarantee for their loans China is in most urgent need of funds in launching the new republic, which includes the paying off of the army and the settlement of its obligations.
 The six great powers. United States, Great Britain. Germany France Rus sia and Japan. guarded carefully every move that was made in the forming of combinations to gain an advantage in the mortgaging of China. and strange alliances developed. but the agreement which has been signed sat ishes all. The bold attempt of Russia 10 carry her point and get political advantage by furnishing all the needed funds was only frustrated by the pres sure brought to bear on China by the other powers. The financial problem was one of the hardest which the new republic faced, and to the, bankers who are lending the money the opportunity to drive sharp bargain was open, but the difficulty in reaching the agree
 ment was not concerned with that, but the insistence on the understanding that representatives of the bankers who are furnishing the coin shall su-. pervise the expenditures. This was a wise clause in the agreement.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Suggestion for Norwich.


 MT Editor: Will you kindly permit the suggestion that the Rose of New England take as its model "Brook-in- Waterland," which as long ago as when Washington Irving wielded his pen with such inimitable grace and humor was the pride of the people of the low countries" and which to this day retains it's well earned renown for cleanliness, with some notable addi- tions-such as shining tile flooring in COW stalls and lace draperies at their windows. Superfiuous? Not at all. May not an additional smack of relish be given thereby to the little round cheeses turned out by thousands in adjoining workrooms?
 Cleanliness the watchword. and cleanliness guides the process which completes these perfect specimens of the dairyman's craft-clothed in fresh yellow for home consumption, with a red jacket added for oversea journey ing.
 Neatness as well as cleanliness rules this little community. Note the well ordered cooking utensils in glittering array on the kitchen walls. and the ornaments on the walls of their best room.
 Surely were canned goods ever to reach the Brookites the discarded cans would be polished and placed with geometrical precision somewhere-pos- sibly as borders for flower beds-in- stead of being dumped by the roadside in country lanes-this presupposing that. as in our advanced civilization an inconspicuous dumping ground with enforced use of the same is but a mild dream of the future.
 The re-reading of Irving's Brock the Dutch Paradise and the adoption of the same in public school readers might inspire a worthy emulation which would perchance in time show far reaching results, even to the addi- ton of one more industry on the Thames hospitable banks-to supply adequate green paint.
 A step further. to Berlin, for a les son as regards billboards, might follow in due order.
 Happy the day when all we own re tire and the low wooden pillar at inn portant centers of activity contain al required information on matters O public interest. M. B. R. June 21. 1912.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST.

If you could have witnessed the wreck of some ancient Chinese junk encountering a typhoon in the Yellow sea, it would have been evident that only the strongest of the men aboard had a chance of surviving. Such rude means of escape as that age provided would promptly have been seized by the able bodied. It would have been a poor outlook for women and chil- dren, for sick or disabled. All such would have been left to their fate.
 When the Queen of the Seas went down few weeks ago on the Grand Bank and the lifeboats were match ed with those who needed them, the cry Women and children first" rang out along the decks of the doomed vessel And the chtvalrous adherence to this law of the sea will never be a gleam of light through the black ness of the stupendous tragedy. The strong perished, the weak were saved Men of wealth and importance step ped aside that unknown women of the steerage might make their way to safety.
 Rarely has civilization so splendidly justified itself Rarely has there been a more impressive exhibit of the nor al distance the human spirit has travelled in the progress of the years. It was a daily newspaper that said, Tt were better to drown 5D millionaires than to lower by line the standard of service by the strong to the weak The law of the sea was the law of the living Christ. Should it die He will be crucifed again.
 Whenever I hear anyone lamenting because the times are out of joint and the world getting worse instead of better I like to make a few comparisons. The world is pretty sell fish yet but immeasurably less selfish than it once was What did the Roman representative of the greatest

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

to conhne Deity betweth the covers of any book because he must be co-eX tensive with, not the universe, but the universes He has created Divine power and divine love are reflected in his works, and by the daily operation of his laws. If 1t was not for the per feet work of his laws there would be none of the delightful things we en- toy-even the lemonade with the ice in it would be missing.
 Do we think? Perhaps you think you are in life not that you are life Being life you are power and if has been given you to make O life what you will! As l view it there comes to me the conclusion that we make more of a mess of it than we should Early in life we get to harboring vain con ceits instead of storing in the mind real treasures. It IS up to us to create our own atmosphere and when we get it created we not infrequently find it is not healthy and then we do not recognize it as a creation of our own, but think it is an affliction diyinely sent instead of self inflicted while we see in nature the bounties of Heaven distributed alike to the just and the unjust
 Our eyesight ought to keep our thinker right; and it would if we would just keep the thought that it is well for both to act in harmony. Seeing has deal to do with knowing, hence it is necessary we should see straight. The responsibilities of life are all ours. We cannot be careless and slovenly without showing it in our lives and feeling it in the conditions we create Best efforts in every day living bring best results. To be a credit to his Creator man must be alive to the fact that he is a son of God and has himself been a creator in evil dence of this fact
 How We think, has all to do with how we feel. If we think villainously we shall soon be possessed of a villains heart; but if we think righteOusly we shall know that we are an heir of Heaven. Thoughts which arise from 1ealously envy and hate are dangerous to our own well-being, for they carve us as the sculptor's tools carve the marblf, and make us their representa- tives fin appearance and action; while thoughts of love and faith and use fitness give a glow to the countenance becoming to our heirship. Thoughts | are not inert nothings, but active forces which give color to our acts and fix the character of life's compen- Sations
 If you are sure you think, instead of thinking you think. how do you think Your thoughts color your world Il 1 you think the world is growing better the rainbow is often in your heart; but if you think the world is growing worse it castes a gloom over the little | righteousness which may possess l your soul.
 If you think, give the caste to you | thought which blesses not blights | Try to be the captain of your fate anC | the Master of your Soul"

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

What a vast deal of things the hu- man race has lived through! As a boy has to live through measles and puppy love and self conceit so the race has had it's diseases of immaturity.
 There are things that only time can teach.
 There is the fear of the unknown, such as the dread of God, of death and of the future. There is the divine right of kings; the idea that some people are born to toll and others to play; human slavery; war; the notion that it is grander to be idle than to work; the belief that plague and pes tiIence are divine punishments to be evaded by prayer instead of by clean ing up: and that the human soul eau be made happy by any other means than it's own resources.
 One reason the world is growing wis., CT is that we have books, the record of our past mistakes. No generation can be as big a fool as the one before it. The centuries, by slow and cosmic process, teach humanity what is worth while
 The millennium is coming, but it will be grown, not artihcially made. Men make things; God grows things. The Golden Age will come as the strength eEing oak, not as the perfected ma chine.
