LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Work to Advance Business and Pros
 perity.

MT. Editor: Apropos of that spirit of progress which admonishes to swat the dy.' in keeping with the idea of 8 "clean' up" day in various towns and cities, it Is well that we should not become so engrossed in these, though rommendable plans that we overlook that other spirit of progress which has to do with the increased employ ing capacity in our city. The preven- ton of disease by the destruction of it's spreading clements if such have been proven as carrying factors, the elini- nation of the sources of contamina- kion, are essentials tending toward the establishment of a more perfectly healthful community; but, likewise, it is a palpable fact that industrial pros perity inures to better health condi- Gons, and wherever a people are high tr circumstanced there will be found more wholesome households, cleaner in person and greater freedom from epi- eernics; there disease Is less frequent and less virulent
 To the end that Willimanttc may grow in population by giving employ meut to better paid labor, increasing the. purchasing power, upon which must depend the business interests of the city, active measures should be
 
 tries which employ chiefly men at a eOod wage. With railroad facilities excelled by few cities in the state, Will ltmantic can offer inducements to man ufacturers which if brought to the mo- tice of concerns contemplating changes ought to be fruitful of good results. Enterprises of an appreciable magni- tude and stable character should be sought in order to more quickly make a reality, Greater Willimantic.
 Patriotism, or, if you will loyalty to the city's interests is not dead, nor does 1t seem possible that the desire for the advancement of the material welfare of the city has vanished. This destre should be shared equally as well by the residents of the contiguous dis tricts to ,Willimantic as by those living in the city proper, for they would as surely feel the benefits accruing from a greater population. "A long pull and a strong pull and pull altogeth- eF," and let's have 10000 in the census of 1920.

 Work.
 ME. Editor. I notice in the Bulletin ca Nov. 30th under the heading Work by the Plain Talk Man, 1t says that work to Q curse and the Bible says so. Now will you in some subsequent issue tell me where to look and in what version of the Bible I can find such reading. I have looked some in my Bible. My Bible says that the sleep of the laboring man is sweet, that in all labor there is profit every where look. If the Bible don't say that work of itself is a blessing, it brings blessings in its performance. Death q mean the death of the fiesh) and work were both sent because of sin and have wrought more good to the human family than all else. They are the penalties of disobedience and think God knew his business when he sent them. I am in favor of abol- ishing' capital punishment not be- cause it is wrong but because 1t is sometimes wrongly administered, but the workhouse is all right. don't see how any one can enjoy work who looks at 1t as a curse, but if we take everything that God sends as he wants us to I think we shall find they are blessings.
