THE SCHOOL BOARD.

The board of selectmen made a wise selection when they determined on six rather than twelve as the number of men to constitute the school board to have charge of the consolidated schools. In making this choice, the board, following the sentiment of re- cent meeting of the boards of educa- ton of the town, as to making the board nOnpartisan, but it reduced the number from twelve to six. It has been the experience of those familiar with the work of such a board that small bodies work better, and that a committee of such size brings better results. Other and much larger cities have tried big committees, and have found them unsatisfactory, with the result that they are reducing the number A small committee will prove more efficient and the securing of a majority will be more easily accom- pIshed
 An equal number on the board should eliminate partisanship from the conduct of the schools. There is no better place for it to be dispensed with. Better schools, a uniform course of study, the same textbooks. and the same schooling for all pupils are what the board should strive for in better ing the conditions and improving the efficiency, while the cost of running the schools, it has been figured out, can be greatly reduced under consOli- dation. The best men qualified for the position, that the town has, should be elected in each caucus.

THE CEMENT INDUSTRY.

With the great increase in the use of cement in construction work, for foundations buildings bridges. road work and the various other uses to which it is put the statistical records of the United States naturally show that the production, consumption and exportation have greatly increased, and, with it all. there is a decided in crease in importation.
 The United States is apparently leading the world in the production of cement for industrial purposes. The latest figures available in the bureau of statistics with reference to produc- tion in various parts of the world, places the production in this country in 1910 at IS million barrels, an in- crease from 8 million in 1890 while the value has risen from million in 1890 to 69 million in IS1G. Exported were 76,055 barrels in 1900 to 2,971,474 in 1910. the value increasing over S4,000, ,000. The importation of cement in 1912 seems likely to drop to one twentieth of that in 1907. The cement in question, which is chiefly of the class designated as Portland cement, is produced by burning a finely ground artificial mixture, containing essential ly lime, silica, alumina and iron oxide in certain definite proportions. Penn sylvania is by far the largest producer of cement, about one-third of it being produced there. Panama now takes over 65 per cent. of the cement ex- ported from the United States, nearly two million barrels having been sent there in 1911, while various countries of North and South America took the remainder. While the canal has been the outlet for a great quantity of the cement, its use throughout the country is being greatly increased each year, while Cuba. Canada and Mexico use large quantities.
 It is interesting to note that, despite the big increase in demand occasioned by the canal and other constructive work. the manufacturers are able to meet it.

CAUTION TO AuTolsTs,

Every now and then the Automobile Club of America sends out notices of caution against places where speed traps, mufiier cut-outs and traffic reg ulations are to be found. In the last list there are thirteen Connecticut towns included which means that or dinarily no attention has to be paid to the law in other places in the state, or the authorities take no part in en- forcing the law.
 Those thirteen towns deserve to be listed and be held up to the view of the whole state and not alone the auto drivers. If there are thirteen towns in the state that are not afraid 10 enforce the law concerning autos, it is only natural to presume that those very towns are pretty good places to live in, because they un- doubtedly enforce the law in general.
 Why an auto driver should have any more right to violate the law than any other class of citizens is hard to understand.
 The caution notices applying to but thirteen towns out of the 16S does not spedh very well lOI Lue SLdJe III gen. eral, nor the auto drivers either, for the notices are simply an invitation to violate the law elsewhere How little the automobile law is respected can be seen almost any day. There is speed ing wherever the opportunity offers muller cut-outs are freely used and there are very few drivers who pay the least attention to a still electric car. Cars slam through the business section of the city, regardless of traf- f1c or people. Auto driving and riding are seemingly care free as far as the law is concerned.
 The thirteen cities and towns, which include Berlin, Darien, Greenwich Groton, Hartford. Meriden. New Lon don. Noroton, Norwalk. Rldgeheld, Rowayton, Westbroolc and Winsted. have set an example to the rest of the state. Auto regulations amount to nothing if they are not enforced. The law should be all the caution necessary flor the autoists who are ordinarily in the class of law respecting citizens.

Great Aid in the Dairy

Professor Deans first advice to dairy men is-"Clean the pails, cans and sepa- rators thoroughly, at least once or twice a day."
 Soap and water remove surface dirt but they do not thoroughly remove all the little germs which sour and taint the milk. The greatest of all cIeansers is Gold Dust washing powder. It not only removes all the visible dirt and grease, but goes deep after every trace of impurity, and leaves the milk pails, cans and bottles really clean, wholesome and safe. Moreover, it does the work more quickly and easily than any other cleanser known.

CERTAINTY AGAINST UNCER-
 TAlNTY.

If anyone in Massachusetts was re- serving his decision between MT. Taft and Mir. Roosevelt, he ought to have no trouble in reaching it after hearing the recent speeches by the two men. Their utterances should not leave the least shadow of doubt as to which man is fit, and which is unfit, for the high est office in the land. They are as different in their sincerity as it is possible to imagine
 President Taft did not lower the level of his office by calling names in his talk to the Bay state people He took up, one by one. the various wick ed charges which had been made against him and the administration, and exposed the falsehood in each one, He showed that a gentleman could re- tain the dignity of his office and yet refute the untruthful charges made against him. He did not avoid any of the charges but answered each and every one and showed the motive of his opponent in making them, in no uncertain terms. He proved his as sertions.
 On the other hand, ex-President Roosevelt confined himself to fault finding, attacked without proof the statements of the president and re- sorted to the practice of calling names. His attitude was nasty, especially so when he referred to the president as biting the hand which fed him. This particular expression left no doubt that Roosevelt considered him self the big boss with motives as base as any against whom he has been associated and now repudiates because they are unfriendly to him. He made no answer to any of the presidents charges, except to deny, and confined his speeches to heaping abuse and appealing to the disabilities of the crowds. He offered nothing to con vince and as the people have found out it is facts that they want and not fiction in reaching their decision. The speeches have no doubt won many votes for President Taft.
 The contest has shown that the pres ldent faces the issues and there is no uncertainty where he stands. The ex- president began his campaign by breaking his solemn promise he has avoided the real issues for personali- ties, and devoted his time to fault finding rather than giving any reason for the people to understand with certainty just where he does stand or where he will be in the future. It is certainty against uncertainty,

LA FRANCE.

There was more than ordinary in terest attached to the arrival of the big new French steamship La France for several reasons. It is at a time when the world is yet in mourning for the loss of the great Titanic and it's passengers. The new ocean greyhound is the largest French ship and the fastest It is noticed that the lesson from the Titanic was protited by, and the lifeboats and rafts in it's equip ment would more than accommodate it's passengers and crew. It also fol- lowed the southern lane and sacrificed time to insure safety.
 It brought as a gift to the country and memorial to Champlain, the dis coverer, at whose tercentenary cele- bration it will be unveiled a bust of La France. a master work of art by the best of French artists. The vel come of the new liner. equipped ac- cording to the latest dictates, should not overshadow the gratitude felt for the memorial brought here, as typify- ing France by a delegation of the prominent men of that country. Hon. or has been done to Champlain in this country, but il is fittingly proper that his native land should add it's memo rial to the founder of New France, though his dream never came true. It will always be cherished as one of the rich memorials of the country, which has proven to be a greater ma ton than the political empire of New France could ever have been. The countries, however, are united, and have long been so, with common duty to perform. These memorials in which this country is so well remem- bered, serve to keep alive the memory of the great men who are responsible for it's early history and it's great suc- aasc

LEE & osGooD GUARANTEES RHEUMA FOR
 RHEUMATISM

What chance does any sufferer take when RHEUMA is guaranteed to ban ish rheumatism, lumbago, gout and kidney ailments, or money back?
 Why not investigate this offer; talk to The Lee & Osgood Co.,, about it. RHEUMA surely does drive rheumatic poison from the system, brings swol- len joints back to normal and relieves agony in two days.
 People so crippled with rheumatism that they could not walk have been absolutely freed from the iron grasp of the demon, rheumatism, with less than half a dozen 50-cent bottles A few hours after the first dose, RHEU- MA begins to dissolve the uric acid and drive it from the body through the natural channels.
 Everybody can afford RHEUMA- the price is only 50 cents @ bottle; and the dose is small

CULTIVATE NEATNESS.

Tidiness is one of the most attrac- tive of feminine qualities. It is also one of the rarest. Early and persistent must be the training which carries the girl into womanhood with her bump of neatness" well developed.
 Unless inherently fastidious during school days, she is liable to drift into careless habits which she never out grows.
 One girl may have a trick of leaving shoes about her room. As a child she was permitted to do this, and as she grows older the untidy custom was never abandoned for the simple reason that she herself did not notice any thing unusual about it. and probably nobody else took the trouble to correct her Another slovenly habit is leav- ing a bunch of combings in the comb or on the dressing table Constant vigilance on a woman's part is neces- sary in these small matters if she would be thought really tidy.
