A GREEN LUNCHEON.

A green luncheon is an attractive en- tertainment If you have a lace cen terpiece or tablecloth, place light green silk under it and let your candle shades be of green and the candle sticks be entwined with delicate green leafage. Put a loose bed of maiden hair or other fern in the corners of the table.
 A Duree of green peas may be serv- ed in bouillOn cups with little whip ped cream on top. The sauce tartare that is served with any delicate fish may be sprinkled with parsley The vegetables served with lamb or chick en should be green, and the salad should be one of green lettuce leaves and mixed green vegetables.
 The green idea may further be car ried out in the menu if for your sweet you have whipped cream sprinkled thickly with pistachio. Any little cakes may be iced with green, and there may be creme de menthe and other green bonbons.
 This conceit is a very pretty one if dainty and varied shades of green are used upon the table.

Q.-Are we to accept literal flood, or does Genesis, vi, vii, viii, give an account of spiritual flood7 (R. E.).
 Answer-Scientific thought is com ing more and more into harmony with the Scripture teachings as to the oc- currence of an actual flood at about the time indicated in the Genesis ac- count From the latest investigations and researches, the conclusion has been formed that this earth was, in times remote, a part of the sun, and that it was thrown off, or detached, from the central orb in the form of gas. In course of time, this Whirling mass would cool and condense, and resolve itself into solids and liquids with the central mass as a nucleus around which several canopies or rings, similar to the rings of the planet Sat nrn, were developed. These would condense and in turn would eventually be precipitated to the earth one by one. Scientists and the Bible agree that there were six of these "cano- pies" and these, coming to the earth in their regular order, formed the six creative days or epoehs as narrated in the first chapter of Genesis; the last one being of water, brought about the deluge, or Noah'S flood.

SIZE OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

At this time. when Norwich is ap- preaching the date when the commit tee on consolidated schools is to be chosen, ;he experience of other cities as to the size of the committee in charge throws valuable light on the subject The tendency at the start, according to the sentiment expressed by the boards of education, is to have large committee, twelve being favor ed. The selectmen who determine the number have reached no decision yet.
 The experience in Boston is that a small committee is more efficient and better results are accomplished when a few direct the work. so that re- duction to nine on the committee is being advocated. Providence has thir- " on it's committee, with the result that the executive committee of that body does all the work, the big body being unwieldy. Five actually do the work there and an effort is being made 70 secure 8 reduction to that num- Der.
 It is a sad commentary that playing politics occupies too much of the time of the school committees. Fighting for supremacy takes the time which should be devoted to improving the schools. The big cities have found out the advantage of small and prop erly equipped committees, so that from them Norwich has the opportunity to profit by the mistakes and experience of other and larger cities.

cHILDREN's scRAPRooKs.

ScraphOok collecting Is a form of nursery diversion that has fewer ad herents than it once had. Time was when the youngsters devoted much time and thought to gathering material with which to fill the books and who would succeed in having the best col lection was a matter of heated compe- tition. 1t seems a pity that this form of collecting should have dropped into disfavor, for if rightly directed it may be the means of developing traits in the child that would otherwise lie dor mant
 In the selection of clippings for a chitd's scrapbook a large proportion of space should be allotted to verse
 The attention of the child will thus be directed to the many beautiful ideas that are clothed in musical measure.
 Numbers of grown folks can say that many a noble sentiment has become fixed in their thoughts which would perhaps have escaped them had it not been presented in the beautiful garb of poetry, and had not the making of scrapbooks been one of the delights Of their childhood.

PRICES ARE ADVANCING.

It is regrettable to note that the price of beef and other meat is again on the jump and that a good advance is in prospect now that the prosecu- ton of the packers is over and they have been found not guilty. Just pre- vious and during the inquiry and pros ecution prices tumbled and there was but the verdict has taken the bars down and the cost of defending the suit can now be easily regained. h this connection, it is interesting to note that retail dealers in the metropolis claim that while there are less cattle received because of the flood in the Mississippi valley. that the conditions are not such that there should be such a stiff advance, for while the floods may delay the cattle, the production is not cut off Following. as it does. in the line of higher prices to add to the high cost of living, it is interest ing to note that it follows the action of the Standard Oil company, which, after it's dissolution and reorganization under the direction of the government soon announced an increase in the price of oil. and followed it up with the announcement of 290O per cent. dividend. Had the flood occurred dur ing the trial of the packers, it IS more than likely that prices would not have been affected.

CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE.

That Uncle Sam has won the con f1dence of the people in the establish ment of the postal savings banks is evidenced by the deposits that have been made throughout the country, the total of s20,000,0 GOO brought from hiding places and deposited in the postal banks, being only about one half of what it is expected the deposits will total at the end of the year. Of course the depositors cover a wide territory and have to their credit but little more than the depositors of the Norwich Savings society. vet they have had but a short time to get used to the system, which promises to become a big favor ite. Again, it Is money which has been hoarded up and is now being put into circulation, to result in the depositors getting interest for the first time in thousands of instances, and lending encouragement for further savings. It gives the opportunity for those not desiring to use savings banks. to the same thrift and desire for saving that so pervades the French nation, where savings are kept until some good bond can be secured, and great part of the peasants money Is in that way in- vested.
 What the postal savings system will come to be can be imagined from the fact that less than one-seventh of the postofflces of the country have been designated as postal banks. This shows that the field is large one yet for the development of the system and he placing of it on a profitable basis.

THE LA TOILETTE BOOM.

Among the minor candidates for the presidential nomination by the repub- licans, there is reason to give some attention to the stiff fight which La Toilette is making against Roosevelt. Wherever Roosevelt sets up his camp, there I.aFollette can also be found, making great inroads. for he is a born fighter, and it develops that he has quite a following. North Dakota gave him their support early and will stand by him strong Wisconsin, which twice defeated him for governor before he won. went solid for the senator without Roosevelt's name being men toned In California the strength of the Roosevelt boom seems to be giving way and LaFollette is stronger on the coast than Governor Johnson, one of the seven governors to pick Roose- velt would have people think.
 The LaFollette leaders oppose Roose- welt on the grounds that he Is not a real progressive, but is using the movement to advance his campaign. LHFollette's followers way down in their hearts, know Taft will be the nominee, and it is believed they will be for the president when the proper time comes. The display of strength by LaFollette and the efforts he is making in this campaign are in the interest of his candidacy for the pres idential honors in 1916. Believing that Taft will win out there is need of playing the game to help their own interests when the time comes

IMPORTANT MEEK IN PoLIrlcs.

An important week is opening in the political arena and the choice and instruction of delegates will be the object of the campaign managers. In Illinois the presidential primaries will be held for the first time, and that state is now being talked to from top b bottom by candidates and speakers tn preparation for the test. With the announcement that the Taft managers will be satisfied if they get one-half of the delegates chosen this week, there is the indication that all is go- ing well, despite the strenuosity of Roosevelt and LaFollette. Such gain will give Taft a total of 354 delegates to 112 for Roosevelt
 The state conventions will teem with interest as, New York, Louisiana, Michigan, Kentucky Maine and Yer mont will hold forth. New York, as the primaries indicate. is a Taft state, and it is considered that there will be smooth sailing at Rochester, but there are chances of splits in some of the others. Vermont, though close, will doubtless be for Taft. Maine has a1AONA O LEnhGnGy 4OA INOOSCNC CAAs though one district. at least, will be for Taft. while Kentucky is liable to be about equally divided Michigan Is due for an exciting convention, as . bolting delegation, favoring Roose- welt, will go to that convention
 It is officially announced that there will be 1.O7s delegates in the national convention, who. according to the na- tional committees call, will consist of the following: Four delegates at large from each state and two delegates at large from each representative at large in the congress. two delegates from each congressional district, six dele gates from each of the territories, and two delegates each from the District of Columbia, Alaska.

EASILY MADE.


 One of the most easily constructed toilet set holders as yet designed con sists of a half yard long and quarter yard wide strip of imitation morocco, pigskin or suede. lined with white oil silk or white table oilcloth, the heavier or outer fabric turned over the edge of the inner layer and machine stitched onto it, Stitch edged straps of the lin ing material attached to one-half the surface of the inner side are of a size adapted for holding in place the vari- oUs toilet articles, while at one end is a pocket for the face cloth, and at the other a receptacle for the manicure in strument. Two straps attached to the outer side of the case prevent contents from falling out of it. One strap, go- ing about its narrow side, may be bucllled as tightly as des9red. and the other strap, going from end to end, prevents any article from slipping through those apertures. The outside may be decorated in various ways. Any one who stencils or paints can make 1t very ornamental indeed but a very simple method and one which gives individuality to the convenience is to affix one or more initial letters of metal similar to those formerly used on handbags.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Benefited for Five Years.

Mir. Editor: The account of the death of William B. Phelps of Winsted, as recently given in your paper, stated that MT. Phelps had been III for two weeks, while the fact is his illness was but of two days duration. The report is also made in such a manner as to give the impression that Mir. Phelps was not benefited by Christian Science, though, nevertheless, he de- pended upon it until it was too late to be helped by medicine; while the fact is he was healed some years ago by Christian Science after it having been declared there was no hope for relief from his condition.
 For five years, subsequently,, he had been in the best of health, and on Sunday, the 25th of March, two days before his demise. he attended church and was in his usual good health

Folks Past Fifty
 Must Use CaScarets
What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes, Cas- carsts Are to Weak Rewsls-a .o- Cent Box Will Truly Amaze You.

Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- ton is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as yonth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
 So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels, The bowels must b kept active. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
 Age is not a time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't be usedevery day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and ma tural tonic. One that can be con- stanuy used without harm. The only such tonic is Sascarets and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep.

 This would be all right If the hands were never taken out of the fur cov- ering, but it is impossible when one is going to call or to a reception. One girl wears a loose pair of cotton gloves over her kid ones and pulls them off when entering a house. Easier yet is it to pin a handkerchief inside the huff and prevent soiling the gloves.

 A handsome spring hat in this straw is of pure white. It has a broad up- turned brim which is faced with black velvet. This facing goes to with an inch and a half of the edge of the hat.
 The only decoration upon this hemp hat is a small ornament of white. This is held close together at it's point of contact with the brim, then flares out from the hat. The crown is untrimmed.
