In regard to the pollution of inland and tidal waters the report says that the legislature will be asked to give the state board of health power to make rules and issue orders to pre- vent pollution This part of the re- this board has been granted authority and has received appropriations to in vestigate the pollution of streams and natural waters of the state without power to remedy. gflsanitary conditions found.

 The increasing population makes a greater demand on our limit ed supply of water and this growing population increases the sewage to be disposed of. The demand for quick removal of human wastes from the limits of thickly settled districts is rec ognizel as a measure of vital impor- tance to the health and well being of the public; but this gives rise almost immediately to problems connected with the pollution of inland and tidal waters which gradually assume such serious proportions that it becomes necessary to enact laws to eliminate

 Typhoid Epidemic.
 The subject of the epidemic of ty- phoid, due to eating oysters and clans, is also taken up in the report, which says that there has been special actiy- ity on the part of the state and na- tionaI authorities combined, to secure such protection for the industry as will relieve the consumers from the danger of contracting the disease from such a source of infection.
 Smallpox Infection centers.
 During the past year there have been 326 cases of smallpox reported in the state from two infection centers, one at Willfmantic and vicinity and the other at Naugatuck. The report goes on to say that the disease has been of mild nature and thus often results in mistaken diagnosis by physicians, or it is not considered nec- eSsary by the patient to consult a phy Sician and the disease is neglected ufl- til it has spread generally throughout the community. The expense of the q quarantine in Naugatuck and WiIi- mantle was s50,00e and the board fa- vors the Minnesota idea of putting the burden of protection upon the indi- Vidual by placarding the premises and warning all persons to get vaccinated, thus eliminating the cost to the pub lie The report states that successful vaccination gives absolute protection against the disease, and it is strange SC many people neglect so certain a preventative.

It is the everyday fault that is so hard to correct. The senseless little things that we do unconscious1y are the most difficult to overcome.
 Surely one of the most common is that of running over the heels of the shoes. For every fault there 7 is of course a cause and an effect. The best way to overcome the effect is of course to remove the cause. Let us see what these causes can be-

 Another cause, tight shoes.

 As to removing the first cause, in an early article am going to give some good corn remedies. Watch for them

 If your trouble is the fourth, there is little you can do. I should advise you in this case to wear small steel soles. These are little pieces of steel that fit the part of the sole worn off and prevent it from wearing down any further. They can be bought at any shoe store or shoemaker's.

The Case of Bessie Wakefield.

1 On March 4, 1914, the State of Con- l nectfcut will be treated to the spec
 tacle of a woman being publicly mur- l dered in the name of good govern
 ment, civilization, higa morals and
 Christianity.
 On that day she will be seized, drag ged from her cell at Wethersf1eld, her
 hands tied behind her, her head GOV
 cred and she will be strangled to l death. Hung by the neck until dead,' ''
 as the law phrases it.
 If she struggles and fights for her
 life, as even drowning kitten would | do, strong jai1ers will grasp her, pin | her hands to her side, hush her fright
 ened screams with a gag and drag her . to the gallows, where stif1ing with horror and convulsed with agony, her l body, made in the image of God will be reduced to. carrion, and her soul, blind with crime which was
 doubtless bred of years of the environ
 ment which society has prepared for her, and probably perverted by an herfdftary taint, will be shot into the outer darkness, or light, which men call eternity.
 Oh, it will be an eIevating sight in this year of Our Lord Nineteen Hun dred and Fourteen. This year whe1 we travel in automobiles and air
 ships, and converse across thousands l of miles, and have hundreds of uni versailles and hundreds of thousands of churches, but still murder women i judiciaIly as three hundred years ago
 did our ancestors, who rode in stage coaches and believed in witchcraft. l We wish that every refined person. every clergyman, every tender wo- man in the State were compelled to | witness that struggle as Bessie Wake field is prepared for the gallows. We wish that judge who pronounced the
 sentence might be compelled to hold her while the iai1aTS fled hands and that he, personally, would have to apply the gag as she fought | and cried for life. And we wish that
 the governor of the state might have to pull the rope at her execution. If that happened, we think there ! might never thereafter be an execu- ton in the State of Connecticut Bessie Wakefield murdered man her husband. We are not familiar with the circumstances. They do not matter. The blacker the crime, the greater the proof of her abnormality her lack of proper perspective and un- derstandfng. Ignorant, uneducated,
 perverted, 1aboring under a thousand foul temptations, she killed her hus-
 band.
 Laboring under no such temptation,
 in the clear shining light of reason
 and good surroundings, education, modern civilization and in perfectly cold blood, the State of Connecticut
 is to murder Bessie Wakefield. And
 it offers a much less mercffuI death
 than she, in her blindness and deprav-
 ity offered her victim. And it offers her months of agonized waiting be-
 fore the final pull of the rope.
 If any good could be accomplished
 by this killing, it might be in a de-
 gree excusable. If the murdered hus-
 band could be brought back to life by
 the process and if his lffs. were worth
 more to society than hers, then we
 might condone this public crime. But
 we know that such is not the case. Al se ss1a sasA depEtye -aaeEs
