Window Drapsries and tho Campaign
Against tho White Plague.
If the worldwide campaign against
tuberculosis is going to be a success it
cannot be too strongly impressed that,
like charity, preventive measures must
begin at home. Fresh air must be OBJ
tanned by each occupant Of every room
in the house. This can never be ac-
complished until housewives realize
that the body Is Of more value than
raiment aud an abundant supply OF
| pure air of more Importance to life
than the maintenance Of the traditional
snow whiteness of a pair Of window
curtains.
The fear Of soiling white curtains
and also OF admitting dust and dirt
into the rooms where it can settle on
furniture and ornaments is quite as
much responsible for the closed win
dow habit as IS the dislike Of drafts.
1t Is hard to overcome prejudice and
harder still to root out an old establish
ed custom, but nevertheless these ele-
mcntary facts Of hygiene should 10

girls in school so that wiser habits OF

Although he was a man Of great ear.
Nestness and seriousness Of purpose.
Carpeaux. one Of the most famous
French s%culptors Of the last century,
had a droll tongue aud a caprlcious
! humor that he vented on lackey and
emperor alike. Lecture Pour Tous re-
lates some amusing anecdotes Of him.
At a reception ut tho Tuilerics Ma
polcon III. engaged in a few inmates
private conversation with Carpeaux.
At its conclusion the young sculptor
was besieged by Il crowd Of courtiers
aud envious rivals, who wanted to
know what the emperor had talked
about.

Some years later, when Carpeaux
had received tho commission to do tho
decorations for the Pavilion dc Florc
Of the TuilcrHs. Napoleon often came

that had been built against the face
Of the building. Occasionally the Ell.
pcror mounted aloft to this improvised
studio, hung between earth and sky.
Ono day Carpeaux, in a particularly
merry mood, told him that when he
wished to rest from his labors no
would make tiny pellets Of clay and
drop them on the heads Of passcrsby.
ITS very amusing" he explained.
People stop and look about them.
They can't imagine where the missiles

the use Of being an emperor"
Napoleon did not forget this remark.
A few months later. when the sculptor
sought a title, the emperor. unable or
unwilling to grant tho request, ex-
claimed:

The Weakness of College Athletics.


 The feverish excitement of athletics. the tendency to professionalism, the ne- glect of real work, these are evils that prejudice many conservative people against the modern college. Yet some- thing worth while must have been done for physical culture in this country, to attract the interest of the imperial com mission just over from Germany to study our college systems of physical training.
 These visitors will find some magnih- cently equipped plants for turning out educated men with sound bodies. These they may we'll copy. But if they look below the surface, they will find, alas, that the principal product is a small group of highly trained athletes for in- ter-oolleglate contests. The other stu dents stand on the side lines and "hol. Ter" This may develop lung capacity. but gives no general exercise.
 If one of the picked band of athletes has sore toe, the newspapers discuss the extent and progress of his ailment. But 300 men In the same university may be so neglecting their physical develop ment, for which these enormously expen- sive plants are really given, that they could not walk five miles without beoom- ing winded. Yet that factis never men, tioned.
 One suggestion of the college athletic reformers, to provide more general physical development of the men, is that no college be allowed to form college teams until the last month of the season and that athletics previously be restrict. ed to inter-club and inter class competi- tions. That would promote more gener- al athletic work, but imagine the uproar such a rule would create
 Why not require every undergraduate to spend a given amount of time each day in some approved athletic sport? Hundreds of college men who now walk out Of the scholastic portals with flabby muscles and disordered nerves would then acquire some physical capital with which to begin their battle with the world d-Hartford Post

Salute.

Hats off, boys, and salute,
 A veteran is passing by, One of those patriots brave and true, Who marched to do or to die With trembling limbs and wrinkled brow Slowly he treads the street, Not as he charged to the cannon's mouth Though q rain of leaden sleet. Hats off, boys, and give a salute, His race is almost run, His comrades all too swiftly fade Like mist before the sun; On history's page and within our hearts Their memories ever live, Of love and admiration, boys, Most freely let us give. Hats off, boys. and give salute, Though years may dim the eye, Yet his heart is loyal and true today As twas in years gone by Give him the love so dearly won, Before his voice is mute, Honor the veteran of sixty-one, Hats off, boys, and salute.

 Will former President Mellen, who re- tired from the New Haven system on Sunday, be accused of responsibility for the fearful death wreck at North Haven on Tuesday morning and arrested for manslaughter as he was after the several New York Division wrecks?

WELCOME, vETERANSI

Today Canaan welcomes the surviving veterans of the old "Second Heavies," |" she famous Litchfield county regiment that was mustered into the service of Uncle Sam fifty-one years ago today, at Camp Dutton, Litchfield, and fought through three years of bloody conflict to the end of the War of the Rebellion.
 Flfty-one years ago they went into the war. young men and mere boys lots of them not old enough to vote many of the m Canaan boys-fred with patriotic ardor. and full of the energy and enthusiasm of youth. Thirty. three years ago they came to Canaan for their reunion-men in the full vlgor of their manly prime. Today they come again old mep, grizzled and grey, with the marks of age upon them they come, on invitation of our citizeps, to accept the service and hospitality of patriotic community who have not forgotten the sufferings and sacrifices they endured in the cause of Freedom, and who esteem it an honor and privilege to entertain the surviving heroes of that grand old historic organization, to which our own town contributed so many of it's own sons
 The old "boys' can have no doubt of the sincerity of their welcome to Canaan They will know, from the moment of their arrival that they are among friends. The committees in charge of the various details of the arrangements have done their work thoroughly and well, and the people of the town have responded nobly to the call for coop eration
 We trust the veterans will enjoy their visit here, and take home with them pleasant memories of Canaan loyalty, Canaan patriotism and Canaan hospi- tality.
