THE COAL SITUATION.

The coal question promises to fur nish plenty of trouble in the future unless some federal action is taken to place the business under control such as the interstate commerce com mission exerts over the railroads. The opinion given at the session of the New England Coal Dealers associa- tion. that similar trouble and continued high prices can be anticipated for next winter is not encouraging It indi- cates a situation on the part of the producers which is directly against the consumer. It means not only that the lesson of the past winter has not been needed but there is no disposi- tion to change the state of affairs The truth of the opinion voiced at the coal dealers. gathering is substantiated by the action of the barons the past week which brought forth the an- nouneement that the mines would be operated but half time because quan- titles of coal are being put on the market at a. lower price.
 This is the trouble with the cea1 sit uatIon- When the mines can be oper- ated for the creation of a surplus to be drawn upon when trouble ensues or the mines are unable to supply the demand, they are closed and the sur plus is not secured, with the result that this spring is liable not to see the us- ua1 reduction in the price of coal and by the curtaiIing of production the prices can be kept up. Thus the mar ket is manipulated against the con sumer at a time when conditions do not warrant it. This evidence of mon.. opolistic tendencies furnishes the new administration much food for thought and action

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

Many excellent provisions were con tained in the immigration bill which was vetoed by President Taft on the grounds of the literacy test although he realized that there were clauses in the bill which were worthy of be- ing enacted into legislation. The strength which it had in congress and the fact that it covered many good features means that the forces back of it are again going to sooner or later urged it's adoption.
 With a recognition of it's merits, the New York Post says: Tt is an interesting speculation what the chances of passing a bill similar to the Dillingham; Burnett measure would be under the present administration. The fact that the name of Woodrow Will son appears upon the general commit tee and the educational committee of the National Liberal Innni nigra ton league, an organization which has aI- ways been in the forefront of the fight against restriction, and to whose ef- forts the failure of the recent bill must be attributed in very large measure, would indicate that the prospects for restriction are not of the brightest. In the new congress the representation from the cities has been strengthened and that circumstance, too, would mill itate against any drastic change in OUT present policy-''
 Though the literacy test was the cause of the defeat of the Dillingham; Burnett bill, it should not operate to the detriment of the other good points which new bill might embrace It will however be some time before the matter can get much attention

NERVOUS RUNDOWN"
Insomnia, Mal-Assimilation, Mal-Nutrition Even Colds, all Emanate from Same Cause.

Some time in the life of nearly every active man and woman subjected to the strain of modern business and so- cial life. comes a period when the phY- sical machine does not react from the strain of excessive work and pleasure seeking-a time when rest. sleep and food are not enough to restore natural strength and vigor.
 BIOPLASM {Bower) serves the most useful purpose here by giving natural aid, preventing serious, nerv ous break down known as Neurasthe- Dia or nervous exhaustion." Ali ether form of Neurasthenia, more acute and rapid in progress occurs In young persons in state of maturing oftener in young women than men.
 A well-known doctor writing from Lake Placid. N. Y. reported extracts from a letter received from grate full mother.
 T cannot express my gratitude and wonder at the change in E--. All her tired and languid feeling is gone. She gets up in the morning refreshed, vivacious and happy as a lark
 This physician further stated that this young lady rapidly declined in health for a year. was threatened with acute Neurasthenia of high grade. She has had private and sar atoriun treatment of the best kind but without check until he prescribed BIOPLASM a few weeks before.

MENACE TO ANY ciTY.

If Norwich has 1rebug he cannot be discovered too soon and placed where he will not be a steady source of danger to the community He is a menace to the city as long as he goes undiscovered. There have been sew eral mysterious fires within the past grounds for the belief that they had an fncendiary origin. Such being the case the strictest vigilance is due for the capture of the guilty party, who may be actuated by a craze for a fire and the desire to see the horses run, or whose motive may be meanness and a desire for destruction of the property of others. Such a person has no re- gard for his feIlowman, is no re- specter of the property of others, does not hesitate in the satisfying of his mania to endanger life and limb, and the quicker he can be lodged in place of safety the better for the city.
 There is no greater terror to a city than 8 f1rebug and the experiences of this city are nothing compared with what Waterbury and Springfield have gone through in endeavoring to fol- low the path of the torch. It is an experience which no city desires, an abnormal condition which should re- ceiye the quickest check possible and the proper punishment applied both as a guide and as a lesson. A firebug is one of the most unwolcomed visitors who thrusts himself upon a city and his career of crime Is bettered by being shortened.

THE WEDDING RING.

In the Isle of Man the wedding riag was formerly used as an instrument Of torture. There once existed a. custom in that island according to which an unmarried girl who had been offended by man could bring him to trial and if he were found guilty she would be, presented with a sword rope and a ring.
 With the sword she might cut off his head. with the rope she might hang him or with the ring she might marry him. It is said that the latter punish ment was invariably inflicted.
 The wedding ring was anathema. to the early puritans, who regarded per sonaI adornment as one of the ma ny snareS of Satan. In the old English marriage service it was the custom for the bridegroom to put the ring on the thumb of the bride. saying: "In the Name of the Father then on the next finger, saying, and the Son. and then on the second finger, saying and of the Holy Ghost finally on the third finger, with the word Amen"
 The ring was left there, because. es the Sarum rubrnc says, "a vein pro- ceeds thence to the heart" In the marriage service the ring is placed npon the third finger the in- vocation to the trinity being under stood

FILLING OFFICES.

How much the threatened break be- tween President Wilson and Chairman McCoombs of the democratic national committee is going to amount to is among the uncertainties. It is posi- tive however, that patronage is going to be one of the important questions with which the new administration must wrestle. President Wilson is strong advocate of civil service reform, which means a recognition of merit in office and how far that may be applied to the filling of offices will depend upon the pressure which is exerted. In a few instances Mr. Wilson has made appointments which the senate had refused to confirm for Mr. Taft and there still remains several hun dred of these unified.
 recognition of merit is shown by the remaining of Charles P. Nein as commissioner of labor statistics. the retention of Major General Wood and the remaining of Commissioner Clark for the interstate commerce commits sion. All of these officials have proved efficient government servants and a change at this time would have been against the best interests of their re- spective lines of work. The announce ment Of Postmaster General BurIeson that except for inefBciency, postmas- ters will serve until the expirat tion of their terms is another indication of the policy of recognizing merit until such a time as new appointments come when party pressure will demand dem ocratic incumbents- President Will Soa's attitude in regard to merit how e~cr, is welcomed as a continuatsem of the policy which his predecessor so wisely used He. however. faces a fight to maintain 1t if he is able to do so

nervous disease is more likely to show in some conVulsive disorders-Fits. St. Vitus' Dance, Epilepsy, etc. When children show a loss of nervous bal ance, the BIOPLASM treatment should be commenced.
 LA GRIPPE, COLDS, INSOMNIA, HYSTERIA-alI disorders of the stomach, bowels, kidneys liver and even Tuberculosis, emanate from the same cause.-the clogging and inac- tion of the vital organs. BIOPLASA1 (Bower) is prescribed by thousands of doctors in treatment of these ail- ments. Physicians in all parts of the world know it's virtues and speak of 1t in the highest terms. BIOPLASM (Bower) is absolutely an ethical rem edy. It has never before been offered to the public direct.
 The Bioplasm Mfg. Company, 94 John street, New York City, are the compounders. They publish a book let for free distribution which will tell you all about it's action on disease A copy should be in every household, A postal request will do.

WHERE ACTION IS NEEDED.

Efforts are being made in certain sections go create a. feeling against the republic of Mexico which will keep up the strife and warfare which has existed there for a number of years It also includes an attempt to throw discredit upon the administration of Ambassador Wilson, whose services there throughout the. troublesome pc riod will be relieved as soon as a sue cessor is named. This country's pol icy has been to let Mexico settle her own difficulties. in so far as foreigners were not involved and it is believed that this will be continued The as- sassination of Madero and other high officials is not approved by this cour1- try, but that is a method which is. peculiar to Mexico and understood there.
 Whatever may have been Madero's attitude towards this country it is safe to say that Ambassador Wilson never sanctioned any anti-American feeling. His influence was exerted for the pro lection of the lives of American cit izens and foreigners in the country. He was on the ground and had an opportunity to exert an unbiased iudg- ment as to the best action, but to infer that he was actuated by aiiy mo- tive which was against his own coun- try is without reason. Much has been done to get this country to take an ae tive part in the Mexican affair.". but jingoism has thus far failed to assert any appreciable Influence. Whatever action is taken it should be against permitting organized efforts being made in this country for the creating of future revolutions h the Mexican rerunfc

Here are some of the new colors and shades of familiar colors dressed in their new names, as given by an ac- commodating young saleswoman in a big shop:
 New blue, which is a shade be- tween gems q arme blue and electric blue; dove, which is elephant gray with a brownish tone; petunia, which is of deep reddish hue; miosa, which is almost orange; shrimp. which is the latest pink tone and exactly the color of the water product for which it is named; verdigris, which is a green like the rusty hue of old copper, and chalk, which is the white that is popu- lar now, differing from most white by the absolute lack of even the slightest creamy tint.
 Two exotic shades, just like which there has never been any color before, are the so-called amaranthe and rouge Venetian

NEW HEAD DRESSES.

For some little time past it seemed a. though the popular bands of tulle. jeweled lace and chiffon that swathed the coiffure of every second woman, were gradually disappearing in favor of the head dressed only with it's own simple arrangement of hair, perhaps ornamented with one or two tortoise shell pins or combs.
 But the majority of women seem to feel that some more elaborate decOra- ton of the coiffure shows off their features to better advantage, and this season will see the picturesque drap- cry revived in the coiffure and the unornamented head will be the excep- ton with evening dress.

cOLORING GLOBES.

One can make electric light globes look like frosted glass with alcohol and shellac. Take a little white shellac, thin with alcohol. dip the globe into it and hang to dry. It is a good imita- tion of frosted glass. If a color is de sired. get egg dyes and dissolve the mixture in wood alcohol and mix into it a little shellac. Dip the globes into the mixture and you get a pretty shade If at any time you wish to have the clear globe again the color can be removed by soaking the globe in wood alcohol. This is a clever idea for col bring globes when a color scheme Is desired during a party or entertain ment.
