MEXICO AS A .REPUBIIG'

Mexico's history as ssrephblfca began ninety-one years ago today, when Gen Iturbide, who had been chosen Emperor of Mexico and had taken the title of Augustin l.. was forced to abdicate. The war for free dom from Spain began in 1910. and after a struggle Of eleven years Itur- bfde decided the conflict in favor of the patriots. and made triurnphal entry into the City of Mexico.

THE MODERN NOVEL }

rT-S HE EDITOR, HAVING spent some odd
 hours the past winter in reading a number of contemporary works Of fiction, feels moved to ask his readers and brother newspaper men what they think Of the mod ern novel anyway.
 The old time novel took "a very high moral tone. The hero was a frank faced and clear eyed youth, who struggled against fate and cir Ecnms tance, and who fell in love with a high minded girl. Finally they married and lived happy for ever after.
 Marriage now is apt fo be a rather carl Y in Ecioent in the story The hero has a fatal ea- |pacity for picking out the girl he didn't really want. ThisSof course was not due to his own lack ofs brsins, but to some fatefuI decree of physical passion, which he couldn't help Af-s forward he discovers that his wife is nobody Around in the next street is a pure and high ideal of femininity, whom he should have se- lecfed in the first place Hence ructions
 Sex feeling is big element in human life but it is not everything As life grows more complex with it's struggles of business, society politics, great many other interests meet and clash and create dramatic situations worthy Of fine fictionaI treatment. The best fiction writ CTS are giving more and more prominence to these other aspects of life
 Ten years ago the railroad station news stands were covered with long libraries of pa per 10 and 20 cent novels. Now they are apt |to be put under the counter, while the news dealers display newspapers and illustrated magazines. It is comparatively rare today to see man reading novel on the train. Per- haps one trouble is that modern writers have given the sex motive such morbid promf- hence that it surfeits healthy minded people. As some one has said the modern novel is too erotic, neurotic, and tornmyrotie!

LENTEN ABSTINENCE HELPS
 SPIRIT RULE THE BODY

WSEW PERSONS observe the rigors Of the old I time Lent, s'black fasts,n as they were called by some. History records that in an eiefat days armies and cities were reduced to starvation during Lent, while having plenty of flesh food which they were disciplined as to refuse
 Historians also observe that some Of the ald Lenten laws were aimed quite much to promote the prosperity of the fish trade as to assistin true rel igious culture. So the decline of asceticsn does not invariably mean a lack ef religious feeling
 Edward VI of England, desiring to recon cile his subjects to somewhat sfrieter observ- ance of Lent, very seIlsibly remarked that ab- 'silnence from meat saves much flesh and en- courages the use of fish In these times Of high cost meat. the family that observesLen accord ing to the older ideas will gain not merely the benefits that come from sell scipline but may learn that one can do very will on substitutes for meat.
 The constant i'm prov ement of refrigerating and Transportation facilities make fish, oysters, and other sea foods more generally available Ihan formerly But conapara lively few fani- lies cook fish nicely Too often 1t is merely dried in the frying pan, a loathly object: At seashore hotels where these arts are studied. appstizfng sauces are used, and the eonstan nl succession of fish food is usually popular
 NO doubt there are still left q good many people who mod fly their diet d good deal during this period of fasting Let no one deride their abstinence if they find it helpful. Any forrn of se1f-control makes one more truly the master Of his own life, and it reduces the sway Of the Heshiy instincts which so often are foe to haiz man usefu1ness and ambition E

No City Is Really Clean
 Until It Has Clean Water

X CLEAN CITY will be beautiful city. 4 A Spring is here. Clean up Clean up cellars. door yards and alley ways. Clean the streets Paint where paint is needed These things can be done at once, and should be in the interest of health and mind
 But Bridgeport never will be really clean until if has supply of clean water
 The Bridgeport supply is probably as good as any supply of surface water No surface water supply is fit to drink, fit to wash the body in, or fit even 10 wash clothing in.
 One of Bridgeport's leading laundrIes re- gently printed in Tho Farmer an advertisement Of it's business, from which the following is taken:
 Perfect sanitary eonditions maintained at all times. City consfdered by most people in one million salIons nsosafIlIy IS sUByI1CTED TO A s PIsecIsss sEEoHE F 1s E Bridgeport, among it's other facilities for keeping clean, has two great swimming pools; one in private hands, the other operated by an institution devoted to the welfare of young men.
 Those who keep these tanks clean and ready for use would not think of filling them with city water until it had been subj Jecfed to Ia purifying and filtrating process.
 Custom makes people do strange things
 Many persons freely take into their mouths and stomacFs WATER THAT HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO PURIFYING AND FILTRATING PROCESS. who would think 1t anitary to wash the outside of their abodies or even their clothing, in the. same water.

NECESsARIEs FIRST

r@-% HE PLANS FOR beauflfying Bridgeport
 are conspicuous for their great cost and their unproductive character, truly beautiful Bridgeport must begin with munici- palization of the public utilities, water, gas and electric lights.
 ss From these three utilities an immediate revenue of almost $f 800 900 would be obtain ed; $50OOOO of which would be profit
 The debt incurred would be productive; that is, 1t would pay It's own way and some thing besides.
 With these three utilities in it's posses sion. the city would be master Of its gov ernnent and in position fos plan city for the people
 At pre- sent there is too much genuine fear that the goal actually sought is great debt for uIlproductive things, a debt which, would have to be paid too largely by homes.
 A city which spends millions for superfi- eial adornments before owns it's own funda- mental necessities is like woman who goes ragged to buy jevelry.

THE NEW HAVEN CONFERENGE


 E~ORMER GOVERNOR Ro1lin s Noodruff l and Col. ". H. Hall of Willington are two who by their presence at the New Haven conference, showed a desire to rescue the Re- publican party from the disreputable persons who control it's leadership p.
 Governor Woodruff and Col. Hall will give power and responsibility to any novemen mt with which they affiliate The former, while in office, perceived clearly the fiscal condition sof the New Haven and recognized that ifs power for evil was mainly exerted through it's right to issue securities without public super vision. He recommen ended adequate laws 10 protect investors in the company. These laws were not adopted by the General Assembly and he was not renominated- Yet nobody ever gave New Haven investors better advice, nor coun- sel more likely to save them money.
 Col. Hall has enjoyed along legislative ex- perienee- He fearlessly advocates clean poli- ties, and iii the last house never hesitafed to express his views of the Roraback, Eaton po- litical machine.
 There is only one method of reforming a political party from within. Those who at tempt the reform must be able to carry the party primaries, and thus obtain possession Of the party machinery
 Tn view Of recent developments, this ought not to be difficult to men of honesty influence, force and determinations
 The work must be done without much help from the Progressives. Party men are reluc- tant to leave the organization they have sup ported, and when they do so in large numbers, it is usually because they believe the evils are irretrievable that drove them out.

State Board of Health
Hampered for Lack Funds

let the rest of the bread go unbuttered.
(Anny gump knows that" you are
probably saying to yourself) Now, as
to the application of this homely sim,
lie. The State Board of Health is up
against just sVch another proposition
We are almost daily receiving re-
quests by letter, by wire and by per-
sonal application for smallpox VOC
cine points. These applications come
from north, east, south, west and mid
die Georgia; from cities, from towns,
and from rural districts; from private
individuals, from city boards of health
and from county authorities. During
the year just passed, we distributed
$2,62894 worth of points leach point
at wholesale rates costing 10 cents.l
Now, while we realize that our state
is riddled with smallpox, and while We
also fully realize that pest-houses an |
fumigation are under existing condi-
tons practically powerless to prevent
the spread of this loathsome disease
and while we still further realize that
systematic vaccination would undoubt-
eddy prevent smallpox and would save
the state money and its citizens time,
suffering and life itself, still we cant
give what we haven't got. Let it be
understood that we are not question

they give what they haven't got) We
are merely setting forth the Boarls
position, so that when request is re-
fused, the public will know why it is
refused
Due to the fact that the work of the
Board has become better known an
to the fact that experience has shown
that confidence may be placed in the
products of the Boards laboratories
the demand upon our laboratories has
become greater than we can supply
with our present inadequate appropri-
ations which would appear to the
Board to result in the least i'll to the
public" In order not to handicap the
work of the Pasteur, antotoxin, bac-
terra and other departments which
are considered to be of the greatest
importance the Board has decided that
for present smallpox vaccine points
will be given out in the smallest pos
sible quantities, and then only under
circumstances constituting an emery
ency" Under a change made in the
constitution a few years ago (see Hop
kin's Code, Section 656D it is permit
ted to the county authorities to levy
taxes and to pay fer sanitation, ana
certainly if this does not include vac
cine, the merical profession is unac-
quainted with the meaning of the
term" The Board has made arrange
ments to obtain these points at 6 z
cents apiece (the very lowest price
that any manufacturer charges for
them and if the county authorities Sc
desire, the Board will take PLEASURE Il
assisting them to obtain the points a
that price.
