TOWN REPRESENTATIVES,.

Sight cannot be lost by the voters 1f the responsibility which rests with them in contributing to the success of the coming general assembly and the Gonduct of state business for the next two years. The demands are that Connecticut must look well to it's af- fairs. that it must replace extraya>- gance with economy and that it must 16e alert to the expeditions and eff cient handling of all matters which come before it.
 To do that the candidates on the republican ticket have been nominated. From the top to the bottom, from Judge Holcomb for goyernor to George tIE Hinman for attorney general, there arc men of qualification and peculiar fitness for 1audalole administration, of tho affairs Of the commonwealth.
 It is likewise important that the leg islature should be made up of rep sresentative citizens. In the nomina- stion of Albert J. Bailey and Joseph H. Henderson, men who have been a suc- cess in their own business have been chosen. They are qualified to repre- ssent Norwich credifably and take care of rs interests at Hartford as they
 deserve. Norwich needs the sound and sensible representation they are pre- pared to give.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
 THE HOUSEWIFE.


 An excellent housekeeper declares that she saves all the scraps of toilet and ivory soap and when she has a pint or more she puts them into a granite pan with half a cup of water and melts 1t slowly on the back of the stove Then she adds an equal quan- tity of coarse yellow coarnneal and when well beaten together she molds into hot cakes. Nothing is better for cleaning, whitening and softening the hands, especially the childrens' hands, which become soiled at school and play.
 To remove hot water marks from japanned trays. use sweet oil. Rub it in well till all the marks disappear, then polish the tray with flour and a soft cloth.
 When packing plaited skirts for a journey. haste the plaits down, lay them straight and they will not need pressing when you arrive.
 A good place to pack necessary bot ties of liquids is to place them in a shoe. They are less likely to be broken and if they are the shoe will absorb nearly all of the contents and clothing will not be seriously injured.
 A delicious and cheap desert is ma ie by pouring the juice of grapefruit over sliced bananas. They should be well chilled and served in tall glasses with powdered sugar. One large grapefruit will serve eight people. Of course, nc cream nor lemon juice is needed with this.

NO FIREMAN AssENTEErsM.

Referring to the congressional con test in the Second district the New York Herald OF Sunday declared that Richard F. Freeman was being tat tackled because as sergeant major of the Connecticut infantry he did not go to the Spanish war. resigning in August, 1SaS."
 To those who served with him in the Spanish war and who by virtue of his office was seen by them every day, nothing could be more amusing ] As 8 matter of fact Major Freeman was the first man mustered into the Third regiment of Connecticut Volun- tteer infantry ofthe United States army in June 1898. There was no absen- teeism. He wasn't discharged until thirty days after the peace protocol was signed. He has since been com rnander of Camp George M, Cole, s. W. ". and has delivered many memo rial addresses at the invitation of Grand Army posts.
 Records successfully combat any statements to the contrary. That he faithfully performed every service re- quired of him then is an established fact andi there is every reason for placing full dependence upon him as can0ldafe Tor repreSenIdCTNe m con- eress He stands first of all for the interest and welfare of the district He represents principles which are necessary if such are to be safeguard ed and he has the ability and courage to represent the Second district as it should be represented.

 Mothers can rest easy after giving California Syrup of Figs" because in a few hours all the clogged up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again.

No diff ference what ails your little one-if full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stomachache, bad breath, remember, a gentle 4inside cleansing should al- ways be the first treatment given Full directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a fifty cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" then look carefully and see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Company" We make no smaller size Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.

OVERCOME WASTE BALLOTS.

Many thousand ballots are going to be cast insthis congressional district on Tuesday. in addition to those votes which are registered upon the voting machines. At each and every eIec- tion there are hundreds which are thrown out because of a lack of proper
 understanding as to how they should be marked to comply with the law
 Such has been. and it is always like
 ly to be to a, certain extent, one of
 the great troubles with the Australian
 ballot. It is a condition which should
 be avoided as much as possible and such lies in the power of the indi- vidual vote to overcome.
 It is useless to cast "a ballot. straight
 or split. which is going to be thrown
 out. The necessity exists of getting the correct instruction which will insure each and every ballot being counted as desired. TO do that the
 ballots must be marked in accordance
 with the law and every voter who has
 the least suspicion that he is not prop erly posted should make sure of his situation.
 It must be remembered that a straight ticket calls for a crossmarlz x in the circle at the head of the party ticket and it must be within the circle. A split ticket must have no such mark within any circle, but ! must have cross in the space before each candidate for whom the ballot it to be cast. However simple such | may appear to be a great number
 of people have lost their votes through failure to understand and take the l necessary precautions. Where doubt exists a sample ballot should be se- cured and correct method of mark l ing learned. Likewise any unfamiliar with the voting machines should try | them out today while they have pIen- ty of opportunity to use them and ask Lquestions.

One hundred and thirty-eight wears ago today the United States established its first gun factory at Springfield, Mass, when cannon as well as muskets were made for the Continental army. Soon after it established another factory at Harper's Ferry. In 1774 the British Government prohibited the eXporta- ton of arms to the American col onies but this act did not disheart- en the restless colonists who mum bered. among themselves hundreds of expert gunsmiths and cannon borers. In nearly all the colonies cannon were being bored by private individuals and when war broke out there was a remarkable aSsoRs- inert of brass and iron guns of the smooth bore muZzel-loading type. The best of these was an 1e-pound- CT which could throw a round shot from enc to two miles, These guns were from five to eight feet in length and it was with such ord nance that Washington equipped tho forts around New York. Some of these guns had been captured from the British and others were made by the colenists,-but the less of these guns and the evacuation of New York forced upon the Con- gross at Philadelphia the necessity of establishing a government cam non factory at once. This cannon factory was one of the first insti- tutions established by the C9nti- mental Congress and some of the very best artillery of that day was made by the inventive genius of Americans.

col oRApo NEEDS .RELIEF.

i More than Colorado is interested in fhe decision which the government will make relative to the situation in Col orado. It has been sufficiently lengthy to be terminated through an adjust Inent, but such is not indicated.
 Efforts have been made by the state which proved a failure. The govern anent has established peace there through the nlacing of federal troops and endeavors have also been made to have the operators and the miners get together under g. truce but such has been unsuccessful under the exist ing terms.
 Now it is proposed and it is under consideration, that the government withdraw the troops which have proved such a salvation to the law and order of that state, or that the government close the mines, under the contention that federal troops cannot be maintained in Colorado indefinitely.
 What either step would mean is cas- fly imagined. The state militia. is ap- psrentiy no better able to handle the situation today than it was when it gs-~4s kzaAa sn EEn nTFk place. and to

SHERIFF BROWN, BUSINESS
 MANAGER.

When it comes to giving lnfofmaEon to the public, it is well to go close to the facts. Figures do not lie, but they can oftentimes be made to represent conditions which are entirely different from those actually existing.
 For instance it has been advertised by the democratic candidate for sher- fir that the cost of running the jails of the county for 1912 is $14,449.4S. Ihe inference which this is expected to carry with it is that such is a burden on the county.
 As a matter of fact the county re- port for 1912 shows that the expendi- ture for the jails was $14,057.87. Dur ing the same period the income through the jails was $15.142.23 show ing that as a result of the conduct of the two institutions under the direc- ton of Sheriff Brown there was sur plus of $1,0s4.36. In other words the jails cost the county nothing, but through the businesslike management they contributed over $1.000 to the county treasury.
 Furthermore such work as has been turned out by the prisoners at the jails has been no handicap to outside labor, but it is a credit to New London coun-
 " ment as that which has been and is being furnished by Sidney A. Brown The same business ability is manifest ed in the purchase of supplies. With the exception of meat, the provi- sions for the jails are secured as 9
 good economist would buy from many sources and at right prices. There are no favorites.
 Sheriff Brown has established a rec ord in office which cannot be under mined by any such misrepresentation He is no novice at the job. His stand ing and management make it mani fest to the voters of New Londo1 county that he is the man for tht place. It is no time to change certain. ty for uncertainty. Sheriff Brown i! 1 an asset of the county and for thu l assurance of honest, efficient and bus 1 inesslike administration of the dutie l of the shrievalty he should be re } elected.

'THEN-and-NOW

Today the United States has two of the greatest gun factories in tEe world the celebrated Krupps, not excepted At the Washington Navy Yard the famous 14-inch naval gun is made and at Watervliet, New. York, is turned out the Is -inch-- sea-coast defense gun whose eff fective range is miles and which can, throw a projectile 21 miles. The maximum energy of this gun is ss, GOO foot tons. This monster is 4S feet and 2:e inches long, the projectiIe is feet, inches long with steel penetration of 42.3 inches. The cost of firing one shot is $l,000 and weight of the rife without the- carriage is 126 tons. To cast this gun more than 200 cannon Of the 1S-pounders used in 17IS would have to be melted down. Wash ington did not have enough cannon in his whole army at any one time to make one of these big guns. All the leading powers of EUrnpe nave bigger guns but none of them. not even the 42-centimeter Nhrupp siege guns surpass this gun in energy. Our naval and sea-coaSt defense guns represent today the high water mark in cannon making and they are remarkable illustrations of how far inventive genius has progressed in gun-making from the days of the American Revolution and that. too, in the face of the fact that thirty years ago the big guns in this country was not greatly su- perior to what it was in the days of Yorktown.

ARE YOU FULL
 OF URIC ACID?
Health Insurance for Meat Eaters

A well known authority states that the blood of every meat eater in America IS filled with uric acid, the greatest foe to the kidneys.
 The kidneys fight uric acid, something they were never meant to do. The result is they become weak from overwork, they eEet sluggish. the eliIninative tissues clog and the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 Let kidney trouble develop and it will lead to such fatal diseases as Dropsy and Briglt's Disease
 Nearly all rheumatism headaches, liver trouble, nervousness. constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness and bladder disorders come from weak, sluggish kidneys You can help the weakened kidneys and put them in good working order again by getting from your druggist about five ounces of Rheunnasalts take two tea spoonfuls in a glass of water before break fast each morning and in a few days your Kidneys will perform their duties in a perfect manner.
 RheurnasaIts fiushes the clogged kid neys and stimulates them to action It cleans out the stomach and inteSttnes of all poisonous matter and leaves the iptes- tinal canal clean and sweet.
 Rheumasalts Is very inexpensive. If acts quickly without gripping. or nausea Delicious to take--delightfully efferves- cent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Fail to Impress.

MT. Editor: I received through the mail the progressive endeavor to show me why I should support the progres- sive candidates. I don't just under stand why should be asked to vote for a lot of defunct republican poli- ticians and ex-ibosses and when the progressive party put up men that are not tainted with past political records for bosses they will be consistent with the doctrine they are trying to make us believe they stand for. I don't want any yellow front or skim milk in mine and as far as the county jails and other county institutions are con- cerned they are making just as good showing today as they did when the present progressive candidate for sher- if was running things. I can stand the war and income tax on top of the "A 1-2 mills tax just as long as they can and look pleasant, but it breaks my heart to think Teddy, the big boss came to Norwich and did not call and see us.

THE HOT FOOT BATH.

There is nothing like hot foot batn to tranquilize the nervous system af- ter a siege of prolonged study, literary labor or other intellectual activity at night. The bath should be taken ey- cry night. for about ten or twelve mir : utes, before going to bed, and the water should be as hot as can be borne. Let the water come well over the ar- l<les. It will cause the blood vessels in. the feet to fill and afford almost instant comfort and soothing effect, as it withdraws blood pressure from the overstimulated brain. This induces re- taxation and eases the mental tension. quieting the nervous system, so that sleep is promoted.
 It is necessary to keep the water I'D to the highest temperature at which it can be borne for at least ten minutes, by adding hot water as the tempera . ture of the foot bath becomes lower,
