USING CUT OVER LANDS.
(From the Natchez News.

From one section of the state comes
news that much cut-over land is be-
ing used for stock raising purposes.
Results so far attained have been
good, and indications are they will be
better.
This is nothing new but it may be
a straw in the wind to indicate what
Mississippi will be in few years. We
believe it would mean more to this
state if the majority of the same kind
of land was turned over to the same
purpose than one could calculate.
mississippi is one of the leaders
in the live stock industry" is one of
the phrases that would sound mighty
good to us. 1t can be made a fact in
a few years. Why not?

but the influence of the saloons upon
the women is considered bad.
Soon Grows Old.

Soou SfOWS Oius
"The barmaid soon grows DID," says
the report. Sometimes she is old at
%; she is generally too old at thirty"
Her chances Of marriage are small I'M
less she marries the barman or the
manager, and almost the only recourse
left to her is the streets. The num-
Der of women on the London streets
who have once been barmaids is out
of all proportions to the total num-
bers in the trade.
Mrs. Drake writes alphabetically
of the women behind the bars. She
says:
''The barmaid is cheaper than the
barman. She is more industrious,
more sober, more amenable to the
wishes of her employer, less rebellious
against the hard conditions Of public
house life. -aAw No. D-v
There are women, women of fine
character, who earn in the bar a de-
cent and respectable living, and are
not unhappy. There is even a woman
of robust health and temperament,
who finds in the public-house a certain
vocation. The bar is to other wom-
en- immediate ruin.
But all these are exceptions. The
barmaid who is of the majority, al
though she loses nothing of self-re-
spect, yet continues at her post only
in WEAKNESS and loathing, and with
great fear in her heart of that which
the future is to bring"
Wages Same as Domestics.
Wages for barmaids are no more
than domestic servants command in
the United States and the average
working pay is $3.50 to SO week;
in hotels it may rise to $3.50, and for
a head barmaid to $3.50 or even IS.
Board and lodging are always furnish
ed but the girls are expected to
1ress WELL
The barmaid, according to Mrs.
Drake, belongs to the type of normal

SELECTING THE JUDICIARY.

All branches of government should be upon a sound and efficient basis but there is none which calls for proper recognition of merit and quail fications for it's administration more than the judiciary. The Massachu- setts legislature is therefore open to concentrations for the manner in which it turned down the proposition which came before it seeking to have it changed from an appointive to an elective basis.
 As the Boston Transcript finds oc- casion to say in reference to the ju- dietary on the appointive basis: That is now the soun5est and ablest coor- dinate branch of our government. No state has one that is superior and we very much doubt whether any other has it's equal The scandals which not infrequentIy come to the surface where the elective method prevails are unknown here. The men who occupy these high stations are lifted above the passions and the tricks of politics While some are abler than others, we do not believe there is a single wearer of the ern7ine in Massachusetts who does not dispense justice as impartially and as ably as he knows how. Any at tack upon the present system of SC lection must proceed either from ig- norance or very unworthy motives.
 It is for the interests of every state that the judiciary should be made up of the men who are best fitted to con- duct it and experience teaches that such careful selection is not likely to result from the elective method of se- curing judges. The greatest safe guard for the judiciary is afforded by the aDpoi1ntive plan.

How Thin People
 Can Put On Flesh
A New Discovery,

Thin men and women-that big hearty, filling dinner you ate last night what became of all the fat-produefng nouris hment il contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce That food passed from your body like unburued coal through an open grate. The ma terlal was there, but your food doesnt work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.
 Cut out the foolish food and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tab let. In two weeks note the difference Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy stay there fat should be the net result Sargol charges your weak tagnant blood with millions of fresh new red blood corpuscles-gives the blood the carrying power to oenVer ev- cry ounce of fat-making material Tn your food to every part of your body. Sargol. too. mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easily as- similated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to a pounds a month while taking Sargol. and the new nesh stays put. SarEol tablets are sCien- tific cOmbins ton of six Of the best iesh-producing elements known to package are pleasant. harmless and in expensive. and Lee & Osgood and all other druggists in Norwich and vicinity sell them subject to an absolute guar antee of weight increase or money back.

FORESTRY AS A BUSINESS.

A visitor in the south has been crit fcising those states for the lack of in- terest in forestation, not only for the return which will come in time from the matured trees, but the constantly increasing value which is being given to property where scientific forestry is being carried out.
 While the south has great oppor tunity for engaging in this branch Of agriculture 1t is business which Is by no means confined to any one sec ton of the country There are as fine opportunities for carrying 1t on right here in Connecticut as in the southern states, and it requires no greater knowledge or enthusiasm than would be required to make it a, success any where. Great inroads have been made into the wooded sections of this state to meet the demands of the pole and tie market. The denuded hills and valleys reveal the path of the sawm1ll but invariably those cutover woodlands are being left to the action of nature for any future supply of timber This means a slow, uncertain and irregular result The value of such land remains stationary instead of showing definite results each year. It affords nothing upon which to base any future cut tings, such as would follow the setting out of trees for crop of lumber the same as an orchard would be planted and cared for to secure a better crop of fruit When such attention is given to cleared woodland then will a fixed value be added to such property from year to year and d supply of timber be insured for the future

FORCING AUTO LEGISLATION.

Before each and every session of state legisla3 ures amendments and changes in the laws and reguIa tions which govern automobile traffic call for much attention. There is some of tstis proposed legislation which is scught without proper consideration and would prove unjust either to the operators Of cars or the public but for ths greater part conditions have arisen n the operation of such vehicles which ca1i for the imposition of stricter laws and the fixing of penalties for the non S1servarce thereof. which will be of character to command respect
 The flood of automobile legislation fs due to the large increase in the number Of such vehicles and the lack Of proper respect for existing laws concerning speed and operation of cars ii such a manner as to protect the lives Of those in the machine and thase oufside. IL is attributable solely Co the operators of autos who display such reef1lessness that stronger laws are necessary where common senss should be able 10 accomplish the same results. It is the reputation which few autoists give the entire body which has stirred up so great q demand for more legislation. and il is general throughout the country. The necessity of eliminating the daredeVils of the streets and highways has gotten to point where effective restriction Is call ad for. and while the entire body may have to cone under the provisions for tho sins of the minority, the suppress sion of the careless is as important to the cautious drivers as it is to the pub- lie in general. but even the new reeu- laIions without proper enforcement are not likely to accomplish much better

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mothers, Children and Home.


 MT. Editor: Having been told of some of those mothers who want to find in terests apart from their homes and children that I was very selfish not to assist the suffragists or "antis' in their work, which would necessitate sacrificing the care of my child to strangers, l would like to ask a ques- ton.
 Was 1t due to unselflshness or to cruel neglect when little child of one of these Headers" fell into quarrel worst district of the city. The Italian child, strong in muscle, and reused by his fiery temper. had savasely raised 2 long piece of sharp. flexible steel. and was about to slash the face of the other beautiful little boy when a passerby rescued hin1-before g. wit ness?
 On the day following the children of these same leaders unaccompanied by adults, were delivering posters near and going in the direction of this same locality.
 May God spare our nation from the power of such-can say women ?'- as these.
 There have been great reforms and noble deeds accomplished long before women came into such publicity, but nowhere can her influence be as great as in her home and nursery.
 It was the mother, doubtless. who Jeff without her husband. inspired philanthropy in the heart of her son William Lloyd Garrison.
 It was Abraham Lincoln who said: "All that I am, all that I hope to be, I owe to my angel mother

STATE BUSINESS.

There is no question but what Gov ernor Baldwin touched upon import ant matters in his address before the tax officials of the state when he de- cf1red that many taxpayers commit perjury and sell their consciences, and that a heavier state tax must be laid in 1915 than in 1913 if the state would keep it's credit good
 If is none too early to begin to real fxs that one of the biggest problems before the state of Connecticut today is to keep down it's debt For the last Ssw years if has been piling up with htfie or no effort to restrain or over ccnse it State taxes have been col facfed following the wiping out of the surplus and little progress is being made in any endeavor to return to the deszrable financial conditions of former days. Rather is an increase in the state tax indicated The problem of providing revenne sufficient to meet the expenses, or of Keeping the state expenditures within the known income of tie state is one which the state should not dodge, but it has been dedged about as effectively in recent years as have the taxes.
 What is needed is to get such public affairs upon a, business basis of equal ity and fairness to each and every one t is undoubtedly true that many taxpayers fail to realize their lrespon- sfhilify and dodge their taxes. Many do it because others do. and because they feel Justified in taking such equal iEation of their tax assessments into their own hands. Dodging taxes though wrong has long been consid- ered legitimate by many, as are other practices which get their suggestions from the manner in which public bus mess is conducted

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Paradins AffIietions.

We are not always responsible for our bodily ailments we have to think about them sometimes and do all that we can to remove them. But they are never thing to be proud of. It is more natural to be proud of physical health than of it's opposite; the pos session of health does often prove that we have used common sense in our lives, that we live wisely and temper ately. But these are matters of which we should seldom speak; a few words at most would suffice to dispose of them
 It is vulgar always to talk of the personal, the physical, the individual: {: we are not to assume that our com panions are deeply interested in such details. There are many better sub jects for conversation.
 Yet some people treat us as though our deepest interest were just this question of physical condition. They will detain us for hours with wonders not to be found in any medical book, sensations and imaginings that no physician could diagnose they luxuri- ate in the theme, the words flow from them with positive unction, they feel a proud delight in the unique nature of their bodily experiences.
 Instead of winning our pity such persons gradually win our scorn. Un- less we pity this very characteristic as symptom of mental disease we en- courage them to their own undoing by listening. Our amenity is their curse
