LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Appeal for Flowers to the Flower
 Lovers of Norwich,


 Lovers of Norwich,
 MT Editor: Thinking that the peo- pie of the town who have an abun- dance of flowers may be glad to share them with those less fortunate, write this appeal in behalf of the patients of Norwich State Hospital
 Many of the patients appreciate flowers very much Many of them have in their home gardens blossom ing shrubs and vines which they have planted and tended themselves N iese they enjoy in memory. and it is pleas ant to them to think that through their efforts some spot on the earth is made brighter. The pleasant fragrance and cheery faces of flowers from the gar den of others would brighten this spot for them.
 Often flowers are brought by friends of the patients; again for a long pe- riod. it happens that no flowers are without them. This spring and sum mer we should have had almost no flowers, if kind-hearted nurses and hower-loving patients had not kept the ward well supplied with wild flow ers-violets, bluets. daisies laurel, etc. there the few wild flowers: moreover, there are not always patients or nurses both alse and willing to gather them.
 To show that flowers are cared for ana appreciated Tn the nOSpllal. 1I may be said that two great punches of laurel were on one of the wards for three weeks. fresh buds constantly opening and the faded flowers being removed: and on the same ward at this writing (July 23rd) are three OK eyed daisies. all that is left of fam fly of ten, one flower surrounded by nine buds, which came up root and all in the hand of the gatherer. all of the buds developing in water into per- feet flowers.
 Flowers sent to the hospital will be most thankfully received, and the giver may rest assured that somewhere in the hospital they will please and cheer many. Honeysuckle. sweet peas, mar igolds, anything from the garden Is acceptable also wild flowers from held and wood.
 The hospital has no greenhouses or gardens to supply the wards with flow CTS. The open ward has long flower bed divided into small plots. the flow CTS belonging to the patient who cares for them and. if they are gathcred, being only sufficient to supply that ward with flowers.
 Flowers may be brought to the hos pital, or they will be called for If taken to Preston Bros, where parcels are left for the hospital ONE OF THE PATIENTS. Norwich State Hospital. July 23rd 1914.

knows where to go to get any infor- nation required.
 It is not information itself but how to hunt for information that you need to learn.
 How to best search through books for facts as a hunter treads the forest for game, that is the thing. To be able to find out about a certain suu- ject that interests you, working with a library Is better than to know all Gib- bon's history by heart.
 You do not need great reading so much as to know the art of reading and of skipping.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

One feels sympathy, even across the de Leon in his futile quest for the fountain of youth. Having lived care lessly, wildly. and burned the candle at both ends, the Spanish grandee found that youth had gone from him early. At 50 years he was not only an old. but a miserable man. The na- lives of his island realm of Porto Rico told of land far to the north west, to which their frail canoes could never take them. Here, they said, was a spring of clear water of which one drank to become young and strong, as in his best days. No one grows old in Bimini,'' they said.

The Spaniards searched the whole coast of Florida for "Bimini." examin- ing countless springs and water courses, but they never found the foun- tain of youth. Their leader returned at last a broken and disappointed man to die of an arrow wound in Cuba.
 The old noblemman was only one with the rest of us after all. Most men, and women too, cling to youth and contemplate the loss of it with a sort of shudder. They feel that ad- vancing years mean not only slack mental outlook and diminished joys They hate to grow old.''
 Oliver Wendell Holmes, himself a perennial youthful spirit is spokes- man for many in his song:
 O for one hour of youthful joy.

 I'd rather laugh a bright haired boy
 Than reign a gray-beard king. among the poets, the philosophers. and even the moralists, as, for example, the Bible sage, who bids us make life's great decisions in the days of youth when the evil days come not nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, much of literature ancient and mod ern. has old age been given naught but a grabbed reputation!
 And what of the fountain of youth since those ill-starred cruises of Juan Ponce de Leon? Has 1t yet been dis covered? The fact Is that today. at least, we are on the trail of 1t, If men have not abolished old age they are learning to rob it of its terrors. It is being put further into the distance for one thing. Prof Irving Fisher, no mean authority. believes that the aver age span of human life may be in- creased Is years by the use of hygienic common sense. And the life insurance companies have taken practical &C., count of his findings. We are going to consider it disgraceful to wear out as early as our great-grandfathers did.
 But the mind and not the body Is the real key to the situation. No man is old while his mind is alert his in- terest in his time una.bated, and his soul eager with hope. To be in inter- ested and helpful touch with life is to be still young, no matter whether it is one's thirtiest or nineteenth birthday that is coming next.
 Let 1t not be thought mere cant if we. say that religion has much to do win this matter of keeping young. It is faith that is the great re1uvenator. They that wait upon the Lord shaF renew their strength" The spirit of a really Telglous man IS pelnR peFpeIu- ally made new. That he actually goes from strength to strength Is a fact capable ot demonstration. Witness such careers. for instance, as that of Gladstone across the water, and oi Edward Everett Hale in our own land aged men both of them. but in vincibly hopeful and fruitful to the end.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Our government will have to watch vigilantly. and upon the sure promise of performance shape it's future rela- tions with the constitutionalists. The new Mexican rulers handling of this phase of the Mexican situation may be looked upon as a fairly sure index to the seriousness of his intentions re- garding the future welfare of his har- rassed country.-New Haven Journal> Courier.
 Of course 1t is quite right for ths police of New Haven to arrest per sons in that city for violation of the law but it is not regarded as accord ing to Hoyle for these same prisoners to be thrown into an unsanitary build ing dangerous to health before they have been convicted of any mis- deTneanor.

 We do not pretend to know what mistakes have been made or what acts Of wrongdoing have been committed by the old management of the com pany, and we are not sure that the whole situation is due to mistakes rather than to crimes. ana the public does not know.

 In New Haven gentlemen placed under restraint have been known to go out without leaving any word as to their destination and their absence caused the greatest excitement among those in charge. Some even neg lected to return and the sheriff was plainly disturbed. This, however. has led to change in the discipline and before a prisoner can go visiting now he must ask permission. This is not always granted but this caution en- ables the sheriff to know where his guests are when wanted.-New Britain Herald.

THE CRUELTY CHARGES AT OAK
FOREST CLAIMED UNFoUNDED
Commissioner Coonley submitted
minority report on Oak Forest in
Urinary, in which the institution is
exonerated. The charges of cruelty
are said to be unfounded in this re
port. 1t is signed by Commissioners
Coonley, Gard, Moriarity, Anderson
and Mitchell. They say it was sub.
mitted for the following reasons: -
First, certain members Of this
board, stimulated and assisted by the
states attorneys Office, which should
be engaged in other and worthier ac-
tivities, have been instrumental in
giving to the press statements cal
culated to discredit the county in
firmary.
Second, these members have sub
sequently refused to furnish their fell
low members on this board with facts
on which these charges we're based.
Third, they have refused to allow
those members of the board whom
they cannot control to take part in
the investigation, so-called, which
they are conducting. .....
"Since the two members most
active in this matter have previously
made strenuous attempts to bring
discredit upon the County Hospital,
we are forced to the conclusion that
they are trying to do the same with
Oak Forest and are unwilling that
their report should be open and above
board and should fairly represent the
facts"
