CONCESSION TO ULSTER.

Premier Asquith has spoken and whatever aid is to be given to the amicable adjustment of the Ulster question by the government has been set forth. It is a concession to Ulster as any offer must naturally have been which was intended to calm the situa- ton and while it may not be as much as was expected or desired by the people in the north of Ireland, it is likely to prove equally unsatisfactory to those who want home rule for the entire island. The proposition now is to refer the matter to the parliament tary electors of the counties in Ulster that 1t may be determined by a ma jority vote whether the exclusion of the province from home rule for a period of six years after the opening of the Irish parliament is desirable.
 From the declarations which have gone forth from Ulster and the dis approval of home rule which goes with the fight being made against it, it is to be supposed that such vote would reveal the desire for the exclusion clause but from the feeling which ex- ists there it remains to be seen whether they would be satisfied to give up their opposition now with the knowledge that they would come un- der the provisions of the bill six years after home rule is put in operation This Is one of the things which can best be determined by the pulse or the people. It is a concession which wnuld give Ulster a chance to watch and study the operation of the new government. With particular attention being directed towards the dangers which they fear during period of six years the wisdom or folly of their present course might be better deter

SPELLING REFORM,

Many are there who are experiment ing in spelling reform and endeavor- ing to rearrange the alphabet and es- taoiish new characters which would eliminate the many peculiarities which exist today. Efforts along various lines are constantly being made, but 1t is more than evident that perfec- tion has not been attained
 Concerning the various reform movements the Springfield Republican says: What is really needed is col laboration between a board of pho netic experts and some artists of taste and skill, type designers included. Each letter should meet all tests. ether in print or script, and in all styles of typography, and should har mnniZe with the existing letters Of the Iipnabet. With such a font printing English theoretically would not be much harder than printing Italian or spanish phoneticany, and then it would be quite soon enough to begin a propaganda. If it proved artistic and satisfactory It would quickly ap- peal to the prosressives, and it could he usefully employed for scientific publications without waiting for a repulsr boom. And if for a long time the two slphaoets should exist side hae aide 10 Erest-hartn would be done.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Doing Something for Norwich.


 MT Editor: The business men have had their banquet, and have told the public the needs of Norwich, and es- pecially that tenements were needed to rent from SIS to $20 month
 The mayor in his talk tried to i'm press upon his hearers the proper thing to do was to build houses to rent. Mir. Editor, 1 have been informed that Mayor Murphy at one time had quite a number of tenements. If tenements $ are the proper thing, why did he sell out? l understand, also that the new president of the Business Mems asso- citation is building a new house to live in; also has for sale sign on the house he now owns and lives in. Why don't he keep it to rent for invest ment purposes and the good of Nor wich?
 There is one thing Norwich don't lack, and that is the fellow that wants to spend the other fellows money. If the Business Mems association will tell the man with money in the say ings bank at 4 per cent. interest how he can invest his money in real estate to earn him any more. 1t will be some thing to the purpose and, if they do know how, they are the ones to spend their own money and convince the other fellow that that is the thing to do. What is needed for the best in terest of the city of Norwich with taxes $24 on B 900, a city debt of a million and 3 half outside of the gas and electrical department. is not a business mems association but a bust ness manager. and when Norwich gets that it will not be necessary for some people to tell other people how to spend their money, and the local pa pers will lose the adv. sales or houses that the owners want to turn into money to put into the savings banks, where they can realize some income from it. without the wear and tear and responsibility of tenants that go with tenements, that the present time that appear every day in their advertising space. Talk is cheap, and if the business mems association and mayor think that houses are what is needed for the prosperity of Norwich, let them build some and show their interest by deeds and not after dinner speeches at banquets.
 It looks as if the Business Mems association was an institution created to run in opposition to the Board of Trade.
 As yet I have failed to note any difference in the condition of the city of Norwich for the better since the Business Mems association have taken up the matter of trying to spend the other fellows money. They advocate some scheme: it is published in the papers, and that is apparently all there Is to it.
 A CITIZEN that does not go to Hartford. Boston, New York or Chicago to buy his fur coat. groceries. clothing or house fur nishinss. but spends his money in Nor wich, where he can buy just as good just as much and just as cheap as can be bought anywhere on earth r, S.-We have lost the pickle fac tory, but are going to have a farm bureau instead to tell the farmers that will not raise pickles how to plant [ potatoes. but let us hope that Norwich h will not be advertised in the future as city of dead beats, and long on ig- noranee and short on intelligence, as il has been ill the past

For Rough, Wrinkled,
 Freckled. Pimpled Skin

As March winds, flying dust and dirt are apt to fnjure any complexion. this information will be of special value right now: If you have any cutaneous blen1is--, don't use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Be- sides it's much easier to remove the disfigurement with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually remove freckles, pimples, moth patches, sallowness, red or yellow blotches or any surface eruption. The affected cuticle is absorbed, a little each day until the clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath Is brought wholly to view. Ask the druggist for one ounce of mercolized wax and use this like you use cold cream Remove in morning with soap and water. Many who have tried this simple. harmless treatment report astonishing results. If bothered with wrinkles or furrows, a wash lotion made by dissolving l OF. powdered saxoHte in 5 pt. witch hazel will prove wonderfully effective.

Thin Folks Who

A Physie ans Advice


 I'd certainly give most anything to be able to fat up a few pounds and stay that way" declares every exces- result is not impossible, despite past failures. Thin people are victims or mal-nutrition, a condition which pre- vents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as they are when the powers of nutrition are blood, all the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste
 To correct this condition and to pro- duce healthy, normal amount of fat the nutritive processes must be arti- nature has denied them. This can best be accomplished by eating Sarg ol tablet with every meal. Sargol is a scientific combination of six of the best strength giving, fat-producing ele- ments known to the medical profes- the food and turns the sugars and starches into rich, ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood and rapid effect is remarkable. Reported gains of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infre quent. Yet it's action is perfectly nat ural and absolutely harmless. Sargol is sold by the Lee & Osgood Co. and other good druggists everywhere and every package contains 8 guarantee of weight increase or money back.
 Csution.-Whil Sargol has produced remarkable results in the treatment of nervous indigestion and general stom- ach disorders, it should not, owing to its remarkable flesh producing effect, be used by those who are not willing to increase their weight ten pounds or more-

But it is rather hopeless to gosbeyond mild tinkering until the alphabet is made more adequate to it's work
 Reformation in spelling has been underway for a long time. Whether it would result in any better spoilers is difficult of determination. Because of it's many inconsistencies probably nothing is more neglected today than spelling. If the reform will bring re- suits even among those just out of school it can get here none too soon.
