MAKING CITIZENS

The making of new citizens is ene of the duties of officials and courts which requires no small amount of time but no more impressive occasion in connection with such work could have been furnished than that gathering Of three thousand aliens in Chicago who foreswore their native lands on Washfngton's birthday. Such was a record conversion of aliens into United States citizens, but it only indicates the better understanding of the value of American citizenship.
 During the past year new citizens were made at the rate of 225 a day, the total having full citizenship con- xerred upon them being S2,017. Be- cause of iilitefaey, of a character which warranted the courts in putting them on further probation there were 1, 1,50s refused. while 56e were refused because they were Of immoral character. There were s.25s ts whsHa citizenship was refused because of the incen7petency Of witnesses while of those refused for otfaer reasens many Haere might have been rejected because of igner- ance or immoral chaEaeteF if some other reason had not been discovered.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Our Natures.

We are born with natures for which we are not responsible. Our natures render our lives two-sided or even more than two-sided in their com plexity. We cannot help it; the com plexity goes with us more or less through our earthly existence. It con- founds the issues; 1t confuses the aims; it divides and weakens the pur- pose.
 In youth the two dominant sides re- main less confounded one with the other; they are more clear cut and distinct. It is sometimes said that the greatest characters have the greatest faults, that those who rise highest also sink lowest. Certainly it Is true that no normally constituted person is wholly good;' we have to discard en- tirely the simple classification of man kind into good and bad. black and white, sheep and goats.
 Virtue and vice can flourish side by side in the same individual. We can- not possibly understand human nature till we realize this fact and appreciate what it means. We cannot divide the good and the bad by any rough and ready system; even in our own selves we cannot so divide them They in- termix with almost infinite gradations, Our actions may be simple, but our motives are complex
 These opposite tendencies were known of old time as the law of the spirit and the law of flesh. In the long run one of the two sides must conquer Generally by the time we reach middle age that conquest has been achieved it has been decided which of the two

STATE EXPERIMENTAL STATION

The important service which the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental station is rendering the state in con- nection- with the department of the dairy and food commissioner. and the requirements for pure food and drugs is revealed by the report which has just been issued for the past year showing 1902 samples Of various ar ttcles which have been examined for the determination of purity That there have been 450 samples which were found to be adu1terated, rnisbranded or below the standard indicates the need of just such investigation as is systematicall carried on to insure the public that it is getting what is de- manded and what is paid for. It is a service which is as valuable to dealers as to the consuming pub lie for it is a fact that dealers like others are imposed upon and dispose of adulterated product only because of their reliance upon the statement of the producers and jobbers.
 Whether it is food products or drugs in which the purchaser is investing, he deserves the square deal and noth- ing is as likely to get 1t for him as the revelation of the instances where such is being circumvented. The great est Encouragement to deception whether wilful or otherwise, is bound to coGe through such a necessary aux Hilary for making the law effective The experimental station is a ferret for the uncovering of violations and de- captions. It is an aid in the upholding and enforcement of certain laws and regulations, from the lack of which the effectiveness of many other state laws is suffering.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
chapter second-Murder.

MT. Editor: Chapter first, removing the embargo, is a matter of quite re- cent history. Chapter second being still more recent, is worth thinking over just little. Since the so-called removal of the embargo, Robber and Murder Chief Villa has secured quite lot of arms and cartridges from the United States, and as he was thus made more powerful as a murderer, thief and pillager, MT. Benton, a much property in Mexico. was com peHed to go to his quarters with the intention Of procuring some kind of protection for his crops and stock, to say nothing Of the human lives en- dangered by Iawiess acts of the robber bands of General CD Villa.
 According to best advices. MT. Ben ton said something that Villa did not just fancy, and of course the embargo having been raised, his well armed men, desiring something to practice on, took shot or few shots at Ben ton. Result according to Villa: Ben ton said something I didn't like. Ben ton died.
 How proud our American people must be of a policy that arms a band ot robbers and encourages them to commit murder and all other criInesi How long will the embargo be kept removed after a few more such acts plunGes our country into international complications with Great Britain and other friendly powers who respect the Monroe doctrine out of respect to our country only and not because there is anything sensible in the way that doc Urine is handled by the incompetents now in saddle for a brief-very brief breathing spell in Washington?
 General Huerta, the provisional pres ident of Mexico, is no nearer being de- posed than he was when Admiral Grape Juices friend, ''Yon Lind, went over to Mexico City and spoke his piece What difference between the way Ton Lind was received by Huerta and MT. Benton was received by Villa. after the removal of the em- bargo had strengthened the arm of the worst thief. robhlr and murderer known to modern age.
 You may praise 1t, or blame, it. do as you will, piffle policy will remain one still

 But seriously Ruth, @ fellow can't ask girl to take such a chance. The sug- gestiOn would have to come from her and even then Pm not sure but what he would be a brute to take her up on it.'
 Why, Fred" replied Ruth. leaning forward in her eagerness. Perhaps this girl worked in an office all day; perhaps she hated it; perhaps she had an ambition to write but couldn't get got home that her brain refused to work; but she knew that she could dc 1t if she only had the time. Per haPs she was glad to live in one room, and to write and be in the midst of things and above all, to be with him. Why, they were fighting the fight to- gether and home was their common end. Everybody knows that united effort is the most efficient effort. Pausing for breath. she looked at Fred and then, somewhat confused she said, laughingly: "Oh. she probably spends her time in the moving picture shows"
 But Fred was not to be put off. Leaning forward and taking both her hands in his. he said: "I never dared hope you would feel that way about 1t. Why, Ruth. you are the most won derful little girl in all the world and I never dreamed that you longed to write. What a team we should make, you and 1 together. It sort of upsets a fellows idea of what Is the right thing to do. but it is really matter of pride and what people will say that holds fellow back Then drawing her to him. he said: Was that your dream in the fire dear2 If it was, I think am willing to take a chance on being a brute

Try this Remedy at Our Risk.
 When little yel1owish pimples or watery blisters form on the hairy portions of the face and body, it is a sign of barber's itch, which is very contagious and if allowed to become chronic, is painful and produces per- manent sears.
 This disease is caused by a tiny parasite, and when treated with Saxo Salve, our new skin remedy, which permeates and saturates the skin, these parasites are killed, and the skin made healthy again.
 Saxo Salve is wonderfully healing in all kinds of skin diseases and eruptions, such as salt rheum, letter eczema. ivy poisoning, etc. because 1t penetrates the skin and carries its purifying and healing ingredients to every portion of the diseased tissue.
