Now that the base ball season is
~ II tu.l swing and the prospects
ara good for many games before
the termination of the season. it is
the night time for everyone to
snow a boosting spirit and keep it
mp ali through the season. The
Nobridge team has played only
one game this year and won it.
That was good for a starter and
more success is ahead Of them.
No doubt there is plenty Of criti.
clzm, IN fact 0ne can hear too
much OF 1t, some Of it may be de-
served but why not lay aside all
the little things and get in and
boost, look at the situation in the
right light. Consider that the
ball team is your team and that
to get the best results from your
team you must be with them.
hook line and sinker, back them
with your last dollar and the home
team will carry off the hOnors when
the last reckoning comes. Re-
member the scores that we're made
last year by our boys and the few
errors made as we'll. In a review
of the games last summer can any
one other team that played in the
Mobridge circuit, show a better
score or a better record than this
same team Of ours. We guess
not. The outlook for a splendid
season is good and each and every
Mobri1geite who has a spark of
red blood in them wants to oct
out and boost and boost all through
the season and make the PLAYERS
feel that they must win, they have
just got to win, to live up the ex.
pectations of their fellow Mobridge.

CARING FOR THE INSANE.

:, With much regularity this state is called upon to provide for the care Of the insane and despite the many thousands of dollars which have been sBent in the provision of hospitals and medical treatment, it has not kept pace with the conditions which make such institutions necessary. Though it has done much Connecticut still has plenty to do in this direction.
 While it had been considered that 1he benefit of proper attention was being extended to all but about three Hundred of the mildly insane patients Of the state. who were being taken care of in almshouses, the investiga- tion which has been conducted by the Connecticut Society for Mental Hy- giene discloses that the number is iu fact nearer six hundred. This uncov- sring of the real situation must spuI 91l the state to the assumption of its full responsibility. Patients may be given protection in the town institu- Hons, but it is evident that they are Aot receiving the proper treatment which is conducive to the improve- nenf of their condition. The fact is that the insane who are being com united to almshouses are being re- quired to spend therein the time when they would be receiving the most ben eft from the proper medical treat nIent.
 Insanity conditions are not going to improve by inattention. They show the effects of it too much already and the future of the state and country demands that not only the insane, but inc Predetermined, in fact all mental defeetives, should receive full justice from the state.

INCREASE IS NEEDED

If there is good cause for the be- lief that the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission now being written will grant the petition of the eastern railroads for a five per cent. increase in freight rates, it is time. Though the question has been before the commission on two occasions for the past two years, the decision at this times gives evidence to the fact that the roads have proved their con- tention.
 The need of such proof is what has been realized throughout the effort and while it was generally considered that they were deserving of the ad- vance when the petition was denied last year. the conditions have con- tinued to grow worse despite the en- deavors to put into operation the many suggested methods of curtailing ex- penditures and eliminating waste.
 Not only thereby will the railroad system be given the sort of encour- agement which they need, but it is bound to reflect good results in gen. eral conditions throughout the coun- try. The increasing of the revenue of the roads by approximately fifty mill lion dollars a year will be shared in by business in general, and outside of the war it promises to be the great est relief to business depression that has been received. That the course of greater economy which was previously urged was devoid of results cannot be claimed. It has unquestionably been a valuable suggestion and will con tinue to benefit the roads, but the working out of the idea brought far less results than the commission ex- pected.

DRESS DESIGNING.

The European war has various ef- fects on us in America, and it is well to study the more advantageous of these: the bad effects don't need studying.
 The lack of foreign designs in gowns will be felt early, and the home made dress, in a new sense,s will be the dress we shall all have to buy. Therefore, any woman who has a sense of design in garments should make the best of it. Now is her great opportunity.
 The success of the French design CTS was largely owing to their habit of specializing, and this idea should govern us. A business of great value could be built up by specializing, for Instance. in business women's clothes. There Is no bar to originality in de- signing proper office dress or suit or waist. but certain requirements should be definitely met. The question of expense need also be considered. If woman established name for de- signing business clothes that were sensible, charming and moderately priced. she would have all she could do.
 Another good field is that of design ing for children or for infants. School clothes, play dresses, dainty frocks for parties-all these find a ready sale We do not in any case want foreign American children are differently brought up, leading a far freer and more athletic existence than French children. We want clothes suitable for them.
 There are many other lines that will suggest themselves, such as the one piece dress, the negligee, the evening or walking gown. But the thing to do is to choose your line and stick to it, giving all your talent and care to it's development

LITERAcY TEST AGAIN.

IL having been held up in the senate at the last session of congress it is to be. expected, as indicated, that the ef- fort to put through the immigration bill with the famous Hteracy test will be resumed in the present session. If is generally recognized that there is a need of carefully scrutfnizing the flood of aliens coming into the coun- try. There is imperative need that the criminals and the undesirables should be weeded out and returned to the land they left. but the provisions of the bill are not such as win give any insurance of such a result The lit- eracy test is to be applied to all new corners and it can be readily Tecog- nfzed that it is the uneducated for efEnerg who in all probability will make good citizens. who will bear the bTant of the laws operations.

advancement of a whole community.
 Former Senator Nelson W. Aldrich expressed his emphatic opinion that the modern chamber of commerce was an absolute necessity to every city alive to it's own welfare.
 Andrew Carnegie. the noted philan- thropist, agreed with what Messrs. Taft and Aldrich said concerning the necessity as safe guard if nothing else of the modren chamber of com merce.
 And so I might go on and on giv-
 ing specific instances of the great landslide, all over the nation, of civic bodies toward the Chamber of Com merce idea Here in Connecticut the State Business Mems association, the largest and most aggressive of all such organizations has recently gone over in a body, carrying the 42 local as- sociations with it into one state chamber. Here at home the Norwich Business Mems association, fully be- heying that the majority of the mem- bers of both the board of trade and their own organization would much prefer to belong to one organization, and that, because of its broader sphere of influence. would naturally choose the Chamber of Commerce to any other name. have gone on record as favoring the consolidation. To some minds the worst of all pains is the pain of a new idea, To the ambitious or progressive 1t is a spur to action. A community bent l on improvement learns and adopts their newt ideas when the latter prom | ise beneficial results Admitting that the Board of Trade has done good work in the past is not a suf- | flcient reason for standing in the way of greater progress in the future,
 greater cooperation, greater unity of | purpose. And until we~ have every man, woman and child in the com
 munity taking an active interest in l the work, should we members of eith-
 CT of these civic bodies permit our selves to feel that the best interests i of Norwich were being properly ad- Yanced.

MT. Editor: So South Killingly also has a moving machine out at pasture this winter? This is interesting. The machine referred to recently in Dam
 ielson news in The Bulletin did not happen to be in South Killingly, or anywhere near that part of the town, nor did the item so state. This is re- spectfully referred to the gentleman signing himself Fair Play and who writes in a letter to the editor that '.he deals in nothing but cold facts based upon good judgment and com mon sense.:' Well, we should worry!
 Furthermore, and to another writer to the editor over South Killingly way, where there is an amplitude of critics, not always fair to town officials, by the way, The Bulletins item said nothing about a rabid critic who lived on a farm in South Killingly. The rabid

STATE LAWS AND TREATIES.

Periodically voice is given to an excessive amount of worry over the prospects of this country becoming involved in strained relations or war in the far east. This country has been told much about the sentiment against the United States alleged to exist in Japan, and it has also been reliably informed that the relations are of the best In the latest of statements by Dr. Scudder of Honolulu before the chamber of commerce at New Haven he supports both contentious by de- claring that while there is among the masses this feeling towards America, it is not so among the educated classes who scoff at the idea of trouble.
 Whatever has stimulated the dis trust toward this country in Japan, in his opinion it has come in a large degree from the copying of the ut terances of our yellow journals. The basis for such has probably been the anti-Japanese legislation, which has so strongly brought out the conflict between state laws anl treaty rights.
 This is of course a matter which might concern any foreign power and it is worthy of more than passing mo- tice when ex-President Taft declares that the sole risk of this country be- ing drawn into war with another nation lies "in the wanton, reckless, wicked willingness on the part of a narrow section of the country to grat- fly racial prejudice and class hatred by fragrant breach of treaty rights in the form of state laWs.''
 At the present time Great Britain and Italy are protesting against the putting into operation of the anti alien laws of Arizona and it is only another bit of evidence which calls for the lessening of the maddenine conflict of state laws and treaties.

 enough to get by such provisions. They are not the honest, home -nalk- ing citizens of good character and the ones who can be depended upon to become worthy residents. That they are able to qualify under such re- quirement is made evident by the ire quent displays of their ability in cre- ating trouble.
 If there is going to be a restric- ton of immigration it should be a just one. There should be nothing therein which would pass the unfit and ex- clude the fit. Such is entirely un- American. It has been so looked upon by one president even to the appliea- -tion of a veto President Wilson has indicated his opposition and it is to be hoped that it will be sufficient to defeat the new attempt to pass the measure,

MILITIA ORGANIZATIONS.

Brigadier General A. L. Mills, chief of the division of militia affairs, makes It quite evident in his annual report that while much dependence may be placed upon the citizen army the Rctual condition thereof is hardly in accordance with the standard de- handed. Concerning this citizenry trained Gnd accustomed to arms upon which the president declares we must depend in time of national peril Gen. eTaI Mills says in his report. fTn no time is the prescribed minimum peace strength of all organizations of the or gapized militia maintained and in many instances the deficiency has reached such a figure as to leave the corresponding organizations such in name onIy-organizations of no value as a military asset to the federal gov erHment."
 This happily does not apply to the national guard in every state for there arc such organizations which are a valuable national reserve force both as to numbers and efficiency. Other Btates, where perhaps no more than Re minimum peace strength prevails. and that maintained with difficulty. are proud of the efficiency which the militia shows, but even then the reIa- lively poor showing which such cit tzeu soldiers, taken as body make when it comes to the use of the rifle indicates the condition of the troops upon which this country must rely.
 Efforts have been made in the past few years to improve the national guard and they have been attended by much success where the states have cooperated herewith, but it is apparent from General Mills report that there is still plenty of oppor- tunity for bettering this military as- sci

cHAPPEp HANDS.

The first chilly day is the day to be gin to wage war against chapped hands. If you can keep your hands from becoming chapped in the transit you will have little difficulty with them later on, for it is in the first cold days that they are especially sensitive to cold.
 Chapped hands are almost always caused by insufficient drying after washing, or perhaps the water was icy cold and very hard or used too hot. Both extremes are bad for the skin.
 To preserve the hands in good con- dition in cool weather, they should, whenever possible, be washed in te- pid water, and if this is softened by a teaspoonful of borax so much tjls better.
 Be sure to use soap of good quaI- ty, and when drying the hands take the precaution of rubbing each finger separately.
 If the hands are rubbed over once a day with slice of lemon and a little cold cream, or if mutton tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly before going to bed at night there will be little danger of the skiing becoming chapped or rough.
 An excellent and delightful fragrant cold cream for the hands. or the face either, can be made as follows: Take eight ounces of almond oil, one and one- quarter of an ounce of sparmace- ti, one and one-quarter of an ounce oi white wax. Shred the wax and the spermaceti finely and put in a china marulalade jar. A small enamel warc saucepan will do. Stand it in another saucepan about a third full of boiling water. Keep this Eimmering until the ingredients are entirely melted and then add 9 few drops of lavender oil and pour into small china pots The little pots in which cheese comes are excellent for this purpose. The pre- paration can be used as soon as it is cool and will keep for a long time. Another invaluable lotion for hands that are inclined to be red in winter even though they do not chap badly is made of lemon juice, can de cologne and glyeerin, equal parts of each. This can also be used for chapped hands
