devoting their efforts chiefly to
the task of setting the South

Grams who fought for the
Southern cause. They seek to
teach the true history of the
War of the Sixties; to promote
pension legislation in the South

to increase the comforts and
add to the attractiveness of the
homes that have been built for
Confederate veterans. They
honor the memory of every pa

THE PEOPLE FIRST

In view of the large number of neo- pie who are killed or injured by au- tomobiles while alighting from cleo trio cars or crossing the streets. there Is bound to be wide interest in the action which has been taken by a Phiadelpiia judge who sent to prison the driver of car which caused the death of a woman while crossing a street. In announcing his decision he held that the crossings belong to inc pedestrians and that the use thereof oy the autos is a matter of secondary consideration. Such jibess with com mon sense and should have a whole some effect upon the operators of cars who gay littro or no heed to the fel- low afoot, but go through the high ways and streets in manner which requires people to get out of the way or suffer the consequences.
 The more extensive application of such .. Suling would cause better re- spect for the laws and for the observ- ance of street resulatsons. Leniency has it's piAce, but t Is subject to such 9reat abuses and lack Of srpreciation that tt at times becomes a farce

POOR ECONOMY.

Defeating the plan to dispose of two of the battleships because the proceeds from the sale were to be devoted to the construction of dreadnought to replace them is a narrow, picayune policy, but perhaps no different from what might be expected from the lit tie navy men. Any opposition which they might have made to the idea could have been done with a better display of judgment than the course which they adopted. If. as it is claim because it would mean the removal of two serviceable ships, there is re- vealed the disposition to disregard the value of maintaining a strong navy, so long as the proceeds could be de- voted to some other purpose. It of course furnished the opportunity to endorse the plan for two new dread the expense of two of the present vessels.
 When the value of the navy and the partSwhich it plays in the maintenance of peace are realized such action by the house apparently gives little con- sideration to the needs. The sale would have permitted the country to materially strengthen the navy with a very small outlay. secure a modern fighting vessel and make good bus mess deal while taking a protective step. It should have received consid- eration entirely aside from the new vessels planned for this year. both of which are needed if we are to keep up any pretense at sustaining our naval strength. While it has been inn possible to explain satisfactorily the democratic attitude against putting the navy on a proper footing it is even more difficult to see the wisdom of this action of the house, even from the standpoint of economy.

HELP RY GOOD EXAMPLE.

There are many instances about the city to show the excellent results towards beautification which can be attained through individual effort. Flower gardens handsome lawns, at tractive window and porch boxes never fail to secure attention and draw forth expressions of admiration and commendation whether the ob- servers happen to be flower lovers pr not. The general effect of the idea and the manner in which a contribu- ton is made to the beautifying of the city always makes asgood impression. Every instance of the kind is an in spiration to someone else. It isn't possible for everyone to work out the good ideas all at the same time. but there is nothing patented about them and every good idea deserves endorse ment by being put into greater use.
 It is surprising what a wonderful change can be made in yards and grounds by working out therein some of the ideas which have been put into use elsewhere. No great expenditure of time or money need be involved to make a home and grounds assume a neat and attractive appearance by keeping the yard cleaned up. making good and permanent lawn where the bare spots are and setting out flower gardens and shrubs for their best ef- feet. It not only makes the home a pleasanter place to live in and con- tributes to the general improvement of the peighborhood, but it is bound to be an Inspiration to someone else who is similarly situated. There is force in good example which should be en- couraged and aided at every oppor- funity, by every householder.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
One Is a Crowd.

Flapdoodle is defined by the Stand ard dictionary as "the food on which fools are fed.''
 In common use the term is the fay- -orite one of cynics to characterize any sort of exuberence."
 The word cynic has the root-mean- ing of dog. It is a islander on the dog. The dog is the most sentimental ami nal known. He has 1t of ecstatic joy at even glance from you.

WARNING FROM PARIS.

It is costly lesson which Paris has experienced and furnished to the world in the fast growing habit of honeycombing the ground upon which a city is constructed. The wonder Is perhaps not so great that it has hap pened now when 1t is realized how cities are actually undermined by the below ground rapid transit and sewer construction work, but that it has not happened before It is not the first time that Paris has suffered from a flood, but it has experienced most undesirable revelation of the dangers which have been thrust upon it by the labyrinth of tunnels and underground conduits which have been adequate to take care of the normal conditions, but which furnish the means for fright- ful disasters when the unusual occurs Lives were lost and great properties endangered by the cave-ins at the French capital, which were only made possible by the extensive excavations.
 Whether the Parish disclosure will have the beneficial effect which it should remains to be seen. It certain ly is a warning which should not go unheeded in any city where 1t is pos sible for like affairs to happen. Such has been the prediction as the result of the extensive use which is being made of subterranean structures, es- pecially where great pressure from above is to be experienced. With the great heights to which buildings are being constructed, and the diversified use, which is being made below the surface of the earth, such trouble as Paris has experienced calls attention to the adyisability of trying the other method of developing by broadening ont

HELPING YALE AND THE STATE.


 All Connecticut is interested in the announced gifts to Yale university during the past year amounting to over s6eo. .0oo and the pledges aggre- gating over two million, which with the interest which has been aroused in the development of the medical school portend much for the future activities of the institution. What ben eflts Yale in this way means the build Ing up of a center which is bound to respond through the shedding of an increased influence. not only through out the state, but the nation.
 Yale has long been handicapped by its limited medical school and inc generous response which has already been made indicates not only a wide. spread interest therein. but gives as surance that the goal will be reached As has been considered by the donor of one large amount who accom- panied the gift with the hone that the school may be great factor III inprovlng public health conditions m Connecticut there is every, reason to believe that such would ba ona of s sreat accomplishments.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's recipe to
bring color, lustre and thick
ness TO hair when faded,
streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade OF dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing n mixture of Sage Tea and sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face When it fades, turns
gray, streakcd and looks dry. wispy
and soraggly. just an application or
two OF Sage and sulphur enhances its
appearance q hundredfold.
Don't bother 10 prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store "A
50-ccnt bottle of .Wycths Sage and
sulphur Hair Remedy" ready to use.
This can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color, thick
ness and lustrc Of your hair and re-
move dandruff. stop scalp itching and
falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wycths" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkcns so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell
It has been applied. You smply
dampen sponge or soft brush with
It and draw this through the hair
| taking ono small strand at n time
by morning tho gray hair has disap
