Drowned While Bathing.

Adolph Straubicken, 23 years old, of Hartford, was drowned Sunday in the Pennington River in Windsor, within three months from the day he bade his mother and father in Germany fare we'll and set out to make his home in America. With his brother in-law he went in bathing Sunday and after they had been in the water for while, Straubicken was seen to dive and did not rise to the surface. His brother-in- law thinking that something was wrong, called to some young men nearby who were swimming and they hurried 10 the rescue. Harry V. Entrees dove for the man and found that his head was wedged under a root of an old stump which had been carried there by drift wood. To dislodge the body, it was necessary to push it from under the old stump with poles. Some fifteen minutes elapsed before the body was recovered.

Tolls From Autoists.

How soon will tolls be demanded on all state bridges and how soon will we have tollgates to draw from automo- bilists return for the wear and tear they give to state-built roads?-Hart- ford Courant.
 This query of the Courant is very opportune when the state. highway de- partments are reporting at the assem- bling of each new legislative body that more money is needed to maintain highways and more for new construc- tion. The Courant's paragraph is not a blunt recommendation but sort of indefinite query, possibly rather vague by reason of tie fact that the Courant s chief is of the automobile squad, but it has, nevertheless, the basis for mighty forceful argument in favor of restoring the old time toll gate to gain funds for highways and thus make the users pay the cost of upkeep. This paper is stubbornly opposed and will continue to be opposed to any move toward plac- ing a state tax on every kind of wheeled vehicle that uses highways unelss it be by the tollgate system, and then graded so that the burden of ex- pense shall rest upon the shoulders of the users of automobiles for whose annually spent to very large degree.
 Collections are made on draw bridges to meet the interest on bonded indebt- edness; why not on highways?-Shore Line Times.

Anecdote for the Day.
one voice:
 "Baitl''

Nearly every one who has travelled in Russia has, at some time or other, run afoul of the official "red tapen of that country.
 His trunks had been examined and the traveller was about to pass into the city when an official who had been scanning his travelling papers stopped him.
 "These papers contain irregularities" said the official sternly. You cannot stay in Russia"
 "Very well, :" said the traveller. "I shall take the next train back to Der lin"

Only a Slight Mistake.

An engineer who was repairing a railroad line in South Africa found a cosy farmhouse, which he proceeded to occupy.
 Promptly came a telegram which read:
 "G. T. M. wants house."
 The engineer wondered who "G. T, M" might be. On inquiry he found t referred to general traffic manager.
 "All right, he murmured: So he wired back:
 "G. T. M. can c. T. H."
 Two days later there came a very in- dignant and self-important gentleman. It was the general traffic manager. In coldly polite tones he asked the engineer what he meant by sending such an in- solent message.
 The engineer said innocently:
 "Why, it wasn't insolent. "
 What do you mean, then, by saying I can get G. T. H.?"
 Simply an abbreviation, "explained the engineer. "I wired that the G. T. M.-the general traffic manager-can G. T. H.-get the house. "-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

Smile More, Worry Less.

If men and women could only be made to understand the actual phys iological effects of worry, they would attune their lives to different pitch.
 Ii they would realize how it softens tissues, causing face muscles to sag; how it impedes circulation and flinders digestion, causing the skin to lose its healthful color; causing ugly wrinkles, and change pretty, rounded cheeks into hollowed ones and then, but not hy any means lastly, how it transforms a sweet-tempered person into nagging one and well person into an i'll one then, perhaps, they would learn to "let the little world pass by"
 Constant worry interferes with the hearts action and prevents the tissues from receiving proper nourishment, lowers vitality so that the system is in no condition to resist disease. IL is quite possible to worry ones self into one's grave. Now will you join the Don't Worry club?n
 One woman who is prominent member of that optimistic association, says: Ivory, if you must, but keep smiling" which, when you give it second thought, is smashing good idea. Just try to smile and look happy the next time you are worried to death and note what happens. The worries will run away-at least, the superficial ones-and the real griefs will stay down in the heart where they belong. Even they have no right to spoil face hy xyripl1iuu thu lfniup if

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.

During the whole of the past week the suffrage campa,gners who were at work in Windham and Holland County from the middle of June to last Thurs day, have been in Middlesex county. The start in this part of the state was made at Killingworth where a good meeting was held in the evening at the Town Hall. On Friday there was a meeting at Ivoryton, and on Saturday the suffragists in their two automobiles, reinforced by number of volunteers also in automobiles visited all the popular beaches along the Sound that they could reach and made a number of suffrage speeches. The chief feature of the Saturday activities was the dis tribution Of literature which was gladly accepted by hundreds of people, men and women who were wishful to know more of the movement for Votes for Woman.
 Already the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association is busy with arrangements for suffrage work at the fairs which are held in various parts of the state during September and October. In every case where there is local league within reach the c. w. s. A. is

less if not actually harmful. Certain profound intelligences among them have perceived that they of this age know number of things unknown to former ages. They have emerged from the darkness of ignorance and prejudice and have discovered eugenics and white slavery, militancy and free love. From all which must follow, as the day the night, that the old double standard of decency, morality and self-respect is a mistake; that the twenty centuries which have developed the Christian ideal of womanhood are failure, that the church is>a failure, that the home is failure, that marriage is doubtful blessing and most important of all that votes for women will remedy all ills.

Practical Advice.

The Sunday school teacher was talk ing to her pupils on patience. She explained her topic carefully, and, as an aid to understanding, she gave each pupil a card, bearing the picture of boy fishing. f.
 "Even pleasure, |" she said, requires the. exercise of patience. See the boy fishing; he must sit and wait and wait. He must be patient.
 Having treated the subject very fully she began with the simplest, most practical question::
 And now can any little boy tell me what we need most when we go fish ing?"
 The answer was quickly shouted with one voice:

 "I understand, old man" said the friend, "that your wife has been talk ing singing lessons. "
 "Yes," replied Brown, "she got an idea in her head that it was up to her to wade in and make the operatic thrillers jealous"
 "I see," reioined the friend. ''What do you think of her voice since it has been trained2" Well" smiled Brown, "I can't say that it is any better than it was, but there is certainly whole lot more of it. ."-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

Eat Fish and Reduce Cost of Living.

Eat Fish and Reduce Cost Of Living.
 How to reduce the high cost and im- prove the standard of living is the dominant theme of the annual year book of the Department of Agriculture. The departmental experts make the following recommendations:
 1. Americans should eat less meat and more fish.
 9. Farmers of the South are the last hope for increasing the American beef supply.
 8. Rural citizens should organize for their mutual interests in obtaining cheaper insurance, better markets and improved sanitation.
 1. Housewives should avail them- selves of the advantages offered by the department to improve domestic eco- nomy.
 5. The States should amend their food and health laws in such n way as to make their standards equal tos if not higher than the federal laws.
 Experts writing in the year book de. clare that the settlement of our vast cattle ranges and the breaking up of the great pastures areas into cultivated farms have virtually eliminated the greatest of our natural sources of meat supply.
