LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
What Farmers Should Do.

MT. Editor: In reading your Satur-
 days paper I saw in The Farmers
 column that the talk of the farmers
 was about the weather and drought
 and their murmuring and complaining
 about what they cannot help. Now 1
 have been here about two years, com
 ing back to my native Stato again, and l have no fault to find with the wealth
 CT, but do find fault with the laws and taxation. I consider the laws poor and taxation with very little representa- ton. If you don't understand, just start out from my place in Coventry and go over to StorrS, and note on the way the farms growing up to brush and the houses just ready to fall down. Why are they that way? For the req son that the taxes on one of those old places amount to about $S 10 Sl0, but let someone go and put $500 into i'm prOvenepts on such a place and make lt look respectable and they will Eut 8 g. 500 valuation on the place, because that fellow is trying to improve it. He has to pay for the privilege of repair 1 ing and rebuilding an old house and barn and then from the additional tax es some white-handed fellow will be hired to come around and point out 1 the great mistake made in the barn. declare if unsanitary and order if changed or the place will be guar antined
 Not satisfied with telling tho farm 1 produce men come around to tell him | how he shall raise it or how he shall l build his stables as though the man ner or construction would make his milk clean. Ii a man is slack about ] caring for his cows and his milking it would make no difference if the COWS were kept in stalls lined with silk. IT the farmers instead of getting to- 1 gether and talking about tho drought, would pick out some good, intelligent farmer to represent their district with i the idea of cutting down taxation, lo- 1 ing away with the Walking Bosses, equaliZing the tax list by getting prop erty in on a, tEo-tllirds basis, instead of putting one mans property in at &. 500 and his neighbours at $500 just because one tries to improve his while the other lets his grow up to brush, something would be accomplished. Farmers will become slaves and task masters if they do not stop and discuss some of these subjects.

important industry in this country. but the expense that would be re- quired and the uncertainty as to how long the war would last. and thereby serve as an incentive to American production, caused capital to hesitate and, after careful Investigation, de- eide to abandon such a venture. It was the same attitude that was taken by capitalists in England where a like situation prevails.
 The building of industries in that line in this country and Great Britain depends entirely upon the protection that can be granted thereto. Under existing conditions of war there is a certain protection to an undertaking of that character but 1t will fade when the war ends. Germany therefore holds q. high hand in this respect and the world will be dependent upon it's dye stuffs until encouragement is given to home industry through tariff pro- lection to overcome that dependence.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a glass of Saits before breakfast if yeur Back hurts CT Bladder
 is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a n-ell-kno7vn authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworl5ed from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma tisn, headaches, liver trouble, nervous ness, dizziness. sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or you back hurts or lf the urine is cloudy, offensive, full or sediment, irregular of passage or a.. tended by a sensation of scaldinS, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy: take q tablespoonful in g glass of water be- fore breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with liti:la, and has been used for generations 10 flush and stimulate the kndneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so ii no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.

She was jealous of the fine specimen of manhood that stood before her and using a v-oman's right to the limit. did all the talking, not allowing the young man to defend himself. Finally, with 2 shrug of his shoulders, he picked up the rinS and left the room. She watched him from behind her handkerchief and stood rigidly until she heard the front door close, then running rapidly to the win dow, drew the curtain cautiously and watched his back until he disappeared around the bend of the road.
 With 8 sob, she flung herself onto the sofa and we heard her whisper (probably to the cuShioEs):

Miriam had been a constant visitor at her aunt's house as a child and took the greatest de- light in 'iexDlorjng," as she called it. and sometimes becoming confused at the number of doors in one back hall, that she often had to stop and figure out the location of the sitting room in order to know which door to open.

SWIMMING, 4 COLLEGE REQUIRE
 MENT

Princeton has now joined Columbia in demanding as a. requirement. for a diploma that all students must be able tn swim, and in giving notice that such will be strictly enforced the i'm r,ortance which the college authorities attach 1o natatoriaI skill is fully dis closed.
 Swiuluing is q grand exercise. 1t is simple, easy to learn and provides that knowledge which every person should have to properly take care of himself while about the water. That it should be made a college require ment may seem to be going beyond the prevailing idea of what should be obcained from an institution of learn ing, but it must be agreed that it is a. wise extension of a college course. Ii could be made still more valuable if t was insisted upon as a require ment Of tae freshman year.
 Frequent are the instances where college students. as well as other young people Of about that age lose their lives by drowning through inability 10 swim. Many more are there who would be included in such a list had they not been able to take care of themselves in cases of emergency through knowing how to sustain then1- selves in the water and reach safety or keep on top until help could reach them. It is valuable asset to every individual to know how to swim, and it is not surprising that college fac ulties have come to recognize that where it is advisable to spend q con siderable sum of money for an educa- ton t is equally important that such student should get the protection that Soes with knowing how to swim.

FAIR WARNING, FAIR TREAT
 MENT,

When it is announced by high Ger man authority that Germany cannot use it's navy for anything else than the protection of it's own coast, it indt- cates more plainly than ever that it's dependence upon the enforcement of its latest rule lies solely in the sub- marines.
 To withdraw the fleet from the "hole" where the British claim to have driven it would expose it to severe and overwhelmingly strong opposition. It would be placing what power it pos sesses in the mouth of the British lion and leave exposed to invasion by the enemy at a dangerous point, an i'm portant and vital sea coast. There fore it is to be inferred that it's plan is to harass the allies naval and com uercial operations on 8 more exten- sive basis than in the past, but to do So entirely by the work of the under water craft of which it has made such valuable use during the past six months.
 Concerning such operations the lat est word from the German govern uent rnodifes materially the first an- nouncement of the methods to be adopted in the establishment Of the new limits to the war zone. The lat est word indicates that Germany did not intend to drive off legitimate neu- tra1 commerce. but to give warning as to what it was going to do that those entering the limits it fixed could be governed accordingly. Whether there were misstaten1ents in the first an nCrncement. or whether subsequent consideration advised the change, the corrected attitude is more in accord ance with what might be expected from any of the ioel1igerents to neutral shipping. The fact is every neutral will welcome fair warning, but it will also insist upon fair treatment

THE oYEsTUFF INDUSTRY.

At the opening of the war attention was called to the fact that this as well IS other countries was dependent to a. very large extent upon Germany for it's supplies of dyestuffs. That couu- try by its development of that business practically controlled the worlds trade and while it was possible to Iuanr- lecture dyestuffs elsewhere and util- iZes large amount of material Of which little O. no use is made no steps have been taken to engage in such an enterprise on a large scale.
 In the past the inability to cornrete with the German manufacture had kept others out of that line. With the outbreak Of the war the cur-tailing of the German output offered the op- Iortunity for the development of that

George L. Fox. former principal of a, private high school here, tried to impress upon the Socialists that the city should charge property holders S3O and nOn-property holders $45 q year for the tuition of every child they place in the public high school. The working people know that the free high school is a burden on all, and is used by the professional classes more extensively than by the working peo- pie, simply because the latter cannot afford to use it as they would wish But the working people also know that 1T tuition were charged fewer still could take advantage of t. Unless MT. Fox can show this reasoning to be false, can prove that the school would be more available to the FOOT if $40 tuition were charged, he will make next to no impression with his theory.-New Haven Union.

UNIFORM HOSE COUPLINGS.

The uniformity Cf hose co,u3i;nrs has been urged througaout the ,.oJn- try for many years. It has been under consideration in the city of New York but in that instance an adverse re- port has been made because Of the large expense that would be involved in changing from it's present standard and the handicap that would be i'm posed upon the department while such changes were being made.
 New York may feel that it had fire apparatus in sufficient amount to take care Of all the demands that naiel,r be made upon t. Certainly it is Q city where there cannot be any syiru1- ing IT providing avery reasonable de n1and, but it's action can hardly be held up as an example for other cities of the country to follow when it comes to securing uniform couplings.
 At the big Boston fire when a.D- England, the handicap that vas caused through the great variety uf couplings was sadly revealed. Since that time other cities have either expericncea the aSsrayation Of having hose and apparatus sent to assist which could not be used because of the inability to make the couplings fit, or they have realized the benefits on just such oc- casions which cons from the use Of standard couplings in every city.
 For use in 8 r1uniciDality where ir is owned one coupling might be as good as another as far as the service obtained is concerned, but rTlpere are times when outside help has to be called and unless there is a uniformity in couplings used by the city that makes the appeal and those which rs- spond little help can be rendered. It is a step which should commend itself to every municipality.

ILLEGAL DRUG TRADE.

f federal legislation concerning the sale of narcotics can serve iu any Way tC accomplish better results than the existing state laws 1t must be well conled as one of the great needs oI rLe country.
 When it is reported that the dis penser of heroin and other forms oI dope who has been operating iu Bridgeport for some time past, has fled because Of the requirement. that all dispensers Of such drugs must rer- is.er and pay an internal revenue tax and thereDy- disclose his identity. fl is valuable service which the fed eral requirement has rendered if il has caused his disappearance.
 Such being the case, however. it in- dlcates how much greater respect is paid to the enforcement of federal than To state regulations. The sale of such drugs is restricted according to the lfoNistons of the state laws. but i, has been demonstrated in many other cities than Bridgeport that the ped dlers of such narcotics have 0een reap- IoS a big profit and contributins to the den1oralizaJion Cr young and old through the pursuit of the iIIeral traf dc.
 NO more valuable crusade can be started than one against this growing use of harmful and crime provoking drugs. The larger centers find it re- IuIres constant attention and when il IS extended to the smaller cities of the country it should meet with the strongest kind of opposition It will be surprising f federal revenue require me7ts result in the suppression of the trade, but every contribution to thai end must be looked upon as a. bless ing to mankind. and be followed UT with stTtcter enforcement of the laws
