Disease as We'll as Bullets,

The horses at the front have disease to face as well as bullets. Efforts are now being made in the western line to check an epidemic of glanders. Only animals free from the disease are admitted to the Blue Cross hos pitals, established in France by the English Dumb Friends League.
 These hospitals have all the work they can handle as it is Besides the work of mercy, the society saves an unnecessary Wastage of horse flesh.
 Roy Horniman, sent on tour of inspection in France by the Blue Cross society, describes his impressions of one of the horse hospitals as follows:
 "The first noticeable feature of the hospital was it's exquisite cleanliness. The farm building used as wards were whitewashed and disinfected. I mo- ticed the same neatness in the pharna- cies and the staff looked spick and span in their white uniforms
 "On entering the first ward some thing caught my throat. The sight Of this line of patient veterans. standing still and silent in the din light, had something accusing in it. I felt awe as I thought of the ordeal through which these heroes had passed, and I am not ashamed to say that I raised my hat
 He reports that the majority of cases are deep and painful saddle cuts, and sabre and bullet wounds are in the minority.
 One of the most slziiIful veterin- aries in the hospital is a woman who belongs to a well known English fam . fly, and there are women in the other Blue Cross hospitals as well.

SENATOR BRANDEGEE RIGHT.

Whether it amounts to anything or not. it is evident to the man iR the street that Senator Brandcgee takes the sound and sensible attitude in re- Tard to the preparedness of this coun- try for war He does not pose as a pessiuist or as a fomentor of needless worry but when he says that infor- nation as to the military condition or che country is being suppressed and that a gag has been placed in the mouths of all officers of the army and navy it becomes apparent that those upon whom devolves the responsibil- ity of taking care of the country's in terests should be informed as to the true situation.
 When he declares that he wants in formation as to what is needed to make the United States army and navy an evenly balanced one. what ever it's size, he represents himself in 9 position no different than every other member Of congress. There should be no policy of nIIitarism, but neither should there be an attempt to cover up the exact situation espe- cially when it concerns an adequate defense in case that uncertain ele- ment trouble, should develop.
 Whether trouble is anticipated or not there should be a. proper n1ainten- ance of the army and navy. They are the greatest arguments in behalf Of peace, but no member of congress is able to pass judgment upon the de mands Of those departments, either for or against, unless they are in pos session of the existing facts. It is far preferable that the truth regard ing them should be known while there is time to apply the remedy than to wait until trouble breaks and have the revelations show what a short sighted policy had been maintained. If an investigation should disclose the country to be fully prepared so much the better, if not it is time to know it.

HOW ID GET RID
 IF DYSPEPSIA
Don't Rely on Medicine; Don't Go on Freak Diet; Common Sense and an Antacid Usually All That
 Are Needed.

If you have dyspepsia indigestion sour stomach, belching. distress after eating heartburn or any other stomach trouble due to hyperacidity Cthe usual 'ause of stomach troublel, you should
 ake no medicine to act upon the stom- way to cure the trouble. Again. you should not half starye yourself by go- ing without the nutritious food that YOU need to rebuild waste tissues. Some foods are not good for people even when in perfect health-very rich sweet, highly seasoned dishes. Avoid these, but eat fairly substantial meals of plain foods. Eat slowly. Even if you drink nothing but water Drink before and after eating Do not take pepsin or other artificial digest ants. If you follow the foregoing simple instructions it is probable tha you will not need any medicine at all except, if you want to call it medicine. little antacid after meals. The best antacid is ordinary bisurated maSnesia. which can be purchased at any drug store. This is not to act upon the stomach but on the contents of the stomach. The antacid. as you can learn by consulting your dictionary or en- cyclopedia. is merely to neutrallze or counteTact the excess acid so the StoEl- acn can digest the food normally. Tax e a teas poOnfUI of biSurated mag sia in d little cold or hot water after each meal. You should get imm edIate relief even if your case Is severe Careful, moderate eating and the use of bisurated magnesia should put your stomach in normal condition in . short time: if you have not allowed dYSpep- sia to advance to the extreme stage or developing stomach ulcres.

The teachers pension bill is before the legislature again this year and is being backed up by argument that is difficult to controvert, even if there was a disposition to do so. The pen sion idea is too firmly established in this country to begin to offer any ar Gunaent against 1t. The police and firemen have it; it has also been es- tablished in manufacturing and other large business concerns and always with good results. There have been. some men pensioned by the large cor porations in our own city.
 The school teachers do not present their case because they feel that they should have a pension as well many others, but they present it on econom- ic grounds. They have found upon investigation that only ten per cent. of the teachers in this country spend thirty years teaching, thereby placing themselves in a position to be eligible to pension and only four per cent. of this number are located in Con necticut. It appears that while this state educates and trains young women and gives them the necessary eXperi- ence to become good teachers they go to other. states because the opportun- ities for better wages and conditions under which to work are better there than in this state, so that in Connect icut there are many immature teach CTS caused l5y this ever changing meth cd and also many more older ones who have not sufficient money on which to retire and who are kept on teaching.
 Educators contend that Connecticut while it has. of course, many very good teachers, as a general proposition is not obtaining the best There is in reality a scarcity of good teachers in this state and the reason for it is that many young women so elsewhere to work or accept places in offices. which offer better opportunities for wages and advancement than does the school room. Under these conditions it can be easily seen that the state must make teaching more attractive: 1t must see that it offers suitable op- portunities for those who may be in clined to make it their life work. to see also that the conditions under which they work are such that it will be the best for the state as an insti- tuition and for the children, many of whom must leave school at an early age, and during the few years they are in school should be given the best of instruction and the best of instruc- tors.
 It IS stated that only approximately three per cent. of the present teach - ing force in this state are eligible to pension under the proposed bill, so that to start with the expense would not be very heayy.--NeT Britain Her ald.

WHERE LABOR FEARS TO TREAD

The supreme court of the United States has said that the Dsaabury hat ters' union was properly prosecuted under the Sherman law, and the yer dict of the jury after a. long drawn out legal tangle has been sustained. Is a committee of congress, or con- gress itself. now going to assume the of the attitude which the matters took, by tho payment of their fine amounting to about $500 900? Is it going to say to all other organizations about the country that the law has been defined, but it can be without fear for the govern ment stands ready to assume what ever penalty is assessed against them
 Such is what the matters want in their application to the government. They ask that the government, whose law they violated, step in and justify their action by furnishing the financial assistance for getting them out of a hole. President Gompers of the Amer ganization upheld the matters in their contention, opposed the proposition that that national body should lay an assessment upon the many for the relief of the few, on the ground that such would encourage more suits by the enemies of labor MT. Gompers did not wish to establish any such dangerous precedent, but he was will ing that the government should. How ever. if Mir. Gompers was afraid that such would be unwise action upon the part of labor. it must be recognized that it would be far more so for con gress to attempt to meddle with any such affair. for if one party to slIch an affair can look to the government for relief it is but natural that the other side, or in fact any loser in suits brought under federal law should be absolved from blame and penalty. The proposition should die in the commit tee. The matters apparently want the government to rush in where angels fear to tread.

When, however- there is q decline instead of an in- crease in the number killed for every million tons of coal mined it becomes plain that results are being accom- plished even though slow and despite the fact that the casualty list still leads those of other countries in this occupation.
 The cooperation which is being man ifested between the government bu- reau, the miners and the operators is just what is needed to eliminate the great sacrifice of needless lives in this peaceful industry. With all devoting their efforts to overcoming the causes of mine horrors and to the throwing up of the greatest preventive barriers just what is wanted and demanded is being accomplished, and encourage ment is lent by the results which are being secured.

I went to the pantry, where, to my de- light, I discovered some delicious French pastries. I was glad that the dieting period was over, for they were were too good to resist and l ate four. A1ter I had gone to my room and was lSlns down, Cousin Fannie, looking much disturbed, came to me.

But when lilly began to arrange the refresh ments she found only eight. It's mysterious disappearance. Will you run in next door and telephone right over?
