Hartford, Conn.

Within the next few months RI active campaign against woman suf- frage will be undertaken by the Stohs Association Opposed to Woman Suf- frage, extending into practically all df the larger towns and villages of the state. The campaign is aimed to n1E only bring before the women of the state the strong opposition to the grant ing of suffrage to the women of Con- necticut, but also to show that the op- ponents have organized a state .asso- citation which has been active in tho past and promises to be more active in the future.
 The suffragists' methods of publicity, such as receptions to delegates te etheir national convention who come in decorated automobiles from the Pacific coast representing four million women voters," have in some measure dis tracted from the public mind the fact that there exists in Connecticut an as sociatiUn opposed to woman suffrage which has over 15, 900 registered mem. bers, but during the coming winter the women of the state will be csnvassed by members of the association and the aims of the association brought before them.

Florentine Council has many promi- nent men addressing, but none has been more heartily received or more urgently requested to pay return visit than Major Flynn, who will probably pay return visit to the council in the near future. e.-Telegram

RECOVERY FROM GRIP

The form of influenza pop'llarly called grip lasts but short time, is seldom fatal but causes suffering and misery out of all proportion to it's importance.
 The reason is this. When the acute stage of the grip is passed there often re- mains 8 neurasthenia that persists for months if not properly corrected. The patient is moody, in poor spirits, suffers lack of appetite and vigor and feels in- disposed to work or even to enjoy life- Warmth and quiet alone give comfort and these not for long at time. Sleep is restless and does not refresh the nerves which are always at high tension.
 The best way to correct this after-efect of the grip is to build up the blood and there is no better blood builder than Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 As soon as the revitalized blood courses through the system you are aware of itsJ soothing influence. Gradually the color returns to the pale cheeks, appetite and digestion improve and you are on the road to health.

as regards neutral countries of the sea and has destroyed neutral trade, would lead to prompt retaliation of the same character, yet we regarded 1t as our right and duty, so long as Great Britain continued her piracy on the high seas, to protect ourselves against this international system of robbery by placing difficulties as far as possible in the way of the export of war materials for the allies, either by the purchase of factories or war material, in spite of the fact that for the present We are not in a position to make use of these goods for our own protection.
 'I cannot understand on what grounds criticism of our behavior in this respect can be based. If we pos sessed the means and opportunities we would buy up every munitions fac tory in the United States of America, it in this way we would deprive the enemy of munitions, and our proceed ing would certainly not involve lack of logic or mala f1des.
