Not Altogether a Calamity

We learn by experience-and that's about the
only way we do learn FOR KEEPS.
After epdemics of smallpox, typhoid yellow fever,
rotten politics-WE CLEAN UP.
We don't always s'stay put''-we go back to our
evil ways sometimes-but we have learned; there is
no denying that.
We get drunk a second time-but drunkenness is
lessening
We have gone to war time and time again in this
merry old world. We have killed and glored in it.
We have ruined and devastated countries and ami
hiIated races as are doing now.
But this is the FIRST war that EVERYBODY is
ashamed of-which PROVES that we are getting
hep to the war stuff.
Humanity will benefit by the butchery going on
In Europe, to say nothing of Mexico.
The 100000 men in the trenches are thinking
many of them for the first time.
The 100000 women and children who suffer are
thinking many of them for the first time
When those trench boys-the 'GUN FODDER
come out of the trenches they will have their fin
gers crossed!
Out of THIS war there will be born no bosh called
"GIIORY." This conflict has taught us that hero
ism is not to the nation to the few in nation The
Russian is as brave the German, the German as
brave as the Englishman the Frenchman, the Bel
gan, the Serbian as brave any, The soldiers know
this and appreciate each other So, instead of glory
and heroworshp the survivors of these battles will
return with sympathy! SYMPATHY!
There will be SYMPATHY for the sufferers of all
nations each to the other, and the hate cunningly
fostered by the ruling classes WILL DIE.
The brave men who fought in the trenches will
Think And thinking will bring forth great things
great events.

TRUANT OFFICERS.

There are truant officers and truant officers. Some. hold the office for the -onor that is in it and others for their ability in securing school at tendance. According to the United States board of education the old idea of the truant officer as a kid cop" is passing away. The new officer is a man of entirely different tppe, quite frequently, in fact a woman. In sew eral cities q large number Of tr1lant officers are college graduates; in other cities they are men and women with experience as social workers but whether college graduate or not, they are required to know and under stand the home conditions of school children.
 Attendance officers of the new type are interested in removing funda- mental causes of truancy rather than in merely catching the offenders. The chief cause of the failure to obey at tendance laws. as investigation shows is inadequate family life. In order to give better protection to childhood the national league for compulsory education has urged uniform marriage and divorce laws, better requirements concerning marriage licenses and that
 
 place parents as well as children on probation for truancy and delinquency.
 The aim of such an endeavor is to set at the foundation of the trouble and it is a. recognition of one of the ways for the removal of one of the great handicaps to childhood and edu- cation. When home conditions are known and bettered then can the tru- ant officer be done away with.

 Drinking Watcr-systen1s of Water
 Supply.
 Dear Editor: I must congratulate the city of Norwich on it's excellently quallhed drinking water. I took the liberty twice since being a res ident of the Rose of New England to examine it and so far as my chemical knowledge goes l found it in an ernin- ent condition, perfectly free from pathoSenlc bacteria and containing an entirely satisfactory quantity of slllcates so that even the dolomintes of Vienna Triest, SaIburg, etc, could not produce better material As everything, to speak popularity in our entire life depends on good drinking water, one should pay the most atten- ton to the aqua ranarum which title IS enforced upon by some of our com rades, who prefer to drink beer, wine or-horribie dictu-even whiskey But-believe me-they can take into thelr body any amount of that sali- cylated and ambo-chlorised stuff NaturaIn ct Fuca expelles tamen us que recurred-they always return to their original and best drinE-the wa ter-n not elsewhere they do so at least in our prominent institution Bad water contains an immense num- Der, billions and billions of typhoid. cholera dysentery, tubercle, bacilli, ana the newest research findings germs. For that reason all the resources of drinking water supply must be under strict control and constant examinations.
 Wells should always be sufficiently TFnFnOtoH SI. 1,, menteds The area of the gr9und around the mouth of a well should be concreted with a slope away from the well, and a raised parapet can with advantage be built. so as to pre- vent surface drainage t1owinwg in at the top. The suction pipe should be placed at the side of the well, not inn nediately oyer it. Various methods have been employed for the detection Of suspected sources of contamination and certain chemical substances are iIsed at the suspected source of DoIli1- ton and afterwards looked for in the contaminated waters. As a control, it IS necessary to examine the water 10 ascertain that there is not naturally in it any Of the substance to be employ ed in the test.

What Should a Man Do? Sug- gestion of Ohio Druggist to One Such Man Saved His Life, So He Says.

Nelsonville, Ohio.-FFI was all run- down, weak and nervous and had no appetite at all.

N-S. s. STEENRoD, Nelson vile, Ohio.
 When a man is rundown, weak and nervous, he needs good appetite, good digestion, better blood, more strength. more vitality, and we do not know of any medicine that will supply it so quickly as Vinol.
 It is the active medicinal principles of cod liver oil aided by the blood making strengthening properties of tonic iron, contained in Vinol, which makes it so efficient in building up health and strength for weak, nervous, rundown men and women.
 Weask every nervous, run-oown person in this locality to try Vinol on our guarantee, and if it fails to helI you we will return your money.

PROPER REMEDY.

By it's action the general assembly, has taken the preliminary steps for the elimination of the absurdities from 1hs- civil service law so hurriedIy pushed through the last session. The matter has received early attention but it is assured of fair treatment. The proposed amendments will be given the required hearings and such is of course the advisable thing to do. That the law was put into operation without q realization of it's full meaning or scope has been demonstrated from time to time. There has been time to realize that it permitted far mora than was an, tic3pated or intended and that instead of covering in under civil service men whose experience and merit desery.ed if, It made a job for life for those who had but recently received their ap- pofntInents under a new political or der of things. Instead of putting the lav into effect at a future time when the rules of the service could be ap- plied 10 new appointments or when recognition could be made of those who had by years of service dem trstrated their fitness for the posi- tions. the existing law, the. interpre- tataon of which as made by the com 1TlissiopsgZ has bsen eustained by the attarnTT gsasT2l vTs5 sinnpiy used for making per3ss2snt 5obs for demo- csasc appointments.

REFORMS SANCTIONED.

If the recommendations of the con- gressional naval committee receive se- riyus attention two important reforms are 1ikely at this session of the na- tiona1 legislature These are the end ing of the pluciing board and the ere ation of the rank of vice admiral
 The injustice of the acts of the p1ucling board has long brought forth opposition. At each announcement of it's action there have been loud pro- tests raised. It is a body, which while it may have acted in all sincerity has been, to say the least most uTrfortu- nate in it's accomplishments. It has for a long time been sore thumb in the navy department. Created for the purpose of determining the officers who are the most valuable to the navy. and plucking those for retirement from amongst those eligible to higher places in the navy. some of it's de- cisions have been difficult to explain That it is necessary to have some method whereby those loss proficient should make way for those who are likely to be of greater value to the department is evident, if those enter ing the service each year are to get any chance for promotion, but it has been demonstrated that the pluckiug board is not the best. Certainly it is not the wisest and there will be no tears shed if it is abolished.
 On different occasions the need of such an officer as a vice admiral has been demonstrated. especially where those in charge Of American warships have been required to act with those. of foreign nations. Though no more capable than a rear admiral if Amer ican officers are forced to take second place because of the absence of that particular rank it should be. supplied
