distribution of light must be as nearly uniform possible, and that the color must be pleasing to the eye.
 Superior work can only be accom- plished under good lighting condi- tions. Under good lighting conditions vision is preserved, health is con served, and factory output is in- creased from eight to fifteen per cent. Accidents are much less likely to oc- cur. The saving produced by good lighting will pay many times over the cost of the installation of good light ing facilities. The maximum number of accidents occur during the time in which artificial light is used. A well lighted factory is more productive than poorly lighted one. Bad light ing is detrimental to eyesight and health. It is an extravaganza that factory owners cannot afford.

Japanese Courtesy.
Rochester Post Express. )

The Japan Times points out that the Japanese freeholders in America have less than twenty thousand acres and that the land in Japan held un- der perpetual lease by American missions, missionaries, hospitals, churches and schools is of about equal area, while the leaseho elders have a security of property and an equality of oppoT tunity which no Jap anese landowners in our western states possess.
 The entrance of Japan into the war at the request of her ally and in full fillment of her treaty obligations is so deeply resented by the Teutonic all liance and Americans in sympathy with it that no pains are spared to any fault or failing which can be charged to the mikado's government But Japan has thus far been impec- cable and correct beyond criticism, as if resolved to show the world that she was as honora ble and scrupulous as any Western Power could be When Japan suggested the German retire ment from Tsing Tao in precisely the same language in which Germany had requested her withdrawal from Port Arthur Japan had one million dol lars in gold in German banks Ger many seized this at once and in addi- tion arrested every Japanese who was sojourning in the empire. But Ger man money in Tokio banks was not touched, German teachers and tutors were not discharged, German busi- ness men were in no way interfered with, and Germans in the islands wero free to go and come they chose, politely treated, unboycotted, unin suited, and were permitted to sail for home on Japanese ships in order to do military duty. On top of this Japan paid, a fortnight ago, when 1t was due. her annual interest on obli- gations held by German citizens or banks.
 In all her relations with western peoples or powers, Japan's course has been exemplary, her courtesy per feet. her consideration complete. No nation. as far as known, has found Japan rcmiss in anything which the highest standard of ethics is held 10 require of civilized Christianized states.

NOncOnformist N BigOtry. GDetrOit NeWSl

Foster North of Chicago, an agnos- tic, whose father was an agnostic be- fore him, will be compelled to ob- tain a court order if he is to have his name removed from the records of the University of Illinois d graduate of that institution.
 MT. North in 'S5 achieved fame as
 the boy who wouldn't go to chapel lie was barred from the privileges of the university, and, although his scholarship and department were eA- cellent, did not receive his degree.
 President James heard of the treat ment accorded to MT. North in his youth and invited him to the univer- sity last June to receive his diploma after thirtyyears' delay. MT. North entered the chapel and bore away the parchment, but later returned it because the recollection of prayers offered during the graduating exer- cises corroded his sensibilities.
 The correspondence between Presi dent James and MT. North, as printed in the Truth Seeker, free-thought publication, reflects more credit on the tolerance and good will of the university head than on the attitude of the determined rebel whswstands so rigidly on his rights of conscience.
 T think l can understand and sympathize with your point of view entirely writes President James though I do not share your views at all.
 Tn human society it is rather nec- essary for us to live and let live to consult one another's prejudices and to have forbearance for anothers weakness.~
 The controversy, which is irrita ting, amusing, pitable or shocking from whatever attitude it is regarded, demonstrates the truth that conven- tion and dogmatism lie in wait for all of us at every turn that he who breaks violently away from some one else's forms is likely to dash straight into the maze of his own limitations. Bigotry is nonsectarian.

WATER AND ANNEXATION.

There does not seem to be any reasonable objection to the city hav- ing the power to extend it's water mains to kensington if it so desires. There can be no harm in having the provision em bodied in the charter and then leave the main question to be considered and settled by the water commissioners. The proposed charter amendment looks as if it might be d matter the adoption of which would be a good thing for the city, beca lse it may lead to the annexation of Ken sington to New Britain, which would make it of greater prominence as d community There is some advantage in that, but then that is bit foreign to the question at issue just now. It would sem as if the only point to be settled at present is wh ether the corn- mittee on charter revision hould .ac- cept an amendment, which, if adopt ed, would place the city in a position where it could extend it's water mains to kensington if it cared to do so. The main question is not one to be decided by the charter committee, but by the water commissioners, who have all such matters in charge.
 The two towns are being gradual ly linked together by new houses, and as new territory is being opened up near the boundary lines it will not be long, perhaps not more than year or two before they will be as one com munity in appearance The tendency is toward annexation, the petition for the extension of The water main in dicates it, there can be no doubt but that consolidation would be a great benefit to kensington and, as stated above, it would be of some advantage to New Britain. There need not be any alarm over the water supply. New Britain is pretty well provided for just now, and with the Burlington supply developed, there will be no fear of a scarcity of water for a great many years. This fact should not be lost sight of.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question and "How to Prevent Colds" is asked a thousand times every day. A cold is really fever, not always caused by the weather but due to a disordered condition of the blood or lack of important food elements. In changing seasons fat foods are essential because they dis tribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the body better able to withstand the varying elements.
 This is the underlying reason why the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion quickly overcome colds and build strength to prevent more serious sick ness. It contains natures medicinal fats. so skillfully prepared that the blood profits from every drop, and 1t is free from harmful drugs or alcohol.

OYSTERS AND TYPHOID.

An old drain leading to the harbor a large amount of oysters were found fattening along the subterranean pas sa ges and when the oystermen heard of it they proceeded to gather the bi- ever, have now stepped in with the information that surface water has been running into the drain and that eating the oysters is apt to be fol- death. This naturally put stop to the gathering of the oysters, but the fact that the health authorities inter fered again raises that old question of the pollution of the waters in which oysters are grown. There hasn't been much said about this matter of late but a few years ago it was a leading subject in New Haven and vicinity and around the capitol at Hartford
 An epidemic of typhoid fever was charged to the waters being polluted with sewage in the vicinity of New Haven harbor few years ago, an ac- cusatio11Fhich was vigorously denied and whfvh engendered much ill feel ing between the oyster growers and the health authorities. Such things. however, are bound to come up and the objections in this case as we'll as in some others have caused the opin- ion to be expressed that Connecticut will soon be obliged to provide a method of sewage disposal, other than emptying it into the waters of the state. It is a very large question: but there has been so much oppositi on to the further imitation of the streams of Connecticut that the ques- tion of sewage disposal is being more seriously considered now than ever. The present legislature will give the matter some consideration and per haps adopt some plan by which the whole matter shall be investigated.

Russians are Compelled to Retreat
 IntO BukOWIna.

London, Feb. 10. 12:17 D. m.--The eastern battle front completely over shadows the western fighting line to- day as the center of interest in the military operations. The Teutonlc allies evidently are making desperate efforts to advance, especially in the region of GaliCia, to the south Of Przemysl and Lemburg, where att tempts have been made to gain po- sitions by sheer weight of numbers.
 The general offensive movement of the Austro- German forces along the Carpathian Mountains has been sue cessful at the eastern end of the range where the Russians are retreat ing into Bukowina, but London mil itary experts are of the opinion that the Austrians must forge ahead a long way in this direction before they can hope to affect the general Russian po- SitiOn.

DuLIa Pass Vital Point.

The vital point is Dukla Pass, where a short advance by the Russians would compel the Austrians to look anxiously to their communications. At present the battle in that region has all the aspects of a draw.
 The most sanguinary fighting. ac- cording to Russian reports, took place in the Carpathian Mountains where the Germans attempted to cross Tux holka Pass. The Teutons attacked in massed formation several ranks deep and gained several heights oc- cupied by the Russians. only to be forced back by desperate counter att tacks. Both sides must have suf- fered terrible losses in this hand to hand battle.
