The splendid and valuable work ac. complished by the Visiting Nurse As sociation and the visiting nurse, Miss Saygers, should be an all.sufficient argument to insure adequate support for the coming year, and the reelection of the old board of officers is reassur- ing guarantee of a continuation of the efficient executive management the As. sociation has enjoyed from the start It is inconceivable that an institution that has so convincingly proved its worth and benefit to the community should lapse for lack of moral and sub. stantial support. To permit such a thing to happen would be not only a calamity but long and discreditable step backward.

Sues Got a Baby.

Sues got baby now, an she Is like her mother used to be. Her face seems prettier, an her ways More settled like. In these few days Shes changed completely, an her
 smile
 Has taken on the mother-style. Her voice is sweeter, am her words Are clear ss all the song of birds. She still is Sue, but not the asme- She's different since the baby came. There is a calm upon her face That marks the change that's taken
 place;
 It seems as if her eyes now see The wonder thing that are to be An that her gentle hands now own A gentleness before unknown. Her laughter has clearer ring Than all the bubbling of spring, An in her cheeks love's tender flame Glows brighter since the baby came. I look at her an can see Her mother as she used to be How sweet she was, am yet how much She sweetened by the magic touch That made her mother! In her trace Of heavenly beauty to remain Where once had been the lines of pain An with the baby in her arms Enriched her with thousand charms Sues got baby now an she Is prettier than she used to be. A wondrous change has taken place, A softer beauty marks her face An in the warmth of her caress There seems the touch of holiness. An all the charms her mother knew Home blossomed once again in Sue. sit am watch her an I claim My lost joys since her baby came. Edgar 4. Guest in Detroit Free

1NFANTILE PARALYSIS.

Latest reports of the infantile paral- ysis scourage are not calculated to allay the general apprehensions regard ing the spread of the disease in spite of the approach of cold weather. Up to last Tuesday the State Health Board reported a total of 512 cases in Con- necticut, a marked increase over the previous report. Among the new cases are three in Salisbury, in one family, one of the victims having died Sunday nnrning. The health authorities are apparently powerless to stop its spread, although strict watchfulness and rigid quarantine regulations are the rule in most towns.
 The glaring lack of consistency in guarantining localities, however, should, if there IS preventive virtue in the rule, be remedied. That inconsistency was conspicuously shown at Lake Buel, Monday. The authorities of the towr of New Marlboro, in which the Gibson Grove is situated, notified the commit tee of the Canaan Business Men's . Association that no children under 1f years of age would be allowed to ac, company the outing. At another picnic grove several rods north, on the same shore, which is in Great Barring ton's jurisdiction, a picnic was il progress at the same time. at which { s,ousidarable numher of yOunC children were present.

Handicapped but undaunted, the actors in the touring "drammer" were doing their best; but their efforts were spoiled by the rude comments of a small boy at the back of the hail. At last, after some of his pest "scenes" had been spoiled, the hero missed melo. dramatically: "Ladies and gentlemen. five years ago I lost monkey. To- night it has turned up again at the rear of the hall" The applause and laughter which greeted this brilliant sally had hardly died away when the voice of the insulter was heard to ask blandly: "What did you do with the organ ?"-Chicago Herald.

Joe Mullin, the old reliable of The Hartford Times reportorial staff, was reminded by massive aggregation of gladioli, asters, roses, carnations and shamrocks on his desk, Saturday morn- ing, that it was the 25th anniversary of his joining The Times force; and a handsome editorial tribute in the paper that day signalized the event and attested the affectionate regard in which he is held by his compatriots in the brain room. Joe is known and loved by every newspaper man and every other notability in the state who ever went near the Capitol, of which is just as much a fixture as the bronze Buckingham who stands guard in the rotunda, and every Connecticut scribe will congratulate him on his quarter century with The Times, and on the outlook as forecast in the editorial tribute: ''He is going to be here always
 in any case his spirit is going to be here always" And so mote 1t be.
