l Tendency is to shorten the purchas-
 | ing period of the holiday season, and | it remains to be seen whether or not
 ! the plan will work out successfully.
 | At this Particular time when business
 is carried on at rush, even in nor
 | nnaI times, the attempt to quicken the pace for a few days before the hol1- days, in many instances results in dis satisfaction on the part of the great conservative purchasing element Of the country.-Middletow Press.
 With the approach of the bitterest period of the winter season, when men will suffer most intensely on account of the cold, the hearts and pocketbooks of comfortable folk should be opened. But when your pocketbook is open, don't forget to open your heart! Some of us are driving hard to change social and economic conditions so there will no longer be homeless men. But don't let's wait until that time comes before giving a boost to the man who is now down and out-no matter how he got there. Be a good fellow!''-Bridge- port Standard.
 The American Indian no longer is a vanishing race, but under improved health conditions is increasing in num- Der, according to the annual report of Commissioner Sells, of the Indian bu reau. There were 209,224 Indians when the report was written, an increase of 1,522 over a year ago. Health and educational campaigns, the report says, reduced the general death rate this year from 35.55 in 1000 to 23.33, and cut down the number of infant deaths from 2,391 two years ago to 1903 this year. Deaths from tuber- culosis were reduced 40 per cent.-New

 Today Waterbury is to complete ! raising fund of S350,0Oo for the Y. M c. A. That such amount could be secured in six working days
 speaks well for the generosity and especially so as the city already has an excellent Y. M. c. A. building which has been outgrown. The new fund is to enlarge and expand the
 work, which is recognized on all sides as a practical and necessary one. In this connection it may be noted that New London and Winsted have just occupied new Y. M. c. A. buildings. It needs no argument to prove the necessity or the value of such in stitutions in all live communities. The record of good accomplished is too clear and convincing to peamit of skepticism. Bristol is certainly more progressive than eithes New London or Winsted, and the Community building proposed for her boys and girls stands Tor a much WlOer Helu OI "OIh anu activity than the Y M. C.. A., which fact, of course, works an appeal to a larger constituency.-Brist Press. A dozen years or so ago there were several toll bridges in the state, m cluding one between Windsor Locks and Warehouse Point one between Middletown and Portland and the so- called Rope Ferry bridge owned by the LeCount fanil vat Lyme. The legislature abolished tolls on those bridges and it was supposed that Con- necticut had seen the last of toll bridges and toll roads. Then came the proposition to bridge the Connecticut between Lyme and Old Saybrook and the tolls system was revived. It was retained later in the case of the Had dam bridge. Under the toll system the bridge pays its way and is continually contributing toward its own cost. The Saybrook bridge has been tremend- ous convenience and a great stin : ulus to traffic. In the light of the ad- vantage which it has been to the state, which certainly will be dupli- cated in the case of the New London structure, one cannot but believe that the toll system, whether it is a relic of the past of not, should be adopted there.-Hartford Post.
