SOME HOT WEATHER npoN,rs.n

When the hot weather strikes on it always brings with it new problems, but there is much that the individual can do to protect his health and null lify the effects of the torrid spells if he will give proper thought and at tention to it, even though that is only what ought to be done regard less Of what season of the year it is.
 Self protection and preservation is important at all times and for that reason there is much worthy of con- sideration in the list of "donts" which has been put forward by a health de- partment in one of the large cities. This advice says:
 Don't expose yourself to the hot rays of the sun.
 Don't take ice-cold drinks
 Don't take stimulants during the extremely warm weather.
 Don't overtax yourself, either men tally or physically.
 Don't overload the stomach. Eat sparingly and eat slowly, and be sure that you thoroughly masticate your food.
 Don't bathe on a full stomach.
 Don't sleep in a draft.
 Don't look at thermometers.
 Don't worry.
 Don't remain up late at night. Get plenty of sleep and rest, for these things are essential. The body. needs both to help in the work of recupera- tion from the wear and tear of the business day.
 Don't visit crowded places. Be sure that the places you do visit are well ventilated.
 Don't take cold plunge baths un- less you are used to them. If you wish to begin taking cold plunges, start first by taking cold plunge baths every morning"
 It is one thing to give advice and another to have those who need it abide by it. Advice is frequently easier to give than it is to take, but the observation of due precautiOn is advisable at all times and such ar effort to contribute to the relief Of suffering humanity ought to do much gOOd if it is given a chance.

Preparino For Fail Canonaior


 MT. Editor: On top of the extreme heat of the past few days comes now the local political annOuncement- who are to be the candidates for sen atOr and representatives this fall. I suppose the nominations may now all be decided upon, but this is not true of the election of the same. There will, however, be no change in the nominations announced, unless the re- publicans do differently than former ly, but do their duty and attend the primaries when they are held.
 Let use consider for a moment part of the situation. Take for instance the present position of the clerk of the city court, whom I see by the pub lie announcement is to be a candidate again for one of our representatives. He is still young, but has been already hOnOred three times with the repUb- Ican nomination for representative. He now holds the responsible position as member of the state central commit tee; he is at present clerk of the city cOurt-an easy job with a good sal ary. Is it quite fair to other worthy young men, of the party, to give all hOnOrs to one person Why not. if we must have a lawyer send to the next general assembly, one of the fol- lowing attorney: Davis BabcOck, Perkins, Robbins, Hall. Gardner, Pettis or AlOfsin, and give them recognition. I have no complaint to make about the present clerk of the city court as to his performing his duties accepta- bly, as such clerk, but why bestOw up on him every gift, to the exclusion of other worthy young men?
 If both the judge and clerk of the city court are to be taken away to represent us at the next general as- sembly, what is to become of the bus mess of said court during that time
 I see the candidacy of my friend, T177 51 TEy11n CD SnT f1xy and faithfully at the last session of the general assembly against the di- vision of the town is consigned to Ob- liVion. Why is this? Not because he failed in duty, or that he has ever before been a candidate for representa- tive but because it is a part of the plan made necessary to get him out of the way with the hope of strengthen ing their present demands, using little labor soap to accomplish this. Oh, the selfshness of man. It is so apparent that even the blind man can sec through it.
 If it is not necessary to send all lawyers as representatives, would it not be a good thing to look to one Of the former progressives? There are plenty of good men among that class. Sometimes it is said we have too many lawyers as members of the legislature. Let every republican, who has the in- terest of the party at heart this fall. consider this matter carefully, and honestly.

PROVIDING FoR nHE NAVY.

s According to the plan, which has been approved by the upper. house of congress without a roll call, for talk ing care of the navy and seeing that it secures the additions to which it is entitled because of the existing conditions and the need of furnishing proper protection against aggres- sive action, to say nothing of the part which it will play in maintaining peaceful relations with other coun- tries, it appears that the senators are convinced of the wisdom of attending to this problem at the present time.
 It has taken many months to convince some of the members of the senate that this is the time to make up for past deficiencies. There has been re- VeaIed the result of shunting to one side the maintenance of this part of the national defense and the advisa- bility of overcoming 1t.
 According to the senate bill there are many more ships called for than was at first proposed. The admin istration plan has been found to be inadequate. We are weak in various branches of the navy. We need battle cruisers, more dreadnoughts, more submarines, a larger number of men to man the ships already available as well as those on the ways and those to be built and a development of the aviation branch of the service.
 By the provisions of the bill there would be authorized 157 ships which would be laid down, according to the plan in three successive years, and it is gratifying to note that this matter is being considered on other than strictly partisan lines. It is an atti- tude which should be not only able to secure the passage of the bill in the upper house but by both houses. It is for the country's interests. The need of the improvement has been conclusiveIy shown and there ought not to be any further delay. It is go- ing to cost some money but in view of the security involved that can get but secondary attention

Relief for Jews of Poland.

MT. Editor: Would ask you to al 1 low me to speak a, few words in your valued paper of which I am con Stant reader.
 To my Fellow Jews as well as to
 the Public in General:
 Fellow Jews and American Citizens: -I wish to bring to you the unspealI- able appeal of the Jews in Europe. | This is the day of the American Jew ! in Charity and it should be as well of the American citizen in the last ap- peal of human sympathy. The history of the Jew in the history of this ti- tanlc and satanic war across the seas has been the Iliad of nations writ in the sorrows of a heroic and uncon- querable race We have heard the
 story of Belgium chanted in miseries of the woes of men, and Americas s answer has followed swift and sweet upon the appeals of Belgium. But the Jews of Poland and Galicia have Suf- fered as the Belgium martyrs never did. The Jews of Poland, unlike the
 Belgians have had no England to fly
 to for relief. Walls of distance and
 pyramids of steel and cannon have
 shut them out from human assistance.
 They have fought for the people un-
 der whose flag they live on either side, fought without the consolation of
 fighting for their own hearts, or for military glory, or for the hope of re-
 ward, or for a place in history. They
 have fought blindly and devotedly
 with the faint hope that after the
 struggle they might receive a mOdicum
 of the elementary rights of which no
 other people have ever been deprived the right to live, the right to edu-
 cate, the right to prosper and the right
 to worship God under their conviction
 and their conscience Hundreds of
 thousands of Jews have been driven
 from their homes on the notice of an Ahour. some ofS them have -been-pac elk

THE DEUTsCHLANO's DEPART
 URE

Tn view of alls the activity that has taken place in submarine operations during the European war, the efforts made by the allies to crush the com merce of the central powers. the part which the neutral nations have been called upon to play therein for the protection o< their own rights and the last effort which Germany has made to nullify the blockade by it's com mercial underwater boat, it is but nat uraI that there should be at this time | widespread interest in the return trip of the Deutschland which is about % be made.
 The getting away from Chesapeake bay and the clearing of the three mile limitiis even a greater task than was faced in departing from Bremen, for while it was necessary to get through the blockading fleet of the British in the North sea, there were less definite facts in connection with 1t in the possession of tEe allies than .here are at the present time, when it Is known that the departure can be expected from a certain port, that it s actually going to be attempted and the course to be taken can be sur missed with a greater degree of cer- .ainty.
 The advantages of obscurity which go with an undersea boat are of course all with the German merchant man. It likewise enjoys the protec- lion of this country out to a certain point and it can be expected that there win be just as much cunning dis played by the blockade runner as by hose ships which are determined to 10 all possible to stop it, and with he ability to sink out of sight and to proceed under water. the odds may ,asiIy be considered to lie with the Iubmarine
 It is bound to be an exciting trip ior if the vessels waiting for it on his side are successfully passed there remains the blockade on the other fide 60 be negotiated again, and upon That depends the success of the ef lort to get relief into Germany. The Experiences before the crew of the Deutschland are not those which will Ucite much envy from the present

ed and shipped as freight. Others, less fortunate, have been driven on foot. No age, nor status, nor condi- ton has saved or spared the Jew. The old with their tottering limbs, the sick women in mortal labor, and the children in guileless helplessness have been Shuttled from place to place without food or clothes or help. At first the Jewish army of refugees, more than 100, ,000 in Warsaw alone, were given ' 1-2 cents a day; later in numbers multiplied and sufferings in creased, the allotment was reduced to ? 1-2c a day. Jews by the hundreds of thousands are homeless and starv- ing and dying of hunger in countless places, and this notwithstanding that the Jews in every country have fur nlshed in proportion larger share of the fighting armies than any other element of the population and that their blood has been shed upon every battlefield of Europe. That 700, ,000 Jews in the Eastern War Zone are in urgent and continuous want is the statement contained in the annual re- port of the German Hebrew Relief Association recently issued in Berlin. Of the normal total of about 2,450,000 in Poland, LithUania and COurland 1,770,00 remain, says the report; about half a million are in Poland, and 0O,- 900 of this number are persons with out homes and in particularly dis tressing circumstances. The report discIoses that about $125, 900 monthly is required to alleviate the distress of the most needy, and that this can do little more than keep them from act ual starvation. Never in human his tory has the appeal to human charity been so pitifuI and appealing as it is today Yes, let the 23rd of July be to the Norwich Jews as well as Nor wich citizens the day of charity Pat
 ,Sn ENFry ta aTrN1, has been arranged by the Federated at Richards Grove, near New London, the hungry, cloth the naked, shelter the homeless, starving Jews over the other side of the seas. You may say you have already given all you can afford? Can you afford to allow won- en and children to StarVe while you say it? You say we have our own To- cal charities to care for? Face your God and say that you cannot afford to assist the other millions who are starving outside our gates.
 Trusting that you will favor me with the above request, and place same in a noticeable space in the name of the Federated Jewish Relief Committee, and in the name of the Central Relief Committee, and in the name of the suffering men, women and children, allow me to thank you for your val ued space which you allowed us. I remain,
 Yours very truly,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let Regulations Be Reasonable.

MT. Editor: In MT. Landon's let ter of this morning, the heading of it agree with heartily, and in fact ev- eryone should lin behalf of the many not the few" and it is in that interest that every law should be made. for the many, not the few; but it seems he is labOring under a misapprehension as this law is made for the few and not the many. There are many business men in the city of Norwich and they are taxpayers, presumably, or rent payers and they are entitled to some consideration. This law looks as though it was more for the few pol iticians that made it than it is for the many citizens whom it does not ac- cOmOdate. There is an ugly situa- tiOn presenting itself to the business interests of the city at present and t can be easily remedied if there was a spirit to do so, in a way that would be satisfactory to everybody. Why not make some change in the traffic regu- latiCns that will do no injustice to anybody and still take care of the sit uatiOn? It is right we should have some regulations, but let them be req sOnable.

The name American is our proud
 inheritance, and it cannot be hyphen-
 ated with any other name as an ad-
 denda any more than the Stars and
 stripes can be flown beneath the flag of any other nation. Washington in
 his farewell address to the people in
 1796 said: "The name AMERICAN, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt just pride of patriotism, more than any appella- tion derived from local discrimina- tions." We were Americans in 1796, we were Americans in 1896 and we, are Americans in 1916. No tribal or natal name can add anything to this su- preme title of a great republic. It needs no yoke e-fellow-there is not one which will not to some extent degrade 1t. We are not yet recognized in ac- cord with our accomplishments and our worth on the continent, or even in Great Britain. About a quarter of century ago, when the Hon. Jere- m1ah Halsey of Norwich was banquet ing with a, company of Englishmen of note a British lord ventured to rise and sneeringly inquire: What is an American ?'' When MT. Halsey arose with the calmness and sauvity which always marked his manner of address and said: 'I have the honor of in- forming his Lordship that an Ameri- tGan is an :s improved Eng1ishman, '

cars to move on, because there is no ordinance fOrbidding this monopoly; though some of them at least admit the injustice done to the small minor ity Of citizens who own horses. 3. Many farmers drive to the city to trade. Is it wise to Curtal their ex- penditures by hampering them in the care of their steeds, to say nothing of the injustice done to them:
 In one of the letters printed in the paper, an automobile owner com plains of being forced 10 leave his car on @ side street and walk a few rods to attend to his business on Main street. Let him look for a hitching post and be obliged to walk some dis tanCe, perhaps on the way to the Norwich State Hospital, before he can find post for his horse, and he will have a better appreciation of what constitutes real annoyance and un just discrimination against him.
 If a man leaves his horse unhitched and the horse runs away and does damage, he is liable for the damage done by his horse. He may find an automobile standing where his horse ought to be, leaving the other side of the post free. Buff he hitches there the left wheel is ito the curb"; there fore he breaks city ordinance if he hitches and makes himself liable to a fine.
 If a fine is imposed why not make it test case and appeal to the courts? The law can not compel a person to perform an impossibility; and it is fast becoming an impossi- bility to find hitching post for a horse.
 The writer has called the attention of several of the city authorities in the past to the need of an ordinance reserving hitching places for horses, and asked as a citizen that one should h1lt al +p
 Will not the present administration do justice to a persecuted class?

Don't talk too much. It was Bacon who said: Discretion in speech is more than eloquence." There is noth- ing worse than an unbridled tongue. Careless remarks come back to appaI us. The unexpressed thought never yet has caused hard feelings or a, libel suit. Meditation is the nurse of thought always in the service of the wise. The habit of opening your mouth as carefully as you do your purse is a good habit, but gossips and tattlers have never acquired it. The best that is in a man is heralded from his mouth, and so is the worst. The tongue can express words which will excite worldwide applause, or worldwide derision. The science of the diplomat is expressed in words so is the folly of fool. It is a good rule never to talk unless you have something to talk about. Too many people just like to hear themselves talk, but if most politicians could hear themselves talk they would cut out most of it. The bUncosteerer is not careless in speech for he talks for a purpOse-to win your confidence and get away with your money.
