U. S. oR CANADA, FIRST

The British trade commission has been conducting investigations in Can ada for the purpose of determining g the best means of promoting imperial and dominion export trade once the war is over. It has taken cognizance of the advantages which are furnish ed to Canada and in fact foreign coun- tries by the present tariff law of this country, and it is not surprising that it has reached the conclusion that "A United States congress that will not alter the Underwood tariff is the hope of the British manufacturers and es- pecially those with factories in Can ada"
 And why wouldn't it be? The bars have been let down to. foreign pro- ducers and it is for their advantage that they be kept so. Understanding the opportunities which are thus fur nished there is plainly indicated what will take place if they continue to have tariff conditions in their fla vor. The United States has by the Underwood law thrown open a big field for exploitation, while as one Ca nadian correspondent writes: 'If the present plans of the British trade commission work out the tariff wall around Canada will be raised so high that few if any of the products of the United States factories will be able to reach this market. while at the same time it is hoped to see the Un- derwood tariff continue in existence to the end that the trade balance with the republic will be substantially in favor of Canada"
 Canada has already profted hand somely from the present tariff. Are the people of this country going to vote for a continuance of that or are they going to support republican prin- ciples and give the proper protection to it's own industries? |? That is an important question which will be de- cided November '. Are we going to look out for ourselves first or for Can : ada and other foreign nations?

For Catarrhal Deafness
 and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf- fering from catarrh and head noises. American people would do well to con- slider the method employed by the Eng fish to combat thls snsidous disease. Everyone knows how damp the English
 climate is and how dampness affects those suffering from cAtarrtn. In Eng land they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as a constitutional disease and use an internal remedy for 1t that is really very eff1caclous.
 SuTerers who could scarcely hear a
 watch tick tell how they had their
 hearing restored by this English treat ment to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear.
 Therefore, if you know someone who deafness Or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total
 deafness. The pTescriptionecan be easi- ly prepared at home for about 75c and is made as follows:
 grength aSout 25c wo4tn rarint as bis home, and add to it IA pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated su-
 gar; stir until dissolved. Take a ta- blespoonful four times day Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inhamma- = | tion and swelling in the Eustacf1ian | tubes, and thus to eoualize the air pressure on the drum. but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle | ear, and the results 1t gives are usually remarkably quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any form. should give this recipe a trial and free themselves from this destruc- 1 tive disease.

AGAINST THE THIRD HOUSE

It may Ibe all right for democratic leaders to talk about dispelling in visible government, but little can be said about it by the present admin istration. Charles E. Hughes in one of his recent speeches in the middle west went to the pith of the matter when, as if in answer to the presi- dents attack upon invisible govern ment he said: T desire government through two houses and not three"
 The prominent part which Col. House has taken in the affairs of the present administration has been such that the audience was thoroughly ac- quainted with what Mr. Hughes had reference to. President Wilson has re- sorted to the practice during the past three and a half years of selecting and sending out special representatives to get in touch with &he coIsditions about which he wanted information. It was a practice which did not display much confidence in his diplomatic corps, and 1t is entirely possible that good re- suits were gained. As to that, how ever, the people have no way of judg- ing.
 The president has talked about talk !ng the people into his confidence and about pitiless publicity, but mum has osen the word in connection with the activities of his special corps of ad- 7isers. Their acts may have entitled lhem to the fullest approval and they nay have been like the civil service boards work which has been paddock I'd because the opening of them to public scrutiny might result in en- Darrassment to the administration. nr. Hughes doesn't stand for that kind If government.

agreement to permit the sending of supplies to the people of Poland, Ser via, Albania and Montenegro and giv- ing assurance to each other that such relief would actually go to the non coinbatants who are suffering untold >deprivations and not be devoted to the maintenance of the armies.
 It is a situation borne of distrust but it is nevertheless the imposition of unjustif1ed hardships upon those who are taking no part in the war, but who find themselves in their horrible surroundings because of the ravages and desolation that 1t causes.
 The failure to give attention to the proper needs of these people, the pro- vision of sufficient food to keep them alive and well rests upon those who have taken possession of that terri tory, but the responsibility is not as- stunned. Rather are they crowded down, desolation added to desola- ton and everything available in the shape of crops requisitioned for the use of the army. It is because of this and the realization that whatever is contributed to these people from the outside would release just so much more for war purposes that an agree ment cannot be reached, but it Is nevertheless a sorry picture which civilized nations present in their re- f1SaI

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Entitled to Enough Light to See Ones
 Way Home.

MT. Editor: It is pleasing to. us common people, who do not cut much
 ice in matters pertaining to the wei
 fare of our city except to pay taxes
 on the full value of our little homes
 and take what is handed out to us by
 the politicians after we elect them, to
 have some of our representative men
 take up the question of the rotten ser
 vice handed out to us by the Gas and
 Electric department in the way of gas
 and light. Only a short time ago large sums of money were spent to increase the facilities for producing more gas. Today we are worse off han ever.
 Municipal ownership may be all right for politicians and political purposes
 but the way it works in Norwich for the consumer is rotten. We as tax payers are responsible for over S750. .0O0 for a gas and electric plant and we don't own one dollar of it. Ex-NIayor Murphy told US when in office it was worth $1,000,000 but by what the stockholders are getting out Of it in the way of service it is apparently not worth fifteen cents. I heartily agree with the women folks who have to furnish the patience to run their gas stoves under present conditions and hope they will in the near future be given the privilege of having a voice in the management of municipal af- fairs and, until that time with the aid of the broom if necessary, influence the head of the family to assert him. self in the cause of better gas and light.
 MT. Editor, I am sorry A. B. Plumb CT is so hard hit and sincerely hope he will not lose his job, as far as his al fusion to the valuable space taken by what he calls knockers is concerned, If he can show a more public spirited citizen or one who has done more for the welfare of the city of Norwich than MT. Haviland let him tell us who he is. As far as the successful business man is concerned the Laurel Hill knocker spends his money iii Norwich, pays one hundred cents on the dollar, owns just as much of the gas and electric department as A. B. or any one else, and is entitled to light enough to see his way home after dark. As far as the trolley is concerned that

Bill you are doing more to show up the rotten conditions due to politics and personal pelf than all the civic bodies Norwich ever had. And let us hope that the condition in regard to valuable space outside of what A. B. uses himself in our public press will not excite A. B. to the extent of a rest cure at Brewsters Neck. If 1t does would advise him if he goes down by the way of Laurel Hill avenue after dark, to take a lantern with him.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Holland, a chi!dren's Refuge.

The question whether German chil- dren should be entertained in Holland, and fattened there on Dutch milk and butter has led to a storm in a tea newspapers have been devoted to ar- ticles on the subject by learned pro- fessors and editorial writers.
 Germany is a besieged fortress" |" it is declared on the one hand and it is unneutral and, what is more, op- posed to all Hollands interests to help defeat the object of the besiegers by relieving distress there." How can that be-" is the question posed in re- ply, when Germany has free access to Holland, Scandinavia and Switzer- land. Holland is sovereign of her own frontier, and the feeding of hungry German children is our good right, and not the faintest violation of neutral ity" If You have money to spare for poor children is the retort give the benefit of it to many thousands of half starved children in your own cities, who are suffering from too large ex- ports to Germany; or lavish your pity upon the millions of suffering children in Poland, Serbia, Belgium and north ern France, the countries ruthlessly desolated by Germany. Moreover, you are endangeripg our own food sup plies by giving the Allies ground for thinking that the goods imported here will indirectly help their enemy to hold out.''
 ''Not assuming that Germany is a bes1eged fortress" runs another argu- ment, does not @ belligerent some times allow the siege of a city to be prolonged by sparing the women and children as much as possible. And if you say we are helping Germany to hold out, so does such noble work as that of the Red Cross, which is uni versa1ly recognized to be within the province of neutrals, strengthen the forces of the belligerents.''
 Tt is but an act of chivalry and compassion; it would be a shame to exclude it by carrying logical strictness to extremes,'' says another. That's all very we'll" is the answer, 'Fbut to nourish German subjects is to pro long the war and so sacrifice more Of the Allies men; and if the Dutch gov ernment Is to permit Germans to have recourse to public charity here, at least let 1t point out to Germany it's obligations towards this country and to the civil population of the regions occupied by German armies
 So runs the strange controversy, and meanwhile, all unconscious of the mild storm they have raised, little parties of Germen children, many of them good condition, are daily crossing the Dutch border. They come in parties varying from a dozen to several hun dreds, and are being accommodated about the country mostly in chiIdren's S holiday camps and such institutions, but also by twoS and threes in pri . vate families.
 The work has been 5. organized by various committees set up by Hol- flanders with family ties in oermany and others, ard naturally the German authorities have willingly extended

THE SPECIAL CITY MEETING

There are matters of such import ance coming before the special city meeting tonight that thero should tc large and representative gathering of the taxpayers of, the ely Public improvements are to be up for con- sideration and they should get the at- tention which they deserved.
 At the last city meeting the people of the city. showed their interest in the betterment of thc approaches to the center of the city and made pro- vision for the carryins out of the work because of the recognized need of such changes and t;e value of hay ing permanent pavenents.
 In arranging for the Improvement to Thames street. whicq has long been in deplorable condst cr. there is dis closed the need of widening the street and making one jos of wha: must sooner or later be undertaken to meet the requirements of that avenue. It has been delayed too long already but the economy in doing it now rather than some years later must be ap- parent.
 This is the most important of the several propositions which are to come before tonight's meeting. The benefits which have been gained through the widening of other narrow streets are manifold and they have been accomplished without financial burden. It is now time that this other improvement, which if sanctioned will be one of the greatest which the city has undertaken in years, was tackled. The part which the state will take in it is worth taking advantage of, and if Norwich is for progress as it cer- tainly claims to be. now is the time that it should be manifested. The example which other cities set in this respect cannot be wisely overlooked.
