AN IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSAL.

One may grant all the good things said about the
Chinese of Hawaii in their memorial to Congress
without agreeing that the situation justifes the I'M
pOrtatiOn of 10000 Chinese laborers into Hawaii.
The arguments against such an Importation of
coOlie labor are many. Chief among them is that
Hawaii is in no position to undertake the assmia-
ton of 10000 more Orientals. This vast, unleaven-
ed mass of aliens wholly ignorant of our tongue
and almost as wholly ignorant of our customs and
institutions, would impose a new and staggering
burden government and our citizens. To ex-
pect the original 10000 to become truly American
lied would be idle, particularly it is proposed
to use them for rice culture, form of labor, as
practised by the fAinese here utterly at VARIANCE
with modern imesaving and neutrality-suspicious.
systems. The nature of their employment as we'll
as their unfamiiarity with the English language
would put these 10000 outside the pale of imme-
date influence.
Again we should have the experience now familiar
of trying to ''assimIate" the first and American
ize the second generation
The Chinese are valued, a respected much
liked element in Hawaii's population. Their friend
ships, business and personal, with the haOles are
innumerable. 1t is not derOgatory to them to say
that their scheme of importing huge number of
lasorers from China is impossible.

WAR SAVINGS PLAN
 TO BE HERE SOON
New Idea Provides for Loans to
 Federal Government

Hartford, Nov. 27.-The United States Government War Savings Plan will soon be put in operation in Con- necticut. This new idea provides for loans to the federal government of amounts as small as 25 cents and in ing stamps. The money invested by this plan is a war loan to the federal government just as much as Is the money used to buy Liberty Bonds, and 1t will be used by Uncle Sam to win the war against the Kaiser.
 Howell Cheney of Manchester has been appointed state director for this work. He has announced the follow ing committee which will help him put the plan across" in Connecticut:
 Howell Cheney, Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster. Mrs. Morgan G. Bulke- Rev. Dr. Flavel s. Luther Rt Rev. Henry A. Bumstead, Charles D. Hine, D. Kent Hubbard. Edward P. Jones, Rev. Dr. Flavel s. Luther, Ret. Rev. John J. Milan, Rev. Dr. Rockwell H. Potter, Elijah Rogers, Julius Strem- lau and c. T. Treadway
 MT. Cheney will be aided by the assistant directors, N. Searle Light and Mrs. Bernard T. Williams. ..
 Briefly, the plan is this: Thrift stamps are to be sold for 25 cents each. Anyone who wishes can get a government thrift card holding six teen of these stamps. When all the spaces are filled, that is, when $4 has been invested in thrift stamps, tho card may be exchanged by the pay ment of few cents for a $5 war sav- ings certificate stamp, and new card will be issued with spaces for twenty of these $5 stamps. The hold CT may then start a second thrift card.
 During the month of January, 1918, the payment required for $5 stamp, in addition to the $4 invested. will be 12 cents. and this will increase ono cent each month during the year 1918. The plan is based on per cent interest, compounded quarterly and the investment is for five years On January 1, 1923. the government will pay $5 for each stamp which in dividuals had bought at cost of $4 plus few cents. The war savings certificate may be turned Into money at any time prior to the date of ma turity, and the holder will receive back the money invested together

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
 EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected Is because kidney trouble is SO common to the American people, and the large ma jor1ty of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
 Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one prepa ration that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 We find that Swamp-Root is strictly an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. f., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the New Britain Daily Herald.

The Making of Famous Medicine

Few people realize that over 86O,- 900 pounds of various herbs are used annually in making Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, and these herbs all have to be, gathered at the season of the year when their medi- cinal properties are at their best.
 The watchword in preparing these herbs is cleanliness, the process of percolation Is perfect. All utensils and tanks are sterilized and the medi- cine is pasteurized, clarified and f1l- tered before it is bottled for the con- sumer.
 It is this wonderful combination of herbs, together with the skill and care used in the preparation, which has mado this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of fe- male ills.

Entertainment a Success.

The entertainment and drill giv" by tho Home Guard last evening in tho town hall proved a success both financially and socially. The drill of the Home Guard was the feature of the evenings program and caused great deal of amusement. The guards formed in squads of eight on the platform and went through maneuv- CTS. As soon as guard made mis- take he was eliminated from the con- test. After endeavoring to find fault with the men. the contest proved a tie between shepherd, Ventres, Kingo and Blumstein.
 Following the drill the men were served hot coffee and cake by the women. An excellent musical pro- gram was rendered by the Liberty chorus
 The proceeds of the entertainment will be used by the Home Guard to furnish comfort kits to the former Home Guard who are now in the serv ice of Uncle Sam. Potatoes Freeze. A carload of potatoes enroute to the Kensington Paper Goods company froze during the night. The doors on
