No state in the Union perhaps needs to protect itself 7aore against the dan gers embodied in the proposed regu
 iation CT its domestic habits by fed ersi constitutional amendment than Connecticut. Lacking a representa- tive form Of government, it lies within the power of g minority to aid the ma tional minority in introducing into eur life for the first time the right Of others to determine the character of that life without popular consent
 Every state that has thus far adopted prohibition has done so independent ly. This was their unquestionad right, but upon what theory hitherto ac- eepted by the American people are they to deny the states which have not shared in their views the right to express their opinion upon q sub ject of such far reaching importance? Under the federal amen drncnt process the people can only find an expression for their views through their legisla- lures, which in Connecticut is not rep resentatfve in character. Tn amending

WAYS TO SAVE COAL.

Coal may be saved by keeping an oven fire so the rooms will not become overheated. At times when the rooms are not occupied, the heat should be shut off from them. in case you use a furnace. Fires should be carefully banked at right. so that they will not allow the house to become chilled. Coal should be rut in often and in not too large quantities at 6 time. Keep Q full bed of live coals constantly, but be careful not to overload the fire with too much coal. If the furnace has an open, coarse grate, use coarse coa1s. If it has a fine grate, use fine cea1. It is wastefui to throw large. heavy chunks of .ceal into the furnace. The Humps should not he larger than three or four inches in dGmcter. All large pieces should be broken. Frequent stiFEing Of the fire is wasteful as piecr> only par Gally burned fall through the gTate.
