BAKER THANKS GUARD
Secretary of War Voices Appreciation of Work Done by Militia on Mexi- can Boundary.

Washington, Feb. 2o.-secretary Baker sent a letter of thanks yes- terday to the commanders of all Ma tional Guard units which saw service on the Mexican border. "I wish to thank you and the officers and men of your organization wrote the secretary, flor the valuable service which you have rendered to the coun- try.
 When the National Guard was called into the service of the Federal government the lives of men, women and children along the frontier were in grave danger owing to the formid- able bandit raids from the Mexican side of the border. It is not too much to say that had these raids continued there was danger of international war.
 From the time of the arrival of the units of the National Guard on the border the raids ceased, and the tension between the two countries be- ban to relax.
 Ut is the hope and belief of the government that the presence of the unies of the National Guard, together with the units of the regular army, on the border and in Mexico, and the presence in mobilization camps of the units of the National Guard. in readiness for such service, has made possible a peaceful solution of diff ticult and threatening problem"

of pensioners and Organizing \ pensions for this and other wars"
 Some idea of the scope of the leag1 may be gained from the followi1 recommendations:
 That there should be a minimu scale of pensions from which one should fall.
 That the scale should be elastic \ that the pension should fit the ma and not the man the pension.
 That every man accepted as med cally fit should, if he is afterwar "scraped' be pensioned as if he h, been really medically fit.
 That every consumptive soldier sailor should be helped.
 That a mother should be entitled receive from the state the support tn she would have received from her st if she had not lost him in the war.
 That disabled men should be car, for, trained and employed.
 That children should be provid' for more generously, especial motherless children and orphans; al That a civil liabilities commit should be set up, to help men di charged from the army

Women Too Ambitious.

Excessive ambition leads all sorts of women to exert themselves beyond their strength. The girl striving for honors in school, the busy housewife, the shop-girl, the society climber or leader, all overtax their natural powers of endurance. Then come nervous troubles, backaches, head aches, frequently organic troubles, which reduce them almost to despair.
 Women suffering thus should first recognize the necessity of putting on the brakes and slowing down. Be- sides this, to remedy the mischief already done to their health, the best reliance is upon that famous and standard medicine for women's ail- ments. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

SAVIN ROCK CAFES
 MUST CLOSE AT il
Selectmen Act Following Receipt
 Of Petition From 15O Citizens

New Haven, Feb. 20.-Savin Rock, so far as the cafes and saloons are concerned, will be closed at II D. m. every night during the coming sea- son. Not only will the Rock be closed. but every saloon in the center of the town must also close at the same hour as there can be no dis tinction between the town and the Rock taverns.
 The closing order was made at a meeting of the Board of Selectmen held Friday afternoon and was trans mitted to the saloonkeepers, the po- lice and others interested, yesterday afternoon. It immediately created a furore among those who hold licenses at the shore. The last hour at night is usually the heaviest hour of trade in the liquor business at the shore. Before II o'clock visitors at the shore are either doing the various "stunts' or at the theaters, and the liquor men have had to depend greatly on the time between the closing of the shows and the attractions for their income. As it is costing them about $S15 a year to hold their licenses they feel that an injustice has been done them and as soon as the notice, informally though effectively, was given them they started a move for a town meet ing to discuss the matter. A town meeting has the power to override the action of the selectmen, if it sees fit to do so.
 Petition Signed by 15O..
 C-I- chairman of the board that passed the order, was called by phone by one of the saloonmen and asked about the order. He said it was passed follow ing a petition signed by 150 residents 1oonmen interested had not been noti- fled of such a petition and been given chance to be heard, he stated that the state law gave the officers of any town the power to order the closing of saloons at any time between 10 o'clock and midnight, and that the board had simply acted under it's rights, following the petition.
 The curtailment of the <1our on the cafes also hits many of the con- cessionists. at the Rock, and although few of 3hem are hereabouts now,
 
 residences there, were loud in their denunciation of the selectmen's ruling without their being given a chance to be heard. The cutting down of an hour of the night by closing the cafes, they feel, will also result in cutting off their revenues, and as they have to pay license to the town they are much incensed at what they call  men.
 The order, 1t was said last night, will mean the loss of thousands of dollars worth of business to the cafe men at the shore during the sum- mer. Chief Loomis received notifi- cation of the order yesterday, and was ordered to enforce the new rule after March 1.

equipped organization ard that is the aim of this campaign.
 After Q few brief suggestions, Mir. Foss introduced James l.. Case of Nor wich, who is president of that organ ization told of the work done by the organization. Mir. Case saying, "I thought that I would be introduced as a gas commissioner as I am one and I can say that CNIr. company is in a bad way because of a lack of coal. I cer- tainly enjoy the privilege of being with you when you start your, campaign and we are all full of campaign supper and spirit. As to the method, we, in Nor wicl1 have tried the Eumshoe cam paign and have failed and the whirl- wind method made good. The Y. M. C. A. is needed more today than ever munity and is delivering the goods. Another reason is that it's works are giving the best that is in them. I, with, about 75 other men from New Eng land, visited Camp Devens and we were amazed at it's size. There are. over 40, 900 men there. and they have complete fire and water departments. There is base hospital for 1000 and when We were there there were 800 in it. There are fifteen Y. NJ. C. A.
 buildings there or in the process of construction, and from 1S,000 to 2O,- 900 men visit them daily. Nine nights Boston donate their services at amuse- ment meetings at the Y. M c. A. and 27 times a month, there are moving pictures at the buildings. The edu- cationaI system is as good as in a university. When you remember that 1,075 of the drafted men could not read or write English and could not speak it well, and in one month, they were practically taught the language, you will realize what it being accom- p1ished."
