j. S. CONTRACTORS
URGE ACTION ON
WAR CONTRACTS
(By Associated Press)

CLEVELAND, O.. Jan. Gov
eminent contractors and sub-contrac-
tors from many states met here today
to take concerted action to obtain re-
lief by congress through necessary leg
islation to legalize informal war con-
tracts aggregating more than $780,
100000 which were cancelled by the
government after the signing of the
armistice.
The informal contracts include in
stances where manufacturers started
to produce war materials under gov
eminent instructions by telephone,
telegraph and etters. The signing of
the armistice ended the governments
need for the material and disbursing
officers announced they were without
authority to legalize the orders. Con-
troller of the Treasury Warwick ruled
the manufacturers have no claim
against the government under pres
ent conditions.
Some of the contractors were about
ready to deliver products when can
cellations were made. Others had
large stocks of partially completed
material on hand.
Under a ruling of the claims board
and the district ordnance offices the
government win deal only with prime
contractors. Some OF them contend
they cannot liquidate the claims of
their sub-contractors unless they can
be sure that the government will set
tie with them, Immediately.
A measure designed to legalize the
informal instructions is pending in
congress.

Danny HEALTH TALKS
What Doctor Pierce Has !
Done For Hunanity3
By DOCTOR GRIPS.

1t has always seemed to me that
DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y, should be
placed near the top when q list of
Americas great benefactors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to q degree that few realize.
Whenever he found q remedy that over
came disease, he at once announced it
in the newspapers and told where it
could be bought at small price. He
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
of each root and herb he used. And
90 to-day the names of Dr. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed of
Mayapple, leaves Of aloe, root of jalap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bnd
after effects, as go many pills do.
Very often they make person who
takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is costiye.
If you are constipated, by all means
go to your druggist and get some OF
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
may prove to be the very thing your,
system requires to make you well and
h@ppy-

Suffragists to Oppose
Withdrawal of Amendment
(By Associated Press)

PERU, Ind, Jan. 3-"The suffra-
gists OF Indiana will not agree to the
withdrawal OF the Beardsley amend
ment," Mrs Richard Edwards, presi-
dent of the Woman's Franchise League
of Indiana said, when discussing sug-
at the coming session of the Indiana
legislature to withdraw the amend
ment to the constitution, under which
women hope to obtain the right to
vote in Indiana 1.-THE suffragists will
not agree unless they can be convinced
that it's withdrawal really advances
the cause of suffrage and is actually
benefit to the state" she said.
Advocates of the suggestion of with
drawing. the amendment say such ac-
ton is necessary SO that number of
amendments may be proposed in order
that the Republicans may fulfill their
platform promises. Mrs Edwards de-
clared that to withdraw the Beardsley
amendment giving women the right
to vote might put the cause OF suff-
rage back two years in this state.
Mrs. Edwards said that the with
drawing of the amendments the suf-
fragists desire to see adopted would
not necessarily mean a fight, as the
ragists do not desire to impede the
progress Of the state, and if they are
convinced that such action is neces-
sary and the cause for which they
stand will not suffer, they will not in.
terpose serious objections to the pro.
posed withdrawal

No Extra Session.
[ K eW- HlNnn JOuri1n1 Con.

(New Haven Journal-Courer.)
 Governor Holcomb is guided by a clear sense of justice and cXpediency in refusing to call an extra session of the general assembly for tho purpose of ratfying tho proposed amendment to the federal constitution providing for equal suffrage. The governor states frankly that he has been asked by goodly number of women to call an extra session and hy a goodIy number of women not 10. This re- lieNes him of tho pressure of cmer- goncy and allows all hands 10 pre- pare for tho legislature that will as scmblc in 192t
 We havc never been in sympathy with the hostile attitude of the gen eral assembly towards the equal sui frage issue. We have believed that the women should be given tho vote We believe so now. It is taltogether a different question, however, when it is proposed that a general assembly, not specifically committed pro or con upon the suffrage question, shall he called into extra session tO;attCnd to it. Our readers arc aware of. Our views upon the amendment. of the federal constitution by the very pro cess of which certain definite local rights arc taken away, contrary, as we believe, to the purposes and de- signs Of tho framCrS of that document and 10 democratic principles of gov ernmCnt. We were opposed to the present general asscm bly, ratifying the prohibition amendment but there was this much to he said Of it's proprCty in undertaking to do so. a thorough discussion of the amendment had pre- coded tho election of asscmbl lym en and senators. The refusal to ratify unNuostionahly expressed public scn- timcnt. as nearly as it could find OK precision.
 ~ While it is by no manner Of means SO sure thai the cQua! suffrage amend nent will meet with the prompt rati- fiCation the prohibition amendment did. owing 10 the southern states, it is nevertheless proper that inc State of Connecticut should at least prepare itself for considering ii in tho only way il is permitted 10 do so by a thorough discussion of tho proposed am mCndmCnt before the members of the general assembly are elected. Damage enough has been done to the principlc of local self government already to warrant a decent delay in continuing the dcbauch.

After the hottest July tth on rec into swing for the long grind of sumner months to como. There arc no more Red Letter. days on the calendar until Labor Day. The holi- day this year. however, is of longer < duration for many people in that the week end has been given to various trads~ about the city and throughout the country. In some places, Boston tclosed for three days, starting yes terday morning excepting the most essential places of business, drug Etores and the like.
 We read that Independence Day was generously celebrated in France ,as well as here. Wherever our flag smow flies over a body of soldiers there < was rejoicing and carnival yesterday. The old World was shown how we do it and, of course, told why we do it. At home. while the Fourth is an old story, there was a much heartier celebration this year than ever before. Welcome Home days were com bihcd with the national holiday with pleas ing results and every town and ham let rejoiced.
 In New Britain there was little to do but sweltcr during the day. The irrepressible small boy and his older brother, in many cases, was present with the usual cracker, revolver and Cannon, heat or no heat That there was no parade during the afternoon was matter of luck. It was far too hot for such a demonstration. D
 In the evening the city presented a deserted appea rance. Everyone went to the Park,&for coolness and to wit ness the municipal fireworks display. It proved well worth the time and trouble. Thousands of people saw what one thousand dollars of the citys money had purchased. There < can he little criticism in the eXpcn- allure when the value received is considered.

Each year the city appropriates $2,- 500, which is placed in the hands of the manager of it's anti-tuberculosis league or the head nurse. These rep rC$entatiNcs are trusted to spend the money in sending such patients to a state sanatoriunA, without reporting the names or the amount spent to any city official. The matter of how these patients go is kept as a secret of honor between the city thus distribut- ing the money and the patients and their families.
 There was very general expression of approval by the members of the conference on this method of dealing with difficult and delicate situation. How many other city governments are ready to follow where New Britain leads?
