 The WiIlimantic Chamber of Com merce is at last going to have a home of its own the Hayden block on Main street. where it has rented the second floor for a number of years for its headquarters. At a meeting held Mon day night the members about 50 in number, after hearing the final report of the building committee, voted unan- imously to purchase the Hayden block at a price between s30,o00 and $500. the latter figure being the price asked by the present owners of the building George F. Taylor. chairman of the buildin,A committee in making their report. said that the committee had considered and looked over three sites for permanent home for the Cham Der of Commerce. as follows: The Washburn block the old armory build ing on Valley street and the Hayden block, it's present headquarters In the opinion of the committee the latter building was most admirably situated and adapted for the Chamber of Com merce needs and the one to purcha SC. The Washburn block could be pur- chased for 10000, from which yearly rentals amounting to about $1400 could ibe anticipated. In order to re- arrange said building suitable for the use of the Chamber of Commerce be- tween s2.o00 and $3000 would have to be expended. in the opinion of the building committee. The old armory or Lincoln property could be bought for Sl3O00. but considerable money would have to be spent to put it in shape to meet requirements. The rentals in that building at present amount 10 $500 a year. Coming down to theI Hayden block Mir. Taylor said the committee had an option to pur- chase this property at what the com Inittee considered a fair price, between s3O. 900 and $33,000.

 Tt is not all over. It is quite pos sible by want of wisdom, by absence of restraint, by disuhion among the allies and by want of unity at home to lose. not the victory. but the full force of the victory which has been bought so dearly"

The United States Government Bulletins tell
us that the Salicylates depress the nervous
system, produce circulatory depression, i'm

liar to that produced by Morphine"
The United States Government has recog-
nized the RIGHTEOUSNESS of drug intoxica-
ton. It has called attention to the almost
unbelievable consumption Of the coal tar
products.
AS soon as the dangerous nature Of 4
drug was discovered, however, German
trickery came forward with an ersatz-a'
ubstitute-which was claimed to possess
advantages and to be non-dangerous. Thus
when cocaine was condemned, we had
Novocaine, Eucaine, Holvocaine, Neurocaine,
Tropocaine, etc.
DR.. Charles H. Herty, former President
Of the American Chemical Society, says:
"The production of synthetic coal-ta-
medical substances had no scientific basis.
It was founded by the German genius for
utilizing waste in some form, which by adj
vertising, false or true, might be made
salabe.
"Such material has been unloaded on the.
market, boosted by well developed propa-
ganda. vouched for by German scientists
who first established regulations by good
work and then sold their names to whom-
soever might bid highest for their adver-
Using value, as is, unfortunately, the Ger
man way Many of the coal tar products are

DR.. w. A. Dewey of the University OF
Michigan has an interesting article IN the
Journal of the American Institute OF Home
opathy for March. He takes the position
that many harmful drugs have been ex-
plotted by German manufacturers, and that
a bone dry anti-Teutonic drug prohibition
would be in order.
In the American Medical Associations
publication of the work of its Council on
Pharmacy entitled New and Non-Officia
Remedies, 1913" 342 articles new and non
official are recommended that are dis
tinctly of German origin and manufacture
But three other firms are represented, with
a total of twenty-seven articles.
OF general interest are DR.. Dewey's re-
marks on Aspirin, which is drug very
widely used by the laty, and generally sup
posed to be harmless. Very extensive adj
vertising has been carried on to promote
the use of Aspirin:
Aspirin was patented in 1900 and the
patent expired in 1917. 1t was a prepare
ton made by the Farbenfabriken Company
of Elberfield, Germany. DR.. Dewey says !:
"The Aspirin propaganda has been one
Of the darkest pages of American medicine,
accepting blindly the German claims promul-
gated thru the Council on Pharmacy with
such loose statements as Dose, Is grains
several times daily This has led the pro
fession and the laity to consider it a safe
remedy and one to be used unfortunately.

MEN NEEDED MORE THAN

BY THE REV. CHARLES STEELE

Staff Writer Religious Topics for The Star
With each fresh advance in the field of progress
there have always been those who declared that the
of could not stand up to the speed or the
strain of the invention.
Kipllng's old Scotch engineer put It this way:
Were crepin' wi each rig lees weight and
larger power;
Therein be the iocoboler next and thirty knots an
hour
Thirty and more; what hae seen since ocean steam
began
Leaves doot for the machine but what about
the mani"
However it may be regarding the ability of men TO
stand to the test of the machine II was clearly
shown In the examinations of volunteers and drafted
in every country that recruited soldiers for the
last big war, that millions millions were unfit
for service because of physical and mental inability
1t bad enough to discover that so many were
lacking account of physical short comngs but II
was pathetic to find that the average mental equip
ment far below the standards of even ordi
nary requirements.
OF course. there way OF testing moral
standards.
But the proved that the greatest need of the
world today is men.
God give us mems the cry not only of the poet
but of the state and the church--of commerce and
Of industry.
And the whole basis OF the manhood needed is
moral above everything else.
For while science and education and physical cul.
ture do great things for men, they cannot move
