WHEN LEAGUE MEMBERS FIGHT.

History will show that it doesn't take much to stir up trouble among the Balkan countries. Somehow the impress sion IS gained that they prefer to be engaged in q scrap Of some kind ra- ther than living peacefully with their neighbors Certainly each one has a chip on it's shoulder most of the time and the disposition is 10 settle disputes quickly entered into by bloody combat rather than through a sensible and quiet adjustment.
 While there is still plenty of trouble among other nations a new outbreak has occurred in the Balkans, this time between Albania and the Jugoslaves, The Serbs seeming to be the aggres- sors The trouble all hinges about the boundary line. Albania maintains that the line was esta blished by the Lon don conference eight years ago and that territory which is now claimed by Al bania was then assigned to it. This doesn't appear to be disputed by the Serbs but they maintain that the boundaries of Albania were not de- fined by the peace conference and that it is the duty Of the council of ambas- sadors to do 90, apparently disregard Ing the action of the London conference, and the conteNtion of Albania that as f. was neutral in the war the council of ambassadors has no Jurisdiction in this matter. But instead Of getting down 10 peaceful settlement the Serbs have begun the bornhardment Of tho Albanian villages
 Here are two countries that are mem hers os the league of nations, Under the purposes Of that league to main- tain peace throughout the world there appears 10 be a well defined duty in this instance. The countries are small ones, but regardless of size there is a duty to perform and tho best results arc going 10 he obtained from early action Such efforts as have been mad 70 have the assembly of the league take up the matter have accomplished little regardless of the evident violation of the league's provisions concerning respect for the territorial rights of oth sr members and that which makes az gression against one member the samt as war upon them all

Nature could not devise a way te feed and repair the body without the production of considerable waste matter. But Nature provided for the regular, thorough elimination of such waste. To disregard her in- tention is to break a natural law.
 Whether you help Nature by wise or foolish means is left to your own judgment. To simply force bowel movement IS unwise, unnatural and ineffective. You can choose harsh. drastic, violently acting drugs or take such without caring what their action or effect is, or you can select some old time-proven, trial-tested remedy, that has been used for 70 years or more by thousands of people all over the world, with the result that 1t has won an enviable reputa- ton as reliable household remedy, Take Beecham's for example. All the world knows Beecham's; a good ly part of the world uses Beecham's has been using it for years, handing its use down from father to son, from mother to daughter, for gem eratlon after generation, recommend ing it to others. In spite of such extensive and general use, who ever heard complaint or criticism of Beecham's? That in itself is a powerful recommendation.
 Don't take anything for granted. Reason it out. All druggists sell Beecham's-are glad to sell them.

Mir Editor: Appalling conditions of distress in Norwich are revealed daily in your printed letters. Personally. hope these letters continue They cause much joy and amusement to the people of Norwich that have any regard for truth, for law and for order.
 "A udiatur ct altera pars'' an old friend of mine used to beg. to our Latin mas ter when the dear old '+prof' became suddenly angry. Tn short he wanted his side of the question to be heard. So now I ask the public 10 keep from mis- judging our dog warden.
 I say here and now that Mir. Futile, 4 man I. do not know personally, Is the best friend the people of Norwich have today.

You walk along the rail- way track. You walk for whole hour the snow is deep. and although you are pleased to be in the fresh air again you are utterly exhausted. The wind pene- trates your light garments and you feel inclined to sit down and have rest at all costs. But no, the distance is great and you must walk on.
 After a long struggle with snow and wind you reach the village and find a peasant who may be willing to sell a few potatoes. You enter a low, dim hut with small windows.
 long discussion follows before you can persuade the sturdy peasant to sell you a few pounds of potatoes. On you go with your bag of potatoes, to catch a train to- Moscow As you walk along you turn over in your mind what you have heard from the peasant and what is more or less the opinion of the whole peasantry.

vile. a dog suffering from the rabies wandered into the town school yard. All the children had to be caied in. A few worthy American citizens succeeded in shooting the rabid brute. Oh, thanks be to the good and merciful God. that that dog did not raise havoc in that lit- tic village before he was shot.
 AS for the one who said doctor told her there has been no cases of rabies in Norwich for the past ten years, would she be so kind as to tell us whether the doctor was Ph. D. man or 3 den- tist?
 Dr. Coles states, and indeed he does know, for he thoroughly examines all the dogs shot, that there have been over a half dozen cases of rabid dogs here in our very town. How many dogs have played with these? Has yours? If he has been loose-maybe; if he has been tied up-then no.
 If there has been no serious disaster caused lately because of rabid dogs, 1t is because the dog warden, sturdy democratic, American citizen, has done his duty. He would be an unworthy stacker if he lifted the lid one iota. If I started a campaign for q home for starving children and another cam paign for a home for stray and destitute dogs the latter, I am inclined to believe would be quickly oversubscribed before the former would be thought Of. l Good luck to you, dog warden.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
By Digby Phillips. Copyrighted 1891

Many people think that giggling is the sign Of volatility. It isn't. { As mas been explained. it is the sign of an unusually active grain and high-strung tempera- ment. The true sign of volatility lies in the distance between the eye and the brow.
 Young ladies who insist on transforn- ing their eyebrows into those thin sharp lines should be careful to pluck the hairs from the top rather than the bottom of the eyebrow. so as to make its location soom as close to the eye as possible, for it's the distance from. not the closeness which denotes volatility of temperament
 Incidentally, volatility does not mend inability 10 think. but a lack of ten dency toward thoughtfulness. It's a tendency to habit more than an inabii- ity. This is an important thing to- re- member when facing a person who has such eyebrows, for there is always the possibility. if not the probability. that the person has realized and corrected this habit.
 If the high eyebrows are arched il de- 1 notes nartistic mad impractical tempr- anent coupled with the foregoing chsrao-

 Of the twenty-seven president of. the United States Grover Cleveland was the only one who went to Washington bachelor and took wife while living there, the marriage ceremony being per formed in the Blue room on June 2, 1886. The bride was Frances Folsom, of Buff falo. N. Y. The wedding was brilliant affair and the interest of the whole world was awakened in the event
 An account Of tn wedding noted that: The fair young bride entered like a morning sunbeam into the stately man. sion which she was to rule as the First Lady of the land. In the evening. amid a shower of rice and old slippers, she left it as the presidents wife, and the couple sped away to Deer Park the Allegheny mountains. followed Ly the ''aarty felicitations Of loG0. .o60 Ameri-
 ns and the rulers of nearly every coun-
 on the globe
 ay the Rev. Byron Sunderland. It was semi-private, but was followed by a pub lie reception. The flower decorations were said to he the most elaborate ever seen in the White Rouse up to that time The Marine Band struck up the Mendei- ssohn Wedding March at o'clock, at the same hour the first gun of a national sa- l Tut boomed from the arsenal and every church bell and whistle in the capital | added ct the din.
 l The ceremony was preceded hy a we'd | ding breakfast and an informal hrnchon. | The bride was glad to be entertained by the party. as the rush Of pubic business | kept the president busy. An informal 1 supper for fhe guests was served at the reception and at an early hour the bridal pair slipped through the private Red room | entrance to a Carriage and off on their 1 honeymoon.
 | An eyewitness relates that 'the silver l chandelir overhead and the crystal scones on the walls at the sides Of the | two great gilt-boFdered mirrors, brilliant. | ly illuminated the scene as the president with his bride leaning on his left arm advanced to the center of the room. Not | far frorS the brides left stood Mrs. Fol som( the brides motSer. and book of hel were grouped the secretaries. and close tC l the presidents right were Col and Mrs Lamont. the presidents secretary.

 The bride wore gown of ivory satin l with trimmings of Indian silk, carried nS flowers and wore no 5ewelry excsptins her engagement ring.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Protect General Public First.

Mir Editor: am a deputy dog warden. who is a friend of all dogs and the owner of nice little pet dog, who has to h. kept chained, and who knows how some people feel, who do not understand the law
 I found the first mad dog in Norwich this year. This dog would not ordin- arily have harmed anyone, but vet went mad and is misied by all who knew him on North Main street. I have known the owner to refuse $160 cash not two weeks before the dog went mad Nv own pup was the dog jumped on. by the second mad dog in Taftyille. while chain ed on my own veranda That bull dog was so far gone with dumb rabies that his jaws were paralyzed. In both cases I called the assistance of Dr Coles. our reliable veterinary.
 Although I have no time to lose. am ready to do my duty in re-enforcinr the dog laws Of this state, for the protection Of good dogs and the public in gen Ger al
 Our motto should be. to 'protect public in general first and the dog next"
 It Is not the family pet who is always to blame, because we know he is being taken care Of, But it is to protect this family pet. from other mongrels, half starved and not claimed by anyone. and which go from one village to the other spreading disease and causing damage wherever they go. By keeping your dog quarantined ac- cording to law. you give the commission 1 CT and his deputies chance to clean out these tramp dogs. so when the quar- antine order is over. every dog is ac: l counted for at the town clerks office | Every dog owner knows his dog to be i free of sickness. for the reason he had | the chance to watch his dog while he was 1 chained up, and knows that his dog was i not chewing on the same bone with one of these dirty mongreIs in the back lot | Don't blame Mir. whittlesey. he is do- | ing it for the best. For I know person ally he is a lover of dogs. And shows
 his love for dogs by doing his best tc protect yours. Any person who is not l of a boishevfE mind should believe 1T obeylng the laws ot the state, that were made and passed for the good of tho public in general. They should look UT | the following chapters before startius to abuse the authority of the commis sioner and his deputies, in the Public Acts relating to dogs. Sec 3401, Sec | 34O6, Sec. 3416 and Sec. 3414
 Now another thing, I would like to an
 swer some questions. In reply 10 Nancy F. Lucas in her letter of the 22d. tht
 meaning is that if the lady did no
 pay the s3 she would pay ST and cost! in court This was what the dog wardeI
 meant.
 Secondly I will tell you a secret, hoy
 to starve that hated dog warden.
 First, make sure your dog has
 collar and tag and securely .chainEC . in vour home or backyard as the lav calls for. And then you will find tn dog warden won't bother you, and vol will be in 8. Then if everybody does tn
 same. we'll all be happy. but the dogs
 But they will soon get used to It a mine did. Some people seem to worr
 whole lot about dogs, but, very littl about children in the streets. JOSEPH A. POTVIN. Norwich, Sept %, 1921.

THE KHAN ACTIVITIES.

There will not be much to be said in opposition to the resolution which has been introduced in the lower house of congress calling for an investigation of the Ku Klux Kan to determine whether it's activities are in conflict with the provisions of the United States Constitution. Efforts are being made at the present time to extend this or ganization throughout the country and for that purpose organizers are at work in the various states.
 In behalf of this new organization it is claimed that there is no intention of usurping state functions, attempting to establish a super government or of re- sorting to physical force against any element of the population, but that it's sole mission is to stamp out the bolshe- vik hotbeds and the anti-American agi- tations prevalent in the larger cities. F In such an aim it is to be realized
 that Americana in general have plen- ty Of opportunity for rendering service
 to their country, but there are evil dences that the organization is not re- stricted to any such mission. And if
 it were, or if it's sole purpose was the maintenance of law and order we haven't gotten to the point yet where
 such an organization can be permitted to take such task upon it's shoulders use it's own methods and draw its own line between the lawful and the law l less and then go about performing its self imposed task behind a mask.
 1 It may be that the new organization 1 is different from the old one. but if ii ! is it will stand investigation without finching. The upholding of law and 1 order is something which the citizens
 Of this country ought to be proud to d. without hiding behind 8 cloak or resort ] ing to threats. tar and feathers 0, lynchings to accomplish their purpose
 Such an organization by it's very act
 discleses it's disrespect for the law ant l only serves to make a joke out of it Instead of stopping lawlessness suct
 an organization is destined to create turmoil and strife.

Sunday Morning Talk
IS HELL PREACHED ENoUGHe

This is question that deserves to be carefully considered. There is no doubt that hell is very little preached, and yet it should be preached. Because in the first place hell exists. We see men grow ing worse and worse up to their dying day We see their character becoming absolutely fixed In evil and impenitence Often they seem unconscious of it, but we can see their punishment gathering slow Iy but surely, around them, even in their life. We have no grounds in reason or revelation for expecting any change to be forced upon them in another life. In the second place. hell should be preached because millions are going there. The world is fearfully wicked and no one can look over it with the thought Of eter- nifty in his heart and not tremble to view the enormous mass of misery speed ing to it's doom.
 In the third place. hell should be preached because the fear of the Lord
 is the beginning of wisdom! The love of
 God is the end of wisdom Fear must come first. The reason why the church's love of God is often so weak is because it is not firmly founded upon respect for His authority and awe at His Majes- tic power Sinners must be made to feel the terrors of the law. before they will appreciate the graces of the gospel. In the fourth place. even Christians need to be reminded of the peril of hell. We need to see the pit whence we were ! dug We need to put more spirit into 1 our daily prayer, fDeliver us from evil" 1 Again, men will honor a preacher that deals with such a strong theme. Men 1 long for virile reaching, preaching that | has to do frankly and forcefully with { eternal truths, and not with surface re- factions of them on our current his I tory.
 Dr. Cuyler once said: These are times for the utterances of Gods truth. Are We of the Christian miEi4try wholly 1 guiltless in regard to widespread col lapses of character? Have we lived UT
 to the Bible standard? Have we preach ed Sinai as well as Calvary? Let us not forget that God speaks from both mountains. Has there not been too much rose water preaching about Gods love and developing the manhood within us and an easy, velvet-footed religion whicf ignores the sinfulness of sin. and the cer tainty of hell. This is no time for let. ting down bars either in Christian doc
 urine or practice. From that dust O. humiliation and sorrow in which many l fallen ones are lying, comes a solemn voice of admonition to every preacher
 Let that minister of Christ who thinketl that he standeth on the sure rock O
 divine truth take heed lest he fat int,
 compromise with error, or eoncealmen of Gods just threatenings, or into conniv ance with soui-ensnaring sins
