Nerves Shattered, Lady Trembled at
 the Slightest Noise
Says sWincarnis" Restored Her Healt
NOW "A VERY HAPPY WOMAN

'Twould like you to know how your wonderful Wincarnis restored me to- health after months of suffering" writes Mrs. Elizabeth Mcclure, POS West 101st Street, New York City.
 Ten months ago I began 10 lose my strength. My household duties became burdensome. I felt exhauste after the slightest exertion. Day by day my weakness increased until soon I was hardly able to walk across the room
 Then my nerves got into such a ter rible state that at the slightest noise used to tremble, my legs would shake and my heart would beat violently causing me to gasp for breath. I was indeed a sick woman. In my terribly weak and nervous state I grew des- pondent and lost all interest in life. l tried hard to fight against this des- pondency, but my weak, nervous con- dition was too much for me. 1 had practically no willpower left. One afternoon a friend called to see me and she was shocked at my pitiable condi- tion. She went out and brought back bottle of "Wincarnis" and insisted upon giving me dose right away. continued taking "Wincarnis' three times day and it's effect has been al-

CABINET RUAIORS.

Possibly there will be resignations from the presidents cabinet within Ahe year. That would break no precedents and the fact that such thing might hap pen does not give any assurance to the rumors which have been set afoat that several of the posts are to be vacated.
 The latest of these reports has to do with a break between President Harding and Secretary Hughes but it is builr up- on the fimsiest foundation and bears no mark of plausibility. President Hariing undoubtedly characterizes it properly when he terms it silly. To undertake to weave a tale about the personal interprc- tation which the president gave of the Pacific agreement relative to Japan as the reason for the differences fails to do justice either to the secretary or the president. They are not and have never been striving for the overshadowing of the ether. However unfortunate the pub licity that was given to the presidents view of the treaty terms before it was known what interpretation had been agreed upon among the delegates it was overcome by the presidents subsequent correction. and it is possible now through the suggestion by Japan that the inter- pretation agreed to may be amended so that tlat country does not appear to get any special advantages over the others In regard to it's homeland.
 It is to be realized that any of the cabinet members are making sacrifices in the holding of such posts in view of theiT ability to command much higher salaries n other fields, but they entered the cab met as an aid to country and the ad- mlnistration. They are men of recognized ability in whom the president has conf dence or he would not have appointed them. In the present administration il Is not self glorihcation that is being sought but the accomplishment of those things which are for the best interest, of the nation. Thus it can be appre eiated that the president was moderate In his criticism when he declares tho rumor to be silly.

OUR NEW ROADS.

Gratifying progress has been made in behalf of better highways in this end of the state during the past several years. It is attention which has long be3n need ed and it is to be hoped that thare will be a continuation of the policy of build- ing and maintaining good roads both through the efforts of the states and the towns. No one needs to have pointed cut the advantages of the Military highway along the east side of the Thames river nor of the magnificent road that has not been completed between Norwich and Westerly, in serving the towns through which they are built.
 Quite as advantageous for four other towns will be the concrete highway be- tween Colchester and New London anG Colchester and Hartford which. while il Involved a much greater expense is SC constructed that it will last for d long period of years with slight outlay fol upkeep.
 Particularly interested just now are the people of Norwich in the com2letor of that section Of highway between Col chester and Norwich which will provide I direct. shorter and improved route be .ween Norwich and Hartford and furnisf 10 the north central part of the state ar Improved line of highway communica tion direct to the southeastern cornel through this city.
 Highway travel has greatly increased in the past two decades because of H., automobile and the improved roads Road building has long since become on of the big responsibilities of the stat and it seems probable that it will in crease before it grows less in order tha all sections may be served. The -enGan cy is toward the permanent construction the most expensive to build but th cheapest in the long run because of th reduction in uDkeeD expense.
 No section through which trunk line or improved roads are constructed ca fail to appreciate their benefit. Easter Connecticut has needed shsm sadly i the past and there are wants which has reason to believe will be filled in th not distant future through the consider ate attention of the highway commis sloner and his assistants.

CUTTING GOVERNMENT EXPENSES,

Economy has been the watchword in connection with all army and navy bills for more than a half year. That doesn't mean that these military branches of the government are going to be neglected but that at the present time there is great need for ietrenchment and when condi- tions in all lines get back to stability it will be possible to then determine what can be put forth as the permanent policy for the conduct of the army and navy.
 Navywise 1t is fully understood that the United States has made big sacri fees in equipment plans and investment in putting forth it's limitation pro- gramme. Before that it had insisted up on a large reduction in the naval quota and since then it has offered to bring about still more radical cut in the submarine tonnage. 4 has done much that is bound to impress others with the sincerity of it's purpose in inviting in ternational peace through the reduction of naves and ending the heavy expen. dltures in the feverish race for naval su. premacy.
 As if it was not satisfied with what fl had done and felt the need of further demonstration there has now been an. nounced the decision of the navy depart ment not to hold the joint nnanoeuver. of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets in tht spring. This is directly due to the cur tailment of appropriations and comes a a time when such training would be don, under greater expense than possible il another year.
 It is not held to be 8 permanent pol icy. Proper training of what maya forces are going to be maintained can not be neglected but in shouldering it part of the effort to reduce expenditure the department figures that this join practice can be dispensed with this yea and be made up in other ways. Ther are good reasons to believe that if ther were danger involved in the plan would not have been decided upon.

 From the scaffold Vane surveyed the surrounding multitude with composure and sought to speak to them of English liberty, wishing to confirm the wavering and convince the ignorant by his martyr dom. His voice was overpowered by trumpets. Not disconcerted by the rude ness. he foretod to those around him that better day would dawn in the clouds though they were coming thick CT and thicker for a season"
 Blessed be God exclaimed he. as he barred his neck fo rthe axe q have kept a conscience void of offense to this day and have not deserted the righteous cause for which I suffer" In the history of the world he was the first martyr to the principle of the paramount power ot the people. and, as he predicted, "his blood gained voice to speak his inno. cence."

PROTECTION AFTER COLLISIONS.

Examples which serve to emphasize the need of giving more attention to safety measures are steadily being brought to attention through the daily chapter of accidents. It is plainly evident that great aid Is certain to be obtained through talk Ing precautions, and that through such means accidents can be anticipated and protection given in much greater num- Der of instances than are revealed from day to day.

The first train was of steel cars and the second of wood. Had all been of steel the presumption is that those in the wooden cars would have es- saped without injury even as did those ln the steel train ahead. The fact that there were wooden cars wasn't the cause of the wreck but had the riders all been protected by steel equipment the added F1eguard which prevailed in the case ot

ECONOMIC CONFERENCE


 Conferences between nations have fea- tured the past several years because Of the war. It was necessary during the war and it is quite as important now that the war is over both for the purpose of bringing about the necessary read justments and the reaching of agree ments regarding future conduct looking to peace. N
 It is not to be supposed that the con- ference at Cannes will overshadow the one now in session at Washington. The purpose of the respective gatherings is decidedly different one is to deal with the question of future peace through un- derstanding and disarmament, while the other is to deal with the economic prob lens involving Europe In view of our war loans and our foreign trade we are naturally much interested. However while we are not member of the league of nations we are to be represented at the conference by Ambassador Harvey that this government may be kept in close touch with the progress of that conference.
 Europe still has it's troubles and they will not abate for some time. There has been talk about the cancellation of war debts by several nations, and there is a proposition put forth by bankers and manufacturers of the allied countries which aims at the reestablishment of Flu ropes international credit through a l partnership of European nations where | by the trade and credit arrangement of | all European countries would be con trolled and which wuold serve to ring about stabihzation of exchange. The plan is reported to be regarded with favor among the leaders and it 1. the desire that this country should bt | included therein. Naturally this govern ment would know more about 1t. That i Is concerned with the trade in other coun tries and over the loans which 1t ha made to them goes without saying. Pos sibly there is nothing objectionable iron our standpoint in the plan as propose; but it deserves to be and will be scru tinized with care and from every angle Present day conditions do not make possible for us to exactly say that VI are not concerned in the economic affair of Europe.

Truthful Wrinkles.

Truthful Wrinkles.
 Men and women think they conceal their thoughts and habits of mind. but they cannot. Though they do not realize it. they write the story of their thoughts and attitude toward the world plainly across their faces, where the world may read if it choose-though for the most part the world is too busy with it's own thoughts to bother.
 Just as inherited tendencies of mind and character are revealed to the scien- life characterologist in one set of indi- cations, so the acquired or developed character of the individual Is revealed in another set.
 To the latter classification belon1 wrinkles
 Do you know there are certain specifia furrows and lines of the face that meas ure the individuals love of truth?
 You;. lind them around the eyes. They are made by the muscles surrounding the eyes. And unless the individual is of some particular calling which requires a straining of the eyes in long-distance vision, you can accept them at their face value. They come there quite naturally. Try 1t yourself Concentrate your mind on trying to get at the truth of some puzzling matter, and youIll note that un- consciously you have begun to suuint even if but slightly, as though in an ac- tual physical effort to see through it.
 The man or woman who habitually tries to get at the exact truth of things and therefore has a high regard for the value of truth, gradually acquires these wrinkles caused, by tensing the muscle: surrounding the eyes.

 Renting out room, to be more spe- cific.

 It was only last month that there was large loss of life in a train wreck in Pennsylvania. Human failure made the wreck possible but after the smash had occurred 1t was the wooden cars which furnished food for the flames and per- mitted the fire to roast alive those who would otherwise have been rescued.
 Thus while there is need for greater protection iB connection with the opera tions of trains 1t cannot fail to be rec ognized that there is good reason back of the plea for the replacing of the wood en cars with that type of equipment which makes the protection of the trav- eler greater in case an accident due to some other factor occurs.
