GIVE Us a VIEW CHARTER.

There Is published today in its full
form the text Of the proposed new char
ter for the city of Norwich. For years
and years It has been maintained that
the city was handicapped by its sold
minds Of those who have had any ex-
perience with city business that there
ought to be new document.
Taking advantage Of deciding for
ourselves what would be best for us, in
stead of having the legislature act upon
petition of citizens, the charter COM

which the only purpose has been to
meet the requirements of the city in the
best manner possible the commission

Tired. ACHING FEET

If you suffer from tender feet you
should take cold foot spray every
morning and every evening. Get the
tonic effect of the full pressure of the
cold water from the faucet upon the
feet. Dry the feet thoroughly with a
Turkish towel paying special atten-
ton to the spaces between the toes.
Rub the feet with alcohol and powder
chem with boric acid. Tender feet
may be rubbed to advantage with
witch hazel to which spirits of cam
phor has been added. one or two ia
blespoonfuls to four ounces of witch
hazel. It is also beneficial to rub a
little olive oil into the feet after the
bath. Alcohol or vinegar is soothing
to tired, aching. sore feet. Common
baking soda also affords relief.

Great Mems Love Letters
MIRABEAU AND SOPHIE DE MON
NIER

MIRABEAU AND SOPHIE DE MON
NIER
There are few historical characters
about whom SO much is known as Mira
beau, and none of whom it is so impossi-
Bile to describe accurately or dispassion-
ately. BY some writer's he has been
described as monster, and by others as
fascinating. He must have had a re-
markedly strong personality TO have
welded so much power, and he must have
been endowed with considerable attrac-
tiveness to have had so many love affairs.
That Mirabeau was susceptible to love
is shown in conversation he had with
Gilbert Elliot, when he was just rising to
fame: Eyes, 1 was born to be king
he exclaimed, and I feel 1 should do JUS
tice to the role. But my kingdom must
be a kingdom of love. To love and be
loved, that is what I wish for, not for
power or for glory. I often fancy that
she whom seek is dreaming Of me- and
that some day I shall wake her from her
Dream
The first serious love affair of Mira
beau was with Emile de Marignane.
This marriage turned out to be an IN
happy one for both, and when Mira
beau discovered that his wife was I'M
faithful, there was an exciting scene
which ended in her deserving him and
her refusal to return.
It was at a fete at Pontarlier that
Mirabeau met Madame Sophie de Mon
nier, who was to play such an important
part in the latter years of his life. Be
fore the ball YVES over not only had So
phie plunged headlong into the abyss
| whose depths she sought to plumb, but
even her husband had yielded to Mira
beaus terrible gift of familiarity" Mir
abeau tried to fight off his attachment.
Sophie was very unhappy in her marriage
so they eloped.
Following the escapade Mirabeau was
arrested and confined IN Vincennes and
| Sophie in the penitentiary at Bensacon.
| During their confinement several hum
bred letters were exchanged through the
connivance of Boucher. 1t was in this
style that Sophie wrote to the man who
| had sacrificed so much for her: 81 am
obliged to write you in my bed with the

which l can be private. But why. do /

srRnNerHENINo NARcoTIcs law.

For the purpose Of curbing the traf-
nc in narcotic drugs there was adopt
ed the Harrison law q few years ago b.
congress. This placed restrictions upon
the sale Of dope in its various forms
made it necessary to keep record Of
the amounts sold and the name Of the
purchaser and thus undertook to con-
troll the sale with the idea Of checking
the demoralizing business. Not only
was it seen to be advisable to reduce
the number Of addicts but It was Of
even greater importance to prevent the
steadily increasing number Of new dope
users. Likewise there was appreciated
the help that it would be in reducing
the amount Of crime.
The Harrison drug law has been the
means Of bringing to light conditions
about which little was known. Few had
any idea the grip which habit forming
! drugs had gotten upon the people Of
this country. and the deplorable effect
| 1t was having upon the young. The Law
was great blessing, hut from time tt
time it has been demonstrated that Il
didn't accomplish all that was desired
that there were weak spots in 1t which
ought to be strengthened and that fur
Their legislation was needed.
Congress recently adopted such Law
and it is gratifying to note that Presi
dent Harding has promptly signed it
BY 1t there is created a federal narcotic
board, made up Of the heads Of tn
state, treasury and commerce depart
ments, which has the power to authoriz
the importation of such quantities o
the crude material from which the drug
are made, thus placing a much desire4
check upon the importations, while 1t
also provided that q fine Of $1,000 o
ten years Imprisonment can be impose
for violations, while any alien convicte
is to be deported.
Smuggling of drugs has been exten
sively engaged in and it is to be hope
the new powers provided will placed tn
desired check thereon.

OLD STOCKINGS

This is the way that one. woman
utilizes old socks or stockings:
The toes and heels and the bottom
of the feet of mems socks become
worn out. while the remainder is of
ten sound and strong, and by cutting
them over you can make whole stock
ings for the little tots for everyday
wear. Simply turn the sock wrong
side out, press down smooth and flat,
lay a child's stocking of the reouired
size on it and stitch around it, then
cut it out, lay the seam open and over
cast the edges to the stocking and
turn right side out again. In this way
you can make several pairs of good
serviceable stockings in a short time.

DAUGHTERS CLOTHES

Simple, dainty clothes and plenty of
them is the rule followed by the wise
n5other in the arrangement of her
young daughters wardrobe. Elaborate
trimmings are in. poor taste to begin
with, and they are never satisfactory
in the long run.
For sturdy warm weather frocks
for children sateen is material much
favored this season. Both plain and
figured fabris are popular and some
braceded effects are also offered. A
frock of pink brocaded sateen recently
seen, for a girl of years was trim
med with narrow puffs of white or
CANDY set into the skirt, finishing
round neck and short sleeves, and a
wide sash of the organdy was tied in
flaring bow at the back.

TO REMOVE DENTS IN FUR.
NITURE

If the furniture becomes dented in
any way do not be discouraged, for
dents, can be remoy ed. Dampen the
dent with warm water, make a pad
of brown paper, dampening this thor
oughly, lay it on the dent and over
all hold hot iron.
The warmth causes the wood to
swell up and fill the dented part With
some dents the process is slower than
with others, but it is a positive rem
edy for all of them.

UTILITY FRock

The sleeveless, slipover frock with
cape to match is an Ideal utility frock.
While now new, really having been
shown for several seasons and in va
rious fabrics, each season introduces
sufficient variety in the range of ma
teriaI and trimming effects SO that
this type of costume does not register
as passe.
fnock is made of novelty checked
flannel or other wool fabric, prefer
ably a .double-faced fabric being Sc
lected, so that the cape may be plain
on one side and plaid or checked on
the other, and usually so finished that
it is reversible.

WHEN BABY SLEEPS

If baby kicks the covering off her
rubbercloth or .oilcleth mattress pro-
tector, slip it inside an old pillow slip
or make a covering out of tubing or
an old blanket or sheet. Never put
baby on the bare rubbercIoth, even
with her clothes on, as it always feels
cold. If baby's back sweats put a pad
over the rllbbercloth. Cloth grain bags
or pieces of old blankets folded up are
better than pads, because they can be
unfolded to wash, and they dry quick

WHEN FURNISHING THE
KITCHEN

If you have clear wall space in
the kitchen, invest in a plain deal. cup
board, fitted with shelves and draw
'ers, SO that when the doors are closed
everything is protected from dust.
1t is an excellent plan to have doors
made for the dresser, enclosing the
whole of the top and turning it into a
cupboard. If liked, the plates can be
arranged in neat piles according to
their sizes, on the dresser table, while
the shelves above may be devoted to
