 To take off fat--take one half of Kruschen Salts in a glass hot water in the morning be- fore breakfast. To hasten results go light on fatty meats. potatoes, cream and pastries-one bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but q few cents--get 1t at any drugstore in America.

 Don't accept anything but Krus- chen because you must reduce safely.

 A short time ago We discussed the hold-up at no trump. Generally the hold-up applies only to the de- clarer, but the following hand Is unusual and interesting due to the fact that first the declarer applies the hold-up in an endeayor to make his contract, hut West de- feats the declarer.s play by making use of the hold-up himself.

No Def1ation For Gigli

Principle is curious thing. Benjamino Gilgli. brilliant and popular tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company. feels con. strained by principle to refuse a cut in his salary along with the other opcratc artists. So he is resignng. He says by forfeiting his contract he will lose S300,0OO, but that IS better than to crimp his ethical and artistic style by submitting to the indiqnitv of pay cut The fact that survival or fall of grand opera in New York seems to denend on getting down to a more economical basis makes no difference to him.
 Gsli talks surprisingly like congressman
 he Metropolitan has not been my work. shop, he says, but rather the temple wbere lived In spiritual communion with inc thousands of listeners" Evidently this ar. tist IS so constituted mentally and tempera- mentally that he could not commune at 10 per cent less. Which no doubt, is just the way our anti-economy representatives at Washington feel about their spiritual com. munion with their own dear public. This sort of communion is one of the things that drive ordinarily calm people to Commun- ism.

Redouble All Efforts

The death of war veteran in the New Britain General Hospital last week caused its superintendent Dr. T. Eben Reeks, to de- clare that Tt is high time that provision was made for the care of Connectieut's tu- . berculosis sufferers" Years ago we made the same plea as Dr Reeks makes today. but we were under the impression that in its last two sessions the Legislature has shown itself more kindly disposed towards the de- mands and pleas of the state tuberculosis commission than at any time in the history of tuberculosis relief work in this state. {. s The history of the case which drew forth the complaint from the New Britain medi- cal man is pathetic. The dead man was at one time denied admittanee to both the New Britain and Bristol hospitals for the simple reason that they were not equipped to Isolate a patient in his stage of the disease. Evidently there were no isolation hospitals in the vicinity where he could be placed either The waiting lists at the various state sanatoria were so long that it might have been a year or more before he could have been admitted.
 The man finally obtained permission to utilize a small shack in Bristol, that had : originally been, intended for a chicken coop. Here he dwelt under medical sur veillance until his condition was so critical to demand the care that only can be found 7 in a hospital or similar institution. He was admitted to an isolation ward in the New Britain hospital last Tuesday. but died Thursday night. His army records were missing which. of course. denied him gov ernment aid. In short the case was unus- ual from start to finish. all the more so since Connecticut is really doing enviable ! work in the relief of tuberculosis sufferers sDr Stephen J. Maher of New Haven as head of the tuberculosis commission has waged long and hard battle to secure the necessary state aid. Of recent years he had reason to feel some degree of elation. Ap grsoprations for additions at the existing sanatoria were more easily obtained. An expansion program is now under way. The sanatorium for children at Mantle will soon hc entirely rebuilt at Waterford. Cities like Waterbury have turned over wings of their Isolation hospitals for the use of patients who are waiting admission to the state san- otoria. When we read of such occurrences as the New Britain case we wonder if even the. efforts we have put forth of recent years sarc going to be of any avail It should be "a warning to our state legislators that what . little they have done for our state institutions is merely scratch on the surface. We must rcdouble our efforts to care adequately for every tuberculosis sufferer in Connecticut

He went to the Charities and got the names of families in the vincinity who were getting assistance. Then he asked them if they would like to help build the little park They would. Soon he had dozen men working. Tools appeared miraculously. Owners contributed trucks. As the rubbish was cleared off loads of topsoi began to appear. then einders and shrubbery and trees. Almost everybody. when the project was mentioned. was willing to contribute But it was all labor and materials No money was handled at all.
 The inspiring thing was the way those poor fellows worked. They enjoyed it.. And they said other unemployed men would much rather be doing useful work like that. than loafing. which is probably the truth. As the park began to emerge, other things happened. too. The neighborhood somehow began to slick up. There were signs of window washing. even of painting and papering. Yards were cleared out and little gardens started. Window boxes showed here and there. Great is the power of ex- ample And great is the natural love of men. women and children for beauty, or der and constructive work. Sometimes though they need starter. And this is one of the times to do such starting. at strategic spots in almost any town or village

Akron to Memphis

There are surprising differences in Amer. iean cities with regard 10 crime Akron. Ohio is feeling proud of her homicide rec. ord which was only 6.6 last year per l00,- 900 population, whereas the national record as "a whole was lQ.9. Akron's standing so far this year. if continued. would bring her record down to 5.l. It is big jump from this figure to the 52.2 homicides per l00.- 900 charged to Memphis. Between the two extremes lie New York city, with its moder- ate record of 8.3, and Chicago, with its l4.l rates. The latter city is obviously not So bad as it is painted. when you get down to cold statistics
 Just why so many of our cities should rise to evil eminenec in this respect is hard to explain. Several are only little below Memphis. Doubtless there are special rca- sons in their cases, racial and otherwise. But why should our nation as whole have more than three times as many murders as an equal population in Europe' Crime is. year in and year out, our greatest problem. And so far there is little evidence that the country is profiting as it should by the cele- brated Wiekersham report.

Wickersham, Too

The growing list of public figures who realize that prohibition has so shaken the Foundations of this nation that its place in !the Constitution should be determined by a national referendum includes today the name of George w. Wiekersham the same man who was chairman of President Hoov- CTS law enforcement commission. He de- clares that referendum on the question would provide needed equalization of the sober. informed. and deliberate opinion of the people v Inasmuch as few, save those uninformed. are opposed to national referendum We think that Congress should climax this hectic session in which it is now engaged by authorizing the same not to be held coneurrently with the approaching state and national elections.
 We make this exception not that we fear the consequences of referendum next No- ivcmbcr But to avoid confusion the issue should be separated from those now under discussion. In addition there are many states going to vote on the question or similar ones and national referendum vote would merely confuse matters. as we'll as clutter up the voting machines and ballot sheets We propose national referendum between the time that we elect the next president and his inauguration. The result could be placed be- fore him with the exhortation that he use his power as chief executive to see that the wishes of the majority be executed.
 It may be recalled that Mir Wiekersham was one of the four members of the famous commission who felt that prohibition should have another chance. inasmuch as their opinion was that the enforcement of the liquor laws was at fault and not the stat utcs behind it. Of course. Mir Wiekersham's proposal for national referendum contain cd the suggestion of state conventions. We see no need for such unless the 18th amendment is actually going to be repealed or revised. However. if it is to be taken as granted that majority of the voters of the < United States are in favor of change in the present prohibition situation then we can proceed to record the vote by states but by the more popular state conventions and not by the Legislatures.

The only national park that New England boasts has an additional attraction to lure
 tourists this summer. The U. S. govern ment has just completed and thrown open to the motoring public a magnificent 22- foot highway leading to the top of Cadillac Mountain which is the highest peak in Aea- dia National Park on Mt Desert Island. It required almost four years to build the road which is indeed lengthy period in these days of modern construction. However one trip over it will explain everything. It is described as a monument to engineering skill and eventually may become one of the most scenic driveways in the world. It is said that on clear day an observer can see clear across Maine to the White Noun tains of New Hampshire and north to Mount Katahdin. highest peak in Maine. We presume that New Ensland's only na- tional park will be well patronized this

 Son Grlnds Teeth in Sleep Nine year old son, 55 inches high, weighs only 75 pounds. Have had several doctors and child specialists to look after him for the dreadful grinding of teeth at night. They don't seem to find q remedy. One prescribed worm medicine. The child has no worms. (Mrs C. E. M.)
 Answer--worms my eye. Probobaly most children harbor worms at one time or another but rarely do they suffer any disturbance from them. Careful study of large groups of chil. dren who were known to have worms. and of other groups in similar environment who were known to be free from worms showed that grinding of the teeth prevailed as much among one group as among the other. That's just too bad for the old grannies and the nostrum ven- dors, but 1t Is good news for the kids. Some oi these days I may break out and give my arbi- trary--oh 1t is sure to be arbitrary--opinion oi the cause and cure of grinding the teeth in sleep But don't know enough yet. have only vague notion that shortage of calcium in the child's diet may have something to do with 1t z. that the diet is too rehped and deficient in frcsh fruit, green vegetables, raw milk and unpasteurzed butter

Caldwell. Virginia. near Charleston. has just lost one of its historic and famous cov- cred bridges. Over the protests of patriotic and other organizations the bridge was con- demned and dynamited. It was built in 1874, but the wooden superstrueture wasn't added until 1871 when covered bridges were quite the thing. It was about this time that the bridge became known as wishing bridge" due to the common stories about wishes coming true that natives were spread ing. Too bad the state didn't notify Henry Ford about the covered bridge. He is in that field in search of material for his museum of Americana. E

sales to jails. Even if the bill should be passed without delay, 1t would be a year or more before the prisoners could be removed from the old jails. In that space of time more prisoners would be confined for a year perhaps without an op- portunity to get outdoors to breathe the fresh air; with the almost cer- tain result that they would return to society handicapped physically for the struggle to make an hon. est living. Many others, perhaps for no reason except that they could not provide bail would be confined 22 hours a day for months at a stretch without opportunity for outdoor exercise, indoor rccre- ation or occupation.
 Fortunately the commission did not limit itself to recommendation which would take time, but gave also It's advice as to what could be done immediately to ameliorate conditions without interrupting the routine in the jails. The Sheriff In charge of the Hartford County Jail had suggestions himself to lay before the commission. He would like to see the bucket system re. placed. a room provided for exer- else and recreation, a separate sec ton assigned to the bound-over prisoners, among others.

Release of Albert B. Fall. former secre. tary of the interior from the federal pcn- tentiary at Santa Fc, New Mexico. closes another chapter in the sensational adminis- tration of the late Warren G. Harding It was just twelve years ago that the republ- can party diekered around until the little known Ohio senator became the choice of the g.o.p. convention. With the election of Harding the fun began. What list of notabes CD trooped to Washington in the late presidents wake. And how they im- posed upon his good nature. For everybody will admit that his good nature was per- haps the outstanding trait in Hardings makeup And what infamous schemes to muet the government of millions these self same friends of the duly-elected president eoncocted and actually put into operation, Yet the bunch, Daugherty and Fall, the cab. inet members Caston B. Means. and others too numerous to mention, have encountered serious obstacles in their private lives Means has just bobbed into print again in what looks like his Waterloo. Fall will retire to his ranch in New Maxieo broken in health and spirit. Here is the classic ex- ample of the futility of trying to put some. thing over on good old Uncle Sam. He may not move with the eelerity many would like to have him. but like the mills of the gods he grnds slowly and thoroughly. And despite the frantic efforts of MT Daugherty to absolve himself from the taint of the Harding administration he will find himself still well daubed.
