funds are 50 scsrce as to cause much worry.
But when there is . system of voluntary
help there is bound TO be success. And we
believe that is responsible in large part for
Wsterbury's good showing in relief work.
Not that there isn't suffering or distress in
this city. We know there is plenty of it.
but we also know every effort is being
made to combat it.
If special session of the Legislature with
its pickering over some form of, universal
relief for the l69 towns of the state can
change present conditions we are all for it.
But we confess right now that we don't
think that even special session will change
conditions or restore prosperity. That is
attendant on much more than mere politi-
cal actions If Governor Cross is convinced
by the public welfare department at survey
that the session is needed, we know he will
Immediately call it, but nobody has yet
presented definite plan of action upon
which the legislators can vote If one isn't
worked out before they assemble. we can't
expect too much constructive legislation

What Will 1t Prove?

Governor Wilbur L. Cross has detailed
fare for Bridgeport. to conduct a survey
Of conditions in the larger cities of this
state upon which he will base his decision
with regard to special session of the Cen
crsl Assembly. According to letter that
the governor dispatched last week to all
mayors of Connecticut he finds it nee
cssary to have certain further information.
In order to secure this information.
have authorized Mr. Angus p. Thorne to
make survey of the Public Welfare depart
ments of each city and secure for my use
certain facts and figures which will give
me clear picture of just what is being
done in each of the larger communities to
aid unemployment.
We hope that the scope of Mr. Thornes
investigation will extend beyond the Public
Welfare departments of every city. We
think in practically all cases these bureaus
have not been able to cope with the situa-
ton. but have been forced to rely on aid
from private and other public sources. We
know right here in this city the public well
fare department could not hope to care for
one-half of the needy cases. As it is now
it probably exceeds its budget annually.
Most of such departments are constructed to
cope with normal conditions. That's why
in this city there is an unemployment re-
lief fund and other agencies seeking jobs
for the unemployed or ferreting out cases
demanding immediate attention from the
proper authorities.
That is the situation as we view it here
in Connecticut. We don't presume Water
bury's case is any different from that of the
average industrial community. But we do
think that, Waterbury has tackled the prob

by BRUCE CATION

As small boy, Roger Drayton
mooned in the library OF his
fathers southern plantation house
and absorbed the great stories of
the sea.
Early In his teens nc made
voyage with his uncle, master of a
gquarc-rigged ship. When his uncle
refused to make a sailor out OF
him he jumped ship, slowed away
on another sailing vessel and per-
sundcd Its captain to take him on
as a hand before the mast.
And so he began the traditional
climb--second mate. mate and
finally master, roaming the wide
world over, wandering spirit in a
wandering body. taking his bumps
and finding his spiritual bearings
in the age-old way Of the sea.
This is the thread. around which

1t Won't Be Popular

If the State Board of Fisheries and Game
follows. the advice of the Sportsman Advis-
DRY Council. it will recommend to the 1888
Legislature that fee of 81 be levied on
permits issued to minors for fishing privi-
leges in Connecticut streams. At present
all minors are allowed to fish without
license or without any taxation whatsoever.
Personally we would like to see this state of
affairs continue forever. Somehow or other
it strikes us as basieally wrong to assess
the boys and girls of this state one of whose
natural heritages are its streams and lakes
and forest.
We like to link boyhood with freekle-
faced youngsters wadng through foam
fleeked rapids or "geeing' cxeitedly at the
big one that got away. They are the
hunters and fishermen of coming genera
ton. 1t isn't fair to aequaint them so early
in the life that there is really little that is
free in this world of ours. We pay dearly
for all our enjoyments sooner or later Even
the fact that 1000 free permits were issued
by the fish and game department this season
we can't quite bring ourselves to the point
that we will endorse the present scheme
whereby additional revenue will be raised
to take care of the number of trout that
these 1000 permits may represent.
We aren't sure. just what attitude the
majority of our state legislators will take
towards the suggestion when it is preached
next year, but we know good share of
them. native born. will recall their younger
days when the woods and streams were
largely public property or. r if privately
owned. genrally open to the immediate
neighborhood. Those were the good old
days! Would that they could return in
some degree. We sincerely hope that if the
catches of the minors of the state are prov
ing so costly some other way of balancing
the budget than by assessing them will be
discovered. Any other alternative, no mat
ter what. is preferable.

(Austin Dobson In Poems In the

Little Blue Ribbons!" We call her that
From the ribbons she wears In her favorite
hat;
For may not a person be only five.
And yet have the neatcst of taste alive?
AS a matter Of fact, this one has views
OF the strictest sort as to frocks and shoes;
And we never object TO a sash or a bow,
When Little Blue Ribbons' prefers It So
Little BIue-Ribbons' has eyes of blue.
And arch little mouth where the teeth peep
through;
And her primitive look Is wise and grave.
With a sense Of the weight of the word
"behave!"
Though now and again she may condesctnd
To radiant smile for private friend;
But to smile for ever Is weak you know.
And Little Blue Ribbons" regards It so.

TRAILING THE "TOxIN" TO IT'S LIAR

Sooner or later in expounding any Illness or
Impairment of health the neoteric healer ar
rives at the underlying cause poisons In the
system and his cure is plausible that even
the dumbest customer-and only the dumpes.
accepts it. Just eliminate the poisons and
you're as good cured-nature Will attend 10
the restoration of your original good health.
Nature can do everything-except dispose OF
these nasty posons that somehow clutter up
your system IL you neglect to eat the Things
the neoterc healer deems fit to eat.
Sometimes the old hokum becomes Dit
tiresome and the near-doctor varies 1t by
ascribing everything to toxins instead or pois-
ons Even the charlatans who profess to rldl-
Guile the germ theory are fond Of telling their
customers how to get rid of toxins" which is
paramount to saying the germs have nothins
to do with illness but you must dispose OF the
poisons produced by the germs IL you wish to
get well. The quacks are naively unaware or
it but toxins simply can't happen unless germs
produce them.
From away back in the days when physic
physicked the laity has cherished settled con-
viction that health, life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness all depend upon Tree ana
regular action of the bowels. Old time ply
sicans did nothing to correct this obsession.
Modern quacks are desperately striving to
keep 1t alive, for it is on this ground they must
make their last stand.
For years | have been doggedly maintaining
that nothing Is or can be absorbed through the
broken skin. Many a ponderous professor or
evanescent authority has furtively disputed my
teaching, but no one has proved by actual ex-
pertinent or test that the skin VIII absorb any
thing.
7. Now venture to make another arbitrary as
sertion, the ground Of much study and oh
servation, and again challenge the old timeSs
to dispute it IL they can. SO far as human
health is concerned nothing harmful Is ever
absorbed from the bowel into the blood. No
poisoning" of the system, no "autointoxica-
ton" ever occurs In that way.
Tom, Dick and Harry may as well be
warned right here that have no intention of
arguing with them about their morbid little
notions, does my denial Of the 'autointox-
cation" fancy imply that will tell you what
ails you, then IL 1t isn't that. have no time
for such idle speculation. IL anybody Is to re-
flute my assertion he must do 1t with facts not
questions.
There may be some physicians Of standing
who still ply patients with high priced nostrums
purportng toremedy "autontoxcation". 1t Is
my observation and belief that no remedy or
treatment or diet or bowel wash or what have
you that purpofts to diminish stop absorb
ton of toxic waste or products of putrc-
faction" from the bowel Is worth using. am
firmly convinced that the only kind of auto
intoxcation" that can possibly account for III
health or even temporary indisposition is low
metabolism, slowing Of the internal combus-
tion process under oxygenation of the body.
And the best remedy for this Is speeding up
Of metabolism, in whatever way that may be
brought about. ~
