 LOANS IN CONN.

Connecticut Savings, Building and Loan associations made 391 loans accepted for insurance by the Federal Housing administration for a total of $1,552,110 as of April 1, it was announced here today by John F. Gaffney, state director of the Connecticut office of the Federal Housing administration.
 Of the total of $68O4, ,425 in loans accepted for insurance by the Fed- eral Housing administration on Connecticut residential property by all approved lending institutions in the state on April l, the 16 savings building and loan associations there accounted for 22.81 per cent.
 MT. Gaffney pointed out that 207 of these loans have been made for the construction of new homes cost ing $859,370, for an average of $4,152 per home.
 The success of the insured mort- gage plan is attributed to the mort gage investment standards inherent in the administrations risk-rating system, the elimination of the bur- densome second mortgage, the small monthly payment made possible by the maximum 20-year amortized loan, and the inclusion of all the housing finance charges in one con- venient installment payment which is easily budgetted.

This was contrary to the views of certain powerful leaders in the Philippines. Thus started the Philippine Insurrection, which took the lives of many volunteer American soldiers and destroyed the health of thousands more.
 Even while American forces were putting down the insurrec- ton in the Islands, the Boxer Rebellion broke out in China, and this country had to send troops there to aid in saving foreigners ot many nations. There the vol unteers from the United States again proved they were the equal of any soldiers in the world. The first man over the wall of Peking was an American.
 The period of 1898-19O2, which we might say began with Dewey's great victory in Manila Bay, started this country on a course which has led us to be the most powerful nation in the world to- day.
 The period from 1898 to 1907 was the most prosperous this country has ever enjoyed. New industries sprung up in all sec- tions, foreign trade increased. Capitalists, workers, and farmers alike participated in the economic rejuvenation of the United States.
 This was due to the fact that our country had risen to first class power and commanded the respect of all other nations. Thanks to the men who served in the campaigns of 1898- 1902, the United States was given seat at the table of the mighty. We had ceased to be what might be called an outcast and had come into our own. The Army and Navy had demonstrated that this new nation was well able to hold up its end in any kind of an ar gument.
 Our treatment of Cuba and the Philippines also demonstrated that we were not self f-Seeking. This was something new to the chancellories of Europe. They could hardly understand that country would go to war without demanding indemnities once vic- tory was attained. Such a thing was beyond the comprehension of European politicians, who were always looking with greedy eyes upon the territory of other coun- tries.
 Not so the United States. We won freedom for Cuba and the Philippines and that was all we asked
 Our action in the Spanish War G898-1902) did more to increase our prestige as a world power than anything that has happened in American history.

 The only candidates on both party tickets exempt from filing reports of election expenses, irrespective of whether they had any or not, are the registrars of voters, candidates for auditors posts, baliffs and nomi- nees for the board of education.
 This means candidates for the following offices must file returns: warden, selectmen, tax collector, treasurer and burgesses. Next Tues day, May IS, is the final date for filing the reports, the law requiring the accounts must be made within 15 days after the election. There is a $25 fine for each day after that time in which the report is not filed.

May 1, 1898, marked the begin. ming of a new era in the history of our country.
 The War with Spain had offi- cially started on April 21 and it was generally believed all of the fighting would be in Cuba, since this country had taken to arms to free the people of that island from the tyranny of the Spanish rulers.
 The American people knew lit- tie about the ASiatic squadron of the Navy stationed at Hong Kong China, under the command of Commodore George Dewey. The commodore, however, had fore- seen the war and was prepared to overthrow the Spanish forces in the Philippines.
 With his squadron, headed by the flagship Olympia, he left Mfrs Bay, China, April 27, 1898, with orders to capture or destroy the Spanish squadron" which was then supposed to be in Manila Bay, under command of Admiral Montojo. The squadron entered the channel of Manila on the night of April 30, and early on Sunday morning, May l, sank, burned or captured all the ships of the Spanish squadron in the bay, silenced and destroyed three land batteries, and obtained com plete control of the bay without losing single man.
 "You may fire when ready, Gridley," became a world-famous phrase.
 That victory awakened the po- litical leaders throuout the world to a realization that the United States of America was country to be reckoned with. The states . men of Europe who had looked down upon this country as a sec ond-rate power came to know they were badly mistaken.
 Since that day the United States has been recognized as a leading power in the world fam fly of nations. Commodore Dew ey and the officers and men un- der him had demonstrated what this country could do when an emergency arose.
 Following the victory in Mani Ia Bay came military victories in Cuba and the destruction of the Spanish fleet at Santiago. The Government of Spain accept ed the terms of peace offered by the United States but there was still much for the United States to do.
 Having won freedom for Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, it became the duty of this coun- try to see that these countries were rehabilitated so that their citizens might enjoy the benefits of their newly acquired liberty.

NEW PREPARATION CHECKS POISONING

Those who take to the great out doors are constantly menaced by the annoyances of ivy and oak poison- ing, a+hlete fot, insect bites and other skin irrit-.tions.
 To come to the aid of those who have been accustomed to suffer like martyrs, the scientists of the Sea- board Chemicals Corporation have created unique preparation called EAz fpronounced "easeD, which employs combination of ingred- ients known to produce remarkable relief from the discomforts caused by fungus infections and other skin disorders.
 EAz employs the sound principle of preventing the spread of infec- tion by means of a transparent, antiseptic protective film that covers the irritated parts, and at the same time promotes healing. Another val- uable feature of EAz is that it con- taihs no grease or oil and therefore is absolutely stainless and odorless. The film forms it's own bandage and does away with the troublesome ad- hesive tape bandages.
 So confident are the makers of EAz of its ability to afford instant relief, that they offer this unusual preparation on an unqualified inoney-back guarantee basis. EAz is on sale at leading local drug stores.
