Prostituting Journalism.
It is not surprising that the entire ‘
nevvspaper profession suffers greatly
from the just public criticism that comes
alike from the pulpit, from intelligent
and self-respecting social circles, on the
tendency of a few papers to make their
columns teem with the most nauseating
and sensational stories. This degrada-
tion of journalism is conspiriously exI-
hibited here in Norwalk, and unless
self-respecting journalism shall vindi4
cater itself by the manliest eipressions
against such prostitution of the great
educating power of the nation, our
journalism must steadily and rapidly
decline, not only in the respect of the
public, but in the proper and wholesome
infiulince it should exert.
Itwis not surprising that in all intelli-
. gent and lawtloving circles there is a
prefonnd dingSt for such journalism,
and it' logically teaches disrepute for
such journalism as a profession and
greatly lessens the power of our news-
papers to perform their high duties as
instructors of the American people. If
the press shall become degenerate, it
must mean that the people are becom-
ing degenerate also, and the fact that a
newspaper can so wholly prostitute it-
self to the worst possible uses and pour
out each day steady currents of such vile
rot fully justifies the general alarm that
is felt for the dignity and integrity of
the American press.

Tire in New Haven.
The New Haven Public market at 390
State street, that city, was scorched
and smoked by a fire which originated
from an unknown cause in the base-
ment of the building about 2 o’clock
this morning. The market was filled
with smoke before the blaze was dis-
covered, land before the department
reached the scene there was an explo-
sion caused by the pressure of smoke
and gas which shattered the front win-
dows. .
The damage from the fire was slight,
. but it may be found that the loss by
smoke will amount to considerable.

HOME SECRETS.’
Mothers Keep Them; But,
With a Little Light, There
Need Be None.
How carefully mother guards the
secrets of her boys and girls. At‘ night
as she carefully tucks the bed clothes
round them she chides and warns that
mother will be angry if «they repeat
last night’s offense softly saying to her-
self it’s only a habit, but I must break
'them of it. This is motlier’s mistake.
The children cannot help it, and sweet,
clean dry beds can be the resting place
of every child when it is understood
that the cause is not a habit but a weak-
ness that can be cured. _ Active life of
the little ones tends to weakening the
kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina-
bility to retain. the urine. This is a
condition not a habit, and should have
the same prompt attention you Would
give to the marked symptoms of any
disease. One Dean’s Kidney Pills,
taken twice a day and at bedtime, will
strengthen the kidneys of a' child, and
in a short time there will be no cause
to scold, for the so-called habit will
disappear promptly. Here’s a grateful
mother that adds her endorsement to
our words:
Mrs. William Wood Who lives at 130
.Colony street, Meriden. Conn., says:
“My little boy of 10 years of age but
always been troubled with weakness of
the kidnevs causing him to wet the bed.
So many mothers punish their children
for this, but I know he could not help
it. I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills
curing incontinence of urine in adults
and I thought they might help the
little fellow. I procured a box and
their use produced a marked benefit at
once. It is very seldom he does it now
and I shall continue giving him Doan’s
Kidney Pills until the kidneys are
sound and strong. It is only out of
gratitude that I permit publication but
the trouble is a very prevalent one and
most people from modesty or difiidence
do not speak of it. Physicians do not
apear to be able to cope with the trouble
and I consider it a mother’s duty to
tell others about it when she has found
a specific for this terrible annoyance.
Dean’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on re-
ceipt of price. Foster—Milburn 00.,

Remember the name Dean’s and take
no other.

Experience is the Only True Test.
F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Ofu
fice, Salem, Ore, says: “Out of the scores of
cough medicines in the market there is only
one I have any confidence in and that is
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.- I make this
statement after an experience of twelve
years’ use of this valuable remedy. Forcoughs
and colds it is splendid, but where its work
is infallible is with children subject to croup.
I keep it in my home at all times.” For sale
