_ Another Box Wanted.
The two fires occurring within a
short time, on Spring Hill, calls atten-
tion to the fact that this thickly set-
tled portion of the town needs a fire
alarm box.
At present the residents of this local-
ity are. required to go to the box at the
corner of Belden avenue and Union
place, to send in a fire alarm, which is
quitea long distance in which much
valuable time is lost. ‘
The city authorities should at once
place a box at the head of Belden ave-
nue, where one is badly needed.

Sensational Newspapers.
In commending the action of several
clubs and public libraries, in excluding.
sensational newspapers from their files.
the Philadelphia Times says:
Every self-respecting library and club
asaociation of the country shduld imi-
tate their example. If they want-
ohscene and the most recklessly sensa-
tional literature, they should obtain it
mm the Police Gazettes, which: make
no claim to respectability, and they
should exhibit their appreciation of
legitimate American journalism by ex-
cluding from their files the newspapers
which are tO-day doing more to degrade
journalism and pervert the tastes and
poison the sentiment of newspaper
readers, than all other causes combined.
If American journalism Would not in-
vite the general contempt of an intelli-
gent public it must heroically: come to
the front and purge itself of the defam.
story and obscene freaks which claim
today to represent the progressive
journalism of the age. Such journalism
must be overthro .vn whenever public
attention is quickened to recognize the
incalculable demoraliz ition that must
follow the wide circulation of sensa-
tional nSWSpapers, with the flivor of
the brothel on every page.
Journalism is the great educator of

the public generally are vitally inter-

The Statement of a Norwalk
Citizen that May Save
"You Much Future
Trouble.
You contract a cold in the chest. One
that stays a while with you. It wen‘t
leave even after you have abused it- to
your heart’s content. You have to eject
it, break it up, or scatter it; Goose grease
freely rubbed in has been known to do
the trick. \Vell, arter you have gotten
it there is no reason why you should not
contract a second in a month or perhaps
in a year. Frail humanity is no more
cold proof than buttel proof. It is so
with other ailments of the body. Take
the kidneys. They go wrong and raise
an internal row. They often right them-
selves like the liver, without using any
medicine, but as a rule kidney troubles.
stay awhile. They linger on and recur
semi-annually or periodically and as the
victim ages he is crippled in the back——
twisted and contorted out of shape and is
a regular hotbed of pains and aches. If
you have anything wrong with your kid-
'neys follow the plan adopted by G. S.
Partrick of 127 Main street, Notary Pub-
lic, who says: “Mrs. Partrick had a
severe attack of backache. Just at the
time we both noticed an announcement
about Doan's Kidney Pills and came to
the conclusion if they only carried out
half what they promised, they would re—
move the trouble, My wife got a box at
Glendenning’s drug store, and took them.
They gave her relief. We can recom-
