LON UATE QOFING A AN AT E EATON-CHASE CO., NORWICH Dust-Laying Liquid Scientifically Ap- plied by Auto Truck. NEARLY 400 CASES OF THE BUBONIC PLAGUE. Tuesday the work of oiling the. city streets, a8 a result of a vote of the board of aldermen recently, was com- menced and the work was watched with great interest by knots of citi- Zens here and there where the oil was being applied by the compressing system. The oil is applied with a large au- tomobile oiling truck instead of the former water sprinkling cart and the n‘w device is a big improvement. The oiling was commenced at the town farm and Main street clear down to where the block pavement ends oppo- site the stone wall was thoroughly oil- ed. Church street between Main and Valley streets was also ofled and oth- er cross streets will be similiarly treated and then a portion of Pleasant wtreet, Jackson and other streets that are usually very dusty. The application of the ol by means of the auto sprinkler does not leave any pools and consequently the full benefit of the oil is obtained. The ma- chine is one that has just been used in the city of Bridgeport quite ex- tensively. The street committee of. the board of aldermen has contracted with the Standard Oil company for the oiling of 7,000 square yards of street. People living on the streets where the oil is applied will find that the oil will not inconvenience them as was the casein former years as it is said that the oil is 80 evenly distributed upon a smooth surface, cleaned of dust, that it cannot be tracked. ‘There will be no more dust and the streets will prosent a much cleaner and neater appearance. $1,000 has been appropriated by the city for the pur- pose this year but it is believed that the appropriation will be much larger another year if the new system works out as well as the work of the first day sives promise.

Brown has written the fol- lowing: Today, July 17tn, there is to be heild a town meeting in town hall to purchase new seats for town hall. The selectmen want to expend $672 to purchase seats that cost less than $1.20 apiece. They say they can't re- new the lease unless they make this change. Will the selectmen tell the voters today how they know they can't re-lease town hail? They haven't advertised for bids. | They don't belleve in advertising for bids, The last time town hall was re- leased it was done without advertising for bids, in face of the fact that thers were several purties who wanted it, one of whom would have paid 36560 a year for n five your leass, Thig is a | sutnple of the selecimen’s econemical way of conducting the town's business, When they say they ean’t re-leese town hall, they are stating what they doa't Lknow, und ean’t possibly Laow, until they have advertised for bids, As u malter of fust, (here are several parties teday whe weuld be glad to muke bids for tewn hall ia its present condition. ai a price the same or mere than what Mr. Carpenter now pays for it—§425, | The chairs (ke seiectmen have pur- chased are not fit for town hall.

A large part of every woman’s life is spent in fighting it. Water is her chief ally. The next in importance is Fels-Naptha soap. Fels-Naptha makes quick work of dirt wherever it is. Fels-Naptha is made especially for taking dirt out of clothes in cold or luke- warm water. Does away with boiling and hard-rubbing. No steaming suds; no red- hot stove; no nauseous odor through the - house; no back-breaking work. Clothe? washed with Fels-Naptha in cold or lukewarm water are cleaner and fresher and last longer. Try it and see. Be sure to follow directions on fthe red and green wrapper. Fels-Naptha removes any blemish, stain or dirt from woodwork, marble or metal. Try it too on pots, peas, dish- es and slks.
