He stated that there were to be two more smokers in the course of the member- ship campaign, which was to end at the first meeting in April He introdoced Dr. J. J. Donohue as the chairman of the evening, and the doctor took the chair and conducted the social session and programme that followed in his usnal easy manner. He spoke briefly and impressively of the benefits of Forestry and the fine stand- ing of the three Norwich courts. He concladad his remarks by introducing Professor Daubler for a programme of. sleight-of-hand. The professor mystified and delighted | his audience with his tricks and clever illusions, many of them new ones ' which he was introducing for the first | and he was loudly applauded. ’ part of the programme was fol- lowed by further speaking in which those who were heard from in an'in-| teresiing way were Mayor T. C. Mur phy, a member of Court Clty of Nor wich, Past Chief Ranger Harry Knowl ton of New London, Past Chief Rang- ers Frank Quinley of Court Quinebaug, John Callahan of Court Sachem, Wil- liam Mahoney of Court City of Nor- wich, Joseph D. Pfeiffer and William Blackburn, who has offered prizes to two members of Court City of Nor- | wich who bring in the most new mem-~ | bers. The latter part of the evening was | occupied with a musical programme in which an orchestra consisting of Nich- olas Spelman and Horace Corning | played, and songs were rendered by Arthur Campbell, Carl Lyons, Charles Guderheim and Lawrence Hyde, who were all brought back for encores. Refreshmenis were served by the attentive and active committee during the evening and Secretary Joseph R. Portelance of Court Sachem made an- nouncement of the dance that was to be conducted by the degree team of the court, VAGOINATION ONLY SAFEGUARD AGAINST SMALLPOX Generally Recommended by Secretary Townsend of State Board of Health. “The continued presence of emall- sox in the state” says Dr. Joseph H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, in_the monthly bulletin is- sued by ihe board Monday, “makes it fn mecessary to call attention to the importance of a more general vac- efnation against smallpox. During the past fall the disease has prevailed ex- temsfyely in the eastern part of the | etats, the extreme mildness of the cases §id not come under the care of a physician, contributing to its spread. “he experience of a thronghout the civilized world has proved the absolute protection against smallpox afforded by successful vac- @mation with reliable lymph, and re- peated with sufficient frequency. The | protection secured by a single vacei- nation is not perpetual in all persons. Therefore a re-vaccination should be | had after a few years, especially i the disease is mvlle«nht. All men of experience are agreed that no quaran- time, however rigid and well carried out, will alwars prevent the spread of smallpox. There are always mild, un- recognized cases, which never see a physician and which go on spreading disease after the severe cases are quarantined. How easy the diseass may be contracted is shown by an incident in New London Tecently, where a homeless woman with two children suffering from smallpox, spent the night in a railroad station, expos- ing many travelers to infection. Quar- antine has not stamped out scarlet fe- ver or diphtheria and it will not stamm | out smalipax. The expense to a com- munity of maintaining a strict quar- antinme is emormous, otection afforded cressful vaccination is so cer- 5 . quarantine is so ineffectual and expensive, that in some states the quarantining ¢f smallpox has been dis- continned and he burden of proutect- ing himself put on the Individual and not upon the pnblic. Houses are pla- carded snd the public warned to get vaccinated. In this way the money expended for isolation hospitals, spe- cial guards, special fees, and so forth, is saved for a_much better public use. accinetion and vaccination alone wili prevent smallpox.” November Death Rate High. Reports received by the board show thet there were 1273 eaths altogether in the state during the month of No- vember. This was thirty-six more than in November of last year, and 51 more then the average number of deaths during November for the five years preceding. The death rate was 13.0 for the large towns, for the small towns 125 and for the whole state 13.1. The deatbs reported from infectious disesses were 160, being 125 per cent of the total mertaility. Legacy for Masonic Home. By the death of Mrs. Edward F. Mor- ris, which occorred at her home at i Point, Sunday, legacies of $>08 each are reieased to the Masonic home at Wallingford, Union lodge, F. | and A, M., of Stamford, and the build- ing frmd of Umnion lodge.

Price One HARRIS hundred years | | CONNECTICUT LEGHORNS IN THE LEAD. Birds From Home State First in Egg- laying at Storrs. The hens in the egg laying contest at Storrs increased last week’s pro- duction by 121 eggs making a total of { 962 for the sixth week. This is a rel- | atively lower egg yield than in the sponding week last year. It is, however, encouraging to not that there has been a persistent gain from the very start. In the first contest many of the birds were immature on arrival {and this fact seemed to hold down the | produetion. In the second competition this feature was very largely overcome and in the present contest the pendu- lum has in some cases swung the other | way. That is to say, the hens had probably been laying too long before | they went to Storrs. Accordingly the change in environment, change in houses, change in rations, attendants, etc, caused these birds to stop la: ing and threw many of them into moult. At this time nearly 75 pullets | are shedding their feathers instead of shelling out eggs. In each of two pens seven of the ten layers are moulting {and in a number of pemns there are three, four, five and six birds growing new feathers. One of the problems of { the contestant is to have his pullets | produced at exactly the right time, | neither too early nor too late. One writer has compared the contestant | with the florist who grows his car- nations so that they will bloom not a week too early nor a week behind, but just at the time the market requires them. Likewise the poultry breeder | nust grow his pullets so that they will blossom” at the psychological mo- | ment. Francis F. Lincoln, Carmel, | Conn., Cecil Guernsey, East Cobleskill, | N. Y. Jules F. Francais, West Hamp- | ton, 1. L, Tom Barron, Catforth, Eng- land, and Neale Brothers. Apponaug. R 1, have evidently gotten at the! correct answer to the above problem. | In the case of the first two named all | ten birds are now laying and in mef Mt case of the others nine pullets are reg- ularly producing. Tom Barron's pen | of Wyandottes did best for the week | with 48 eggs. Neale Brothers’ Wyan- dottes were second with 42 eggs and . Francis F. Lincoln’s Leghorns were | third with 41. This Leghorn-Wyan- dotte race is becomming more and more interesting each week. Two Wy andottes laid seven each last week, two Buff Rocks, five White Wyan- dottes, two Buff Wyandottes, five Rhode Island Reds, three White Le; horns, and one “Hen” each laid six eggs during the week. | Leading Layers.

If any one person should know the value of medicines it is the druggist who dispenses them and from our ex- perience we want to say if people in | | this vicinity only knew the value of | Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic (without oil) at this season of the year, we would not be able to supply the demand. This is because Vinol is a combina- tion of the two most world famed tonics, namely. the medicinal curative elements of cods’ livers without the oil, and iron for the blood. Vinol tones up the digestive organs, purifies and enriches the blood, pro- motes healthful sleep and a normal appetite. Old people, delicate children, run- down, overworked and tired women, should try a hottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you.
