Such sufferers can- not understand why they should need glasses so long as they “see so well.” Those who see best are most likely to suffer from strain—be- cause if their optical defect is 80 great that the eyes cannot overcome it, the eyes give up trying and the case one of poor sight. ‘The ordinary test by letters is useful for determining sharpness of vision, but is absurd as a test for eye-strain. Sciéntific measurement of the eyes by a skilled op-tom-e-trist ~ —a surveyor of light, if you please—and the correct adapta- tion of glasses, is the only safe, sane and logical means of re- lleving eye-strain.

Smith’s Farm at Waterford—28 Hogs and 8 Head of Cattle Have Destroyed. A A Foot and mouth disease was dis- covered on the farm of James C. Smith In Waterford Saturday. Unlike the other cases which have been found in this section of the state, the disease on the Smith farm were in a herd of hogs while all previous cases have been found in cattle. The disease was discovered by Dr. J. E, Underhill, the New London veter- Inarian. Dr. Underhill was called to the Smith farm Saturday morning to treat a sick cow after which he was asked to examine a hog that had shown symptoms of being ill after a careful examination the veterinarian diagnosed the case as the foot and mouth disease. Dr. Underhill immediately notified Jeffry O. Phelps, commissioner of do- mestic animals in Hartford, who in turn communicated with federal offi- cers who were at work in the vicinity of Norwich. Two federal inspectors immediately hurried to Waterford where they confirmed the report of Dr. Underhill, arriving there in mid- afternoon, and orderec the farm quar- antined. Mr. Smith owned 28 hogs and eight heads of cattle. They were appraised Monday and all will be destroyed Tuesday. The disease was discovered Saturday while Federal Inspector Goff, Health Officer J. T. Black and Inspec- tor B. N. Pennell of the New London department were inspecting the milk farms in this vicinity, The infection to the Smith herd is traced, it is understood, to offal fed them of cattle that was claughtered in New London several days ago by instructions from the government in- spectors to Health Officer Black.

Thayer has filed his semi-annual report, as of April 1st, in the matter of the Thames Loan and Trust company. The amount realized by the receiver by conversion of assets into cash since the last report is $73,966.10, and the present cash on hand is shown as fol- lows: In banking house, Norwich, $17.63; Carnegie Trust company, New York, $1,674.73; Thames National bank, Nerwich, $69,000.64; Merchants’ Na- tional bank, Norwich, $10,307.70; Uncas National bank, Norwich, $68,761.23, which is a total of $139,762.08, against which there are the dividend checks amounting to $2,650.81. The total assets on hand Oct. 1 1914, was $277,333.80, from which there has been realized from then to April 1, 1915, the sum of $78,966.10, less $8,- 601.55 in expenses, and the present as- sets on hand are $267,215,12, a decrease of $10,118.68 in the period. The assets consist of the following: Demand and time loans, $47,787.46; overdrafts, $27.34; stocks and bonds, $2,975; real estate, $18,300; banking house, $75,000; furniture and fixtures, $1.160; two name notes, $10,010.54; mortgage loans, $800; time collateral notes, $4688.71; demand collateral notes, $8,314.33; railroad bonds, $21,- 060; bank ‘stock, $6,825; real estate, $4,600. So far as the same do not appear in my preceding reports, concludes Re- celver Thayer, the charge made for service in the receivership is $5,320; no part of same has been paid; no ar- rangements have been made for final security or payment of the same, and no mode of payment of the same has been adopted. The total expenses of ordinary ad- ministration during the receivership have been $8,180.05, and real estate expenses have been $1,893.29, Adaditional claims proved against the savings department by depositors have been: Antonina Los, Wilmington, Del., $229,93; Biase Sallese, New London, $700.14; William H. Haskell, Deer Isl- and, Me, $305; Geqrge E. Stevens, Norwich, $26.85; James E. Sullivan, New London. $50, making a total of $1,311.92. It is shown that out of the first div- idend of 50 per cent. to savings depart- ment depositors, amounting to $233,- 244.63, all has been collected by the depositors except $358.66 in checks out- stynding. Of the second dividend of 10 per cent, amounting to $58,431.26, there are outstanding checks of $427.59. On the 25 per cent. dividend paid to commercial ~ department _depositors, amounting to $62,705.10, there is. $1,- 864.56 in outstanding checks, and the amount as basis for the next dividend is $250,782.20. “The Stranger,” In Franklin, Followinrg the Home Missionary meeting at the parsonage the Franklin Congregational church Thursday aft- ernoon there is to be a public stereop- ticon lecture on The Stranger, at the church at three o’clock which will take the place of the regular pro- gramme. Been Appraised—Are to be first establisheqd about two weeks ago, Dr, Black discovered a herd of cattle which was being driven from Preston to New London and he immediately ordered them impounded in a fleld near Montville. According to Health Officer Black Inspector B. N. Pennell of the New London department, who is a veteri- narian, reported the discovery of two suspicious cases. The health officer immediately refused to let them come into New London and reported the matter to the state authorities, who directed that the cattle be allowed to come to New London to be butchered. Health Officer Black refused to permit this until they had been examined by a federal inspector. Two of the gov- ernment officials arrived in New Lon- don the next morning, one coming from Boston and the other from New Haven. They inspected the cattle and pronounced them O. K. At this time Clark’s herd in Preston from which the cattle had come had not been inspected. The health offi- cer, however, took the advice of the federal inspectors to have them brought to New London and slaugh- tered immediately. Although the mat- ter-is out of his line, the local health department being inferested in cattle only in so far as the milk supply is concerned, Health Officer Black was not satisfied and after the cattle had been slaughtered at a abattoir, he ordered that the place be thorough- ly fumigated and the hides disinfect- ed and made arrangements that the offal be buried. - Instead of burying the entrails, however, and following out his orders, the discovery of the disease reveals the fact, it is claimed, that the offal was taken to the Smith farm and fed to the hogs. NEW YORK SYMPHONY AND MISS JAMIESON. Audience Warmly Enthusiastic in Praise of Concert Numbers at Slat- er Hall. Slater hall was again filled to its utmost capacity on Monday evening, people from surrounding towns help- ing to swell the large company of Norwich citizens gathered in antici- pation of the concert given by the New York Symphony orchestra. Most of them had delightful recollections of the former concert by the orchestra under Walter Damrosch’s conductor- ship, a few seasons past and were ap- preciative of another opportunity for a rare musical treat. This return en- gagement was, if anything, even more brilliant than the first, for besides the enthusiasm created by Mr. Damrosch’s splendid leadership of his fifty or- chestral pieces there was the added charm of Miss Margaret Jamieson's part as soloist. Miss Jamieson, who is a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Mitchell and thus known to many Norwich friends who were glad to give her public greeting, not only added to her musi- cal reputation among these, but won for herself new admirers among all those who heard her for the first time. She certainly is a talented young lady and her fine technique and beautiful singing tones, as well as her pleasing personality, were noted with enthusiasm. The first part of the program was given entirely by the orchestra, Web- er’s Oberon Overture taking the au- dience to fairy land for the sylvan revels by a master hand. Four move- ments of Hadyn's Symphony in G “‘Militaire” followed, giving the only military touch of the evening and the style so characteristic of this com- poser, especially in the two last move- ments. The prelude to “Lohengrin by ‘Wagner was a fine piece of execution of this beautiful composition. Miss Jamieson appeared as piano soloist in the Concerto in G minor by Saint-Lacens for piano and orchestra and her brilliant work throughout the three parts of this long _composi- tlon was generously applauded. A huge bouquet of pink roses greet- ed her at one of her encore appear- ances. The other beautiful selection by the orchestra were Mendelssohn's Alequet- to from string quartette and Beet- hoven's Polnaise and the orchestra ap- propriately expressed the mood of every one present iu the closing num- bers—the joyous Scheszo, Op., 45 by Goldmark. $14,500 APPROPRIATION FOR THAMES RIVER.

Yer- rington had charge of the refresh- ments. Supernumerary Michael J. Dwyer took the tickets at the door. AT DAVIS THEATRE. Vaudeville and Photoplays. For the matinee attraction at the Davis theatre on Monday, the Thomas Musical Comedy company presented a programme that had the good sized audience shgwering them with ap- plause throughout. It was a winning offering of new features by the twelve people in the company, which was the same that made such_ a hit in a previ- ous appearance at the Davis. There were tuneful song numbers, clever dancing and roaring comedy in which Tom Thomas was the moving spirit and kept things humming at all stages. On the motion picture bill were the Mutual War Weekly and one of the popular Keystone comedies. There was no evening performance of the vaude- ville, as the drama On Trial was the evening attraction, but the vaudeville and photoplays will flll their usual matinee and evening hours for the rest of the week. HOMES FOR WORKINGMEN IN LATIN AMERICA. Number Will Reach 10,000 At Buenos Aires In Next Five Years. Ten thousand homes for working people are to be built in Buenos Aires with the next five years, according to 2 new item in the Bulletin of the Pan American Union, Washington, D. C. At first such an announcentent would not seem to be of very much interest to the people in the United States, but when a contractor from Buenos Aires recently appeared in New Orleans, La., and let it be generally known that he was there for the purpose of buy- ing about 20,000,000 feet of yellow pine and some 15,000,000 feet of cy- press lumber, the producers of these commodities in the state of Louisiana and neighboring sections of the Gulf coast at once became alive to the sit- uation and inquired for particulars. They found that the Argentine Gov- ernment had evolved a scheme for the betterment of the living conditions of the laboring classes in the larger ci- ties of the country by placing the pos- sibility of owning their homes within their reach. To accomplish this the Government has entered into a con- tract with a large New York company fer the erection of 10,000 two-story houses in an outlying district of the Argentine capital, Each house is to have not less than 5 rooms, a kitchen, a- bathroom, sewer connections, etc., must front on a street or public pass- age, and must be within 4 squares of a street-car line or a railway sta- station. These houses are to be sold, prefer- ably to Argentine citizens in the em- ploy of the Government, on an install- ment plan whereby the purchaser ob- ligates himself to pay $23.66 per month until the mortgages loan of $2,580 has been repaid with interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. Houses not taken up by employees of the government are to be sold to oth- er applicants. Similar projects are under way in Santa Fe and other provinces of :Argentina, the houses in most cases being smaller and less ex- pensive, thus reducing the amount of the installments and enabling work- men with incomes of less than $100 per month to become purchasers. The feature which makes the plan feasible is the fact that the Govern- ment is to issue a series of what are known as “internal” bonds, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent, which it lends to the construction companies, thereby enabling them to finance these large projects. Much of the imported building material is also to_be admitted free of duty. ‘While the Buenos Aires project is perhaps the largest launched so far, the idea of governmental aid in bufld- ing of homes for working men is not So very new in Latin American coun- tries. In 1910 the Cuban Congress passed a law authorizing the execu- tive department ta construct 2,000 small cottages, each to be assigned by lot to native-born or naturalized Cu- ban heads of families, of good con- duct} having no personal resources other than the resuits of théir labors, and whose names are properly regis- tered. The houses were to be built of brick and tiles, at least 18 feet high, and to contain a living room, dini, ToOm, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, bath an tollet, the lots to be at least 19 1-2 by 65 feet. Workmen placed in posses- sion of these houses pay $2.65 within the first 10 days of each month, which amount is appiled to the interest and amortization, payment of water ser- vice, and expenses of administration. Wren .the possessor has repaid the amount of the actual cost of construc- tion and the other obligations the state gives him a deed to the property. The houses are exempt from the pay- ment of building fees, official charges, and of all taxes during the ten years in which the purchaser agrees to pay for the property. Under the provi- sions of this law, up to January 1, 1914, 950 houses had been constructed in Habana, 45 in Pinar del Rio and | 58 in various places in the province of Banta Clara. Plans similar to these have been in operation for some years in Chile, Brazil, and Colombia, and are being projected in Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Pery, and other Latin Amer- TP orteous & [V ichell fho.

As in the case of the Buenos Alres project, much of the lumber needed may be purchased in the United States, and thus the de- velopment of these plans may mean much to the foreign trade of the country. Handles Grow Crooked. The Japanese are expert in the pa- tient work needed in gardening, and it is from the Japanese farmers on the Pacific Coast that most of the wood is sent for use as umbrella handles. ‘Twicted handles were formerly bent laboriously by steaming the wood to make it flexible, but the Japanese force the pretzels and other twists in tke growing plant which by a system of pruning is forced to nourish the distorted twigs, the whole process taking three years before they are ready for thé manufacturer to strip and polish or to use bark and all. From the Consular Reports. New York, Tampa, Philadelphia, De- troit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Itimore and Cincinnati are the chief American citles in the cigar making industry. The new Welland canal will prob- ably be opened for iraffic in 1918. Hongkong is to make moving pic- ture films for the Chinese trade. Litohfield—Efforts are being made to raise funds to finance the proposed trolley line between Torrington and Litchfield and Bantam lake, under the charter of the Litchfield County com- pany. It is estimated that $300,000 will be needed, half of which will probably be raised by a bond issue. HAVE DARK HAIR AND LOOK YOUNG Don’t stay grayl Nobedy ocan tell when you darken gray, faded hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur, Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear- ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Wyeth’'s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so natur- ally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; § | atter another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks slossy, soft and abundant. Some Forms of Rheumatism Curable Rheumatism ls a disease character- ized by pains in the joints and in the musclés. The most common forms are acute and chronic tism, rheu- matic headaches, sciatic rheumatism and lumbago, All of these types can be helped absolutely by applying some good liniment that penhetrates. An ap- plication of S8loan's Liniment two or three times & day to the affected part will give instant relief.
