NORWICH BULLETIN, THORSDAY, MAY 27, 1915 ; Thin Folks Get Fat On Three Meals A Day fSpecialist Explains Why Food Does Not ( Always Produce Flesh and How Thin People Oan Incremse Weight. Most people who_are thin and under normal weight eat heartily, but get no increase in fesh. while piump. chunky Itollu of ess normal weight eat than they do and keep stout all the time. ‘The underweight ones finally decide Nature intsnded them to thin, that the amount or nature of thelr food has jnothing to do with flesh- ng and !that nothing.can meke them fat. But {this is not so. A stout, strong, robust body can come falone from food nourishment. Food is the source of all fat, and if you are thin and underweight it is merely a certain “indication” that only a small portion of the flesh-making nourish- ment in your meals is reaching your fbkmd and tissues. The ~ assimilative functions of your stomach snd intes- i £ the food toine larger part o e food value leaving {your body as waste. > 1" To correct such a condition, to gain iflesh, Increase weight and get 100 per ;cent. value from your fi . a single Sargol tablet taken at each meal will work wonders, Sargol is a scientific {combination of six splendid assimila- Itive agents. 1t promptly stops the leak- g0 of fats and whils aiding digestio also separates every last particle of the i fats, olls, sugars and starches of your !food from the waste matter and pre- Ipares the former into rich, ripe, flesh- |producing nourishment which the blood readily _absorbs and \distributes jthroughout the body. Welght increase usually begins within a very few days after Sargol is used with meals. In my opinion two ordinary hearty meals eat- ‘en with Sargol is equal in flesh-making value to six ordinary hearty meéals eaten without it. Try it, you people who are thin, run down and under- welght, and see if I'm not right. You can buy Sargol from Lee & Os- go0d or practically any druggist her abouts and every package contains a positive guarantee of weight increase or money back. While also valuable as a treatment for nervous indigestion, it should not be used by people who do not wish to increase weight. tines are not working nmrnarliy s LAWN MOWERS Townsend Lawn Mowers are the la- bor saving kind.

Securing an increased water sup- ply at the Norwich Stateihospital and the opening of the state farm for in- ebriates, for both of which appropri- atioMs were made by the legislature, were the two principal matters dis- cussed &t a special meeting of the trustees held at the hospital on Wed- nesday at noon. The trustees present were Costello Lippitt, H. H. Gallup, Dr. James J. Donohue and \Dr. C, E. Stark, all of this city; Edwin C, Pinney of Stafford Springs, Dr. C. A. Jenkins of Willi- mantic, James A. Doughty of Torring- ton, Eugene H. Burr of Middletown, and L. Lester Watrous of New Lon- don. Judge Nelson J. Ayling, attor- ney for the hospital, and Civil Engi- neer C. E. Chandler were also pres- ent and at 1.30 the visitors had lunch- eon at the home of the superintendent, Dr. H. M, Pollock. . . It was decided to go ahead with in- creasing the water supply on the lines proposed, which is through raising the reservoir dam, which will give a water supply of 30,600,000 gallons instead of the 5,000,000 gallons now impounded at full pond. It is anticipated that the increase will provide for all pres- ent needs and also for some time for the future. The development of the state farm for inebriates will be undertaken by using the two buildings now on the property, one of which is the main house and the other a shed 60x20. The shed will be raised to a two storye building in which the first floor will be used for kitchen, dining room and serving room. The second floor will be for dormitories, providing ac- commodation for 24 inmates. The basement of the main house will be occupied by the wash room, toilets and baths, the main floor will be for store rooms, locker room, day room and rooms for employes, and the sec- ond floor will provide dormitory ac- commodation for 24 more inmates. It is proposed to devote a ward in the hospital for the reception of in- ebriate cases which are committed to the farm. In the ward they will be given the early treatment for alco- holics, and will then be transferred to the farm to serve out the balance of the term for which they are commit- ted. On the farm they will be em- ployed at light labor, The appropriations which were granted by the Jegislature made a to- tal of $170,764 and will provide for an increased water supply, $20,000; re- newal of porches of wards B, $12,000; renewal of hot water supply and return mains, $5,014; two new ward buildings, $130,000; . furnishings for amusement hall, $1,950;' extension of sewer “and water meains, $1,800; total, $170,764. The whole sum that was asked for was | $227,264, exclusive of the $5,000 for converting the Gallup farm into a state farm for inebriates. The amount which was cut from what was asked for was $56,500, which included: Shacks for tubercular patients, $16,000; cottage for married employes, $19,500; quarters for employes, providing cot- 'tage for contagious diseases, $9,000; cottage for assistant superintendent, $6,000;, hydrotherapeuatic equipment, $6,000. As it was known that extra large appropriations in meny different lines was being asked from the legislature, it was very pleasing to Superintendent Pollock and the trustees that Senator John H. Barnes and Representatives A. J. Bailey and Joseph H. Henderson were able to impress the appropriations committee so strongly with the neces- sity of providing for the state’s insane that a comparatively large part of what was asked for was granted. The fact that the committee saw the neces- sity of the new ward buildings was particularly pleasing. There are al- ready constructed at the hospital wards A, B. C, D, B, F, and now ‘the new wards appropriated for are wards G. INCENDIARY BURNS OLD LYME STORE. Babcock Place at Silltown Was Set on Fire Wednesday Morning. Babcock's store, formerly the Smith store, in Silltown, Old Lyme, was des- troyed by fire early Wednesday morn- ing. The building was a combined dwelling and general store and was owned and occupied by Willis C. S. Babcock, his son, Herman conducting the store. The fire started in the wood “shed on the north side of the building and was discovered by Hiram Babcock, who slept over the store~and ‘was awakened by the smoke and.blaze about 3.15. The fire was then under such headway that he was unable to get down the stairs and had to escape through the window on the south side. A call was immediately sent to the telephone exchange, and the night operator gave the alarm throughout the town. A largs num- ber were scon on the scene of the fire which was about a mile and a quarter distant from the village, but the fire was then beyond control and all efforts were made to save the contents and the dwalling house directly in front owned by the estate of J. H. Bradbury_and Co., and occupled by Richard Daniels and family. The buckei brigade succeeded in savirg the Bradbury house and most of the household goods of Mr, Bab- cock. ‘The contents of the store were nearly a total loss, the desk, cash register and the cookie rack and con- tents were practically all that were sayed. The fire was of incendiary origin, two unsuccessful attempts having been made within the past few weeks to burn .one of the other nearby Bradbury tenements, the fires have been discovered by the occupants be- fore gaining much headway, Mr. Babcock's loss was partially covered by insurance. 8SUIT FOR BROKEN BONES AND OTHER INJURIES. Brought by New London Barber— Wants $3,000 Damages. In a suit returnable before the Sep- tember term of the superior court, Anthony Garufy, barber of 77 Bank street, New London, has brought, asks damages of $3,000 from Frank and Salvatore Scialabba, of the firm of Ceialahba Brothers. Papaers were served Wednesday morning by Deputy Sheriff Mannel J. Martin, Garufy claims that he fell on the sldewalk in front of the defendants’ store, 640 Bank street, one day last fall when the sidewalk was being fixed and suffered broken bones and other severe injuries, some of perman- ent character.

Geer has notified the republican town committee that he cannot accept the nomination on_ the ticket for alderman, the committee has filled this vacancy by placing George H. Loring on the ticket.

Major Gen. Wood Announces Camps Are to Be Established. Major Gen. Leonard Wood, com- manding the Department of the East, who spoke in Norwich at the Yale alumni banquet, announced Tuesday that student camps would be estab- lished this summer throughout the territory embraced in this department and probably elsewhere, in accordance with plans approved some time ago by the war department. At these camps students of various educationa] institutions will be afford- ed an opportunity to study military life, in practice, under the guidance of United States army officers. It was explained at the office of Major Gen. Wood that the difficulties as to the establishment of camps that had come up because of the disap- proval by the controlled of the treas- ury of the accounts, amounting to $5,000 expended last year, had been obviated. To Take Annapolis Examination, Charles Lewis Richards, of No. 269 Broadway, principal, has received word to report at Annapolis Naval Acad- emy on June 8th for his physical ex- amination. Harold Slattery of this city, who is also -a principal, has been directed to take his physical ex- amination at Annapolis. Both have already passed their mental examinations and success in their physical examinations will qual- ify them for entrance to Annapolis as naval cadets. - DINNER IN HONOR OF MISS SUSAN HUNTINGTON Given in New Haven for President of Girls’ Institute in Spain. In honor of Miss Susan Huntington of Norwich, president of the Interna- tional Institute for Girls at Madrid, Spain, a dinner was given at the Ho- tel Taft, New Haven, Wednesday eve- ning by Mrs. Charles Mitchell, of New Britain, a member of the board of di- rectors of the International Institute league. About thirty were present at the dinner, including Lewis Morse, of Boston, president of the league, and Miss Cornelia Warren and Miss Mabel Haywood, also of Boston, members of the board of directors. Miss Huntington is in this country for a short time, traveling in the in- terests of the institite. Today (Thurs- day) she will speak at The Gateway, Miss Alice Reynolds’ school, on the work being done for girls at Madrid. BEFORE JITNEY OR TROLLEY. Shank's Mare Then Served Between Norwich and Jewett City—Rem- iniscences by David Hale Fanning. The days when there was neither trolley, train nor jitney between here and Jewett City are recalled in an in- teresting reference made recently by David Hale Fanning, president of the Royal Worcester Corset company, and revered for his philanthropy by a number of eastern Connecticut towns, who spent some of his boyhood years in Norwich and retains affectionate in- terest in this city. Making reference to his brother in California, active in his 90th year, he write brother learned his trade in Norwich, only a short way from The Bulletin build- ing, on the opposite side of the street. He learned the carriage-maker’s trade from a man named John Q. Cox. This man had a son by the same name— possibly he may be living yet. The latter came up to Jewett City with my brother one Saturday night, to stay over Sunday. They walked from Nor- wich to Jewett City. The following day, Sunday, something displeased the Cox boy and he took offense, went suddenly out of the house, late in the afternoon and started on foot for Nor- wich, DEGREE OF HONOR. 100 Delegates Were at Annual Con- vention in New London.

Held In Pawcatuck Congregational Church—Jeremiah Church Given Medal Award, Among those present at the institute of the W. C. T. U. of New London county held Wednesday at the First Congregational church at Pawcatuck, were Miss Harriet G, Cross, president of the Norwich union and Mrs. Mrs. J. J. Filelds. The institute consist- ed of morning and afternoon ses- sion wijth Mrs. H. Addie Randall of Groton, county president, in the chair. The morning session opened at 10.30 o’clock with thew singing of ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus, and the devotional service was conducted by Mrs. L. K. Fuller, editor of the White Ribbon Banner. Mrs. Fuller took as her topic, Personal consecra- tion and read Romans 12 as the scrip- ture selection. Mrs. Randall expressed her pleas- ure at being presgnt in appropriate words and the committees were then appointed. Mrs, Ruth Nash was ap- pointed press committee for the local newspapers in Pawcatuck and Mrs. J. J. Fields was appointed on the creden- tial committee. Miss Mary Day, county secretary re- orted on the meeting held last fall. r. McDonald, yastor of the church welcomed the institution in behalf of the church and Mrs. Frazier, president of the Pawcatuck union welcomed the institute in behalf of her umion, Is Taxation Lowered. The first paper, réad by Mrs. F. L. Ha]l of Pawcatuck dealt with the sub- Jeet, Does License Money Lower Taxa- tion? In her paper Mrs, Hall said: ‘We find upon a faithful examination that the license money received is less than 5 per cent. of the total revenue in_the ten states examined. In view of this fact it does not seem to need argument to convince the most doubtful that from a purely financial viewpoint the liquor traffic is a death- ly drain upor the public money. When we realize that for every dollar of state or municipal revenue it takes not less than §40 from the people and the loss of this paltry dollar would hardly be noticed in the increase of taxation when we realize the conser- vation of efficiency in the 100,000 tax- payers that go down to a drunkard’s grave every year. It has been impossible to ascertain exact figures concerning the actual income from license and expenditurc of public money to take care of pro- ducts of the saloon as the census enu- merators have not separated the licuor license money from other business li- censes revenus. The pajer was open for discussion. Mrs. Newbury of Mystic then raed a concise and interesting paper on the subject Are License Laws Constitu- tional? In her paper Mrs. Newhury said she did not think they were con- stitutional because license is given tc ruin and to destroy. Mrs. C. B, Buell, state president, was then introduced and she made a few very appropriate remarks, Financial Status. A paper on The Financial Status of Prohibition States as Compared with Neighboring States was then read by Miss Mary Day. Miss Day said Miss Day's Paper. Mrs. Lillian Mitchner, president of the Kansas W. C. T, U. says: “In 1880 when prohibition was adopted, and prior thereto, Kansas was exceedingly poor. During the 30 years of prohi- bition it has become one of the rich- est states per capita, in the union. Missouri has better natural advantage: than Kansas, more mineral deposits and forests, richer soil, more rainfalls, nearer market facilities and its pop- ulation is nearly twice as large. “The saloon people say the prohibi- tion law has hurt business,” says Mr Blue “but on Market street in Wheel- ing people are getting more money out of the stores than they did when the saloons were in the same rooms.” He also tells of children who for the first time in the mining regions are wearing shoes_ Similar testimony is given by aut F. Breed, secretary of the / Stu- same state. Only three months these laws, since this law went into effect. “The change is so marked a bl man could see it. Out from the princi towns, ‘the land of muddy road: building here, there, vonder, pave: roads into the country Imost every mile has been built since the state went dry. City streets are being paved, parks are being laid out, street car lines are being extended, and new buildings are going up everywhere. North Carolina, in_Gaston coun had 26 distilleries and now boasts 47 textile plants empioying more than 7,000 people. Philadelphia, 75 suicides, 50 murders, 75 deaths, supposed to b due to_liver troubles, are traceable to stimulants. It costs the taxpayers of Philadel- phia $3,205,569 annually. Woman Suffrage. At 12 o'clock, observed by all W. C. T. U. members as an hour of prayer, Mrs. Buell offered prayer and the singing of Holy Spirit Faithtul Guide, followed. Mrs. Anna C. S. Fenner of New London spoke very forcibly on the good accmplished by woman suf- zh frage. Mrs. Fenner said that althoug woman suffrage had not been v widely favored by the United States, nevertheless in 1916 91 electors will b chosen with the help of woman voters. Mrs. Fenner said that when the antis quote the vote in suffrage states it should be remembered that women voters are by no means in the major- ity. In Wyoming 3-5 of the voters are men and in Colorado there are 60,000 more men than women. The women could never succeed without{ the help of good men and the men and women must cooperate in this work. In Connecticut the protection of loh- sters and clams seems more important than the protection of human livas, said Mrs. Fenner. When the antis cry out not to give women the vote be- cause lewd women would be in the majority, Mrs. Fenner said she wou'd quote Idaho, where no lewd women or men are allowed franchi Mrs. Fen- ner said that nothing fills the brever with so much terror as the franchise- ment of women. In Colorado the first time the women voted 265 towns went dry and now they have over 800 drv towns. The meeting then adjourned for luncheon, served by the lozal unicn. A number went provided with basket lunches. Campaign by Posters. ‘The afternoon session was opened with the singing of More Love to Thee. Miss Harriet G. Cross, presi- dent of the Norwich union, then spoke very interestingly on the poster cami- paign. She had some large posters on exhibit. She told of the poster cam- paign originating in France. It is used extensively in Massachusetts at the present time, Mrs. Fenner spoke of the way the campaign is carried on in New London. She said that in Boston posters are left on the boards for four months and that if it takes four months for the posters to penetrate the minds of the Bostonians, the Pposters ought to be left on Connecticut billboards for four years. A discussion of the subject followed and Mrs. Fenner and Miss Cross were appointed a committee to. work up the poster campaign in this county. A parliamentary drill followed and the roll was then called. The roll call showed in all over 50 W. C. T. U. work- ers present. rs. Buell spoke in behalf of Mrs. L. Luce of Niantic, county evangel- istic superintendent, who was unable to attend. The meeting sent back greet- ings through Mrs. Buell. Mrs. Fuller spoke in behalf of the The Plainest Girl Can Be Good-Looking There is economy in good looks. It pays every gir] to be good-looking and every woman owes it to herself to _be as attractive as posible. It is unfortunate that all women are not born beautiful, but nearly aill can acquire good looks. The plain girl not only must use care in the selection of her clothes, but give especial attention to her hair—thin, wispy, dull and faded locks will des- ;roy half the beauty of even a pretty ace. If your hair is not beautiful, lack- ing that enviable softness, lustre and fluffiness, or is falling out, full of dan- druff, too dry, by all means Use Parisian Sage, an inexpensive lquid tonic. easily obtained at any drug counter or from Lee and Osgood. Simply rub_.Parislan Sage well into the scalp. It will go right to the hair roots, nourish them, and stimulate the hair to grow strong and luxuri- ant. R removes all dandruff, thor- oughly cleanses the hair of dust and excess oil, and makes it appear twice as_abundant. Parisian Sage is a scientific tonic that gives the hair just what is need- ed to make it fiuffy, soft and glori- ously radiant; and pretty hair will surely increase the charm and beauty of even the plainest girl. ‘White Ribbon Banner ané also urged the members to take the national paper in order to keep posted on the work. Mrs. Alice Palmer, Miss Edith Cran- dall and Mrs. F. L. Hall were heard in a vocal trio, Victory Bells. The col- lection was taken up and was followed by a very forceful address on Prohibi- tion by Rev. Mr. McDonald. There have been great issues in times past, said the speaker. Today we have one even greater than the issue of 1861. As long as there remains a saloon, Rev. Mr. McDonald said he would fight against the liquor traffic. I stand for absolute prohibition, he said. In 1916 the party which plants a prohibition plank in its platform will be the one who conquers. The saloon cannot be regulated, he said, any more than a boa _constrictor can be regulated. Among the speakers who followed were Mrs. Nichols. evangelistic superintend- ent of Rhode Island, and Mrs. Babcock of Rhode Island. Mrs. Babcock is a sister of the Connecticut state secre- tary, Mrs. Mary Gallup. Mrs. Buell quoted some of the doings of the late legislature. She said that although prohibition lost in this last legislature, the members of the W. .C. T. U. should not be discouraged, for they will win in tifie. A solo, The Angel's Serenade, was finely rendered by Mrs. L. K. Burdick. Medal Contest. In the medal contest the entrants were as follows: Satan’'s Want Adv, Elsie Dennis; Wanted, a Boy, Jere- miah Church; Two Offerings, Renice Smith; His First Cigar, Russell Gav- itt; Papa Does, Margaret Gavitt. Jere- miah Church was awarded the medal and Russell Gavitt was given honor- able mention. A plano duet was excellently render- ed by Miss Margaret Gavitt and Miss Phoebe Hall. While the judges were considering the award in the medal contest, Mrs. E. A, Cutler, county medal contest su- perintendent, told of the work done in this department. A vote of thanks was extended to all who in any way contributed to the success of the institute, and the session closed with the W. C. T. U. benedic- tion. b Mystic has asked for the convention next fall.
