It by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of a day's work, it is worth while to know the kind of food that will pro- duce this result. A school teacher out in Kans. says in_this connection: “At the time I commenced the use of Grape-Nuts my health was so poor that I thought I would have to give up my work altogether. I was rapid- ly losing in weight, had little appetite was nervous and sleepless, and experi- enced. almost constantly, a feeling of exhaustion. “I tried various remedies without g00d results; then I determined to give particular attention to my food, and have learned something of the properties of Grape-Nuts for rebuild- ing’ body, brain, and nerves. “Since using Grape Nuts I haveo mads a constant and rapla improvement in health, in spite of the fact that all this time I have been engaged in strenuous and exciting work. “I have gained twelve pounds in weight .and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and I sieep sound. I have such strength and reserve force that I feel almost as strong and fresh at the close of a day's work as at the beginning. “Before using Grape-Nuts 1 was troubled much*with weak eyes but as my vitality increased the eyes be- came stronger. N “I never heard of another food as nutritious and economical as Grape- Nuts” “There's a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. - Ever read the above letter?

Abell, formerly of Nor- wich, writes from Berlin to The Bul- letin as follows: A In these turbulent times, the readers of The Builetin and The Courler, inciude many of my i Wwill no doubt be interested in receiv- ‘Ing direct news from Berlin, the ob- Jective town of the allies, from a for- Eradoate and perhaps In jearios the gradoate, and perhaps in opinion of an American on this terrible war, who by personal observation is thoroughly familiar with European conditions. For 25 years—since 1890— I have lived and traveled in Europe, spending the greater part of the time in Germany. During all these years I have been a constant reader of The Norwich Courfer (which is af course The Bulletin in condensea rorm) in or- der to keep in touch with my former home, for Norwich and my Alma Mater are very dear to my heart. In the issue of The Courler of June 22d I read with great interest Poultney Bigelow’s speech, Education in Berlin and Norwich, deilvered at the meeting of the Alumni assoclation at Slater hall. While I heartily ascribe to ev- ‘erything that Mr. Bigelow saye about the Norwich Free Academy, 1 most emphatically take exception to his re- marks on Germany in general and Prussia in particular. Let us take & few of Mr. Bigelow's statements point by point and look at them in the light of facts. Hospitals in Germany. Mr. Bigelow says: “In our country it is the people who organize and con- duct hospitals, libraries and build mon- uments and such other public works, but in Prussia, it you ask what the people have done they look at you in amazement.” First of all, in Germany the care of the sick is not left to pri- vate charity, as it is in England, and largely also in America, but it is in the hands of the government, i. e, it is organized and efficient in a high de- gree. Indirectly these wonderfully equipped hospitals are the work of the people, for not only does the public at large support them through taxation but they grant the appropriations through their representatives in the reichstag. Public Libraries. As to libraries, everv American on visiting Germany has been amazed at the large number of libraries and their magnificent equipment. Towns even of 3,000 inhabitants have got libraries for the people, not to mention the mag- nificent school libraries all over the country. Every village, no matter how small, has its school library, to which all of the inhabitants have free access. Is a government to be con- demned for founding such institutions? And, surely, the great public patronage shows how they are appreciated. Other Educational Factors, ow as to other educational institu. tions. Why is Germany the only coun’ try in the world where illiteracy is un- known? 'Compulsory education is the greatest blessing that has ever been conferred on a country. What a con- trast is found in Russia, wiere 79 per cent. of the population cannot read or write! Or in France and Belgium. with their 30 per cent. of illiteracy. And even in England there are 17 per cent. Why have the German universi- ties been so largely attended for years by Americans, English, Russians, Ar- menians, Serbians and Japanese? Be- cause all of these great institutions of learning are under government control and that in this country is synonimous with the highest degree of efficiency. Why did Mr. Bigelow not mention other education factors like the thea- tres, opera houses, the great Symphony orchestras and the conservatories of music? Does the fact that they are the state or the municipal gov- ernment in any way lessen their ef- fectiveness? Andrew D. White, our former ambassador to Berlin, in his larticles on Germany, which appeared in the Century magazine a few years ago, expressed views on this subject diametrically opposed to those of Mr. Bigelow. Among other things he pointed out that the German stage was far above that of any other country on the globe, and that it was an edu- cational force of.the greatest impor- tance, and that Americans could learn a great lesson from it. My first four years in Germany were epent in Wei- mar, a city of 30,000 inhabitants, or about the size of Norwich. There I for the first time saw produced all of the great dramas of Shakespeare, as well as those of Goethe, Schiller, and all of. the world’s leading dramatists. Would that our government, state and muni- cipal, make such conditions possible, for they are not possible through pri- vate enterprise. What the People Are Doing. “If you ask what the people have done.” says Mr. Bigelow, “they look at you in amazement.” This is a positive untruth. _Let me quote one instance: Here in Berlin is an association known as.the “New Free Stage for the Peo- ple’’ This is one of the most remark- able educatiofal movements of the world. Here the lower middle classes and even the working classes have solely of their own initiative without any government or municipal support whatever, buflt one of the finest thea- tres in Berlin, costing four and a half million marks (over one million dol- lars). and here are given nightly per- formances of the world's best dramas, also concerts and operas. Every night 2,200 people, who fill the auditorium, are recrnited entirely from the lower and middle classes. The actors and singers engaged are the best that Ber- lin affords, and the performances are in every way first class. The prices of admission are very low, ranging from 15 cents to 50 cents. There are also many private schools of learning in Germany, but the stand- ard of the government schools is so high that it is difficult for the private schools to compete. In making an as- certion like the above, Mr. Bigelow has simply demonstrated” that he is mot well informed. Facts alone have value. Germany Versus England as a Col- onizer. 5 I have never met anyome familiar with the German and English colonial conditions who could subscribe to what Mr. Bigelow says on this subject. On the contrary, I have always heard that Kiautchou was a model colony. I have just read a brochure entitied England’ yalty in India, published in English by the Indian national party, in which the deep-set hatred of the natives for the British oppression is forcibly ex- pressed. I will quote a few short sen- tences from this interesting pamphlet: “The English rule in India, founded by lrucm, forgery. perjury, and kept by bte force, has always been despised.” “This nationalistic movement in In- dia, that is_comparatively unknown to the outward world, is hallowed by the sufferings of its_martyrs and by its work has opened a new. chapter of the history of India” < ‘The voice of the people declares that India is determined to be free of the tyrannical British rule. It d clares that it is getting ready to meet British brute force with brute force.” “That Indis Fas slinped me-al~ from the hands of Great Britain is 'l'o::-maoh-mm -m to casual visitor this part of the Indian the reports of the trocities. How does this tally with the famous interview that the save a Parf- sian paper, in which he said that had investigated and had received re: ports from thirteen of his bishops from all parts of Belgium, .men, who es- teem truth higher than calumny and sensationalism, and who one and all declared that the reports of Belgian atrocities were wilful dnventions? Seven of our American war corre- spondents, who made thorough inves- tigations ‘in Belglum, reported _the same results. I personally have talked with our American newspaper corre- spondents, who were in Belgium at that time, and they also' declared that these reports were monstrous [{ies. Even the London papers after a time admitted that investizations among a thousand Belglan fugitives had fail. ed in bringing to light any proofs of German atrocities. The only real atro. cities co ed in this connection, were the at¥bcious lies, that went over the British cables, poisoning public opinion against Germany in America. Considering the fact that we have s0 many millions of Germans in America and that they are known to be peace- ful, honest, industrious and . even phlegmatic, it is one of the many & explicable features of this war, th Americans could believe without waii- ing for proofs that such a people could be suddenly turned into barbarians. Louvain and Shorman’s Raid. Louvain is a subject that I have never yet seen fairly discussed in any American newspaper. Mr. Bigelow speaks of the “sackers of Louvafh® and condemns, but offers no proof. In the first place Louvain never was destroyed in the sense that. Americans believe. Fully four-fifths of the town. Including the famous city hall and cathedral, are Intact. and the-destru tion of the smaller portion of the ci that actually occurred, was a moxt necessary and most merited chastise- ment in answer to the fearful franc- tircur war that the Belgian civilians carried on towards the German troovs. War is not a Sunday school picnic. It was our own Sherman, who said “War is hell!” and the so-called sack- ing of Louvaln by the Germans was | child’s play compared with the devas- tation that Sherman’s celebrated march through Georgia caused. Belgian “Neutrality.” In this, too, Germany has been most unfairly treated by the press of our castern states. Considering that there never was any Belgian neutrality, why then all this talk about Belgian nen trality? Thé German war office had ample proofs on the outbBreak of hos- tilities that France and England wonld advance against Germany _through Belgium, and it was equally clear that Beigium would participate in the war against Germany. This countfy sim- did what her enemies intended to Hence the howl of impotent rage that kept the Atlantic cables busy during August of last year. The se- cret documents found by the Gei- man authorities in Belgian war ar- chives, and which have since been fac. similied in, the press of this country. have merely confirmed what the Ger- man stac already kne: Germany's Aims. Mr. Bigelow’s further remarks on the German invasion of America and his advice to Americans “to take up arms against a_one-man-world, a new Napoleon, as small boys have to unite against the bully of the school” ace too ridiculous to require contradic- tion. I am writing this article in the in- terest of truth, justice and fair play In my next article I shall have some thing to say about conditions in Ber- lin during the war and the opinion of Americans residing here concerning the conflict. STORES OPEN AGAIN WEDNESDAY EVENINGS From This Week On After Midsummer Closing on That Night, All the city stores that closed on Wednesday evenings for the past two months, because of the summer sea- son, will return asain this week to keeping open regularly as before each ‘Wednesday evening. With the stores open tonight, Wednesday evening will once more become one of the nights in the week when the city streets pre- sent a scene of speical actiyity because of the shopping that can be done by those of the public who find the even- ing a more convenient time than the daytime. This summer closing on Wednesday evenings was carried out for the first time this year, and practically every ore in the city that could consistent- Iy do so" co-operated in the plan to make the closing plan uniform. The extra evening each week for rest and recreation was, needless to say, hearti- Iy appreciated by the employes. DIES AFTER OPERATION.

Joseph Pronne festified to taking meat to the laundry on -the day the crime is alleged to have been corg- mitted and said he saw nathing un- usual. Drs. C. B. Graves and J. M. Ganey, New Iondon physicians, testified they examined the Snitkin girl and that they could not find any signs of a re- cent abuse of the child. J. Herman Webster, Loren C. Park and Charles C. Lewey, all from Noank, testified to the good character of the accused when he lived In Noank. Wong Yok, a Chinaman, testified to being in the laundry and seeing the Snitkin girl there, the child re- maining not longer than fqur min- utes. Samuel Lynn, a rabbl, who testified through Herman J.

Tt is stated that Bronstein h mitted a_house owned by him in Ti- ley street, New London, to be occu- pied by women for disorderly pur- poses. The state policemen have been watching the houses for a week and it s claimed that they ascertained - tho purpose to which Bronstein's house has been used and Bronstein's sum- mons to the superior court followed. WEDDING, Augenblick—Greenberger. One of the prettiest of the early fall weddings in this city was solemnized at 6 o'clock Tpesday evening in the parlors of the Wauregan house, when Miss Bertha Greenberger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Greenberger, of . 4 Laurel Hill avenue, became the bride of Harry Archie Augenblick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Augenblick, of Newark, N. J. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Solomon of Newark in the presence of a large number of guests, Including friends and relatives of the couple from other cities. Miss Minnie Greenberger, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Miriam Bodenstein of New- ark, Miss Ruth Brill of Newark, Miss Jeannette Brfll, also of Newark, and Miss Jean Frances Baratz of New Lon- don. ~ Attending the bride as flower girl was Miss Rose Greenberger. The groom's best man was Leo Steiner of Newark, and the ushers were John Sudarsky of Hartford, Harry Steiner of Newark. Clarence H. Blatt of New- ark and Harry Greenes of New York. The bride was attired in a gown of silver embroidered white taffeta with Chantilly lace and pearl trimming, and wore a vell of tulle and Chantilly lace, caught up with orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses and lilies of the valley. The maid of honor wore a gown of palest green faille taffeta with lace and irridescent trimmings and carried a bouquet of American Beauty roses. The brides- maids were attired in handsome gowns —two in pale pink and two in pale green. To the music of Mendelssohn's wed- ing march rendered by Geer's orches- tra, the wedding party walked down anaisle of flowers to the Broadway end of the parlor, where the ceremony was performed. In the corners were banked, palms and ferns and about the room mdsome potted plants were most attractively placed. The celling was beautifully festooned and palms and potted plants adorned the open fireplace, the floral decorations being by Geduidig.

Celia Hoffman for her beautiful solos sung with charm- ing expression and voice, Kthryn Mi- ley for the rollicking fun she put into her solos, Mry Bouton for a particu- larly effective solo in the last act, and Harry Myers for his satisfactory work in singing and dancing were the pa: ticular favorites, while the big en- semble High Jinks tangle at the esd of the second act kept the ‘company coming back time and again. George S. Trimble and Bernard Gorcey were also well cast and Willlam Clifton and Adrian _ Bellevue filled their parts well and the stwye settings and cos- tuming made each act a pretty pic- ture.
