Lady Assistant Within Two Inches of Full Pond—City Consumption is 2,500,000 Gallons a Day. At the present time Norwich is de- riving its water supply - from both Stony Brook and Fairview reservoirs and the daily consumption is approx- imately 2,500,000 gallons Both reser- voirs are now full or nearly full, as they are within two or three inches of high water mark. Although the city mains are drawing their supply from both reservoirs it does not follow that both reservoirs are supplying the = amount of water On the contrary Stony Brook is SuUpDLYing iuos. - water as the flow from ew small.

The consumption is ann in- ceasing and at this particular of the year is somewhat larger than usu- al. This is attributed in part to the over night in order to keep the pipes This is a problem ‘which the of have to face and is private are not equipped with meters as yet. The officials contend that the householders have no right to let the water go to waste in this way, even the reservoirs are full. They should try some other method of protecting thelr pipes from freezing. STORRS GRAD IN JAP ARMY PROMOTED Inoye Wins Advancement Regiment Through Bravery. Kino in Through brief mention in a letter received by a former classmate, it has been learned that Kino Inoye, who was a member of the class of 1911 at the Connecticut Agricultural College and has since entered the Japanese army, has b promoted for bravery from second lieutenant to first lieu- tenant of the Tokio First Regiment of Infantry. In the letter, which was recently received by BEdwin Choate Eaton of Auburndale, Mass., landscape contractor and member of the Massa- chusetts Forestry Association, Inoye modestly forgets to describe the brav ery which won him his promotion. Inoye's family is one of the most prominent in Japan, some of his rela- tives being diplomats, bankers, law- yers and ship owners. When he left America he took with him a number of American frogs which he hoped to develop into a Japanese breed with edible legs such as he had tasted in this country, and he writes of his frog experiments in an interesting fash- ion. Inoye is“a gradu: e of Tokyo Uni- where he spe- He came tq in the fall of 1908 and this country entered the sophomore class where he took the dairy and horticultural courses. He was a member of the Gold Hall Club, Tennis Association, Dramatic Club and the Connecticut Alpha chapter of the Eta Lambda Sig ma fraterni /hile in the country he lectured upon Japan in New Yor Hartford and Boston. Inoye was call- ed back to the colors in April of 1911 and, returning to Japam, took with him for experimental purposes “ad- vance registered” Holstein and Jersey bulls and cows, a Morgan stallion and mare, 100 Rhode Island Red hens and thirty American frogs. Inoye grew greatly interested in frog culture, largely as the result of cultivating a taste for frogs' legs in Broadway restaurants. He writes of his_experiments as follows: “The animals are all doing finely and have reproduced themselves and have become acclimated to the Japan- ese climate, but my frogs, which I hoped to cross with the rea frogs of my country, have not done so well as three males and one female died com- ing across, but I have now about fAfty of my cross. They are lanzer than the Japanese frog, but have the American, what you call it, full tone of voice. It will be years before their legs become of note like your New York Delimonicos, but I feel confi- dent, will eat as good, bye and bye.” Inove plans to return when his term of duty expires to finish his term at Storrs and he will complete his re- search and experimental work and study for a doctotr's degree at Yale University.

RAGS AND PAPERS Should Be Saved—Government Calls Attention to Shortage of Materials The attention of the department of commerce is called by the president of a large paper manufacturing com- pany to the fact that there is a seri- ous shortage of raw material for the manufacture of paper, including rags and old papers. He urges that the de- partment should make it known that the collecting and saving of rags and old papers would greatly better exist- ing conditions for American manu- facturers. ‘Something like 15,000 tons of aif- ferent kinds of paper and paperboard are manufactured every day in the United States and a large proportion of this, after it hoe ~~rred its purpose, ruld be used over again in some class Of paper. A iain. we.. ul it, howeve: is either burned or otherwise wasted. ‘This, of course, has to be replaced by new materials. “In the early history of the paper Industry publicity was given to.the importance of saving rags,” says' a department bulletin issued today. It is of scarcely less importance now. The department of commerce is glad to bring this matter to the attention of the public in the hope that prac- tical ults may flow from it. A little attention to the saving of rags and old peapers will mean genuine re- lief to our paper industry and a di- minished drain upon our sources of supply for new materials. The de- partment of commerce will be glad to put inquirers in touch with the man- ufacturers who are_ interested.” AUTO LICENSE FOR ONE HANDED MAN. Irving Collins Told to Drive Caregully and Avoid Bad Roads. Irving Collins of Mansfield Village whose right hand has been amputated, appeared for a hearing before Secre- tary Charles D. Burnes Tuesday at the capitol to show reason why an automobile operator's license should be granted him. Collins is the owner of a Ford car, which he has rigged up so that he can operate it with his feet and steer it with his left hand. He is the owner of a poultry farm in Mansfleld Village and has an interest in a summer hotel at Waterford. Because his business cals him frequently from one place to the other, he asked for a license to operate the car. Although he was concerned in an accident last April, one month after he began to drive his car, witnesses testified that the accident d!d not amount to anything. Collins was told that he might take out another licenses but was cautioned to drive carefully and avoid bad roads. MADAME DAVENPORT AGAIN. Glib Talker, Now Claiming to Be 90, Addresses Toxas Audience. In June, 1909, Madame Charlotte Davenport came to Norwich, with her youthful husband, taking a room on Church street and remaining about five weeks. During that time she addressed a company of ladies at the Norwich club on How to Keep Young. She de clared that she was 30 and her youth ful, attractive appearance excited the wonder of her audience. She was uncomfortably sharp and nippy, however, in her replies to ques- tions from several in the assemblage and did not make a very good impres- sion. A few days afterwards she and her husband left town, declaring that they were to return to New York. Now Madame Davenport has turned up in Texas, according to the follow- ing from a Galveston paper: Madame Charlotte de Goilere Daven= port spoke in Galveston last night on How to Remain Young. She sald that in 62 years ehe had not taken so much as a plll of medicine. Madame Daven- port, although 92, stepped brisky back and forth on the rostrum in Rosenburg hall, while she told the audience of nearly 100 persons how to retain youth, With eyes brightened and lips smiling with the joy of living, the speaker injected into her talk much of the humor and wit with which she scemed to sparkle. “You may wonder at my English name and my forelgn accent,” sald Madame Davenport, “so I will explain why I married my American husband. When I was 63 years old I wanted to test my theories of physical culture and I wanted a patient whom I could keep right with me. My husband was bald and dyspeptic, and my son, who is now 74, objected to Mr. Davenport keeping company with me. I finally told him he would have to marry me or quit coming to see me; S0 We were married. The first thing T did was to uy to raise a crop of hair on my hus- band’s head. It took eleven years, but he now has beautiful hair. He is also strong and healthy and has no trace of dyspepsia.” Discussing physical culture as a means of preserving health, Madame Davenport urged moderation in eating, sufficient rest and exercise, care of the body, preservation of an unruffled mental state, and a knowledge of food values. The speaker said that she has six sons fighting in Europe now and that she is naturally worried about them, but that she always looks on the sun- ny side and keeps cheerful. If re- buffed or offended, she said, she only ignores such incidents and does not let them interfere with her digestion. WATCH THE SEMAPHORE Rev. C. H. Ricketts Draws Practical Lesson From Miiford Wreck. At the Y. M. C. A. shop meeting conducted at the Richmond Radiator company’s plant Wednesday noon Rev. Charles H. Ricketts was the speaker and among some of the things he said were the following: A short time ago the whole country and particularly New England was horrified over another wreck on the New Haven road in which nine were killed outrisht and 50 injured. Al the evidence seems to point to the negligence of the engineer of a local train to obey the proper signals. The consequence was a rear-end collision with a stalled express resulting in fa- tal and appalling disaster. This grave disaster, men, has sug- gested a train of thought I would dwell upon in our meeting today. The whole_country is shocked—as well it may be—when, without a moment's warning, a half score of our fellow beings are plunged into the Silent Land, because the proper warning had been disrcgarded. 1 wonder what would be our feelings if we could read daily the long list of those whose lives are forfelted because they passed by the Jdanger signals! Legislation has put semaphores in every work- shop where machinery dangerous but how many mutilated hands and feet are silently saying, “It is due to my carelessness in turning the danger signal down!” What all this means to the home with its father and moth- er, brothers and sisters, and espec- faily its dependent wife and children is one of the most pathetic chapters in_human life. Do you ever think, men, of the many points of resemblance between a steam engine and a human being. The locomotive engine is a mni.of boundless possibilities because it a thing of power; so0 is a human being The locomotive needs a strong, wise hand on the throttle valve, so does a human being. If the locomotive is made to do the work for which it wae built it 18 a greac blessing, but if it is allowed to run riot and disregard safeguards it will prove, to be a.great curse. Is not the same’thing trup of ATONCE! STOPS STOMACH MISERY AND INDIGESTION 'APE’S DIAPEPSIN” MAKES S8ICK, B8OUR, GASSY STOMACHS FEEL FINE., Do some foods you eat hit back— taste good, but work badly; ferment into stubborn lumps and cauee a sick, Mrs. Dylp.zuc. jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin digests everything, leaving nothing to sour and upset you. There never was anything so safely quick, so certainly effective. No difference how badly your stomach is disordered you will get happy rellef in five minutes, but what pleases you most is that it strengthens and regulates your stom- ach so you can eat your favorite foods ‘without fear. Most remedies give you relief some- es—they are slow, but not sure. “Pape’'s Diapepsin” is quick, positive and puts your stomach in a healthy gnn&lu«m #0 thé misery won't come ack. You feel different as soon as “Pape's Diapepsin” comes in contact with the stomach—distress just vanishes—your Stomach gets sweet, no gases, no beiching, no eructations of undigested ;ood, your head clears and you feecl ne. Go now, make the best Investment you ever made, by getting a fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any drug store. You realize in 5 minutes how needless it is to suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach disorder. e e oo A RS USSR B a human being? God has endowed a human being with tremendous forces of body, mind and soul, which acting In combination make man the domi- nant power. When this human en- #ine uses its splendid powers for the purposes for which it was created it is the greatest blessing on earth but when it runs riot and rushes past th danger signals it becomes the great- est curse in the world because it wrecks Its own life and many others in_some head-on collision. Let me note some concrete ‘ways in which we fail to observe the danger signal. There is the careless man who ofls up or cleans up his machine while it is in operation. There are those who thoughtlessly allow their clothes to be caught in gears, belts and shaft- ing. I have seen maimed arms and mangled Lodies from this cause. But where one person is thus injured in the workshop there are a thousand who are wrecked outside simply be- cause the semaphore with its sisnal meant notaing to them. Why will young people stand about chilled with wet feet until nature hangs up a dry, hacking coush on the human semaphore? Why do so many turn down this warning of incipient tuberculosis? If ‘the “great white plague” is neglected, the sanitarium is_only anotker name for sepulchre— nothing is surer than that ‘What is heartburn but nature say- ing: “Be more reasonable in your eat- ing for dyspepsia lurks in that dis- tance.” When a man faints it is a message on the semaphore to the en- sineer: “Slow down, your engine can't stand that rate of speed T tell you men there isn't one bodily organ that doesn’t 1ift the warning note when danger is at hand, and to rush by un- heedingly !s virtual sulcide. Nobody wants pain, but pain in Itself is per- fectly harmless. It is a sort of bell budy whose doleful ringing says: “Look out, I'm joined to a sunken reef” Pain In the body like a squeak in a machine Is a call for immedlate action. The same is true along moral lines. Yours men who pass by the old rum wrecks into the saloon are steering straight for a head-on collision. What a load of anxiety would be lifted from parents’ hearts if they were quite sure that their boys -and girls away at school were not forgetting, in their splendid strength, those little danger signals whose disrezard must always be paid for and sometimes with co: pound;interest. To force the tired eve and to lash the fagged brain to further study is always dangerous. —e SENIOR CLASS COMMITTEES. Class of 1216 Has Appointed Full List of Committees.
