NN NN NN EN NN NN VOV AN OV N NN N NN NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1918 ALESMANSHIP IS A FINE ART. It throbs with earnestness, energy and enthusiasm. It is infectious, hypnotic, well-nigh irre- sistible. It is apt, therefore to mterfere with calm, deliberate judgment. It has its dangers, as well as its allure- ments, A motor car -should be selected in our saner moments. It should be bought with an eye te the far future, rather than the rosy present. hould dwell upon unwelcome pos- ies, as well as immediate pleasant prospecis, We should look at the shining, beautiful thing before us, in the light of twenty, or fifty, or a hundred thousand miles of service. / We should listen to the voice of reputa- tion rather than the engaging eloquence of the salesman. We should retire within ourselves, and inquire:— What do I know about this car; and especially, what do I know of the com- pany that builds it? And then: Is there another car of which I know more—built by a company of higher and wider repute? You should be able to recall such a car instantly—a car of which all men think well, and none speak ill. The moment your mind has gripped that thought — that there is a car which stands out above all others—then sales- manship has no power to impress you. You find yourself listening to yourself —and deaf to all else. You see a car which has come down the years with a clean escutcheon—hand in hand with honor. You say to yourself: In choosing this car I carnot make a mistake. THE A. C. SWAN CO. NORWICH NWOYOYI NEW LONDON ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT OF part in the parade there.

I cannot re- frain from some allusion to the great conflict now raging in nearly every country in Europe. “Far different from our civil war; larger armies and the modetn engines of war much superior to those of cu vet I doubt very much, quires as much bravery to fight an enemy five miles away as it did for us to face and fight our op- Ponents at close range muzzle-loading muskets and cannon. ‘What this great conflict may bring us_is yet problematical.” Referring to the soldiers’ home he ‘“Many complaints were receiv- ed from the inmates of the home dur- ing the year, the food and dormitories. plaints were called to the attention of the soldiers, hospital board, which has taken the matter made satisfactory my recent visit to the home I found everything satisfactory, and was un- able to obtain a single complaint from any of the inmates.

PRESIDENT’S DAUGHTER TELLS CONGRESS A FEW THINGS Asking Right to Use Schools For Community Forums. Washington, April 12.—Miss Marga- ret Wilson, daughter of the president, before a house committee today advo- cated a bill to permit the,use of Dis- trict_of Columbia school ' houses for community forums. The measure has aroused opposition, particularly in the local school board. “We are maintaining,” Miss Wilson sald, “that a meeting of citizens is as important as a meeting of their rep- resentatives and it should have the same machinery with which to work as_congress.” Representative Ragsdale of South Carolina asked Miss Wilson whether whites and negroes would he permit- ted to participate in the meetings She said this problem would work it- self_out. Objection to the plan on the ground that Sunday afternoon meetings are proposed brought this comment from Miss Wilson: “T do not think it is the business of congress. the board of ed- ucation, or anybody eise, to say whether we_shall meet on Sunday af- terncons. The only concern of con- gress is whether these buildings shall be used at all” GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN NEW HAVEN AFIRE. By Prompt Work Firemen Confined Blaze to the Basement.

There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. ' Catarrhal deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have & rum- bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it 4s_entirely closed deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever.
