The laying of the new pavement will be started after the widening 1s com- pleted. The first work to be accom- plished will be the blowing out of the ledge alongside the trolley tracks. The ledge will be prepared this week and fhe drilling will probably be started some time next week. There is con- siderable ledge to be removed as it runs quite close to the trolley tracks and this work will occupy some time. ‘As has been previously stated the widening of the street has made it necessary for the city to purchase several of the houses which it s fm- possible to move back and which have not enough land in front to allow for the additional width in the streot.

COUGHED NIGHT AND DAY How This 1,000 Little Orphan Boy Was Cured. We want the people of Norwich to know that all letters like the follow- ing are truthful and genuine:— Towanda, Pa "I took a-little or- phan boy to live with me and last Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was very ill and a bad ceugh set in so that he coughed night and day. After trying _overything, nothing Seemed to do him any good, until along in February I got a bottle of Vinol. After using half tho bottle his cough began to improve, and two bottles entirely cured his bronchitis and he galned In weight so that he doesn’t -look like the same child.” Harry A. Stepbenson, Towanda, Pa. The reason that cough syrups fail in such cases is because they are palla- tive only, Wwhile Vinol removes the cause being a constitutional remedy in which are combned beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese, Dep- tonates and glycerophosphates. Tt strengthens and revitalizes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disease. ‘Broadway Pharmacy, G. G. Engler, Proprietor, Norwich. Vinol is sold in ‘Willimantic by the Wilson Druz Co., in Danielson by the A. W. Williams Pharmacy, and in Putnam by J. F. Donahue. Also at the leading drug stores in all Connecticut towns. might be used for the construction of the new city barn. The widening of Thames street was voted at a special city meeting on the night of Oct. 20 at a cost not to ex- ceed” $45,000 and is to be carried out under the direction of the court of common council. It provides for a seven-foot increase in the width of the roadway from curb to curb. At present the width between curbs fs 20 feet and the new width will be 27 feet. There will also be six foot sidewalks whereas there is a six foot walk on the easterly side and a walk wverag- ing five feet on the westerly side. The widening is to be carried out on the westerly side of the street and will ex- tend from Thames square to High street. Several teams and a force of men were employed on Thames street on Thursday excavating around the ledge, as the first step towards preparing it for drilling, preparatory to blasting. A R SRS P o U R ST R S T R R GENERAL SECRETARY SENDS LETTER TO SUPERINTENDENTS. Sunday Schools Urged to Have Large Delegations at Rally. On Thursday General Secretary Ed- win Hill of the Young Men’s Christian Asosciation sent to all Sunday school superintendents in Norwich and vicini- ty letters urging them to have Farge delegations at the Sunday School ral- 1y to be held in_this city Sunday next at_Broadway Congregational church. The letter reads as follows: As you are probably already aware, there is_tasbe a large rally of all the Sunday Schools of Norwich and vicini- ty, next Sunday, December 10th, at 3.30 p. m. at the Broadway Congréga- tional church, and you are hereby urg- ed to use every possible effort to have a large delegation from your Sunday school. There will be two addresses on this nccasion, one by Robert Darling, pres- ident of the Connecticut Sunda School Association, who will speak on Co-op- eration, and the other by Dr. Milton S. Littlefield of New York a specialist on Sunday School work, who will deliver an illustrated address on The Educat- ed Sunday School. This is a very important meeting for the special benefit of the Sunday schools and we are looking forward to baving an unusually large crowd, in- deed we rather expect an overflow meeting will be necessary. Seats in the body of the church will be reserved for the delegations from Sunday schools until 8.20 p. m., so please have your people here prdmpt- Iy, and be sure to bring a large num- ber. Gallery seats are for the gener- al public. Kindly have your pastor give a no- tice from the pulpit, and tell him to state that all who are interested Sunday school work are Invited. Very sincerely, EDWIN HILL, General Secretary. WHAT STATE H, DONE FOR BELGIANS Booklet Issued Tells of Connecticut’s Part in the Relief Work. A fifteen page booklet entitled Bel- gium, Connecticut's Part, has been Issued showing what this state has done for the relief of the Belgian peo- ple. The booklet says:. Connecticut’s population s over a million. Her wealth is beyond that of most states of the Union. Her total contribution to Belgium for relief in two years has been six cents a_person. We now ask that this average be rais- ed to ten cents, to a parity with the rest of the ceuntry. We hope that it will go much higher. = Our first ap- peal was made when Connecticut’s in- dustries were on the verge of ruln and many of her people were In want. In her present prorperity, due at least in part to the war which it is ground Belgium to the dust, can the response be less? History is valuable only as a guide and measure for the future. We are asking the confidence of the good peo- ple of this state and are appealing to their generoslity. Therefore it _be- hooves us to tell what we have done, to_give an account of our stewardship Upon the first news of the occupa- tion of Belglum, a remarkable wave of practical sympathy swept the Unit- ed States, and in_an astonishingly short time concerted effort began. Per- haps the pioneer and certainly one of the most officient agencies was the New York Belgian Relief fund, organ- ized by Belgian and American’ philan- thropists in New York city. Within a few days after it-had issued its call through the newspapers, local organi- zations sprang up in several Connecti- cut citles and towns, and for the most most_part affiliated themselves with this fund. Notable among these were Willimaniie, which raised $1,000, Wa- terbury $4,000 and Hartford and vicin- ity about $14,000. It ie estimated from New York sources that about $11,000 additional was contributed from va- rious parts of Connecticut prior to the estab'ishment of these local funds. At the organization meeting plans for a compaign were formulated on a basis of conditional subscriptions. shortly afterwards, letters were sent out, under President Baldwin's signa- ture, to a limited list. The response was $19,417.11. Later in the spring, a second and more general appeal, made through printed circulars, vielded $3 517.04, thus producing a total of 32 934,15 for the two early campaign. C. R. R. headquarters had promised that one of the Relief Ships should be officially designated the “Connecticut Food Ship,” provided a substantial sum was raised here. We expected to nchieve $100,000, but secured barely balf that amount. Nevertheless the commission credited to Connecticut the “Pontoporos” which sailed from New York January 11, 1816, A third campaign culminated in a Thanksgiving and Christmas appeal which brousht in a total of $12,905.01 in cash, together with a considerable amount of f0od and clothins: The appended tables tell in detail the story of tyo years’ work.
