RECRUIT UNDER WEIGHT QUICKLY GIVEN HEAVIER Youth Who Wanted to be a Soldier Found a Way to Come Up to the Standard. The filling up of the ranks of Com- pany L is going en slowly. One new recruit was taken in Wednesday, bringing the total up to 20 that have enlisted since the call was issued on Sunday. Captain H. E. F. Tiesing has received orders to recruit the company up to one hundred which means an addition of about 40 more men. It is hoped that these may be procured voluntarily, but théy must be had if a draft has to be resorted to. Captain Tiesing hopes=that some of the young men from the surrounding towns, including Putnam and Nor- wich, will become enough interested In the work to stir them to enmlisting in the local company. 'With the way recruits are coming in at present, it is thought that ali of those of this city that are to volunteer have done so and the remaining number will have to come from the outside. In order that the equipment and .the new uniforms ordered soon after the company hma been . caMed out would arrive here as soon as possible, a motor truck was sent from here to Hartford Wednesday morning to bring back the articles. The truck left this city at 11.30 in the morning and re- turned with the goods at 3.30 in the afternoon, stopping _some - time in Hartfora while the men loaded the BADCOLD? TAKE “CASCARETS” FOR BOWELS TONIGHT THEY’RE FINE! LIVEN . YOUR LIVER AND BOWELS AND CLEAR YOUR HEAD. NO HEADACHE, SOUR STOMACH, BAD COLD OR CONSIPATION BY MORNING. Get a 10-cent box. Colds—whether in the head or any part of the body-—are quickly over- come by urging the liver to action and keeping the bowels free of _poison. Take Cascarets to-night and you will wake up with a clear head and your told will be gone. Cascarets work while you sleep; they cleanse and reg- alate the stomach, remove the sour, ed food and foul gases; take ess Dbile from the liver and the constipated waste matter n from thg bowels. it aber the quickest way to get +id of colds is one or two Cascarets tt night to cleanse the system. Get a 0-cent box at any drug store. Don't orget the children. They relish this Candy Cathartic and it is often all that is needed to drive a cold from their little systems. DR. F. C.

Onme of the amusing incidents that has occurred sinece the company was called out_was that of a recruit who had been ted because of being under weight but reappeared in -a short time prepared to take the exam- ination a second time and pass it. On being examined the first time the man was one pound and a half short of the required weight and was of course rejected by Lieutenant Keating, who was carrying on the examinations. The second_ time the recruit appeared he stepped onto the secales and he was one-half pound over weight. When asked to explain his feat he stated that he went out and drank all the water he-could stand which amounted to nearly one gallon. It is believed this was the first time this Stunt has been done in this City aithough it is Deing done other 'places where the applicants are under weight. It will be very necessary to Te- cruit Company L up to the prescribed one hundred before anything dcfinite can be done. 5 Milk Producers Confer. William F. Spokefield - of _Seuth Windham was in Providence Wednes- day and attended a meeting of a com- mittee of the milk producers ahd a committee of the mikk companies of that place. . The milk producers of this part of the state are kicking over the price they have been receiving for their products, stating that some of the producers at Providence have been receiving 60 and~70 cents for thei: milk while the men up this way have received much less. The milk pro- ducers held a meeting recently and agreed to hold out until they received 65 cents Tor the milk and unless the Providence companies give this price, the chances are that no milk will be sent in that direction by the produc- ers of these parts. ONE DAY A WEEK FOR DRILL AT STORRS Storrs colleze has gone in for pre- paredness on a large scale. . At-a re- cent meeting of the faculty it was de- cided to have one day a week for military drill alone. The men sfart- ing out as soon as they have eaten in the morning and not returning until evening. The men will be under the care of Captain Charles Amory who has been at the state college for the past three years. In_ this work they will be given some of the duties and problems that they will have to face in time of war and these will have to be worked out by the men. The noon- day meal will be cooked~by the men, giving them a taste of real campaign life. Besides this drill of one day a week, two hours two other days a week will be given over to military drill. The hours will be from 3 to o'clock in the afterncon and the day: for these three drills will vary.

JEWETT CITY * Residents of Glasgo Marooned by Mud —Death of Former Res'dent— Library Course Nets About $10¢. It is rumored that the residen.s of Glasgo are talking of establist.ng a steamboat serv.ce on Pachaug 1cser- voir, if they are to be able to leave the place at all. The road from the Four Corners to Dayon's is in a ter- rible condition. A baker from Jewett City attempted to go through w his team Wednesday and the hor: and team nearly disappeared from sigut— and that is no exaggeration. It was one hour and a half before they were axtricated. The condition of th: roads X is nearly as bad towards Bethe!. one teamster having his harness broacn to pieces in the struggle to wallow through the mud. Two famil'es in Glasgo have been waiting to move to other . places, where positions are awaiting them, but are mudbound. This is the #fondition of the roads in that section every spring. One party from Jewett City who went to Glasgo in an automol just this time of the year, three years ago, are not likely tu for get the mud-curdling experience. Country roads zre in a bad condiiion everywhere, but it is a more serious condition when a whole town is ma- rooned, ORITUARY. Mrs. Agnes S. Phillibotte A Manchester, N.
