My Dear Mr. Jones: Your letter with request for coples of our eall to the Eastern Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce meeting to be-held in Norwich the 25th, came duly at hand and we are mailing you, under séparate cov- er a sufficient number of coples of this call to cover the membership in the State Chamber of Commerce. Supplementing what has been said in' the call concerning store door de- liveries, from my personal tion and study of the subject coupled with the information received from various secretaries of Chambers of Commerce from tities as far west as Ann Arbor, Michigan, and as far south as Wash- ingten, D. C, where such service is now in practical operatlon, I have drawn the following conclusions can- cerning the subject of store door des liveries and centralization of the same as it applies to less than carload lots: There is nothing that has appealed to me more as an economic measure than that of a co-operative delivery system such as Is now in practical op- eration in several citles in the United States. Particularly at this time is this question uppermost because of the saving of man-=power and the ex- pediting of the delivery of freight when all transportation lines are so congested. \ There are many reasons why co-operation in deliveries is con- sidered practical. First, it overcomes the delays incident to hte system now in operation: it has a tendency to clear freight houses; it relleves from the mind of the business man the care of deliveries and up-keep of such sere vice; it allows him to concentrate his entire time and energy upon the one subject upon which he is specializing, namely, the selling of merchandise: it places in the hands of exnerts all delivery problems and under *he care- ful supervision of a, practical mants- er it will readily be seen just how such a_service will prove of value to the ordinary retailer. 1 belleve that nine-tenths of all the merchants of Norwich, when such a system is prop- erly presented to themwould immedi- ately endorse the same, doing away with the antiquated system now in force and rendering such support at their command by the purchasing. of a sufficient amount of stock o proper- Iy represent them in the new company, should such an organizatlon be form- ed. I believe the time is ripe. I be- lieve the merchants would gladly wel- come the opportunitv of disposing of their teams and with such funds as might be gained from' such a source reinvest in the stock of a corporation proverly managed to handle the whole matter. Trusting that I have somewhat made myself understood and _given you broadly an outline of what the ser- vice means in the way of assisting railroad and steamboat transportation, 1 remain Very truly vours, SECRETARY.

William Gilman Thompson Gave Address on Home Econom! The first day of the Food Exhibit which {s being held in the Buckingham Memorial the last three days of this week proved successful. The housewives of Norwich have the opportunity to see all of the sub- stitutes of meats, wheat and other f00A ~ necessities. = The object of the exhibit i3 #o show to the public what substitutes can be used instead of the regular necessities which people of the Tnited States have hefore consid- ered impossible to get,along without. Eyes all over the country have been opened to the idea that many of the extravagant food stuffs can be thrown aside for substitutes which are bet- ter and more nutritious than what has formerly been used. The rooms are decorated with all of the posters sent out by the state food conservation committee and con- tain much educational value in the .| mottoes that are contained thereon. Amonk the most important sayings hanging on the wall is the one giving what President Wilson has to say in regard to the gemeral public of the country cn the food question. It reads as follows: “This is the time for America corréet her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expenditure as a public duty, as 4 dic- tate of patriotism which no ome can now expect even to be excused or for- given for ienoring” The exhibits are many and varied showing the different substitutes for staple commodies. Powers Brothers and the Broadway Fish Market have Joaned to the chair- man the exhibit fish which {5 the standard substitute for meats, the bakeries of the city have I¥aned to tl exhibit the famous war bread and the size should be made during the pres- ent conservation davs. Armour and, Swift companies are showyng fatty substitutes while the FPorteous & to D. J. Hinchev has a most clever ex- hibit of wheat products. . Dr. William Gilman Thompson, a nephew of Mrs. George W. Lane and William C. Gilman, met those interest- ed in home economics and gave a pop- ular talk which was illustrated by a . | display_of a whole army war ration in the Chamber of Commerce rooms on .| Thursdav afternoon. He also brought | other exhibits and about 30, charts il- lustrating various phases of the food problem.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood Co. and all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other rmedies costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in_a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: ‘I have made a most careful investigation of the for- mula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. 1 find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism, and al- together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed.”—Dr. .M. C. Lyons. This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
