GAIN WEIGHT Thinness and weaknéss are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate .than is con- tained in modern foods. bitro-phosphate, which is such a di- tible form of phosphate that it g:ds the nerves directly, and as they gain in power, the body gains I plumpness, weight and strength. . Bitro-phosphate is prescribed in- stead of inferior phosphates because it is known as a pure, organic phos- phate, carefully prepared. You can get the genuine standard bitro-phos- phate at Lee & Osgood’s or any first- class drug store. n To_remedy this, physicians recommend plain Mrs. W, B.

Association Shows Increase in Funds and in Membership. The semi-annual meeting of the Young Men's Hebrew association was held in the association rooms on Broadway Sunday evening.. The re- ports of the officers were read and approved, showing an increase in funds and membership, although the association has sent 31 mgmbers into the service. The meeting was an un- usually large one and one of great en- thusiasm. There were several talks urging great activity in all wartime work. The membership committee re- ported 22 new members.

Six Arrests for Drunkenness, There were six arrests of men for drunkenness on Saturday night. Three of ithese were men from Franklin, Providence and Philadelphi: Y. M. €. A. Sends 1,600 Men. The National War Work Council of the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion has sent to France in less than a year over sixteen hundred men to gerve the American and allied armies. The country has been searched to find experienced men of the right type to serve with the troops as physical directors, speakers, educational difec- tors, and other men of special train- ing, as, for instance, motion picture operators. The operation of the army post exchanges, which the govern- ment has put into the hands of the Y, M. C. A, calls for a great force of executives and workers. Among a group of men who sailed recently for service overseas was Roy T. Crosby, formerly physical director of the Y. M. C. A. in this city. Mr, Crosby was graduated from Holyoke, Mass., high school, 1895, and served seven years as an association physical director. There isn't much love in a sensible love letter. FOR WHEATLESS MEALS— says Hill Presents His Annual e “The blue blooded, cold blooded New Englanders who boast of the Mayflow- er ancestor, who are sitting down on the job in this great struggle and are not doing their bit, are worse than Huns,” said Dr. Thomas Travis in an address at Dayis theatre, Sunday eve- ning, when the local Young Men's Christian Association held its anniver- sary service. - Dr. Trayis is a Red Triangle work- er and has been right up among the first line trenches on the Flanders front. He only recently returned to this country and will return to thg boys over there in a short time. Don’t send the boys away with a sigh that would ‘give a person pneu- monia 500 yards away.. Don’t talk to them as if you never expected to see them again. They'll come back. Stati- stics show that 80 per cent will come back without a scratch, 10 per cent will be slightly wounded and the re- maining ten per cent will either be killed on hopelessly crippled. Those who die will die the.finest death that I know of. They will die in the great- est cause in the world. If I knew that when I go back over thereswith the boys I would be killed I would rather die that death than to live sixty years in sagety knowing I was a slacker. We can only die once got to die sometime. Everyone believes this- except the Christain Scientists. And believe me, I should like to see some firm believer in Christian sciente organize a division of Scientists and go over the top and come through with- out losing a man. When a six inch shell hits you it's semething that Christain science can't repair. In describing a battle at Messines Ridge, Dr. Travis told of hearing after an explosion the cries of the Germans but the men never stopped to bother with them. This may seem funny for a clergyman to say but if any red blooded man could see the atrocities that have been committed they would not try to help the German beasts. The thing that I want to press home is that these atrocities are done official ly. The officers of the Huns have ordered "them. The Hun may claim that we have committeed atrocities, maybe we have. but they have not been under official orders. Girls have not been violated through orders from the officers, as the Germans have done. But the agrocities on the western front are nothing compared to those on the eastern front where the Turks under orders from Germany have committed unspeakable crimes. We can make no diplomatic peace th this beast; this war- must fought to a finish. There must be no signing of an agreement. One side or the other must die, let it be Germany. In closing Dr. Travis said, I am honestly ashamed to be here tonight when I think of those boys over there. I feel my place is with them and every red blooded American should feel the same. All of you must do your part and keep doing it until we have con- quered the German beast. There was a storm of applause at the close of Dr. Travis’ talk and in responding he said, I am ashamed to take this applause but I will do so on one condition and pass it along to the boys over there, that condition is that all of' you here tonight make a that counts in this war. Show Battle Front Views. Dr. Travis illustrated his talk with 1 stereoptican slides showing the vil- llages in Flanders that have been wrecked by German shells and are now lying in ruins. The pictures included much of the section of the country that is at present the scene of battle. There were many other interesting slides dealing with the ¢tonditions across the sea. President James L. Case presided at the meeting and in a brief address spoke of the work of the Y. M. C. A. and of the success of the campaign for funds for the new building. He also paid a high.tribute to the late Amos A. Browning who was a former pre: dent and director of the associati Music was furnished by Swahn’s or- chestra. Secretary Hill's Annual Report. General Secretary Edwin Hill made the following report of the year's acti- vities in the Association: Once again we are called upon to review the work of the association, and once again we have abundant cause to thank God for his interest in and co-operation with us as endeavored to fulfill the obli resting upon us as those vho are banded together for the sole purpose of maintaining the high ideals set for us by Him, who is the only one in all history who measured up to the full to_the requirements of a perfect life. We would not presume to state that we have accomplished all that we set out to do af the opening of the year Just closed, for at best we are bt hu- man, but to the praise of the kind Fa- ther we believe we can say that not a few lives have been blessed through the instrumentality of the association during the days of the past twelve months. Eventful Year. The year has been an eventful one in the history of the local institution, and it has been crowded full of activ- ity and real service, In the opening month of the year an active campaign for the new build- ing was carried out, though for several months preceedinz a great deal of preliminary work was done, which was really the secret of the success of the campaign, just as the foundation of a building is the secret of a permanent structure. During the campaign in May, the sacrificial work of the work- ers on the different teams was simply magnificent, and no praise could be too high for these noble men. Some day, and we hope not too far distant, the entire community will rise up to call these workers blessed, for the effort put forth to build and strengthen the manhood of the city is an effort ap- proved of God, and appreciated by men. How often during recent months we have wished that the new building was a reality, as scores upon scores of our noble men of the army and navy have flocked to our head- quarters that they might be served by their brothers in civil Tife, verily, we have done what we could, but in our present quarters it has simply been impossible to render as large and com- plete a service as our hearts would prompt us to do, for these, our repre- sentatives in warfare deserve and have a right to expéct us to render to them as nearly a perfect service as possible; we know that this is the last oppor- tunity we will have to serve them be- fore they go across. many of them y to their death. IngNovember last, the local associa- tion¥ied the campaign for the Red Triangle work in this district, and again the loyal people responded by ®iving their service and money lav- ishly, and it was no wonder that we “went over the top” for when the pen- ple are once convinced of the worthi- ness of a cause, the wecessary sacri- fice is coming. . The regular work of the assoclation Back From the West Front, Dr. Thomas Travis Declares We Must Fight Until the Atrocious Hun Is Beaten—Speaks at Y. M. C. A Anniven‘a.ry Service—General Secretary and we have all} new resolve and start dofng something | Report. has been carried on much the same as in former years, and with a good de- gree of success. Physical Work. The work of developing the body has received due attention in the gym- nasium classes, and all classes, includ- ing small boys, employed boys, young men, and business and: professional men have enjoyed the real benefits that come from regular, systematic exercises usder the leadership of a capable instructor. Our physical di- rector was called into war work the first of February and scon sailed for rance where he is helping the sol- diers to keep physically fit for the great strain awaiting them. We were fertunate in securing the services of one of our faithful gymnasium mem- bers, Mr. John Swahn, who has had long experiencetin physical work. He has filled the gap splendidly, and the management is gratified with the worj he has done. - The social work of the association has played an important part in the success ‘of the year, and we .are real- ibzing more and more that the easiest approach to the life of the young man is through his social instinct. The re- ceptions and entertainments during tiie year were of a high order, and large numbers ayailed themselves of these occasions. The various games in the lobby have “contributed to the pleasure of many men and boys during the year: and have enabled them to pass the time in a clean, wholesome way. The educational committee has with faithfulness performed its duties. The reading matter provided has given pleasure and profit to a very large rnumber of men#and boys, The direct religous work of the as- sociation has by no means been neg- lected. The Sunday meetings for men have been continued with regularity and profit; the open air services in the summer were a real means o€ grace to a goodly number; the meet- ings on alternate Sundays at the local il, during the winter proved a help- ful innovation to many who had lost their grip on life and made them feel that, even if thev were law breakers, someone cared enough to endeavor to help them. The Bible study group of young men entered into the study and discussion of spiritual themes in a way to help them in their personal lives, and to fit them to fight the good fight of faith successfully. Work For Boys. The work in the interests of the boys of Norwich has paid large divi- dends in the line of good impressions made on the pliable minds. Not only have the juniors been developed along physical, social and spiritual lines, but they have also learned the secret of service for others, and while this has been indicated in other ways, the most conspicuous example is shown in the |slafement that sixty-two Norwich boys pledged to earn and give to the Red Triangle war work $10 each, and already fifty of them have paid their pledge in full. Sailors and Soldiers. Last December, the sailors and sol- diers began to visit the association in mall numbers, and we sooh found hat a new and important service de- Imanded our -attention, and plans were Iqmck]y made to minister to the needs of these noble fellows; as the weeks passed, the numbers coming to the building increased, and we found our- called Red Triangle work right in the home association. . Realizing that these young men, away from home, free to do to quite n extent just as they pleased, were ubject to many temptations that do not come to the young man so strong- !y when he is surrounded by the biessing of home ties. We have pro- vided for them in our building cots and beds for a small cost. and at times well nigh a hundred have slept under our roof on a single night. They have eely used the games and shower baths; we have furnished the war work paper and envelopes in abund- ance, and many hundreds of letters have bLeen written home from our building. The latest service in their behalf is the serving of a home cook- ed breakfast on Sunday mornings, and this is very greatlv appreciated by the boys, who, while they get good food at . their base, enjoy meals that re- mind them of those mother served be- fore they left home to enter the ser- vice of their country. The only regret we have is that we cannot do more for these young men who are entitled to our best service. Several of our citi- zens and various societies in amd about the city have materially assist- ed in making this work possible and for their practical co-operation we are indeed grateful. The association™was called to motrn the loss, of Amos A. Browning who passed away in August 1917. No asso- ciation ever lost a stronger helper and friend than was this Godly , man. Through the long years of his service, committeeman, director and presi- dent he was absoMtely true to every trust, and his counsel was at ail times the wisest and best. Mr. Browning ‘has left for the young men cf the city a goodly heritage, and his splendid mple is worthy of imitation. Women’s Auxiliary Work. This report would not be complete without mention of the splendid work rendered by our Woman's Auxiliary. This body of loyal women have re- sponded gladly to every call, and but for their assistance our work would be handicapped. Their kindly minis- trations at the various social occasiong have tended to make those to whom they ministered feel very much at home and have doubtless brightened many a life. Serving luncheons dur- ing the campaigns was a genuine task, but it was splendidly performed by the women of the auxiliary and churches. I want to express publicly my zrate- ful appreciation to the officers, direc- tors and committeemen, my fellow workers on' the employed force, and others who have. by their eonstant co- operation, contributed much to the success of the work the past year. The ministers of the city have been uniformly kind and helpful and to them we- express our thanks. The daily papers have rendered an invaluable service to the association, and the help they gave during the building and war work campaigns cannot be meas- ured by words. Grateful for God’s favor‘upon the work during the year now closed, we gaze out into the future with hopeand courage, and with a faith in the Al- mighty that will not down. we move forward to the tasks awaiting us. ex- pecting to meet problems and difficul- ties, but realizing that all the pro lems can be solved anfl all the di culties can be surmounted by the power which is vouchsafed to those who are faithful to their trust.

Arrested for Selling “Dope”—Made Getaway on Sunday Afternoon. George H. Monty of this city was arrested on Saturday night about 8.30 o'clock in an alleyway in the center of the city by a navy provost patrol on the charge of selling “dope” to sail- ors and was Jocked up at the police station over night in default of the $2,500 bonds that were called for. Sunday afternoon some time between 2 and 3.30 o’clock Monty escaped from the room where he was locked up and made a clean getaway from the build- ing. He was seen on Broadway and in Mohegan park a little later by peo- ple who gid not know that the police were looking for him, but up to an early hour this (Monday) morning he had not been recaptured. Capt, ‘D. J. Twomey, in citizen’s clothes,.left the police station with a federal officer and a squad of over a dozen special assistants in two auto- mobiles about 11 o'clock on Sunday night in a search for the fugitive, without making known their destina- tion, though they went towards Taft- ville. Up tp 2.30 this (Monday) morn- ing it was reported at police head- quarters that nothing had been heard from the party. Qv Monty threatened that he would commit suicide after his arrest and claimed he wouid never be put to trial The implements for administering “dope” and a quantity of that artitle were found on him and he apparently regarded his case as hopeless. - He was given special consideration 11 i : ffimeiu&ors.
