Thinness and weakness are' usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there s nothing that will supply this defi- ney so well as the organic phosphate Known among druggists as bitro-phos- phate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all drug- gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in tire appearance, the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This increase in weight also carries with it a zeneral improvement in the realth. Nervausness, sleeplessness ahd lack of energy. which nearly always accompany _ excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eves become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom "f{rer{c\‘l health. & TION: — Although _bitro-phos- is unsurpassed for relleving Sness, :Ye(lnle ssness and general oul owing to its properties, oo does ot desire POQUETANUCK RALLY.

Cary presided was called to order at 7.15. After a few brief words of welcome by President Cary the report of Secretary Branche for the past six months was read and approved. In his report Secretary Branche summarized the events and accomplishments of the first half of the yvear and the work of the various committees and bureaus of the cham ber. In speaking of the most promi- nent _activities of the chamber Mr. PBranche said: In addition to the many campaigns for raisinz fnnds for war purposes, such as the Liberty loan, the Red ar savings, Y. M. C.

When citizens get together the founda tion stones of permanent progress have been laid. The chamber of com- merce bears the same relution to in- dividual: action as the regiment of trained soldiers does to the mob. But the . regiment must be supported and the members must each do his impor- tant part of the work. In closing I desire to state a creed as' it applies to the business men of Norwich and the application of which would do much to benefit the com- munity and all whe adopt it: ‘T will work unselfishly for the com- munity welfare, believing that such work ' is. immortal, and if I engage In concerns prummd $25 each, but that only?:xffi ‘bank had comsented to contribute, the others saying that they were not allowed to enter any such agreement. In un.rd to the matter of trying to regain those members who had drifted away from . the association, it was voted that a circular goodwill letter be sent ‘to each one and that each member of the chamber see one or two of the others ang try to get them to get in line again. The committee that has been in- vestigating the matter of straighten- ening the highway at Gales TFerry stated that the proposed change was out of the question but that another project was being investigated. Mr. Van -Wagener brought up the question of better fire protection and urged each member to pull for this end. A rismg vote of thangs was given Mr. Stillman for the use of the phono- graph and to the ladies who served the supper. The meetinz adjourned at 9 o'clock. A valued booklet dedcriptive of Nor- wich was distributed at the meeting. CAMPBELL’S MILLS Closing Exercises of Wylie School— Progressive Teacher and Patriotic Pupils Help Uncle Sam. Wylie school closed Friday, June 7, when the following program was pre- sented: Flag salute; song, Star Span- organizers 'to ‘allow them to put over a campaign for membership: in Nor- wich, ‘which “would resuit’ in a ‘large proportion of our funds going to the organizers. We have always replied: “Send us‘your literature, ‘but don't put your experts on our payroll” The literature is eniightening:- The results accomplished elsewhere are ac- claimed as wonderful. Annual reports of many’ cities have been sent to us. Dues range from $25 to ’$250. - Secre- taries are'paid double what ours'is. Officers are ‘men ‘of -leisure, ' men of wealth, men of influence, men of na- tional reputation such as Joseph :'W. Folk, counsel of the interstate com- merce commission, “who “left ‘his im- portant federal office to act as attor- ney for the:St. Louis - Chamber ‘of ‘ommerce. But nowhere in any liter- ature or letters or reports:can I find any chamber of commerce anywhere giving the community it serves 80 much for its-money as has the-Norwich Chamber of Commerce, and few evén with an income of five and ten times ours have accomplished as much. Com- pare our income from dues this year of 8c for each inhabitant of the city with Meriden lc; Attleboro, Mass., 63c, ?haca, N Y 762, and Bel:hlehem By, 1.15. Lockport, N. Y. has been -held up to us as a city where there is a typi- cal chamber of commerce.. The prin- cipal accomplishhments in 1917 were as follows: Aided three local industries in’ex- tension of their plants by financial as- sistance, railroad sidings and neces- ary land. tax the city as a whole for purposes and not by districts. Recommended protection of irees, better garbage disposal ublic comfort station. Secured freight interchange by rail- roads, new freight and troliey stations and canal terminals. . Investigated electric light and ‘power rates. -Secured better mail service. school shade and approaches to the city. Established a merchants’ bureau.

ONLY MEDIGINE MADE FROMFRUIT Extraordinary Success which “Fruit-a-fives” Has Achieved One reason why ‘Fruit-a-tives” is so extraordinarily successful in giving relief to those suffering with Constipation, Torpid. Liver, Indiges- tion, Chronic Headaches, Neuralgia, Kidney and Bladder Troubles, Rheumatism, Pain in the" Back, ZLczema and other Skin Affections, is, because it is the only medicine in the world made from fruit juices.

He said that while the bureau had accomplish- ed a number of things, he considered that the best thing that they had done and should have credit for was th: re-establishing of the transportation line betweed Norwich and New York. The report of the merchants’ bureau was presented by Will L. Stearns and was most gratifying. He spoke of the good results of the last Dollar day held and stated that in all probability another one would be held in August. President Cary Speaks. President Cary in a few brief re- marks compared the NorwichChamber {fl( Commerce with other chambers in | the count Mr. Cary said: Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce were formerly groups of men, fond of argument who met semi- | oceasionaily to. di s civic matters, ifor the purpose of public enlighten- ment and their own enjoyment. The dues were nominal. the various com- tees were dermant and beyond oc- sional factory grabbing and improv ment of transportation and mail facil lues. the record of achievement was found in the voluminous correspond- ence of a volunteer secretary. The modern Chamber of Commerce planned to get results. To do so must have a good office system. a definite program of work and an ade- quate income. When the Chamber of Commerce of Norwich, Conn., Inc. rose from the ashes of the two older organizations and dues were fized at $6.00 it was evident that the incomie would provide for limited service to the community. .When, however, the 1 Board of Directors held their meeting for organizaiion they decided that Nor- g of and should have a modern Chamber of Commerce. They knew perfectly well and were so informed by the Treasurer at the sec- ond meeting held in 1917 that a mod- ern Chamber of Commerce could not be run on $6.00 dues and without ac- tive, earnest work of a,large propor- tion of the membership. The there- fore provided for Associate Member- ships at $25.00 a year and expressed the-belief that when the orgarization gave the public and the members the ervice that was rendered by other modern Chambers of Commerce there would be enough members apply fox the $25.000 membership to provide the necessary income for continuing along these lines. Tonight we have reached this point lm our history. And having approach- er it with the feeling that we could | reduce our activities, if additional in- jcome was not forthcoming, we find every avenue of retreat cut off. The State Council of Defense “has taken over our organization and is using it as the local, dominant force for its own activities. The Home Gardens movement was inaugurated by our members and we are the ' clearing house for this wonderful agency. The United States Treasury officials have taken our secretary and a stenographer for arganizing and making effective the Thrift Stamp Campaign in Nor- which and adjacent towns. The Manu- facturers’ Bureau and the Retail Mer- chants’ Bureau have organized under our auspices to work out the problems that have come upon us since our participation in . the world war sich as boat transportation. ‘“Return Loads” which compel us to develop motor- truck transportation under instructions from Washington, freight embargoes, coal shortage, heatless Mondays, poor i tion. In addition to this there are who pay anywhere from $100 to $625 a year to the support of’'the organiza- tion. Lockport is not much more than half the size of Norwich. ' The: total income of the Lockport orginaztion 1s $14,625. This financial support is ac- compamed by a correspondmg _moral support, too. This is a record to be proud of. You have heard .the record of ‘our organ- ization. Are you proud of it? Lock- port had an income of 69cfor each inhabitant and Norwich is trying to beat Lockport on an income of Sc from aech inhabitant. Does ‘it" mean anything to you that we re-established the beat line to New York in three weeks after it was aban- doned and on a recent trip it took $50,- 000 worth of manufactured product 1o New York and brought back $100,000 worth of raw material for another fac- tory? Since the U-boat attacks on the Atlantic coast no manufactured prod- ucts can be ghipped by rail tn New York without a government: permit. Does it mean anything .to you that in 0 days after- develonm" a plan fo procuring a' state road to the navy yard the contractors were on the job? Does it mean anything to you that in two days after requeet was made to have freight embargo-lifted our action secured the ' desired result? The amount you are willing to pay as dues will show the measure of your appre- ciation. One of the difficalt and neeemrv tasks before a chamber of commerce is the education of the public. - Jts first duty is to make the public think. Every day brings to us fresh evidence that there is need for work along' this line in Norwich, You saw it in the recent city meeting. - The . discussion of road improvement developed: the fact that quite a few citizens believed that good roads were being pushed by the automobilists. or ‘the residents in the different -sections through’ which the roads passed. The fact was lost sight of that these roads were connect- ing links .in a -great’ national motor- truck highway, over which raw mate- rials and finished -goods -must be moved -when railroad - transportation breaks down, that the annual cost of repairs would build pérmanent: roads in a few years, and eventually reduce taxes; that the West-Thames street 1mprovemem ‘was -urged upon us .by the state of Connecticut. In.the case of increased Salaries -for.the firemen and the policemen it.was in the minds of many that justice was. merely. being done to the men., To how many did it occur that no greatéer benefit can come to any ‘community than by raising the plane of living?. The man who has more money to spend increases .the business of the community.,. As. the community recognizes the value and worth of the services of any individual that individual is_stimulated to ‘better serve the community... Do the men who opposed. the in- crease in fire apparatus know that, if we had a disastrous fire the property burned could not be replaced for any- thing like it cost, probably there would be a loss of 25 or 59 per. cent. Should any factory be destroyed it probably could not be rebnilt Knrmg the war and machinery could. not.be procured at any price; labor would be seattered and ‘an industry’ wiped out. = Factory construction requiring: structural lus;l cannot be made without government permission, and two large factory en- largements, one of them for war work, are now being held up by the govern- roads, ete, etc. Then there is the Farm Bureau initiated and supported by_our members.

It is only by carnest emdeavor that I can transmit this city to those who follew me better and greater and more beau- tiful than it was transmitted to me.” At the conclusion of Mr. Cary's re- marks, Secretary Branche rose and paid a high compliment to President Cary for the efficient work that he has done during the past six month§. A rmng vote of thanks was given Mi Cary. Rev. Joseph H. Selden, the speaker of the evening, was introduced by Mr. Cary, and in a brief talk Mr. Selden complimented the Chamber of Com- merce on its rapid and remarkable growth, saying that it was notable the short time in which the chamber had become a.power in the communit Mr. Selden also remarked on the effi- cient way in which President Cary and Secretary Branche had conducted the. affairs of the chamber. He urged all members to put their shoulder to the wheel and get out and push for the Chamber of Commerce, one of the greatest benefits to a communit; Contributing Memberships. . President Cary announced that ow- ing to certain conditions and in view of the fact that there were 183 delin- quent members out of a total member- ship of 518, it had been thought neces- sary, as the dues of the chamber are only $6.per year, to raise mone current expenses by other means view of this fact, two committees had been appointed to a contributing the minimum contribu- R. W. Perkins, chair- man of one committee, reporied that so far he had secured $1.625 in pledges {for the coming year and that there would be many more. - Otto E.

The dealers vi ed were found to have pharmacists’ censes. ‘One dealer had 27 dozens of the Jamaica ginger, which contains a,_very high percentage of alcohol, on hand. No arrests were made by the state officers in cases pertaining to the Ja- maica ginger trade.

' In one that developed in one of the vil- lages Wednesday more than two score of .the operatives returned to their du- ties in the afternoon and hope was expressed that the whole situation would be quickly adjusted. It was interesting to hear the com ment of the gcmeral public Wednes- day as to the merits of the strikes. Never before in the history of this town have strikers found themselves without some degree of sympathy from the public, but none was ex- pressed for them Wednesday. Textile “operatives hereabouts are admittedly making world-record wages for persons-in their line of work, vet some of them are not satisfied. To the fathers and mothers and the brothers and sisters. of ‘the boys who are ‘in the trenches in France, fighting this country’s battles at $33 a month, the going on, sirike of persons who lare safe at home and earning in a week nearly as much as the boys over there get in a month is regarded at this time is little less than treasonable. ‘A ong the general public the feeling about the same. And what. has been said of some of the strikers. who are registrants and who have claimed deferred classi- fication and entire exemntion military service on the ground of t ing aliens, wouldn't look well in print. There, was a loud call Wednesday in some sections that the “work or fight” rule that becomes effective on July 1 .be applied with full force in this " district. ' There does not seem any inclination anywhere to deny the operatives the splendid wage scales that are being paxd but there is an instant and zen- eral growl against any action that contemplates a strike, for this is a oyal town and loyalty is expected of all, whateyer be. their calling.
