Money Orders abroad in season to reach their
destination. Those interested in foreign
mails will find posted in the Lobby list of
all steamer sailings for the month and their
several destinations. Especial care should be
taken to fully prepay foreign letters as double
the postage is collected of the addreSsee if
enough postage is not placed the article
at the point of starting. All packages should
be securely wrapped and protected, firmly
tied with strong string and lett unsealed that
they may be examined, if desired, by the Gus
toms officials
This office has received in the collection a
package with no address and if it can be
properly identified it can be forwarded to it's
destination. The package contains a set of
children's gray paiamas.
Parties using Christmas stamps, are re-
minded that Great Britain, Orange River
Colony, Rhodesia and Transvaa1 will not
admit any packages bearing such labels.
Germany will admit them to that kingdom
if they are placed on the back of the letter or

MAYOR DUNN OF WlLLlMANTlc
APPEARED IN OPPOSITION
Matter of Sidewalks in That City
Hearing at Hartford
Especial to NC Bulletin


Hartford, March 24.-Mayor Dunn of
Willinantic appeared before the joint
committee on cities and boroughs in
Opposition to the committee. from the
board Of trade OF WHlimantic on the
matter Of a charter amendment which
viii provide different arrangement as
TO sidewalks in that city, this after
noon: and not so much in opposition,
either, as because he wished the char
ter amendment which is proposed
submitted to the people, instead OF
passed by republican common coun-
ell without regard to the feelings OF
himself or the people of the city.
The proposition Of the special COM
mittee on this subject of which the
Chairman is William c. Norris, mer-
chant, who. Mayor Dunn remarked
soto voce to the reporters. doesn't paw
cent Of taxes in Willimantic, is that
instead of the present charter pro-
vision which permits property owners
on any street 10 get together and pc
tnion the common council TO lay
sidewalk grade or their street, and
thus get something approaching uni
1ormity of sidewalks, a provision by
which the city government shall pro-
coed TO establish a sidewalk grade and
order the laying of sidewalks on any
street where 1t may be thought neces-
sary, assessing a portion of the cost on
the property owner and later taking
over the maintenance and repairing Of
the sidewalk.
The city has been divided into dis
tricts, and within each Of those a uni
form kind of sidewalk shall be laid
In the business sections one kind and
in residential sections another kind. 1t
was explained at some length to the
committee that the sidewalks of VIII
limantic at this time are not a. credit
to the city and the property owners
don't take advantage of their right to
petition the common council. so that
the initiative ought TO lie with the city
government
1T is simply to adopt an intelligent
policy regarding sidewalks" said Allen
p Lincoln of the board of trade com
nnittee.
FX-Attorney General William A. King,
ano is also a member OF this commit
zee appeared in favor OF the charter
amendment, but he agrees with Mavor
Dunn that there should be n referen-
dun vote by the citizens of the city
before the amendment is placed in
the charter, and it should be placed
there if the people don't want It.

or OF the change We're Judge William

GOOD TASTE.
DEMANDS It
Porcelain, Not Ugly Metal. is Proper
Filling for Teeth.
DR.. JACKSON PRACTICES
THIS MODERN DENTISTRY
Everybody Can Possess Teeth Of Nat
ural 6eauty-No Pain.

In this day of Porcelain Dentistry
one who suffers the disadvantages OF
an unsound and unsightly set of teeth
is his or her own worst enemy. IT'S
not the intention Of the writer to
dwell extensively on the matter of
being thus handicapped, for eNry
possessor of a poor. repulsive set of
teeth knows too well the disadvantages
which very often extend even to a
tortuous degree. A person who
rather than open his mouth to talk,
thus exposing the decayed condition
OF his teeth, does not enter in con-
versation, is often mistaken for ignor-
ant, or, so to speak, dummy" Still
this same person may be the wit Of
the company a brilliant man or wom-
an. and is sacrificing the opportunity
to make good" simply because of self
consciousness or rather consciousness
concerning the repulsive or detachable
false set of teeth he so zealously at
tempts to hide. Such a person is his
own worst enemy. Since the Inception
of the practice of Porcelain Dentistry
in this city by DR.. Jackson at the King
Dental Parlors many people have been
released from the bondage Of poor
teeth TO find life far more worth liv-
ing, for such teeth are not only men
ace to health, but to social aspirations
as well. The "old school, dentistry
was all right 1t served its purpose
of providing teeth to masticate with,
but it did not 20 far enough to restore
the natural beauty Of the mouth. This
is the mission OF Porcelain Dentistry
to rive you set or teeth either by
filling process, inserted teeth, or
bridgework that will so closely con-
form to nature as to be absolutely
nom detectable. No gold or metal of
any kind is used in the practice of thus
modern dentistry. for metal is in strong
and ugly contrast with the color with
which nature has endowed the teeth.
but Porcelain is natures counterpart
and while shades Of teeth vary Porce-
lain is by unique and practical pro-
cess baked so the precise shading Of
your teeth will be perfectly matched.
In this way you are, through Porce-
lain Dentistry alone. given a set of
nom detachable and teeth that you are
glad to show. If you are the possessor
it, class any longer, but act at once,
for you're rObbing yourself of much
Of the good in life. You will find
it one Of the greatest reliefs you've
ever experienced to be able to talk
and smile without that ever uneasy
sort Of feeling that the one you are
addressing is looking critically at your
teeth. Porcelain Dentistry is for you
because it is the dentistry that will do
the most for you. The methods en-
ployed in the practice are positively
painless. No long drilling or mallet-
ing-the operation is rapid and does
away with the pain and tediousness of
the old time methods. DR.. Jackson
would like to have a talk with you
about your teeth. He will tell you
without cost what he can do for you.
Visit him at the King Dental Parlors,
Franklin Square, over Somers Bros,
any day or evening You ought to

he is the one TO tell you in this city.
