BANQUET TONIGHT You Can Safely Eat One If You Take Two Mi-o-na Tablets Afterwards.
 The Lee & 0sgoOd Co.
 Guarantees Them.

It Is really a pitiful sight to see SO many thousands of people worrying about what they can eat and what they can't eat.
 Dyspeptics, they call themselves, but they stretch the imagination when they do it.
 All these people need to make them healthy. cheerful and of sound appe- tite is a box of Mi-o-na tablets.
 The stomach of dyspeptic is over worked and run down. It needs help to digest the food, but more than that it needs a prescription that will cleanse, renovate, strengthen and put elasticity into the stomach walls.
 Mi-o-na is the prescription that will do this and do it so promptly that you'll wonder why you didn't try it before.
 It stops belching of gas and distress after eating in five minutes. It is un- doubtedly the greatest stomach tonic ever given to the public by special ist in stomach diseases.
 Leading druggists everywhere sell Mi-o-na. The Lee & Osgood Co. sells it in Norwich for 50 cents a large box on the money-back plan. Test sam pies free from Booths Mi-o-na, Buff falo, N. Y.

CLEARS THE COMPLEXION
 OVERNIGHT
PimpIes, Rash. Eruptions, Etc., Quickly Eradicated by New Skin Remedy.

Ever since it's discovery, poslam, the new skin remedy, has, in it's extraor- dinary accomplishments, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the emil nent specialist who gave it to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other disfgurements of years standing. The terrible itching attend ing eczema is stopped with the first application, giving proof of it's cura- tive properties at the very outset.
 In less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads, acne, barber's itch, etc, results show after an overnight application, only a small quantity being required to effect a cure. Those who use polsam for these minor skin troubles should im- mediately secure one of the special 50-cent packages recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 5e-cent package and the regular s2 jar may be obtained at Lee & Osgood's and Smiths drug store in Norwich, Larue's in Put nam. Woodward's in Danielson and Chesebros in Willimantic, and other leading drug stores.
 Samples for experimental purposes may be had free of charge by writing direct to the Emergency Laboratories, S2 West Twenty fifth Street, New York City.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Attractive Vaudeville, Moving Pictures
 and Illustrated Songs.

The Auditorium management scored a hit on Monday with their bill of moving pictures and vaudeville, which they presented for the opening matinee and evening performances for the week. The house was more than filled at both hours with applauding crowds that showed their commendation of each turn on the bill.
 For her two songs Lillian Morelle had well chosen selections, her picture song being I've Taken Quite a Fancy to You, and her spotlight number be- ing Mighty Lak' a Rose, which she renders in pleasing form. Mir. and Mrs. Billy Barry are big hit in their roaring Irish comedy sketch, The Plumbers Mistake, which also intro duces the miniature policeman. Billy Bedard. Francis Wood makes an en- tertaining turn of his skilful hoop roll ing, showing number of new moves which caught the house.
 Welch and Maitland high kickers, contortionists and novelty acrobats, are wonders in their line and stars in the list that has been seen in this city. They had the audience breathless at their joint twisting turns and wonder ing where the limit of their perform ance would be.
 Among the best that has been seen here was Ralph Whitehead, character singer and monologist, whose songs and monologue is all original and a strong attraction. He is capital as the Eng fish chappy or the Italian in his reel tation and stars in the prize fight story given in the Bowery vocabulary.

Alfred Comstoek, Aged 16, Missing
 Since Sunday Evening.

Alfred Comstock, Is year old son of l.. A. Comstock, of Quaker Hill, man. ager of the Peoples Coal company, of New London, is missing. All efforts, including searches by the Norwich and New London police and by Sheriff Sid- ney A. Brown and deputy, to find the boy were unavailing and the parents are distracted by his strange disap- pearance.
 Sunday night Alfred left a place where he had spent the early evening at o'clock to return to his home. His younger brother John went to his home by what is known as the front road" leading from Jerome's corners to the Comstock home Alfred pre- ferred the back road,' which also branches off at Jerome's corners.
 John arrived home all right but AL fred failed to appear. When the min utes and then the hours began to pass and the boy did not arrive at his home MT. and Mrs. Comstock became alarm ed. They connected shouts of There, there" which they had heard, with the absence of the boy, and their alarm increased.
 MT. Comstock notified the New Lon- don police also the Norwich police, and he made a personal search for his son. Nothing that lent any idea of what had happened or of the where abouts of the boy was found. No one who had seen him after he left the crossroads was found.
 Monday morning MT. Comstock se- cured Sheriff Brown and deputy. Sheriff Brown searched in his auto for news of the boy, but found none.
 The cause of the disappearance of the boy is & mystery.

E. Murphy, who is treasurer of the tuberculosis sanitari- um fund, spoke upon the work and the prospects of the Modern Woodmen's sanitarium at Colorado Springs. There were about 125 members of the order in the hall when Consul Allen c. Mat thews called the meeting to order. The visiting camps represented were Nor wich of this city, Cochegan of Mont vile, Shetucket of Versailles. White Oak and New London of New London, and Jewett City.
 District Deputy Joseph R. Hughes of Hartford was also a visitor. and was the first speaker introduced by Consul Matthews. He spoke in a general way of the magnificent membership growth of the order and its fine financial rec ord, and also of the social features, which are an attractive part of mem bership in the camps.
 Treasurer Murphy took up the sub ject of the tuberculosis sanitarium in a thorough way. explaining it's location on a plat of 1880 acres at Colorado Springs, and now after almost year in operation it has two colonies of cot tages containing 120 men who are seeking health. No hopeless cases are received, but only those who have not passed the curative stage, and the rec ord so far has been that 27 have been discharged after spending some time there.

there from Connecticut. There are now 96 on the waiting list.
 On the financial side, the sum or $40, 0C0 has been raised by voluntary contributions from the camps, and the national treasury appropriates the sum of $100,000 each year. Ultimately IL is expected that the colony will number 500 of the tent cottages and cost at least half million dollars. Treasurer Murphy told the representatives that each cottage costs s250, and in many cases camps had contributed this amount to put up cottage, which then had the name of the camp placed upon 1t. He urged that Ionic camp or some of the others in this juridiction might appropriate the money for a cottage. One camp in Bridgeport and one in Hartford had already done this.
 The talk was listened to with much interest. strongly impressing the mem bers with the value of the work that Is being done. This is the fourth meet ing which MT. Murphy has addressed in this state in the interests of the tuberculosis. sanitarium, and he has two mere at which to speak. Tonight he addresses a meeting in Hartford.
 After the talk the meeting adjourn ed and coffee and doughnuts were serv- ed by a committee consisting of A. C.. Everett, F. E. R. Leete and Lyman J. Cobleigh.
 A recent payment made through Ion- ic camp was to Mrs. Mary B. Mather, widow of Frank D. Mather. who re- ceived the full amount of .he certifi- cate held by her husband. The pay ment was made with the usual prompt ness of the order. MT. Mather had been member since 1907.
