sonal transactions between officers, are prohibited
 This amendment Is considered by military men as direct outcome of the agitation after last summers ma noeuYres which put in appearance flrst in local papers and also extended to magazines, for most of which mem bers of the national guard themselves were responsible.
 The same amendment also prohibits any suggestion for or influence of leg islation pertaining to military matters by members of the national guard ex- cepting through "the regular" which later are defined as military chan nels."
 Former Chaplain Leaves Ministry.
 Rev. J. Spencer Voorhees,, former chaplain of the Third regiment, Con- necticut national guard, of which there were several companies in this part of the state. has left the minis- try for business, declaring that there is not enough money in pastoral work to warrant his staying in it.
 This move of MT. Voorhees, will be of much interest locally, because ot his many acquaintances here. He was appointed chaplain of the Third in 1898 and went out when the regiment went away for the Spanish-American service, which they never saw. Gen George Haven of New London was ad- jutant general at the time. Mir. Voor- hees was appointed from Wipsted. lie succeeded Rev. N. T. Allen of Groton and was a popular chaplain. Rev. J. Spencer Voorhees, was pas tor of the Congregational church in Adams. which is mainly supported by William B. Plunkett, the rich mil owner. Rev Mir. Voorhees will become manager of an investment company.
 "Tn understand this, one must real ize the problem that confronts the minister today" says Rev. Mir. Voor- hess. Never was it so obligatory te live as well as his salary will permit While wages-have increased oO pei cent. and the cost of living about a: much, his salary remains as it was Il years ago. During an active and harc working ministry of 25 years 1t hat been impracticable to save an amount equal to keep him one year when ht out of pastorate at the same rate oi expense"

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Bad Stomach Causes Unslshty Con- plexions. The Lee & 0sgoOd Co.
 Has a Remedy.

Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad blood means sallow, unattractlve skin.
 Why? The stomach in healthy condition separates the nutritious matter from the food and gives 1t to the blood to supply the entire body with nourishment.
 If the stomach is not in healtny condition 1t does not separate rom the food the nutritious matter ana II passes off with the waste.
 Thus the blood is impoverished ana has not sufficient nourishment to sup ply the muscles, skin and body gen orally.
 If you have belching of gas. distress after eating, nausea, biliousness' nerv- ousness or foul breath, then youi stomach is wrong and you want the best prescription for stomach trouples the world has ever known.
 You want Mi-o-na tablets. the gree' stomach remedy which The Lee .& Osgood Go. guarantees to cur indi- gestion, no matter of how long stand ing. or money back.
 Relieves stomach distress at once.
 Mi-o-na is sold by leading druggists everywhere and in Norwich by The Lee & Osgood Co. for 90 cents larg' box. Test samples free from Booth' Mi-o-na. Buffalo, N Y.

Hereafter the secret ballot will not be used. Each officer will sign his vote, which will be forwarded to the adjutant generals office.
