OBSERVANCE OF THANKSGIVING
Church Services at Central Baptist and Christ Episcopal Special Dinners at Public Insttutions-Barre Burn ing in Evening.

we are not proprietors in anything, but merely temporary stewards of God.
 The preacher mentioned several spe- cific things for which we as nation had reason to be thankful for in the last year. The crops had been two per cent larger than the year before, and nine per cent. greater than the average for the last five years. There is also a growing evidence that people are insisting more and more upon hon esty in public office, as instanced by the political housecleahing in New York city. Another cause of thankfulness to be noted is the fact that there is talk ing place all over our nation a most remarkable laymen's movement for the Christianizing of the world. The sig nificance of this can hardly be estimat- ed, but the larger and more generous support to be given to foreign missions is an assurance that there can be no lack of vitality in a religion that is rising to such a magnificent effort. The year has been notable also in the ex- traordinary amount of individual bene- factions to missionary and other ob- jects, totalling hundreds of millions of dollars. Surely the consideration of these things gives us cause to echo with the Psalmist Tt is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord"
 The offering for the day was for the City mission of the United Workers.

BARREL BURNING.
Rain lnterfered With the Boys Fun, but It Was Not Allowed to Present

As usual on Thanksgiving night there were hundreds of barrels burned at the various sections of the city and while there was some trouble getting the wet stacks to start, when they did burn it was briskly and the danger from the sparks was lessened.
 There were several stacks off Nor+ il Pearl street which loomed up prettily. while off Elizabeth street half dozen poles filled with barrels could be seen for a long distance. Off Washington street and of Laurel Hi avenue there were big fires burning. wh'.1 op Lambs Hill and on the East Side there were many other fires burning Of Elizabeth street a gang had fire and strings of barrels on Naples Hill. while in various other localities the small gangs had good sized displays.

STEAMER CHELSEA LATE
 ON TRIP UP SOUND.
Heavy Storm Caused It to Lay Up in New Haven Harbor Until Thursday Morning,


 The steamer Chelsea had a rough trip up the Sound Wednesday night, and did not arrive here until Thursday afternoon, instead of early Thursday morning, as scheduled. The storm compelled Captain Colberg tn put in at New Haven and remain until Thurs day morning, and he left there about s.3o o'clock for the remainder of the trip, which was none too smooth.
 In accordance with the annual cus- tum, General Manager A. P. Browning presented the agents of the company here and in New London, as well as the captain, mates and engineers and other officers of the line. with turkeys for Thanksgiving. The birds were aboard the steamer Wednesday night, and of course were too late for any Thanksgiving dinner, but they will come in for their share of the dicus- sion later in the week. General Man ager Browning's gifts were none the less appreciated, however.
 On Wednesday the government boat which carries the supplies to the forts in the New London district was un- able to land at Terry or Michie, but the wide expanse of water which separated some of the soldiers at Fort Terry from their Thanksgiving dinners was crossed Thursday morning, and the steamer Genera Nathaniel Greene docked at Plum Island. The two tons or more of freight, including material for the dinners of several hundred men, was put ashore It was still very rough, but change of wind to the southward helped somewhat in lessen- ing the fury of inc waves and permit ted Captain Proctor to land some val uable freight.
 The turkeys were not spoiled bit. The ice cream was intact except that it was harder than when first packed. The bread. pies, cakes and a score or more of delicacies of various kinds were calculated to be in good condition after a nights storage at the freight shed on the wharf in New London. There were other luxuries encased in glass. which would not spoil anyway unless they were uncorked, and care was taken not to have these frozen.

WoMEN's CLUBS.
What State Federation Aeeomplishe,
 and It's Aim.

Norwich was represented at the an- nual meeting of the Connecticut State Federation of Women's clubs held re- gently at Cheshire.
 To the question consistently asked; What does the federation do what does it accomplish. what is its excuse for being ?-the annual reports of commit tees on civics and town improvement. arts and crafts. public health, forestry, literature. education civil service re- form, child labor and industrial condi- tions as they affect women and chil- dren, give sufficient answer. First, what has the federation done? Deh-- nitely stated. certain achievements are: The establishment in number of towns of school gardens. public play grounds and juvenile courts; taking before the state legislature the equal guardianship bill. which as passed be- slows upon Connecticut the honor of being the seventh state in the union and the first in New England to make equal guardianship a law; the secur- ing, through state legislature of better pay for teachers in small country towns: support of the forest reserve and the child labor bills, and the se curing of a woman factory inspector on the board of state inspectors. See ondly what is the federation doing? It remonstrates against competitive examinations for civil service candi- dates. It agitates for public school improvement, particularly just now along the lines of trained teachers and better schools. a pension for teachers. supervision by state aid of the town school systems and minimum certifi- cate requirements. It impresses upon the people the necessity of reforesta- tiOn, and tells how to secure the help furnished by the state and national government. It influences the develop ment of domestic science as taught in schools, and gives helpful suggestions and practical aid toward the perfect ing of home life.
 Tn addition to the many useful move- ments that 1t has started. it must not be forgotten that it is owing to the efforts of the federation that the beau tiful mountain laurel has been legally adopted as the state flower.

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 sec 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 box of Mi-o-na tablets.
 The stomach of a 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 you1l wonder why you didn't tvy 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 ssm- ples free from Booths Mi-o-na. Buff falo. N. Y
