Transportation Committee Confers with Representative of New Haven Road-Thinks Favorable of Committed Ideas-Invitations Sent Out-Contrbutions Coming in Good.

On Monday afternoon the transpor- tation committee of the anniversary celebration held meeting at the Buckingham Memorial at which much business of an encouraging nature was carried out. MT. Cooley of New Ha- ven, representing Traffic Manager A. c. Smith, came here on the 2.o5 o'clock train for the purpose of meeting the committee relative to rates from points in this part of the country to Norwich on the occasion of the cele- bration. He heard what the com- mittee desired and had to suggest and left at three o'clock on the return.
 The committee stated thatait desired to secure special rates to Norwich for both days of the celebration from New Haven. Hartford, Providence, Worcester and Springfield. besides in termediate points, thinking that the rate of a fare and a half for the round trip would be about right. They also want to get a. train north On the New Haven road late in the evening, after the fireworks.
 The representative of the road con- sidered these ideas very favofably and promised to report them to headquar- ters and would forward an answer as soon as possible. It is expected that many thousand people will be attract
 
 committee believes that many more will come if there is a special rate. From the statements of the New Ha- ven representative they feel confident that their requests will be met.
 Sub Committee on Ways and Means.
 On Monday afternoon there was a meeting of the subcommittee on ways and means at the Central fire station, at which it was reported that the sub scriptions are coming in nicely and about fifty have donated to swell the anniversary fund since the. last list was published. The subcommittee has gained the most of these subscrip- tions by soliciting and are well sat- isfied with the results. The total is said now to be over $10,000.
 Invitations to Distinguished Guests.
 The work of sending out the invita- tions to the distinguished guests, in- cluding President Taft, cabinet. and national officers, men of prominence in the literary world. college presidents, state officers and others, including George T. Bromley, was commenced on

INVITE REINSTATEMENT.
Commercial Travellers Will Have Guests at Grand Council Session.

Norwich council, No. 30e, United Commercial Travellers of America, has voted this year the same as last to invite a representative from each of the local papers to accompany the Norwich delegation of commercial travellers on it's trip to attend the an- nual outing of the grand council, which is to be held in Providence, R. l., June and 5. Monday evening Frank H. Patrick, chairman of the committee of arrangements, mailed the invitations, which will be accepted by representatives from both The Bulle- tin and The Record.
 Last year the newspaper men were unable to go, but this year they ex- pect to attend and accept the hos pitality so kindly extended by this thriving and hustling council of the representative knights of the grip in Norwich. The grand council session and outing Is held on Friday and Sat- urday, at which times most of the To- cal membership is expected to journey to Providence, but the newspaper men will probably go down by the first train Saturday morning so as to be in time for the festivities in connec- ton with the outing, which comes on Saturday, June 5.

CAN'T LOSE HAIR
Twenty Years From Today a Bald headed Man Will Be An
 Unusual Sight.

One of the most prominent drug gists of America made statement few weeks ago which has caused a great deal of discussion among scien- lists in the medical press.
 He said: If the new hair grower, Parisian Sage, increases It's sales as lt has during the past year, 1t will be used by nearly every man, woman ana child in America within eight years, v
 And when Parisian Sage IS used almost universally. dandruff will dis appear and with it's departure bald ness, itching scalp. splitting hair ana all scalp diseases will follow ana twenty years from now a baldhead will be rarity"
 There is only one way to cure dan druff and that is to kill the germs. There is only one hair preparation that will kill the germs, and that Is Parisian Sage.
 This unusual hair restorer with It's record of thousands of cures will grow hair on any head where there Is any life left; 1t Is guaranteed by The Lee & Osgood CO. to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching of the scalp in two weeks or money back.
 It is the most pleasant and invigor- ating tonic, Is not sticky or greasy. and is used extensively by ladies of refinement, who desire to have and to keep their hair soft, lustrous and lux urlant.
 Only 50 cents for a large bottle al The Lee S Osgood Co.,. and leading druggists everywhere. and remember when you buy a bottle of Parisian Sage you get more for 50 cents than the makers of ordinary tonics give you.

 Will Be Held Up.

Postmaster Charles T. Welch of Windsor has received communication from the postoftice department inclos- ing list of patrons who have received notices to change the location of their rural free delivery boxes and ordering him to hold all mail of patrons who have failed to comply with the order. All boxes now erected in such manner that the carrier must cross trolley tracks to serve the box must be changed to the other side of the road. as the carrier will not be allowed in the future to cross trolley or railroad tracks to serve boxes: also boxes erected on telegraph or telephone poles must be erected on posts a suitable distance from the wheel track. This does not mean that they must be erected close beside the wheel track, but a reasonable and safe distance from 1t. Since the local route was in stituted it has grown to many times its original size, and the changes ask ed will accommodate the carrier who is obliged to make the trip on schedule time.
