Doubles the Numb Der of Eggs.

To be successful with poultry REQUIRES
great deal more careful attention than
many are apt ito think. The house
should be large and warm. The fowls
should have plenty of exercise; but. more
than that, the fowls should be given
as food what their nature demands and
what, if allowed free range, they could
procure for themselves. pages Per.
fected Poultry Food" contains these
ingredients in carefully compounded
ratio. A. A. Olmsted of South Newburv

to this food: 1--WE have been for some

Hawking and Splitting is Caused
 by Catarrh Germs

If the local authorities want to stop the disgusting habit of splitting mu- cous on the sidewalks. they had better instruct the people as to the best method of killing the catarrh gexms and curing catarrh.
 You can easily tell by reading the symptoms below whether you have catarrh or not.
 Offensive breath, frequent sneezing, discharge from nose. stoppage of the nose, huskiness of the voice, tickling of the throat droppings in throat, a cough, pain in chest, loss of strength, variable appetite, spasms of coughing. low spirited at times, raising of mu- cous. difficulty in breathing, loss of vital force.
 The Lee & Osgood Co. has a sensi- ble remedy (money back if 1t fails) for catarrh, called Hyomei. which Is a va porized air so antiseptic that when 1t fs breathed over the infamed and germ infested membrane. it kills all germ life and cures catarrh.
 The price. including hard rubber in- haler. is only s1.00. and money back if it doesn't cure. Extra bottles 50 cents.
 T have tried almost every catarrh cure on the market without benefit. Have been using Hyomei for one week and feel like a new man already Wm. V. Goode, Newark, Ohio June 21, 1909.

A VIVID RAINBOW.
One of the Handsomest Seen Late
 Tuesday Afternoon.


 A remarkably vivid rainbow Tues lowed in a few hours by clearing weather after the continued wet spell gave ground for credence in this as sign of fine weather. Those who were weatherwise repeated the old saying: Rainbow at night, the sailors delight" and cheered themselves with the hope of fine day Wednesday.
 The rainbow came about 5.20 o'clock and continued for about twenty min utes, projected against a background of dull gray clouds with such distinct and brilliant coloring as to attract universal attention from all on the street, and every eye was turned tow ards the east while the beautiful pie ture lasted. So clear and bright were the colors of the bow that every one of the seven primary colors of the spectrum could easily be distinguished from the red of the outer rim to the delicate violet on the inner circum- ference. The bow was a perfect one without break from horizon to hori- zon and of almost equal brilliancy at all points, an extremely rare condi- tion. It was also a double rainbow, the second arch, higher up than the first and very much dimmer, develop Ing after the first rainbow had been seen for several minutes. So unusual was the sight and SO welcome after the rain that everyone was delighted to see the ''bow of promise" and many were called out of doors by their friends to see the sight. In some parts of the town it was reported that the tecple even hurried ont to advan- Etageous hill points where they could get the full effect of the beautiful arch Sunset put an end to the unEivalled display q prisznaxis calsss

STEAMBOATING ON THE THAMES
Many have Piled the River Since the First he Fulton in 1S17-Lis Recalls Old Time Freight and Pleasure Craft

In speaking of steamboating on the Thames river, Avery C. Smith, man aging owner of the steamer Sioht Seer. on Tuesday referred to the many boats which have piled the river in years past. Because of his connection with several of the steamers which have been run from this city, he has been particularly interested in learning of all those which used to make this city their starting point. He referred to the recent reading of an interesting book, Old Steamship Days on the Hudson, by David Lear Buckman, which caused him to think how in- teresting it would be if someone would take the time to gather the data and Of the Thames. our own beautiful riv- CT. that has been the seat of much boating activity since early days
 Norwich has built many steamers and owned and controlled first. and last a list of them that would surprise most everyone to hear about
 My memory" said MT. Smith, "on- ly goes back to the steamers New York and Boston of the Norwich line that occasionally came to our wharves and the smaller though more regular visitors to our piers, the City of Law renee and The City of Norwich, this latter still in existence on the Hud- son
 There was also the steamer Della ware. operated between Norwich and New York by an independent company, which now run the Chelsea on the same line.
 The Old Ella.
 "Then in the summer season there was the Ella, which, by the way, had quite lengthy and noted career. This old boat I was pretty well &C., quainted with, and l have heard much about her even recently from one of her old captains, Edward Smith of New London.
 "The Ella was run on the Thames from 1871 to the year 1903, a period of 33 years. and I hardly think any other steamer ever made Norwich its home port for so long a time.
 "She was built at the Oldfeld yards. Mystic, Conn, in the year 1864, by Mallory & Co.,, for the excursion bus mess in nearby waters. She was then taken south to fill a government con- tract during the civil war, and Capt. through the thrilling experiences that came to her. She was used for vari- ous purposes. At one time she was a despatch boat between Fortress Mon roe, Va, and the surrounding vicin- ity. At other times she was used to carry troops up and down the Chesa- peake bay, to make raids upon the guerillas up the many rivers in and around the Hampton roads country. On one occasion she went up the Nan cymund river with General Graham's flotilla with detachment of 250 sol- diers and captured rebel battery at the head of the river. The steamer led a charmed existence during the war. Not an accident happened to her and none of the rebel shots directed at her ever did her any harm.
 "She was used as headquarters boat at White House Landing in Virginia, and Generals Sheridan, Custer and Roberts lived on board of her there for some time before the capture of the rebels stronghold, the city of Richmond, by the union forces.

MISS WlLLARD's ANNlvERsARY. Celebrated by the y's with a Memorial
 Address.


 The anniversary of Miss Frances K. Willard's birth was celebrated on Tuesday night by the Y's at the room of the W. c. T. '. The memorial address was delivered bv Rev. M. $. Kaufman, D.D. He said in part: While a student at the Northwestern univer- sity and Garrett Biblical institute, Evanston. H., formed the acquaint ance of Miss Willard and esteem it as one of the richest experiences of my life to have known personally one who so nearly reached the ideal of Chris tian womanhood. Born of humble yet heroic parents. she inherited the phys ical. mental and moral qualities which are conducive to high attainment and is Churchville, N. T., September 2s, 1S3s. But her girlhood was spent chiefly at Oberlin, O., and then on a farm near Janesville, Wis. When she was 19, her father moved with his family to that celebrated educational center Evanston. H., where her ad- vantages were excellent. She became a teacher of exceptional abilities and was promoted ot be dean of the wo- mans college of the university. In 1874 came a crisis in her life. The same mail brought to her two letters. One offered her the principalship of an elegant school for young women in New York city. with a salary of s2,400. The other asked her to take the presidency of feeble temperance society in Illinois. She declined the former and accepted the latter She says: No words can adequately char acterize the change wrought in my life by this decision" It meant pri- vation, war. anguish of soul. but it proved to be the path to greatness and renown. She became the un- crowned empress of millions of hearts all around the earth. one of the most royal souls with whom God ever en- trusted essential sovereignty. one of the choicest spirits that has ever graced our human race. As a great leader of women in the temperance work she has never had an equal. In Statuary hall of our national eapi- tol stands her statute by the side of Washington. Every way worthy of that high distinction. Miss Willard was great in mind-power and heart power, great as an organizer and ex- ecutive, captivating as a speaker and fascinating as a writer, but greatest of all in the rounded completeness of her queenly, Christian chara cter.
 There was a duet by Mir. Hilton and Miss Christman and a few words from Miss Harriet Cross and Miss Nellie Starr. It was voted to postpone the Y meetings during the eyangelistic conference
