This act is presented by Charles T..

successful operation of the business is amply provided.
 AS a result of Mir Earnings broad, aggressive policy, and strict business integrity. the Royal Worcester Corset company has been for years establish ed as one of the great industrial in stitutions of the world. Nearly two million dollars has been expended in advertising it's products in magazines, newspapers, booklets and other medi- ums, which has resulted in making the three trademark names, Royal Vor- cester," Bon Ton" and "Adtusto." in ternatioally famous. Every pair of corsets that leaves the factory is the final result of painstaking care from designing to shipping room, of skilled labor, the best materials Gall fabric is put to the seyeres& kind of test to prove its strength) and the most mod ern and exacting details of designing cutting and making. In short, no ex- pense or labor is spared to make the industry the worthy expression of a high commercial ideal
 The remark Of q recent visitor to the factory, quoted below. serves to illus trate an Interesting point
 "If just small portion of the fasE- ion and health loving American Wom- en could take a tour through this mod el plant and witness the wonderful processes and ideal working environ 1nents, I believe 1t would be impossible to produce corsets fast enough to meet the demand"

Gardner Lake.

Mir. Editor: There are being so many misstatements made about Gardner lake it may not be amiss to say some thing true of it. It is 8 body of water reported to be three miles long and half 9 mile wide and forty feet deep In the deepest part. After the Falls company of Norwich got permission to use the overflow. they put the overflow dam up and increased the water some extent in depth and paid land dam ages for the encroachment of the add ed water upon private property. The lots sold there only go to the waters edge-no property owner has a right to drain into the lake and the practice could quickly be forbidden. Options were obtained there some years ago, and the total cost of rights then were $20,000. They would not exceed $35, 900 now, I am told. Every heavy wind aera tes the water and the pollution talked about is not of the least conse- quence. It is the nob1est body of fresh water in this part of the state and a lake any up to date city should be quick to avail itself Of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ar Attractive Suggestion.

MT. Editor; The leading article in the current number Of Lippincott's Maga- zine opens with this significant sen tence: Look out for attractive Wom- en in emergencies"
 Now. one thing is true of Norwich: We have the emergency and the at tractive women-our wives and our we should certainly look out for them in emergencies.
 If ex-AlderTn8n Breed was right in saying in his last letter in The Buile- tin that the responsibility of our water emergency lies upon the voters as well as upon our municipal authorities, why not let these thoughtful and attractive women whos always have original and happy expedients have reserve seats also st the adjourned meeting to con- slider the water question next Tuesday evening.
 They certainly are deeply concerned about the matter, as they use most Of the water, and can keep the pot a-boiling."
 l think they would pop the (water) question as soon as a cork ever flew from 6 soda water bottle, if they had an opportunity. Some of these women, know, want to attend the meeting to help out some of us stupid fellows who are "in hot water" when only cold water is needed.
 I think my suggestion is feasible. If our attractive women, to whom we are always willing and anxious to look would only leave off their big hats and wear their hobble skirts, there might be room for at least few of them as delegates up in the desk with the mayor. They would 'pop the ques tion," sure.
 They know their "p's and q's'' and the matter would soon be settled satis- factorily and we would be a happy as Q marriageable and expectant belle.
