SPANS POPULATION

Recent census returns show that the
density of population of Spain is only
80 inhabitants per square kilometer
101 per square mile, the lowest av-
crage density of settlement in Eu-
rope. not excluding Russia.
The population of European ma
tions, according to recent estimate,
IS a follows: Belgium. 642 inhabi-
tants per square mile; England 557;
Netherlands, l51, Germany. 500; It.
ally. 306; Austria, 241; Switzerland,
220; France, 202; Russia in Europe,
1874; Denmark, 171 Hungary 1913;
Turkey in Europe, 1856; Servia, $50;
Portugal 14S; Scotland and Ireland.
1877; Greece. 1872; and Roumania, III.
Extensive regions in SPAN are prac-
| t!cally unpeopled; for example. in the
Province of Soria, with an area of
1886 square miles, and the Province
of Cuehca. with 6725 square miles the
number of inhabitants ranges as low
as SO TO the square mile.
Out of total of 40 provinces, %
figure below the general average for
the whole of Spain. They are, with
the exception of the Province of Huel-
Ia, all in the interior of the Peninsula
and once formed the ancient king
doms of Leon, Aragon, CASTLE and
Upper Andalusia. This group repre-
sents a population engaged mainly in
agricultural pursuits, although min
ing and manufacturing are carried on
on a small scale.
OF the provinces containing more
than the general average of popula-
ton per square mile, Barcelona and
Viscayya are the most densely popu-
lated, the figures being SSS and 4S5
respectively. In the more thickly
settled provinces the people are de-
voted to agriculture and are also
largely engaged in manufactures and
commerce. With few exceptions, the
chief centers of population in Spain
are situated south of Madrid.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Pub
 lie Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many applicants for Insurance are rejected is because kid ney trouble is so common to th9 American people, and the larges ma : jority of applicants do not even sus- pect that they have the disease
 He states that judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has probably been more successful in relieving and cur ing these diseases than any remedy known. The mild and healing iniu- ence of pr. Kilner's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of cures.
 We find that Swamp Root is strictly an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes - flfty-cents and one dollar.
 However, if you wish first to test it's wonderful merits, send to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. T.. for a sam pie bottle, absolutely free. When writing be sure and mention The Norwich Daily Bulletin.

HARVARD NOT STRONG
 AGAINST HOLY CROSS
Eight Points All They Scored Against
 the Worcester Collegians.

A touchdown in the first five min- utes and a goal from the field from the 40 yard lines yielding a total of eight points, was all that Harvard conld roll up against Holy Cross on Saturday at Cambridge, while a miserable pass robbed theNvisitors of an easy chance to score by a placement kick from the 10 yard line.
 The Harvard team started with rush, and getting the ball in the cen ter of the field pushed it to the 40 yard line Wendell made one of his low, turnbling runs and rolled over the goa, line for the only touchdown.
 The goal was not kicked
 Three minutes after the second peri cd started, following q heavy penalty, Potter, standing on Holy Cross 40 var dine, dropped pretty goal from the field.
 WigglesWorth, Harvard quarterback is likely to be out of the game for the remainder of the season, for physi- clans have found that he sustained a fracture of the left ankle in the game Wigglesworth, who played on the var sity team last year, went into the Holy Cross game at the opening of the third period Saturday. During the fourth period he was carried from the field. but it was not thought at the time that he was seriously injured. The fracture was later discovered.

A HARMLESS WAY TO
 DARkEN THE HAIR. A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy for
 All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value of saga and sulphur for keeping the hair dark, soft, glossy and in good condition? AS a matter of fact, sulphur is a natural element of the hair, and a deficiency of it in the hair is held by many scalp specialists to be connected with loss Of color and vitality of the hair. Un- questionably, there is no better remedy for hair and scalp troubles, especially premature grayness, than sage ard sulphur, if property prepared. The Wyeth Chemical company of New York put up an ideal remedy of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, and authorize druggists to sell it under guarantee that the money will be refunded if it fails to do exactly as represented.
 If you have dandruff, or if your hair is thin or turning gray, get a bottle of this remedy from your druggist today, and see what it will do for you.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all druggists.

 Fieidine's Work the Feature.

The New London Independents were no match for Manager Bendett,s Nor Wich Independents on the Cranberry. Sunday afternoon and were easily de feated at football, 23 to 0. The win ners scored three touchdowns in the first half and one in the last half. and Rowe's toe conveyed all but the first into goal.
 The only time that New London got anywhere near dangerous they lost the ball on a tumble and at other times they were unable to make headWay against the stiff Norwich defense One touchdown by Popham and two by Fielding were scored in the first half Rowe kicked goals from all but the first. Manager Bendett scored the sin gle touchdown in the second half, car rying the ball over after the New London eleven had twice turned back the Norwich plunges through the cen ter on the 1-foot line.- Rowe kicked the goal.
 The big feature of the game was the running Of Capt. Fielding, who burst through the New London line and backs. tossing off half q dozen taeklers each time before he was downed New Londons 5 one conspicuous feat was in returning the kickoff. by another short kick on which the ball was gathered up by New London man and car- ried 50 yards before ne was finally caught from behind by the speedy Popham 15 yards from the Norwich goal.

YALE 12, SYRACUSE O.
Howe Kicks Two Goals from the Field
 for the Blue.

Yale defeated Syracuse Saturday at New Haven, F to 0, in a game devoid of any specially spectacular features except the kicking of Howe of Yale, who twice put the ball over the bar for field goals for Yale and his punt ing was also an importanct factor in Yale's play.
 The Syracuse haifbacks played a strong game on the defense and pre- vented any long runs on the part of Yale. The Blue tried out the forward pass thoroughly, using it seven times, but only with success twice. The one forward pass tried by Syracuse hit the ground.
 The Ellis did not show anything of a spectacular nature, but they gave the impression of having latent power that should enable the team to develop into a strong one as the days of the big games approach. In the third period Ketcham scored Yale's one touchdown and Francis kicked goal.
 Challenge for Clippers.
 The Greeneville grammar school football team send a challenge to the Clippers for a game on the Cranberry next Saturday. This will be the first football team which has been put to- gether for many years past in the G. G. S.

They expect to have the backfeld consist of Mull1ins, Col Iins, Kramer and Smith, and some more husky boys on the line.

Balm Could Get no Fall on Irish Giant in % Minutes Polinsky Went to the Mat in Eisht Minutes-Slim Crowd Saw Good Wrestling Gard

ciGentaily throwing Swift i'll minutes 10 seconds, 3 minutes 50 seconds and 5 minutes, a total Of F minutes in all.
 Tho referee for all the bouts was a bis~ Graceo- Roman French wrestler, Ducora by name, who was to have Nrestlad Lundin, the Swedish cham pion but passed up the match on ac- count of a strained shoulder, it was an- nounced.
 In the main bout of the evening. Balm men Polinsky first, agreeing to throw him in 20 minutes or forfeit s100. Balm, weighing up towards 2S0, with legs. arms and neck like tree-trunkS, as as good natured as he was big, but Folinsky started to rough it up some, and before long the two big fellows were betting each other in the ribs at a lively rate at every chance. Balm atNength got Polinsky where he could not get away from a front body hold and put his shoulders to the mat after eight minutes of wrestling.
 Balm then took on McGrath under the same conditions, but found in him an entirely different kind of antagonist. Jack showed his Norwich friends how much he has increased in his know ledge of the game and he gave the big man all he wanted to do. At the end of ten minutes Balm had body Sc1S- sors and half Nelson on McGrath, which looked good for 8 fall, but the Irish Giant did q great piece of work Tn get ting away, and came out on top so that he was able to put a toe hold on the Austrian which sent the house into pandemonium as they yelled for Jack te throw the big man. But Balm was too strong in the legs and kicked free, although it was plain he was badly punished by the hold McGrath got away from a couple of more hazardous pla ces before the match came to an GIG without Balm having gained hls fall.
 McGfath received an ovation as he came off the mat.
