pEMARKABLE RECORD
Flesh forming Food That Succeeds
Nearly Every Time.

Flesh forming Food That Suceesds
Nearly Every Time.
A man or woman might as well
starve outright as to take food Unto
the stomach and not have 1t assimi-
lated, yet IN Norwich as. well as in
every other town and city. there are
many people who are thin, pale and
seem underfed, simply because the
food they eat is not assimilated, and
fails to make good blood and firm
flesh.
Samose, the wonderful fesh-form-
ing food, taken before or after meals,
mingles with the food. so that it is
assimiiated by the system and makes
rich blood and pleasing plumpness.
No one can use it for a week or ten
days without a noticeable gain in
weight. Statistics show that out of
every one hundred people who com
mence the use of Samose. 9S will find
full gain in weight and restoration
of health and strength.
Anyone who is thin, weak. scrawny
and emaciated can put soc on deposit
with y. d. SEWN & Son and take home
box of Samose. If the treatment
does not give a noticeable incresse in
good firm flesh and restore strength
and health, they will return the money
without any onestions.

CHARITY AND CORRECTION ECHOES
Reports Given the Topics Discussed at State Con-
vention-Meetng Under Auspices Of United Work


Under the auspices of the United
Workers a meeting was held on
Thursday afternoon in the lecture
room at the Central Baptist church
where reports were given from the re-
cent state conference of charities and
corrections at New Haven Mrs.
George D. Colt, president of the United
Workers, called the meeting to order
at o'clock. about forty being present
to hear the reports. After the singing
of hymn, Mrs. Colt spoke briefly of
the opening of the convention pro-
gralnnle.
She was followed by Mrs. Frank A.
Mitchell, who spoke of the work done
by the friendly visiting teacher. who
is able to learn of the condition of
backward children by going directly
into homes and beeom. 7g acquainted
with family conditions go that. much
more Intelligent assista~ce can be
given. She also spoke of 2, suggestion
about gardens for the boys and girls in
cities and that these should be made
large enough so that each young agri-
culturiSt can actually produce sDrne-
thing. She referred to the fact that
this idea was carried out at the Mystic
oral school. Speaking of one address
given in New Haven, she said it call
ed attention to the use often made of
the county homes for which they were
not intended. Shiftless fathers and
mothers should not understand that
these We're easy places to get rid of the
care of their children. and foreigners
should be disabused of the idea that
the state provided these places for the
care of children who could later be re-
turned to their parents a when they
reached a productive age. Mrs. Mitch
ell also spoke of the lack of any pro-
vision for the care of dependent chill
dren under four years of age. She
mentioned that the Catholic church
was making provision for these depen-
dents and the bishop had ordered that
the last bishops collection taken on
Easter Sunday should be made nucleus
TO found home for these children.
Preventive Work for Boys.
Mrs. II. NJ Pollock reported on an
other part of the state conventions
programme She mentioned the pre-
ventive work done for boys in the way
of forming George Junior republics,
and spoke of the way cruelty to chill
dren was looked out for just as cuelty
to animals had been years ago Mrs.
Pollock laid special emphasis upon the
impression made by an address upon
vocational school training. making the
school training approximating more
closely to the real life necessities.
Mrs. Colt spoke briefly of an idea
advanced in connection with district
visiting nurses. This was to have
district housekeeper also to follow up
the work of the visiting nurse.
The Social Evil.
Rev. P c. Wright, who has been ill
ali the week with quinsy sore throat,
had recovered sufficiently to be pres
ent at this meeting and made an in
teresting report upon a session of the
convention which considered the So
cial evil. He said he felt that Chris
tan people generally had been too
modest about discussing this subject
and that condition in regard to this

evil had now arisen from which all
citizens are in danger and from
which many suffer more than they
know, He quoted some of the statis-
tics given on this subject in the New
Haven meetings, saying that of over
700 court convictions in Connecticut
on charges related to the social evil.
over one-third had been Of people who
were natives of the United States.
From this we could not delude our
selves that the blame for this was on
the foreign population
He mentioned that there was grow
ing feeling that segregation and IL
cense were the proper means to treat
the social evil. but said that the lit
erature on the subject was quite gem
orally opposed to these methods of
treatment. This was for the reasons
that ito is licensing an evil. bringing
it into public notice. giving it more or
less immunity and thereby encourage
ing it. Rev. Mr.. Wright spoke of the
widespread and terrible results
through diseases spread by the social
evil and advocated a campaign of ed
ucation against it, particularly through
the instruction which parents may give
their children.
State Reformatory Work.
Mrs Frank A. Roath treated of the
way state refornnatory work was dis
cussed in the convention. mentioning
the general criticism of the Connec
ticut Jail system and the way the
county commissioners are appointed.
The Connecticut state prison manage
ment is one of the best, but there
should be employment for men in Jail,
and discharged prisoners should be
followed up to help them. She also
mentioned the need OF more preven-
tive work for girls, and the fact that
q brotherly interest was the most pow
erful force for the reformation of the
habitual drunkard, but It's foundation
lies in the man finding God.
Mrs Mitchell spoke IN a compliment
tary manner of the exceedingly prac-
ticai and scientific paper read by DIR.
pital upon the topic of Hereditary In
sanity.

ferent subjects was interestingly given
by City Missionary Rev C. A. North
rop. Vice. crime, poverty and dis
ease are manufactured in the slums,
he said. and in the tenement house
life of the big cities. IN New Eng
land cities, their tenement problem is
in the old house remo0leded to hold
five or six families where it ought to
hold only one or two. He spoke of
the way the playground movement is
spreading and said Norwich wants a
playground for all the year round to
be run under sufficient superinten-
dence. He spoke of the good reputa :
ton of the United workers of this
city had among the charitable socie-
ties of the state and said that the
| result of the convention would be a
greater number of people than ever
in Connecticut Interested In the public
charities.
