GUARD AGAINST DANGER
 FROM CONSTRUCTION CAMPS
Warning From Secretary Townsend of
 the State Board of Health.

The following is the warning given by Dr. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, concerning the danger liable to arise from construc- tion camps:
 During the summer and fall there are located at various places through out the state a, number of camps oc- cupied by laborers who are engaged in construction work on railroads, state highways, water reservoirs or other public works. Unless these are con- ducted in thoroughly sanitary man ner they may be menace not only to the health of the individuals occu pying them, but also to the inhabi- tants of the towns in which they are located, and it is one of the duties of the local health officer to see that they are maintained with a proper regard to hygiene and sanitation in every particular Section 1899 of the Gen eral Statutes provides that every agent of a firm or corporation, and every person who shall maintain or have charge of any structure used as a boarding house or place of abode for laborers employed by them. shall within seventy-two hours after such structure has been occupied for such purpose, notify the health officer of the town in which such structure is located. Such health officer must then within five days inspect the prem ises and make such orders as he deems necessary, or may forbid the use of the camp altogether
 Particular attention should be given to those camps which are so located as to be liable to pollute any public water supply If there is danger of this and another locat ton is not prac- tica ble all excreta from the occu- pants of the camp should be deposited in tight pails or other recep- tacles and daily carried off the water shed. Where the water supply of a neighboring town, not in the jurisdic- tion of the health officer where the camp is located, is threatened, then the health officer should notify the health officer of the town or city using the water. This is very important at this time of the year when typhoid fever may be prevalent and when we are fearing an importation of cholera from abroad.
 At Stony Brook Reservoir.
 When asked concerning the construc- ton camp for the men employed at the Stony Brook reservoir. Superintendent Corkery of the water department stat- ed that it was required of the con- tractor that the construction ca mp should be located below the point where the dam is being built, and this was done The engineer was very careful to have the proper attention given to the location of this. that 1t would not be on the watershed of the reservoir. Strict instructions were giv- en about the care of the camp, and it ic hain 1oOIsa6 after careflIIlv

Take the subject Of wrinkles. for instance There is nothing in the world so ef- fect1ye for removing or preventing wrinkles. baggy cheeks and double chins, d solution of saxolite and witch hazel
 Get an ounce of pure powdered sax olite from any drug store, dissolve the full ounce in a half pint of witch. hazei and use the mixture daily as a refresh ing lotion. The quick and satisfactory results will suprise you. Even after the very first application there is marked improvement.

 The 18th Regiment.
 Connecticut was the first state in the union to fill it's quota under the call for three-year men, and the 18th was one of those which responded to this call. It was peculiarly a regiment in which Norwich had an interest, since the five county companies were enlisted in the town, and when it left for the front on the afternoon of Aug. 22, 1862, it car ried a costly set of colors national an stete, which had been presented by the ladies of Norwich.
 Stationed first at Baltimore, it was ordered in May, 1863, to western Vir- ginia. and saw most of it's service ir the Valley of the Shenandoah as a port of the Eighth corps, army of northern Virginia. It's first battle was at Winchester, against greatly superior numbers, and after three desperate and gallant charges a part of the regiment was captured The handsome regi- mental colors presented by the ladies of Norwich were preserved being car ried for two days wound around the body of the color sergeant, George Torrey, of Woodstock, who escaped capture. Many of the officers and men saw the inside of Libby and Belle Isle prisons, and there were not few ot those present at the reunion whose "reminiscences would reveal narrowing, tales of that prison life. The regi- ment served till the close of the war bing given a public reception at Hart ford upon it's return.

LAUNCH STOLEN FROM SUNNYSIOE
Property of E. B. Dawley Taken Tuesday Night With Rowboat-Ringland Launch Ransacked and Attempt Made to Start its Engine.

Sometimes during Tuesday nigh'
 the daunch Dux, belonging to Everett B. Dawley of No. 21S Laurel Hill ave- nue was stolen from it's morning at Sunnyside.- in the Thames river, and efforts to locate it have been fruitless thus far. The boat is valued at sev- eral hundred dollars. With it was talk en a rowboat belonging to another par ty, and the Ringland launch was visit ed, and it is believed an effort was made to start the engine on that, with the idea of taking that boat. The en- zine is of 25 horse power and evidently could not be started. so it was given up, after about 15 gallons of gasoline had been taken, togther with some eat- albles and tools. The gasoline was se- cured by ripping open the brass pipe from the tank. A pair of fine field glasses was also taken from this boat.

MT. Dawley's launch is 21 feet long and had been newly fitted out this season, having been at the boat build CTS for some time It is painted a dark gray and had 3 1-2 horse power Hartford engine. It was locked to tic mooring inside the dike below the new wharf, but by working on the chain it was possible to unfasten it. His row boat. which was locked to the shOre, was not taken, but one tied near by was used to get out to the launches. Atswhat time the boats were taken is not known, but they were missed early in the morning and an investigation was made. The matter has been re- ported to the police, while authorities in other places have been notified to De on the lookout for the boat and those in 1t.

NORWICH TOWN
Back in the Days of 1676-EIder iFitch's Prayer for Rain Brought Results-Attended Fellowship Meet ing at Lebanon-PersonaIs and NeWsy Items.

The summer of 1878 was remarka- ble for a long continued drought which was particularly severe in southern Connecticut in August. The Indian corn was dried up and the Mohegans were afraid that they would lose their whole crop. From apple trees the fruit and leaves fell off as in autumn and some trees seemed dead. Uncas with many Irdains cannes into town to Rev. MT. Fitch. first pastor of the church here and one of the two noted founders of Norwich, and said their powwows could get no rain in their way of worship and they wanted MT. Fitch to pray for rain.
 He then appointed a day of fasting and prayer for rain. and writes T have found by experience twice in the like case when we sought by fasting and prayer He hath given us rain and never denied us.'' He asked Uncas if rain came in answer to grayer would he attribute it to God? Uncas made a great speech to the indians confessing that if God should send them rain it must be acknowledged in answer to our prayers. This day the clouds spread more and more and the next day there was such plenty of rain that our river rose more than two feet in height" Thus the sachem recognized the mighty power of God in the prayer for rain.

Charleston Without COmnluni-

STEAMERS REPORTED SAFE.
Speed of the Wind Estimated at 100
Miles an Hour-Property Damage and
Loss of Life Great.

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 27.-Suddcnly ap-
pearing off the coast of South Carolina
and Georgia this morning, Storm that
reached mile minute velocity over
Savannah tonight, venting its force on
plate glass windows, signs, street lamps
and trees, put all wires between Savan
nah and Charleston out OF commission
and at an early hour isolated that city
and Beaufort, S. G.
South OF Savannah there is slight dam
age to wires, the storms operations be-
ing confined TO this city and the rigion
north of here.
Earlier in the night the local wireless
station was in communication with a
number of ships at sea. The Clyde liner
Apache from New York was off the
Charleston harbor unable TO go in on ac-
count of the rough seas. The Mohawk
of the same line was unable 10 leave
Charleston.
The Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company's steamer Cretan, due
here tonight, will not be able TO dock
before tomorrow noon on account of
the storm. All vessels in communica-
lion with the local wireless station re-
port unusually heavy seas, rising sudden
ly.
Very high tides are reported from Ty-
bee island, and earlier, before the wires
were lost, from Beaufort, S. c.
The storm came as sudden surprise
to shipping 1t was born at sea, and
struck almost without warning. Blazing
rockets were sent into the murky sky
above Savannah tonight, warning in
habitantS of exposed islands along the
Georpia coast,
