NORWICH WILL HAVE
POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
To Be Opened Here on September %
and Will Be Located in Money Order
Department.

Postmaster Caruthers has received
notification from the government to
the effect that Norwich has been des-
ignated as one of the new places for
the location of a postal savings bank.
The bank Will be opened September %,
and on that same day one will be
opened at New LONDON
Postmaster Caruthers states that
the department will be located in the
money order department of the post
Office. Nothing has been learned as
to whether there will be additional
offices getting additional help because
of the new work, while other Offices
are required to do the additional work
with the present force. 1t is probable
that the present officials will look
after the work. as it is not probable
that the amount of work will be so
great as to require additional men.
The postal savings bank is intended
in large part for the convenience of
foreigners. At present there is. and
there probably always will be, fear
of the savings bank among this
class of people In their mother
countries they always looked to the
government for protection and Sta
biIity and here they have supreme
confidence in the government. On this
theory they will not hesitate to de-
post in a bank guaranteed by the
SOfSI anu Lie IflOlCS NillCIl llISS
now send across the seas WILL in part
at least, be deposited in this country.
No deposits of less than a dollar
will be received and all deposits must
be in even dollars. Not more than
$500 can be deposited. Although no
deposit of less than one dollar will be
received, person through the postal
savings bank can readily save in ten
cent pieces. The way that this is
possible is this: If a man had eighty
cents he could buy eight 10-cent
stamps and pasted them on a card,
and then when he got 30 cents more
and he would then have a dollar and
he could get credit in the bank, just
as for a dollar in the coin of the
realm.
Depesitors are given slips, CORE
spending to certificates of deposit.
These certificates can later be eX-
changed for monds. It is felt that
the postal savings bank system will
result in general increase in the hab-
it of saving, especially. as stated above,
among the foreign classes.
The postmaster is instructed to
place the deposit in local banks and
he is ordered to deposit in each bank
in proportion according to its surplus
and capital.
These are the first two postal banks
to be started in this county. though
Stonington is also to have one. The
starting of these banks will be watch
ed and followed with interest.

estimated that the reservoir has Eain=

At New Haven the rain is of untold
value, as some Of their reservoirs are

The New Haven Union SAYS:
The city is using about 20 million
gallons of water day. and outside OF
Whitney and Saltohstan the other res
ervoirs could hot supply the city any
great length of time during period
of drought. 1t is for this reason that
the water company are now tentem-
plating d large expenditure in Wood
bridge to store water to be used at
times similar to the period We have
just passed through, but it requires
great care in the manipulation of the
supplies from the reservoirs to keep

city and yet conserve what is heces-
sary to be kept, in order to do this
On the first of July according to
the United States weather reports in
this section, the rainfall was six inch
es below the normal, that is, the ac-
cumulative rainfall since Jan 1. In
August this was increased one and
one-half inches, and up to the time
of the present rainy weather the total
rainfall was something like seven and
one-hs1f inches below the normal.
This, of course. meant a very serious

neighborhood of five feet. has risen
but eight inches and that with water
shed of 81 square miles.
The growth of cities and the de-
mand for water is now so great that
streams which had always been neg
lected and never thought of have been
diverted and used for the good of the
people generally and not allowed to
remain as ornaments or for the use
of the few. 1t will not be but few
years before the capacity of the water
sheds in and about Connecticut will be
utilized to their fullest capacity and it
is ordinary prudence for the mana
gers of municipalities or private water
companies to begin to take measures
to impound and save all that will be
required for coming generations.

at the rate of over an inch a day, so
that from now on Fairview will con-

worse than last year, but the pumping
station has proved the salvation of the
city this year.
The rain has caused the Trading
Cove brook to send down much more
water than it has been for the past
month and it is now running to waste
at the pumping station dam. It was
found that the pumps were not work

given a general overhauling and one

REMOVING HER SKIN
(From the Feminine World

The quickest and surest way to make
a good complexion out of a bad one is
to actually remove the thin veil of
faded or discolored outer skin from
the face. This can be done easily
safely and privately by any woman.
The process is one of gentle absorb
ton.
Get an ounce of pure mercolized
wax from your druggist and apply it
at night like cold cream washing it
off in the morning. In few days
the incredible in the wax will have
absorbed the disfiguring cuticle, re-
vealing the fresh young skin under
neath you will have a-bea utiful clear,
natural complexion. The process is
pleasant and harmless, making the
face look brilliantly attractive and
youthful. 1t also effectually removes
such blemishes as freckles. tan. moth
patches, liver spots, pimples, ETC.
Every woman should keep little mer-
seo1ized wax on hand, as this simple
old-fashioned remedy is the best COM
plexion beautifer and preserver known.
