IONA VITA HAS
ENDORSE ENT Of
MANY HUNDREDS
Perfect Health Is Impossible in
This Land of Rush and
Hurry, Says Eminent
Doctor.
ONE GLANCE REVEALS
PERSONS CONDITION
When Vitality Is Slapped Human
Machine Will Not Run--Na-
ture Needs Help.

In a recen interview one of the
physicians who are introducing the re-
markable new tonic 'Tona Vita" to the
American public had this to say:
THE of living in the larger
cities of the United States is such that
perfect health is almost impossible; the
human machine viii not run true and
strong day after day with its vitality
continually being Slapped by the con-
slant nervous strain. Irregular hours,
hastily eaten food, the wear and ear
and rush of city life, are largely re-
sponsible for the immense amount of
dull, l~istless, half-sick people of the
present generation. Debility or a run
down condition, as it Is called, is
everywhere. Half the people 1 see in
street cars, restaurants, theatres, or
or the street, are Enthusiastically in a
debilitated condition, with their nerves
in such a state that they either wish
to lie down and rest or rush after some
excitement.
Anyone who has met a constant
stream of nervous, debilitated people
as I have since l began my present
work, can tell a man OF woman in this
condition at a glance. I wish to en-
p~hatically state that the numbe of
debilitated people in the larger Ameri-
can cities is appalling.
""Tona Vita the medicine | am help
ing to introduce, is to combat this con-
dition. 1 believe it to be the best
preparation ever before sold to the
public. in that it is Immediately effec-
tive in cases of debility and other
troubles that go hand in H.
this disease"
You ann hope to enjoy life or
meet with much success If you are
tired all the time, have little ambition,
and feel continually depressed in mind
and body. Every half-sick, WORKOUT
man or woman owes it to themselves
and their family to try 'Tona Vita
If the tonic does not make life more
worth living and bring back the
healthy, energetic spirit that is now
lacking the price is refunded. Petty's
Pharmacy has the agency for "Tona
Vita in Newark, n, j.. also for Lees
Rhubarb Laxative, the purest and best
family laxative on the market. Lees
Rhubarb Laxative will not injure the
most delicate constitution. 1t is ideal
for children.

EDISON SEEKING CAPITAL.

Thomas A. Edison has invented a
new device that the public will know
of as DOR as he finds a number of
capitalists willing to handle the inven-
tion. Just what new scheme the
wizard" has to unfold he will not
say at this time, but it is unusual for
him to advertise for. aid over his own
name in marketing any of his inven-
tons. Mr.. Edison's advertisement calls
for meh with a capital of $4,000 to
$1,000 to properly handle the brand
new invention. A considerable num-
Der of replies have been received.

DECLARE JERSEY PUBLIC
SERVICE AS GOOD AS ANY.
Officials of Corporation, After
Tour, Praise Home Railways.

After ten days spent in observing
street car operation in the West, N. w.
Bolen, superintendent of transportation,
and II. A. Benedict, mechanical engi-
neer, of the Public Service Railway
Company, returned to their desks yes
terday. They spent their time While
away in looking into traffic regulation,
car movement and shop management,
in the hope of learning of some new
schemes which might be helpful, if APP
piled to the local system.
Our trip a an interesting one"
said Mr.. Bolen today. and we feel
that the time was well spent. We
watched the handling of traffic in con-
gested centres in various cities, but
in all our travels we did not come
across another Broad and Market
streets anywhere. There isn't another
one in existence. After what we
have seen of the handling. of crowds
elsewhere, l can only repeat that the
Public Service is doing as well as the
best of them.
in Chicago we gave more attention
to the shops of the Chicago City Rail-
ways and the City Railway Company
than to the movement of the cars.
We were able to see a little of the
latter, however. Chicago has several
congested centres, and while they han
die many cars there. they are not the
loading centre that Broad and Market
is. but are points ver which the cars
pass after they have, for the most
part, acquired their loads From Chi
cage we went to Minneapolis and st.
Paul, where they have a fine system.
Helped by wide streets, which mini
mize traffic congestion. they keep the
cars moving with little confusion"
The Public Service men also visited
st. Louis, Indianapolis and Cincin-
natl.

THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS.

Amateur photography is a popular
fad and is so common among tourists
that in making ocean liners their
every convenience cannot be ignored
Not the least attractive feature of
the nodeyn ocean liner is the conn
pletely equipped dark room placed at
the disposal of passengers. One or
mope cabins. conveniently located, are
set aside for the purpose The dark
room is supplied with metal tanks,
running water, racks. trays, and all
possible equipment, together with
electric ruby lamps which may be
switched on or off. AS a rule. this
room will permit several people to
work together, If they desire. An ex-
perienced photographer is placed in
charge of the ships dark rooms on
the steamers of the Hamburg Amer
1can line, who will coach amateur
photographers or develop and print
pictures. if desired A complete stock
OF Photographic supplies is, of course
carried aboard. 1t is a common sight
TO see tourist who has taken snap
shot on deck. for instance. appear a
few hours later and display the fin
ished mounted photograph. The ocean
voyager arrives with pictures taken
en- voyage finished as perfectly as they
would be ashore.

THE pRoUTH AND DISEASE.

a disease that is becoming more
and more prevalent in New England
is tonsilitis. and in looking for the
cause of it. the physicians have until
recently charged it's prevalence to pol
luted milk. The complaint is so COM
mon in Boston and vicinity that the
medical authorities are taking action.
Brookline, Mass, has taken an ad-
vance step toward checking it by re,
curing that all cases coming under
the observation of private practition-
ers shall be reported to the board of
health Of the city Report blanks for
this purpose have been sent to all
physicians
Opinions differ on the cause of the
disease. In some instances it has been
claimed that it is due to milk and the
disease has been traced along certain
milk routes. but a number of physi-
clans discard the milk theory and saw
that il is due to the dryness of the
weather. Their explanation is that
the air is filled with dust, owing to
the lack of rain. so that people are
constantly breathing irritating air,
which causes soreness and inflamma-
ton of the mouth and throat. They
say that a good rain now would do
more than anything else to stop this
throat trouble, as it would clean the
atmosphere.

A WELL HANDLED FIRE.

The Market street fire on Friday
morning was one of the largest fires
Norwich has had TO cope with of late
years and ii was the city's good for
tune that il was a quiet night, for
no one could doubt that stiff breeze
from the west or the southwest would
nave carried the fire beyond the con-
troll Of the fire department and ont
side help would have had to have
been called and with the low pressure
Of the water no one can judge what
might have happened.
The Bulletin was pleased TO hear one
citizen exclaim as he viewed the
ruins on Friday morning: The fire
men did well,' The Norwich fire de-
partm.nt has always done welI-it
has no black marks The Bulletin is
aware Of in half a century.
IL there is any criticism to be made
10 Is that Chief Stanton took too
great a risk in the interests of the
property holders: and his men did not
hesitate TO fight the fire as ne di-
rected and at great personal risk.
Their success in keeping the fire with
in bounds is certainly 10 their credit
All the fircrnen are deserving nj
unstinted praise for the fine work the,
did unser handicapped conditions.

MERCHANDISING ON NEW LINES

The announcement is made that an
other great string of retail stores is to
be capitalized. While there has been
quite a reduction in the prices of prov
ender to the wholesale buyers, there
has not been proportionate reduction
to the consumers. A correspondent.
writing from Chicago. says:
The slump in the cost, of living
urged by the Farmers National con-
gross as a reason for it's opposition
TO the pending reciprocity bill has
been a matter of dispute in Chica go.
although prices of retailers in some
cases show declines in the cost of food
Meats are lower, although furniture is
to be advanced by the Furniture
trust" Comparisons of prices this
year with those of the same date in
1910 show a decline of to cents
in pork chops. 2 or 8 cents in porter
house steak, nearly 10 cents in butter
and almost 40 per cent. in the price of
mutton and lamb The Farmers Ma
tional congress, however, argued that
the farmers would suffer from a reci-
procity treaty and that they should
not be made to do so because the alb
normal prices of 1910 do not now pre-
vail. while wheat, on the Illinois
and Kansas farm. is one-fourth lower
than year ago the Farmers con-
gress declared, ''the same loaf of bread
is sold for cents in Chicago.
The price of hogs on the Illinois
and Iowa farm during the past thirty
days has been only so per cent. of
the price during the same period of
1910, but the prices of meats to the
city consumer are nearly as high now
as then. The farmer is not the one
to strike at because of the high prices
of foodstuffs to city consumers
The economic reason for high retail
prices is attributed by some of the
big merchants to another cause, as is
shown by the announcement that an
other chain of retail stores which may
ultimately number $50 is to be launch
ed. The purpose is to reduce the ra-
ito of delivery and overhead expenses
by increasing the volume of trade
and plenty of capital has been avail
able for merchandising on the new
lines.

the REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Sunday is a good day to look over
the republican city ticket and to reach
conclusions as to the merits of each
candidate.
IL is a list of candidates any party
has reason to feel proud of. The two
aldermen are successful business men
who have held Positions of public
trust and confidence and not been
found wanting.
The four councilmen are men of
ability and good standing in their re-
spective districts: and were selected
because OF the element Of strength
created by good character and de-
served popularity.
The tax collector is virtually elected
because for many years he has en-
joyed the confidence. respect and es-
teen of ali the people.
The nominee for city treasurer is
recognized as an accountant of long
experience and established ability-as
a gentleman who would make an ideal
custodian of and dispenser of the pub
lie funds
The city clerk has in the past made
record for efficiency in this same
position. and deserves TO be e-elected.
or the nominee for water commits
sioner, il may be said of him tia.
he carries all the rules and regulations
OF the water board under his hat. as
the result of many years of faithful
and conscientious service.
The two sheriffs are men familiar
with the duties Of the office and may
Dc relied upon TO faithfully perform
them.
This ~ a ticket which invites the
hearty support of all good citizens
because the success of it means a re-
turn to better and more satisfactory

our midst. But what of those who
cannot go out to greet their old
friends in birds and flowers! The
busy life of a work-a-day world pre-
vents the majority of every commu

shall they do? One of my neighbors
solved the problem for herself by
opening wide the doors and windows
while she was about her work. She
said she opened her mind and heart
to Natures influences at the same
time. She did not make quite SO
many pies as some of her neighbors,
but she seemed very happy without
them, and certainly she and her fam

To my mind, the spring awakening
of plant and blossom, with the re-
turn of bird, bee, and insect is the
fairest of all seasons. There is SO
much of the elements of hope and

OUR FAIR WORLD

written Specially for The Bulletin)
All day and for several days a line
from an old song has been floating
through my brain, and it will force
my efforts 10 keep silent Not that
have tried to silence it, for it is GER
tainly true in these days: "Oh, World,
thou art SO Fair" ooh, World, thou
art so Fairi''
Who has not realized it during these
days of summer weather in May?
Years ago / heard Anna Bracket, a
noted educator, speak in this city on
some school topic. In talking with her
after the lecture, she said: s.Yo our city
is delightful just now, and the
green's are SO beautiful" She was
here at just about this time of year,
and expressed herself as charmed
with our hills clothed in the soft
greens of their new spring costumes.
Lately I have noticed in the papers
that her career was ended, and let US
hope her useful life, spent largely in
labors for others, has earned for her
a rest from toll and an opportunity
to enjoy the beauty and refreshment
of a world fairer even than this.
Who does not rejoice in these soft
tones of new foliage, and the early
blossoms of the season? The children
troop by to school, their chubby little
hands grasping tightly bunch of blue
wild flow ers, an affectionate gift to
teacher, who is expected to be able to
name every specimen offered to her.
Branches of fruit trees are among the
assortment, and a great variety they
furnish in color.
Children notice so much, if their
taste is left to develop itself, and very
pretty are their expressions of admira-
ton at times. A little girl a few days
ago, showed me a flag which she had
arranged in a box, the stripes being
formed from the red blossoms of the
Towering ounce and white plum bios

UP in one corner gave the needed
finish to her patriotic sentiment
wrought out in this floral display.
knew so much less than she of the
details of fruit blossoms, that / said:
THE pear blossoms are very pretty,
are they not?''
A look of surprise at my ignorance
swept over the child's face as she an
swered:
Those are plum blossoms; they are
much whittier than the blossoms of the
pear, and make the flag look mora
beautiful"
Surely the amount of superior wis
dom which can come from a child's
eyes is quite crushing at times.
We used to think fruit blossoms
should not be plucked, but of late it
has been stated that the fruit is better
and more abundant for the thinning
out of the blossoms, so the branches
of the cherry, apple, plum and peach
are taken more freely than formerly,
and a beautiful variety they furnish.
For many years one apple tree in
town was my especial admiration; a
perfect dome in shape, when in full
bloom it seemed a. huge bouquet sym
