WILL IMPROVE WATER
SUPPLY AT FORT WRIGHT
System of Cisterns for Collecting Rain
Water to Be Built.


Plans and specifications for a sys-
tenn of cisterEs to collect rain water
from the various building at Fort H.
G. Wright, for drinking purposes, and
for a coal pocket, with the necessary
apparatus for delivering coal from
wharf to the power plant, are being
prepared at the Office of the construct
ing quartermaster in thee New Lon
don artillery district, in New London.
1t is estimated that the construction
Of the cisterns and coal pocket will
mean a further expenditure for i'm
provements in the New London artil-
lery district of approximately $4,000.
The cost Of the construction of the
cisterns will approximate about $780,
000 and the coal pocket $4,000.
At Fort Wright there will be Al
cisterns, ranging in capacity from
$500 to $4,000 gallons. There win be
three cisterns with a capacity of $500
gallons; nine with a capacity of 400
gallons; IA having a capacity Of $500
gallons; IL having a capacity of H.
900, and four with a capacity of 49,
900 gallons. The cisterns will be OF
REINFORCED concrete and each will
have filter and pump. The construc
ton will include laying down spouts
and water connections.
The installing of the system of els
terms is a supplement to the present
water supply at the reservation and is
necessary because the water now OBJ
tainabfe there is braclzish. The water
supply at present is obtained by
means of six tubular wells the equip
ment consisting of two pumping sta
tions containing centrifugally driven
pumps and motors which pump the
water from the wells to a REINFORCED
concrete reservoir Of 100000 gallons
capacity. This system was installed
at a large expense being completed
only several weeks ago.
The proposed new coal pocket will
have a capacity of 1000 tons and is
to be erected for the power plant and
post supply at Fort Terry. 1t will be
located near the new inland harboI
and will include apparatus for unload
ing and delivering coal from the
wharf to the plant. The apparatus
will consist of a small wharf, indus
trial car and tramway.

OPENING OF LENTEN SERVICE
Union Service Held Christ Episcopal Church with Rev.
E. Calvert of New York as the Preacher

it to be carried cut? he asked. Go
over the ten commandments, ask your.
self the question are you setting up
any idols, are you keeping the seventh
day holy, are you honoring father and
mother, and so on through each one
from first to last, ask yourself whether
you are keeping the spirit as well as
the letter Of the law. Though thou
sands of years old, these command
ments still have the power to convict.
Take up the sermon on the mount in
the same way and see if we are fulfill
ing that in spirit and in letter, and
then take up our covenant and see if
we are walking in the light as children
Of light or in the dark as children Of
darkness.
If we are going to be Christians at
ALL we are to be earnest Christians.
The two words are synonymous, they
are inseparable. Let no one think
that he can let Ash Wednesday pass
and still be dutiful Christian. Our
Lord says strive to enter in at the
straight gate and in the straight way,
for not everyone that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king
dom of heaven, but he that heareth
these sayings of mine and doeth them.
If we confess our sins God is faithful
and Just to forgive us our sins.
For the united service next week,
which is to be at Trinity church. the
preacher will be Ri. Rev. Henry D.
Robinson, D. D., missionary bishop of
Nevada.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-02-22

The united services for the Episcopal
churches held each Wednesday even
ing through Lent were begun this
week at Christ church with Rev
Thomas E. Calvert of New York con-
Quoting evening prayer and delivering
the sermon with special application to
the opening Of the Lenten season. On
account of the stormy night the con-
gregatlon was small, but those attend
ing were well repaid by the helpful
discourse given by Rev Mr.. Calvert.
His brief remarks, he said, would be
In the nature of a continuation of his
sermon at morning prayer, and he re-
minded the young churchmen who
were growing up TO be the future war
dens, vestrymen and pillars of the
church that their churchly standing
would depend very largely upon how
they observed the great days and spe-
cial seasons as they came in the church
calendar, To Ash Wednesday we come
in the spirit of penitence. It is one
day upon which we attempt to strike
a balance with God Search me, o
God and try me; examine my heart
and see If there be any wicked way in
me and lead me in the way of life
eternal" This Is one text particularly
applicable TO this day
Self examination was adopted by
Paul and the other apostles with these
words: Prove your own self Do not
let the day pass without sitting in
judgment upon yourself.
But this seems difficult, and how is

A TRIBUTE
To the Memory of DR.. Patrick H, Har,
riman.

A Friend sends the following tribute
to The Bulletin:
Ruskin says TT is a good and safe
rule to sojourn in many places as if
you meant to spend your life there,
never emitting an opportunity of doing
a kindness or, speaking a true word
or making friend"
How true a disciple was DR.. Harri-
man to Ruslin's teaching. In our
moments Of anguish and distress ev-
cry human eye turns towards friend
ship.
Charles Kingsley. the author, when
asked the secret of his life, replied, q
had a friend"
How priceless was the friendship of
the one we mourn today. One whose
bark never foundered on the rocks of
deception and one whose lamp was
ever filled with the oil of truth and
fidelity.
To yearn to be with the friends we
love when the end comes is one Of the
primal emotions Of the heart 1t Is
that which makes us answer the call
of the dying at any sacrifice. Universal
is the desire to die among friends.
THAT yearning and that desire were
gratified both to the friends and 10
the deceased.
Even during the one short week
which was spent in the hospital, those
in attendance felt. as one Of them
stated, I'VE all loved him, he was SO
considerable"
Going TO show his unselishness and
his solicitude for the welfare Of 9th
ers, one of hts first remarks to a
friend, after he had gone through his
ordeal was 'Ill never forget you, but
/ hope I'll never have to return the
favor" He was unselfishness persona
fed, ever ready to respond, night OF
day, at the sacrifice of his own health
He was well described in the following
lines:
Who must an even temper keep,
And hide his thoughts and feelings
deep,
To cheer up those who wall and weep!
The Doctor
Who, when the mercury is low,
Long, weary miles must often go r
Through cutting winds and binding
snow?

ITCHING EVERY MOMENT
Distressing Eczema May Be Quickly
Banished.
IN his Remedv At Our Risk.

Eczema is seen in so many forms
that any itching eruption is almost
certain to be this disease. In the acute
stage the itching is almost maddening
as it does not give one a moments
peace.
Our new skin remedy, Saxon Salve
was devised to meet the need for a
really trustworthy and scientific treat
ment of skin troubles
Saxon Salve not only stops the ter
rife itching ct once, but also pene-
trates the skin pores, reaching the
very root Of the disease with its heal
ing germ destroying power.
You will be both surprised and de-
lighted to see how the eruption begins
to dry up and disappear after the first
few applications.
1t Is splendid for children as well
as for adults and we give back your

Supersedes Massage
as Wrinkle Remover
(The Woman Beautifully

Many women regularly visit the
beauty specialist to have their wrinkles
ironed out with the help of hot appli-
cations, coldr creams and massage.
Most of US realize that there comes a
time when no amount of persuasion of
this sort will avail. This process of
wrinkle removing is wrong in prin-
ciple. Both the hot water and the
nnassaging tend to expand and loosen
the skin, besides softening the muscu-
lar foundation
The very opposite result should be
aimed at. The tissue should be
strengthened the skin frightened, so
there'll be no room for wrinkles. The
best known preparation for the pur-
pose can be made at home by dis
