1 WARNING 10 MANY
Some Interesting FacIs Regarding
 Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the con- dition of the kidneys.
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical an- alysis of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly the other organs can not be brought back to health and strength.
 When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow According to health statistics, Bright's disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910, in the state of New York alone. Therefore it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of cures.
 If you feel that your kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle write to Dr. Kilmer & Co, Bingham ton, N. Y. Mention this paper and they will gladly forward it to you absolute ly free, by mail.
 Swamp Root is sold by every drug gist in bottles of two sizes-50c, and s1.O0.

TILLEY AGAIN GETS
 FIRST PLACE FOR THE WEEK.
Close of the 27th Week at the Inter
 national Egg Laying Contest.

The 27th week of the North American international egg laying competition, at Storrs shows a drop of 23 eggs from the score of the 26th week, continu- alton of the "broods7 or sitting season making the loss in production inveit- able.
 This broody condition is no evidence against the layers ability. Another 90 days will put an entirely new com- plexion on the face of the competition. Noticeable in this connection are the late starting pens and the consistent speed with which increases in several low scores are being made. Another noticeable feature is the consistency of the Mediterranean fowls, Leghorns, etc, in the high averages these fowls are maintaining.
 It will be remembered that several pens made such late starts that much fear was expressed that only nominal records would be possible; the facts in the case are so contrary to all expecta- tons, as is evidenced by the rapidity with which some of the pens are over coming the apparently dangerous handicap under which they are at tempting to make respectable show ing.

The English pen of Thomas Barren still leads the competition with 561 eggs in 1S9 days, an average of practically eggs per day for layers. or SO per cent yield for the 27 weeks. This pen seems to have settled into it's old stride of 26 eggs per week, but 1t IS being pushed hard by the pen of F. c. Yosts White Leghorns, which scored 2s during the week. and has a total of 5S9. Since the competition began a few 1 birds have died, and In each of three pens-those of Joseph Keller, White l Wyandottes; J. c. Pundedford, Buff Leghorns. and J. F. Pratt. White Orp- ingtons-two birds has been lost, leav- ing the pens with only four layers Every one of these pens is greatly handicapped in consequence of the loss of two birds, the reserve and regu- lar.

SMALLEST BOAT
 EQUIPPED WITH WIRELESS.
Former Norwich Boys Assisted in Fit
 ting Out the CIarice.

What is said to be the smallest boat in the world equipped with complete wireless outfit is the 45 foot sloop Clarice, owned by the Cloyne House school of Newport, R. l. The plans and work of installing the outfit were made and carried out by R. A. Morton, a well known wireless expert, assisted by o. c. Morse. Jr., and A. Morse, both wireless operators and all masters in the Cloyne House school The aerial extends from spreader at the mast head to one placed on an extension of the bowsprit: heavily insulated wire connects the aerial with the instru- ments in the cabin and the ground wire runs down through the center board box. The receiving apparatus is one of Morton's own combinations, consisting of a number of uniquely connected coils, and has won the frank approval of many of the naval ex- perts stationed at Newport. Consid- ering the short length of the aerial wires, the stations which have been heard is remarkabie-Cape Cod, Watch Hill, Nantucket lightship and at times Fire Island. The transmitter consists of a large induction coil supplied by storage batteries and can be heard at a distance of 25 miles

The Real Secret of
 Rejuvenating the Face
fFrom The Ciubwoman)

She holds the true secret of facial re- iuvenation who has learned how to re- move the dead skin particles as fast as they appear. It's a secret anyone may possess. The aged faded or discolored surface skin may be gradually absorb ed. in an entirely safe and rational manner, by the nightly application of ordinary mercolized wax. Within a week or two the underlying skin, youthful and beautiful 10 behold. has taken the place of the discarded cuti- cle. So little of the old skin is ab- sorbed each day there's no inconye- nience at all, and no one suspects you are putting anything on your face. The mercolized wax. proCurable at any drug store, tan ounce is sufficienD, is applied like cold cream. In the morn ing it is erased with soap and water. It's the best thing known for freckles, blackheads. pirnples. moth patches, liver spots and fine surface wrinkles
 For the deeper wrinkles an excellent recipe is Powdered saxolite, l oz., dis solved in E pt. witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solution produces quick and wonderful results.

The sermon preached Sunday after noon at the Scotland road hall by Rev. C. H. Ricketts of Greeneville Congre- gational church made a strong impress sion on those present. The text was from Eph. 6, 12. and the subject The Wrestling Church. Too many Chris tians of the church lie dormant, he said. Activity brings out the best in a soldier sportsman or scholar. Nearly 90 per cent. of the students give up the college career. not because of expense, lack of health, or inability, but for lack of application of the best nerve force to their studies. A forceful application of the subject to the church was made in closing in these words: Now is your opportunity, wake upl" The solo Serving Jesus was given by Miss Der nice Underwood.

RED ITCHING SKIN
Likely to Be First Stage of Eczema
 What to Do.
Try This Remedy at Our Risk.

" HIS n0Hc0y al WI thSNs
 When the skin of face or body feels hot, drawn and irritable, it Is likely to break out with small watery pim- ples accompanied by violent itching. This is one form of eczema. and should be attended to at once.
 In all our experience We have nev- CT found anything to give such uni formly good results in skin troubles and eruptions, whether acute or chronic, as our new skin remedy, Saxon Salve.
 Besides allaying the frightful itch ing almost soon as applied, 1t sinks into the skin like water into a sponge and thus completely envelops the diseased portion with its powerful healing and soothing ingredients. Im- provement is seen in d very short time, and the skin Is rendered soft and smooth again.
 We cheerfully give back your mon ey if Saxon Salve is not satisfactory. Broadway Pharmacy. G, c. Engler, Norwich, Conn.
