 243,153-Its Several Plants Finished Over 200 Million Yards of Cloth-New Building For Calender Rooms at
 Norwich Plant-Dnectors and Officers Elected

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the United States Finishing company was held in the directors room of the Norwich Savings society, Thursday afternoon. at o'clock.
 The annual report was presented in printed form andl as usual, covers very full and complete information in re- gard to the operations of the company.
 Finished 27o, ,163,212 Yards of Cloth.
 The report shows that the company finished 270,163,212 yards of cloth, for which 1t received $4,626.341. It cost $3,559,523 to finish this cloth, leaving net profit of $1.066,S18. Other income. amounting to $176,335, brought total net profits to s1,243,153. Maintenance and general expenses called for $S41, ,799 leaving a balance of $401, 1854. The sum of $496,13z was spent for additions and renewals to the different plants, and nearly one half of this expenditure was charged to operating expenses.
 Improveme its at Norwich Plant.
 Among the luore important of these improvements, the adahion at the local plant is of especial interest, and Is re- ported as follows:
 At the Norwich plant, from plans approved by the Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance companies, was erected large building of steel and brick construction with cement floors, in which will be installed under one roof, two calender rooms. now occu- pying space in two widely separated buildings. This consolidation will en- able the production of better work in this department and at less cost, do- ing away with considerable hand trucking of goods heretofore necessary. This building also gives additional room properly te store white goods in preparation for printing. It also pro- vides a storage room for the large stock of copper rollers necessary at this plant, convenient to the print room. The storage facilities at this plant have been very much cramped for several years.
 Concrete Dam at Silver Spring Plant.
 At the Silver Spring plant in Provi- dence, additional buildings have been erected, and a new reinforced concrete dam with a crescent rollway 54 feet wide on the West river, having a ca- pacity of 70,000,000 gallons of pure water has been constructed, This ad- ditional supply of pure water suitable for bleaching purposes removes the danger of scant water supply. which has threatened this plant during the summer months for years.

MRS. E. ". WILBUR
Gave Touching Talk at Revival Service at North Main Street M. E. Church.

There was an attendance number ing about 40 present at the revival meeting held in the M. E. church on North Main street Thursday evening. After the meeting was opened Mrs. E. w. Wilbur spoke on Sacrifice to those gathered in the church. She took her talk from the scene where Jesus was speaking to his mother while he was dying on the cross. She said in part: What an awful position the mother of Jesus must have been in as she stood by and saw her beloved son gladly lay down his life to save others She loved him as much, and probably more. than any mother loves her son, but she was willing to see him sacrifice his life for the good of others. The mothers of today love their sons, but they are not willing to give them up so that they may serve the needy and bring the great light to them so that they may see how to make their life better. brighter and more useful. If the mothers could only understand this they would be willing to give up their sons and the world would be much better and ev- erybody much happier. The speaker the life of a man who was turned away from the church door by the act of one of the leaders of the church. She said this man, who lived in New York state was drawn to a meeting In the church. He was a man of very evil character and made his living by stealing sheep. The words of the preacher touched him and he was led to confess his wrongs. In his con fession he told how he had stolen sheep from one of the leaders of the church and said that he was willing to take up the new life and follow it and that he was sorry for his sin. The next day this deacon of the church had him arrested for his crime. This act turned the man against religion and churches and during the rest of his life he refused to enter or have anything to do with a church. The speaker concluded with the heart breaking story of how the mans wife, who was a true Christian. tried to turn the man from his evil thoughts on his deathbed-
 During the service the II year old daughter of the captain rendered the Two Little Orphans, and there was much comment upon the quality of her singing. There will be no ser vices in the church Monday and Tues day evenings, as Captain Wilbur has been called to New Haven to attend an officers council there which will be held Tuesday. There will be ser vice Sunday evening.

PROVES SURE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen Joints and Muscles--DriVes All
 Rheumatic Pains Away.

It is needless to suffer any longer with rheumatism. and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape with It's heart-wrenching pains, when you can be quickly and permanently cured.
 Rheumatism comes from weak, in- active kidneys. that fail to filter from the blood. the poisonous waste mat ter and uric acid: and it is useless to rub on liniments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only prolongs the misery and can't possibly cure you.
 The only way to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new dis covery, Croxone, positively does this It neutralizes and dissolves all the poisonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles to scratch and irritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out and strengthens the stopped-up. inactive kidneys, so they filter all the poison from the blood. and drive it on and out of the system.
 Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for curing chronic rheumatism, kidney troubles and blad. der disorders You will find it differ. ent from all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. I matters not how old you are. or hos long you have suffered, 1t is practicall! impossible to take it into the human 1 system without results. You will fint relief from the first few doses, ant you will be surprised how quickly al your misery and suffering will end. i An original package of Croxon costs but trifle at any first clas 1 drug store, such as The Lee & Osgoo i Co.,, who sell it on a positive money back guarantee. Three doses a da
 for few days Is usually all that l
 ever needed to cure the worst back ache or overcome urinary disorders.

Don't Be Pussy
 About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest Any Kind
 of Food When Given the Proper Assistance.

We are prone to fall into the error of singling out some article of food and soundly berating the fiend who first invented the dish. The habit grows with some people till almost all food is put on the blacklist. This is all wrong. What is required is a lit- tie assistance with those agencies up- on which scientific students for many years have set their seal of approval
 because they have become absolute facts. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for all stomach disorders are recognized; they have a fine record; they are rated reliable, dependable and worthy of confidence just as the president of big bank puts his O. K. on a de- positors check. And so you can eat what you want, whenever you like, knowing well that should indigestion, sour risings, gas formations, fermen- tations or any other stomach distress arise, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ln few moments will put you right.
 Coated tongue, bad breath, heart burn, belching, fiatulency, bloat - all the symptoms of digestive troubles disappear quickly when these tablets are used. They are not a cure Tor anything but dyspepsia and kindred
 complaints. But they have brought relief to more sufferers from digestive diseases than all the patent medicines and doctors prescriptions put to- gether
 The stomach does the heaviest work of any of the bodily organs, yet it's the one we treat with the least re- gard. We eat too much of the wrong kind of food at any time. Tho patient stomach stands such treatment as long as 1t can and then 1t rebels. You get notice of the rebellion in the shape of the gases and pains caused by un- digested, fermentlng food.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold and recommended by all druggists at 5Oc a bnv
