Two calls for the hremen on Sunday within about two hours in the after noon brought out the autochemical and two of the other companies, one call for lire in bales of excelsior outside the Thermos factory, and the other for a small blaze in a playhouse at the rear or the residence of Horatio Bigelow, on Broad street.
 The fire at the Thermos plant was started, it was claimed, from sparks which blew from rubbish burning nearby into pile of bales of excel slor on the east side of the factory, at a little distance from the hydrant house. The fire in the excelsior was seen by Yardman Lacy, who ran to get a pail of water, thinking he could put 1t out that way, but when he got back with the water the blaze had spread so fast that it was beyond ordinary con- trol, and he telephoned to the central station for help. The autochemical re- sponded, closely followed by Chemical Co No. 1 from the Main street station, which regularly answers this call.
 Using the Thermos company fire hose, which is located in a hose shed there the autechemical company at tached a line to the hydrant on the east side of the mill and when Chem ical Go. No. arrived it ran a line from

 The pile of fercely blazing excelsior was first deluged with water from the open nozzles with which the Thermos hose is equipped and when the outside blaze had been killed off the fire de- partment's shut off nozzles were at tached, and the bales rolled over and the pile pulled apart to get at the fire in the middle.

VAcCINATE MEMBERS OF
 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoR SOCIETY. They Attended Meeting at House Where Smallpox Case in New Lon don DeveIoped.

Further precautions to prevent the spread of smallpox are being taken by the New London health authorities. With this end in view several members of the Young Peoples Christian En- deayor society of the First Baptist church were vaccinated Friday night, these having been at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. Abby Churchill, who is a victim of the disease, Wednes- day night, when they were guests of Fred Minson, president of tha society.
 Mrs. Churchill, however, was not in the house when the meeting was held there, she having been removed to the hospital that afternoon. where she was to have undergone an operation.
 According to a physician who is fla miliar with the case, although it was not certain that she was afflicted with the disease, the precaution was taken of isolating Mrs Churchill and she was removed to a small building ad- joining the contagion ward of the hos pita1.
 She was kept under close obervation and Thursday the physicians were practically certain that Mrs. Churchill had contracted smallpox. and Friday this belief became positive.
 When it became certain that Mrs. Churchill had the disease nurses at the hospital, who had been exposed, were ordered vaccinated, and this was done Friday

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
 COLLECTION Appointed for Next Sunday by Rt. Rev. J. j. NiIan-Mgr. Shahan at Head of Institution

In all the Catholic churches of the diocese the following circular from Bishop Milan was read Sunday. As Mrs. Thomas J. Shahan, formerly of Norwich, is president of the university, the letter had special local interest
 '"The annual collection for the Cath ol1c university at Washington, D. C., will be taken up in the churches o1 this diocese on Sunday, November 30th- In the appeal sent out by his eminence Cardinal Gibbons, the chan cellor of the university, he gratefully acknowledges that it was the generous support of our clergy and people which made it possible for the university to live during the trying period of infan- cy and to develop so rapidly that in the period of 25 years it has won for itself an honorable name and place among the foremost institutions of our country
 ''The advantages offered to students at the university are enjoyed not only by priests and laymen, but also by the teaching sisters, 300 of whom have trained there during the last few years. The good influence of that great edu- cationaI institution is thus reaching our elementary schools which are es- sential factors in the religious training of our children.
 Several new buildings are necessary to complete the equipment of the Cath olic university. Therefore we appeal to you to cooperate with the self-sac- riffcing men at the head of the institu- ton in their efforts to make it "a source whence may rightly be expected all those advantages for Christian edu- cation which flow out through Catholic schools to enrich the intelligence with knowledge and to strengthen the heart in the practice of virtue"

RUNDOWN WOMEN.
Find Health in Simple Tonic.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well, strong and healthy as @ woman should be? They may not be sick enough to lie in bed but they are run down, thin. nerv- ous, tired and deyitalized.
 Women are so active nowadays, and so much is expected of them, that they constantly overdo and suf- fer from headache, backache, nerv- ousness and kindred ills.
 Such women need Vinol, our deli cious cod liver and iron tonic with out oil which will create an appetite, tone up the digestive organs, make pure blood and create strength.
 Mrs. Walter Price, Biloxi, Miss, says: T was in a run down condi- ton for months, I had taken several medicines but they seemed to do me no good. Finally Vinol was recom- mended, and from the first bottle I began to improve until 1 am strong and well as ever"
 Try a bottle of Vinol with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you.
 F. s. For pimples and blotches try our Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

Grace Episcopal church, Yantic, con ducted most helpful service Sunday afternoon at the Sheltering Arms. After reading the fourteenth chapter of John he said: "The root idea of money is that we may be able to live our own life. Health is certainly on a par with wealth. The man with money may not enjoy 1t, the man with good health does enjoy it. We can't all have health or riches and some have only few friends, but we can all have that which cannot be taken away. Jesus Is our sympathizing, close, never failing friend. Though we may not be rich nor in health we should rejoice because we are the children of a King and shall live with Him through all eternity
 The familiar hymns, In the Cross of Christ 1 Glory, My Faith Looks up to Thee, Saviour Breathe an Evening BlessiNg, were closely allied to the words spoken; while the soprano solo by Miss Anna Engstrom, For What Must it be to be There, was most pleasing. Mrs. Kettle BoIande was at the piano, Mrs. Albert Kingsley and Miss May Lord assisted in the singing
