THREE NEW ENGLAND HARBORS
Development of Boston, Portland and New London Urged by Boston Men on Trade Extension Trip-Mayor Murphy and Party of a Dozen Went From Here to New London Meeting

The chamber of commerce men told the delegations that some time during the year all the organizations visited on this trip were to be invited to visit Boston.
 Other speakers included Mayor Mur- phy of Norwich. A. l.. Pitcher of Mys- tic, J. T. Cruttenden of Mantle and Theodore BodenWein of New London.
 The special car with its. party left New London at 12.55, the party being escorted to the railway station by large delegation
 The train bearing the Bostonians arrived at New Haven at 2.04 and re- mained there till o'clock Thursday evening. Their purpose Is outlined in. the following statement:
 Believing that business prosperity in general depends largely upon the good will and confidence which can be established only through the medium of personal acquaintanceship and real izing the mutual interdependence Of Boston and New England in business affairs, this delegation of Boston busi- ness men is journeying through south- ern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut for the purpose of getting better acquainted with your men of affairs
 Business Meeting.
 After the Boston party had left New London the delegation from Norwich, Willimantic, Putnam and Danielson met at an informal luncheon at the Crocker house. where further arrange ments were made about the eastern Connecticut magazine which is to be published
 The subject of an industrial map of this region was also under discussion, and it was arranged to work towards this and to obtain one of the rural free delivery route maps from the postal department as a means of getting at the territory which is to be covered.

ADDRESS LETTERS RIGHT.
Importance of Correct Addresses Elm
 phasied by Postoffice Department.

Postmaster Caruthers has received circular communication from First Assistant Postmaster General Roper asking his cooperation in relieving the postal service of the burden of incom- pletely and improperly addressed mail matter. The circular says:
 The delivery of letters, especially In the large cities, is frequently de- layed, and often times made impossi- ble, by the omission of an important part of the address, such as the street number or the room number, when ad- dressed to an office building. Not in frequently the name of the street is omitted, only the name of the postoffi ce and state being given. Another source Of trouble is the practice of giving an address at the intersection of two streets without giving the location of the corner, for, in some large cities, a number of carriers routes may ter minate at that point. or it may be the dividing line between the respective territories of the main postoff1ce and a station, or two stations, and, in the absence of the notation, N. E. N. w., etc, the distributors are unable to de- termine to which carrier the mail should be thrown.
 "The increasing careIessness on the part of the public in addressing mail is no doubt aided and abetted by the practice of the department in supply ing deficient addresses and also by the exploitation in newspapers of the abil- ity of some clerks to decipher freak addresses.
 "Postmasters should advise their patrons that complete and accurate addresses are essential to prompt mail delivery and that they should co-op- crate to the extent of seeing that all mail. originated by them bears a street number, or room number in the case of an office building. in addition to the name of the city and state.''

INSURANCE COMPANY
 CANNOT FIND POLICY
Complication Arises in Trial of Suit
 Before Superior Court.

In tha superior court, civil side, at New London, Wednesday, the trial of the case of Mrs. Mary Longo against the City of New York Insur- ance Co. for damages for loss by fire to stock and fixtures of a grocery and meat store which she conducted at 19 Shaw street, Feb. "A, 1910, was re- sumed before Judge Gardiner Greene The plaintiff is suing for $1,500 dam ages claiming fraud on the part of the defendant company in not paying her the insurance. The defendant com pany claims that a policy which she had with the company for $500 had been cancelled previous to the fire.
 When court opened shortly after 10 o'clock Augustus C. Stearns of Quaker Hill, agent for the defendant com pany, was put on the stand. He said he knew Mrs. Longo before the policy was issued On the day the policy was issued he gave it to Patrick A. Sheridan, who was doing business with him, with instructions to deliver and collect.
 He identified letter from the home office of the company in New York, addressed to him, which stated that the company did not issue policies on stock of this character in the names of married women and asking him to take up the policy which he had is- sued
 He made out another policy in the Security Insurance company of New Haven for the same amount.
 At this point in the witness testi- mony, Attorney Robbins for the de- fendant company stated that he would like to put W. A Thomson of New Haven, cashier and superintendent of the Security Insurance Co, on the stand, stating that he had been sub poenaed to come to court and bring the policy in question with him. MT. Thomson went on the stand and tes- tified that the policy could not be found.

COMMISSION
 WORKING ON BULLETIN.
Expects to Publish Law in Language
 Public Can Understand.

The members of the workmen's com pensation commission appointed by Governor Baldwin to execute the pro- visions of the new compensation act for workingmen held a meeting We'd nesday afternoon and evening in the office of Commissioner George E.. Chandler in Hartford continuing de- Alterations and preparations of forms for the filing and reporting of accidents and claims until after Il o'clock at night They met again Thursday morning and continued their work un- til 8 late hour in the afternoon.
 Besides the legal forms which it is incumbent upon the commission to prepare. and on which all cases for the consideration of the commission must be reported by prrties complain ing or filing claims for injuries sus- the writing of a bulletin of informa- ton. Commissioner E. T. Buckingham of Bridgeport said.
 "The commission IS working on: bulletin which will give a summary of the law in language which the general which will give, simplified as much as possible the relation of the law to employe and employer.
 Commissions Power.
 The public should understand that
 
 of a new court, and that a great many cases will have to be judged upon their individual merits, after the evil dence on both sides has been submit ted and considered. Practically a new judgeship is created by the bill which will be the court of first resort in cases that formerly would have been tried in the court of common pleas or the superior court. The commission may be said, in popular language, to constitute q compensation court, from which an appeal may be taken in case of dissatisfaction with it's decreeS, to the superior court. All agreements between employer and employe in case of the settlement for an injury must be approved by the commissioner for the district in which the injury hap pens. Each commissioner is a judge in his own district. The mere Judicial duties of the members of the commits sion in their several districts, outside of the stated hearings held by them, is going to cause much work for them, for they are presumed to inquire thor oughly into the circumstances of each case before approving of any settle ment.
 The issuing of the legal forms is in itself a rather difficult task for the commission, since it has no precedent by which to be governed in making them out.
 Working Hard.
 The commission, said MT Bucking- ham, has been working hard since Oct l. It has been meeting in sub- committees two and three times. each week in New Haven and Hartford, and in full meetings once a week, in order to have everything in readiness by Jan. l. when the law goes into effect. The members of the commission are pr. James J. Donohue of Norwich, E. T. Buckingham of Bridgeport, Taleott Russell of New Haven, Frederic Will Hams of Waterbury and George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Or. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
 Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub- Etitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver Is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel- His efforts to banish it brought out these little oliveGolored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? CalomeI sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids It is best not to take calomel. but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "dullness'' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Ed wards Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggv' and heavy. Note how they clear clouded brain and how they "perk up' the spirits. At 10c and 25c per Dox. The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, O.
