 On the way from New London over the turnpike through Montville he had a chance to see what had been done in beginning the construction of the new reinforced concrete bridge at the witch hazel mill. This is a new mod old wooden highway bridge there and the expense is to be shared by the state, the town of Montville and the Shore Line Electric Railway company, which operates the trolley line over this road.
 It is to be 8 fiat steel bridge, costing $3,000, and as it is of reinforced con- crete 1t can be built in sections. so that travel at this point will be inter fered with as little as possible.
 The work has been begun by taking away the easterly side of the bridge, which is the roadway, and leaving the trolley tracks for driving over while the easterly section is put in. A build CT from Sharon has the contract, which calls for the bridge to be completed in 21 days

WHAT THIN FOLKS SHOULD
 DO TO GAIN WEIGHT.
Physicians Advice For Thin, undeveI-
 oped Men and Women.

Thousands of people suffer from ex- feeble stomachs who having tried ad- vertised flesh makers, food -fads, phy- sical culture stunts and rub-on creams, resign themselves to lifelong skinni- ness and think nothing will make them fat Yet their case is not hopeless. A recently discovered regenerative force makes the fat grow after years of thinness, and is also unequalled for re- pairing the waste of sickness or faulty digestion and for strengthening the nerves. This remarkable discovery is called SRrgol. Six strength giving, fat producing. clements of acknowledged merit have been combined in this peer less preparation, which Is endorsed by eminent physicians and used by prom inent people everywhere. It is abso- lutely harmless, inexpensive and effi- cient.
 A months systematic use of Sargol should produce flesh and strength by correcting faults of digestion and by supplying highly concentrated fats to the blood Increased nourishment is obtained from the food eaten, and the additi4nal fats that thin people need are provided. Leading druggists sup ply Sargol and say there is a large demand for it.
 While this new preparation has given splendid results as a nerve-tonic and vitalizer, it should not be used by nervous people unless they wish to gain at least ten pounds of flesh.

LEAD CHILDREN TO
 DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS
Miss Binney Talks Before Christ Church Ladies of Junior Auxiliary Work.

For the purpose of inculcating in children the spirit of doing something for others Miss B. V. Binney of Mid dletown met a number of ladies in Norwich this week at the home of Rev R. R. Graham of Christ Epis- copa1 church, all of whom were in terested in the work of the junior aux iEaries of their church and listened to an outline of plan for presenting such suggestion before children in a concentrated effort taking in the churches in Eastern Connecticut.
 Miss Binney is the general manager of this branch of helpfulness in the diocese and there are assistant man agers who visit the societies and in struct them in what is expected and have general supervision over their endeavors- The whole principle of the movement is to get a child into the unselfsh habit of occasionally doing something for others, and the ways of it's accom- plishment, as outlined by Miss Binney, will make the work at tractive to children in a personal way. Junior auxiliaries for this purpose have been established in the western part of the state and to extend their in- f1uence the meeting was held in Nor wich- What is accomplished will not interfere with whatever work other societies in the churches are under taking, the individual personal en- deavor of the children is what is sought
 The work is ndenominational, in that it is not confined to the children of the church of it's promotion To make all children feel that they can make their own lives more contented and extend happiness in other direc- tions by doing something for others is the sole object

RECEIVES SAMPLES OF
 VITRIFlED SEWER SEDIMENTS
City Engineer Pitcher Pleased with
 New Type He Has Investigated.

Since a recent visit to Hartford to see the vitrified segment sewer blocks in actual working test City Engineer George E. Pitcher has received sec tions of the blocks from the nanufac- turers which indicate how easily a sewer of this new type can be con- structed.
 His investigation in Hartford con- vfnced him of the practicability of us- ing these yftrified segments, which are fitted together by doVetailing joints into which green cement is run. Econ ony is one of the strong features in favor of this type of construction as he figures that for 100 feet of A inch segment sewer. which is probably the size that would be used in sewer to be constructed at Sunnyside. the cost is $200 less than for an eQual length of brick sewer.
 An arrangement of the Vitrifed segments which provides for carrying off water while the sewer is being laid is also a strong point in favor of the blocks and would save about a foot of excavation in many cases, he says, He has the segments at his office and would be glad to have anyone inter- eSted stoy in to see them.
