PUNCH BOARD GAMBLING
 CHECKED BY POLICE.
Prosecuting Attorney Hall Orders the Practice Stopped-PoIiee Notify the Storekeepers,

All over the city on Saturday the policemen on the various beats were making calls on stores and other places where so-caaled punch boards have been in use, ordering that theyibe put out of sight and that they be used no longer.
 The orders went out on Saturday from Prosecuting Attorney John D. Hall that the use of the punch boards was not to be allowed here longer, complaints having been made to him that they were in violation of the stat ute pertaining to lotteries and games of chance. In brief. the statute pro- vides that no property can be given character, kind or quality is not known at the time of purchase
 The punch cards in use in this city in a great variety of places such as cigar stores, shoe shining parlors, small candy stores and news stores, have been furnished from headquarters in Providence, it is understood, and the agent has made stated trips to col lect the proceeds and renew the sup Pply of boards. For the man that punched out the lucky numbers there were variety of articles of varying value for prizes, and as each punch cost the puncher 10 cents, the 500 chances on the board meant that each board returned $60. Of this amount, the local dealer retained $20, it is un- QerSlooo, ana the agent for the dis trbuting company took the rest for the company.
 The punch board seemed to be an alluring form of gambling that had a particular attraction for the youth growing up, and In places where they resorted the punch boards did good business, and the young fellows often spent a lot of money without getting much but the chance to punch the board. In some sections of the city the punch board habit had such strong hold on the youthful imagina- ton that punch boards and a small stock of candy in a show case was equipment enough to start & small store and keeD it running.
 While nearly every small tobacco store and small candy store had the boards, it is understood that many of the dealers were glad to have the call from the police with the order to get the boards out of sight, as they said they were opposed to doing business by way of the boards, but when a rival store in the neighborhood put in a board they were compelled to do so to hold the trade of patrons who want ed to take a chance at the prizes the boards promised

Lavine, who was pinned down by his head could be taken out. He was uIt- conscious and was taken into the au- tomobile of Leonard c.

HAVE YOU CATARRH?
tftS g Dangerous Disease-Hyomes is the Easy. Safe and Rapid
 Remedy,

CataTTn which is usually idIca4ed by isnifhing. frequent colds, dropping5 in the throat, and raising of mucus, Is a serious disease because 1t surely spreads to the delicate lining of the air passages, weakens the entire sys- tenn, frequently destroying the hearing, and makes a mental and physical wreck of it's victims.
 It's as foolish to take drugs to cure catarrh as to swallow a pill to heal g. broken arm. You must have g. direct pplication-Something that will at once reach the diseased tissues, kill the germs, and drive out the poison.
 Hyomei, that can be had from any druggist, is just such remedy. Being a mixture of antiseptic and healing oils that you breathe through a small inhaler it's health restoring medication cannot help going direct to the raw and inflamed lining Of the nose and throat, quickly relieving that choked- up feeling, stopping the unclean dis charges from the nose, and healing the sore spots-you breathe freely. Even the worst cases respond at once.
 There is nothing for the treatment of catarrh ills that is easier, more pleasant or so satisfying as Hyomei, and 1t Is most inexpensive. Lee & Osgood sells it on the "No-cure-no- -pay' plan.

PEOPLE OF EUROPEAN

Special to The Buuetin.)
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 29.-The number of people of European birth and parentage who live in the United States Is strikingly brought home in a statement prepared by the National Geographic Society, which is keeping it's membership of nearly 3o00o0 in formed concerning the geographical phases of the war in Europe. The statement is as follows:
 One person out Of every seven in the United States was born outside Of our borders. We have today 1S,5OO, 900 people of foreign birth with us, and nearly all of them are from Europe. They constitute a population approx imately equal to the combined popula- tions of Belgium and Holland. or of Norway. Sweden, Denmark and Swift zerland.
 we have in this country one-sixth as many Canadians as there are in Canada, a half million more Germans than there are in Berlin, enough Irish to populate four cities like Dublin. enough Italians to people three Romes- We have almost as many Russians as there are in Petrograd. and twice as many Austro-Hungarians as there are in Budapest.
 Tn addition to our foreign born population we have nearly 19.000, 900 children of immigrants in the United States. Counting these, we have as many Germans in the United States as there are in Bavaria and Alsace- Lorraine together; more Russians than there are in the province of Bessara- bia; more Irish than there are in Ire land; and more than half as many Italians as there are in Sicily. We could populate city like Chicago with our EngliSh-born and their children, duplicate the city of Vienna with our Austrian-born and their children, and more than duplicate all the cities of Sweden having a population of more than 10000. with our Swedish born and their children.
 Approximately five and a quarter million people came to the United States to stay during the decade be- tween 1900 and 1910. History records no other such great migration as this Compared with it the Tatar invasion of Russia, the Saraccn invasion of southern Europe, and the exodus of the children of Israel were 1nSignih- cant in numbers.
 '@The character of the annual in- dux of new blood from Europe has undergone a very remarkable change of 1SS1-1S90 the tide of humanity from Europe brought US 1, 1,s52.000 Germans and so7, ,0oe Italians.

HEARD ADDRESS BY
 PRESTON CITY PASTOR
Rev. L. M. Kenesten Made the Ad-
 dress at Y.:M. C. A. Meeting


 Rev. L. M. Keneston of Preston City was the speaker at the Mems meeting held at the r. M. c. A on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and 1t was a, good sized gathering of men who received. his helpful message. The ser vice was led by General Secretary Edwin. Hill and an orchestra furnish cd music. for the singing. After the opening hymns the scripture reading was the 96th psalm and W. A. Morse, general secretary of the Holyoke Y. M. c. A., formerly secretary of the local dent of the Norwich association, of fered prayers.
 Rev. MT. Keneston prefaced his re- marks by reading several verses from the 18th chapter of Romans and he took his text from the following lines: We that are strong ought to bear the inflrmities of the weak and not to please ourselves for Christ did not please Himself"
 Rev. MT. Keneston said that we are born wilfuI but that we must over come this wilfulness. We are not liv- ing alone for ourselves but are living for others and ourselves. Each of us Is a part of the great universe. We owe something to. that which con tributes to our being and we should pay this debt. Owe no man any thing" says the. Bible.
 Y ~In0 speaker tSiu IHeTS dTS CEI OS kinds. of, debts that we haye-oTle of these is physical, another intellectual and thet third is spiritual. We that are strong owe our physical strength 10 the weak, those who support us. We ought to stand as the champions of the weak physically, intellectually and spiritually.
 There are four reasons why we should do all this. The first is be- cause we are strong. Every man who is strong physically, strong intellec- tually and strong spiritually ought to ne a heIp to those who are weak. The yecond reason is because they are weak, the third because it will benefit hem and the fourth because 1t will benefit ourselves.
 During the meeting General Secre- tary Hill announced that the speaker next Sunday will be Rev. Arthur Var tey, pastor of the Taftville Congrega- tional church.
