FIRE ESCAPES FOR TOWN HALL
Contract Awarded Berlin Company at Price of $975 Work to Begin at Once-WM be Placed at North End and on Section of West Side of Building

would add about $50 to their bid, with s1ee for brick and building defacings, and other costs which they as low bidders said they did not include, and this decided the committee. Architect c. II. Preston has the matter in charge and work will be commenced immediately.
 The fire escapes are to be placed on the north end and on section Of the west side of the building. They are to be of open ironwork construction and will have a concrete footing in the ground The fire escapes will have a strength of 100 pounds to the square foot
 The fire escape to be placed on the north end will provide for exits from the windows of the town hall on the second floor and from the windows of the bar library above the common pleas courtroom.
 On the west side of the building, which is the Union street side, the fire escapes will be so placed that they will reach the windows of two night school rooms on the upper floor, the county commissioners room and the superior court corridor and anterooms on the floor below, and the city clerk s and assessors room on the main floor of the building. One fire escape would have satisfied the requirements of the law, but the committee thought 1t bet ter to have two. as the expense would be much more.

 As the bid of the Alderhurst Iron company only included one coat of paint at the works, and touching up defacings. and did not include the con- crete footings or other work of other tradesmen. which would raise their price to close to that of the next con tractor, with several contracts to com plete. the joint committee decided to award the whole total contract to the Berlin Construction company at their price of S975.

Bombing Won't Rid
 Hair of Dandruff
The Easiest and Best Way Is To
 Dissolve 1t.

The only sure way te get rid of Gandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liauid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to meisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight and by morning most if not all of your dandrun will be gone. and three or four more appli- cations will completely dissolve and entirely destroy. every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan druH you may have.
 You will find too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once and your hair will be fluffy, lus- trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better
 If you want to preserve your hair, do by all, means get rid of dandruf, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out but makes it stringy. straggiy. dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and every one notices it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store IL is inexpensive and never falls to do the work.

1 Friends here have received from Rev. B. H. Smith in printed form the annual report of the Ing-hok mis- sion, China. In an enclosed special letter he writes: Our regular Sun day congregations cannot be accom- modated in the old church. Christmas the exercises had to be held out Of doors. and this in spite of the fact that the churchgoers were divided into three sections, each coming at differ ent times. Last Sunday as I stood looking over the audience that filled every seat and left some standing, l wished that the friends at home were there too. It was communion Sun day and in the front were twenty -four young people who for the first time came forward to confess Christ. Plan as we may there Is not room in the church for the people who come. "Something has got to be done about it right away" That is what Mrs. Smith said today when she came home from church,
 The population of Ing-holS is esti- mated at 100000. Its area is equal to that of Connecticut. In alluding to the national politics of China, MT. Smith writes: There seems to be prom ise of an administration under Pres ident Yuan that shall benefit the coun- try and be 8 credit to himself.

NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1s14

Peter and John said to the cripple, sRise up and walk" Whats in a name? I'll tell you, men there is something in the name of Jesus. When Jesus touches a man there is something doing. And if that touch doesn't come there is no access for us into the Holy City.
 The preciousness and power of that name ought to lead every man to stand up for that name. I found men on the boat going down the west coast of Africa who were not ashamed to say they were going for gold. I was going to tell the natives about this wonder ful name. We say money talks. but all the gold put together hasn't the power this name Jesus has. Men, get under this name and let its sweetness and power fail on you.
