TROLLEY TRANSFERS FROM
 JEWETT CITY LINE. Notices Posted for New Plan to Go Into Effect Monday.

Notices have been posted at the car barns of an extension of the transfer privilege as relating to the Jewett City and the city trolley lines. the same to go into effect next Monday.
 From that time transfers will be given from the Jewett City line to any city point, which has not been the case in the past. Passengers coming into the city on the Jewett City line and desiring to transfer to Yantic, for in stance, will be given a transfer which they can use at Franklin square. This they will receive when they pay the five cent fare which is collected on the Jewett City line after leaving Tafts station.
 They will thus ride to Yantic or any other city transfer points for 15 cents, whereas under the old plan it cost them 15 cents to come into the square from Jewett City. and they then had to pay five cents more if they were going to take car to any city point. The only way to dodg ethe payment of this extra five cents was to get off at Tafts station and run the chance of catching a Taftyille car. As the Taftville cars made no attempt to wait for any peo- pie who might want to do this, it was CTS would get to Tafts station in time to make the switch from one car to the other at that point
 Transfers will also be given from the city lines on to the Jewett City line.
 This condition which existed former ly was recently pointed out to the Shore Line Electric Railway company by the Norwich Board of Trade, and when the arguments of the Board of Trade committee had been presented the road officials at once acknowledged that it was a condition that should be modified. The new transfer plan will be welcomed by the patrons of the Jewett City line, who have long felt that they ought to have the transfer rights which have now been granted.

LIFE'S ROAD, Smoothed by Change Of Food.

Worry is a big load to carry and an unnecessary one. When accompanied by indigestion it certainly is cause for the blues.
 But the whole trouble may be easily thrown off and life's road be made easy and comfortable by proper eat ing and the cultivation of good cheer. Read what a Troy woman says:
 Two years ago I made the acquaint- ance of Grape-Nuts and have used the food once a day and sometimes twice, ever since.
 At the time I began to use it life was d burden. 1 was for years afflicted with bilious sick headache. caused by indigestion, and nothing seemed to relieve me.
 The trouble became so severe I had to leave my work for days at a time.
 My nerves were in such a state I could not sleep and the doctor said I was on the verge of nervous prostra- tion. I saw an adv. concerning Grape Nuts and bought d package for trial.
 What Grape Nuts has done for me is certainly marvellous. 1 can now sleep like child, am entirely free from the old trouble and have not had a headache in over year. I feel like a new person. l have recommended iI to others. One man l knew ate prin- cipally Grape Nuts, while working on the ice all winter, and said he never felt better in his life"

 ins-Condtions Here Ideal for Ob-
 serving Obscurina of the Moon by
 Earth's Shadow.
 About all of Norwich was was out on the streets Wednesday evening from a quarter before 10 to three quarters of an hour after midnight went around with their heads cooked to one side like a chicken watching a hawk. The reason was that they were keeping tabs on the partial eclipse of the moon, which most accommodating ly rode in an almost cloudless sky that enabled her lunar majesty to be seen for the entire period of the eclipse.
 At the scheduled time for the eclipse to begin the shadow of the earth was seen slowly growing over the brilliant face of the moon, beginning at the lower lefthand segment and passing off three hours later at the upper righthand segment.
 At the period of greatest obscurlty, which was at 1112 9-1o just a. slight rim of silver light was seen at the lower righthand segment of the moon Not all places had as favorable con &itions as this section.
 Snow Clouds at Washington.
 Dense snow clouds which hung over Washington prevented the astronomers at the naval observatory from taking H'AOoAA D eclipse, for which they had been pre- parino for weeks. Only at intervals when the winds separated the clouds were the astronomers able to train their powerful instruments directly up- on the partially obscured planet. Hope was expressed. however, that the pho tographs made after the moon had en- tered the shadow would reveal some points relating to the phenomenon that would be of assistance to the astrono- mers in correcting the lunar tables.
 While close observations were inn possible, the great telescopes showed that the moon entered the earth s shadow at precisely 9.41 S-10 and was more than nine-tenths obscured before 1t finally emerged about three hours later.
 Darker Than the Average.
 Dr William R. Brooks, director of Smiths observatory and professor of astronomy in Hobart college, Geneva V. Y, reported good observations of the partial eclipse of the moon, the sky being remarka bly clear.
 Professor Brooks, who has observed many eclipses. classes this one as darker than the average, the portion of moon within the shadow appearing of deep copper color.
