AT TUBERCULOSIS sANAToRIuM. Patients in Shacks Don't Mind Zero
 Weather.

The present cold snap makes no diff ference to the patients at the Norwich tuberculosis sanatorium, who occupy the shacks, sleeping in them under practically outdoor conditions, as there is only a canvas in front of the shacks to shut off the wind.
 The patients keep snug and warm, the women having sleeping bags and the men fur coats, while in addition both classes have bed socks and caps and the so-called hot-water pigs, which are placed in their beds. It is the improved patients who are in shacks. The infirmary where the more serious cases are. is heated.
 It was 1 below zero at the sana- torlum at o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Supt. H. 5. Campbell said Tuesday evening.
 On Sunday the patients enjoyed a nice concert furnished under direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Geary Danihy, and there was also a visit to the sanatorium commission, pr. Maher and pr. Ly- man.
 At Meriden on Tuesday the lowest mark reached in the cold snap in that city was 12 below zero at D. m. In different parts of the town the cher mometer readings varied from s to 12 below zero.
 All the 147 patients at the state tu- berculoSis sanatorium there, with the exception of those in the infirnary and four children, were sleeping out in the open. No frostbitten noses or ears had been reported to Superintendent Din nan and the patients keep their feet warm with hot water crockery jars. Each patient sleeps under three five pound United States army blankets and has no complaint to make about the cold.

THE MODERN CONCEPTION
 OF THE KINGDOM.
Address by Rev. J. w. Bixler Before Quarterly Meeting of the Kings Daughters.

An address on The Modern Concep- tion of the Kingdom by Rev. James E. Bixler, D. D., of New London featured the regular quarterly meeting of the City Union of Kings Daughters, held Tuesday evening in Bushnell chapel, of the Central Baptist church. The president, Mrs. A. w. Jarvis presided and the meeting opened with the sing ing ~of the hymn, Onward Christian Soldiers Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D. led the devotional exercises and spoke briefly in commendation of the work of the organization. The secretary, Mrs. Blackledge, read the roll by circles.
 A solo, My Redeemer and My Lord was beautifully rendered by Miss Elsie Brand accompanied by Miss Ella M. Potter.
 Mrs. Jarvis introduced Dr. Bixler who gave a fine address, tracing the history of the various conceptions of the coming of Christ's kingdom on earth up to the present. The changes of the present age, he said, have brought our conception of the King dom back to Christ's own teaching. This great Kingdom is not the church but works through the church into so- ciety, politics, the schools, industry and the home. It turns industrial strife into a realization of the great DTOLneTnOOQ. IL II1dheS lllS Iull Ol blessing and helpfulnesS everywhere in the spirit of divine will. In the progress of that Kingdom you and I can have a real part. The new con ception helps us to see ourselves as workers with him, that our work has significance and value to him in bring ing about the great result. We dream of the time when humanity will come into it's own with physical force sub dued to service for society, with no more disease or need or drudgery or bondage, with knowledge a universal possession and spirit strong enough to rule itself. Then will be answered the prayer 'Thy Kingdom Come on Earth as It is in Heaven
 Miss Brand pleased with her render ing of Allah by Chadwick.

BETTER THAN cAI0Mel
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are .
 Harmless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-thes sub stitute 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 olive-colored 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 1T. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let pr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place
 Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and disordered liver. Take Dr. Ed wards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and heavy. Note how they clear clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c per box. The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, O. All druggists.

BIRTHS IN CONNECTICUT.
Over 19f2-Death Rate for 1918 Was
 the Lowest in 40 Years.
GAIN OF s63 IN

"Connectcut has recognized the val ue of vital statistics from early colon- 1 ial times, the first law of their collec- tion being passed in 1644," says Dr. Joseph H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, in submitting to Governor Baldwin the 65th report of the board covering the figures of 1912.
 The report does not constitute a l readable volume" says Dr. Townsend, but it is a book of reference for those in search of such facts as it con- tains.'
 No Need to Worry.
 The figures show that Connecticut does not need to worry over it's gain in population. The births for 1912 were 29,03e. an increase of S63 over the pre- vious year. Marriages in 1912 mum bered 12.230.
 The deaths in 1912 were 77,315, or 239 less than in 1911 and the death rate of 149 was the lowest recorded in 40 years. Death rates from infec- tious diseases showed decreases. The report adds: "The growing popular ity of our city hospitals and establish ment of state sanatoria for care of tu- berculoSis and other diseases has very much affected local statistics. For instance, persons contract typhoid in the country and are taken to city hos pitals, where some die. No plan has yet been devised charging the non resident deaths back to the town from which they come"
 Causes of Deaths.
 In 1912 automobiles killed 55 per sons, of whom 43 were males; street cars killed 3, railroad cars TIT, and other vehicles 35. There were 39 homicides, 2O6 suicides and 90S acci- dental deaths.

OLD-TIME GOLD
 CURE-DRlNK TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as the German folks call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip. as it opens the pores, re- lieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once.
 It is inexpensive and entirely yege- table, therefore harmless.
