Bearing upon his shoulders bent the burden Of our woes
Our failures dappOntments hopes dead and scar
Our hasy words unworthy Deeds and sin and fear

Be wise in time and use Hyomei at the first symptom Of catarrh, such as frequent colds. spasmodic coughing, watery eyes, husky voice, or constant sniff1ing and raising of mucus.
 Do not let the disease become deep seated and gradually extend along the delicate mucous membrane going from the nose to the throat and finally into the inngs-then you are in danger Of a serious if not fatal illness.
 There is no other treatment for ca tarrh ills like the Hyomei method. none just as good or more simple and pleasant to use. It is in no wise cure-ali, but certainly is most effective and almost instant relief for head culds. croup or catarrh. Hyomei contains no dangerous or outlawed drugs, and can be safely used in the treatment of small children.
 The Hyomei method is not a round about process of stomach drugg1ng that cnly upsets the digestion-it's nature $ way-you breathe it. Hyomei is a combination of antiseptic and germi- cidal oils.

BUYS FRANKLIN BLOCK.
Windhan County National Bank Ae-
 quires Most Desirable Property.
Danielson, April II
Especial to the BulIetin)


 Especial to the Bulletin)
 Papers were passed Friday night whereby the Windham County Ma tional bank acquires full title to the Franklin block, located at the corner 'of Main and Center streets. The block is now occupied by the Keystone department store On the first floor and the Bohemian club on the second. Friday an official of the bank said that the first floor will be entirely re- modelled and renovated and an up-to- date banking equipment installed. The new block, which has been owned by Mrs. E. H. Jacobs, recently deceased, will give the bank larger working space for it's employees and a larger lobby for the public.
 The windham National bank, now located in the Phoenix building. enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest banking institutions within the state of Connecticut, it having been organized in 1883 as a state bank, changing into the national banking system in 1865. For 92 consecutive years this bank has faithfully and conscientiously served the people of Windham county. and the purchase of the Franklin block for a permanent home is a further guarantee of the banks strong position and stability, placing it at @. very central location, and with its modern equipment it will be in a position to serve the public to a better advantage than ever before.
 The Keystone department store will seek new quarters. but the Bohemian club is to remain at its present loca- ton.

will be required for their receipt and tabulation and for printing.
 The abstract will not deal with the banks individually. as it is felt that it would be unfair to show the details of the business of each organization for comparison, but all will be included in a general report which vii give the aggregate gain or loss of deposits throughout the state, together with any charge that may have been made in investments or other official busi- ness
 Standard Forms.
 Another step toward the advance of the banking business which will shortly be instituted by the commits sioners is intended as 8 step toward the standardization of forms. blanks. deeds, and books used by savings all the banks recently, notifying them that they intend to make an exhibit of all such forms at the offices in the Capitol and asking for samples. So far, forty banks have responded all commenting the scheme and forward ing a collection of the desired papers tliat Aooded the commissioners' desk. These will be arranged for inspection There will be no eompulsiop as re- gards adopting any of the forms or books. but it is believed that banking men who see the samples will of their own yoiition select any that are more nearly perfect than the ones they are now using. The advantages of this will be two-fold. tending toward greater efficiency for the banks and toward making the work of the commission CTS and examiners easier. Under the present conditions, an examiner may visit twenty different banks and find that every enc has a different system of bookkeeping or different set of files.

FILLING THE cITYS
 BIG NEW GAS TANK.
500,ooo Cubic Foot Container Getting
 Ready for Service.

Friday night at 6.30 o'clock the big new gas contaiRsr at the city works, of tho capacity of 500 0000 cubic feet, began to fill with gas for the first time. It will be several days be Ore it is filled, as the gas will be put nto it only by degrees as there is a mrplus above usage from what the 1ur re- torts at the works on Norta Main street can supply. It would be too expensive a proposition to run the re- torts specially in order to fill the new container up all at once.
 When the new tank is filled it will give the city plant a total supply of 650,000 cubic feet, which will be ample for all needs. The old tanks, one of 100000 cubic feet capacity and the other of 60.000 cubic feet capacity. will be used as auxil!aries when the new big tank is filled. since the regular city supply will all be drawn then from the new tank.
 One of the marked Improvements that will be noted as soon as the new tank is in service will be in regularity of pressure, as the draft on such a big volume of gas will not be enough to affect the pressure the way it does now when the supply Is drawn from smaller tanks.
 The draft that the Thermos com pany makes on the city gas service will also not have an effect when the new tnak is the source of supply, as the Thermos factory will be on a di- rect main from the gas works to the factory, which can be shut off from the city mains by valve in North Main street near the Preston bridge.
 Before the ne wtank wns roadv fer service it was tested out by being filled with compressed air to show any possible leaks. It passed the test sat- isfactorily and the valves were then opened. allowing the air to escape and leaving the tank ready to receive the gas.
 The tank is 104 feet in diameter and is connected to the meter house by a 20-inch pipe. From there it reduces to 1o-inch pipe to the city main.
