Only Question Is as to Type to B,

Theodore E. Ford of Bridgeport and J. H. Hale of Glastonbury, members of the public utilities commission, gave a brief hearing at the Union station in New London at 12.30 Thursday in the matter of a petition of the selectmen of the town of Stonington for an or der approving a plan for a new high way from the Mystic -Stonington road in that town to Lords Point, the high way to cross the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road Co. by an overhead bridge. More than 25 well known citizens of Ston- fngton were in attendance.
 In opening the hearing in the ab- sence of Chairman Higgins, MT. Ford announced that 1t would be possible for the commissioners to remain but a few minutes. as they were obliged to take the 12.57 westbound train. He added that little would be required, as the commission had already deter mined on an overhead bridge and that the only question is as to the type. This phase of the case could not be completed. Thursday. he said. because the engineers of the railroad company had not yet had an opportunity to pre- pare plans for the structure.

BALTIC WOMEN DOING
 KNITTING FOR WAR RELIEF
Blood Ties With English and Scotch
 Enlist Their Interest.

Among the knitted articles which have been sent from here through Mrs. R. R. Graham for the British Ameri- can War Relief work, a considerable number have come from women in the villages of Baltic and Oocum. Many of these are of English and Scotch family connections so that their sym pathy and interest has been readily awakened in this cause and they have been glad to take up the knitting of the socks, mufflers, bandages, knee caps and wristlets which are found useful when sent over across the wa ter. The articles that have been knitted for the use of sailors have been of blue yarn, while those for the sol diers are of khaki colored yarn, and the socks are gray
 Many of the women in Baltic and vicinity who have been doing the knitting are poor women who have not felt able to keep on buying the yarn although they were glad to knit the articles.
 In a number of such cases neighbors have shown their interest by buying the yarn for them.

Women's Health
 Requires Care

Women are so constituted as to be peculiarly susceptible to con- situation, and their general health depends i'll large measure on careful regulation and cerree- ton of this tendency. Their del- icdte organisms rebel at the violence of cathartic and purga- tive remedies, which, while they may afford temporary relief, shock the system and seriously disturb the functional organs. 4 mild laxative is far preferable and. if properly compounded. much more effective.
 The combination of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal for women's use. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to pr. ". E. Caldwell, &52 Washington St, Monticello, Ills.
