CCUGaED NIGHT AND DAY
How This Little Orphan Boy Was
 Cured.

Sureo.
 We want the people of Norwich to know that all letters like the follow ing are truthful and genuine:-
 Towanda, Pa 'I took a little or phan boy to live with me and last Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was very i'll and a bad cough set in so that he coughed night and day. After trying everything, nothing seem ed to do him any good, until along in February I got a bottle of Vinol After using half the bottle his cough began to improve, and two bottles en- tirely cured his bronchitis and he gained in weight so that he doesn't look like the same child" Harry A. Stephenson, TOwanda, Pa.
 The reason that cough syrups fail in such cases is because they are palliative only, while Vinol removes the cause, being a constitutional rem edy in which are combined the heal ing elements of fresh cods' livers, to- gether with tonic iron and beef pep tone. It strengthens and revitaliZes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disease. G. G. Engler, Broadway Pharmacy, Norwich.

ALcORN'S REQUEST
 FORESTALLED PARDON BOARD
Askd Judge Greene Not to Impose
 Light Minimum Sentence.

Although indirect reference was made in the Hartford superior court Wednesday to the parole of William F. Walker that may or may not have had relation to the fact that Judge Gardi- ner Greene of Norwich imposed a minimum sentence of fourteen years and a maximum sentence of fifteen years on a man whom he committed to state prison, says the Hartford Courant. The mans lawyer asked that he receive light minimum and long maximum that the board of parole could use it's discretion in the matter. States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn said to the judge:
 Recent events have satisfied me that, in doubtful cases, the prison board ought not to be given that lati- tude, and 1 think this is a case where they ought not to have it.
 Whether Judge Greene had the same view as to the prison board as the states attorney did not appear, but he promptly fixed the minimum and maximum as outlined.

IN is reported to be expect
L - ing from Austria-Hun-
gray the surrender of the dual
monarcey's entire seacoast. These
expectations are said to amount
to demands as regarding Trent,
Triest, Istria and Fiume. In CO.
nection with showing the true
significance of such demands
how great is the payment de-
manded by Italy for her con-
tinued neutrality, the National
Geographic society has issued a
statement dealing with Flume,
the sole seaport of the kingdom
of Hungary. 7 h e statement
reads:
Austria Hungary carries on
its business with the outside
world through it's great ports,
Triest and Fiume. The future
of it's overseas commerce is larg-
ly bound up with the development
of these cities; for Triest and
Fiume are the New York and
Boston of Austria Hungary, or,
better, they are the dual mon
archie's Hamburg and Bremen.
Fiume is the only outlet of the
Hungarian kingdom to free water
and the Hungarians have spent
millions of dollars in their en-
deavor to make it a model port.
The great Austrian port and the
Hungarian port are keen rivals,
and, during the last few years,
Flume has grown somewhat at
the cost nf the northern neighbor.
Owing to the deep interest
which the Hungarians take in
their coast city, the business of
F'iume has grown rapidly, There
are several harbors; one for
coasting vessels, one for timber
and a general harbor, begun in
1872, and capable of acommo-
dating about 200 large vessels,
, 1t is protected by a breakwater
more than half a mile in length
and is fanked by a great modern
quay more than two miles long
I The wharves and elevators are
equipped in the most up to date
fashion for the handling of a
huge inflow and outflow of trade
The waterfront as the rest of
l the city is lighted by electricity.
'In 1910, Fiume was entered by
!, 1880 vessels of 3,031, 381 tons.
In approximate figures, it's busi-
ness totaled $55, 100000, divided
into an export business of $35, :
l 000,0 900 and an import trade of
! $40, 900, 900. Its trade is thus
: about one halt that of the port of
! San Francisco. Its exports con-
. sist chiefly of the agricultural
products of Hungary, grain, flour,
sugar, timber, horses and some
manufactured wares. The prin-
: cipal imports are coal, wine, rice,
!. various minerals, fruit, jute,
= chemicals, oils and tobacco. There
are several industrial establish
ments in the city, among them
Whitehead's torpedo factory, a
: large paper mill, a royal tobacco
Il factory, flour mills, tanneries and
: rope factories. The fisheries OF
+ the city are important, Quarinerc
gulf being filled with food fishes.

of the Istrian triangle, 40 miles

| M from Russian soldiers
AVA have reached Appointment
Petrograd woman in response to
a note which she enclosed in a
| large number of hampers of food
which she sent to the front some
few weeks ago. She had eX-
pressed a desire to get some
letters from the front which
would show what the ordinary
Russian soldier really thought,
instead of the stereotyped letters
of thanks with which the soldiers
ordinarily acknowledge gifts from
persons or higher social station.
Accordingly she signed the notes
which she enclosed with the
names other three maid servants
making it appear as if these
young women had slipped the
notes into the hampers surrentl-
tiously. The receivers were asked
to reply to these maid servants
and to tell them how they were
farino in the war,
The plan worked we'll. Fifty
of the replies are to be published
in book form shortly. Several
of the soldiers replied in verse.
Several made love in pretty, fan
ciful style. Only one letter out
of the whole number was often
sive.
HOW A COSSACK LOOKS
A Cossack sent a following pen
picture of himself.
Il want to tell you what a Cos
sack looks like. He is not hand
some, no, indeed! Yet he looks
like an eagle. and whether the
foe he meets be German or Aus
trian, he will beat him like an
eagle. A Cossack is small, but
brave. Small is the grain of gold,
yet of great value. However hot
the firing, he will not drop his
gun, but will ride his brave horse
and arrive in time wherever he
may be sent. -
A scout tells of a reconnaissance
from which he has just returned,
''the moon shining as if it were
daylight and the Germans firing
at US constantly and doing US
great harm" He adds:
LET my letter fly from the
German land to the metropolitan
town. | bow to you, sister Ka-
tinka. | am a hero from the
River Don, fighting for our reli-
gion and our country. You and
your friends listen to the holy
bells calling the Christians to
service. We here hear only the
roar of the cannon and the rattle
of the German machine guns.
