JUVENILE CENSUS FOR SCHOOL
BOARD.

F. NJ. Donnelley and w. Camus
have been selected as members of
the corps of census enumerators for
the School Board. They began their
work Monday morning.
All children between the ages of
6 and Is years are to be enumerated,
whether or not they are attending
school even though some of these
may be married. The census is to
include each child of the ages men,
toned, whether employed or not, liy-
ing in residences, hotels, boarding
houses, so long as they are actual
residents. The information will COW
er whether the child is attending a
public, private or parochial school,
the name of the school and whether
the child is deaf, blind. dumb, Grip
pied, sex and age.
Superintendent Gwynn Saturday
confirmed the statement made by Mr..
Habans that the information OBJ
tanned will be used only in an imper
sonal manner, and mo publication OF
the. names of the children enumer-
ated, or their condition will be made.
The object of asking for information
as to the condition OF the child, that
is, whether blind, deaf, dumb or Grip
pied, is to have the data at hand for
the board to consider in the future
when it may take steps to provide
special school facilities for those
children who may be defective, but
the information will not be published
with the names. Mr.. Gwinn said all
the data will be used merely as sta
tistics, and no parent need fear Civ
ing any information the enumerators
ask for in the belief that the unfortu
nate condition of the child is to be
made public.
Mr.. Gwinn re:terates the appeal OF
Mr.. Habans that citizens aid in the
work as much as possible by giving
prompt and correct answers to the in
quiries of the enumerators.

MERCHANTS SEEK
ENCAMPMENT HERE
Plans Under Way for Request to War
Department by Merchants.

a movement to request Congress
to establish an encampment of a di-
vision of federal troops in the
! grounds of the naval reservation or
adjacent to that site was discussed
last week by prominent merchants
and members of the local Naval Base
Committee of commercial exchanges.
Those who proposed the measure
recalled the statement of General
Leonard Wood while here some
months ago referring to the suitable
lty OF the lands on the westside for
la troop concentration and maneuver.
ing ground and the later report by a
federal officer recommending Aurora
plantation as an ideal encampment
location.
Chairman Crawford II. Ellis of the
Naval Base committee said: There
has been some talk of concentrating
all the properties of the war and navy
departments on the Algiers side, by
removing Jackson Barracks and the
L. S. Marine hospital over there. or
course to establish large army camp
on lands adjacent to the naval sta
ton, it would be a great thing for
the city and its merchants. The
movement may crystalize into a re-
quest for Congress to take action at
the commencement of its next ses-
sion"

Dear Sir:-This is to advise you as
an owner of cattle that, as We are de-
yeloping the two squares of ground
near the Parish line bounded by
Teche, Lawrence, Ptolemy and Han
cock Streets at a great expense, and
inasmuch as cattle have caused much
damage to the property and will cause
much more when trees and shrubbery
are planted on same, we intend to
have the city ordinances, relative to
allowing cattle to roam at large, en-
forced.
This does not apply to you if your
cattle are not roaming at large, but
We are sending a copy of this letter
to all dairymen in the vicinity in or
der that no one will say that they
were not warned.
We must protect our property and
the only way to do so is to have the
law enforced, which We intend to do.
| trust that we will not have occa-
sion to have any of your animals i'm
pounded in connection with the above
matter but again wish to warn all
interested that the law will be en-
forced. Please tell your neighbors OF
this and thereby avoid any unpleas'
antness. Yours very truly,
A. Spitzfaden, Jr. Secretary.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

In presenting Elsie Janis in Nearly a Lady, which comes to the Auditorium theater for two days. Friday and Sat urday of this week, Bosworth Incor- porated will introduce a film comedy which ought to take permanent rank among the masterpieces of American humor. Honors for this signal achieve ment in authorship go to Elsie Janis herself as she wrote Nearly a Lady.
 Nothing funnier has been pre- sented in years than the sensation Lord Cecil Grosvenor makes at the dinner table of the Calhoun family on their Montana ranch with nothing more nor less than-a fork! The ab- solute confusion amid which Elsie Janis as the daughter tries to master this new table tool ought to make you laugh until you cry for mercy. Add to this the perfect obliviousness of the whole situation with which old man Calhoun, like a contented old set lion, blows through his proVender in the good old fashioned way and you will readily agree that Miss Janis has done something in the way of keen witted farce.
 These opening episodes are balanced by equally well observed and well written comedy scenes laid in the Riv- erside Drive purlieus of fashionable New York, and the surprise at the end which brings the charming love story to a pleasing climax makes Nearly 9 Lady a big measure in both quantity and quality.
 Three exceptional acts of vaudeville will also be shown today and tomor- row.

There will be a change of photo plays at the Davis today and the spe- cial attraction is The Family Stain, featuring Frederick Perry, supported The Family Stain is founded upon Emile Gaboriaus detective story. The Widow Lerouge The Widow Lerouge who lived several years in small community one morning is found mur- dered in her home. An amateur de- tective and a man of wealth named Tablert are called in. The trail leads to the home of powerful man who many years before was in love with this beautiful girl and was forced to marry a girl of his own station by his family. A child is born to the woman he wanted to marry and to his own wife almost at the same time. He cares so much for the woman that he was unable to marry that he desired to bring up her child in all of the luxuries his fortune could demand. In order to do this he arranges for the two children to be sent to certain place with their respective nurses and there in the night they would be eX- changed so that the illegitimate child would be returned to his home and be known as his legitimate heir. The Widow Lerouge, then young woman, was taken into the secret. Thirty years later the young man who is supp posed to be the son of Valerie, discov- CTS through correspondence the true situation and between grief and hu- initiation goes to the home of his father, ands there tells the other son that he is not the real son of Com marin, but that of his fathers mis- tress.

ly enacted. People of all religious de- nominations join together in the event. The cast is never announced, but is selected from among all classes and nationalities. The characters are largely taken by working people-do- mestics, day laborers, carpenters, painters, plumbers and farmers, from these humble ranks the actors for the sacred drama are drawn.
 The beautiful and inspiring scenes of the Nativity were selected for the substance of the Pomfret lrama and as the plan developed it seemed to touch all hearts. The event broke down any religious barriers that may have existed and the three church so- cieties became as one in a unity of trained as shepherds. Working girls become angelic hosts. The three Wise Men are day laborers; and so through the entire cast.
 The costumes are correctly designed from Bible illustrations and religious paintings. The choirs and instrument tal1StS prepare program of apprO-
 priate music. The three scenes are set on the stage at the west end of
 the long hall-the Annunciation, the shepherds with their f1ocks and the
 three Wise Men. The hall was crowd
 ed and an atmosphere of reverence and deep religious feeling pervades the building. The music introduces the scenes from the Nativity, which are enacted in pantomime after the manner of the
 old English Miracle play. There are shepherds in the field keeping watch over their flocks by night the Angel of the Lord and the Heavenly Hosts the Manager at Bethlehem, the Visit o1 the Shepherds. and the coming of the Magi, wise men from the east, bring i ing gifts of gold, frankincense and i myrrh
 The holy drama has become firmly established in Pomfret with increased 1 interest from year to year.

BILLION AND A HALF FOREIGN
 OWNED AMERICAN SECURITIES
Absorbed in the United States During
 the Past 16 Months.

New York, Dec. 23.-Approximately s1,500, 100000 (par value) of American securities which were foreign-owned when the European war broke out have been absorbed in the United States during the past 16 months, financial experts here estimated today.
 The Delaware and Hudson company announced today that statistics fur nished by the HI principal railroads Of the United States showed that S4S0,S92,135 (par value) of American railroad securities of all forms were transferred from foreign to American owners between Feb. 1 and July S1, 1915. In addition to this amount, the companies estimated that between $50,- 00O,O00 and $75,00O,0O0 was bought by Americans from foreigners during the sa me period, but had not been actually transferred when the figures were com piled.
 Experts pointed out that not only had Americans bought back an enor- nous volume of domestic securities, but that the recent $500, 900 Anglo French war loan had been virtually absorbed here, thus bringing the total of securities taken from foreign sources to at least S2,000. 100000.
 In reaching this estimate, experts took into account previous statement more than $350, ,0O0,0 ,000 (par value) of American railroad securities had come back to this country between Septem- Der, 1914, and February, 1915.
 Another important consideration was the fact that during the past five or six months large quantities of Ameri- can securities of all kinds have been pouring back to this country, chiefly from Great Britain and France. How ever, nearly every foreign country has appeared as a seller of American stocks and bonds. While there is no possibility of approximating the mar ket value of the securities thus ab- sorbed in the past Is months, it was generally believed that the market value is considerably less than the par value.

SIMPLE REMEDY.
 FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe HyOmei Four Times a Day
 and Re Relieved.


 If a few years ago some one had said you could treat catarrh by breathing air charged with a healing balsam, the idea would have been ridiculed and it remained for that eminent investigator. R. T. Booth. to discover in Hyomei this wonderful method of treatment.
 Hyomei has performed almost mirac- ulous results in treating catarrh and is today recognized by thousands of peo- pie as the only advertised remedy for catarrh that can be relied upon to do just what it claims. The complete out fit of Hyomei Is inexpensive and con sists of an inhaler, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
 Breathe the air of Hyomei through the little inhaler druggists furnish with it for a few minutes four times a day and 1t will help the worst case of catarrh. It soothes and heals the mu- cous membrane of the air passages prevents irritation, and effects complete and lasting relief.
 In Norwich there are scores of well known people who have been relieved of catarrh by Hyomei If it does not help you. Lee & Osgood will return the money you paid for Hyomei This Is the strongest evidence that can be of- fered as to their faith in this remedy
