WOMAN'S REFO,RMATORY
Favored by Putnam Equal Franchise
 League,

The women of Connecticut have given evidence of deep interest in the proposed womans reformatory. Those who are familiar with such matters are insistent that this bill must not be held up by any consideration of economy. As a matter of fact the ap- propriation asked for to begin the work is so small as not to be con- sidered in the face of such a serious need,
 The Putnam Equal Franchise league was represented at the hearing before the committee on humane institutions at the capitol in Hartford March 9th by Mrs. w. J. Bartlett of Putnam and shall with many others spoke in fla vor of the passage of the bill.
 For the past two years the league has been working with Prof. William Bailey of Yale, to bring the men and women of Connecticut to a realization of this great lack of suitable provision for the care and reformation of way ward young women.
 Petty offenders are now sent to the county jails with hardened criminals Edward A. Fuller, president of the board of directors of the Connecticut state prison, said, in speaking for the reformatory, that he certainly thought Connecticut had money enough to fur ther a movement that would be of economic advantage to the state.

Thin People Can
 Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like 10 increase their weight with 10 or IS pounds of healthy, 1stay there" fat should try eating a little Sargol with the1r meals for a while and note re- suits Here is a good test worth try ing: Eirst weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol-one tablet with every meal-for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think The scales and the tape measure will tell their own story, and most any thin man or woman can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direc- ton. And, best of all, the new flesh
 sargol does not of itself make fat. but mixing with your food 1t turns the fats, sugars and starches of what YOU have eaten into rich ripe fat-producing nourishment for the tissues and blood prepares 1t in an easily assimilated form which the blood can readily ac- cept. All this nourishment now passes from your body as waste. But SarEol stops the waste and does 1t quickly and makes the fat-producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of, healthy flesh between your skin and bones. SargoI is safe, pleasant. eff cient and inexpensive. Lee & Osgood and other leading druggists in Norwich and vicinity sell 1t In large boxes forty tablets to a package-on @ guar antee of weight increase or money back.

TOWN PHYSICIANS APPOINT
 MENT.
Seems to Please the Public Better
 Than It Does the Doctors.

The appointment of town physi- elan has created considerable discus sion and some complications in Wind- ham, It is said that the physicians as whole are opposed to work Of this kind, which they claim is contract work and outside of ethics Of the pro fession. On the other hand, the pub lie seems to feel that the selectmen did a fine stroke of business when they obtained a physician to do all the work among the town poor for a sum less for year than the town had been paying the individual doctors in some months. These people say that the doctors had not hesitated to get the town to pay all their doubtful bills. and should not kick of the town pense.
 The selectmen have found that things are not running smoothly in some regards, and the other physl- clans are not so anxious to have ja- tients taken to the hospital as they were when the town paid all the bills. No one is blaming the institution, but the complaint is made that the physt- clans are not smoothing the road of the newly appointed town physician any more than they can help.
 The latest report is that the medical society held meeting some time Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and appointed a committee consisting of pr. F. E.. Guild, Dr. L. l. Mason and Dr. c. E. Simonds to investigate the matter of contract work by the members of the society. This report has not been authoritatively confirm ed by the doctors, although Dr. L. I. Mason, when questioned Wednesday, did not deny the story. He said: We feel that this is a matter of private business, which is not of public con- cern, and cannot, of course, say any thing

 The opening of the rooms of the So- cial club at Williamsville has been de- ferred until Easter Monday night. It was expected that the opening would take place before that time, but de- velopments have been such as to cause a change in plans.
 Think Six Saloons Enough.
 If the bill pending in the legislature providing that there shall be only one saloon for each 1000 of the popu- lation of any town is passed, Killingly will be entitled to only six licensed places instead of the thirteen, as dur ing the last license year. There are many license men in this town who agree that six places are ample to meet all legitimate needs in license years and they won't be at all sorry if the bill becomes a law. Only 10 licenses were granted here last year.
