{ toy shop in a wrecked French town
! ! remember in India in a cholera
camp, where the men were suffering
very badly, the band Of the Tenth
lIincOlnS started a regimental sing
song and went on with that queer,
defiant tune, The Lincolnshire PoaCh.
err 1t was their regimental march
that the men had heard a thousand
times. There was nothing in it -
nothing except all England, all the
East Coast, all the fun and daring
and horseplay Of young men bucket
ing about Big pastures in the moon
light. But it was given very softly
at the bad time in that terrible camp
of death; 1t was the one thing in the
world that could have restored as 1t
did restore shaken men back to their
pride, humOr and self-cOntrOl. This
may be an extreme instance, but/it is
not an exceptional one. Any man who
has had anything to do with the ser
vice will tell you that the battalion
is better for music at every turn. hap
pier, more easily handled, with great
er zest in its daily routine, if that
routine is sweetened with melody and
for the mind and
rhythm for the body.
"Our new armies have been badly
served in this essential. OF all the
admirable qualities which they have
shown none is Imore wonderful than
the spirit which has carried them
through the labOrious and distasteful
groundwork of their calling without
one note of music, except that which
the same indomitable spirit provided
out of. their own heads. We have
all seen them marching through the
country, through the streets of Lon.
don in absolute silence and the crowds
through which 6they passed as silent
as themselves for the lack of the one
medium that could convey and glorify
the thoughts that are in us all today.
I'VE are .tongue-tied brood at the
best The bands can declare on our
behalf without shame and without
shyness something of what we all feel
and help US to reach a hand toward
the men who have risen up to save
u.s. In the beginning the more urg-
ent requirements of the new armies
OVERRIDE all other essentials.
THE war Office has authorized the
formation of bands for some of the
London battalions, and we may hope
presently to see the permission eX-
tended throughout Great Britain. We
must now, however, cherish unbr1di-
ed musical ambitions, because full
band means more than forty pieces.
and on that establishment we should
even now require rather large num-
Der of men, but | think it might be
possible t" provide drums and flies
for every battalion, full bands at the
depots, and a proportion of battalion
bands on half, or even onc-third, cstab-
lishments."

or Il pounds of healthy stay there
fat should try eating a little SaTgol
with their meals for while and note
results Here is a good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself Then take Sar-
gol-one tablet with every meal
for two weeks. Then weigh
yourself again. 1t isn't a question Of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. The scale and
tape measure will tell their own
story, and most any thin man or wom-
an can easily add from five to eight
pounds in the first fourteen days BY
following this simple direction. And
best Of all, the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats, sugars and starChes Of Whit

producing nourishment for the tissues
and blOOd-prepares it in An easily
essimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste

Krupp engineers have designed a
l6-inch gun which fires proiectlIe
weighing OOPS pounds against the

of the German or British vessels OF

These weapons throw projectiles
weighing 400 pounds as is the case
with the 14-inch guns designed for
the four Japanese battleships yestimat'

With the increase in size. the life
Of the gun Is shortened by erosion,
due to the heat generated by the ex-
plosion of the huge charge Of powder
necessary to hurl nearly a ton OF
metal fifteen miles, that is said to be
the range of the American 16-inch
weapon. The rifiing of the gun burns
out under the blast Drops Of melted
steel are visible in the bore after each
shot and it is said that the life OF
the Queen Elizabeth's 1j-inch 4weap-
ons is less than 100 shots each. After
that the gun is so inaccurate as to
be virtually useless.

ADDRESS BEFORE MEN
 OF CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH.
pr. p. H. j. Lerriao Speaks to Teams
 in Every Member Canvass.


 In anticipation of the every member canvass to be carried out on Sunday by seventy men of the church there was q. supper on Friday evening in Bush nell chapel at the Central Baptist church at which time those who are to participate in the canvass were present and an address was made by Dr. P. H. J. Lerrigo of Boston. who is the New England district secretary for the Home Baptist Visionary, the For eign Missionary and the Educational society.
 At the conclusion of the supper which was served at SIS o'clock by the ladies of tine church Edward Y. Mesinger who has general direction of the canvass briefly explained something of the plan by which the seven teams of ten men each are to visit the entire resi- dent membership of the church on Sunday afternoon. The membership list has been portioned out so that each pair of CanVaSSerS has a few names to call upon out of the 520 resi- dent members Of the church. The men will start out by twos after 8 short meeting at the church at 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon, and every person called upon will be asked to become a con tribUtor to the church benovelences. Reports by the seven captains will be made to, MT MeSsinger before the day IS over. The captains of the teams are Prank L. Arnold, C. C. Treat. Fred L. Newton, J. Palmer Post, c. Edward Smith, N. Eugene Smith and James L. Case.
 Rev. Dr. J. B. S1ocum, the pastor in troduced the speaker, who has been q medical missionary in Alaska. and in the Philippines.
 He gave a stirring talk along mis- Sionary lines, stating three fundamen- tai propositions upon which he said he considered the missionary proposi- ton rests. The first was that this old world in which we live is desperately in need of Jesus Christ, the second that the peoples of the world are well worth saving and the third that God is able to take very inadequate means and do wonderful things in his service. He illustrated each point with instances from his experiences in the missionary field.
 The results of an very-member can vass he said would be commensurate with the energy, enthusiasm and con secration that was put into it and he gave examples of what had been done in such an effort in a number of New England churches.

JURY FINDS MORGAN NOT GUILTY
On Both Counts Brought Against HmHad the Case Under
 Consideration 90 Minutes-The New London Attorney
 Much Moved as He Hears the Verdict Given.

Tanner made his argument for the de- about an hour and he was followed by States Attorney Hull who. occupied the. same time in the final argument for the state.
 Judge Greene gave a very complete review. Of the evidence in his charge to the Jury which occupied 50 minutes. He made it plain to them that they were called to render a verdict upon both counts and that this should be made upon the evidence and not with the sentence in view as the sentence would be determined by the court. .
 The jury took. the case at 2:20 and was cIoseted in the jury room until $40 when they rapped to give notice that they were ready to come out.
 Judge Greene had left the building about S:15 and had not returned by the time the jury was. ready to report, but word was sent to him and the jury was kept in the jury room until he could get back to take his seat which was at 3:55. Then they were brought in and their verdict was giv- en. Those. on the jury were: Robert Stott, Norwich; Walter H. Lee, North Stonington; James NJ. Huntington Franklin; Benjamin $.

Attorney G. Curtis Morgan of New London who has been on trial in the superior court here since Monday on charges of adultery and indecent as- sault upon Mrs. Myrtle Blake Bailey, also of New London, was found not guilty on both counts by the jury on Friday afternoon The verdict was re- turned after the jury had the case in it's hands for an hour and 3. half. Robert Stott of Norwich was the fore man who announced the verdict, an- swering Not Guilty each time as Clerk George E. Parsons inquired what was the verdict upon each count separately.
 Attorney Morgan received the yer dict with signs of emotion, sinking in= to his seat as he heard the answer to the second count given, his chin quiv- ering as he controlled himself with great difficulty. Ills counsel, Abel P. Tanner and Allyn L. Brown, hur- ried from their seats at the first op- portunity to congratulate him and he was also warmly congratulated by many in the court room.
 Judge Greene gave the jury to understand that they were not re- quired to attend any further at this term of the court and at the sugges- ton of States Attorney Hull, the court was adjourned until Saturday at noon. When court came in at 10 o'clock on Friday morning Attorney Abel P.
