HELP COMES QUICKLY
When Hyomei is Used For Head
 Colds, catarrh or Group.

When your head is all stuffed up. causing dull headaches, difficult breathing, constant shilling, and you feel generally miserable, there Is noth- ing quite equal to Hyomei to give quick, effective and lasting benefit yet perfectly harmless, simple to use, inexpensive, and easily obtained at any drug store.
 To get safe, rapid and certain relief from catarrh or a cold it is most inn portant that the medication goes di- rectly to the sore and infiamed tissue lining the breathing organs. That $ the Hyomeit method. Just put a few drops of antiseptic Hyomei in the in haler that comes with every complete outfit, and breathe ft-you will feel better at once. It clears the head, quickly relieves the tightness in the chest and that choked feeling-the dis agreeable nasal discharges and dull headaches cease-the sore spots are soothed and healed.
 So certain is the Lee and Osgood Go. of the curative powers of Hyomei for catarrh, asthma, and similar diseases affecting the nose and throat that they sell it on the No-cure-no- -pay'' plan.
 Hyomei is invaluable to mothers with croupy children. Surely read the special directions in every package for croup and children's colds.

50 YARDS FROM THE GE--. MANS
Julian Crozier Formerly of This City, Writes From the French Trenches the Firing Line-Admration for His Comrades Bravery and JolIity

To Norwich friends and to 8. larger circle who are following the fortunes of war with interest, letters and cards received recently in this city from some of the former French residents who left Norwich several months ago at their country's call, and are now serving under the cOlorS. convey in a far more vivid and personal way some of the meaning and horror of the great war. Sent as they are under a strict military censorship the com municationS are in a way non-com- initial, but nevertheless one reads be- tween the lines the dramatic tense ness of the situation.
 One of the most interesting of the letters is from Julien Crozier, corporal in the 14Oth French regiment, who sailed from Norwich on August 7th last and from the first saw active ser scured as part of the system of cen sorship, but Corporal Crozier. under date of Dec. T. wrote that he has been back again in the trenches, since Nov. 11th, and in this part of the big bat tie line operations were very slow at that time. He was full of admiration for the Frenchmen who had fought since the first day of the war, he wrote. and who had seen many of their friends killed Tby their side and still remained brave and jolly always ready for the attack. Their life was under ground in big trenches, but provided with every comfort, even American. They were not farther than 300 yards from the foreigners, and sometimes

ELks' vENIsoN SUPPER
 ATTENDED BY 200.
Capt. Danny MurPhy's Deer Made a Most PaIatable New Year's Eve
 

The New Years eve venison supper at the Elks home was an event enjoy = ed to the utmost by two hundred Elks from this and other cities, including New Haven, Willimantic. New London, Putnam. Pawtucket, R. l., Concord, N. H., many of whom got their first chance to taste the savory flesh. Capt Danny Murphy's two deer were in prime condition, prepared and served by Valentine Luppert, and with the toothSome VeniSon went an array of vegetables and celery that made a most satisfying menu. At the head table were seated the officers of Nor wich lodge, with Mayor T. c. Murphy and Capt. Danny Murphy in places of honor. The supper was set at o'clock and after the Elks' appetites had been satisfied Exalted Ruler William w. BeckWith expressed the thanks of the lodge and of the guests for the oppor- tunity they had just been enjoying, and Captain Murphy was cheered and applauded as he responded. Singers from the Davis and the Auditorium provided entertainment after their evening programme was over. The com : nllltce in charge was John H. Carney, Stephen J. Kehoe and Dennis J. Hayes. and their work was done to perfection.
 \ Soodl4 supply of the venison and the hXlns were sent over later on in the evening to The Bulletin and there was line spread in the composing room for the night workers at their lunch hour.

not 50, and then the distance was so short that they could speak with the Germans in regard to what was going on.
 From Andre Carlet. also in the trenches, somewhere on the battle line in the vicinity of AmienS, word has been received. but his card was writ ten with an eye to the censor and is even more -cornmittal. While in Norwich he was a lieutenant on the French reserve list and was given that rank on reaching France last sum mer. His regiment is the 103rd and so much had it's ranks been thinned before the shells of the Germans that he found himself fulfilling the duties of a captain.
 Jean Martin left Norwich last May and was married in France in June, but of him word has come to his friends in Norwich only through the other correspondents. He was first in Lyons, assigned to the duty of training cavalry, but later, when the supply of horses failed, he was sent to the front as interpreter for the troops from India. His responsible and likewise dangerous position is in dicated by the fact that his duty is to transmit the military orders between the officers of various natlonaltles among the allies.
 MT. Martin is a grandson of J. B. Martin. the founder of the J. E. Mar tin company plant at Taftvllle, and the other gentlemen were connected with that manufactory while in Nor wich and all have many friends here.

This quintet claims the championship of the central part of the state, and as the local boys have as yet to be beaten one of the scrappiest games of the season is expected Jackson, of Trinity college. whose playing made such a hit with the rooters last year. will play in his old position at guard for Taftville. The management also wishes to say that the unfortunate occurrence of Christmas afternoon when the scheduled Torrington team failed to appear is due to no fault of theirs, as the day before the game 8 letter was received, which stated they would be on hand. There was a good deal of talk about not patron izing the game any more, but the teams idea of a true fan remains unshaken, so they are willing to risk having the expensive Ben Hur team for opponents.
