 Postmaster Murphy calls the atten- ton of the patrons to the necessity of explaining to the clerks the contents of the parcel post packa ges, as to whether they arc frigtse or perishable, as such articles are placed in special sacks and labelled accordingly. All packages should be insured if only for the smallest amount, which Is three cent fee. This makes them a matter of record and as in many cases pack ages are recived at their destination and no acknowledgement made and some of the senders are at a loss to know if they were delivered. By being insured such information can be ob- tained from the department as re- ceipts are taken for them. Particularly does this apply to goods returned to business houses, as in many cases they do not credit them.

This association has q membership of 200 live anG energetic members who have decided that this show will come up to the standard and probably surpass a number of the larger shows in number and quality of specimens that will be shown.
 It has been decided to hold the show in Odd Fellows hall in Groton, Novem- her 22, 23. 24, 25, 1916. When the de- cision was reached to hold the show in GrGton the merchants at onee do- mated fifteen cups, and there will be several other cups that were given by the merchants and others, not only in New London, but elsewhere.

As a special feature tue management has secured the Storra College Poultry Judging Team to hold a contest on Friday afternoon, No- vember "A, and in all probability there will be a large attendance on hand to get a lot of first hand information.

American labor. and the fruit of their labor will be placed upon the Ameri- can market at prices which will close American mills and fill our cities with idle men and women. This will be the fruit of a democratic administration A as surely as that party is continued in power.
 The republican party appeals to the intilligence Of the masses. It cites with pride it's achievements in the past and looks with confidence to the future. It represents Americanism in it's every aspect. It stands for civilization that will wipe out class distictions, digni- fly labor, create nation of homes, ben eft all classes and cause prosperity to exist evety where. It Is pledged to this purpose, it's past is it's promise for the future! It rests with the individual citizens of the nation to determine to which party their confidence shall bt given and upon them rests the respon sibility for the future.

ENTHUSIASM AT
 REPUBLICAN RALLY
(Continued from Page Five)

when conditions are normal, with the setting of the sun, there is paid in wages to intelligent, industrious, law abiding New England men more than 2,333, 900 in wages. That this money finds it's way into every avenue of produced has revolutionzed the agri- cultural as well as the other business interests of New England.
 It is not only a matter Of pride but one of great significance in our busi- ness life that the mills of New Eng land now turn. out annually products valued at $2,669,8 9,8S8,0o0. These figures fail to express, I fear, the marvellous fact that this small area, constituting only per cent. of the territory of continental United States, produces 12 1-2 per cent. of all the rnanufac- tured goods of the entire nation. Aside from the water powers employed, New England expends $50, ,0o0, GOO annually for coal used in her industries, an ex- penditure which in eight years equals the cost of the Panama canal.
 Great Increase in Population.
 With this growth in industries there has been a corresponding growth in our New England population, which is now nine-tenths as great as the entire population of Canada from ocean to ocean. What does this mean to the New England farmer? Where in our country Is the product of an acre of land worth most to it sowner? Is it in the great and fertile west? No, 1t is where the farmer has a near by market to the demands of which he can suit his products. The state in which the product of an acre brings the largest reward to its owner is New Jersey. which is surrounded and filled with populoas industrial com munities. Rhode Island ranks next, then Massachusetts,, and Connecticut follows. Vermont, I believe, ranks 18th, but even there the value of her farms and buildings has increased in the last 10 census years about 40 per cent.
 All this has come under republican administrat tions and under the appIi- cation of tn eprinciple of protection to Americans and American industries stand here tonight as republican who has no apologies to make to New England. l voted for tue Payne

Jump from Bed
 in Morning and
 Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink hot water each morning
 before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous. Respondent, worried; some days headachy. dull and unstrung; some days really incapaci- tated by illness.
 If we all would practice ir,ssde- bathing, what @ gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou sands of half-sick. anaemic- looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people every where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates un- der our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out else it ferments and forms ptomaine- like poisons which are absorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as 1t is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are ad- vised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with teaspoonfu1 of limestone phos- phate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels the indigestible material waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening and puri- flying the entire alimentary canal be- fore putting more food into the stom- ach.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-b bath A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to any one its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

GRATEFUL PRAISE FOR

Writing from Rock Island. Illinois, grateful mother says: T miss Father Johns Medicine when I am out of it more than anything else from my medicine chest. I have it on hand summer and winter.

dressed by Burton L.. French, candi-
date for Congress, and Geo. r. Barker,
Secretary of State, was well repre-
scented by the voters of the tract con-
sidering less than "a hours notice was
given of the meeting.
Mr.. Barker produced the records to
disprove the claims made by Governor
Alexander as to any saving in the
state taxes, and it is false economy to
carry over an indebtedness of $500, ZOO
that will have to be paid, and call it
saving. Mr.. Barker received hearty
applause after his speech. Mr.. French
dweIt largely with the wabbling condi-
ton of the present national admins
tration and its policy in Mexico, which
has demanded the lives of so many in
nocent men and women and the Mexi-
cans hate of Americans. Mr.. French
was heartily applauded during his
speech and at the finish.
