POLITICAL DOPE LACKING
 AT LEGISLATIVE REUNION Eastern Connecticut Pretty We'll ReP- resented at the Momaugin Gathering

At 1Iomauguin, only 300 members of past and present legislatures gath cred in reunion Wednesday, though more than 450 tickets were sold. The reason was that it was hay weather and the farmers stayed home, it was figured at New Haven. Take the members Oe the legislatures for seV- eTal years back, and remove from the list those who give their business as that Of farmer in the legislative man.
 uaI and there will not be very many legislators remaining.
 But those who did go represented every part of Connecticut and every one of the several candidates for the gOVernOrShip nomination were on deck. There was some discussion of pOli- tics as might be expected at such 8 gathering, but it was mostly all re- publican politics and the big repubi- cans there would say nary word which would give the lesser lights an idea how they stand on the contest for the nomination.
 And the lesser lights of the political game came home with no more in formation of the political outlook than they had when they went there. J. Henry RorabaCk, who, it was said, would not be there. was there, and he
 sat for most of the time with the friends and supporters of Major D. A. Blakeslee of this city, while John T. King of Bridgeport was present in the EeaIy camp. IL was all a deIlght- ful affair The only formal business
 done was the decision of the reunion
 to send greetings to legislators who have been called to NogaIes, Ariz., with the Connecticut troops, as fol- lows:
 To Major E, L. Isbeu and Associates, Second Connecticut Infantry,
 Camp Stephen Little. NogaIes, Ariz:
 Members of the general assembly of the session of 1915, and of former sessions, in reunion at Momauguin, send greetings to their legislative as- sociates who are doing their duty in military service of their country.
 Among those who went and aye and talked were Representatives Albert J. Bailey and Joseph H. Henderson of Norwich, Elisha Waterman and c. A. Perkins, Lebanon, Nelson Stark and B. N. Stark, Bozrah; Dan D. Home. Matt 4. Tinker, Dwight Kelsey, J. B. Austin. George H. Bradford, Willis

year old Colchester girl is now doing splendidly it was stated.
 pr. Brophy reported Thursday night that exclusion of all children under Is without health certificates was being carried out conscientiously by the health guards and the city situation was in every way encouraging. Never thelesS there remains serious prob lens to solve, and with the epidemic again showing a rise i'll New York city there will be need for the most rigid and concerted preventive meas 0res in the town sOf Eastern Connec- ttcut such as will be talked over at the conference this afternoon at four o'clock in Dr. Brophy's office in the Shannon building.
 The health officer received official notification Thursday morning from Senior Surgeon Charles B. Banks of the United States Public Health Ser vice that the federal authorities will cease to issue certificates of health to New Workers coming to this end of Connecticut. Dr. Bropfy said he agreed with the decision of the New York authorities, since with the meas- 0res in force here, the issuing of their certificates is only a waste of time. In the last ten days Dr. Brophy has re- ceiVed only one postal card from the Public Health service in New York and that was in the case of the child examined reached here before the health card.
 The Fitchville case was the only new one reported in Eastern Con- necticut Thursday.

Sylvia Abrams, two years and nine months old, a New York child on the Driscou farm at Fitchville was found i'll with infantile paralysis on Thurs day morning by pr: H. D. Higgins of this city, and after Health Officer Eli- jah J. Abel of BoZrah had been noti- fled, was brought to the Backus hospi- tai early Thursday afternoon in the hospital ambulance. The child had been sick since Sunday, but not un- til Thursday, when Dr. Higgins was called, were there any signs of par alysis.
 The child earlier in the week had fever and vomiting and on Monday it was brought down to the free dispen- sary of the Backus hospital to be ex- amined and then it showed no signs of polionyelitis. But in the last day the fever had abated and yesterday there was paralysis well marked in one leg and less marked in the other.
 While Health Officer Abel has been keeping the children of his town, who by this time number almost 300 in the various districts, in quarantine, the children within the restricted neigh borhoods have had abundant opportu- mites to nlingle and play with each other, and this is the case with the Abrams child. The child was brought by her parents from 83 lO7th street, New York city to this farm, which is on the road from Fitchville to Frank lin and is run by H. Laskovitz. The child was perfectly healthy at that time. and since that time has been playing with twenty children in the immediate neighborhood and 1t is a fair assumption that some of these have had a fair chance at exposure to infection. And within five or six rods of the house on the opposite side of the road Health Officer Abel was able to count seventeen more young chill dren on Thursday afternoon. MT. Abel will be present at the health confer ence in this city this afternoon and explain the situation and it's problems in detail to his conferes.

NORWICH BUSINESS
 COLLEGE
99 Main Street

An expert on advertising once said "A few cold facts, with a ring of truth ill them will have more effect upon an intelligent public than many pages of hot ail."
 The past and present record of the Norwich Business College is too well known among hundreds of successful business men who received their initial training in this school, to leave any doubt as to the success of our future students.
 Real business training by instructors who know what real business men require is the policy of the Norwich Bus. mess College. We value the respect of our students, and the public at large, too much to resort to undignifed methods of advertising in order to get business. The proprietor and principal of a school should be an example to his students.
