ANNOUNCEMENTS
AT THE AUDITORIUM.
A Great Opera Told in Pictures-Ger-
 aIdine Farrar in Carmen.

Geraldine Farrar, the celebrated prima donna of the Metropolitan Op- era company, will make her debut to photo-dramatic audiences in film version of her most famous opera, Car men-produced under the personal d1- rection of Cecil B. de Mile, for the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play company.
 The version of Carmen used in this Paramount picture is founded on the story by Prosper Merimee, and shows Carmen as a half wild. fascinating Creature-a gypsy by birth-and living with a band of smugglers in the noun tains near the coast of Spain. The smugglers are fOiled in their attempt to get their illegal goods into the little town by Don Jose, an officer in the regiment stationed there. Carmen is sent by Pastia, the leader of the snugglers and the local tavern keeper, to fascinate Don Jose and make him forget his duties and give the snug glers an opportunity to bring their goods into the city.
 Carmen secures work in tobacco factory near the city wall, to account for her presence near Don Jose, and it is also announced that she will dance at the tavern in the evenings. The night Carmen dances in the tavern she is the center of attraction. Don Jose, after Carmen's wild, senSuous dance, loses his heart to her. and that night when she passes by the breach in the wall where he is on guard he follows her off while the smugglers enter the city.
 This great photoplay masterpiece will be shown at the Auditorium thea tre next Monday, Tuesday and We'd nesday, March 13, 14 and 15.

NORWICH TOWN
Rev. William M. Zun1bro Speaks at Methodist Church - Conditions in India Described-Donohue House Being RemodeIed-Ash Wednesday Services

Rev. William M. Zumbro gave a most Interesting address on India Sunday evening at the First Methodist church. An idea of the number of people, the languages spoken, was given. There winter is wholly unknown, he said; the mercury never registers lower than 65 degrees above zero. In January and February is the loveIiest time of year; fresh green grass after the rainy season in December, flowers and birds. Now are the sultry days, soon will come the parched season. There will be cloudless days for months. We have the banyan, mango, plantain, custard-apple and cocoanut trees. There the tiger is not caged and the elephant roams wild, sometimes in herds. Quite common are vipers and cObras.
 As one lands by means of small boats, one wonders at the language, at the people. We have rice and curry for food, no meat. The natives dis pense with plate, knives and forks. Civilization brings many duties which may not after all be necessary to hap5 piness. No Indian boy can hope to become the ruler of his country. The caste in which he is born is the same be Q boy in India. At his birth there IS a feast of rice and curry to which friends are invited. If a girl is born, "Ohi it's only 6 grill" they say, and no celebration is made. In India one boy out of p can read, not one girl in 100 can read.
 All streets in the city lead to the wonderful temple of Madura, situated in the center of the city on a slight elevation covering 14 acres of ground, with it's towers which can be seen for miles around. MT. Zumbro gave a minute and realistic description of what can be seen in this temple and its worship.
 The old India Is passing, caste re- strictions are slowly passing, never to return. The attitude toward woman Is changing for the better. The nun Der of gods is still innumerable; In their craving for God the people wor- ship this and that and the other, seek ing for the true worship. The educat- ed are learning to worship one god The Christian community is increas- ing. There Is a mass movement in missions. Last year there were 10,0 GOO converts in the Lucknow region. All over India there is an awakening in the villages. Many are begging fo1 teachers. The hardest thing a mis- sionary has to do is to refuse these chances for new work. A little money over there does so much good, goes SC far. Four dollars a month would put a man into a village where there was no religious teacher or school, and make life different for the people, give them new ideals. Is the church al home really in earnest or only playing at missions?

CATARRH GERMS
 EASILY KILLED
By Breathing Into Throat, Nose and
 Lunus a Pure Antiseptic Air.

If you have catarrh and want to get rid of 1t, you must XIII the germs which cause the disease.
 The best known way of destroying catarrh germs is to breathe into the air passages of your nose and throat and lungs the pleasant. penetrating air of Hyomei (pronounced Hlgh-o-me). Hyo- mel Is made from purest oil of Eucalyp- tus combined with other powerful. heal ing, antiseptic and germicidal ingredi- ents. You breathe 1t through little pocket inhaler which Lee & Osgood and other leading druggists in Norwich and vicinity are furnishing with every com plete treatment sold. Every time you inhale the sweet, fragrant air of Hyo- mel through this little device you are drawing. into your swollen. infiamed. germ laden membranes a medtcated air which will not only reduce all the swelling and Inflammation and open your clogged nose and stopped-up air passages. but will absolutely and posi- lively destroy every trace of catarrh germ life it reaches. Druggists are so sure of the blessed. lasting relief that Hyomei brings to catarrh sufferers that they sell it invariably on the positive guarantee that money paid will be re- funded If successful results are not secured from its use.

How To Break Up A Bad Cough

The following prescription is now being widely used in New England for breaking up severe coughs and colds, catarrh, bronchitis, and thereby pre- venting grippe. pneumonia or other se- rious and permanent lung trouble.
 Get from your druggist a large bottle of Oxtdaze (containing ninety tablets) and every two hours allow one of the tablets to slowly melt in your mouth so that it's powerful healing juices, mixing with the saliva. will reach and heal the inf1amed membranes, clear the throat of all dangerous germ life, loosen a dry hoarse or tight cough and by. stopping the formation of phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes quickly end the persistent, hang on," loose cough. Many a serious, possibly fatal. case of lung trouble Or pneumonia can be pre- vented by the simple use of Oxidaze in this way. And, as the tablets are pleasant and easy to take are not at all expensive, contain no harmful or habit-forming drugs. and as Lee & Os- good and other leading druggists ev- erywhere sell them on a positive guar antee that they will stop a cough or money back no one who has a cough or cold can lose by giving them a fair trial. Be sure to insist on Oxidaze and take nothing in its place. A single package taken now may easily save many dollars in doctors bill in future
