Hello Bills, about 800 strong, from
! far and near, made merry at the an
nual cIambake and outing of Norwich
Lodge, No. 43O, B. P. o. E., at Lin
| coin Park Thursday. Included in the
attendance were Elks from all over
eastern Connecticut, Boston, Provi-
dence and other places. The consen-
sus Of opinion was that this year s
bake was the best ever pulled off, due
to the untiring efforts of the commit
tee in charge which comprised the
following: James Hayes, chairman;
John Heath, Joseph P. Cummings,
Warren Chapman, Joseph F. Williams
and John Combies.
Shortly before noon the Antlers be-
gan to congregate at the park, some
coming by cars, others by automobile
and between IL and o'clock Chef
George Park served a clam chOwder
with all the fixings. Throughout the
entire day the F1ks CIambake band, 16
pieces strong, played all the popular
airs of the day and they figured in
preparedness parade led by John
Heath, who carried an appropriate
banner.
Probably one of the most amusing
events on the sport program was the
rooster race which was won by Be [
Caron after a hard chase and a ST. ak
in the event when the rooster flew in
to the bushes and while Perry was
trying to get it out it flew out of its
own accord right into Caron's arms.

WORKED AT BULLETIN CASE
BACK IN OLD TIMES.
Daniel L. Birmingham, Visiting Old
Scenes, Recalls Morning Lees Sur
render Came,

Daniel l.. birmingham, veteran print
er, who worked at the Bulletins cases
in the war days of ga and '65, was
back in the city for a while on
Thursday to see the old places and to
call on some friends. He found things
changed. The old Office where he
wOrked-the third floor of the Fay
building on Franklin square-had been
forsaken by editors and compositors.
The place had an illustrious history,
though. In Mr.. Burlingham's day,
TX Bromley was editor and Daniel
Tracy was in the composing room. Mr..
Birmingham has a vivid memory. he
said, of the morning the news of Lees
surrender came in over the wire. 1t
was a. m, closing up time to go
to press when the flash came The
printers pulled their coats and the
makeup man ran in the big story.
From the newspaper Office it spread
through the city. Before dawn in
Franklin square Joyful citizens had q
monster pile of boxes and barrels all
ablaze and in the midst of the jubiIa-
ton came the news that the old court
house on Jail Hill was on fire. The
younger element was responsible here,
they wanted a, new haII-and when the
fremen get there. the report was, that
they were received with libations-
and the court house burned to the
ground.
In 1858 Me Birmingham went west
to Minnesota, but he came back in
1905 and lived in Danielson until his
father died a few years back, and is
now in Pawtucket, r. L, where even
yet he hangs to the printers trade.

At few minutes past II o'clock
Thursday morning the body of Thomas
G. Hinchey, aged - years, who had
been missing since Wednesday after
noon, was found in the Shetucket
river just above the GreeneViIIc dam
by Officer John T Casey. The boy,
who is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
HinChey, Of Corona, L. l., came here a
little over a month ago to visit his
grandmother, Mrs. Ellen Hinchey, of
Oakridge street, and on Wednesday
afternoon expressed his intention of
going to MOhegan park lake to battle
The lad took his bathing suit and
started for the lake, as his grand
mother supposed.
The lad did not return at supper
time, and as he did nC5 show up later
in the evening the police were notified
and search began. The lake was first
visited, but no trace of the missing
boy could be found. Other places were
visited where the boy had been IN the
habit of going since his coming to
Norwich, but without result. The
search was continued throughout the
night and Thursday morning.
About II o'clock jeremiah Gleason
went up the Preston side of the She
tuCket river and at a place short
distance above the Greenevtlle dam he
found the clothes of the lad hanging
on tree near the river. Mr.. Gleason
notified the relatives of the discovery
Of the garments, and while he was
doing this word was received that the
BODY had been discovered in about nine
feet of water at a place near where
the clothes had been found. Police
man Casey, who had been searching
the river found the body some distance
from the shore, and Thomas Lord
swan out to it and brought it ashore.
Mr.. Gleason and Patrick Hinchey
went to the river and identified the
body. Medical Examiner C. c. Glider
sleeve was called and pronounced
death due to accidental drowning.
Cummings & Ring took charge Of the
body The muscles of the less and
arms were slightly fexed, showing
that drowning resulted from cramps.
The lad was an excellent swimmer
There were many bathers Wednesday
afternoon at the river, but none re
member having seen the lad. It i;
thought that he went to a place above
the customary swimming place and
was seized with cramps. The hoy
leaves, besides his parents, q sister,
Mary. The parents of the boy were
notified Of his death by telegraph.

DR.. WILLIAM L. MILLEA
DfScOURAGES TWILIGHT SLEEP
Resident Obstetrician at Johns Hop
kins Hospital is Cousin of Laurence
Millea.

John Hopkins hospital has practi-
caly set its stamp of diSapprOvaI on
the dammerschlaf or twilight sleep
method for use in childbirth
It abandoned its experiments in the
use of the method more than nine
months ago and the conclusion now
reached is that the method is too dan
gerOus; that the menace to the life of
the new child IS too grave to warrant
its use except under the most favor
able circumstances.
After more than a years use of the
twilight sleep drug, scopaIomin, the
Obstetricians found that it could be
safely used only under exceptional
conditions. The question Of proper
dosage proved so intricate that abso-
lUtely no chances can be taken.
The early results obtained We're such
that in the subsequent cases it was
necessary to have two highly expert
enced men always at the bedside of the
expectant mother as Well as several
nurses.
There was always the imminent
danger of the stranguIation Of the
baby, from the moment the scopalOuin
was given the woman, and as pointed
out by DR.. William L. AIillea, resident
obstetriCian, it was found necessary to
detail two skilled ObStetriCians to the
patient.
DR.. DLil1ea is a cousin Of Laurence
NIillea of this city and is well known
in Norwich. where he has visited his
relatives at various times. He is
graduate of Clark university in Wor-
cester and since his graduation from
the Johns Hopkins Medical school he
has been on the hospital staff, grad
ually perfecting himself in his chosen
speciality, that of obstetrics.
This, as in most of the cases, repre-
scented a vigil of from ten to seventeen
hours for the doctors and nurses and
a constant vigil as well. DR.. NIilIea
said;
ScopoIamin is far from the ideal
drug for child bearing. The attendant
dangers are so great that it can never
come into general use. The wealthy
may afford it, as the expense of having
skilled obstetricians always in call is
the smallest consideration.
But for the middle classes and poor
classes-the masses, in other words
it seems out Of the question; and it Is
among the masses that the greater
births occur.
1t is not a method that the average
practitioner can use. Our conclusions
show thata man should have at least
five years obstetrical hospital expert
ence before venturing 10 use scopola-
min. The average practitioner can
never hope to have this. Without this
accumulated skill the dangers of the
twilight sleep method are too great.

Indoor Life Makes Fat
TRY OIL OF KoREIN TO KEEP
WEIGHT DOWN, OR TO REDUCE
sUPERFLUOUs FAT.

People who are confined within doors
and who are deprived of fresh, invigor-
ating air and exercise must take pre-
caution to guard against over-stout-
ness, as fat acquired by indoor life is
unhealthy and a danger to the vital
organs of the body. Lack of exercise
in the fresh air is said to weaken the
oxygen carrying power of the blood, so
that 1t is unable to produce strong
muscles and vitality and the forma ton
of unsightly and unhealthy fat is the
result.
If you are 10 or 20 pounds above nor
mai weight you are daily drawing on
your reserve strength and are constant
~ lowering your vitality by carrying
this excess burden. ANY persons who
are satisfied in their own mind that
they are too stout are advised to go to
Lee & Osgood or any good druggist and
get box of oil of korein capsules and
take one after each meal and one just
before retiring at night
Even a rev days treatment has been
reported to show noticeable reduction
In weight, improved digestion and a re-
turn of the old energy; footsteps be-
come lighter and the skin less fabby
in appearance as superduous fat dis
appears.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot
injure, and helps the digestion. Any
person who wants to reduce Is or 20
pounds is advised to give this treat
m ent a trial.
