NIANTIC BRIDGE MATTER POSTPONED
Committee of Three Appointed to Confer Wh County Com missiOner Regarding the Construction of the Bridse Hoped That State Will Make Appropriation for Con strucion and Maintenance of Bridge.
@~2

a bridge, will the state come to it's assistance and pay part of the ex- pense2 Perhaps 1t would be better to vote the proposition down and then go to the general assembly and ask for the full amount of the cost
 It was pointed out by Representative CroRin that the state has shown a liberal attitude in paying s2,00O a year to the county for maintenance of the bridge, and he did not believe the state would leave the county in the lurch in paying for a. new bridge.
 Chairman WhTbon asked the county commissioners for a financial state ment of<the county.
 Replying, Commissioner Smith said the county was $S7,000 in debt and expenses for the year. as the expenses exceeded the income. The county would have to borrow 5000 to carry 1t along. He thought a tax of l 1-4 mills would meet the cost of the bridge. This would mean that Norwich and New London would have to stand about $S0,000 each.
 Senator Barnes of this city express ed it as his opinion that if the legisla- ture saw fit to appropriate money to would not object so long as the work was started.
 A motion was made by Senator Hew- it to,postpone the matter and refer to the next general assembly. The chair thought this was out of order and then the senator amended his motion to indefinitely postpone.
 The motion to indefinitely postpone was carried, IT to 6.
 A question was. raised by Repre- sentative Cronin as to whether this motion would place the county or record as opposed to the construction A n1otfon was made bv Senate, Hewitt that the chair appoint a com. mittee of three to bring the matter before the next legislature and insis upon immediate action. This wa; voted. It was also voted that the com mittee confer WiGh the county com missioners and that plans for a bridg, in both the old and new location b, considered.
 1 The report of Commissioner Smitl showed that $182 had been expendei for soundings and that the commis sioners could not say what other ex penses had been contracted.
 Senator Barnes moved that the coun | ty commissioners be authorized to pa, all bills contracted in connection wit the bridge matter.
 A discussion ensued and at the clos 1t was voted that tGle three count and L. E. Whiton, be members of tn committee to present the matter il conjunction with the county commis
 sioners to the next general assembly It was further voted to authorize tn county commissioners to borrow S5, ,00t 1t being explained that only so muc
 of the amount as might be necessar
 would be used.
 l The final vote taken was that tn clerk inform the war department c
 the action taken, and the meeting ad

CALOMEL DYNAN|TES
 A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and You Lose Days
 Work.

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile 1t crashes into it. causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous caiomel. Take spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you will be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it. Adv.

Reckless Driyinu.

To the Editor of the Star:
 Many thoughtless people make mistakes in driving along country roads, and city streets-often yio- lating the statutes or laws in so do- ing. At almost every session of our Circuit court we hear the learned Judge tell our juries that ignorance Of law is no excuse at all. and vi- Olat0rs must be punished.
 As 1 understand it, the law ex- pressly states that vehicles in meet ing one another, whether on city streets of country roads, must pass each other on the right side-that is. each turn to the right. Again the law says in all vehicles pass ing another going in the same di- rectiOn, must pass to the left. mean ing to the left of the vehicle being passed Many drivers violate the law. by failing to comply with it's provisions-if ignorantly. it is none the less a violation, and Ill case of damage occurring, the violator must pay the cost. The law says expressly that vehicles i'll passing one another must divide the road way equally-that is, each give one half the roadway. Many refuse or fail to comply with this fair and just law.
 So it appears that people violate our road laws, as to drivin-. either from ignorance. or else thru reck- lessness. In either event is is re- prehensible, and those who so act should amend their ways, before evil and injurious results come from it.
 Another thing, there is common sense rule of courtesy, that should be duly exercised by all who use our streets. or country roads. When passing any vehicle extra care and caution should be exercised by driv- CTS. and the speed of all vehicles slowed down to reason. It is to be hoped our people will more care- fully follow our laws in use of the streets and country roads, and also exercise due courtesy.

morning. 1t Is very easy to turn over and fall asleep again. Upon a second awakening, the mind is more or less dull and stupid. So it is with those who fall asleep after having been awakened to realization of higher and nobler things. They may be wakened second time; but if so, the perceptions are likely to be less acute the conscience less sensitive.
 One who has awaked and begun to rise Is in the attitude of soul to re- ceive the light of Heaven. Christ shall give thee light" Light is sown for the righteous. and gladness for the upright in heart" (Psalm 97:11.) Those in this attitude are approaching this condition The dead are represented as prostrate. The act of rising is in dicative of a change of attitude. The awakened one should at once seek to know what to do. He should begin to study Gods Word There he learns that Christ is the Way to God.
 The soul must lay hold upon Jesus by acceptance of the merit of His sacrihcial death and by a complete surrender to God through Christ as the great Advocate When he has taken this step, the light will begin to dawn upon him. Increasing light Is his DOT tion: for each step of obedience brings greater knowledge
 The worlds judgment is future, not far off now, according to the proph ecies of Gods Word; but the Chris tian's judgment begins from the mo ment when he enters the Church of Christ. He Is now on probation for eternal life. He has entered the School of Christ. to be perfected in character. made a copy of Gods dear Son (Romans s:29) Thus he is being prepared for the future Kingdom work-that of instructing, uplifting blessing. the whole world of mankind who died in Adam. but who are to be awakened and dealt with during the incoming Dispensation.
 No sleepy Christian will have a place in the Messianic Kingdom. God will have only those who are sober wide awake watching unto prayer. keeping close to the Fountain of cleansing go ing often to the Throne of Grace. claim. ing the efficacy of the precious blood of Christ.
