Says Militia is Not Prepared.

Capt. David Connor, commanding the Tenth company, Connecticut Coast artillery corps, is amused at the statements of the officers of other companies of the corps that their commands could leave for Mexico if necessary in ten hours.
 "Tkey wouldn't be able to leave in ten years" Captain Conner said. unless some of our patriotic young heroes should suddenly decide to en- list. The regulations call for a conn pany having 65 men before leaving for service. Some of the companies have 65 on paper but couldn't muster anything like that number"

CORAL A GOOD TINT.
Seen in Many of the New Hats-Shoe- strinu Ribbon a NoveIty-chie Ideas for Smart Dressers.

Coral is one of the good shades this season. It is employed in the making of many handsome hats.
 A dove gray sailor seen at the open ings had its upper brim and side crown faced with coral satin. Its only trim ming, but a most effective one, was a gray dove.
 A similar tint of coral was notice able in the handsome poppies which trimmed a black hemp poke. In this case the poppies were combined with sprays of lilies of the valley. The re- mainder of the trimming was a black velvet knot and ends and fiat velvet bow at the back.
 The same favored hue of rose ap- peared in a smart continental model, the top being of rose on a coral shade, and the facing of black. Flowers set in the middle of the crown formed the finish.
 Another continental design, this time a high model in black, had an edge of hOrsehair and novel trimming in lac quered shoestring ribbon, with two jet pins giving natty finishing touch.
 Rose appeared in another instance on a black hemp turban, the trimming of which was a rose colored butterfly, bow, with a fruit ornament.
 A charming design for dressy wear was Leghorn sailor, it's top facing of pink and pale blue Georgette crepe. Fadeless roses and foliage formed a chic bouquet at the front.
 But all the pattern hats are not of gay colors. One very attractive model shown was a smart combination of black and white-a black hemp, having shirred half top facing of black and white ribbon, with trimming of realis- tic wheat ears in black and white.
 See all these pretty hats, and scores equally as charming, now while they are at their best.
 The miIliners who advertise with The Bulletin will be pleased to show you the very newest in headwear, trim mings, etc., today.

FISH SCARCE AND
 PRICES ARE HIGH.
Wholesale Dealers Find Difficulty in
 Filling Orders For Retail Markets.

The extreme scarcity of fish along the Atlantic coast is being felt to the extent that fish prices are higher and have been higher during the past six weeks than has been the case during the past 25 years.
 It is customary for New York wholesale dealers to send out circular quotations every week and in the last circular sent out the dealers would not quote on green goods, as the live fish are called, and the quotations on frozen fish are two, three, four and five cents more than has been the case on green goods during the past 25 years.
 Steak cod is selling for Is cents a pound and market cod at 15 cents. Bluefish brings 25 cents a pound. All these prices are so high as to send conservation into the ranks of the dealers.
 Lobsters in Boston are selling at 50 cents a pound wholesale and are ex- tremely hard to get even at this price.

ONE WEAK SPOT
Many Norwich People Have a Weak Part and Too Often lt's the
 Back.

Many people have a weak spot.
 Too often it's a bad back.
 Twinges follow every sudden twist
 Dull aching keeps up. day and night
 Backache is often from weak kid neys.
 In such case a kidney medicine is needed
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 For backache and urinary Ills.
 Norwich people recommend the rem edy.
 Mrs. Mary Nef. 4s5 Main St, Nor wich, says: For many years one of my family was subjected to attacks of kidney complaint. This one suf- fered from pains across the loins and at times could scarcely get about on account of a stiff and lame back. The kidney secretions were irregular in passage and often contained sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store. proved of benefit from the first and soon every symptom of kidney complaint disappeared"
 Price soc. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Neff recommends. Foster Mil- burn Co, Props. Buffalo. N. Y.

BLOCK ISLAND WANTS
 DAILY SERVICE.
Present Plan of Managing Steamer
 New Shoreham is Opposed.


 The advertised public hearing on the act to create a public property commission for Block Island. the principal business of which would be to manage steamer New Shoreham and the bathing beach. has attracted dorsed by Senator J. Eugene K Lit lefield. Representative Henry K Iittlefield of the same town opposes the act and declares that the town will suffer if it passes.
 Thursday a private hearing was given in the committee of judiciary of the senate on the bill, and both sides appeared. Friday the situation was explained to Governor Beeckman, SO that he would have an insight into the islands affairs if the bill comes to him for approval or veto.
 Steamer New Shoreham. Henry K Littlefeld says, was leased to the New Haven road for several years for nothing but a guarantee that 1t would run every day all the year round. He declared that the daily service was what th9 town wanted.
 After the boilers in the boat wore out" Mir. Littlefield says. "the New Haven didn't want it any more. We were offered only S12,000 if we wanted to sell the boat, which we didn't be- cause we wanted the daily service. Then Elmer Payne said he would take it. We leased it to him for noth- ing. That was good business. for he guaranteed to run it every day. and we had to have that service.
 Then, after we leased it to MT. Payne, he spent S11.0OO to put in new boilers. He had to borrow that money but he got it on his good name. Hc has paid some of it back. Now this bill. if passed. would take the boat | away from him, it looks to me. That wouldn't be fair to him. after he has spent that money to fix the boat UT | in first-class style. That Is the whole situation. Senator Littlefeld wants tC get the town to sell the boat. The ! rest of us don't"

NEW TREATMENT FOR
 SWOLLEN VEINS

Swollen veins are dangerous and often burst. Sufferers are advised to get a two-ounce, original bottle of Emerald Oil (full strengthl at any pharmacist and start to reduce the veins and punches at once.
 Physicians recommend Emerald Oil; 1t is used in hospital practice and a small bottle will last long time, be- cause it is very concentrated. Apply as directed until the swelling is re- duced to normal.
 It is so marvelously powerful that swollen glands, and even goitre disap. pear when used steadily.
 It can always be secured at Lee & Osgood's.
