and they say that the town never had more prosperity than if has now. The mills are runnlng better and the out lying plaoew all say that tt ls the best business proposition chat sprayue has ever done.
 Rev. W, D. cavert asked the ques- tion that If 1t was not necessary In some cases to have now city ocacials to enforce the law if a town did 10 dry, That in some places there are laws against gambling and it was not enforced. That some times . town gal places where liquor Is sold that people get disgusted and at the next election the town votes for license.
 Can Call State Police.
 In reply MT. Spooner said that there are Illegal places In license towns. And that the state police can always be called without expense to the town.
 Mir. Conant asked the question that wasn't person inconsistent who voted for no-license and then voted | for a man who stood for the saloon, And that was 1t not inconsistent TOT man to vote for no-licence and vote looms are allowed.
 Mrs. Gager spoke of the work the i local w. c. T. U. had accomplished by means of posters. Posters fol | SnIl6 past ana eSDGClallY DGIOre last election were placed in stores and conspicuous places.
 State Wide Temperance.
 At 3.30 o'clock Mir. Spooner spoke of the work of the statewide tenn. perence. He said one of the lines O. work was that among foreign people There is need of work in this direction Another side is the work in the legis lature. For three years we have haS a bill which would allow women tt vote on the license question. O course the saloons fought it. Tn suffragists did not want it as the, wanted to vote on all matters and tn anti-suffra gists did not want 1t at all The w. c. T. U. has always stood fo it and worked for 1t. We are goinI to crinE 1t ID again
 Another problem Is the farm fo drunlards. We have two thousan old buns and rounders in this stat who are drunk three fourths of tn time when outside of jail. We sen them to jail and they come out wors than when they went in. The Wind ham County jail has the right idea an makes them work They have n soft snap there. as in some jail where all they have to do is eat an | sleep.
 Then there is the educational prot lem in factories and shops. to kee the men in the shops from the sa loon.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET FLuCTUATED.
Irregular at Outset, But Closed Mostly
 at Net Gains.

New York, Dec. 5.-Monetary condi- tions in thelr relation to the stock market were again a factor of primary importance today, although superseded for a time by the interest which at tached to the presidents message to congress. Prices were irregular al the outset, moderately unsettled during the mid-session, and closed mostly al net gains.
 Call loans did not rise above 16 per cent. and fell as low as 6. but money was not especially free until most pressing needs had been met. Specu- lative shares suffered severe pairing down at the hands of lenders where such issues were offered as collateral
 Another significant feature resulting pronounced falling off in trading, transactions barely aggregating 950,- 900 shares. This is the first full. ses- sion in several weeks in which the total has not exceeded one million shares by liberal margin.
 Price movements were accompanied by a mixture of advances and declines. Low grade rails were again in high favor, especially the new and cid is sues of Wheeling and Lake Erie, at gains of one to over three points with as much or more for Toledo, St. Louis and Western and Chicago and Alton, while Lake Erie and N-esternss, Wis consin Central, Texas and Pacific and Western Maryland averaged one point gains.
 Bonds were irregular, with further concessions in internationals. Total sales, par value, were S4,925, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

Discussed Important Questions ReIa-
 tive to Breeding.

New York. Dec. 5.-How to make more popular the breeding of trotting horses was one of the important ques- tions considered today by the board of review of the National Trotting Association in a special congress here. The association has learned that off, cials of fair associations are consid- ering the substitution of automobile racing for trotting events and, it is said, recognizes that horse racing must be made more popular to the breeder.
 A Suggestion of Joseph M McGrew of Arden, Pa.. that breeders be paid B small percentage of the purses, per haps a half of one per cent, was con- sidefed without action.
 About seventy-f1ve complaints, dis putes or infractions of rules were be- fore the board. Because of failure to pay purses at the Hampden county fair at HolyoSe. Mass, three officers of the fair. T. J. Shinkwin. president; S. Ducharme, treasurer, and D. H. Young, secretary. were suspended un- til the purses were paid.
 The suspension of A. T. Smith of Fully, N. Y, until he returned the money won by the pacer Albia, racing Trumansburg, N. Y. last year, was an- nounced. The horse was expelled It was stated that A1bia was raced this year by Peter Herdic of Canton, Pa., at meets III fOChN1ll0 anu DdnpuFy, Conn.,, and at Sturbridge, Mass. Her die was suspended, pending the return of the purses won. Both men pleaded ignorance of the facts
 M. R. West of Wellsburg, w Va, and Harry Thompson of Collier, w. Va, were expelled, together with the pacer, Dick w. which it was charged was raced in Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia and Ohio under the alias of Bal moral.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
 NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder dis ease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, and may be de- spondent and irritable.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians prescription, obtained at any drug store, restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy needed to over come such conditions.
 Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to pr. Kilner & Co.,. Birghamton. N. Y, for sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the Norwich Daily Bulletin.

CARPENTER TO MEET WILLARD
Tex Rckard Arranging Fight for Benefit of French War Re lief Fund-Both Fighters Willing Jess Fails to Sign Agreements Les Darcy Will be Substituted.

New York, Dec. 5-Tentative ar engagements for the appearance of Georges Carpenter, the French heavy weight champion in a local boxing arena for the benefit of a French war relief fund, are expected to be com pleted within the next AS hours. Tex Rickard, who is endeavoring to. stage the bout, plans to pit the famous. pug ilistic idol against Jess Willard or Les Darcy of Australia in a ten round mo- decision bout at Madison Square Garden late in February, unless there Is an eleventh hour upset of his plans.
 Both Fighters Willing.
 Both Carpenter and Willard have given their verbal consent; to the pro posals of the promoter, who has con- ducted his negotiations with the French champion through members of the American fund for French wounded, one of the many allied war relief or ganizations in this country. It 1was necessary to obtain the assistance of this association if Carpenter was to get a furlough from the Frecnh army, with which he has been fighting since the beginning of the European war.
 It is understood by those interested in the proposed contest that the French army authorities have argeed to give Carpenter the desired leave of absence in view of the fact that the boxer has expressed complete willing ness ot donate his share of the purse to the relief fund. z',
 Contracts between ,Carpentier, the officers of the American Fund for French wounded and Promoter Rick ard have been drawn up in triplicate and one of these is thought to have ar rived in Paris today for the signature of the French pugilist. The contract, which stipulated that Carpenter shall meet any white boxer selected by Rickard, calls for the payment of $25,o 900 to the American Fund for French Wounded; $20,000 to Carpen- tier in addition of $1 1000 for his travel ing expenses and a like amount for his share of the moving picture receipts.

Senator Owen, who made the motion said he would press the bill at every possible opportunity unGl it's passage
 The Oklahoma senator referred to promises of cooperation given by re- pubIca< senators just before adjourn ment last September, when a futile effort was made to pass the bill. He called upon these senators to make good their words, declaring that mo republican can permit a condition to endure which permits the highest leg islatiVe and executive powers of the people to be controlled by the sordid use of money on a large scale"

Champions of corrupt practices measures said the main purpose in pushing this amend ment was to assure an opportunity for voting on the Owen bill before ad- iournment next March.
 Senator Owen had ready today but did not introduce his resolution to provide for investigation of the use of money and attempts to influence the result of the November elections
