Hens Have Now Laid More Than
 100000 Eggs.

The hens in the egg contest at Storrs have now laid a grand total of more than 100000 eggs This mark was reached in the 33d week of the compe- tition, or at almost exactly the same time that this point was reached last year. The hens in the present contest are just a little more than half a day behind the record of a year ago. Ap- parently this discrepancy cannot last long. as all pens taken together laid 4,450 eggs in the 33d week, or a gain of nearly 200 as compared with the cor responding week last year.
 Albert T. Lenzen'S White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass, and four pens of White Leghorns entered by P. G. Piatt, Wallingford, Pa, Frank R. Han cock, Jacksonville, Vt, and Windsweep arm, Bedding Ridge, Conn.,, two pens, all tied for first place with 59 eggs each. Michigan Poultry arms Barred Rocks from Lansing won second hon ors for the week with a yield of 5s eggs. Eglantine Farms White Leg horns, from Greensboro, Md, were third with yield of 57, and four additional pens of White Leghorns, entered by Jay H. Ernisse. Webster, N. Y., eff ford l. Stoddard, Woodbridge. Conn.,, George H. Stannard. Ottawa, Kas., and Conyers Farm, Greenwich, Conn.,, all tied for fourth with 56 eggs each.
 Attention is again invited to the fact that the season for wedding out non producers is now at hand. Intelligent culling works a twofold advantage: it reduces the grain bill and at the same time has the effect of raising the av- craze yield per hen. During July there is no doubt but that in many .fiocks from to 10 per cent. of the birds can be culled without adversely affecting the egg yield. This means, of course, a little less money for grain, a little less labor, little more room in the houses during the summer, and yet the same number of eggs.

7riday's reports were as folIows:
s2769.4S SELLS s3,1eo.63

Norwich has always been found equal to any task undertaken. With this :n mind the chairman reports that the United States Finishing com pany has contributed S1,000 toward the fund.
 The Norwich Equal Franchise league contributed $565, and the treasurer of the last Fourth of July committee, ing from the big preparedness pa rade and celebration in this city turn ed over the balance which had been accommodating interest in a savings bank. fThe amount was S2o4. AS. It was felt by the committee which had charge of the money that the object was especially worthy of the money and without hesitation 1t was turned over to the Red Cross.
 Concerning the Red Cross Major General John J. Pershing says:
 T believe in the Red Cross, for l have observed 1t in operation. During the last week of last November I re- cefyed a letter from Washington headquarters, asking me to list the things that were needed by United States soldiers in Mexico.
 think I spent two or three days thinking up that list. I remember that I named tobacco, pipes. pocket knives, bandana handkerchiefs, needles and candy-not anything fancy, but the good. oldtime stick candy. Also jams and marma1ade. I prescribed lit tie Jars Of marmalade.
 Well, sir, do you know that my sug- gestions were adopted literally? Each man fin my command received a cofsl- fort bag from the Red Cross for Christmas, and each bag contained ex- actly the articles named in the list.
 'The men had more fun and they enjoyed it more and will remember it longer than any Christmas they ever had. Nobody can ever tell just what these presents from the Red Cross to them, and no one except those who were there and felt the spirit of the thing can appreciate it fully.
 Therefore I am for the Red Cross. I know it is capable of great good be- cause 1t accomplished great good in my command in Mexico. From the bottom of my heart the people will support it."
 And in a letter to the Red Cross headquarters in Washington he adds:
 It would be a difficult task to con vey to you the heartfelt appreciation of the officers and men of this com presents that are pouring in on every truck train. There will be ample and to spare for ali purposes. Each sta tion will get its share according to it's numbers.
 Everybody has felt the inspiration of your active interest and each camp is trying to out-do the others. Here at headquarters. we are having a. mammoth tree built up Of seven of the largest we could haul. The result will be a tree seventy feet high. We shall all assemble arourH this tree on Christmas and sing some carols and offer a prayer, and then distribute to each man his present from the Amer fcan Red Cross. It will be a happy command to know that the great heart of America is back there beating for us, and I shall be glad to have you convey to the splendid efficient organ ization the sincere thanks of every man man of US. It makes us mighty proud to serve a country that appreci- ates how much the soldier misses of home life and comforts.

SPINAL MENINGITIS
 AT CAMP DEWEY
Disease Was First Thought to be in-
 fantiIe Paralysis.

For the past few days there has been rumor about the city to the effect that there were two cases of infantile paralysis at Camp Dewey, Kitemaug. Having heard of the mat ter City Health Officer F. J. Brophy communicated with Dr. NJ. E. Fox of Montvflle and upon the latter's invi- tation Dr. Brophy visited the camp.
 It was found that upon diagnosing the cases by examina ton of the spinal fluid. according to the New London health authority, that the cases are not infantile paralysis The disease gitis.
 Dr. Fox placed strict quarantine on the camp which includes several cot rages occupied by Norwich people. No one will be allowed to occupy these cottages for the coming two weeks.
 The two cases are now in the Me morial hospital in New London. It is believed by the health authorities that with strict quarantine regula- tions there will be no cases outside q total of 160 boys who come from Texas where this disease . has been prevalent.
 The health officer desires that the public understand that there is no connection between infantile paralysis and cerebro- spinal meningitis as they are two separate and distinct diseases.
 Many people in this city have been more or less upset because two of the boys from Camp Dewey have been purchasing supplies here. taking them to the camp at Kitemaug- Investi-- gation. however shows that from the time of the first appearance of the ill., ness these boys have' been isolated from the main camp in order that they might be able to leave the grounds and not carry any inspection. This isolation will be continued as long as it Is thought necessary. Fur thernore orders have been issued to prohibit anyone in the camp from using the water from the well which supplies the cottages at Kitemaug
