undertaken to show the Pilgrim spirit of adventure by pushing great pro- gramme of advancement in what is in reality the legitimate work of the local churches.
 The direction of this programme is in the hands of a commission that was appointed by the National Cotin- cil of the Churches. The conference ferences held under the guidance of this commission of which more than 100 already- have been held.
 Reports were heard from various churches as to what they had done so far in >furthering the programme.
 The reports were followed by an address by Rev. Si1eroud Soule. secre- tary of tie Connecticut Missionary society. He made an inspiring ad- dress telling Of the possibility of the churches of the state doing alI they were asked to do and more. He dwelt on the history of Congregation al churches in the state calling at tention ten to the fact that of the named in Pilgrim Deeds and Duties'' 22 were from Connecticut For us 1t is our duty not only to take off our hats to the past but our coats to the future.
 Series of Charts Displayed.
 The afternoon session was a con- tinuation of the morning and was de- voted to the display of series of charts.
 One chart, 'Launching the Cam paign," was demonstrated by pr. Pattor. who emphasized the final statement that the success of it all depends or the push. patience and persistence of the pastor
 A second chart Pilgrim Princi- pies" set forth that the knowledge of the past should be set forth in terms of current thought. This should result in conception of democracy in the church which should make it no longer possible for the pastor or any one man or woman to be the whole thing in the church. Autocracy in the church should be abolished. In order to do this it is occasionally necessary that a church building should burn down.
 Pastors and representatives Of the Congregational churches in Stoning- ton, Mystic. New London, Hanover, Jewett City. Groton and other parts of New London county were present

WILL ADDRESS LOCAL MILK
 PRODUCERS, ASSOCIATION
Prof. Guy c. Smith to Speak on Co.,
 operative Buying.

Prof Guy c. Smith of the Connecti- cut Agricultural college will address the Norwich Milk Producers associa- ton at the city court room Friday af- ternoon at 1.30 o'clock on Co., operative Buying.
 A study of the prices of feeds pur- chased in the production of milk for the past three years shows that pres ent prices have increased from 45 to 65 per cent. The average for the past three years per ton in car lots of some of the feeds is shown below: Corn meal $31, cracked corn $S1 40, hominy $2s, gluten $30, cottonseed meal $33, mixed feed $29, bran $26.50, middlings $2S, oats (per bushel) 54 cents, corn (per busheD S1 cents.
 If the price of milk had increased in proportion to the cost of the grain which is necessary to produce it, milk would now be retailing in Norwich at 12 cents per quart. Neither has the price of milk kept up with its equiva- lent food value in other articles used for human consumption. Chemists tell us that one quart of milk is equal in food value to any one of the following foods: S-4 pound Of lean beef. eggs, 3 pounds of fresh scodf1sh, 2 pounds chicken, 4-5 pound pork loin, 3-5 pound ham, pint of oysters.
 Any price expended for milk buys Inc same food value that in averag time costs ZZ cents In the aDoVe nSt Milk also has a greater digestibility and a nearer perfect balance between its various ingredients. No other single food product is at once so nour4si1ing and digestible for both in- fants and adults.
 The Massachusetts state board of agriculture has recently issued a bull letin under the heading Use More Milk because: It is cheap; it is nutritious it is easily digestfble; it is the best food for babies (mothers' milk except ed); it should form the major portion of the child's diet up to school age; the average school child should con- sume at least two glasses per day; many adults would be benefited by the use of more milk and less meat; more cheapest nutrition of it's kind; proper nutrition conduces to efficiency and long lne-in other words, to good health.

HOW TO RELIEVE
 HEAD NOISES
GOOD ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO
 FEAR DEAFNESS.

People who are growing hard of hearing and who experience stuffy feefine of pressure against their ear drums, accompanied by buzzing, rum bling sounds in their head like water falling or steam eesca ping should take prompt and effective measures to stop this trouble. Head noises are almost invariably the forerunners Of complete or partial deafness, and most deaf people suffer from them constantly. Sometimes these head noises become so diStracting and nerve-racking, with their never teasing mum they drive the sufferer almost frantic and con1- plete nervous breakdown may result.
 Thanks to remarkable prescription, it is now possible to lessen the sever ity of these head noises and often com disappearing of the head noises the hearing also greatly improves, and very frequently can be restored to nor nal. It can be easily prepared at home for about 75c and we believe is a most effective treatment for this trouble. From your druggist secure 1 oz. Par mint Double Strensth1, take ti1is home and add to it 1-4 pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated su- gar. Stir until dissolved. Take one teaspoonful four times day. ParMfnt IS used in this way not only to reduce by to6ic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustaclaian tubes and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of eecretions in the middle ear, and the results 1t gives are usually quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarra in any form should give this recipe a trial.

STORING GASOLINE IN
 SHEDS VIOLATES LAW
Laserf Quantities Should Be Kept in
 Underareund Tanks.

Owing othe high cost of gasoline and the probable increase in the price many people are now buying it in large quantities and storing it on their premises. Several have erected wood en sheds in which to store the tanks which contain the fuel. This is con trary to the city ordinance and those contemplating storing the fuel would do well to consult Fire Marshal H. L. Stanton. All large quantities should be kept in underground tanks An other reason why people should be careful about gasoline is that the in- surance companies refuse to pay in surance on fires that result from the storage of gasoline. Tn regard to the violation of the ordinance section " says:
 Any person violating any provision of this ordinance shall forfeit and pay fine for the use of the city Of oNr- wien not exceeding one hundred dol lars. And the Keeping, storing or us- ing of gasoline, naptha or benzine in violation of any of the provisions of this ordinance for any part of any period of twenty four consecutive house shall be a separate offense.

WHAT TO DO WHEN
 HAIR GROWS THIN
Give the Hair Root Nourishnent and
 Stop Spread of BaIdneus.

Thousands of men and women arc growing bald every day and don't know the reason why. This is indeed 8 pity because badness usually comes from carelessness and anyone who gives the hair just a little attention should have an abundance of good. healthy hair. Dandruff and dirt help to cause badness by clogging the pores in the scalp and giving the dan druff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding.
 The treatment is very simple. fc- move the dirt by shampooinn auu de- stroy the dandruff germs by frequent ly applying a little of the real NarIn- ian Sage (liquid form) a most emc- lent preparation that the best drug gists everywhere are now recom- mending as one of the Vquicltest and safest treatments to surely stop itch ing scalp and falling hair, remove an dandruff and to properly nourish and inVigorate the hair roots.
 Parisian Sage is also the diBcriml- hating woman's favorite hair dressing because it gives her hair a softnegs and luster that fascinates and compels admiration. A generous bottle costs but little from Lee & Osgood who guarantee it to you.
