The finger lings will be sent to this state in railroad freight car and they will be in cans.
 He expects that the supply will be over a million fngerlings. Superin- tendent Champion said that this is the largest supply ever shipped into this state. He expects that Henry iO'Malley, of the bureau, who is one of the best authorities on fish in the country, and pr. Field, of the depart ment of geology. will attend the meet ing Of the commission and others, in eluding state officials, whom he has invited and which will be held at the state game farm at Madison, Nov. 6.

AUTO HIT COW
AUTO, HIT COW
 ON NORWICH ROAD. Animal Loonned Up Directly in Path of Approaching Machine.

A COW came very near upsetting an automobile in which MT. Carness of Montauk avenue, New London, was riding over the Norwich road Tuesday night en route to New London. While proceeding along an unusually dark stretch of road the COW loomed up directly in the path of the approach ing auto and before the brakes could be set the ma chine crashed into the animal, striking her amidship- The COW was knocked to the ground by the impact but soon got up and ran away before the damage she received could be ascertained..
 The front of the automobile was quite badly damaged, so MT. Carnes claimed at police headquarters, where he has made a complaint about peo- ple allowing their cows ito run about the roads at night. He further said that he does not think that his naa- chine was the first one to come into contact with the animal, as a little way down tie road from where the collision in which he was involved oc- cured O. pool of blood was found in the highway.

Storm Brings Sand Back.

While Tuesdays storm was adding to the already severe damage of last weeks gale at other points along the sound shore, at Ocean Beach the waves were doing what they could to restore damage done six days ago. In the previous storm the sand on the main beach front was carried out to a depth of three or four feet, laying bare all the steps built three years ago and even the skeleton remains of former steps lower down and leaving a long hollow near the board walk. Tuesday this hollow was filled in and the sand brought up about to level of the old step foundations, the deposit being 9 bout a foot in depth.

You Cannot Expect To Have a Clear
 Complexion
By Constantly Massaging 1t With So-caIied Skin Foods or Creams,
 0ften Rancid or Germy.
Substitute Cuticura
 For One Week

And make Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment your everyday toilet preparations. They cannot possibly injure the pores. Contrast the purity, fragrance, comfort and convenience of these super-creamy emollients with ''beauty fads" so com mon, tiresome and expensive. A bath with Cuticura Soap and hot water on rising and retiring thoroughly cleanses and stimulates sluggish pores. giving the complexion a fresh healthy glow. If signs of pimples, fedness or rough ness be present smear them with the Ointment and let it remain five minutes before bathing. Nothing purcr, swceter or more effective for your skin and hair than Cuticura no matter how much you pay for it.

 Of all do we want to have them cut

 have much meat and for whom the

Mrs Sarah Clarke who died at the Backus hospital October 90, was for many yeArs resident of Norwich Town. Coming from the west to East Great Plain in the ninetfes, and later to Norwich Town, with the exception of two or three years at White Plains, N. Y, in the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop hospital, she has been identified with interests here; her connection with the First Congregational church as an active member so long as health per- nnitted, her devotion to the work of the Ladies' Home Missionary socie- ty, all this and her long residence on West Town street, brought her into association with many friends and al- so with the members of the First Methodist church. During her long illness she has been followed with their sympathy and been cheered by their frequent calls. At Backus hos pftal she has greatly appreciated the thoughtful kindness of nurses end others and her stay there made her last days peaceful and happy.
 Mrs Clarke is survived by a sister in Waterbury and a nephew at East Great plain.
