Liberty Loan Thermometer "Busted'
Mercury Can't Go Any Higher Unless Addition is Built Many More Subscriptions Looked for Today-Boy
 Scouts Have Raised $41, ,15O to Date.

The Liberty Loan thermometer on Franklin square is busted" and the mercury is now bubbling over the top in a steady stream. How much more than the maximum of s1,25O,O00 has been raised in this city \to help make
 the world safe for democracy could not be learned on Thursday night but
 it is considerable and the Liberty Loan
 committee is thinking seriously of building an addition to the thermome- ter so that the mercury can tell it's own story to the patriotic sons and daughters of Norwich. The New Lon don Norwich Sign company who built the thermometer have generously con- scented to build an extension and it is possible that this will be done to- day' Although the maximum has now been raised in this city the number of subscribers is much smaller than in the first Liberty Loan campaign and about 1500 more subscriptions are needed in order to reach the number of subscribers obtained in the first campaign. The local committee is looking for an avalanche of $50 sub scriptions today and tomorrow
 Thursday in the Boy Scout cam paign was a sort of calm before the storm," the total subscriptions being only 63 for an amount of $6,550. Many of the boys, however, report many sub- scriptions in sight for Friday, when the campaign for individual subscrip- tions will close at 9 o'clock. The re- ports are as follows:

but the people of Groton refuse te sell, according to q statement made by one of the officials
 The payroll at the Groton Iron Works at present is $6,000 weekly and it is the earnest intention of the of ficers of the company to increase this amount to S30,000 when the work is in full operation.
 The company officials are pleased with the facilities here, claiming that the freight rates are reasonable, that an electric power plant is being erect ed and with the excellent water fla cilities make this site an ideal spot for this sort of an industry.
 The tracks at the works are rapidly being completed and will be finished within few weeks. At present the work in that line is being done with the aid of 50 ton locomotives, owned by the Groton Iron Works.
 A storehouse about BOO feet long as we'll as a fabricating shop $50 by 15o feet are being erected. A huge cleo tric traveller is working throughout the yard and on the ship ways. The company has purchased the finest tools to be had in America and in general everything going on at that plant is the last word"

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES
 OF CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic is based on natural laws which are rational because they are natural. Nature is always kind and benefcient when she is allowed to work her ways untrammelIed. There ar., forces within the body that tend to heal and make for health and long life for nature wages constant warfare against every untoward circumstance that makes the living body susceptible to disease. It is the province of Chiro- practice to aid nature. Any one with ordinary intelligence will at once see that Chilropractic is a method of pro- cedure 50 safe, sound and scientific that there can be no question as to it's practical value to mankind, because when the great power house, The Brain System of the human body is being turned to it's highest efficiency, the betterman of the body will be eventu- ally realized.
 When the spinal column (enclosing the spinal cord) has any of it's twenty four verterbrae out of alignment dis turbances somewhere in the body is sure to follow. Such conditions pro-
 through the former (opening) and cut off the life impulses of certain organs.
 The bones of the spinal column by
 means of accidents and sprainS. often
 times themselves trif1ing enough do get
 out of their true relations with each
 other. They still may be nearly right,
 yet not quite right. Such abnormal
 positions could hardly be called dis
 location, and as some books have it, a
 complete luXaion because it. is
 something less than that-in fact a
 sub-luxation. Such conditions are cor
 rected by our method regardless of
 your disease and produces uniformly
 satisfactory results which means

BIG STORM DAMAGE
 AT OCEAN BEACH. Cottages, Wharves and Boats Suffered from High Tide.

Wednesdays storm certainly had it Tn for Ocean Beach. Hundreds of dollars Of damage was done there, the | most conspicuous of which was to the l new dike built a year or so ago, and the cinder walk laid along it's top. Wharves and boats suffered also and the big neE diving raft, left in place long after the usual time of the year.
 most of those with it, and carried up
 Aiewife creek nearly to the Appleby
 cottaga. where the boardwalk ends. A
 smaller raft and what is left of the high diving structure accompanied it to this resting place.
 The highest tide in recent years swept across the lower beach, filli1:g ali the streets and lots over two feet Ceep in water. People returning late
 in the afternoon to the 13 cottages in that section still occupied had to wade to reach their doors. The only path
 above water was the boardwalk on the peach front, and waves occasionally dashed over that in some places.
 The @dike was completely hidden by tEe high waters and as they receded they carried off the entire dike struc- oi about 25 feet at the end of East erly place and for a smaller stretch near the end of Ocean View p,ace.
 The slabs of bog turf used as a facing
 for the dike fioated off in chunks from
 all along the dike and the big clods are scattered along the length of Bentley avenue and the cross streets. in the lots and dooryards and even in base

 About a house recently shingled
 carpenters removed. These were taken
 away in their entirety and the lot
 cleaned up better than a hired man
 would have done it. The shingles are
 scattered here and there or gathered
 in heaps in neighboring lots
 On the beach front proper the dam age was less than might have been ex- pected- Many blanks were Ioosened from the public wharf and the landing six inches out of level. Judge Alfred Colts sharpie was smashed and a mo- torboat which broke adrift in a storm few days ago and was hauled high on Osprey beach was on Wednesday pounded to splinters. The private wharf of the Guthrie place just above Osprey beach was crumpled
 several garages had automobiles in them and the water rose to the f1ooes of the cars. The flood came so sud precautions against damage could be taken.
 The breach of the dike at Easterly and Ocean View places makes the most serious damage, as,, unless repairs are made, even an ordinary tide can sweep through the breaks and do continued damage to that part of the | colony.
