 Following the departure of the na- ttonal guard and national naval vol unteers from the state armory in Main street, it was found that the equlp- ment reverting to the home guard, which came into possession of the quarters fourteen companies strong was inadequate State money for the furnishing of the quarters is not in- cluded in the present act appropriat- ing money for uniforms and aecoutre- ments.
 It is estimated that between $5,o0O and $10,000 is needed for adequate furnishings and such incidental re- serve capital as may place the home gard of this section of Connecticut ir a position to meet emergency needs | of the community at any time without hampering the administration of the higher military powers

WOMAN PUTS 5 ESHERIFF'S MEN

Routs Advance Guard But Endorsements of Police

The martial spirit and resolution which is being displayed by the Ital- ian army is contagious. especially when one happens to be of Latin blood. This act was demonstrated Thursday when Mrs. Frank Colosonto, 53t Housatonic avenue, nibbled at a line of four stalwart constables head edS byJ Sheriff Richard Brown and then started an offensive which rout-

GIVE ADVICE TO
 INSURED MEN IN NATIONAL ARMY
They Should Notify Com panies Within 60 Days
 After Going Abroad.

Connecticut men. in the military service of their country, who have life insurance policies, are advised by the Connecticut State Council of Defense in a statement made public today to see to it that the fact that they have gone abroad is reported within sixty days after their departure to the companies by which their insurance is issued. l
 This action is necessary, the Council has learned, to prevent any possibility of the insurance lapsing, whether it be an individual policy or insurance under the group plan.
 The question was raised by a large Connecticut concern which 1nsures it's employees under the group insurance plan. This company wrote to the council of defense: ''It is very necessary that through some means we should obtain Information within 60 days of the departure of men from the United States of the single fact that the individual has departed where we are unable to pay the addi- tiona1 premiums on our insurance policies until we receive information that, .thes man ,a has leftsthe United sStAtess The com pany also said that there are thousands of employers in the United States who are in the same position, and millions of insurance for troops is dependent upon the receipt promptly of that information"
 The matter has been investigated for the Council by one of it's members familiar with the life insurance busi- ness, who has reported that the only feasible way which appears for secur- ing information within SO days of the departure of men from the United
 States in order that additional pre-
 miums upon their lives may be paid is for the men themselves to report as
 soon as permitted after arriving abroad. i
 '"The War Department" his report explained, certainly will not give mo- f tice of their sailing and probably will not permit the men to give notice upon | the eve of, departure. Presumably they will be allowed to write home af- ter arrival"
 The report to the Council says
 ."'Ldfe Insurance in force prior to a
 certain date covers war service with l out permit or additional premium. | American Life Insurance Companies during the. month of April, gave notice as to new insurances that the insured tmust within sixty days after leavine | the United States for military service 1 in territory foreign to 5. the United States. notify the company and pay such extra. premiums as the company may determine. It would seem that prudence would dictate that any man | in the service and expecting to leave l the United States would better pay
 the additional premium at once, but
 in the case of soldiers for whom the
 additional premium is paid by theii 1 employers it would seem that the only
 feasible way in view of the secrecy
 surrounding troop movements would f be for the employer to so instruct the I individuals concerned that they will
 notify the employer of their transfer to foreign territory, in which case tlre premiums might readily be paid with | in the time limit

THE BEST TEST
Is the Test of Time

Years ago this Norwich resident told of good results from using poan's Kid. ney Pifls. Now Daniel J. Brown, pro- priefor repair shop, of 6 Summer St. confirms the former statement-says there has been no return of the trouble Can Noriwch people ask for more con- vincing testimony?
 MT. Brown says:
 The results that followed the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. procured st Sevin & Sons Drug Store, were so satisfactory in my case, in view of my experience, I can heartily recommend them as an excellent medicine for ton ing up the kidneys and relieving ail- nnents. due to their disordered condi- tion."
 The above statement was given August 2s, 1908. and on May 1s. 1916. MT. Brown said: 'I have had no oc- casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since I recommended them in 1908. My cure has been a permanent one"

 Speeding Up to Enlist.

Anticipating the operation of the selective draft, many of Putnam's s young men who are subject to it's provisions and who have an eye to placing themselves in branches of the army service for which they have g. preference, are doing considerable scurrying around these days getting information at recruiting points in a number of cities on points in which they are interested. The quartermas- ter's reserve division seems to hold considerable appeal to a number of Putnam's alert young men and it now seems likely that they will enlist in this branch of the service before June 5, the day when all young men be- tween the ages of a1 and SO must reg ister.
