aminations, and assisting him on Friday were Dr. Edward F. Perry, Putnam, and Dr. George Barnes of Dayville.
 During the morning session Friday, 53 men appeared before the board, and of this number IA failed to pass the physical examination and three were aliens. The members of the board are surprised to find so few aliens in the list. Thus far the number has ticipated. The claims for exemption are coming in tast Without eXcep- tion every married man who has ap- peared has signified his intention of claiming exemption. Only one un- married man without dependents has it on the grounds of extreme nervous ness. He failed in his physical ex- animation.
 The board has as yet come to no definite decisions in any of the cases of men who have appeared before it. Thus far there are about 30 men who have passed the physical tests and who are unmarried and claim no been told that they will be called it is probably safe to assume that they will be among those who make up the great army now being raised
 A member of the board said Friday afternoon that the spirit of the men who were being examined is com mendable in the highest degree Ev- cry man seems anxious to assist in every way he can and no one has had to be told to do thing more than once. On the contrary. the men do not have to be told to do a thing q all. but do it of their own accord in q spirit of helpfulness.
 Some of the men who have failed to pass the physical examinations show that they are good Americans by voicing a desire to go, even though the doctors refuse. Gee. that's tough" said John J. McCann. of Goodyear, when the doctor refused to pass him because of poor eyes. Ex- cept for the eye trouble. McCann passed a perfect examination.
 When the name of John H. Ester brooke, POmfret, was called the board was notified that Esterbrooke was at gagged with one of the saw-nill units that recently sailed from Boston.
 Afternoon Results Satisfactory. tained at the afternoon sitting of the board. With the list of physicians augmented by the presence of Dr. w. H. Judson of Danielson, the cases were handled with greater expedition and at 5 o'clock the work for the day was completed, the quotas for Thurs day and Friday having been fully ex- anined.
 A surprisingly large number of young men in Friday afternoons quo- ta passed the physical examination, and as a considerable number of these young men are unmarried and with out dependents it may safely be as serted that Fridays work will show fine net total to be added to the districts quota of 1I9, which will not be obtained, it is now certain, from the 238 men first called. the last group of this total appearing for their examinations today.
 The board is without instructions relative to summoning more men, but such instructions are expected within a few days, when another call for men to take examinations will be issued

DAVIS THEATRE.
Four Complete Shows Today, at 1.3o,
 3.15, and p. m.

Marguerite Clark, the popular Para mount star and Olive Thomas, the Harrison Fisher Beauty, are rivals in two wonderful pictures.
 Anyone with a slight inclination to- ward prevarica tion-or just plain lying, for that matter-would find food for serious reflection in Miss George Washington, the Famous Players-Par- amount picture at the Davis today, in which Marguerite Clark stars. In this story one little fb. told by Miss Clark starts an avalanche of deception in order to enable her to conceal the first breach of faith. To make matters worse, Miss Clark is such an inno- cent looking little soul that she even receives a handsome medal from the Truth Society for her emulation Of George Washington Needless to say she nearly expires with mirth during the presentation of the medal
 Olive Thomas, the former beauty of the Follies, is seen for the first time on the screen in Madcap Madge, a five part Triangle feature. In Madcap Madge, Olive Thomas appears as Madge Flower, the daughter of a wealthy broker. She is a wholesome. mischfevous girl who gets expelled from a young ladies' finishing school so she can join her mother and older sister at Palm Beach.
 Reel life with many interesting sub jecCs complete the show.

AFTER FIVE YEARS
Norwich Testimony Remains Un-
 shaken.

Time is the best test of truth Here is a Norwich story that has stood the test of time. It is story with point which will come straight home to many of us.
 Mrs. John Wozniak, 23 Elm St., says: T suffered for three or four years from my kidneys and didn't find anything that would give me relief until I be- gan using Doan's Kidney Pills. I got Deans from Sevin & Sons Drug Store. The first box removed the heavy, dull pain that had settled in my back and when I had finished the second box, I felt like a different woman My kid neys again acted regularly and all of kidney disorder left me-" (Statement given July 22, 1911.)
 On May IT, 1916, Mrs. Wozntak said: T still have great faith in Doan's Kid ney Pills and am glad to recommend such a good medicine again. I have used them off and on whenever my back has felt bad and I always have had prompt relief"
