There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and for years 1t was supposed to be
lncurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh
is a local disease, greatly influenced by con-
stitutional conditions and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Medicine, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy,
is taken internally and acts thru the Blood
on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. One
Hundred Dollars reward Is offered for any
case that Halls Catarrh Medicine fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

and Good Will,
Good Will

Across the far Judean hills
To listening shepherds echoin0 rang,
At midnight, family, songs OF praise,
Dim, distant songs, in Dordless lays,
When all the stars together sang.
And they, the shepherds, listening long,
With beating hearts, In atoe-fILed
mood
Was this the song Orion sung,
The mystic, golden aiSles among,
In Spdce-gemmed solitudef
Or pere these ASphd's anthems grand,
Some duSky temple aisles betpeen,
When heavy censors slotoly s,Oun0,
Where sandaled motders, bending,
sung
Out oil their souls, unloved, unseenf
S,odrt forms stood forth, their 0irdIes
loosed,
With faces totoard the midnight sky;
And, trembling, paited, lips apart,
Limbs tense, Where fullest muscles
start,
And QutUering arms uprdised high.
Clearer the sound t1dues stDept the
plain,
As all the Wide porld's pulse stood
still,
Till softly Worded fell the strain,
From Zion's hills flung back again,
peace and good Will, good piII."
Down went the stdllpdrt shepherds
there,
In humble pose, aotth hearts dfdn1e.
To all the earth from BethIehem's
height,
In solemn catches on that night,
The dear Gods nep EUdngel an1e
All voices Joined the solemn chant,
From Ddvtd'S city to the sea;
From deep Euphrates' silent tides,
To Jericho's palm-shaded sides;
From Gath to Gdlilee.
In ~1oidening circles, s1oeet and clear,
From oliUe grove or pGlm-croaoned
hill,
Sipept back that anthem, HedUen-born,
On hdrpS of gold, by angels borne,
peace and good Will, good toill."
A thousand gears on Times strong tide
Haze 11dShed the shores OF Change;
UncOunted men hare l0red, haze died,
And Life and Death, all INDEBTED,

But still the harpers touch the strings,
In chorus grGnder still,
And oceans mighty UoiceS sing,
While all the earth her ch0rdls bring,
"Pedce and good WilI, good uiH."
In humble cot on Scotia's braes,
Or Egypt's ~Slumb'rouS yale,
Ger Sand-S10ept deserts, camel trod,
On SnoU-croDned Alps upredred to
God,
The mighty chords prevail
In pdles of musk; DER hills of burSe;
Spice-Scented UGlleys bleSt;
When odorous lilies st0tng their bells
And ~sensuous, det0-drunk dSphOdelS
Their hOnied lips hare preS't;

WORK ON MASTER DRAFT LIST IS
 NOW UNDER WAY
Notice for Physical. Tests Will Be All Mailed By Saturday.

By the end of next week every Bridgeport man who is to go into the national selected army in the first contingent, will know 1t and although a lew exemptions cases will be pend- Ing at that time, the holders of num- bers drawn for the initial increment will know from the nature of their claims and the definite rules promui- gated what their chances are. The Bridgeport exemption bdards have received their master lists and are determining the order in which the men will be called Notices will be mailed today and tomorrow and all of them will be out by the end of this week. Allowing all of those summon ed few days before their appear ance for examinations as to physical ability, the called men should be presenting themselves to the phy- sicians by the middle of next week. Present expectations are that the ex- amining will be ended by Saturday, Augusts4, but this is based on phy- sicians working 10 hours a day and finishing with each man in 15 min utes. The estimate of time for each examination is perhaps half of what will be actually taken. Regular army examiners require from 80 to 40 min- utes to make the thorough physical test called for and it is not reasona- ble to suppose that physicians for the most part unaccustomed to the detailed work will do it in, half the time.

Newtown Chosen as Place
 for Meeting on Monday / Next, July 30.

Newtown, July 26-There will be a meeting at Paul Pierce's farm, Hanover Springs. Newtnwn. Monday, July 30, at D. m., to organize a local National Farm Loan Association for Fairfield county.
 Prof. Guy c. Smith, of the Con nectfcut Agricultural college, will be present to help in the organization. It is important that all farmers in- terested come to the meeting. In the present grave crisis in our pational life everything depends on the farmer Have they all the money they reasonably need to place their farms upon a paying basis? Is money on mortgages secured on terms which make it possible for them Co build and plan ahead? Are they sure that the present favorable con. ditions are likely to remain so indef1- nitely, so that they will not sooner oI later be crowded by the mortgage debt on the farm? MT. Robinson, president of the Federal Land Bank of Springfield, Mass, rightly says thest questions are vital. They are pertinent to the stability and pros- perity of Fairfield county. The flow ing in of thousands of dollars of out side money will mean the greatest prosperity for the county. A local National Farm Loan association will help the county, will increase bank deposits, strengthen every branch of business and benefit the whole peo. pie.
