Another obstacle which seems to
have prevented the sending of selec-

probable that the project will be put
through.

Agricultural Society Annual-Notes.

First Selectman Willard I. Alling's
announcement this morning that the
new bridge over the American Paper
Goods pond in Kensigton will be for
mally opened for traffic from the To-
cal authorities in q long time and is
II particular interest not only to resi-
dents Of this place who have been
greatly Inconvenience for the past
lew months by the lack of q bridge,
but also by the travelling public at
large that ever has occasion to go to
Or from the Blue Fills district.
Selectman Alling said this morning
that the bridge will be opened for
general use on Saturday and that
thereafter 1t would be unnecessary
Tor traffic to use the long and rough
letour that has been in general use
since last June. Selectman Alling fur
thermore stated that officials of the
state highway and construction de-
partments visited the bridge about a
month ago and at the time said it
would be at least four weeks before
The cement would be sufficiently har-
dened to permit its use with safety.
At the time, however, the engineers
assumed that the weather would con-
hnue moderately mild, giving the CO.
ment ample time to harden. The Sc
lectman does not feel however, that
d. he is taking any chances in opening
Nlhe bridge to traffic this week as when
It was rebuilt some extra and appar-
entity unnecessary reinforcement was
Installed and this should make up for
any possible weakness resulting from
climatic effect on the cement. The
selectman did state nevertheless, that
Tor the time being it would be adj
7isable to permit only lighter traffic
I oyer the bridge as the passage of
Heavily loaded trucks might, at this
time, be somewhat risky.
With the opening Of this bridge on
Saturday will close one of the most
serious agitations that has stirred the
sown in a long time. Ever since a
heavy automobile truck crashed
through the bridge last June the
structure has been closed to the pub
lie and q long detour has been ne
>cessary Although six months had
Elapsed and new bridge had been
built it's formal opening was delayed
10 the annoyance OF the public. So
great was the agitation concerning
his bridge that during the recent po-
litical campaign the bridge became

party opposing the administration
Then in power and since then it has

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel - are mid but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggy" and
heavy" Note how they ''clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

Red Cross Wants
Standard Goods

Conditions which make it OF the ut
most importance for chapter work
rooms to follow exactly all instruct )ns
from the woman's bureau regarding
The making of hospital and refugee
garments are the subjects of the Iol-
lowing statement from Miss Florence
Marshall, director of the woman's bu-
reau, to all Red Cross workers:
The woman's bureau recently sent
two representatives to France to study
the question of standardizing hospital
and refugee garments. 1t was exceed
ingly important to have detailed and
authentic information so that patterns
could be issued for these garments
to meet the essen .ial requirements OF
the various relief organizations
abroad. While a delay was newt
able before full Information concern
ing these garments could be issued 20
the workers, it was warranted by in
surfing that only the most useful ar
ticles would be shipped abroad. Ire
mendous pressure in transportation
makes ibis absolutely essential.
Models Soon to be Issued.
The representatives have now re-
turned. and a full set of models is soon
to be issued to the chapters. A pre-
urinary bulletin, ARC 4O5, has already
Desn issued on hospital garments and
supplies, and others are 70 follow. Al
though the standardized garments may
not cover all the wants of all organiza-
lions, the woman's bureau has assur'
ance that they will fill all the most I'M
portant needs. Specialties will be
made or supplied by the Red Cross
commission to France.
Charges or new models recommend
ed have not been arbitrarily decided
upon, but are founded on established
customs and conditions which can not
be ignored.
The representative Of the woman's
bureau visited many refugee work and
hospital locations, and noted carefully
the suggestions of those in charge
Their notes were collated, and the op
ion of both hospital and refugee gar
consulted was made the deciding fac

ton fboth hospital and refugee gar.
ments were approved and adopted by
the persons in charge of the distribu-
ton in France.
Urged to Follow Directions.
The woman's bureau strongly urges
all workers to follow explicitly direc,
tons as issued from time to time. Con-
ditions are constantly changing abroad
and all organizations and individuals
must be ready and willing to change
their methods. One wiz is unable or
unwilling to follow directions will DC
hindrance instead of help.
Issuing new directions or changes
does not mean that the old ones were
useless, but that improvements have
been worked out When workers are
asked to stop making a certain article
and to make another, it means that
the supply of the first article has. for
the moment, filled the demand.
Deep appreciation was everywhere
expressed of the supplies heretofore
sent from America

LABOR COMPANIES BEHIND LINE
LARGER Than FIGHTING ElEMENT

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Nov. 24.-The Labor Com
panies" form the greater part of that
Army Behind the Lines" which is
now so essential a part of army or
ganization. The first British expedi-
tionary force was almost exclusively
combatant, but today it is said that
one and a half men are required to
maintain one man in trenches, and the
army of labor has grown until it is
stronger numerically than the fight
ing army itself.
A labor company is a unit consist
ing of 500 men, commanded by cap
tain and his staff. In April, 1917, one
year after the first formally designated
labor companies were authorized there
had been formed in England "a labor
battal;ons and 119 labor companies for
service abroad and seven battalions
and 1l3 companies for home service.
All Trades Needed.
Under the new conditions of war
fare, every labor requirement of civil
life may be said to be paralleled in the
organization of the army. The per-
sonnet of the labor companies is ex-
tremely various and interesting. It
consists in essence of those classes
of men who are not fit for the front
line, such as volunteers who are over
age or soldiers who have served and
incurred physical disability.
They build and repair roads, dig
trenches, erect defenses and redoubts,
construct and man light railways, and
handle heavy stores and transport.
The light railways behind the
trenches are under the constant care
Of the labor companies. When an al
led advance is carried out and the
Germans driven back over a substaa-

tial depth OF front. one of the first
tasks of the labor companies S to con
tinue the lines over the lacerated strip
of No Mans Land and the crater field
which was the enemy position, and
connect it up with what is left of the
German light railway in the captured
area. In the same way, shell-wrecked
and mine-destroyed roads near the
front lines have to be repaired and
made possible for traffic. New or
improved switch roads have to be built
to avoid dangerous and heavily shelled
points, and each step of an advance
is succeeded by an energetic period OF
construction in which labor companies
take leading part.
Often Under Fire.
Often their work is carried out IN
der persistent artillery fire, for the
enemy specializes in bombarding the
back areas" in an effort to impede
the work of renewing communications
knowing the spots most likely to be
full of troops and workers. The fight.
ing troops have only to pass through
these rear area bombardments. but
the labor companies have to carry on
their work amid Smelling. and their
casualties are often numerous Be
hind the British lines are to be found
Zulu and Kaffir units from South AT
RIGA, Tonkinese and Annamese from
French Indo-China, coolies from all
parts Of China and natives OF varied
type from india.
In war which is now primarily 4
war of organization and attrition. the
Importance of the labor organization
cannot be oyerrated. The work is not
snowy or romantic. but it is frequent
ly the foundation of victory. In the
army OF the future, labor units will
play large part.
