 Norwich Fair.
 In cooperation with the School Gar den Supervisors G. A. Hargey of Nor wfch and E.. K. Wilcox of New London. a juvenile garden and canning exhibit was made at the County Fair and al- though the exhibitors were entirely children. the ability of the city gar dens to produce staple vegetables was clearly demonstrated by the fact that they entirely filled a 30x6O tent with their products. Besides these the garden supervisor sent letter to each of the Home Gardeners urging them to exhibit at the fair and enclosing the vegetable premium list. The entries made by them easily doubled the amount of vegeta ables usually shown at the fair
 Unfinished Work.
 The Home Garden work is by no means finished yet Really its most i'm portant part will come during the next month; the harvest season. Then it will be determined to a le/,ge extent the real value and results of the entire Home- Ga rden movement.
 l. The record books which have been given out should be collected and the figures tabulated.-
 2. The harvesting and marketing of the Boy Scout beans must be looked after.
 Recommendations For Next Year.
 If possible it should now be determ- fned whether the gardens will be con- tinued another year and if they are to 1 be. much of the land already in use could be secured again much easier | this fall than next spring. Applications | for garden next year could be se- cured from those now having a garden | quite easily. Much of the land could l be fall plowed to both financial advan- tages and good of the land.

which would bring the total bill to
 $27, and that is the only claim for medical attention made by the injured employe in this instance.
 It is claimed by the representative for the respondents that, if the employe desired other medical attention than that furnished by his. employer, he should have notified the employer and so given the employer an opportunity to provide competent surgical attend ance which was not done in this case. This, of course, is more or less true, but the course pursued by the claim ane in the present case was due to a
 considerable extent to his pack of knowledge as to the exact course which he should have p,.rsued under the eX- isting circumStances.
 In view of the fact that the claim ant was not Es familiar with the law as he should have been, and the fact that he was unable to procure the services of the company's regular phy eictan in the beginning, also the fact that the bill rendered by the physician called in by rhe claimant was very reasonable one, .t-is found that the dered is reasonable and just and the commissioner approves 1:
 compe nsation for Husbands Death.
 The second finding is in the case of Lucy Sandocrocce De Angelo of New London, widow of Salvador De Angelo, claimant, against Holbrook. Cabot & Rollins Corp. of. New Lordon. The award in this case is tha. the respon- dents snall pay to tine claimant $500 ($1e0 as provided for funeral expenses and $20o for other necessary and inn mediate needs) and that compensation shall be paid to the claimant at the rate of :12.41 weekly for a: period not to exceed 3I2.

An Old Mans Stomach

As we grow older and less active
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies If too
much is habitually taken the stomach
will rebel. When man reaches
the advanced age Of 85 or so, you
will find that he Is a light eater
Be as careful as you will, however,
you will occasionally eat more than
you should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its func-
lions naturally. They also cause a
gentle movement of the bowels.

"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine"

Chiropractic is natures method, it locates and
removes the cause of human ailments included the
so-called ''incurable' diseases. Now please,
draw your conclusions: If-and there is no doubt
about it, it is proven every day-such stubborn
cases as Infantile Paralysis, Hay Fever, many
forms of Deafness, Asthma, Arthristis Deformans,'
Aneurism, Gall Stone, etc, successfully yield to
Chropractic, then shouldn't you be mighty sure
that minor troubles, however painful, troublesome
and grave they appear to you, will be relieved?
Think it over! And remember: It don't make
any difference what you believe about it, the fact
remains the same. Disease is the result of OBJ
structing the transmission of current; it is
due to varying degrees Of pressure upon nerves at
their exits between the vertebrae of the spinal
column. A Chiropractor is who knows how to
remove such pressure.
''Do not think that Chiropractic must always
''be ''last resort to be ''tried' after failure
''of all else and as a desperate measure. Do
mot leave to the last which should always be
"a first resort
If you are sick or affected inquiry no doubt, will
onvince you that Chiropractic is Right and that
pplication thereof to your case will result in re-
toration of your health,

CREOSOTE BLOCK PAVEMENT

The Pilot has on several occasions
taken occasion to call attention to the
condition of our creosoted block pave
ment, where it has heaved up in
places, and as Third and Scott streets
have this paving it is we'll to watch
it; hence we publish the following,
taken from the American Lumberman:
"Creosoted wood blocks have estab-
lished their superiority in road build
ing. You are all familiar with the
construction of wood block roads, but
there are several points in this con-
nection that are worth reiterating.
Wood blocks will give the expected
service only when laid in good solid
foundation, preferably of concrete. a
common mistake that is a heritage
from the days of the general use OF
the old fashioned cobblestone pave
ment is the continued use of the So
called sand cushion" A sand cush-
ion under a wood block pavement is
worse than useless. Sand is hard, in
elastic but shifting in nature. A sand
cushion one inch in thickness can eff
fectually ruin an otherwise good wood
block pavement. The very best prac-
tice is to lay the wood block directly
upon the concrete foundation, which
should be foated and smoothed with
templet as it is laid. The concrete
foundation should be given a thin
coat of paving pitch Immediately be-
fore the blocks are laid, The blocks
should be dipped in a bath Of hot
- Of oh
thirds the height of the blocks as they
are laid, thus avoiding the squeegee-
ing of the hot paving pitch into the
spaces between the blocks with the
consequent disagreeable sticky sur
face. Expansion joints are thus pro-
vided between every two blocks. Hot
sand should be worked into the re-
naming, one-third of the space be-
tween the blocks. In no case should
cement grout be used as a filler be-
tween the blocks. Liberal expansion
Joints should be provided at the curbs
These joints should be filled with hot
paving pitch. Best results have been
obtained by laying the courses OF
blocks at an angle with the curb, thus
avoiding the necessity of transverse
Expansion joints. No trouble will be
experienced with expansion if the
blocks are properly treated, but dry
blocks should be well soaked with
water before laying.
A properly laid creosoted wood
block foundation will outlast any other
form of pavement, in many cases prov
| ing to be more durable than granite
A good base must, however. be pro-
yided. If the concrete base fails, the
surfacing must. of course, also fail
lCreosoted wood blocks thrive under
heavy traffic, as the surface f1bres
matt down and form a continuou:
sheet of wear resisting material

MARY BAKER EDDY MEMORIAL

The memorial to Mary Baker Eddy,
the discoverer and founder of Chris
tian science, erected in Mt Auburn
cemetery at Cambridge, Mass, was
today turned over to the Christian
Science Board of Directors by Ebert
S. Barlow of New York, who had
charge of its construction. Over a
year and a half has been required to
complete it. Christian Scientists
throughout the world have contribut-
ed, as expressions of sentiment, the
entire cost of over $15O,OOO.
The memorial is of Bethel white
granite and consists of an open cir
cular colonnade of eight columns fff-
teen feet in height surmounted by a
cornice and cresting. The space in
side the colonnade is to be filled with
growing flowers. The columns rest
on a stylobate of three steps, which al
so rest, at one side. on a broad plat
form of Pompton pink granite and, at
the other, which is about five feet
lower, on a double flight of circular
steps. These are fanked on each side
by a large pylon. The pylons were
exhibited a short time ago at the
American Institute of Architecture in
New, York, and were pronounced BY
several experts to be the finest pieces
of carved granite ever executed. The
detail is elaborate to an extent never
before attempted in granite; some OF
the stems and leaves are practically
free-standing, so great is the relief.

LOG DRIVE ON THE WISCONSIN
Now Novelty, But For Many Years
There Was Log Driving With
Every Freshet.

To see the Wisconsin river filled
With logs being driven to lower points
Is a novelty now, but from the 40's
until a few years ago there was never
a rise in the river but what there was
a log drive. This spring the John
Weeks Lumber Co. will drive 4,000,-
900 feet of logs to its mills at Stevens
Point. These logs are at points about
twenty-eight miles above Stevens
Point; most of them at Moon, near
Mosinee 1t will take until the mid
die of June to get the logs down if
the water continues at a. good stage.
Ole Larson of Stevens Point, will be
in charge of the drive and he will
have a crew of about forty men. The
work will be viewed with much in
terest as the logs pass through the
various places. On a warm spring
Sunday, years ago, our whole popu-
lation turned out to watch the lum-
Der RATS run the falls and to watch
the drivers handle the logs. Ball
games, golf, and the like were not in
it when it came to this kind of ex-
Ecitement.
