DR.. Bell, Phone Creator, Tells
Of Fascinating Possibilities
for Future
ALCOHOL MAY FLAY
AN IMPORTANT PART

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-In COM
munication TO the National Geographic
Society, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell,
inventor of the telephone, points out
some of the problems awaiting solu-
ton at the hands OF scientific men
and technical experts OF the future.
The society issues a part OF DR.. Bells
communication as a bulletin from its
Washington headquarters.
1T is interesting and instructive 10
look back over the various changes
that have occurred and trace the evo-
luton Of the present from the past,
writes DR.. Bell. by projecting these
lines Of advance into the future, you
can forecast the future to a certain
extent. and recognize some Of the
fields Of usefulness that are opening
up for the young men Of today.
I'VE have one line OF advance from
candies and oil lamps to gas. and from
gas to electricity; and we can recog-
nize many other threads of advance
all converging upon electricity. We
produce heat and light by electricity
We transmit intelligence by the tele-
graph and telephone, and we use cleo
tricity as a motive power. In fact. We
have fairly entered upon an electrical
age, and IL is obvious that the cleo
trical engineer will be much in de-
mand in the future.
"On every hand we see the substi.
tuition Of machinery and artificial mo-
tive power for animal and man power
There will. therefore. be plenty OF
openings in the future for young
bright mechanical engineers, work IN
this direction.
Fuel Running Out.
There is. however. one obstacle tC
further advance, in the increasing
price of the fuel necessary to work
machinery Coal and oil are going W

and are strictly limited in quantity.
We can take coal out Of a mine, but
we can never put it back. We can draw
oil from subterrauean reservoirs, but
we can never refill them again We
are spendthrifts in the matter OF fuel
and are using our capital for our
running expenses.
In relation TO coal and oil. the
worlds annual consumption has be-
come so enormous that we are now
actually within measurable distance
Of the end OF the supply What shall
we do when we have no more coal or
oil?
Apart from water power and tidal
and wave power and the employment
of the suns rays directly as a source
of power we have little left, except
ing wood, and It takes at least %
years to grow a crop OF trees.
Alcohol from Sawdust.
There is, however. one other
source of fuel supply which may per-
haps solve this problem of the future.
Alcohol makes a beautiful clean and
efficient fuel, and. where not intended
/ for consumption by human beings, can
be manufactured very cheaply in an
/ indigestible or even poisonous form.
Wood alcohol, for example, can be en-
/ ployed as a fuel. and we can make
alcohol from sawdust. a waste product
Of our mills.
Alcohol can also be manufactured
from cornstalks, and i'm fact, from al
most any vegetable matter capable of
fermentation. Our growing crops and
even weeds can be used The waste
products OF our farms are available
for this purpose and even the gar
bage from our cities. We need never
fear the exhaustion of our present
fuel supplies so long as we can pro-
duce an annual crop OF alcohol to any
extent desired
"The world probably will depend
upon alcohol more and more as time
goes on, and great field Of usefulness
Is opening up for the engineer who
will modify our machinery to enable
alcohol to be used as the source OF
power

graphy are proceeding with great

Few people realize what tremendous
number Of new problems are arising
daily in the various departments in
Washington, as the newspapers cannot
find room for all the governmental news.
This fact has been realized by the COM

decided TO publish a daily paper. the
title of which is Official Bulletin. IL is
published in order 20 inform the public
ON the progress Of the war and Of off.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Of
ten Rejected.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why SO many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessfu1 in overcoming these condi-
lions. The mild and heo1ing influence
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for it's
remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Rott is strictly
an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it trial. 1t
is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
Of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Ki1mer & Co, Binghamton, N.
Y, for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention The Bridge

DEFENSE COUNCIL
PRAISES COLLEGE

Hartford. Nov. 27-Through it's
chairman, Richard M. Bissell, the
Connecticut State Council of Defense
has expressed it's appreciation of the
action of the Connecticut Agricultur-
al College in offering to the council
the services Of any or all members
Of its college, station and extension
staffs to cooperate with the council
ito the fullest extent in the work for
increased food production and food
conservation in the state" Bissell
also expressed appreciation of work
done by the college along these lines
in the past.
The council, at its last meeting, re-
ceived word that the trustees of the
college had voted to suspend all new
construction work except such as is
obligatory, because of conditions due
to the war emergency and it voted
that the Connecticut State Council
of Defense approves the motives and
principles which have induced the
trustees of the Connecticut Agricul-
tural College to pass the resolution
concerning the suspension of non
essential building activities and ap-

COMMITTEE IS
APPOINTED FOR
WARSTAMP W0nK

Hartford, Nov 27-The United
States Government War Savings Plan
will soon be put in operation in Con-
necticut. This new idea provides for
loans to the federal government of
amounts as small as rs cents and in
cludes the issue of SIS interest bearing
stamps. The money invested by
this plan is a war loan to the federal
government just as much as is the
money used to. buy Liberty Bonds, and
it will be used by Uncle Sam to win
the war against the Kaiser.
Howell Cheney of Manchester, has
been appointed state director for this
work. He has announced the fol-
lowing committee which will help him
put the plan across in Connect
cut:
Howell Cheney, Ri. Rev. Chauncey
B. Brewster, Mrs. Morgan G. Bulke-
ley, Rev. DR.. H. W. Ettelson, Mrs
Henry A. Bumstead, Charles D. Hine,
E. Kent Hubbard, Edward P. Jones,
Rev. DIR. F1ave1 S. Luther, Rt. Rev.
John J. Milan, Rev. DR.. Rockwell H.
Potter, Elijah Rogers, julius Strem-
lau, c. T. Treadway.
Cheney will be aided by the follow
Light Mrs. Bernard T Williams.
Briefly, the plan is this: Thrift
stamps are to be sold for 25 cents
each. Any one who wishes can get
a government thrift card holding 16
of these stamps. When all the spaces
are filed, that is, when 81 has been
invested in thrift stamps, the card
may be exchanged by the payment of
a few cents for a SIS war savings
certificate stamp, and a new card will
be issued with spaces for 20 of these
SIS stamps. The holder may then
start second thrift card.
During the month of January,
1918, the payment required for IS
stamp, in addition to the 81 invested,
| will be IL cents, and this will in
crease one cent each month during
| the year 1918. The plan is based on
per cent. interest, compounded
quarterly, and the investment is for
| five years.
On January 1, 1928, the government
will pay SIS for each stamp which in
| dividuals had bought at a cost Of 81
plus a few cents. The war savings
certificate may be turned into money
| at any time prior to the date of ma
| turity, and the holder will receive
Dack the money invested together
| with slightly smaller interest pay
ment.
An active campaign for the sale OF
these stamps, which may be obtain
| ed at any postof1ce Or number of
| other places which will be announc-
| ed later, is to begin at once in this
state, and it is hoped by Cheney that
| in this, in all other war activities
| to date, Connecticut will set the pace
| for the whole nation.

WOMEN ARE
BOOSTING IT
You Cannot Fool the Women

Once you have shown them and
got their confidence they will stick
through thick and thin to what they
know and believe is good thing.
Hundreds of, women in our city are
going around today with JOY in their
hearts and a new lease on life and
health where before each day was
one long nervous drag Of misery"
AS one woman expressed it, It's
not the work you do, it's the way you
feel that makes the drudgery, you
cannot get ahead when you go to
bed all in, too tired to sleep and get
up irf the morning half dead. Believe
me, 1 know. I certainly was a ner-
vous wreck, every task load, no
ambition, thin, haggard and pale, an
old woman before my time. Look at
me now, some change, Ell! Work is
a pleasure. I am just babbling over
with life and good spirits, the picture
of health cheeks rosy and full of the
color that only ironized blood can
give, while my phosphate-fed nerves
are as steady as clock, nothing wor-
ries me, I sleep like a top and feel
like a girl of sixteen. Take it from
me. I want Phosphated Iron to get
credit for everything; too much can
not be said in it's praise, 1t sure is
the goods and everyone I have rec
commended it to is a booster
This is only one Of many like cases
in our city, there is no need of any
man or woman going around with
that tired al1-in feeling or any form
Of nervousness, if they will get next
to themselves, take brace, and stack
up to a package of Phosphated Iron.
1t sure will spruce you up and make
you feel like live wire once more

USE OF CHEAPER FISH

II Is to. more general use Of gray
A1ish. whiting, pollock and bake that
we must look if we wish cheaper fish
Just now.
And, despite the fact that those who
have tried these varieties praise them,
and government experts urge their use,
few restaurants or hotels can be found
using them,
There is but one way to bring about
fhair general use, and that is by ask
ing for them, Whether you are a
housswife or a diner in hotels, you
can do your bit to win the war by con-
tiuaIIy demanding these varieties.
II you are buying your Tuesday or
Friday food, ask your merchant for
eraxfish, whiting pollock, bake cusk,
shark or skate. If he says he doesn't
keep them, ask him why. Tell him
you want them.
II you are ordering fish in a restau-
rant or hotel, ask for the same vari-
cites, and insist that they be served or
provided
Ageneral demand for these cheaper
fish will, sooner or later, result in a
better supply.

ing of dyes in Great Britain and sup
plying the British trade which here
tofore had been dependent almost en-
tirely on Germany has proved very
successful according to the report of
a company subsidized by the govern
ment for that purpose. The pro-
duction of dyes continues to be linn
tied by the shortage of certain MA
terials but the supply has been in
creased during the year and the va.
riety of dyes extended: Cooperation
among dye manufacturers is urged to
increase the output of dyes and the
need of further capital is empha-
sized by the fact that the recently

show assets amounting to $4,000
coo, including cash resources of ten
millions.
