QWritten Specially for The Bulletin-)
 In present day conditions of orderly and calm preparedness and making ready for possible war, there Is a thrill in looking back through hist0ry's pages at an earlier Norwich, as de- picted during the excited days follow ing the fall of Fort Sumter. As every school child knows, that was on the 14th of April, 1881, and the day fol- lowing came President Lincoln's call for 75,ooo men.
 How the two startling events were received in Norwich is told in words of fire by that faithful historian, Miss Caulkins- From a condition of out ward repose, she writes, and amid the common routine of affairs, the whole nation was suddenly aroused to a state of wild excitement. The startling fact that we were actually at war ran through the country like the rush of
 The spirited outbreak of the north in favor Of the union was spontaneous and universal A strong line was inn mediately drawn between loyalty and secession; but all other party distinc- lions and political feuds seemed for the time obliterated.
 The nation was without soldiers, without munitions of war or military equipment. but an army ieaped into existence, armed. equipped, and ready for action.
 The governor of Connecticut, when the war broke out, was William A. Buckingham, @ citizen of Norwich, who was then in the fourth year of his administration. He was well known as an earnest patriot and a staunch friend of the union and the ,a&f Sl,s ,1,Aa

Rats On the French Front.

The Allies have made little progress against their our-footed enemies. the rats. on the French front. They seem to be quite as numerous as during the second winter campaign though great numbebrs haveg been killed. They multiply faster than the numbers of dogs sent to the front to fight them and are now, 1t is said, menacing the army with an epidemic of jaundice.

Governor Buckingham's call for vol- unteers to fill the quota of Connecticut
 was issued April 16th-an evidence that the state at that time had an ex- ecutive in deed as well as name!
 In g days, 54 companies were raised in the state. offering their services for the three months: but as only three regiments were required, many of them were disbanded. But what a glorious record of readiness and patriotism for the Constitution State and it's gover- nor!

French Gold.

Two billion and fifty million francs in gold had been turned into the Bank of Frace up to December 2s. since the Beginning of the war. Nearly two billions had been received since June, 19I5 when the first real effort to mob fIize the gold of the country began. In the first month of the effort the re- ceipts ran up to above hundred millions week then dropped back gradually to an average of six mfii- ion that was maintained until the launohing of the last loan.

Of the Hartford company, the late John L.. Spalding of Norwich was the sergeant major.
 For the other two regiments, three companies were raised in the town going into service under Captains Frank S. Chester, Henry Peale and Edward Harland.

In aid of these first enIistsnents, the historian records, money was poured out like water. A large sum was raised by private subscription for bounties and equipment. The Thames bank, following the example of other monied institutions of the state, ten- dered the governor a loan of $10O, 900 for public use.

Thronss of citizens, young and old, accompanied the soldiers to their place of authorization, embracing the volun- teers and invoking blessings on them and on their cause.

# KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to irri-
tate and inf1ame, causing burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
is in constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scaIding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast, continue this for two
or three days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is a
source of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs which tnen act nor.
mally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.

have risen tremendously. In the i'm

and primary markets, says Broom
Corn Review.
Field representatives have cleaned
up in western Kansas, and late re-
ports show that only an occasional
section can be found where it is pos
sible to secure small lots. Everything
is held at high prices and trading is
principally from warehouses. Only an
occasional crop held by the farmer
and that brings as a rule a higher
price than any previous sale. One lot
of three cars was bought last week at
$275 to the grower, while a block of
$50 bales, stored in a warehouse and
owned by broom manufacturer sold
at $255. Stocks on hand are gradually
getting lower, and one estimate of the

New Way to Keep Eggs.


R. W. Dean, a Des PLANES, ILL.,,
man, has discovered new method Of
keeping eggs fresh the year round,
says st. Louis Interstate Grocer.
His formula is to pack the eggs in
olive oil or cottonseed oil and place
them in a cool place. He finds that
the oil closes the air spaces in the
egg she'll and prevents it from de-
teriorating. Confirming his discovery,
Mr.. Dean exhibited eggs which had
been laid away in olive oil for seven
months and which he stated were as
fresh as the day they were laid, by
actual test.
"The process is simple" Mr.. Dean
says. "The idea is to prevent the
egg from deteriorating. An ordinary
egg spoils because the air works
through the shell. So shut out the
air. ALI that was necessary to do
this was to place the eggs in olive
oil, cottonseed oil or a mixture Of
olive oil and pan grease of about
one to ten. The oil closes the air
spaces in the eggshell.
81 have found the oil does not
soak into the shell or faint the egg
in the least. 1t might be different if
great quantities were stored in this
way, because of the pressure, but I
don't think it would" Mr.. Dean
didn't state what the preserving of
eggs in olive oil would cost per dozen.

A good buy is not measured by
price, quantity or quality, but the
readiness with which it can be turned
into cash and profit. A bargain that
would be a real "snap" for one mer-
chant would be dead horse for an
other, because his trade would not alb
sorb it without keeping the invest
ment tied UP an unreasonable length
of time. The best buyer is not the
biggest buyer, but the most discrim-
mating buyer.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.


Butter-The local market is very
firm in sympathy with other centers,
but quotations still remain at 38@40c
for creamerieS.
Eggs-No change is noted in the egg
market as to prices, which registered
decline last week. b.
Poultry-No further changes have
been noted in poultry prices during the
week, but receipts are still rather light
and the market may be higher.
Fresh Meats-Livestock holds at
same figure as last week, while dressed
beef shows an advance of about half a
cent
Lard and Cured Meats-Lard re-
mains unchanged, while there has been
slight declines in hams, with bacon
holding at previous figures.
Hides and Wool-No further reduc-
lions in hides have been made since
that noted last week, but the market
is in very unsatisfactory condition
and gives indication of going lower
Wool holds at previous levels.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-There is practically nothing
new in the apple market. The fruit
continues to move very slow, caused by
big crop the last season and restricted
eastern shipments.
Oranges-Navels still hold at pre-.
vious quotations of 1925 for fancy and
SO for choice. The quality is getting
excellent and good business is pass
ing all the time.
Other Fruits-Lemons remain I'M
changed at $4@4.50, and there has been
no change on grapefruit, bananas nor
cranberries during the week as to
prices.
Potatoes-Market remains firm at
the advance noted last week, but the
movement is rather restricted.
Other VegetablesvCabbage and dry
onions are firmer at $3.25@3.50 per
cwt., as is also dollhouse lettuce at 81
box.
Wheat-The steadying effect notice
able in the wheat market last week de-
veloped into an advance, the market
going up lac at Chicago in two days
and then off &c. Advances of &c we're
scored on Tuesday and Wednesday and
a drop back of &c on Thursday. This
has also been reflected at Coast points
and locally, the latter quotations be-
ing $1.51 for bluestem, $1.44 for club
and SLAP for red Russian. The an
nouncement by the railroads of the re.
moval in part of the embargo on
freight has eased up slightly the situa-
ton on wheat, although there is not
much Offering for sale.
Feed-Market still holds at previous
figures with the exception of oats and
barley in car lots, which are advanced,
the former quoting at $3.50 and the
latter at $35.

calls it the leash and carry system"
If his customers pay cash for their
goods he throws off per cent. If
they carry their purchases home he
throws off another per cent. If the

that means a saving of $2.50-which
