 Somewhere in France. Dear Charlie; Just a few lines to let you know that l am well and was very glad to hear the same from you.
 I have lately received all the Bul1e- tins that you nave sent and have had great pleasure in reading them. l also have been able to get in touch with Michael Adj. Rip Morgan and Irving Bogue and few other Norwich fellows who are scattered around diff ferent parts of France and hear from them quite often

 So you are getting more pay, we'll that's kind of nice. I suppose you will be a real cigarmaker some day.

Riverview, the slightly place owned at Gales Ferry by Charles H. Brown of this city, and known to hundreds of people in Norwich as a delightful plc- nic ground, has this year become regular military colony rather than the summer resort which has been in distinguishing characteristic in years past, when Mir Brown was host to many Sunday school or more private picn:cs and at the same time had considerable summer colony domiciled on the place.
 The change has all been brought about by war conditions and the prox- unity of the submarine base little farther south on the banks of the Thames river, as the Gales Ferry neighborhood provided an eligible To- cation for officers from the submarine base who wished to establish homes for their families within easy reach of the base.
 Since carly spring repairs, altera- tions and improvements have been go- ing on in the various cottages on the Riverview property of MT. Brown and the this development has been under the direction and in charge of his nephew, Carl w Brown, who removed from this city to live in one of the cot tages on the place with his family. At times MT. Brown has had as many as 23 men at a time working there under his direction as the gen.

trian newspapers were at the disposal of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Comments on food orders, their en- forcement and the practical result of their application were available from organs of all political parties, thus representing every point of view. Ma terial relating to the food situation in Hungary Bulgaria, and Turkey was much scarcer. Those parts of the bulletin which cover the food situation in these three countries are therefore less comprehensive than the parts covering Germany and Austria. As far as it was possible the material for each country covered was arranged in the following order: First an official or unofficial summary of the food siIu- ation in 1917, or both; this is followed by an outline of the food policy for the 1918 harvest reports, food orders relating to individual fOOdstuffs, com ments on and criticism of these orders and their practical application, data on the supply and prices of individual foodstuffs and their rationing, illegal procuring of food, food-card systems, measures for cheapening the food for the poorer classes, and the effect of the food shortage on the health of the civilian population.

tries covered, and on comments of the daily press and leading economic and trade journals of these countries.
 In general. the survey shows that Turkey is actually starving because cf the corruption of her own officials and the greed of Germany; that Ger many and Austria are not starving, but are having a very hard struggle to feed themselves; that Hungary IS in better shape than either Germany CT Austria. and that Bulgaria so far as food is concerned Is suffering the least of all the countries covered. The sl1rvev also shows that Germany has failed by a wide margin to live up to to her reputation for efficiency in her attempts at food administration hay ing been obliged to reverse her policies in an effort to remedy in part the fatal results of official blunders. It shows conclusively that the civil populations of Germany and Austria are suffering permanent physical deterioration rom lack of proper food. that the death rate from tuberculosis is rapidly in creasing, that growing boys and girls are not getting half the nourishment they should have, and that manual laborers gre being underfed to about the same extent.
 Politically, the most interesting thing revealed by the survey is the fact that the traditional hatred be- tween the two parts of the dual mon archy Austria Hungary has been mani festing itself in the refusal of Hun gary to share her comparative abund- ance with Austria and in the official and public resentment of that fact in the latter country.
 Profteering, greed. breakdown of transportation, and faulty organization are big factors in the food situation of Germany and her allies.

RUSH FOR LICENSES
 BY COUNTRY MERCHANTS
Floods Washington Bureau With Ap- pIications - Emergency Measures Taken.

Hundreds of small country mer- chants in Connecticut, who have just learned that they must secure a food administration license if they wish to buy eggs and poultry and sell them other than at retail, are flooding the license division of the food admins tration at Washington with applica- tions for licenses. Because of this large influx of inquiries and applica- tions, a special application form has been prepared to cover the emergency and to be used only until the regular form of application is issued. Per sons now holding food administra- ton license covering their dealings in eggs and poultry are not required to obtain a new license. There are many persons in Connecticut, heretofore ex- empt, who now under the presidents proclamation of May II and must se- cure a license to cover their small mid clemens or jobbers' transactions be- tween farmers and other retailers.
 The food administrations Jaw de- partment at Washington has informed the federal food administration for Connecticut of new ruling covering the guarantee of sales at definite prices by commission merchants handling poultry or eggs, the ruling being as follows:
 Where a commission merchant re- ceives a consignment of poultry or eggs and guarantees to the consignor a definite selling price. he must show on the account sales the actual price at which the goods are sold, together with services actually performed and expenses actually incurred, and as a separate item must show any sum paid to the consignor by reason of the com | mission merchants contract of guar anty. Failure to do this will be con-
 sidered a violation of special rule ,
 governing commission merchants, and
 also a misstatement of the price al which commodities are being sold 1T

When this tube is unframed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed deafness is the result.

ALLOTMENT CHAN GES
New Ruling By Government
Explained. Dependents
Should Read 1t.

ut is essential that every soldiers
and sailors family understand the
changes in the law and in the govern
ment procedure which will affect the
amount of the checks which they will
receive from the government from
now on" says Frederic Warehouses
chairman of the Milwaukee Red Cross
chapter.
"They should also have confidence
that if distress results in any case be-
cause of these changes in government
procedure, the Red Cross home SER
vice stands ready to relieve it. Where
necessary to prevent hardship the
Red Cross will make interim pay
ments from it's own funds until the
government checks arrive. Relatives
of enlisted men should not regard
this as charity, but as part of the re-
sponsibility which the Red Cross has
assumed for maintaining the morale
of American soldiers and sailors by
Installing them with confidence that
their families will not suffer for the
necessaries of life during their alb
sence.
every enlisted man is now required
to allot SIS to his wife and children,
irrespective of the amount of pay he
is receiving. Under the new plan,
for each man getting over $50, this
will be a reduction. If he wishes to
contribute to his wife and children
the same amount as before, he may
make q new allotment for the differ
ence through the war or navy de-
partment. For example, if he had
formerly allotted SIS to his wife and
children, and wishes to continue to
do so, he must make new allotment
Of So through the war or navy de-
partments as the bureau of war risk
insurancesWill, in the future, handle
only the SIS compulsory allotment.
If he decides that SIS is enough, the
government cannot compel him to al
lot more.

One Way Of Helping.

To help win the war conserve food,
conserve fuel, conserve clothing.
Practice thrift and eliminate waste.
ALSO CONSERVE YOUR HEALTH.
Every person who falls iii is, for the
period of his or her illness, seriously
handicapped, perhaps completely in
capacitated, so far as energetic effort
for the common good is concerned.
And the handicapping extends far
beyond the sick person himself.
1t involves the members of his fam
Ily. who will have to devote time to
caring for him, and may have their
working efficiency greatly impaired
by anxiety over the outcome Of his
illness. 1t involves outsiders, who,
i'm addition to their own duties, have
TO struggle to 10 work which he
would be doing had he not fallen i'll.
And it means an extra tax on the
strength of his physician, inevitably
heavily burdened by reason of war
conditions.
Many make themselves ill by over
eating, or by not eating the right
kinds of food. Others make them
selves ill by under-exercising, or sleep
ing too little, by being absurdly
afraid of fresh air. Illness comes I'M
necessarily to many because of a dis
regard of the cleansing qualities OF
soap and water. Neither their per-
sons nor their homes are kept as free
from dust and dirt as they ought to
be. And there are those who invite
illness by unhygienic habits of work
