A DANGEROUS TROUBLE.
Norwich People Tell How to Act in
 Time.

Kidney diseases are very dangerous. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths ths44 could have been prevented by proper treatment in the beginning. Nature gives early warnings of kidney disease-backache, twinges of pain when stopping or lifting, headaches and urinary disorders. If these symptoms are unheeded, there is grave danger of dropsy or fatal Bright's disease. Doans Kidney Pills have earned a reputation for their effectiveness in kidney trou- bles, and are known and recommended the world over Norwich testimony proves the merit of Doan's Kidney Pills to our readers.
 Mrs. A. D. Lathrop, Stanton Ave, says: T am recommending Deans Kidney Pills, because have used sev- eral other medicines for attacks of backache and found none as good as Doan's. They give great relief, always strengthening my back. I also rec ommend Doan's Kidney Pills, because I think they will help others"

The time up here goes very quickly and not slow as you might imagine. because you work hard and there is always something new happening to see and talk about. There is certainly a bunch of Ameri- can troops here and I can't see how this war is going to last so very much longer, but we are preparing for a long stay which of course is the only way to go at it. Where we are now is a very beautiful country but of course there is not much left of the towns. lii the day of peace I imagine they were very fine.

Some Experiences at the Front.

Writing to Rev. J. H. Newland Sam uel Grove of the 56th Artillery regi- ment tells briefly of experiences at the front as follows, under date of Aug ust 25
 Dear Pastor: I was glad to receive your letter two days ago along with several others and believe me it is about the only pastime we have now am on the real front now. sending them over by the hundreds, but don [ think for minute that we are not re- ceiving any. This little dugout makes "a fine protection from shrapnel but haven't had a chance to construct it properly to avoid it's caying in when our battery opens up. I had ona dug out cave in on me and my bunli. and after getting out ourselves had more of a job getting out our blankets
 The air battles are a good sight to see. I also had the opportunity of seeing them go over the top from a distance. Heavy artillery is surely heavy work but the boys are well trained and hardened to it now. It is exciting ducking into a nearby dugout when the shrapnel begins com l ing our way, three or four making a ! dive for the same hole at once The boys think more of religion here than ever before and when you hear the Lords name it is spoken with more reverence.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
Like the Fcvr+l1 of July.

Mrs. Margaret Hyde of ShetucIAt street has received the following let ter from her son Lawrence, which was written on Aug. 25:
 We are up at the front doing a lit tie work against the Huns. It's just like the Fourth of July here. Shells and shrapnel busting around you at all times. It keeps you busy ducking them. at least where I was at I was up at the artillery front for at least two good weeks and say, the artillery game isn't as soft as some people think. 1 think it is worse than the in fantry. We have lost a few men. but nothing compared with other outfits.
 There is plenty of excitement at all times up a the front. It's nothing to look up into the sky and see an air battle at any time. and see one or the other come crashing to earth and to death.
 Where l was located I saw fellow go to his death. He tried to make a good landing but he was out of luck and his partner met his death about good mile up the road. Too bad to say they were Americans They col i lided together up in the air. Why, you even can't sleep at night The Germans put over gas shells, and | then you have to put your gas mask on. One snuff of that gas and ther you will be on your way to the hos 1 pital for treatment for little while.
 In my opinion I think the war vii last up until the first of June O. course I am not authority on the sub ject. Let's hope it will end sooner.
 Don't worry over me because I an looking out for myself. so I will nov | close, hoping VOL receive this lette O. K.
 That allotment I guess you will re ceive o. K. because the first sergean of the company has attended 10 it.

Dear Folks at Home: No doubt you are wondering why I have delayed heading of this letter that we are now in action on the greatest battlefront Of the war, which, of course, you have read about in the papers. There now reached the. height of my desire, and that is to do my bit in driving back the detastable Huns
 This is the first chance I've had for two weeks to write. as we have been either busy lodging shrapnel or nov ing into new positions. We have had one gas attack, but no one was hurt Talk about noise! I surely would haVe appreciated it five years ago on the Fourth of July. but now-well, I'm getting used to it and it doesn't bother me now in the least I can see Ger nian territory from here and hope I will be on :t by the time I write next. We are living in dugouts most of the time as they are the best protection when Fritz sends over a shelling. The boys are doing wonderful work and the motto in this American sector is Heaven, Hell or Hoboken by Christ mas"
 I hope by now you have received some of my letters as I surely have written a pile of them. It must be discouraging to write so many and re- ceive so few. I am well and happy, brown as a mulatto, dead broke, but that does not matter as you could not spend money here if you had it. Now, mother, my greatest wish is that you keep from worrying for there is ahso- lutely no need of it Very. soon you will hear from me again.

 Theere has been noticeable in crease in the number of building permits issued in New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury New Britain, Stamford New Lon don Suatford and Hamden, and Springfield, Mass, during the week due to the expected restrictions to be placed on building operations. Most of Che work is for one and large npmber of garages Permits granted during the week numbered 163, compared with 14S in the cor responding week of 1917 and 1S7 in 1916. The cost of buildings for which the permits were given out | aggregated s471 $50 for the past week, $602,0OO in 1917 and s523,25C in 1916.
 Among the projects for which contracts have been awarded dur ing the week are factory building in Bridgeport, store and apartment buildings and tenement blocks in the same city; storage buildings in Hartford hospital in New London and office building in the same city and a number of one two and three -familp houses in New Haven Bridgeport, Waterbury and New i London.
 Norwich had nine sales of real es- | tate last week to IT for the same

 for the respective weeks amounted tc | $4500 and s9400.

GRoToN.

It is likely that early steps will be taken to start work on the govern ment housing plans in New London and Groton. It is understood now that S1 houses will be erected in New Lon don and 15 on the lad formerly owned by the New London Ship and Engine Co. The ground in both loea- tions has been staked off ready for opening of streets and grading, and it is expected that contracts will be let within few days for doing this work.
 Not as rapid progress is being made in the development of the housing plan as was at first expected, the ma
 tional' housing corporation evidently being obliged to go through con- siderable detail before the prelimi- naries were perfected.
