OBITUARY.
Albert Henry Dexter.

Five weeks ago Albert Henry Dexter, only son of Annie Wheeler and Byron F. Dexter, of the Scotland road, enlist ed as machinist in the naval training station at Newport and expected to get a position in the engineers de- transports. His folks were expecting him home on furlough that had been granted, but at 1.30 o'clock Friday morning they were informed from Newport that their son had died. It is supposed death was due to pneu- monia
 The deceased was born in Norwich on Sept. 20, 1896, and received a good common school education, and for IS months previous to his enlistment he was employed in the machine shop of the Baltic cotton mills and proved very capable and ambitious. He was member of the Norwich grange, Pa | irons of Husbandry, the Scotland Road Social club, and attended the Baltic | M. B. church. l MT. Dexter was member of the Eighth company of the Third regi- | ment. His star was the first on the l service flag of the machinist depart ment of the Baltic mills.
 | Besides his parents Mir. Dexter leaves sister, Miss Mabel Dexther, student at the Norwich Commercial college. The elder Dexter is boss mason for the l Ponemah Mills company.
 1 Those who knew the young man will testify to the fact that he was a most dutiful son of devoted and loving par ents and was an ideal brother. He had a winning and whole souled personal ity that made him a great favorite among his large list of admiring friends. He was the soul of honor and none knew him but to praise. He made the greatest sacrifice that can be made for his country and his mem ory will live among those who knew him well while life endures and those who dwell in the memory of their friends never die. All who know the crushing anguish of parting suddenly with a loving and devoted son and
 brother will know how to feel for tie parents and sister, from out of whose
 life passed personality at whose shrine it might with truth be said they
 worshipped, and they must be console6
 with the thought that the spirit oi
 their loved one has passed into that
 realm that has been made for those
 who proved worthy while in this land
 of sorrow and trouble.

A red rose that dribbles with mucus is an unsightly misery. A breath taint- ed with the odor of catarrh is an off, fense against all health and decency. A stomach filled with droppings from diseased nasal cavaties may cause un- told misery, and ruins the complexion. The bowels clogged with strings of ropy mucus indicates a body literally reeking with catarrh, causing ptmples, blotches and other skin eruptions.
 The blood, swarming with millions of catarrh germs, entails upon the knidneys a labor that may break them down; the lungs and bronchial tubes scourged with the destructive influence of systemic catarrh, can lead to anemia and the most serious consequences.

LOCAL STORES WILL

Merchants Deem It Advisable to En- dorse Policy of Government in Con- serving Coal.

serving Coal.
 At a largely attended meeting Of the Retail Merchants Bureau of the Nor wich Chamber of Commerce held Fri day morning, it was deemed advisable to indorse the policy of the govern ment in conserving coal and 1t was decided that the stores would close without protest on every Monday. But it was thought best to protest the ab- ruptness of the order and to endorse the action of the United States Cham Der of Commerce in protesting against the issuance of similar orders without the opportunity being given to those effected to be heard in the matter. The following letter was sent to the U. $. Chamber of Commerce in Wash iDgton: Fifty members of the Retail Mer- chants Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce of Norwich indorse the ac- | ton taken by the United States sen ate and the United States Chamber of Commerce protesting against the hur- ried decision and abrupt order issued by the National Fuel Administration (Signed)
 RETAIL MERCHANTS BUREAU OF NORWICH CHAMBER OF COM MERGE.
 Fuel Administrator Jensen was pres ent at the meeting and explained the order as it effected local retail and wholesale business houses. MT. Jen- sen said that his orders were explicit and that they would be enforced te 1 the letter and that all stores and bus I mess houses that came within the or. der would be expected to close ac- cording to the order.
 l MT. Jensen then gave a very com plete statement of the fue, situation i in Norwich and said from information he had received he had reason to be-
 lieve that local conditions would bt improved soon. He spoke of what haC
 been done. by the town officials in CO., operation with the fuel administratoi
 in establishing woodward at the plan of the Norwich Gas and Electric com pany for the purpose of furnishin:
 wood at cost to those people wht
 could not be supplied through the 10
 cal wood yards. At the conclusion 0
 his remarks he was extended a risin:
 vote of thanks for his courtesy iE at
 tending the meeting and explaining t
 the members the working of the emer
 gency order.

goods behind them mean increased prices, not increased industrial eff ciency. A man who saves money out of current income furnishes goods as well as dollars. His subscription to the government loan represents an eN- cess of production over consumption: an actual creation of capital which can De used for war purposes. If he has made money to put into the gov ernment loan by working harder, he has helped to make good the deficiency Tn labor power due to the draft.
 If. he has secured it by eating less food or burning less coal, he has in- creased the amount of food available for our troops and our allies, or the amount of coal which can be used to produce munitions.
 The ability of our troops to fight and our allies to live depends upon the willingness of the nation to pro- duco as much as it can and consume as little as it can. The margin be- tween the amount of food and fuel and clothing and other necessities of life which our non-com batants pro duce and that which they consume is a rough but fair measure of our pos- siblc fighting efficiency. For these things are the SineWS of war.

Others are making guns and anmu- hilton and aerOplancs. Still others are building ships in which to trans port men and supplies. Probably one- tenth of the total labor of the coun- try, and one-tifth of it's high grade la bor, is being utilized for war pur- poses.
 ''To prevent this loss of productive power from becoming disaster, those of us who stay at home must work harder and consume less. Ihls is the only way in which the nation can meet it's war bills. Loans and taxes may give the Government the necessary dollars. But loans and taxes will not enable us to win tho war unless they are backed up by actual savings. For the war is not won by dollars. It is won by food and clothing, by coal and iron.
 That is why man or woman who saves moneyto invest in 8 sovernm ant loan helps the country more than the bank that finances the loan, or the capitalist who sells railroad stock to convert 1t into governmen bonds. The bank or the capitalist gives the gov ernment dollars. But dollars without

BALTIMORE AFTER BIG BOUT
Willard and Colonel Miller Arrive in Maryland City and Hopes of Fight Fans Rise.

Baltimore, Md, March 21- The ar rival here yesterday of Jess Willard, heavyweight champion of the world. accompanied by his business associ- ate, "10l" Ranch Miller, raisGI hopes in the breasts of local patrons of box ing that the bout between the title holder and Fred Fulton may be staged in this city on July l.
 While the ostensiblc object Of their visit was to dispose of a number of horses formerly with the Willard cir GUS, yet the fact of Miller coming here caused q, buzz of fight talk, for it was realized that Willard could sell a few horses without the assist ance of his partner.
 When both the champion and Mil Ter announced that they would con- fer with the police officials regar ling the holding of the bout here, it cre- ated sensation, and there was scurrying about of all the promoters with a view of getting in on the ground floor. If the bout were staged here it could be held in the open air in tie ball ground, where 10000 per. sons could witness the contest.
 As fifteen rounds to a decision are permi ted in this city it is held that this would be sufficient for a danon- stration of superiority by one or he other. Ordinary bouts in the open air here have drawn from 5000 to 5000 persons. and it is declared that the central location of this city would permit of thousands of fans from all
