Easy Way to Kill
Rats and Mice

There is no need Of suffering from
the depredations of rats and mice
now that Stearns' Electric Paste is
readily obtainable at nearly every
store. A small box of this effective
extermniator costs but a few cents
and is usually sufficient to completely
rid the house, store or barn of rats
and mice. The U. S. Government has
bought thousands of packages of
Stearns Electric Paste to extermin-
ate rats and mice. The Paste is also
efficient in destroying cockroaches
yand waterbugs.

Quincy Still Plague Stricken.
Quincy continues to be plague
stricken city. In one day 161 new
cases were reported there, with the
total running into the thousands.
+ Moreover, it has been established
that not nearly all the cases are re-
ported by physicians, and the ILL
nois state board of health has taken
action to cure this evil. Quincy doc
tors say they do not have time to
file reports, but the state board of
health has given them imperative
orders to do this, and it controls
their licenses to practice.
The Quincy mayor is charry about
stopping assemblages of people In
churches and saloons. but has finally
arrived at the stage of preventing
public funerals.
He has secured a thousand doses
of the new preventive vaccine dis
covered in the Mayo laboratories at
Rochester. Also he has telegraphed
for more nurses. Quincy doctors and
nurses are worn out, and one physi-

Madison, so bad has the epidemic be-

1t passed a resolution calling on
the mayor to stop special sales in
stores which attract crowds. Mayor
Smith complied at once.
Definite figures from Fort Madison
are impossible to obtain, as the doc
tors are not reporting nearly all the
cases to the mayor and what are re-
ported are carefully concealed by the
officials and newspaper up there. This
indicates that the truth about the
Fort Madison epidemic would be
alarming, If 1t were known.

Norwich bulletin., 1918-07-16

Bridgeport through Waterbury to Great Harrington is in good condition excepting for short distance at Sey- mour where the main road is under construction. the detour Is just as good as the trunk line.
 There is very little construction in progress on roads running to the Berkshires with the exception of short section on the Under Mountain Road between Salisbury and South Egremont. A good detour is pro- vfded. The Monument Mountain Road between Great Burlington and Stock bridge is under construction and closed, but good route is provided via Van Deusenville and Glendale which practically parallels the closed road. The Air Line route between Waterbury and Boston, via Hartford, Willimantic and Providence, is in ex- cellent condition excepting for a short stretch entering West Hartford where good hard surfaced detour is pro- vided.
 The Jacobs Ladder route from Lenox te Springfield is in good condition all the way. The Mohawk Trail between North Adams and Greenfield is also in fine shape, as whole, although | somewhat rough for short distances.
 The Connecticut Valley route is all | improved from Long Island Sound to within short distance of the Canadian border, excepting at TWO points where work is in progress: CD | between Warehouse Point and Enfield (mentioned above); @ between Say brook and Middletown. The motorist may avoid the latter by going from New Haven to Middletown or from New London to Hartford via Willi- mantle, The cross connection be- tween Providence and Worcester via Woonsocket is in good condition. | Very little change is noted in road conditions on Cape Cod Excellent surface is found from Providence down the south side of the Cape to | Provincetown and also for the return via the north side and through Ply mouth to Boston. There are also a number of good cross connections | which are hard surfaced.
 The surface is improved and in good condition between Boston and Portsmouth via Salem, Newburyport and the Shore Road, and the same conditions exist on the Newburyport Turnpike.
 The Greenfield Boston route wit FItchburg is somewhat worn and there are some rough stretches The Wor- cester- r-Newburyport route, via Clin- tOH' "SAI anu Ld dWIeHCe, IS mostly in good condition with the execution of some construction which is in | progress between Worcester and West l Boylston, where short detour is necessary.
 New Hampshire.
 All three New Hampshire trunk
 lines-the Connecticut Valley route, i the Merrimac and Pemigewasset Val l ley route (from Boston to the White | Mountains via Franconia Notch). the Ossippee Valley route (from Ports
 mouth through North Conway and Crawford Notch to the White Noun
 tains), are in good shape at the pres
 ent time with very little construction 1 going on. On the Ossippee Valley route the bridge is down between
