INCREASE DIVIDEND ON STOCK
Windham County National eank Re- ports Prosperous Six Months Bus- iness-Direetors Advance Rate to Per Cent,

The directors of the Windham County National Bank have reported an increase in their dividend rate on their capital stock to per cent, in line with the usual conservative and progressive methods which have been characteristic of it's present board of directors. The bank ranks as one of the oldest institutions in the state, having been incorporated under state laws in 1922 and converted to a na- tional bank in 1865.
 It is officered by men of proven business training and ability and the citizens of Danielson and vicinity take a great deal of pride in referring to the strength, as exhibited by the semi annual statements published regularly ~y the institution.
 The directors also advise. that after declaring this increase in dividend a very substantial amount has been added to the surplus. The bank prob- ably shows the greatest increase in deposits and in earning capacity of any institution in eastern Connecticut and Danielson is fortunate in having such a sound financial institution.
 Deposits in the savings department gre unusually well protected because in addition to the banks capital and surplus of over S106,000 there is a stockholders double liability of $50,- 0G0, making in all over S150.000 pre- lection to depositers, greater in pro- portion to deposits than that of any other banking institution in the town

suFFRAeIsTs SAW MIR. sEARLs
Secured Promise to Have Resolution Brought to Attention of Convention Committee.

By appointment, about 30 women equal suffrage organiza- tions in nearly all the towns of Wind ham county met Hon. Charles E. Searls at his office in this city Mon day afternoon and through their speakers stated to him their desires as regards suffrage resolutions at the republican state convention to open in Hartford today.
 The delegation addressed Mir. Searls as a member for the 18th district of the resolutions committee of the con- vention.
 Mrs. F. U. Johnstone, South Wood stock. leader of the suffrage organiza- tion in the 2Sth district, made the opening statement for the women. She was followed by Mrs. F. c. Kit cheit. who went more into detail as to why the women of Connecticut are at this time urging action for their enfranchisement. The general theme of Mrs. Kitchelt's talk was suffrage as a war measure. Mention was made of the number of countries that have enfranchised their women and of the justice of the cause for which so many Connecticut women are plead ing. Attention was also called to the fact that suffrage legislation as now pelOfe congress mas ldfSely com manded republican support, five -sixths of the house members voting for the Susan B. Anthony amendment when it came before that body some time ago. Full credit. however, was given to President Wilson for the attitude he has taken in favor of passing the pending legislation.
 MT. Searls was told by the delega tion that the women would like a pro- suffrage resolution in the repub lican. state platform in Connecticut and the federal suffrage movement en- dorsed.
 After the interview one Of the dele gation stated that the women had been very cordially received by MT Searls. This leader quoted MT. Searls as having told the women that he was glad they came and. that he would take the message they had brought him to the committee on resolutions at the republican state convention. They also quoted Mr, Searls as saying that his views on suffrage have been un- dergoiug change. but did not de-

THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE
 SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE

Weak. thin people-men or women are nearly always nervous wreeks, thus conclusively proving that thin ness, weakness. debility and neufas- thenia are almost invariably due to nerve starvation. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve. starvation will disappear
 Eminent specialists state that the best nerve food is an organic phos- phate known among druggists as Bitro- o-Phosphate. a fve-grain tablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and not Bitro- Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer and the results following its use are often simply astonishing.

 This is a remarkable record in the limited field in which MT. Clark is per- mitted to work and is an example of patriotic effort, combined with oppor- unity, that puts him in the very fore front of the star saIesmen among the letter carriers of New England when it comes to placing thrift stamps.
