York Physicians Who's Who" says: "Bitro- Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hos pital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood.'
 Jos. D. Harrigan. Former Visiting Specialist to North Eastern Dispensa- thin, nervous, anaemic, or. run down, take a natural. unadulterated sub stance such as bitro- phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing results in the increase of nerve ener- gy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance"
 Bitro- Phosphate is made entirely of the organic phosphate compound re- ferred to in the National Standard Dispensatory as being an excellent tonic and nervine and a preparation which has recently acquired consid- erable reputation in the treatment of neurasthenia. The standard of ex- cellence, strength and purity of its substance is beyond question, for every Bitro- Phosphate tablet is man. ufactured in strict accordance with the U.s s. Pharmacopoeia test re- uuirements. Bitro-Phosphate is there fore not a patent medicine and should not be confused with any of the secret nostrums, so-called tonics or widely advertised "cure-alls."
 CAUTION: --- Although Bitro-Phos. phate is unsurpassed for relieving ner. vousness. sleePiessness and general weakness. owing to its remarkable flesh growing properties it should noa be used by anyone who does not dealre to put on flesh.

STATE GUARDS TOOK
 AUToMoRILlSTS' NUMBERS

Very few automobiles were out Sun day in this section of the state, and most of those were on legitimate busi- ness. The State guards were stationed at two points on the New London Norwich turnpike. Two guards were stationed at T=2Aing Cove and two at Quaker Hill, All motor vehicles were stopped by the guards and each driver of the machine was required to show his license and give his reason for be- ing on the road with his machine. His name. operators license, number and registration number were taken, no matter what his reasons were. Some of the people were glad to stop and give the desired information, while others were rather peeved and some even tried to run by the guards with out stopping. One guard that had been stationed at Quaker Hill all day said that he had taken only about 40 numbers up to o'clock Sunday after noon.

ARMY TRAINING
 CORPS AT HOLY CROSS

Local Holy Cross alumni bSive re- ceived the following war bulletin:
 In accordance with the plans of the War Department, August 2S. 1918, a Students Army Training corps will be established at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts on or about October l. 1918.
 Admission to the S. A. T. C. is "con- fined to students graduated from a standard four year secondary school or having equivalent education quail flcations." AS the courses to be giv- en in the s. 4. T. C. are prescribed by the War Board and arc not the usual courses pursued in the college, entrance requirements to the s. A. T. c. are satisfied if the student is a graduate Of any standard secondary school However, this course does not lead to a degree. for fin view of the comparatively short time during which most of the student soldiers will re- main in college and the exacting mili- tary duties awaiting them, academic instruction must necessarily be mod flied along lines of direct military value
 As soon as possible after registra- tion day, September 18th, 1918. stu dents eighteen years off age and old CT at the college will be given the op- portunity of voluntary induction into the Students Army Training corps. The student by voluntary induction becomes a soldier in the United States Army, uniformed, subject to military discipline. and with the pay of private. Officers, uniforms, rifles and such other equipment as may be available will be furnished by the war department. In view of the fact that the student soldiers will be on act5%e duty statu< from the time they are indueted, the government will as- sume the expense of housing, sub sisterlce, and instruction of the stu dents. They will be given military instruction under the officers of the army and will be kept under obser- vaiion and test to determine their qualifications as officer candidates and technical experts such as engin- eers, chemists and doctors. It can 1 not be definitely stated how long a student will remain at the college This will depend on the requirements of the mobilization and the age grour to which the student belongs. Students must pay their own ex- 1 penses from their registration in the college on Sept. 18th to Oct. 1st, for if l order to be accepted in the S. A. T. C they must first be enrolled as college students.
 1 In addition to the course prescribed 1 by the war department the regular classical course will be continued fol l students under eighteen years of age or fo rthose who may not be admitted to the S. A. T. c. However, those wht wish to enter the classical course mus meet the usual requirements, as spe 1 cified in the catalogue.
