SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

Bugier David c. Hebert of Battery D. Seth Artillery, has written the fol- lowing letter to his parents, Mir and Mrs. Peter Hebert of Plainfield, de- scribing some of his experiences on the fighting front.
 Somewhere st the Front.
 Dear Parents: Just few words to say hello" this morning to let you know that I'm not dead or hurt yet and don't expect to be. either.
 As I am writing this letter to you I can hear the big guns roar, but hear no shells fly for the present
 The fellows. here now have holes in their knees from ducking the shrapnels as they fly past. Now these shells are queer things. If d fellow was to stand up when a shell strikes at about ten feet from him it would mean almost sure death, but if you lie down on your stomach and stick close as is always the casc in times of necessity, well we get by unhurt Of course, but the shock of the shot or shell will jar q fellow, but won't hunt him
 And we have all learned to duck pretty good. Just by the sound of the bullet of projectile zizzing througl,
  we can almost tell when to duck. will now tell you about out home here in me woods, of course I won't try to compare mine with tue one you have, but I've the best home in the whole battery and hete- is how it's made.

HE SHORE LINE ELECTRIC BY. CO., CHANGE OF FARES
WESTERLY DIVISION

The Shore Line Electric Railway Company announces that a new tariff filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission will become effective on Wednesday,, October 23rd, 1918. With certain exceptions the new rates are based on charge of five cents for a ride in single zone, seven cents for a ride through or in two zones and three cents per zone for ride in or through three or more zones. This is the same basis upon which the fares have been charged for some time on all lines of the Shore Line System with the exception of the Norwich Westerly and Westerly Groton Lines and it is upon these lat ter lines of the system that the rates now become effective.
 For a ride between Westerly and Brook St., Nosnk, the charge will be 34 cents in either direction, between Westerly and Groton 52 eents and be- tween Westerly and New London the charge will be 56 cents. These are the exceptions mentioned above. The new rates are exclusive oS the WAR TAX which wil be collected in the same manner and on the same basis as in the past.
 The TRANSFER PRIVILEGES in Westerly remain unchanged. In Nor wich a five cent fare will be coll Iected between Silk Mill and Franklin Square and passenger will be en- titled to Norwich local transfer When travelling in the reverse di- rection, Norwich local transfer wiI
 be good for a ride to the Silk Mil
 At New London a special form oi transfer will be sold for seven cents entitling passenger to ride from New
 London to Phelps and for nine eents
 entitIing passenger to ride from New London to Poquonnoc Siding on th'
 Groton- Westerly Line. The samt
 rates apply when travelling in thu
 opposite direction.

 be accepted for ride within on'
 zone. All other collections of pupils
 tickets will be half the adult fare ant
 where fraction of cent is involved
 the next highest whole nun1ser O
 tickets will be taken up. .-. F. N. , The need for the increase is tei
 well known to require any comment The increased cost of everything en terina into the transportation sert
 ice has been so great that many road
 are involved in serious financial diff faculties and the delay in applying tn
 new rate on the particular rates af

 has been swamped with application Tor increased rates, all of which ha

The aggregate of authorized capital stock for the seven new companies reported this week is only s279,000. against s6,Ss7,0o0 in 1917 and $2,- 187 900 ip 1916.
 Statistics of building operations in the larger cities show the effect of the new government sregula- tions. Permits are not only being granted for. any new con- struction and for repairs and alter ations only up. to $2, 500. The number of permits issued in Stratford was large for the past week, as it in fore the ban was imposed. Tn New Haven, Bridgeport, Watermury, Hart ford, New Britain, Stratford and Springfield, Mass, 115 permits were granted during the week, for build ings costing $196,265. These figures compare with 1T3 permits in the cor- responding week of 1917 and 235 in 1916, for buildings costing s225, 1892 and $659,05S for the respective years.
 It is impossible to chronicle new building construction of any size, as all new construction is practically suspended. Scarcely any new plans are being put out for estimates, as it is generally understood that the au- thorities will not allow the work to proceed So far the present at least it will be necessary to class the building industry as non essential The industry is one that has been hit the hardest and when it does come back and it will be one of the first to do so, it will come back the strongest
 Norwich had three sales of real es- tate last week to 15 for the same week last year. The loans for the re- spective weeks were $136,20o and $1 300.
 New London had seven sales of realty last week to IA, for the same week last year. The mortgages for the two weeks amounted to s1S,500 and s30,250, respectively.

KEEP FREE FnoM COLDS.

Above all. keep free from. colds as colds irritate, the lining of the air pas sages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vick's -VapoRub at the very first sign of q cold For head cold, melt little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale the vapoTs or better still. use VapoRub in a :benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half full of boiling water, put in half q teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and. inirsie the steam arising.
 NOTE. vick's vapoRub is the dis covery Of North Carolina druggist, who found how to comb bine, in sa1ye form. Menthol and Camphof with such volatile. oils as Eucalyptus. Thyme, Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve is applied to the body heat these ingre- dients are liberated in the form of
 Napors.
 EapoRub is comparatively new in New York state and New England and few western states. where it is just now being introduced but in other sec tions of the country it is the standard home remedy Tn more than million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jaFs were sold last year. It is particularly recommended for chil6rens croup or colds, since 1t is externally applied and therefore can be used d freely as desired without i the slightest harmful effects. Vapo Rub can be had in three sizes at all druggists.

THE TREATMENT.

Go to bed at the first symptoms. not
 only for your own sake. but to avoid
 spreading the disease to othsrs-take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food. remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, Aspirin or Dover s Powder. etc. may be administered by the paysician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or spe- cifc for infuenza-the disease must run it's course. Nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which. may arise. Tnluenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing. and sometimes Inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For the patient remain in bed until his strength returns-stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 Or not
