A person has health and strength
in just the proportion that the vital
organs perform their functions pro-
perly. There is something radically
wrong when one feels tired and dis
couraged, unfit and unwilling for
their daily work. Humanity was
never intended to suffer with head
aches, coated tongue, pain in the back
or stomach, hollow eyes, pimply skin,
yellow complexion, weak nerves and
the many symptoms attending the
half-sick conditions which attack so
many people. They are not sick
enough to go to bed and not really
well enough to be at work, so they go
on trying to keep, their place in a
busy work-a-day world where people
in half health stand but little show
All the time some chronic disease is
making deeper and deeper inroads,
until in some cases they are past cur
ing, then they wake up when it is for
ever too late.

EPISCOPAL WOMEN ASKED
 TO PRAY DURING ADVENT

Bishop E. Campion Acheson has sent out to the Episcopal clergy of the dio- cese of Connecticut 8 letter reminding them of the plan of the Board of Mis- sions to extend to the women of the church an Advent call for an offering of united prayer. The idea was pro- posed and accepted at a meeting of representatives of all diooeses held in the Church Missions house, New York, last May, and the idea is ito get the the power of prayer behind the strug- themselves how to render more con- the kingdom of God"
 The methods suggested in Connecti- cut are for the rector or minister in charge of each parish to get the wom- en of the parish together for prayer; to make out a list of all women con nected with the parish, and to assign a list of names to each worker, who will call upon such persons during the week of Dec. Is, leaving with each a booklet of prayers to be provided and asking the person to use these prayers daily; to begin this work of visita- tion in some suitable manner, as by a celebration Of holy communion or a meeting for special prayer; to have, wherever it is possible during the week, a special place where prayer may be continually offered by those who desire so to serve; and to make
 a special effort to reach all those who through infirmity, are unable to attend church services.

WAR DRIVE IMPORTANCE
 EXPLAINED BY BISHOP MILAN

Through a circular letter to the pas tors of the Catholic parishes in the state Bishop Milan sets forth the i'm portance of the coming United War Drive. This letter was read at all the masses Sunday at the bishops request and the matter is to be brought to the attention of the peo- pie again next Sunday. With char acteristic vigor and directness the bishop explains the obligation of those at home to give literally toward this fund for the comfort of the men in service, even though such giving en- tails personal sacrifices.
 At St Patrick's church the letter was read and commented on at the three masses Sunday. At the high mass at 1O,30, Rev. Myles P. Calvin expressed the hope that every member of the parish who could possibly do so would give generously, not alone of money but of service, in case call ed upon to assist in any other way.

LIEUT.. JAMES MURPHY
 WRITES FROM THE FRONT

The following extracts from a re- cent letter from Lieut. James NJ. Mur- phy, by his parents. Mir. and Mrs. Charles o. Murphy of 20 Central ay- enue, will be of interest at this time as it makes reference to the measure of opportunities which rhe boys lover there" have for the war relief work of the several agencies that are rep resented in the United War Work campaign.
 Lieut.. Murphy enlisted at Boston at the outbreak of the war, trained at Camp Greeuleaf, Ga, and has seen several months service overseas. For some time he was in charge of hos pital sunit near the fighting line, but within a short time he has been as signed to take charge of a new hos pital camp on the coast that is being developed and which when completed will be hospital for 3GO beds. He writes as follows:
 Received your letter this morning and am glad that everyone at home is well Things are going well at the front and the cry for peace is sweet music to our ears. I do not sup pose peace will be granted yet, but it is not far off. The French are will ing to wait and continue with us un- til we make the Huns lay down their arms in unconditional surrender. And that is not far away.
 | 1 hope the news of Bob F1etcher's S death Is unfounded: knew him quite well; a very fine fellow. Ilorwich has been quite fortunate, so far. We have had little to bear compared with the great number of deaths ir certain oth- CT cities. New England boys, up to the present, have borne the brunt of the fighting, especially our old Nation al Guard divisions. Now the National Army is getting active and men from ether section are doing a goodly share.
 We have q K of c. hut alongside of our camp and the boys all speak well of the way in which it is conduct ed. Everyone also speaks we'll of the Salvation Army work. The hoys com ing back from the front sing their praises. God help anyone who ever insults Salvation Army lassie in the states when the boys come hack. Their chief occupation is the making and distributing of pies and coffee at the front, all of which is gratis.
 The Red Cross is also doing great work here and the calls for their services are increasing ali the time. They have their hospital work and care of refugees. All of these organizations arc doing won derfuI work. We over here in France
 realize that we are not the cnes who
 are fighting this war, but the people
 behind us, who are sending us the wherewithall We are well cared for 1 in fact all of our men are cared fol l the best of any army in the world You don't need to worry about us
 over here, we're all right. Much lovt
 to all of you at home. | I'M.
