NORWICH "OVER THE TOP';; GOING HIGHER
Actual Figures Not Obtained But Federal Agent Fisk and
 Local Chairman Butts Convinced That Town Has
 Reached Liberty Loan Quota-Out of Town Subscrip-
 tons Boost the Norwich Total.

Thursday evening they lacked s277, 900 of their quota with only two days to go. People who have watched the campaign in both cities state that the Norwich people have entered into this loan with much more enthusiasm than tIe people of New London-and yet they say New London is live town.
 $500 at the Theaters.
 An even $5oe was subscribed at the local theaters on Thursday evening, and as the Auditorium made no re- port the amount was divided between the Breed and Davis theaters, the Breed securing $50 and the Davis $350. At the Davis Edmund W. Perkins spoke and Mrs. Archibald Torrance, assisted by Miss Ruth Crawford, Miss Mary Grove and Miss Marion Shea so- lieited subscriptions. Mrs. Herman Sears, assisted by Mrs. S. Hertz and Miss Lena Shereshevsl1y were in charge at the Breed where Lee Roy Robbins was the speaker.
 Women Raise $1S6,s9o
 Tn tke success that has been made in Norwich of the patriotic response to the call for subscriptions to the Liber- ty loan, the Women's committee show that they have borne substantial part, according to figures that were announced on Thursday night by Mrs E. ". Higgins, chairman of the wo- mems committee. Directly to the credit of the drive made by the women there is a tota, of S1S6,800 subscriptions to the Liber- ty loan from 647 subscribers. There were many other subscriptions whief the women took directly to the banks without passing them through the channels of the committee.
 The total, too, would have gone higher had it not been for the hous- to house canvass conducted by thu men, for as soon as this was started | the women decided 10 relax their eff forts in pushing for subscribers; bur they gave their time to taking care O I the reports from the house to hous' i teams and each day they received th' | pledge cards and took them to tn, bank and kept a complete record O 1 everything that went through thei hands. Besides this there were womel On some of the mems teams who dii notably efficient work in the canvass

CONNECTICUT SENATORS
 FIRM AGAINST SUFFRAGE.
Give Party of Connecticut Women No Encouragenient, Says Mrs. Willis Austin.

Connecticut women who made up a party that traveled by a special train to WashIngton to interview the two Connecticut senators, Senator Frank E. Brandegee and Senator George P Mclean, on the subject of woman suffrage, found the two senators ex- tremely courteous, said Mrs. Willis Austin upon her return here on Thurs day morning, but the points of view taken by the senators were radically different, from those held by the women.
 Senator Mclean, said Mrs. Austin. maintains the vote is not priviiege but burden, practically sure to work injury to women, and he says he is not at all sure that it is a good thing for men. This country, he says, is not democracy but representative government and no democracy was in tended by those who framed our con- stitution. Senator Brandegee flouts the whole suffrage movement and most of the suffragists and made some as- founding statements. At the same time he beittles the strength and value of the movement he admits that he thinks woman suffrage is we'll along on its way. Suffragists are driven by their ideals, by their faith in justice Hot eApeolSHcy, Dy Cnelf Denef that this country stands for democracy for the liberty of self expression by the ballot, for the right of the indf- vidual. The two senators seem to have little faith in democracy and little faith in human nature. We are look i1g forward in hope of better things They are absorbed in the present, and ill-eentept with that.
 Mrs A. H. Chase, who was one of the party of 51 women, returned with Mrs. Austin. At luncheon which was held at Washington hotel sS,OG0 was raised for the suffragist cause.

CONSOLIDATION OF.
 STORE EQUIPMENT COS.
Norwich Nickle and Brass With Two
 Others Consolidate.


 The parties in interest officially an- nounce the formation of the J. R. Pal menberg's Sons Inc. (to manufacture display fixtures, figures. forms and wax fgures) composed of members of the following firms: J. R. Palmenbergs s Sons. Norwich Nickle & Brass Co.,. Jacob Kindlimann Form Co, with of fees and salesreon4s in the Palmerberg building, Nos. 63-65 West 9sth street, New York.
 The officers are E. T. Palmenberg. president; Horace D. Tracy, vice pres ident and sales manager; A. c. Porte ous, treasurer and general manager; tors. F. T. PalHlen berg, H. D. Tracy, Louis Skreud, F. A Tracy Clinton Smiley, A c. Perteous, R. T. Palmen- berg, William LEplattenier, D. E. Bueg
 F. T. Palmenberg will exercise a general supervision and keep in touch with the various departments. Louis Skroud (Jacob Kindlimann Form Co.), will have entire charge of the papier mache and wax; the metal fixture end of the business being under R. T. Pal naenbefg. R. c. QuenselI will be as sistant sales manager. The advertis- ing, cataloging, printing, etc. will be locked after by J. H. True.
 J. R Palmenbers's Sons was estab- lished in 1852 and is therefore sixty six years old; the Norwich Nickle & Brass Co, dates to 1885, thifty-three years ago; Jacob Kindlimann Form Go. started business in 1887 thirty one years ago. The consolidation of three such concerns, so long establish : ed and so extensively known has naturally aroused a good deal of in- terest, and especially at this time when window dressing and interior display are receiving the growing attention everywhere of mercantile concerns large and small. Notwithstanding the ages of the concerns named in the

Once again Norwich has been weigh in the balance and not found want ing. She has gone over the top in the Third Liberty Loan campaign and has raised her quota of $1,a51, 400, in less than the allotted time and she will keep going higher.
 While the local figures show that the city lacks sS1, ,s50 of her quota, Feder- al Agent Robert H. Fisk and local chairman, c. R. Butts, are of the opinion that outside subscriptions have been credited to Norwich by the Fed eral Reserve bank of Boston which the local committee knows nothing of. as the IibeTsy committee of New Eng land has. sent an Honor Flag to this city with the following letter: Chairman of Liberty Loan Committee,
 Norwich, Conn:
 Dear Sir =
 We take pleasure in sending you to- day by mail a Liberty loan honor flag. to which you are entitled by having attained your queta with individual subscriptions of at least two per cent of population.
 With congratulations,
 Very truly yours,
 Liberty Loan Committee of
 New .IJSldIlu.
 JOHN K. ALLEN,
 Chairman Publicity Committee. The honor flag will be raised on the court house and will be a reminder to local people that Norwich has done her bit, and on the other hand it will also tell some people that they have had no part in placing it there. There is vet time for those people to get ir line and buy a bond as Uncle San can certainly use that extra bond money the people lend him.
 The local figures at the closing o1 the banks on Thursday showed thai Norwich had raised $1,170050 and that known subscriptions which had not been recorded at the banks would make up the required amount to fll out tht quota. The subscriptions total G,26. which is 2 trifle over 20 per cent o Norwichs population. In the previou: loan Norwich's percentage was 16 ? 5.

No More Rheumatism
Torturing Pains and Swollen Joints Vanish When Rheuna Is Used.


 Vanish When Rheun1a Is Used.
 At last a real remedy for rheurna- tismI And a good one it must be when Lee & Osgood Co. and good druggists everywhere sell it on the no- cure no-pay basis
 Rheumatics should hail the news with great rejoicing, for it is surely a remarkable remedy and has a record of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga, says about it:
 T had sciatic rheumatism for two years, and tried every medicine offered for rheumatism. Tried many doctors was treated at one of the best known southern sanatoriums, and if I i'm proved any I did not realize it. I am a conductor on the Central of Georgia Railroad and had secured a pass to Hot Springs, Ark, to take treatment. About that time I saw Rheuma adver- | tised and concluded to try it. l abandoned my trip, took three bottles, and now feel as well as ever. am going to make everybody I see who has rheumatism try it. I would not take a hundred thousand dollars for what Rheuma has done for me. l would rather be dead than live as l was before the use of Rheunaa'' If you have rheumatism in any form, don't delay-try Rheuma today. A large bottle, sufficient for two weeks treatment, is not expensive and your money back if it does not give you quick and joyful relief
