 In retaking this village it is inter- esting to note that it was captured and a number of it's French inhabit- ants made prisoners by the Huns just four years ago to the very day, when the civilians saw they were overjoyed and some of the old women gathered in the street and sung the French an- them; another old grendrnan soon had the flag of France flying from his window.

CHAPLIN IS PRCcPERoUs-
 ONE MAN TAKES LOAN QUOTA

Connecticut has town Chaplin, wherein one citizen took the towns entire allotment of the third Liberty loan, according to Prof. Charles A. Wheeler of Storrs, director of the di- vision of granges, four minute men.
 Prof. Wheeler does not name the man who took this allotment, but ex- plains that the amount of the latter was $3,00B
 "Chaplin's official subscriptions amounted to S15,500," says Prof. Wheeler This placed Chaplin third from the top in respect to over-sub : scription among the 145 Connecticut towns in the First federal reserve dis trict The town is nearly all wood land, and the wonder to me is where the citiens raised the money. If the rest of Connecticut had equalled Chaplin's record, the states subscrip- ton would have been over' $1G0 ,000, 900 instead of s59 900 0O0.
 Chaplin has a G. A. R. coutirgeut that holds exercises of various kinds regularly. The Chaplin grange served a dinner on July that netter over $61 for the Red Cross. One of the town boys enlisted before Uncle San was in the war, became @ non com. was wounded in the leg and later lost the leg through amputation.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
 IS EPIDEMIC HERE
Many Cases Develop Into Deadly Pneumonia. Easier to Prevent Than Cure. How To Avoid.

The constant daily increase of Span ish influenza reported by local physi- clans shows clearly that many people are failing to take the simple ordinary precautions necessary to avoid infec- ton. For. while infiuerza. after it's de- velopment, is sometimes difficult to cure, it is an easily preventable dis ease.
 The best plan is to begin treatment before the first symptom starts. For no other disease will develop so quick ly or spread so rapidly. You may feel fine today-be sick tomorrow and lose 8 week or more of work. You will in- deed be fortunate if pneumonia does not develop.
 The air today is full of influenza germs Every breath you take is like lv to draw them into your nose and throat. You can prevent the disease by killing the germs before they spread throughout your body. There is prob ably no safer or surer way to do this than to go to the nearest drug store and get one of the famous Hyomei 1n-- haling Outfits, consisting of bottle of the pure Oil of Hyomei and a little vestpocket. hard rubber inhaling de-. vice into which few drops of the oil Of HyOmei are poured.
 Just breathe this Oil of Hyomei deep into your nose throat and lungs and every particle of air that enters your breathing organs will he charged with an antiseptie. germ killing balsam that will absolutely destroy the germs of influenza that have found lodgment there
 You can't do this too often. No or dinarv night and morning gargling or throat spraying will be sufficient so long as during the day you come in constaAt contact with infection. The HyoTnei inhaler is small and can be conveniently carried in 2 handbag or Vestpoclket Every half hour or so throughout the day take it out and draw few breaths of it's pure healing air into your nose and throat. By do- ing this you can prevent infection and check the further spread of the disease even though you are coming in direct contact with it. This is an inexpen- sive treatment. as the inhaler will last a lifetime and further supplies of the Oil Of HyOmei can be had at any drug store for few cents.
 NOTE: Oil of Hyomei, so strongly recommended above for the prevention of Spanish influenza is not a new dis covery but is the application of an old and time tried treatment to a new dis ease. Hyomei has been a standard in the treatment of catarrh and colds for | almost twenty years and is sold by people in Norwich and vicinity keep a Hyomei outfit with inhaler on the bathroom shelf for regular winter use If you have one. get it out now and use it. If you haven't enc. go to the near est drug store and get one today. II is the duty of every person, not only for his own sake, but for the com munity, to do all in his power to pre- vent further spread of this epidemic and to stamp it out. The Lee & Os- good Ce.

SuGoEsTloNs FOR XMAS
 PRESENTS FOR SOLDIERS

In providing gifts for the boys over seas for Christmas, it must be borne in mind that the packages are limit ed as to size and weight. The Red cross cartons are nine by four by three inches and must not weigh more than three pounds when wrap ped ready to send. According to the postal regulations certain articles are unmailable. The following is a list of the principle classes of such arti- cles.
 1. All spirituous, vinous, matted, fermented or other intoxicating liquors.
 2. All kinds of poison and all arti- cles and compositions containing poi son.
 8. Explosives of all kinds.
 4. Inflammable materials. includ- ing friction matches.
 ,. fnfernal machines and mechani- cal, chemical or other devices of com position which may explode.
 Note-Under this classification come cigarette lighters, etc. G. Liquids or liquehable articles, fragile articles and other admissible matter when not packed in accord ance with the requirements of the Postal Laws and Regulations.
 '. All other articles which may kill or in any wise injure, hurt or harm another, or damage or deface or otherwise injure the mails or other property
 Nothing should go in a Christmas Parcel which will not keep fresh from the time of packing until Christmas
 Dried fruits and other food pro2- uets should be packed in small tin or wooden boxes, one quarter to one half pound size.
 Hard candy, including chocolate would probably be safe in tin foil or heavy cardboard, but no soft choco- lates nor anything that could possibly be crushed should be used as the re- maining contents of the package might be spoiled thereby. Severa dainties packed in oblong tin boxes holding each a quarter of pound will provide a better variety for g | packet than a larger quantity of g single confection. No liquids nor articles packed ir glass should be placed in the pack | age.
 For wrapping the gifts, use a khak colored handkerchief, twenty sever inches square.
 | It is suggested that all those ex pecting to send Christmas packets overseas, cut this list and keep it al a help in making their preparations It is printed thus early for those wh' may care to make early plans but tn cartons will probably not be here fo another week. e

 Dear Ed: have received several letters from home recently and was very glad to hear from you and the family.
 "Over here." as you have undoubt edly read, we have becr very busy, yes damn busy and it's hard work sonie times, but it is a pleasant satis- faction to know that we are driving the Huns off their feet and making life in general miserable for them.
 They sure have been doing some speedy retreating. At one point in a heavy wood In<ay machine guns open ed up and rut up a stiff resistance, but when one of our trench mortar companies got in action we made them quit and out they came, prisoners. led by their commanding officer a big, seven foot Frussian. who looked like old Hinderburg himself. Advancing again we chased the Huns through the woods e,H night, capturing them and everything else we come across, including a few auto trucks and one new auto ambulance containing some very valuable medicines and surgical instruments.
 On reaching the clearing at the end of these woods we saw sight that we will long remember: for here was a large village in flames and 0n the sur rounding hills and in the valleys other villages were blazing and illuminating +j1n ~l,S- fot. rojlaG 9rornd

eRANDEGEE IS FOR
 UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

q regret exceedingly that the Pres ident allowed himself to be drawn into the correspondence which he is conducting with Germany" Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut said. "I do not consider as of great impor- tance what Germany says under present stress. If she wants peace all she has to do is to stop fighting do not approve of negotiated peace, or a peace the conditions of which are to fixed by Germany
 "America's only condition should be 1 Germany's unconditional surrender. The destruction or surrender of the l Teutonic armies and navies is the l only guarantee of a secure and en- l during peace.
 If Germany has set up a new gov ernment and that new government decline to surrender it's army and navy, then 1 favor continuing the war against that new government. There will be no change of heart in Ger many as long as it's army is able to keep the field. If Germany is allow ed to take it's army back into Ger many and keep its navy and then | peace is made Germany will boas that she is invincible.
 "She will say that she was able tC fight the world in arms for four years without being whipped. and that 1T all the time no foe had ever set foo upon her soil. Under these circum. stances Great Britain, France Italy Belgium and the United States would not dare to demobilize their armie. or navies. The fight would be draw. In other words the war would be lost
 '"The President may lay down a many conditions as he pieases ant the astuto jugglers of Berlin vii probably accept them all-on paper
 ",The only condition they viii no as yet accept is the only one whicl will satisfy America and the Allies and that condition the President ha hitherto refrained from imposing-t
