WAR AFFECTS BUILDING OPERATIONS
Contractors Report that People Are Not Building as in Years Previous Garage to Be Erected on Harrison Avenue
 Other Building Activities in Norwich and Vicinity.

Since the beginning of the war To- cal contractors report that building contracts have diminished gradually until at the present time there is lit tie work in sight except few repair jobs and some small contracts such as garages and other small buildings. They say that as the government is trying to discourage extensive build ing during the war people have dis, continued building. The scarcity of labor is another problem that the building contractors have to contend with and although the day laborers are in lire now there is lack of skilled labor as many of the men have gone to cantonments where they are ccnstruct!ns barracks and other gov ernment buildings. The last month has seen the greatest decrease in building of any of the previous months and at Chief Howard L. Stanton's of fee there has been a decided falling eff in building applications.

FRESH AIR CHILDREN
 WILL COME HERE
From New York City Through Plan Supported by the Tribune.

Mss Walmsley. who is travelling through Connecticut in the interests of the fresh air fund supported by the New York Tribune, held a meeting with her local committee in the Wau regan hotel parlors on Monday after noon, when plans were discussed for giving some of the little New York waifs a two weeks vacation.
 It has been decided that July 9th is the best date for the arrival of the children who will be taken into Nor wicrh homes and that they are to re- turn on July 23d.
 It is distinctly to be understood that only what are called well children will be sent, all vouched for by the settle ment workers; each child will have a thorough physical examination A hours before leaving New York, so that they are all guaranteed to be healthy and sound. The youngsters bring their own clothes and come tagged, with the name of their tenn porary host written on the tag, besides | their own, so that there is no confusion when the train arrives.
 Miss. Walmsley has been thoroughly combing the state east of Hartford nam, Willimantic, Leffingwell Han
 
 ] TaftVille are some of the districts which are interested in placing the lit | tie ones In some towns those who wish to help the cause but cannot ac- commodate child are paying the l nominal sum of S6 to some competeni woman who is willing; to provide a i temporary home but not financially able. -v
 There is an especial need for some ! good vacaticn homes for a number o1 colored, children and it is hoped that some of the negro citizens of Norwich will feel that they can help out. A sight of the green grass and { real live COW or chicken is a great trea to these little city dwellers in thu congested New York districts.
 The Tribune hopes to place 1,50t ] more children than usua4 makin; l about 12,000 in all. Saving the. chil dren is a personal practical servie, of which people are more and nor seeing the need. This brief stay il the country changes the entire view point of many a. child whose horizon has been bounded only by a. block 0 tenements, on a sizzling city street and they bring new visions of bette things back with them There ar more Jewish and Roman Catholi I children than any other denomination though nearly all nationalities are rep resented. The Tribune fund is tn clearing house" of all sects and n distinctions of race or creed are allow ed. It is hoped that all the churche in town will exploit this cause an assist in helping to place. as man children as possible. The name Of th first person who has agreed to take on
 of these little Eaifs is that of Mrs Ottaviano of Washington street,
 member of the Central Baptist Sun
 day school, who has offered a hom
 for two weeks to some little Italia from New York.
 The local committee whose slogan. i I to do the very best they can. is a follows: Mrs. George H. Strous chairman, Mrs. Arthur Harvey Ia throp, Mrs. Arthur M. Thompson, Mir
 John P. Huntington, Mrs. Agnes Lea hy, Mrs. Rosenberg, Miss Halperl Miss Eva Goldberg. Mrs Charles (

FOR INDIGESTION
Lee < osgood Co. Have Treatment That They Guarantee to Promptly Relieve All Stomach Distress.

People go on suffering from little stomach troubles for years and inag- inc they have a serious disease.
 They overeat or overdrink and force on the stomach lot of extra work.
 But they never think that the stom- ach needs extra heips to do extra work.
 If these people would take Mi,o-na tablet with or after meals it would be great big help to the stomach in it's strain of overwork.
 Mi-o-na tablets help your, tired-out stomach to do it's work and banlshes the cause.
 No. matter what you eat or drink, Mi -o-na tablets should sweeten, your sour stomach and stop gas belching in 10 minutes. The heayiness disappears and the stomach is greatly aided in it's work of digestion. cs And Mi-o-na not only promptly re- lieves all distress but if taken regu- | larly will absolutely banish indigestion by building up the f1abbys overworked walls of the stomach and making them strong enough to digest the most 1 hearty meal. Lee & Osgood Co. sell 1 and guarantee Mi-o-na.

for it's manufacture is imported. II millions to Straits Settlements, which supply an even larger quantity of the tin used in the manufacture g million lbs. to China, 49 millions to Japan, millions to Asiatic Russia, while even the United Kingdom, which ranks next to the United States as a manufacture of tin plate. took in 1916 54 million lbs. of our out put and in 1915 26 million lbs.
 Prices of the tin imported for use in the manufacture of tin plate have steadily and persistently increased not only during the war period but in the dozen preceding years, this in crease in price being apparently due in part at least, to the increasing de mand which has more than kept pace with production. The worlds outturn of tin has increased but about 50 per cent. since 1900. while our out turn of tin plate has trebled in the same period. The prices paid in the United States for imported tin have advanced from less than 13 cents per h. in 1897 to 27 cents in 1900;36 cents in 1911, 46 cents in 1913 and B cents per ID. in December, 1917, these figures being in all cases prices in the coun- try from which the tin is imported into the United States.
 Most of the tin imported originates in the Malayan Peninsula the worlds largest producer of tin. Certain o1 l the Dutch East India Islands in the | same general section of the globe also supply considerable quantities of tin some of which is shipped thence to the
 Malayan Peninsula for remelting and
 transportation. Hongkong is also ex. | porting comparatively small quantities
 of tin, produced in China, and Grear Britain produces tin from her mine.
 in Wales. but not sufficient for he | domestic use. Bolivia has been fo
 many years a producer of tin, her out put representing about 20 per cent 0
 the worlds production. and havin!
 been in the past exported in the form
 of concentrates to Europe for smelt 1 ing, but at present part of it ii
 being brought into the United State for smelting and sale to the tin plat

What was probably the largest brook
 trout caught in waters of this vicinity
 this year. if not for several years, was
 taken in a Waterford, stream Saturday afternoon by Mrs. Malcolm J. Nolan of this city. The fish measured 16 inches in length and tipped the scales
 at exactly two pounds when weighed about an hour after capture. It was 10 inches in girth. The take was
 made with a light split bamboo rod and a single snelled hook of unusually light wire,' which broke after the fish
 was landed Mrs Nolan. who was
 fishing the brook with her husband was out of the 1atter's sight when the big fellow took the lure and negotiated the difficult job of landing him without net and without assistance, though this is her first season as a trout angier.-1New London Telegraph

IMPORTS oF>TtN.
How Much Che United States Depends
 Upon Foreign Producers.

The practical suspension Of the i'm portation of" pig tin into the United States; affects an industry, turning out at the present time over f10000o, 900 worth of products. All of the tin used in the manufacture of the $1G0, 100000 worth of tin plate now pro- duced in the United States is i'm ported, more than 90 per cent. of it originating in the Orient, and with the partial suspension of shipments from that part of the world, recently announced, the United States becomes more dependent upon it's South Arneri- can neighbor, Bolivia, which produces about 20 per cent. of the worlds tin and is practically the only world pro- ducer of tin outside the Orient.
 While we consume about one half of the worlds tin, all efforts to, de yelop a successful tin mining industry in the United States have thus far proved unsuccessful. Small quanti- ties have been found in Alaska and smaller quantities in other parts of the. United States but not enough to supply even one per cent. of the large and steadily increasing quantity re- quired by our tin plate and other in- dustries. The quantity of tin imported into the United States has grown from 70 million lbs. in 1900 to appro5i mately 1S0 million lbs. in 1917. The value of the 1900 importation was 1e million dollars and that of 1917, 6S million dollars, the price per pound having also greatly advanced during | the period in question. A coTnpila,- ton by The National City Bank o1 New York shows that the sums oi money sent out of the United States for the purchase of tin since the be- ginning of the tin plate industry 1T 1893, having aggregated approximately | 700 million dollars About 90 pel cent. of the tin imported is used 1T the manufacture of tin plate.
 During this period the quantity O tin plate produced in this country ha: 1 grown from 42 million lbs. in 1892 t 1 billion lbs in 1903, ? billion lbs T | 1912, 1,845, ,000, 900 lbs. in. 1914, and 2,
 66,000,000 lbs. in 1916. The value o
 the output of tin plate is stated b, the census of 1899 at g million dol
 lors and for 1914, 6S million dollars making it apparent that the annua value now exceeds $100,000, ,9e0. .sAbou

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
 CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure ca tarrhal deafness. and that is by a con stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an unframed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachdan tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result. Unless the in fiammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed condition Of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces Of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of catarrhal deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh gists, 75c.
