Judge John H. Barnes will have be- fore him this morning one of the largest Monday morning classes that has faced him in long time in the police court.
 Twenty -four names were on the book at police headquarters up to mid night Sunday, with quite wide varie- ty of charges made against those who had fallen into the tolls of the law.
 A party of state policemen arrived here in an automobile in the early part of Sunday evening and raided the sa- loon of James Mahoney at Falls ave- nue, arresting Mahoney as the pro- prietor on the charge of liquor selling on Sunday, and taking into custody eight men who were found in the place. They were all brought to police head quarters, where they secured their 1ib- erty on bonds, Mahoney at $200 and the others at $50 each. Those arrest ed as frequenters were John Donohue, Frank Perry, Dennis Shea, George Comstock, Michael Twomey, William Wallace. Edward Mullins and John F. Kelly. It was intimated in official cir cles Sunday that Mahoney had been warned not long ago that it was know, he was selling liquor on Sunday and

The local police were called in on | Sunday night at the synagogue of the Brothers of Joseph on West Main street which was started, it is claimed 1 over the attempt of members of the l firm of Samuel Belt & Sons, butchers at 10 North Thames street, to attaci Rabbi Spitz of New York, who hat
 stated to a public meeting of the syn l agogue members that the meat ths Belt concern was selling was not trut 1 kosher meat.
 | Complaint had been made, it is stat ed by those interested, that the eBi 1 firm was not selling regulation kosher l meat and the synagogue has invited Rabbi Spitz, the head rabbi in Nev
 York, here to settle the question. i The meeting proceeded quietly 8 l the outset, when Rabbi Spitz frs
 spoke in support of the Liberty bond
 and of war conditions as related t,
 the Hebrews. When he took up tn subject for which he had come her particularly and pronounced agains the meat that was being sold by Sam uel Belt & Sons, it is claimed tha

WoMEN's COMMITTEE
 SHOWS $2o4,75o TOTAL
Played Important Part in Campaign
 For Liberty Loan.

The women's Liberty loan commit l tee of which Mrs. Edwin w. Higgins l has been chairman and Mrs. S. w. Se- | win secretary, completed its labors late ] Saturday night after the final reports from the theaters had come in and made the statement that the work of the women had raised the grand total of $204,750 in Liberty bonds which had been taken by 796 subscribers.
 When asked how the campaign had impressed her, Mrs. Higgins said that she was entirely satisfied with the part that the women of Norwich had taken in the campaign just past. The one feature that stood out most promi- nently in her mind was the complete and absolute harmony that existed be- tween all committees and individuals and the eagerness with which they re- sponded to any and all suggestions of fered them by their chairman or by , the mems committee.
 The effectiveness of the work of the committee of four-minute women
 speakers was proven when it was found how few of the subscriptions | that have the stamp of women's com
 mittee were found unhonored in the banks Saturday. With the exceptio 1 of one bank the ladies followed up l these subscriptions Saturday and as there were so few to look after de- voted their time in tracing subscrip- l tions that had been obtained from | other sources. Take out your sub
 scription now and help the banks to
 carry this extra load of business" had | been the slogan of these Four Minute women, ~and their message bore fruit.
 Late in the campaign the suggestion was made that someone should look after the theaters, giving the many att tending at three places an opportu- nity to subscribe, thus following up
 closely the work of the Four Minute speakers. while the effect of their wig
 orous talks remained. Mrs. Eben
 Learned took up this work and the
 results have proved the wisdom of
 making the effort, as will be seen from
 the theater report.
 Mrs. Rosenhurg and Mrs. Levine
 continued Mrs. Higgins, solicited among the Jewish people and had be- gun what was practically a house to house campaign before the mems com mittee began on this same plan oi canvassing. To the credit of these two
 women alone stand subscriptions o1 , over s20.000
 The National Woman's Service League, Mrs. John D. Hall, president also co-operated by allowing subscrip- I1OA-o to oS te1nCh ot itF' AotE o1i IOi Q : where Miss H. M. Lathrop. who was ir charge, received 9 goodly amount. .l A committee of women under Mrs ? A. H. Chase, responded to the request of the Uncas National Bank to have z representative in the bank lobby anG the results largely exceeded the ex- pectations of Mrs. Higgins. To Miss Steiner a large amount of credit was , due for interesting the merchants o1 . the city in window decorating for Lib erty Loan day at the time of the : school children's parade. In many in stances she furnished the material fol decorating when the merchants die : not have time to look after it.

THIN PEOPLE
 GAIN WEIGHT

Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is con- tained in modern foods. To remedy this, physicians recommend plain bitro- phosphate, which is such di- gestible form of phosphate that it feeds the nerves directly, and as they gain in power, the body gains in plumpness weight and strength
 Bitro- phosphate is prescribed in stead of inferior phosphates because it is known as 2 pure, organic phos- phate, carefully prepared. You can get the genuine standard bitro- -phos- phate at Lee & Osgood's or any first class drug store
