Several Garages Being Bu1t in Norwich

With the coming of peace the gov ernment ban on extensive building was one of the f1rsS things to be lifted and now manufacturers and others may erect new buildings or additions up to $10.000 without a government permit. The permits have heretofore been issued by G. w. Carroll, IT,, local chairman of the Non War Construc- ton Board, but now Fire Marshal Howard l.. Stanton will issue permits for construction that does not exceed $10,000 in value. This modified ton of he ruling may have considerable ef- feet on the future building but prob ably there will be no noticeable in crease in local operations until the spring.
 The house recently purchased by Alex Pasnik on Williams street has been undergoing extensive changes and is now ready for occupancy. Mr Fasnik will move into his new house this coming week.

SPORTING NOTES.

According to Scout Eddie Herr, late of the St. Louis Browns, who made the rounds of the Pacific Coast league last summer, the new York Yankees drew a star battery in the draft when they selected Frank O'Doul from San Francisco and Earl Baldwin from Salt Lake. Herr thinks John Humpell in duced the Yankees to put in the drafts The judgment of the scouts may be in all right, but will the play CTS ever be seen on a major league diamond?
 Mike Cantillon, former American Association magnate, who got from under the Minneapolis club early last season, has gone from San Francisco to Los Angeles, where, it is stated, he will make his home, and already there is talk that he may come back after the war as the owner of one of the Pacific Coast league clubs that represent Los Angeles in the crcuit. :: Jack Dempsey, the contender for the worlds heavyweight title, recently de- clared that if the decision of the judge who tried the case in Milwau- kee in which John Reisler was suing Dempsey for s100,000 for not living up to the contract he had made with him to be his manager, should be decided in Reislers favor, he will quit the boxing game sooner than have Reisler as his manager.

of last year. What effect the new peace conditions will have on the real estate business is a Noblem, but with" out doubt it will lead to increased ac- tivity, particularly while the situation in the building trades remains as at present.
 For the second week no petitions in bankruptcy were filed in this state The second week in November has not for many years made a very high rec ord in business failures and business mortality seems to have reached a gratifying low level so far this month.
 New interpretations in this state for the week make an unusual record for these times. Six new companies have been formed, with authorized capital stock of more than five millions. This record is greatly in excess of any sim liar week for a number of years past
 The volume of building permits for the week is unusually light. In New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Water bury, New London, West Haven, Ham den, Stratford and Springfield, Mass, but S3 permits were granted for the week against 127 in the same places year ago, and 261 in 1917, for buildings costing $369,162 for the past week, $546,9S in 1918 and S946,631 in 1917. Had it not been for permits granted in Waterbury for houses to be erected for the government, it would have been one of the leanest weeks on rec ord. With notifications of present restrictions on building it is certain that many projects which have been held up by war conditions will go ahead, and, if the weather is not too severe, there will at once be a material increase in the volume 0f building business.
 Norwich had 27 sales of realty last week to 20 for the same week last year. The loans for the respective
 weeks totalled $3O,342 and $272,55s. In New London there were 10 sales of realty last week to 15 for the same week last year. The loans for the re- spective weeks were $24,750 and $31,- | 800.

PROVEN SWAMP-R00T
 AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and blad- der troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in a run down condition. The kidneys seem to sui fer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neg lected, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp root which, so many people say. soon heals and strengthens the kidneys, is a splendid kidney, liver and bladder medicine, and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed in most cases by those who use it.
 A trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Better get a bottle from your nearest drug store, and start treatment at once.
 However. if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents 10 Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton. \. Y,, for a sample bottle When writing be sure and mention the Nor vich Daily Bulletin.

prescribed by the Federal regulation, the season in that State is just so
 much further shortened Special attention is called to the fact that the Federal regulations do not authorize anyone to hunt or kill migratory birds
 contrary to the State law.
 In certain States, as for example,
 Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas. Ken
 lucky, Missouri and South Dakota, the
 season for shooting migratory water
 fowl under the State law would open
 prior to the date of opening under the
 Federal regulations were it not for
 the fact that the Federal regulations
 supercede State laws in such case of
 conflict.
 Under the migratory bird treaty act
 regulations it is lawful to hunt water fowl (eXcept wood ducks, cider ducks and swans, for which there is no open
 season., rails coot, gallinules. Wilson snipe or jacksnipe, black bellied and golden plovers, yellowlegs, woodcock and mourning or white winged doves during the open season prescribed by the regulations. The several states, however. are authorized under the treaty act still further to protect mi gratory birds.
 Under the treaty act and regula- | tionS the sale of all migratory birds other than propagated waterfowl, is prohibited throughout the United i States except for scientific or propa- | gating purposes.
 | Maximum bag limits are also ore
 scribed and, when permitted by State law, two days limit of migratory
 birds may be shipped or transported
 from one State to another in calen- dar week.
