Burlington in Grip of Flu.

An epidemic of the flu has broken
out at Burlington and already IA cases
have developed. The public schools,
churches and all places where people
congregate have been closed. It is
hoped that by these means the spread
of the disease may be checked. The
big bazaar which was to have been
held this week by the Burlington
Ladies Aid has been postponed. There
is a rumor current in Minct to the eff
feet that the epidemic at Burlington
is being followed by the dreaded
Sleeping sickness" which has made
its appearance at several points in
the state. This rumor, however, can
not be confirmed as we go to press.

If Too Fat
 Get Fresh Air
How You May Reduce a Pound Daily and Improve
 Health Amazingly

Lack of fresh air. it is said, weakens the oxygen carrying power of the blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumulates. the heart action becomes weak, work is an effort and the beauty of the figure is destroyed.
 Fat put on by indoor life is un- healthy and, if nature is not assisted in throwing it off, serious case of obesity may result.
 Don't wait until your health is ruin ed through carrying around burden of unsightly and unhealthy fat.
 Spend some time daily in the open air; breathe deeply, and get from any druggist a box of oil of korein cap sules; take one after each meal and one before retiring at night, also fol- lowing the other simple directions that come with the box.
 Weigh yourself every few days and keep up the treatment until you are down to normal. Oil of korein is absolutely harmless, is pleasant to take. helps the digestion, and even a few days treatment is likely to show a noticeable reduction in weight. This system has succeeded when other remedies, etc, have failed. It is the delight of those who wish to improve their figure and acquire younger appearance. "'

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The Tokio Girls which opened weeks engagement at the Auditorium yesterday is one of the best Musical Co.'S that has appeared here this sea- son. and it was indeed a treat to look upon the special scenery and mag rificent costumes The staging and and costuming of the bill would do credit to some of the larger Musical shows that has appeared here. The opening bill was Alaska" showing the faraway north in all her snowy glory
 There is a well constructed plot run ming through the entire bill. At the opening a hig snow storm is introduc- ed which is big novelty. The com edy roles were in the hands of clever comedians. Irish Billy Lewis as Mike and Harry Moore as Able and they caught their audience from the start and held them until the final fall of the curtain. There are some very clever performers with this company and the Musical numbers by Miss Essie Colvert Marjory Kushaw. Miss Lor- ctta Gale and Willard Dyer, all scored biz. The Buck Dancing by Babe Mill Ter of Wooden Shoe fame is a big novelty. This little lady is one of the fastest dancers ever seen here. and also puts over a fast singing number. The comedy Trio is alone by itsself. As an added attraction the dramatic sketch My Broken Rosary" with Messers. Dyer. Lewis and Harry Moore and Misses Calser and Miller is one of the strongest dramatic selec- tions seen here and the interpolation of each character showed that not only were they artists in the musical lines. but dramatic performers of the better class. This same bill will be repeated today and a complete change of programme on Wednesday and Fri day. Crowded houses should be the rule this week with this capable com pany. Matinees are given daily.

COOPERATIVE STORES IN
 NEW LONDON CLOSE

Three cooperative grocery and meat stores in New London and Groton, op- erated by the New London County Co., operative Association have been closed because the company is in f. nancial difficulties. it is understood. One of the stores which was in East New London has been closed for two months. A store in Groton and a store on Main street. New London. were closed Saturday night.
 No attachments have been placed on the stores, so far as known.
 However, there are a number of creditors and it was stated there would be a meeting of the committee and the directors of the association to sce if matters cannot be adjusted.
 lf the conference is unsuccessful it Is probable that a receivership will be asked for by the creditors. The New London Cooperative O., Inc. was or ganized primarily for the benefit of the employees of the New London Ship and Engine Co. who invested in stock of the company Shares of a par value of S25 were issued and the stockhold- CTS were expected to obtain groceries and provisions practically at cost. out side the expense of operation of the stores.
