s. N. k. Telephone Co. Plans
 Automatic SWitchbOards.

In the year 1921 if a telephone subscriber gets the wrong number af- ter making a telephone call, he will have only himself to blame if the plans of the Southern New England Telephone Company mature by that time, for the installation of an auto matic switchboard is expected to be completed for use in Connecticut by the end of November, 1920. The de- cision to install the automatics was made known at a meeting of the di- rectors in New Haven three weeks ago.
 It is the purpose to install the au- tomatics throughout the Bell system, and work is being rushed in the fac tories of the Western Electric Com pany on the apparatus necessary to make the change. The new system will require a dial on each telephone instrument, which can be adjusted so the subscriber can call any other subscriber without the necessity of first getting in communication with an operator at the central office This will eliminate the services of many operators at the central offices, but the services of girls for toll service will be continued.

 CAMP WORK

The Knights of Columbus Commit tee on War Activities met yesterday and discussed the order of the War Department taking over the war re- lief work that has been carried on by various agencies. The order went into effect yesterday. The committee. at the conclusion of it's meeting made this statement:
 The Knights of Columbus protest ed against the War Deparaments or der to withdraw all war work agen- cies in home camps by November 1 we stated that we would of course abide by the War Departments or ders. We have not changed our atti- tude, neither have we changed our opinion that relief work of the nature conducted by the Knights of Colum- bus in the camps is more efhcacious1y conducted by civilians than by mil itary agency, and it is an established fact that relief work under civilian auspices is preferred by the soldier
 Of course, in conformity with the War Departments order, the Knights of Columbus are withdrawing from the camps, leaving only such workers as are necessary to complete the wind ing LID of cur affairs in each camp We have received many communica- tions from camp officers reSrettinS our departure. We shall cheerfully co-operate with the War Department in it's effort to initiate relief and rec reationaI work, and our personnel in the camps has been placed at the War Department's disposal.

Dr. John T. Black, state health cummiss Oner, and Dr. T. Eben Reeks, 3eputy state health commissioner, re- turned Sunday from New Orleans, where thsv attended the annual con- FentiOn of the United States Public Health Association.
 One of the most interesting discus =ions at this years convention was hat concerning the epidemic of in fucnza last year, the worse in the worlds history. and an open discus sion was held regarding the chances of the disease causing another such apidcnic Dr. Rocks said yesterday that the majority of the delegates present greed that the chances were
 l5gh- for a recurrence of influenza his year, although some of the doe -ocs were of the opinion that there would be several eases in December nd January.
 As Dr. Reeks said, these doctors i'd not say pos. lively that influenza wou1d appear during the months named, but merely said it was their opinion, from observations, that in fiuenza would make it's appearance during the last month of 1919 and the first month of 1920.

eral Funston commanded more thar
a brigade on the Vera Cruz expedi-
ton but t'unstons troops never got
into action.
From the time Pcrshing graduated
from West Point in 1886 he had his
full share Of active and valuable SER
vice in the army. Like his classmates
he Immediately was plunged into the
Indian wars. He entered campaign
against the great Apache chief Ger
onimo who for many years had
kept the great southwestern country
almost closed to immigration by his
skill and bravery. 1t was in those
campaigns that many of young Am
erican army officers received that
Especial training evolved in combat with
the willy savages which proved of
peculiar value in certain phases of
the highly scientific modern warfare
in France and Belgium.
They were taught the art of
scouting, of trailing and of perfect
self-reliance in thes chool beyond the
ken of any European soldier and
many a midnight raid by the Ameri-
cans into No Mans Land doubtless
found its inception and clover execu-
ton in the brain of one Of these one
time Indian fighters of Pershing's
type.
1t is recorded officially of Pershing
that at the beginning of his career,
for instance, he was complimented by
General Miles, his commander-in-
chief in the Geronimo campaigns, for
marching his troops, with pack train,
over rough country, 140 miles in as
hours, bringing in every animal and
man in good condition" Until he
reached command rank Pershing al
ways was a cavalry officer and the
records of the War Department show
more than one honorable mention for
his conduct dgring his ten years SER
vice in the Department of Arizona.
In the Spanish War as annofficer of
the Tenth Cavalry he was promoted
for gallantry at the battle of Ell
Caney to be a major in the Volunteer
army and after short detail in Wash
ington in the Bureau of Insular AT
fairs was sent out to the Philippines
as Acknowledgement of the Depart

tain that the plans he had made with
the assistance of his own staff for a
successful campaign into Alsace-
Lorraine had behind them the sup
port of a sufficient number of Amer
lean soldiers that Pershing felt JUS
tilted in taking complete command of
an important sector of the line of
battle with the full assent of Marshal
Foch and with the result that the
American army broke the morale of
the Germans and brought the war to
an end.
For what he did in Europe Per-
shing has been praised beyond meas
ure by the greatest rulers and sol
diers of the world who have been
glad to welcome him and press his

AS to Shaving,

When it comes to shaving. we have
the word of Pliny for it that Scipio
Africanus was the first man who ever
shaved everyday. Whether Mr. Afri,
canus shaved himself or was shaved
by barber, Pliny does not say, but it
may be gathered from certain remarks
of Talleyrand that this is an important
point i'll any mans habits. Asked If
Napoleon cut his own whiskers, the
great French statesman replied:
Yes. One born to be a king has
someone to shave him, but they who
acquire kingdoms shave themselves.

P. s.: II you can make any Use
of this letter for suffering humanity,
you are at liberty to do so. C.S.M-
This is only one case out OF thousands.
You should make the EATONiC test
in your own case at once. You have
everything to gain-not a penny can
you lose, Tor we take all the risk. Your
own common sense, your own feelings,
tell you that good appetite, good dl-
gestion, good stomach, with the fever
posons and effects OF strong medicines
out of your system, will put you on the
road to strong, robust health again.
You want to enjoy life again after
you have battled with the ''fiu'' fever
or colds, or any other illness that has
taken your strength. You want to get
back your old-time vigor, be full OF pep
and enthusiasm-b able to work with
ease, instead of listlessly, half-heart-
edly dragging out a mere existence.
So be sure to take box OF EATONIC
home with you today. We cannot urge
this too strongly. If EATONIC fails
to give you positive beneficial results,
it viii not cost you penny. There is no
risk-the benefit is surely all for YOU
