THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE
 PHOSPHATE
Othing Like Plain BitrO-Phssphate to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, VigOr
 and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fieshy. develop ing arms. neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness.
 Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de- ficiency so well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate, which is inexpensive. and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all druggists under guarantee of satis- faction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the phoric food elements, bitro- phosphate should produce a welcome transforms ton in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing.
 Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health, Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack of energy. which nearly always accom- pany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. H.
 CAUTION: - While Bitro- Phosphate is unsurpassed for the relief of ner- vousness, general debility. etc. those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods.

Approves School Budget
s1S4.4ss.oO

More for Evening Schools
 General William A. Aiken asked, as point of information, why the $2,500 item for evening schools shows an in crease of s1,000 over last year.
 B. P. Bishop, chairman of the scEool board, eplained the matter by stating that the state laws require that all chil- dren between the ages of fl and 16 who go to work before they complete their s>kooling shall have evening school &C., commodations. MT. Bishop said that as it is new law it did not come to the boards attention at the time they made their last budget but that they man. aged to take care of the additional ex- pense through the regular appropriation voted last year for the schools.
 On motion of Roy D. Judd action on the item for $4.00o for medical inspec- tion in the schools the coming year was deferred until after the matter of the transfer of medical supervision from the school board to the town health officer had Teen settled.
 The next matter taken up was that of fixing the salaries of the town officials John McWilliams presented a resolu- tion fixing the salaries as follows:
 First selectman, s2 100; second and third selectmen, $20O; town clerk, $2O0 | town treasurer, $1,0oO; clerk of the DOdl0 VA dooSSSOAob f4BoVN OSiS4 A4Cll' bers of the board, s1,000 secretary oi the town school board, s400; tax collec l tor, 1 per cent. of the amount collected | Albie L. Hale, member of the board of assessors, offered an amendment fix | ing the assessors salaries at s1,2o( each with $500 extra for the clerk o1 [ the board.
 1 Mayor Herbert M. Lerou called atten tion to the fact that this was the sam, resolution he introduced at the towI
 meeting last spring when the matter O the assessors salaries was up for ac ton. At that time Mayor Lerou's reso lution was defeated and the salaries wer' | fixed at $1,000 each for the assessor with $500 extra for the clerk. Mayo Lerou moved the adoption of the amend nlent and the amendment was unani nously passed.
 The original resolution was the adopted as amended.
 By a resolution introduced by Tlmo thy C. Murphy and adopted by tn meeting the selectmen are authorized t borrow a sum not to exceed S225,000 i such amounts and at such times durin the next twelve months as may be nee leasary to defrzy- -the-debts and obliga

you. You have heard how some of us | on the board feel say whatever you | decide on we are going to, fall in line | with 1t
 Timothy c. Murphy spoke In opposition l to Mir. Bishop. If the school board has authority only over two-thirds of the children, what about the other one-third? When you pass this resolution. you pass 1t for all the children of Norwich. IL should go through unanimously. Mir. Bishop wants the school board to do what? To take charge of just two-thirds of the children of Norwich. I think the resolution should go through, concluded Mir. Murphy.
 G. Warren Davis took sides with. the school board. He said he would vote against the resolution. He intimated that the Red Cross might look after the oth- CT one-third of the children that would not come under the authority of the school board.
 Addressing the school committee Dr. Selden said: l find that by some failure | Of speech I seem to do them too little honor. To tell the truth it did not enter my mind, I was 50 interested in the children. He told of other communities where the school boards have relin. quished their supervision of medical in- spection.
 One word to Mir. Davis, said Dr. Sel- den Mir. Davis wonders why the Red Cross does not take care of the other one-third of the children. The Red Cross never attempts anything but community service.
 James C. Macpherson expressed his opinion when he said that the purpose of this resolution is to make this a com munity affair instead of a school affair. He was in favor of the resolution. | c. O. Murphy a member of-the school board, said. in speaking In favor of the resolution, I am sorry that I cannot be | in accord with the chairman of our school board as I generally am.
 Vote by Action Count.
 The moderator then put the quuestion but as he was in doubt as to the result of the exclamation vote he asked for a rising vote. The town clerk who was asked to make the count informed the chair that it was no use, as there were too many standing.
 The vote was then taken by passing in front of the moderators desk from Jeff to right Alderman C. V. Pendleton was appointed teller to assist the town clerk Result of the vote: Total voting. 17I yes 107. no CT. Tho resolution was declared adopted.
 I The meeting then adjourned until tn, ! first Monday in March next when tho town tax will be laid. Adjournment tc March was necessary owing to the statS law which states that tho tax cannot Dc fixed until after the assessors and board of relief have completed their Ia bors. It was 1905 o'clock when the meeting adjourned.

Increasing the appropriation for cleo tion expenses by S2,000, the nearly 250 voters assembled in annual town meet ing at the town hall Monday evening vot- ed the Selectmens budget for the coming twelve months in it's entirety, voted the estimated expense of the town schools as presented by the town school commit tee with the exception of the 5000 item for medical inspection which will be talk
 en care of by a $500 appropriation,
 one of the extras, appropriated for the
 use of the town health officer who will
 hereafter have supervision of medical in-
 spection in the schools of Norwich, both
 public and private. The other extras
 were voted except the s450 asked by pc
 tition for the purchase of coal and other
 supplies for the Yantic Fire Engine Co.,,
 as the moderator informed the meeting
 that this appropriation is included in the selectmens estimates.

 The town school board, according to statements made by it's chairmen, B. P. Bishop, was divided on the matter. The chairman registered his disapproval of Dr. Selden's resolution when he said he believed that the medJcal supervision was in the right place and that the au- | thority for such supervision should re- | main with the school board. There was

Election Expenses More

Election Expenses More
 The item for election expenses as 1t appeared in the estimates was S5,000, one thousand dollars nSore than last year and as the moderator reached this item in the list he said it was doubtful in his mind whether this increase would be adequate on account of the lar:Ee in crease in the number of voters this year owing to woman suffrage.
 Cornelius J. Downes, one of the reg istrars of voters, offered an explanation as to the need of more money for cleo tion expenses this year. He said that in the Central District there will be some 1900 names added to the list of voters and that it is possible that the Central district may soon have to be divided ia- to wards in order that the election of flciais will be able to take care of the voters. He couldn't say just what the election expenses will be this year but thought that $7,O0o will be needed. MT. Downes moved that the figure for cleo tion expenses be increased to S7,000 and the appropriation was voted as increas- ed.
