with sufficient alacrity to suit the

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is q Brisk
Purgatiye With calotaba, the Puri-
fed and Refined calomel Tablets
That are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.


Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-
enza can be depended upon for full
effectiveness until the liver is made
thoroughly active. That is why the
first step in the treatment is the new,
nausealess calomel tablet called Gallo
tabs, which are free from the sicken-
ing and weakening. effects of the
old style calomel. Doctors also point
out the fact that an active liver may
go long way towards preventing
influenza and is one of the most i'm
portant factors in enabling the patient
to successfully withstand an attack
and ward off pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with a swallow of water--that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasure or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished, your liver is
active, your system is purified, and
you are feeling fine, with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Druggists sell
Calotabs only in original sealed pack
ages, price thirty-five cents. Your
money will be cheerfully refunded if
you do not find them delightful. adv.

NEW AUTOMATIC TELEPHONES
 TO RE INSTALLED IN STAT

Automatic telephones will be installed throughout the state in the future by the Southern New England Telephone Co, wherever it is necessary to change the present equipment or install an un- usual number of new machines.
 By the use of the new invention it will be possible for the subscriber to get df- rect connection with the party wanted without the aid of central, and much time and many cuss words will be saved by users of the telephone system.
 The new mechanism is known as the machine switching system and con- sists of the ordinary telephone instru- ment to which calling attachment known as the dial will be mounted on the base of the desk stand The dial has ten finger holes bearing numerals 1 to g and also o and the word Operator in the tenth hole. The holes will also have letters to indicate the different centrals.
 In making a call the subscriber first pushes the button with the name of the central he wants. then the numbers in their order, and the line is immediately connected up.
 This new system is now being installed in Hartford. where 5000 board with the new apparatus is being added to the present equipment
 In Bridgeport the equipment is prac- ticaIly new and will probably last for another five years. Wben it is necessary to renew the equipment for any reason the new system will be used.
 The company is having it's own trou- bles at the present time in getting any kind of instruments to give to new sub scribers. The strike in the American Brass CO. works has completely shut of the supply of the very fine wire used ir the coils of the instruments and people who would like to have telephones art obliged to wait until the company car get equipment.

If Thin and Nervous
 TDBitrO-PhOsp|1ate

While excessive thinness might be attributed to various and subtle causes in different individuals, it is a we'll known fact that the lack of phosphor- ous in the human system is very large ly responsible for this condition.
 It seems to be well established that this deficiency in phosphorous may now be met by the use of Bitro- Phosphate. which can be obtained from Lee & Os- good. and any good druggist in convent ent tablet form.
 In many instances the assimilation of this phosphate by the nerve tissue soon produces a welcome change nerve tension disappears, yigor and strength replace weakness and lack of energy and the whole body loses it's ugly hollows and abrupt angles, be- coming enveloped in glow of perfect health and beauty and the will and strength to be up and doing.
 CAUTION'-While Bitro-Phosphate is unsurpassed for the relief of nervous ness, general debility. etc. those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care in avoiding fat producing foods.

DARkEN GRAY HAIR,
 LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur darkens so naturally
 that nobody can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color. that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at tractive, use only this old-t time recipe
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen 2 sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking ont small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but wha delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that be- sides beautifully darkening the hail after a few applications, it also bring back the gloss and lustre and gives i an appearance of abundance.

HarWOOd BYrnes Addresses ROtarians

Aluminium, how it is made and it's principal uses, was the topic. of an in teresting address by Harwood Byrnes who is connected with the Aluminium Company of America, the largest com pany manufacturing aluminium in the world, at the weekly monday luncheon of the Norwich Rotary club held on Wednesday at the Wauregan house.
 MT. Byrnes told of the process by which aluminium is made. First a clay known as bauxite, triple hydrate of aluminium, found near Merryvilie, Tenn. is taken and mixed with caustic soda and live steam passed through it. This results ip filtrate known as sodium aluminium. This sodium is then mixed with carbon dioxide and the This product is shipped to various points in the country where there is extensive water power. The aluminium oxide is then mixed with cryolite and placed in steel vats and an electric current passed through it. It is then reduced to a molten mass and run out into ingots of aluminium.
 The ingots of aluminium are shipped l to other points where there are roll | ing mills and the aluminium rolled into sheets such as used by automobile manufacturers for car bodies. Tht aluminium is also made in aluminium cable with a steel core making much better and less expensive cable thar | the old fashioned copper cable. Cook | ing utensils, engine bases, gear hous- | ings and other things are made O aluminium.
 An aluminium powder known as ann monal, one of the highest explosives known is made by this concern. The | p !, E. shells and still have a large sup
 ply on hand now that they are tryins
 to sell back to the company. Thi
 powder is used in steel making. It is used as a deoxidizer, eliminating the air holes that frequently occur in steel | This company Is producing abou
