FIFTEEN TEACHERS SICK
 WITH INFLUENZA

Owing to the influenza epidemic it was reported by Superintendent of School E. J. Graham at the regular meeting of the town school board on Tuesday evening that fifteen teachers were now out sick and one of them, Miss Rena Murdock, was very seri- ously i'll. MT. Graham also stated that it was very hard to get substitutes for these teachers and that the work in some of the grades had been handi- capped owing to this. The number of teachers out during the past few weeks at one time reached %.
 It was decided at the meeting that there would be no school on Thursday Gincoln's Birthday but that there would be no observance of Wash ington's birthday, which falls on a Sunday, as two days had already been lost owing to the recent storm. How ever, a number of teachers are plan- ming to attend the State Teachers As sociation in Hartford on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week and leave of absence will be granted them if they desire for Friday.
 Attention was called to the Otis tests which have been conducted here dur ing the past few weeks. This test is one that has been tried out in all educational centers and has proven successful tending to increase the eff ficiency of the scholar as well as the school system. The test consists of finding out just what ability each scholar has and then giving a classifi- eaton in group where he is most fit ted. A lecture course along these has been conducted here by instructors from the state Normal school and have proven of great benefit.
 Supt. Graham also brought to the att tention of the meeting the great ef- ficiency in the kindergarten depart ments of the schools and showed what excellent work was being done by the
 little tots of four and five years. These little people are given tools to work with and some of them have made toys and other things that are very creditable.
 Among other things it was brought i to the attention of the board that several of the trees on school prop erty were in need of attention and Tree Warden Davis has been instruct ed to trim and repair trees that ale not up to the standard.
 Supt. E. J. Graham was given a leave of absence to attend the Ma tional teachers convention that is to be held in Cleveland the latter part of this month.

THIN PEOPLE
 SHOULD TAKE
 PHOSPHATE Nothing Like Plain Bitfo-PhOsDhate tS Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strens tn. ViGOr
 and Nerve FORce.

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatment which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms neck and bust, and replacing lrgly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their ex- cessive 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 suuOl-- this deficiency 90 well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate which is inexpensive and is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphorlc food ele- nents. itro-phosphate should proouce pearance; the increase in weight ire quentIy being astonishing.
 Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health: Nervousness. sleepleSsneSS and lack of energy. which nearly always accomp- any excessive thinneSs should soon dis Apear- dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.
 CATTrON:-W While Bitro-Phosphate IS unsurpassed for the relief of ner- voushess general debility. etc, those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods

Judge Coit Tells Of Old Whaling Days

sailors who placed the accent upon certain words when it was time to pull the ropes reefing the sails. These songs were composed on the spur of the moment by the songster and the men joined in on each chorus.
 Judge Cot had also brought several old ship logs with him and these were passed around. One of the logs had been written in the year 1884 and the writing looked as though it had been placed there only a few years ago. These logs were kept by the captains Of the vessels and contained a history of everything of importance that hap pened While the ship was at sea. A sample of one day on the log of a ship can be seen by the following item of Captain William Beetle who took the Chelsea to the Pacific ocean. The boat was lying iii port at the time of this writing, November 5, 1884. At 9 q. III. all hands were on board, we got under way it being thick and rainy.

 The history of whaling in New London controlled the destnies of that city and when election days
 
 at Montauk and again at Fort Trum- bull the citizens would rush to the hills and if the vessel bore the flag 1 of certain companies the Whigs re- joiced because they knew the election would be theirs but if it was not one of their vessels it was the turn of the democrats to rejoice. This cause of rejoicing was because the crews :. of almost any whaling vessel would give sufficient votes to any one side 1 to swing the election.
 Judge Colts address on the Whal- ing Days of New London closed with tribute to Mrs. Jennie Williams formerly of Norwich who long since left fund for the use of old sailors i and their widows. The Williams Me morial Institute was also one of her i remembrances to that city. He also paid great tribute to those men ot sterling character who were respon- sible for the greatness of New Lon- don's name in the world today and hoped that the present day might sec more who would add to the city sucf benefits as did those old whalers o1 1 the 18th century.
