confronting our state"
owe ought to revise our methods
Of state administration and make
them more efficient and better
adapted to conditions as they
now exist
"There should be no invisible

expenditures and a period of re-
lief to our people from the bur-
den of excessive state taxation"

FOR STATE AND NATION

The Republican party proposes
to devote its entire efforts to
safeguarding and promoting the
welfare of the American people,
and to. maintaining the principles
of self-government that have
given to our country its favored
and unique position.
Let us seek to avoid industrial
chaos and to bring to a close the
present national era of enormous
wartime expenditures.
Vote for a purpose far greater
than the success of the party, for
the ultimate goal that no harm
shall come to the Republic.

NORWICH WILL HAVE
 4,0OO NEW VOTERS


 That the voting list of the town of Nor wich Will be increased by at least 4.000 was indicated by Registrars of Voters Ty- Ter D. Guy and Cornelius J. Downes, on Monday, when they stated that appli- cations from both men and women were coming in in great numbers. In the first or Central district there are 700 appli- cations from women and three hundred from men to be made voters In the oth- CT districts the applications are just as correspondingiy heavy and it is esti- mated that the voting list of the town at the next election will be at least 10,- 00e, an increase of 1000, the largest num- Der being women.
 Both of the registrars are putting in long hours arranging the voting lists and getting ready for the making of voters from Oct g to 10 inclusive and it is expected that much work will be entail ed in this duty. All applications must be in, the hands of the registrars not later th5n o'clock on October 5th. Another thing that will cause much work for the registrars and also confusion at the polls is the fact that marriage changes the names of the women voters. This situa- tion is the cause of great deal of con fusion as has been noted in voting on school matters. If. when a woman voter | is married, she would notify the regis
 trars of her change of name and chang, of address it would cause less confusion and delay on voting days

Don't Spoil a Good Meal With a Bad
 Stomach

It is really a pitiful sight 10 see 60 many thousands of people worrying about what they can eat and what they can't eat.
 Dyspeptics. they call themselves. but they stretch the imagination when they do it.
 All these people need to make them healthy. cheerful and of sound ap- petite is a box of Mi-O-Na Tablets
 The stomach of a dyspeptic is over worked and run down. Ii needs help to digest the food. but more than that. il needs a prescription that will cleanse. renovate. strengthen and put elasticity into the stomach walls.
 Mi-O-Na is the prescription that will do this and do 1t SO promptly that you'n wonder why you didn't try t before.
 It stops belching of gas and distress after eating in five minutes. It is un- doubtedly the greatest stomach tonic ever given to the public by specialist in stomach diseases.
 The Lee & 0sgood Go. and leading druggists everywhere sell Mi-O-Na on the moneysback plan.

How Old Are You
 By Your Hair?

You may be 30 in years. but if you are bald-headed. gray, or your hair is dry, brittle, scraggly and ugly-looking, people will surely take you to be many years older.
 If you want good-looking hair, and plenty of it, the roots should be immedi- ately vitalized and properly nourished To do this quickly, safely and at little ex- pense, get from your druggist some Paris ian sage Qiquid form) for home use. A little attention now helps insure beautiful hair for years to come.
 Parisian sage is guaranteed to keep away all dandruff, stop scalp itch and falling hair and promote a new growth or money refunded. It's in great demand by women who always look their best" because it makes thet hair so soft, lus- rous. easy 10 arrange attractively and appear much heavier than it really is.
 A massage with Parisian sage is a real delight-easy to use, not sticky and daintily perfumed--an antiseptic. clean liquid that does not change the natural color of the hair.
 Lee & osgood will supply you and guar antee money refunded if you are not en- tirely satisfied.

 From all ~the talk he could hear on the street and in the papers, said Mir. Burke, he felt there was great need for enlight- enment on the position the democratic party had taken. Never had he heard such nonsensical and silly bluff talk from the mouth of a presidential candidate as he had heard from Senator Harding. Whoever sits in the White House for the next four years will have a job on his hands and he GS not belive the republi- can candidate was the man to satisfy the country.
