ball, despite the fact that both Gagnon
and the team had played the fast
Springfield College team three days be-
fore the Dartmouth game. In the Syr-
acuse game, which he won, Gagnon was
head and shoulders over any back on the
field.
This Is not Gagnon's first year as a
star, as last year he was also the star
Of our team, and the preceding year
he defeated Harvard, so. while playing
for Brown, by kicking two field goals.
And II there Is any question as to
whether he Is a star or not, / would
advise you to look him over on the
afternoon of December 4, when Gagnon

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA TARRH. CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
 AND HEAD NOISES

If you know of someone who is troubled with catarrhal deafness, head noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness In England scientists for a long time past have recognized that necessarily requires constitutional treatment.
 Sprays inhalers and nose douches are liable to irritate the delicate air pas sages and force the disease in the mid dc ear. which frequently means total deafness, or else the disease may be driven down the air passages towards ous. The following formula, which is used extensively in the damp English climate. Is a constitutional treatment and should prove especially eficacious to sufferers kere who live under more favorable climate conditions.
 Secure from your druggist one ounce Of Parmint tdouble strength). Take this home and add to it h pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar spoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from distress ing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and hearing improve as the infamma- ton In the custodian tubes is reduced Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces oi the system and has a tonic action that helps to obtain the desired results. The preparation Is easy to make. costs little and is pleasant to take. Every persor who has catarrh or head noises or i. hard of hearing should give this treat mert trial.

P. & Nj. STORE IN PORTLAND
 HAS WOODLAND DECORATE,

Norwich readers will be interested in the following extract from a trade paper, description of the effective plans of store decorations used by The Porteous, Mitchell and Braun Company of Port land, Maine.
 A way of affording the city dweller a breath of spring has been devised by Porteous, Mitchell & Braun, of Portland Maine. Whatever the season, the dec orations of the store are made to cor respond so that at this time the in- terior of the store seems like a breath of real spring
 The plan has been in operation for some years, and has met with entire
 success, according to the reports re- ceived from the store. The modus operandi is as follows:
 | When the first signs of spring, appear representatives of the store institute | search of the Maine woods for birch bark. Large pieces are gathered anC are shipped with great care to ths store, where they are used to encase thu twenty large pillars which support thu ceiling. Burlap protects the posts. SC that they are not marred by attaching | the bark.
 At the base of each of these bark. | covered posts is placed a circular flow l CT box. filled with ferns, which are kep

ANSONIA CONGREGATIONAL
 PASS THEIR QUOTA ON FIRST DA,

The Congregational Church of Ansonia has set a mark for enthusiasm in start ing the Interchurch World Movement campaign, which is calculated to have it's inspiration all over the state of Connec- ticut. On the first day of the canvass it pledged it's quota plus about $500. Its members then proceeded to add as a special contribution $1200 to be. used in establishing memorial to seventy mem bers of the church who were in service
 in the recent war. The whole program. was carried through in practically, single day with the utmost enthusiasm.
 Reports from all over the state indi- 0ate,s however, something like the same degree of enthusiasm. The Baptists have led because of the largeness of the 'un- dertaking. On the first day three. of the
 Hartford churches had pledged s132 0o0. Reports indicate a like response from many of the Baptist churches through out the state. The largest figure so far reported from a single church outside of Hartford is s30,000 from the First Bap- tist church of Bridgeport on a quota of $S2,000. Calvary Baptist church of New Haven with a quota of $115,000 has raised s15,000; First Baptist church of New Haven has raised s10,500 oh a. quo | ta of S70,000 the Baptist church. of l Branford has raised $7OOO of it's s11,400 i and '''N Baptist church of Ansonia has
 raised $16,000 out of 51,000. These are
 all figures of pledges secured on the first l day of the canvass These pledges cover | a five-year period but will necessarily be 1 made in four yearly payments.
 i The Congregational churches have | proceeded more slowly with their can
 vass, the understanding being that il l would be extended throughout the week
 Center Church in Hartford has made ar i excellent show for start, t,-having raised l s9500 on a quota of s14.000. The larg est amount raised by any Congregations church so far reported for the first day
 was Center Church-,in New Haven, whici had exceeded it's quota by almost ;1 900

 In the hot summer months this store affords real treat to the customer.
