those organizations he charges with

There are those who value their
American citizenship. Mention has
been made of a young man who trav-
eled from Australia to his home in
Pennsylvania to vote on election day
The trip required many days and many
thousand miles of travel and involved
heavy cost but the young man con-
sidered himself well repaid by being
able to exercise his right of suffrage.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have bladder trouble-Take
 glass of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over worked from the strain, get sluggish and rail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then We get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches liver trouble. nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders coIIfe from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces Of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a, tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous Aea1ts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, lind has been used for generations to hush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness

RED PINE REPLACING CHESTNUT SAYS EILLEY

It is surprising how little the av- evareg person realizes the extent of Connecticut's forest wood land. The state is generally thought of as an industrial or agricultural state. But forestry map, such as was thrown on the screen during the illustrated lecture by State Forester W. o. Filley nesday evening under the auspices Of the Norwich Art Students Associ- ation, shows that approximately forty-f1ve per cent. of Connecticut is wood land and brush land.
 The lecture was held in connection with the regular monthly meeting of the Art Students Association, the bus mess session, which was brief. pre- ceding the talk. which proved very in teresting to all present. A number of handsome slides, quite a number of which were colored, were thrown on the screen, showing sections of the various state parks and forest areas in the state and showing the remarkable progress being made by the state forester and his assistants in preserving and building up the states woodlands.
 In the course of his lecture MT. Filley said that a few years ago the chestnut tree was the most important tree in the state. He showed a picture | of a group of chestnut trees in a Con- necticut forest section. They were in their natural state, crowded closely. This close growth causes them to shoot up straight and high, the lower | branches dying off, leaving only the | branches near the top. Chestnut trees growing in this way make better lum- l Der.
 | But the chestnut tree is fast dis i appearing because of the chestnut blight and so it has become necessary l to look for another variety of tree for state forestry work. Included in the
 slides shown were pine forest speci- mems in the town of Union. Scotch i pine, mine years old. an example of l the growth of white pine from seed
 natural seeding of pine on old pastures where the seed has blown in and a | thick growth started and other scen-
 es- equally interesting.
 l According to MT. Filley. red pine is now being used for reforesteration
 work in this state. He told of tract
 of waste land planted as an expert
 ment about stwenty years ago. The tract is now thickly covered with
 sturdy trees. In the past twenty years i five forests have been started by the state forester and MT. F'illey eX- plained the location of these five for
 ests with the aid of map slide. This
 slide also showed the location ot
 some twenty state parks which have | been started. MT. Filley then took his audience on picture trip through
 several of the parks, showing Mace donia Park, Kent Falls and hills, an( a number of. beautiful spots to be
 found in other parks.
 The last slide shown was of a sec
 ton of the Devils Hop Yard which thu state rescued from the hands of ;
 lumberman who had purchased thu
 lumber rights and had started to GU
 down many of the beautiful trees. l
 expected that the Devils Hop Yart
 will become a permanent state park After his lecture MT. Filley answer
 ed several questions concerning ire
 formation and growth.

Lighting fixtures having been in- stalled in the new infirmary at Con necticut Agricultural college at Storrs the building is now ready for occu- pancy.
 The infirmary is located on the Eaglevi1le road, just west of Swan lake and is a one-story brick struc- ture. It is equipped with modern hos pital furniture and has a large sun parlor. Miss Mary DriscoIl, the college nurse, will have charge of the infirm- ary and Dr. Simonds of Williman- tic will make three calls week and at any other time when his services may be needed.
 It is not expected that the new din- ing hall will be completed much before Easter as the construction company has been handicapped in the lack of finishing materials. AS soon as tile for the floor and other material is re- ceived, work will be rushed in the hopes that the hall will be ready for the Easter recess.

SECOND FASHION DAY
 HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL

Again the Weather Man favored Norwich merchants Wednesday, the second Of the formal spring opening days proving warm and pleasant. Tn spite of transportation handicaps crowds visited the city and the style displays in the various stores were in- spected with the most absorbing in- terest. Best of all, buying started in early. and, all told, the days business was brisk and satisfactory.
 In the bright sunlight of Wednes- day, winter hats and garments looked undeniably dinSy and shabby The season has been long and hard. so that the lure of bright, fresh, new apparel was never stronger.
 First of all, the thoughts of every woman turn to a new spring suit. or lightweight coat. In suits, iauntv heather mixtures in jersey are priced from $35 up and are stunningly tail- ored and finished. Tricotine suits in navy and black, serges, silvertone velour, sport suits in swagger- cut, all are most appealing.
 Shades of tan seem to lead in popu- larity, with Pekin and navy next in favor. A springlike tint of beige is noticeable, also.
 These same hues appear in the smart sport coats which do so much to dress up" their wearer. Polo cloth. camelshair and bolivia are also strong for natty coats.
 The seasons separate skirt comes in stripes and rlaidss fantasie silk being one of the newest fabrics. These skirts are boxplaited or shirred, have medium straight belts and are finished with pocket or two, and have fancy buttons, large or small. for trimming
 Price tags on the very newest skirt models range from s19.50 to $s3.75.
 A few more warm, pleasant days will mean the discarding of heavy winter garments. Preparedness vii be the slogan of the wise shopper. whc will choose her spring apparel at once taking her tips as to what to buy ane where to buy from The Bulletins ad. vertisinq columns this morning.

MISS CULVER REPORTS
 PUBLIC NURSES BUSY

At the March meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the United Workers it was agreed that Miss Culver's report for February was unusually interesting.
 Miss Culver reported more nurs- ing cases were handled in Feruary than during the entire twelve months of the first year in public health nursing work, and the amount in money collected more than received during our entire first yea. makes this last month a record breaker.
 The weekly conferences which we dignify by the term of round tables, held Friday afternoons in the health office at the city hall, are proving of real value. The school nurses meet with the nurses of your staff, and the work is discussed freely and frankly.
 Mrs. William c. Woolsey, who came the first of February to do the tuberculosis nursing. has began an instruction class Saturday mornings for girls of tubercular families.
