WHAT CAN BE SEEN IN eRoEoN.

Dear Social Corner Sisters and Friends: have recently visited the Bill Library in Groton and was very much interested in the collection of butter flies. There are specimens from all parts of the world. Some are really wonderful. They are beautifully mounted, and great taste is displayed ia their arrangement. I think those from South America ara the finest. be- ing so large and with such striking col ors. Then there is a beautiful collec- tion of both native and foreign birds. The Bill collection includes all our na- tive birds, finely mounted, and they are very interesting, especially the sea birds and altogether would make 8, good ob- fec tlesson for either children Or grown people who are not well up in bird lore. James Hill has a fine collection of mounted birds. He is our well known ornithologist. lie also has the largest collection of birds eggs ever saw. Some are quite rare, and some very
 curious nests.
 ] also visited the monument house and found great many interesting rel les Of the Revolutionary times. Colonel Ledyard's sword is carefully preserved I was quite interested in Hselodeen that was made from wood cut from a
 tree st White Plains. N r., during the Revolutionary war by Capt Rufus Av- cry. and made by Mrs. Hihcllley, grand mother of Mrs Julia Bill. It was cer' ] tainly a curiosity. Tl6re was a large
 basket made OF pure white and tiny 1 shells. It was most wonderful piece | Of work. I had a very interesting tall with the lady who has charge Of tht

ANOTHER LONG TO BE REMEM

Dear Corner Sisters: Wednesday, Aug. 31, was another day added to the long list Of those long to be remembered by the Social Corner sisters of the Norwich Bulletin.
 Bright and early Comfort, vira, 1sa- dore and Deliah Deal in response to the invitation of the sisters of Club No. 1 to meet them at Wildwood Park for a days outing, met at the station in Jew cit City, ready for the s.1s trolley and while waiting wondered if there would be room for them when all the Norwich and Franklin and other members ar- rived. Imagine our surprise and tisap- pointrnent when not one, not even a shadow of one, was discovered aboard the car and at Plainheld not a yellow ribbon to be seen. Where are you Bug Ma of Greene Gables, Nixie, Hinky? Not sick, CT as the children say, mad all oi you?

Although I was at the ticket office before

The weather threatened all forenoon, with several showers. but it finally de cided to clear for the evening and we were on hand in plenty time to see and enjoy the whole.

I have asfzsd several of thx sisters about silver fork and three napkins that were left here and have not been able to find out who they belong to. Perhaps someone can tell me through the Corner. s Tiny: Cali some time and see if one of these are yours.

NOT TO KNOW
 IS NO EXCUSE
To Know How to Keep Well Is Better Than to Call in Doctor to Get Well.
 Sickness Is Penalty Not an Accident.

SAS&A4<~So AS = SAAA~sJ A'Sh S@A eASS3ASA4ts
 One of the best and most depend able and important preventatives of getting sick, one of the Surest ways of keeping well is to form and main tain the exceedingly good habit of regular, thorough, daily bowel evacu- ation.
 That is Natures t'best bet". You should do your best to help Nature, not hinder her in her efforts to keep you well. With the best of good in- tentions you may employ many me thods. Strong, drastic acting medic ines that force the bowels to act sim ply replace one evil by another evil. It may secure temporary action but it produces more than temporary ir- ritation and other bad effects. Don't judge by promise in selecting sim pie remedy to assist Nature. Per for1nance is the true test. Take Beechan's for example.
 Over 70 years ago people began to take Beeeham's. Today millions of people all over the world take Beeeham's, recommend Beecham's to their friends, hand the use of Beech anl's down from father to son or from mother to daughter for gener- stien after generation. That means much. You never hear any unfavor- able criticism or complaint regarding Beecham's. That means much if not more. It takes real merit to withstand the tests of time and trial | You can do much to help Nature keep you we'll by keeping a box oi Beecham's in the house, ready for use at the first warning of disorder or derangement. All druggists sell Beechahn's-are glad to sell Beecham's.

AS the cunning season draws near
er owners of hunting dogs are taking
precautions aaginst their theft. Re-
ports from many sections of both Kent
and Sussex county are to the effect
that many fine bird and rabbit dogs
have been stolen already. Joshua
Millman, of Glendale, recently had
bird dog stolen from him which he
valued at 500. 1t is said that a gas

Wilmington merchants will inaugu-
rate, under the auspices of the Mer-
camille Section of the Chamber of
Commerce, a series of Suburban Shop
ping Days, commencing with the ini-
tial event Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, November Z, and 9. Rural
purchasers are urged to visit Will
mington. when shopping, instead of
going to Philadelphia or Baltimore.
Wilmington merchants can and do of
fer their customers equally as good
merchandise as may be found any
where, and at prices that will compare
favorably with any in effect elsewhere.
Wilmington merchants do not desire
to open competition with rural mer-
chants, but they do desire to become
acquainted with the people of the rur-
al communities, and to have them
make their purchases on the slogan,

night and make raids ON these valua-
BILE dogs. According to the rumor as
circulated, the animals are then taken
across the bay to New Jersey where
they are disposed of at a good price.
Whether this report is true or not, it
has had the effect of making the own
ers of hunting dogs keep close watch
on them. Each year, previous to the
opening of the hunting season, reports
are current about dogs having been
stolen.

The protracted dry weather i'm low
er Delaware is causing the people
more than ordinary inconvenience. Re-
ports from some sections of both Kent
and Sussex counties are to the effect
that the surface wells, upon the small

ply, are commencing to dry up. The
springs which supply these wells are
so low that the flow has become al

ers Beach residents of that town
who have these wells have been COM
PEELED to use the artesian wells which
have been driven by their neighbors.
Unless it rains in the very near fu-
