On the way up the path, MT Strange said, he was attack ed by the Haubts dog, which was chain ed in a kennel, but the chain was long enough so that when the dog rushed out he was able to reach MT.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence
 Over Rheumatism

MT. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work.
 He finally decided. after years of ceaseiess study, that no one can be. |. free from rheumatism until the ac- cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits. were dissolved in ! the joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind. he consulted physicians, made experiments and fnai- ! 1y compounded prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took 1t. with what might be called marvellous success. After years of urging, he decided to let suf- Perers everywhere know about his dis cevery through the newspapers. Lee & Osgood Company has been appointed agents for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the understanding that they will freely return the purchase money to all who state they, received no hAneAt.

The monday luncheon of the Nor |, wich Rotary club on Wednesday at l the Wauregan hotel was given over to | the Norwich Chamber of Commerce and officials Of the State Chamber of Commerce. There were about 100 present at the meeting including large number of members of the Cham Der of Commerce and prominent buSl- ness heads of the city. The tables were arranged in square and prettl- ly decorated with potted plants from Ernsts. The invocation was by Rev. Dr. J. H. Selden. Eben Learned was the song leader for the luncheon and P. W. Wheeler and Henry J. LaFon- taine rendered two pleasing solos. AS a special treat the Lotus Male Quar-
 tette, guests of Dr. Hugh B. Camp
 bell, sang several selections in fine
 voice, their renderings being heartily
 applauded calling for them to respond
 to repeated encoreS.
 President Joseph c. Worth presided at the meeting and welcomed the
 guests and members of the Chamber of Commerce and introduced George E. Chandler secretary of the State | Chamber of Commerce as the speaker. | Mr. Chandler was greeted with ap-
 plause and in his opening remarks | complimented Norwich on its Rotary club and Chamber of Commerce, say | ing that some of his pleasantest mem- l ories are associated with Norwich peo- | pie and the Norwich Chamber of Com merce.
 i He went on to say that his talk was to be one of cold -blooded business facts on problems that confront this
 country and state in the period of re- construction following the world s greatest conflict. We are rich, said Mir. Chandler, but we are beginning to feel the pressure of business depres- sion that follows any great catastro- phy. Many of the mills are working on short time and there are thousands
 of our laboring men who are out of employment. Our governor sounded the note of the state when he advised
 a policy of economical entrenchment
 State retrenchment means individual retrenchment.
 Several years ago the state paid her debt and was with money in her cof- . fers but during the past few yeart there has been an enormous expense
 and today. the state owes something like six and one-half millions. Int
 bills for appropriations before the gen : eral assembly now amount to mort than 32 millions, more than the an nual income of the state by many mil lions In fact the expenses of tn ; state department will eat up the rev enue of the state in one year.
 One of the aims of the State Cham Der of Commerce is to try and assis the state in it's. program of economy a A committee is to make a survey 0 Q the financial conditions of the stat ? and to treat the affairs of the stat
 as a big corporation, which it reall,
 is. When the Survey is made it i
 planned to submit it for the impartia 3 advice of the great fnancier of tn a state.
 Another great problem that is be A ing seriously considered by the Stat . Chamber is the problem of transporta . tion, both urban and interurban. Tn :. trolleys of the state are in sad state 2 2 many lines have been discontinued an the companies face financial distres. : The transportation companies must b . kept in healthy condition if we woul

MAKE GOOD ON PAROLE
 FROM WETHERsFIEI.D PRISON

That S4 per cent. of the paroled pris- oners make gooG' is one of T.s salient features of the biennial report of the di- rectcrs of the Connecticut state prison made to Governor Lake. The directors again emphasize the need of a new pris- on and recommend that work on it be un- dertaken with the aid of the labor of the inmates which would keep the necessary appropriation from the state within very Tea asOnabe size. Cost of maintaining the prison, the directors think. has passed the peak of high prices in coal table supplies and salary roll.
 Warden H. k. W. Scott recommends an appropriation of s40.0o0 for carrying out the statutory provisions which allows pay of 10 cents 8 day to a prisoner for lalpr. The warden aklo appeals for more yard space for the exercise of pris- orrer ard asks for S2o, ,006 to enlarge the yard. An appropriation of s1,000 is asked for the prison library and s3o 900 for repairs about the prison.
 The directors signing the report are Colonel Norris G. Osborn, Willie O. Burr, Frederick NJ. Salmon. Frank c. Sumner. Edward A. Fuler. Robert W. PoS and William C. Cheney. They recommend that women prisoners be transferred to the state farm for women, and that life prisoners be eligible for parole consid- eration after 9 years imprisonment They note the improvement of health of prisoners as a result of athletic exercise and .hey gay that school work has been hampered because Of lack of room. In their report the directors say:

 "On the other hand, there has ariser the tantaliZinZ question as to whether a
