CENTRAL VILLAGE SATURDAY
 NIGHT TROLLEY TO sTop

The transportation committee and several merchants held a conference with Samuel Anderson, loca. manager of the street railway company, in the chamber Of commerce office this week.
 MT. Anderson, during the summer months. at the request of the mer- chants and the chamber of commerce committee, operated an extra trolley from Norwich to Central Village Sat urday nights only. and leaving the square at 9.45 p m. MT Anderson stated that this trip was run at a loss, and could not be operated and contin ued, consequently he has decided to take it off. Various phases CT this matter were discussed by those present and it was finally agreed that, in ac- cordance with good business princip es and judgment. Mir Anderson was act ing wisely. The 945 trolley Saturday nights from Franklin square. will here after run as far as Jewett City and not beyond that point
 The matter of an evening train from New London to Norwich, connecting with the five o'clock train from New York city, was discussed at this meet ing Heretofors the officials of the rail road have produced their records. which showed that the train was eliminated because of the poor patronage, show ing that in a period covering six months | the average daily patronage was seven A large number of the business men oi this city. when going to and from New | York, go to New London in their pri. vate cars. This situation was created 1 because of the poor connections fol l Norwich that heretofore have prevailed at times.
 The chamber of commerce invited 1 all those interested in tnfs subject tc submit their suggestions and thei, crit
 icisms, and also whether or not they ae
 sire to have an evening train from New
 London to Norwich. This is done in al
 effort to secure public opinion and sen tfment, and to learn if .here $ a req
 demand for this service If it is shcw1
 that the people of Norwich would 1ik to have an evening train restored. tn, | chamber of commerce will make evar-
 effort, backed by public opinion, to re
 place this train on the schedule. Ii f
 requested, therefore, that all those in
 terested in this matter communicat
 with or come to the chamber of com
 Tnerce office, and express their sentt

COMMERCE CHAMBER WILL
 OPPOSE DROPPING c, V, IT

It has been brought to the attention of the chamber of coEmerce that the Cen tral Vernon railroad is contemplating the removal of the sos a. m. train leav- ing Norwich and making connections for Hartford and other cities in that direc- ton. Should this train be removed, it will mean that Norwich people desiring to go to Hartford or cities in that direc- ton must, of necessity, leave Norwich at 6.17 a. m.
 It is believed that there is sufficient patronage of the sos train to warrant it being kept on the schedule. In any event the local chamber of commerce is taking the matter up direct with the officials of the railroad and unless it is proven through their records, that the retention Of this train on the scehdule is at loss, a vigorous protest will be presented by the chamber of commerce. The following letter has been sent to E. J. Guthrie, superintendent of the l New ondon-Norwich division of the Cen 1 tral Vermont railroad and a copy also 1 sent to J. W. Hanley, general pas E ger agent of the Central Vermont rahroad 1 located in St. Albans, Vermont 1 MT. E. J. Guthrie, Agent.
 l Central Vermont Union Station.
 New London, Conn.
 l Dear Sir: One of our business men in- | formed us that morning that the present l sos a. m. train from Norwich making l connections for Hartford was to be elim- l mated from the schedule.
 l We hare personally taken this matetl l up with your local representatives, an6 were ., 5rmed that they knew nothing 1 noth"-s of this matter officially They 1 did, however, have official notification 1 that the present 5.17 a. m. train would l leave Norwich one hour later, or GIT. If it is true that the sos train is ts be removed from the schedule, 1t would mean that Norwich would have but on. morning train, at 8, most unusual hour l making connections for Hartford ant other points in that direction. We believe that it is fo4. cuI best n1utu | al interests that the sos train be retain 1 ed on the schedule, and we respectful, | request you to give this matter furthe consideration
 Our transportation committee request
 an appointment with you, to give us a i opportunity to discuss thfs highly i'm
 portant matter vitally affecting, as does, the business interests of our city. Very truly yours

MRS. DENOME HAD
 A NARROW ESCAPE
If l Hadn't Got Tanlac When Did 1 Believe 1 Would Be An Invalid" Says Taftville Resident.

T believe I got Tanlac just in time to save me from being an invalid. said Mrs. Philip Denome, residing al Taftville, Conn. few days ago.
 Sfor about year l have snffer- ing from indigestion and for the last three months was in constant misery, be- ing sick at my stomach nearly all the time. After every meal 1 would bloat up with gas, which caused my heart to iiutter and often brought on dizziness. kept being more and more careful about my eating but went from bad to worse just the same. I was so nervous l could scarcely do my work and could not sleep more than half the night.
 If l had not gotten relief by taking Tanlac l feel sure l would have soon been so weak and nervous I would have had to give up entirely and take to my bed But Tanlac seemed to help me right from the start and my improvement has
 been so steady that three bottles have made me feel like a different person. am now eating many things I dared not touch before aGn l believe my stomach will soon be as good as new. The trouble I had from gas bleating is gon' altogether. my appetite is better and can feel myself getting stronger eveT7 1 day. l am sleeping so much better ina l get up mornings feeling refreshed ans l happy instead of tired and depressed a before. Tanlac is certainly wonderful. Tanlac is sold in Norwich by Nationa Drug Stores Corp, and Taftv.lle Pharm

BICYCLES AND AUTOS
 FREQUENT ACCIDENT CAUSE

Nearly 6 per cent. of the fatalities resulting last year fcon collisions of automobiles and bicycles were caused by bicyclists riding into the path If ap- preaching cars. it was shown by statis- tics of the state mo-or vehicle depart meDt made public this week Twenty five per cent. of them were due to bi- cyclists riding on the wrong side of the road.
 Because of the small space required on the road for a bicycle, many riders minimize the importance of their keep ing to the right, like other vehicles The result is that confusion invariably re- suits when a motor vehicle approaches The driver of the motor vehicle usual ly has learned to stick to the right at all times, but the pers stence of | bi- cyclist ir trying to "squeezc in'' on the Erong between the approa 3hing cai4 ! and the edge of the read frequently creates Q situation that causes both to turn out toward the certe" of the road l simultaneously.
