SUES NoANK MAN TO
 GET BACK HIS PROPERTY

Earl L. Wilson of Providence has brought suit in the superior court against Roswell A. Lamb of Noank to get back property worth sS.090 which Wilson claims he was induced by misrepresenta- tion to deed to Lamb.
 The plaintiff Wilson represents that he is the sole heir and surviving husband of Ella Lamb of Groton. who died July 23, 1915s On or about July IT, 1916, it is claimed that Roswell Lamb represented that he had made q will leaving most of his property to Wilson and he thereby induced Wilson, who is of advanced years, to agree that, if Lamb would re- main unmarried, Wilson would allow Lamb to have the life use of Wilson's s undivided half interest in the estate of his mother, Ella Lamb. during Lamb s lifetime in consideration of paying the taxes and other expenses on the prop erty.
 On Oct. 16. 1916, it is claimed that Wilson was induced by Lamb fraudu- lently and without due consideration to execute an instrument purporting to con- vey the use of the half interest but which was in fact a quit-claim deed to Lamb of all Wilson's right, title and interest.
 Since Oct. IS. 1916, Lamb has again married and his wife is living with him.
 Wilson asks the court to order the deed delivered up and cancelled, to have the interest in the property vested in him and for an accounting from July 23, 1916

Tells Why Men
 Grew Thin After
 Leaving the Army
SUGGESTS WAY FOR THEM TO REGAIN WEIGHT, STRENGTH,
 CLEAR SKIN, VITALITY.
HIS TIP IS GOOD FOR WOMEN ALSO

For those not familiar with the vital part Vitamines play in health, it may be sad that most foods contain Nitamine, but this vital element is often destroyed in cooking, canning or preparing. In the army, navy, sanltariums, etc. men and women are led a scientific diet, rich in Vitamines, and quickly grow stronger, robust. rosy, and free of skin troubles. As soon as they leave the army or navy and the scientifc diet. and start choosing their own foods, they usually grow thin, weak, pale and .anemic. That is why doctors, medical journals, hospitals, pub lie health officials and chemists urge people to get more Vitamines. This ex- plains why many people are eating yeast which is rich in Vltamine B.
 Local druggists recommend tiny tab- let, which is very easy to take, and con- tains a proper dose of both Water and Fat Soluble Vitamines in highly concen- trated form. Results are quick. more | economical and, being made expressly fol medicinal use, are better for you.
 People in a half-sick, pale, thin, under. nourished condition report they have taken these Phos-Pho Vitamine Tablets 1 three or four weeks and gained weight strength, color. freedom from boils. pirn pies, carbuncles, etc, and new bouyancJ and vigor. The reader can secure a bot
 tie of sixty Phos-Pho Vitamine Tablet. at the nearest drug store or send Sl
 plus 4c war tax, to Irving Laboratory | Wheeling, ". Va.

NO RESIDENT DOCTORS IN
 4e TOWNS IN STATE

Though with the telephone, the auto mobile and fast increasing network of good roads, it is possible to summon a physicians to any part of Connecticut up- on short notice, it remains a fact that there are forty-six towns in this state where there are no registered physicians It would seem that this state offers several good localities for a. general practitioner to hang out his shingle, and indeed, such is the case according to Dr. John T. Black, state commissioner of health, and Dr. Robert L. Rowley of Hartford, secretary of the examining board of the Connecticut Medical socie- ty.
 The medical movement toward the 1 cities has left 5lose numerous small hamlets that are on the edge of larger towns or cities with no doctor in the neighborly precincts and without those | fine personal relationships that formerly Aexisted between the country physician 1 and the residents of his community. i The list of towns in Eastern Connecti- cut that are without a doctor, as con- tained in the last edition of the state register is: Andover, Ashford, Bolton, Bozrah, Brooklyn. Canterbury, Chaplin, Columbia, Eastford, Franklin, Hebron, Lebanon, Ledyard, Fisbon, Salem, Scot | land, Sterling Union.
