Officer Howard A. Elliott to see to it that MT. Futile performs his duties.
 On the report of three cases of rabies being existent in the town of Norwich within three days, and one Norwich rabid deg running into the town of Montville, after conference with the deputy com missioner of health, Dr. Stanley Osborne, 1st selectman and health officer of Nor wich 1 issued the quarantine order now in effect, and have consistently insisted on it's enforcement, which has resulted in the killing of a considerable number of dogs and the prosecuting of several own CTS for failure to observe this quarantine.
 Up to the present time the only com plaint or complaints that I have received from the town or city of Norwich are to the effect that MT. F. L. Futile, dog warden, has enforced the law and the dog quarantine order as directed by me so to do. I have made investigation and found to my full satisfaction that he is efficient in performing the duties of his cffice, and I am of the firm belief that the disease of rabies will not spread out of that town or city through any fault or failure on his part.
 In the interest of humanity, anyone with any knowledge of the disease or rdDleS or ny uEOpLCD4d NOu4tt CSl IdI444S bC most misguided in opposing, or failure to back the eradication of this disease, and it is with considerable disappoint- ment that I read your letter on the off ciaI stationary of your commission crlti- cizing a properly appointed officer of the law, criticizing the law under which he is acting and the proper and necessary means to eradicate an incurable and
 fatal disease to domestic animals and
 human beings.
 Regarding the acceptance, lacally, and the propriety of the appointment for F.
 L. Futile, dog warden, the chief of police,
 George Linton, Casper K. Bailey, Chas. P. Bushnell and Patrick Cornell, select
 men for the town of Norwich signed appointment for said F. L. Futile, I con firmed this appointment by the chief of police and the selectmen of the town of
 Norwich by an appointment from this
 office on May 18th, 1921.
 I think you will agree that your off cial whom you have described as little better than thug" has received proper credentials, also, in the interest of hu-
 manfty will you kindly transfer your criticisms of the official acts of F. l. Futile, dog warden for the town and city
 of Norwich to the undersigned, who, by
 virtue of his office assumes this respon-
 sibility and would further suggest that
 your misguided friends who are presum- ing to speak for the people of your com
 munity also follow the same course. Letter to Dog Warden.

BONDS OF CONNECTICUT
 ARE IN GOOD DEMAND

The bonds offered by the state of Connecticut Wednesday are the first , per cent coupon bonds that the state has ever issued and a comparison of yield indicates the bonds were sold at the lowest price which the state has ever received for any of it's issues. The last sale of Connecticut state bonds was m January 1920, when the state received approximately a 44O basis for an issue of Is 1-2 year average f per cent bonds The present sale was made on approx imately a 4.6S basis. The syndicate which bought them reports that the de- mand for these bonds has far exceeded their expectations.
 The fnancial condition of Connect icut is remarkable with q total out standing bonded indebtnes3 of approx- imately S16,2s1.10O against which a sinking fund and cash on hand of S10,- 49S,673 has been set aside, leaving a net debt of only s5,792,427.
 Tho ratio of the states net debt to the assessed valuation of the property n the state is less than four tenths of one per cent.
 T. is interesting to compare the pres ert offering price of the state of Con- necticut bonds with the present income return from two ot1er state issues with which they may fairly be compared. viz: those of Massachusetts and New York
 The New York bonds of 1928 are of efred at this time on approximately 2 GO basis against which may be credited approximately the O.o02 local exemption feature, making the present selling prica equivalent to a 4,80 basis
 The Massachusetts bonds of 1886 are now valued at approximatE a 4.40 Lasis to which must be credited the To- ca, tax exemption which is worth ap- pr9ximately one-haf of one ner cent making the bonds equivalent to approx lr'ately a 4s0 basis
 Poth of these bords may be compared by the offering prics of the present issue of the Connecticut bonds on a 4.50 ba. s's which, with their local exemption of o.oo4 are equivalent to a 490 basis.

rY-..s tie:
 Realizing the hard position in which you are placed in enforcing my arbitrary quarantine of dogs in the town and city or NorWlch, and judging from letters of crILiclsm already received in this office, ana rom reports of my special deputy. Howard A. Elicit, I wish to commend your action.
 It seems to me that you are efficiently and consistently enforcing the dog laws ana my quarantine order, and I wish to assure you that you have the full back ing of this department Should you meet with any criminal interference in the proper pursuance of your duties I would like very much to be informed.
 l am enclosing copy of reply mailed this day to Dr. J. J. Donohue. compen- sation commissioner of the Second Dis trict of Connecticut which I think will explain itself.
 l am depending on you and the dog wardens in this quarantraed areal to i eradicate absolutely the disease of rabies that the quarantine may be eventually lifted and New London county may be relieved from this present situation. In eradicating the disease of rabies you are | not tnly protecting human life, as this disease is known 10 be incurable if pro- l lection of Pasteur Urea tment is not ob- 1 tained, but you are protecting the spread ] of this disease not only among large number of valuable dogs, but all other domestic animals.
 Within six years two persons died of ] hydrophobia contracted by dog bites in the state of Connecticut The epidemic Of four years ago cost the state a great many thousand dollars in Pasteur treat ment as well as the loss of hundreds of valuable animals. The recurrence of this | epidemic, I believe, will be prevented by | absolutely stopping any spread of this 1 disease from your town and city.

TOO MUCH TO EXPECT

THOSE who express the hope that
1 the ornaments conference will
''save the world from bankruptcy are
crediting that conference with too much
power. The conference can save the
world from unnecessary expenses for
war preparedness, but that is relatively
small matter. What the world needs
is to get back to work. Lower military
expenditures will help lot but what
we really need most is an end of the
idea which is supreme in Russia and al.
together too strong in many other ma
tions that the Governments can do
everything for the people. Individual
self reliance and individual effort must
be brought into full action In order to
restore world prosperity.

The Door Slams
On Happiness
Poor Blood Makes Bad heaIth.-
Then Come The "BIues"

Once the vigor of red blood becomes
sapped of its strength. the door to hap.
piness is literally slammed. WEAKNESS
of BODY follows and. it unfailingly en-
genders depressed thoughts. TO be re-
served and cheerless becomes habit.
After time there is an almost filmy
dimness in the expression OF the eyes
and pallor to the skin. Days seem
dull and dark and difficult. A sense of
insufferable gloom pervades the spirit.
Then it is that Guides Pepto-Mangan
is the great help. 1t is red blood
builder. 1t puts red into the blood-in-
creases the number of corpuscles which
make blood rich and red. When the
blood is restored to Its natural healthy
state, the sensation of well-being re-
turns. Instead Of shuffiing along care
Iessly, there is the firm and springy
step, the bright lustertul eyes, the clear
complexion, identified with the strength
and vigor of good health. The druggist
has GUIDES Pepto- Mangan in both liquid
and tablet form. Advertisement.
