soon afterwards James W. Perry ,consoli-
 dated his office with that of William D. Manning, and with them were Isaac Bromley and J. Homer Bliss as partners. The company was known as Manning,
 Bliss & Co.,, and on Dec. 15, 1858, The
 Norwich Bulletin made it's first appear
 ance.
 In 1876 Mir. Bliss commenced the com pilation of family statistics, the result being the publication by him of the Bliss Family Geneology' in 1881. during. a temporary residence in Boston, Mass. In
 connection with this work he travelled widely and made many valued acquaint-
 ances, among them being the late George S. Porter of Norwich.
 For several years succeeding 1878 he
 was a contributor over the signature of '.Xylo' to the Printers Miscellany, a trade paper published in St. Johns, New
 Brunswick. In the spring of 1881 he became con- nected with the Attleboro Advocate as compositor and contributor under the editorial management of MT. Mowton, remaining there until January 1887 when he removed to Plainfield and for i years was connected with the Plainfeld i and Moosup Journals as ,compositor. | For some twenty years he was a 1 local reporter for that paper and for several years furnished news items for | The Bulletin. | MT. Bliss was charter member of i Norwich Typographical Union No. 100 | MT. Bliss is survived by two nephews 1 Homer Crane and George Henry Bliss i and one niece, Anna Maria Bliss. He was never married and his only brother George Porter Bliss, died on February 1 5, 1906. During his many years of life Mr 1 Bliss saw The Bulletin, which he-had proposed, grow from a small daily, +c l the leading paper in eastern Connect. ] cut. today, and to, see the policy of .hE
 founders, that the paper be family 1 newspaper, carried out.
 1 He was a man eminently pacific 1T l disposition, very domestic and regular in habits, seldom indulging in visits and then only at the call of business He was a musician of talent and wa! l often called upon as organist when va cancies occurred. He was outspoken fearless and had a genial nature. IT his death the world loses another mar l of the old school, so little seen today l MT Bliss was man who believed 1T
 his God and his country and lived hi life without blemish.
 Funeral services are to be held at ? m. this (Saturday) afternoon from tn
 late home in Plainfield. Rev. William c. Prentiss will officiate. Burial is tt Rbe at North Hampton, Mass.

THE TORTURE OF
 INDIGESTION !
Thousands R elieved By Taking ''Fruit-a-tives
The Famous Fruit Medicine

What Is Indigestion and what causes 1t? As you know, solid food must be changed into liquid by the stomach before 1t can be taken up as nourish- ment by the blood.
 The stomach acts as a ehurn. It is covered by a strong, muscular coat and lined with a soft, delicate mem brane which secretes the Gastric Juice which digests or dissolves solid :ood
 When food enters the stomach, the muscular coat squeezes and presses the food from end to end, or churns 1t, with the gastric juice to dissolve or digest it.
 Buff the stomach muscles are weak-or if the dissolving fluid is poor or manifestation food cannot be aigested properly and you have Indi- gsstion.
 "Fruit-a lives" or "Fruit Laxo Tab lets" are made from concentrated and intensified fruit juices and tonics. They will positively cure Indigestion and Dyspepsia because they tone up he stomach, bowels, kidneys and kin, and thus insure pure gastric juice and improved digestion.
 Fruit -tives," the only medicine made from fruit juices, will correct your Indigestion and enable you te 'njOy every meal Try this wonderful 'ruit medicine.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
 THE BUILDING INDUSTRY

Boston, Dec 2s The impetus given to general business by the activity in the building industry this yead in all prob ability will continue well into the coming years, says the monthly review of the federal reserve bank of Boston, issued tonight
 "The. majority of business men and bankers in New Englaffd," the review says, "are looking forward hopefully yet cautiously to 1923, especially the earlier part. of the year. Manufacturers, jo5bers Gnd retail merchants alike have operated pn a, hand-to-mouth basis throughout the past year, keeping their stocks as small IS possible. Actual consumption of goods, on the other hand, has been large aIi dis at present exceptional, as is shown by the enormous total of holiday pur- :hases.
 With retail merchants stocks low and their outstanding orders small it would seem that merchants must call on wholesale jobbers and manufacturers for large quantities of goods during the next lew months. This in turn would result in ! high rate of manufacturing activity.
 "The year 1922 will go down in busi- ness history as one of exceptional build Ing activity. There is a shortage of building mechanics in many sections oi New England, as in some other parts ot the country, an1 wages ars-co consequently nigh. The building industry win prob ably have to watch construction costs more closely during the next year than It has in 1922, because they. are con. slderably higher than they were veal ago.
 Looking ahead into 1928 the prospects seem, ' to be good. contingent among other factors on the willingness and Guilty of merchants and consumers tc Duy merchandise at theN higher prices necessitated by increasing wholesale tuotatlons and also on that other i'm. Dortant factor, the foreig nsituation.
 Undoubtedly ene of the most optimis. .ic factors in the whole situation is tn, Iound conditions of tho banking systems # the country"

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful eff
feet.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store fer bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get this famous old preparation, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at time.
BY morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
