Admission to the A.

T. C. is "confined to students graduated from a atandard four year secondary school or having equivalent education qualifications." As the courses to be given in A. T. C.

are prescribed by the hear Board and are not the usual courses pursued in the college, entrance requirements to the S. A. T. C. are satisfied if the student is a graduate of any standard secondary school.

However, this course does not lead to a degree, for "in view of the comparatively short time during which most of the student soldiers will remain in college and the exacting military duties awaiting them, academic instruction must necessarily be modined along lines of direct military value." As soon as possible after registration day, September 12th, 1918. students eighteen years of age and older at the college will be given the opportunity of voluntary induction into the Students' Army Training corps. The student by voluntary induction becomes a soldier in the United States Army, uniformed, subject to military discipline, and with the pay of a private. Officers, uniforms, rifles, and such other equipment as may be available be furnished by the war department. In view of the fact that soldiers will be on actie duty statue from the time they are inducted, the government will assume the expense of housing, subsistence, and instruction of the students.

They will be given military instruction under the officers of the army and will be kept under observation and a test to determine their qualifications as officer and technical experts, such as engineers, and doctors. It cannot definitely stated how long a student remain at the college. This will depend on the requirements of the mobilization and the age group to which the student belongs. Students must pay their own expenses from their registration in the college on Sept. to Oct.

1st, for in order to be accepted in the S. A. T. C. they must first be enrolled as college students.

In addition to the course prescribed by the war department the regular classical course will be continued for students under eighteen years of age, or fo rthose who may not be admitted to the S. A. T. C. However, those who wish to enter the classical course must meet the usual requirements, as specified in the catalogue.

Following is the paper: Headquarters First Military District, Connecticut Home Guard. Hartford, Sept.

12, 1918. Circular No. 1. 1. The enthusiasm which marks the opening of the drill season confirms the prophecy of the most optimistic.

The high standard set has been tained, so that today we boast for the companies as a whole, troops not only zealous but well trained. Now devote energy to maintaining that standarchanges in personnel need not excessive. Net through the draft is not -likely to be heavy, for two reasons: older men, men in responsible positions and men with families are not to be taken in large numbers and, second, men at present outside the ranks will see the Importance of "joining up." "Wear the uniform over there or here" will be the sentiment, and moron men than ever- we mistake character Connecticut citizen--will welcome the opportunity the State Guard furnishes. (b) The loss of men into associate branches of war work, -federalized but civilian, should be only nominal, since a moment's reflection shows that the state's and the country's requirement is that such an institution as this must be maintained- and be maintained by the highest type of citizens. (c) Likewise in the industries: Since this first requirement here mentioned is fundamental for the orderly pursuit of all cupations employers and employes will gladly arrange their affairs to provide the small amount of time necessary for reasonable training.

Not a alone the recognized need of the Guard but also the patriotic spirit engendered must be appreciated by everybody and every concern. Promptly rapont any who may fail to appreciate it. 2. Company commanders, on proper approval, will co-operate in all 1o- cal "war work" where there is an explicit plan, with instructions and sys-never in a haphazard way, no matter what the plea. Commanders will be held strictly to this, to end that there shall be uniformly dignity and respect.

3. Attention of battalion and company commanders is requested to S. 0., No. 35, these headquarters, May 31, c. eliminating, however, application to final ten minutes of drill.

Bayonet drill and riot drill are added to requirements. No feature of the latter which would be confusing in time of excitement except for men drilling every day--will be introduced. Rifle practice must be further enco: aged. 4. All officers including Reserve corps, are reminded.

(without further notice) that quarterly meeting of the association comes on the evening of Sept. 28-every unit to be represented and men on the eligible list welcome. By direction of Col. Charles W. Burpee.

and there seems to be ample proof of the efficacy of this preparation to warrant the recommendation. Moreover, if we judge from the countless preparations and treatments whick are continually being advertised for the purpose of making fleshly, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need Frederick S. Kolie, M.

By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing.

Clinical tests made in St. Catherine's Hospital, N. Y. showed that two Miss Josephine Davis, reporting her 0wn experience with BITRO PHOSPHATE, says: "It is remarkable what it did for me. After a few days began to regain my strength, felt full of life, was able to sleep soundly and all my little troubles seemed to disappear.

I gained twelve pounds in four patients gained in weight 23 and pounds, respectively, through the administration of this organic phosphate; both patients claim they have not felt as strong and well for the past twelve years. This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow the bloom of perfect health.

Bitro-Phosphate is made entirely of the organic phosphate compound referred to in the National Standard Dispensatory as being an excellent tonic and nervine and a preparation which has recently acquired considerable reputation in the treatment of neurasthenia.

Bitro-Phosphate is therefore not a patent medicine and should not be confused with any of the secret nostrums, so-called tonics or widely advertised "cure-alls." CAUTION: Although Bitro-Phos.
