Getting a living is a problem, It's the object of your business life—win- ning a livellhood—and getting that little modicum more than a living that makes life worth while. I travel on the hypothesis that you are mak- ing a living, and I am going to talk about something else, to wit, livi SURE WAY TO GET RID OF DANDRUFF End Itching Scalp and Stop Falling Hair—at Once. is one sure way that never faiis to remove dandruff completely 4nd that is to dissolve it. This de- stroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liguid arvon; apply it at night when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will complete- 1y dissolve and entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it no matter hew much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in- stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. It you want to keep your hair look- ing tich, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair #o quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out. but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, trittle and lifeless, and everybody uctices it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive; There . threads interweave and make a at $97.50. : Look elsewhere, then come and look here. N S The health of your family depends on the purity of your Ice Box.

A wise re- mark was Mr. Bennett's and not to be contradicted. The cat that sits by the fire has twenty-four hours a day. We can't extend the hours by a minute; neither can the cat, for both the cat and we have lost the touch of Aladdin's wonderful lamp and H. G. Wells' time machine. A part of the twenty-four hours we use for mak- ing a living. The rest we use, or ought to use, for hiving a living. Of course, the hours dedicated to making a. living ought to be used in living a living: otherwise your work would not be good. I separate out the making a living from living a living merely for 1hetorical purposes. My point is, therefore, don’t spend all we have occasionally. The world is too wonderful and life is too short to waste many minutes. With some hesitation, I beg to say that spring has come. I do not mean to burst into poetry, but with all caution I remark, we ought to blossom u little. We ought to follow a young ran's fancy. The orchards in Plain- ville will be as beautiful as orchards ever are when it's apple blossom time in Normandy. They won't look any the worse because Normandy is a sweeter sounding word possibly than Plain- ville. Train your eye to see the shimmering green in the woods on the Farmington road. Take the thunder or the sunshine as it comes. Both are beautiful. Learn to know that when an evening mist in summer de- scends upon your factory roofs and chimneys, by a touch of the hand of God, they are transformed into castle battlements and towering minarets, Keep your éyes open and shining with a light of intelligent appreciation, and some day, some generations from now, some Plainville boy or girl will, with words or color, make Plainville as famous as any storied mediaeval town. To put the same idea in another way: get acquainted with your neighbor- hood. Forget that anyone has ever de- scribed this earth as a dim spot where men sit and hear each other groan, where palsy shakes a few sad last gray hairs. It isn’t true, unless you have chronic dyspepsia and are very blue. Life is bubbling and. bursting and joyous now, and so far as we are concerned tonight, Plainville is the center of it, and so far as you who live in Plainville are con- cerned, Plainville is always the center of it. Get acquainted with this Plainville. Do your duty in it. I do rot mean the work you have to do to make your lving. You ought to do that anyway. Do the other things that help you live your living. Be healthy, sane members of a com- munity and the community will be healthy and sane automatically. Each of the men and women in Plainville lcads a‘life that has its proportion of joy and sorrow, ambition and despair, ard in leading that life each one spins a thread. The lives interlace; the web and four ounces is all you will need.! that vou call the community life of This simpje remedy has never been|! Flainville. ‘known to fail. . s living.

Keep what little land yYou own or have in control in con- dition. The absence of grass, and flowers in your dooryard hurts Plain- ville. Their presence helps. The idea of individual responsibility put in this way is oppressive, but it's true. And keep your hearts light. Sing as you go, or if yow are afraid to sing, or the neighbors prevent you, at least smile. And hélp turn away the world from evil, as her song does when Pippa passes. “Curbstone Loafers” Control Meetings W. C. Norris, of Willimantic, a “boostér” for the State Business Men's association, interspersed a number of witty stories in his remarks. He spoke for some time, however, serious- ly, saying among other things: “We wish to speak with you a few minutes upon the work of the Bus- iness Men’s associations, both local and state; the need of the associa- tion, its work, and how to make it effective. Associations have been needed since the days of ‘Adam’s loneliness.” Bach has its special work. This is a day of association and combination. Combinations of men and capitdl are absolutely nec- essary today to carry on the great business of our country. No doubht some great corporations needed to be placed upon the operation-table and the knife used but it is not good business policy to keep them there until all vitality and power of recu- peration has been exhausted. We cannot do without these combinations of brains and money. Had it not been for these, 1 would have been obliged to walk here today to find nothing but a howling wilderness. Better Public Sentiment, “Your association is a combination of men with brains to further the business interests of this community and commonwealth. You have a special work that no other associa- tion can perform. The interests of Plainville require the united efforts of her business men for the making of a better public sentiment, better homes, better citizenship, better laws, better enforcement of the present law and an uplifting of community in- terests in general. If you have not already done this, your work is in- complete. Do you need better schools, streets, sidewalks, churches, Sunday observances, taxation, labor conditions, business protection? Is| the prass in full sympathy with your work ? It is a power that should! help mold the future of your coin-| munity and is wgrth your attention Make known your policies and ask for the support of the press in form- ing public opinion. We must be | progressive or be relegated to the ‘Island of Has-been.’ “Your support of the state asso- ciation work has been greatly ap-; preciated. The strength of the State association depends upon the individ- ual effort. of each local association. ! Connecticut | fr!

Sherrod Soule of Hartford. the last orator on the program, had no diffi- culty in holding his audience attentive He gave a masterly address on “Inter- locking Interests,” using business, politics and ideals as the essential points of his talk. Pleading with his auditors to take pride in their own state, of which he believed they had every reason to beast, Mr. Soule started the serious part of his speech with a remarkable description of a recent visit to Cali- fcrnia. Describing what Connecticut does for other parts of the country hé related some features of his stay at the home of a friend in San Francisco. “This man,” said the clergvman, “had something of self esteem and appre- ciation or environment as is imbued in many of the men of the west and he could see no comparison with any part of the Past and California.” California is an entire letter while is but the stamp, Mr. Soule was told. He agreed with his risco friend that such might be the e but it should be remembered that it is the stamp that really makes the letter go. “We in California are in- dependent of evervone,” Mr, Soule nd remarked. However, explained the speaker, when he went on a tour of inspection in his friend’s house, he found nearly every part of the build- ing, vith the exception of the wood- work, and the silverware used on the | tuble were products of Connecticut. | “Even the andirons in front of the fireplace,” Mr. Soule continued, “were made in Plainville,” { holds { views on the Philippine question | Forinfants,invalids and growing children. Mr. Soule expressed the belief that, the interests of the people of all parts of the country interlock and he thought nothing should ever be done that would unduly favor one portion; of the country to the detriment of the other. | While he did not mention his name, | Mr. Soule made a strong plea, for the ! support of President Wilson and se- verely brought to task men who are ] such slaves to partisanship that it} makes them unable to see many things that are good. He declared it makes him indignant to hear anyone speak- ing of the head of the government say “fhat he is only a minority man anyway." The speaker declared he no brief for the occupant of the office, but he thought should be given a fair chance. In selecting a selectman, he thought ; it folly to consider the candidates’ or the tariff. “Honesty and efliciency are in reality the only essentials the ! voter should think of, the political party with which he is affiliated be ing of no great moment,” he declared “Things seen are but temporal while those unseen are eternal,” said the speaker in branching from bus-} iness and politics to ideals. He thought that despite Carnegie’s state- ment there is more of an ideal in business than simply the search for} the dollar and he bclieved busines | men on the whole try to give equive- | § lent for what they receive and make an effort to do something that \\'HI: be of benefit to the world as well their individual purse.
