The Hewes amendment is practically the Purcell amendment which the senate rejected except that it is made germane to the Isbell bill { 4nd socks to eliminat about twenty- two sections of the twenty-five in the Isbell bill, and inserts the follow- ing: “It shall constitute sufficient cause ¢ for removal from office for any mem- ber of the commisslon or any officer or employe, of any institution, depart- ment, or commission in the classified service of the state, to solicit Tfunds for political purposes or to inten~ ticnaily by sclicitation or otherwise, exert his influence directly or indi- rectly, to induce any person to acs cept kis political views or to favor any political candidate for office.” Sunshine Society.

Others of the cast are most pleasing and the play bids fair to be a great success. Tickets are selling well and can be purchased of members or at the door. Dancing will follow tha play, Lynch’'s orchestra. Refresh- ments will be served. Candy furnished for the play on Friday can be left at Turner hall any time during the afternoon.

MORAL SUPPORT TO BE GIVEN LYCEUM Chamber of Commerce Theater Party to Bo Held Next Tuesday Evening, Feb. 23, § The moral support of the New Brit- ain Chamber of Commerce will be giv- en the Russwin Lyceum next Tues- day night when a theater party will be held. The play to be presented at that time will be “Forty-five Minutes From Broadway.” A meeting of ‘the directors of the Mercantile bureau was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms this morning to consider the theater prob- lem of this city. The Business Men’s association; before its membership was absorbed by the Mercantile bureau, indorsed the theater and'the quality of the company and the pro- ductions given here. The efforts of the association to keep the company intact helped the theater situation materially. Although the members of the Mer- cantile bureau do not wish to have the Chamber of Commerce officially indorse the company, there is a gen- eral feeling that the theater ought to be supported. The quality of the productions and the excellence of the company, they feel, should warrant a better patronage. Manager T. J. Lynch, who recently assumed the management of the stock company, is making a special effort to secure heavier shows, and the members of the Mercantile bureau think that next week will be a favorable time to indi- cate their interest in the theater. Secretary A. H. Andrews left this aftepnoon for Springfiéld to attend the annual convention of the West- ern New England Chamber of Com- merce to be held in the Board of { Trade rooms. Ernest Fox Nichols, president of Dartmouth college, and ex-President William Howard Taft are the principal speakers. Safety First. Buy your eggs here and you're sure to be safe.

In the absence of Speaker Healev, Mr. Hyde of Manchester presided in the house. A change in the present laws re- quiring compulsory vaccination of children who attend public schools will not be made, as five bills unfavorably reported, and which called for modi- fication of the present vaccination laws were rejected in the house without & word being said in their favor. Unfavorable Reports. Among other umfavorable reports received were those which would have changed the minimum legal length of trout, prohibited public sale of pickerel and perch caught in state than twenty pickerel in one day, and changing the close season on bass. Favorable reports were made on bills concerning the finance (19[)2\!_‘[- ment in Milford, and giving fire dis- tricts authority to collect garbage and ashes at the expense of the district. Forfeited Rights Restored. Among forfeited rights restored by the house were those of Willlam H. Holley, a former bank official at Stamford, who was convicted of em- bezzlement. The house rejected in concurrence resolutions in behalf of Henry J. King of Meriden and Mr., Aaronson of An- scnia for judgeships. g Mr. Martin of the excise committee asked for use of the house chamber for hearings on March 2 and 8 on the limitation bills, providing for one liquor license to each 1,000 inhabi- tants, but out of courtesy to the ladies he withdrew the request when Mr. Shaw of Redding for the constitution- al amendments committee said the hearings on the equal suffrage amend- ment had been assigned for the chamber on the same dates. Each side will have an afternoon. ‘Wants Report Withheld. Representative Vaill of~Winchester, who is a member of the economy com- miission, requested chairmen of com- mittees, which had before them bills providing for consolidation of various state departments, commissions and beards, to’ withhold Teports until after the special committee which is investigating this subject has made i report, and also to submit to the co: mission copies of arguments p sented at the committee hearin Some discussion followed during which" Mr. Vaill said he did not believe it necessary for committees to withheld hearings of the individual = bills T whatever was brought out at the hear- ings would give the commission ad- ditional . information. | OLIVET TO CALVARY, ST. MARK’S CANTATA Full Vested Choir of Thirty-five Men and Boys Will Sing Sacred Piece. “Olivet to Calvary,” a cantata by Maunder will be sung next Sunday eve- ning at St. Mark’s church by the tull vested choir of thirty-flve men -and boys. “Olivet to Calvary,” recalls simply and reverently the scenes which maric the last few days of the Savior’s life I on earth, and some of the reflections suggested thereby. The rejoicing of the muititude with hosannas and psalms, the view of Jerusalem from the steep of Olivet, the lament over the beauti- ful city the scene n the temple, and the lonely walk back over the Mount at night, form the chief features o the first part. Part IL. opens with the Supper of the Passover, at which Jesus washes his desciple’s feet, and gives to His friends the new commandant of love for one another as the sins of true de- scipleship. From this the scene pass- es to the infinite pathos of the Gar- den of Gethsemane, the sudden ap- pPearance of the hostile crowd, Jesus forsaken by his desciples, His utter lonliness among ruthless foes, the tu- mult before Pilate in the Judgement hall, the Passage of the Cross, the tragedy and triumph of Calvary. BILE AND BILIOUSNESS Coated tongue, bitter taste in the mouth, indigestion, headache, lack of appetite, constipation and a feeling of fatigue are effects of excessive secretion | of bile. This condition iscalled biliousness and points directly to the need of something to regulate the liver. For this purpose Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly superior to old-fashioned liver medicines which over-stimulate the liver and, when their use is stopped, leave it more torpid than before. inklets are tiny, sugar- coated granules that do not upset the stomach or cause griping. Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for free sample or get a full-size 25-cent bottle of Pinklets | from your own druggist.

Zenovski's Spouse Leaves Him for Third Time—Her Where- Anthony Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid. Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, caled uric acid, which is gene- rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blpod. Tt is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also-a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. | In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and ‘muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- ful in a g of water and drink be- fore st each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric | acia by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by | thousands of folks who are subject to | rheumatism. Here you have a pleas- | ant, effervescent lithia-water drink | which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well, abouts Unknown. One Wife.
