Beriin News B o e et TV e - e e ey et BRICK COMPANIES " HAD FAIR SEASON Eleménts afid Labor Troubles Cut Output One-Third OPTIMISM FOR THE FUTURE Sewing Society of Kensington Church Lays Threatened Rumpus Fails to terialize—That Bridge Again. With the exception of the East Ber- lin Brick company’s plant, practically mll the brickyards have closed for the season. There has been much to hamper the manufacturers the past summer but all say they consider the season very successful. Even now the companies are making preparations or the 1916 season, the belief being business will surpass that of recent years. Man and the elements combined to make the past season smaller than ordinary. Along with the labor unrest in other parts of the state, Berlin bric¥men had their share. Not only was labor hard to get but wages were considerably higher than usual. summer was unusually wet for the in- dustry, the heavy rains of August moistening the clay so at one time it was thought would be necessary to stop the manufacture of brick. But perseverance finally came into its own and the owners will in all prob- declare dividends. 1t is possi- e the weather and the labor troubles cut the output one-third. However, he brickmen feel the season has been I succsss and look for better luck next rummer.

Meeting and Social. The Berlin Grange held its monthly meeting last night. After the meet- ing a social hour followed. It was thought there would be much ado concerning the financial side of the food table conducted by the soclety during [air week, but it did not even cause a ripple. The chairman of the committee in charge of the table sent a check to the society for over one half of the amount cleared and ‘it is felt the balance will be pald shortly. Aside from that matter the general public has no interest in the meeting. All attending waited for the social hour which followed and they report a good time. Solos were rendered by -Mrs. Selena Fitzgerald and Mrs. Minnie Gibbs. Miss Minnie Gibbs read a paper A guessing contest was then indulged in, Mrs. Lawrence Wat- kins being in charge. George Carter won the gentleman’s first prize and Allan Dean the second. The ladies first prize was awarded to Mrs. George Dunham and the second to Miss Hor- tense Loiselle. Mr. Muller gave a very interesting talk. With the Town Clerk. Several warantee deeds have been filed at the town clerk’s office C. W. Stevens has {ransferred one-eighth acre of land to Frances E.

Moore has transferred five parcels to E. Allen Moore of New Britain. One is bounded on the north and west by the highway, on the east by land of Jane Loney and on the south by land of E. A. Moore.

Campfire Girls Busy. The Kanxi campfire girls are very these days making preparations the play which they will present at the town hall Friday evening. The Litle of the play is “In Every Land, br the Law of the Campfire.” The lperformance will show, as the title gnifies, the working of the organi: tion in different countries. ach na- tion will be rcpresented by a girl i ive costume. All of e darticipants have appeared on the age at previous plays given by the ganization, so it is felt the perfor- mance will be capably presented. [ \This will be the first presemtation \ vl west by highway and lands of Edwin Moore and on the south by land of Edwin Moore. Concerning the Roads. The roads in this town have been the cynosure of neighboring eyes for scme time. It is expected the turn- nike bridge will be completed in a few days and then remarks concerning it will be of a laudatory, rather than a condemnatory nature. . The town has spent _considerable I'money in putting the detours into !shape. These have pleased some and I not others. The Hartford Courant had the following item concerning | them’ this morning. “‘Autoists and drivers of teams of jany kind passing to and from past | Berlin in either direction will be glad 1o know that the east side detour has been scraped and widened and is now | quite as comfortable for riding as the average macadam roadway. The de- tour on the west side past the Berlin i fair grounds, which was not quite as bad as the other detour, is still un- cared for, There hasg been little choice as to comfort between the two i detours, but the ecast side now beats the west to a frazzle.” Briefs. _Andre\\' “Reck” Bernardo of Ken- slngtox:|_ has accepted a position with the Winchester Arms company of New Haven. M. D. Hooper of Winsted is visiting friends in town, Albert DeMars of Kensington spending a few days in New York. It is rumored this morning that some of the women in Kensington were contemplating forming a suf- frage society. d The Board, chosen at the water meeting last Friday, met with Dr. Griswold last night and arranged pre- liminary plans for its work.

Bome people enjoy cold weather, take pleasure in winter sports and the keen air calls the pink to their cheeks and the red to their lips. Others shrink from cold and turn blue at the least exposure to frosty air. The difference is in the blood. Rich, red blood arms the body. Every long brca'th of pure cold air increases the oxy- g‘eq it carries to every part of the system. hin blood is unable to take up the life- sustaining oxygen. The body lacks nour- ishment and the sufferer is always cold, takes a chill easily and is miserable all ‘winter. Thin blood is largely the sufferer’s own fault. It results from neglect, because the blood can bebuilt .. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pill: supply thc -lements that the blood needs to mak~ i rich and red and to enable it tocarr; - 1or oxygen.

REED AND MISS MITCHELL WED Local Young Lady _the Bride of Former Plainville Resident HORSE ON RETIRED LIST Coates Gets Off With Fine—Dr. Moody Gives Away Valuable Horse Rather Than Sell It To Strangers— Two Constables Fail to Qualify. With Rev. A. A. Houck, pastor of the Methodist church officiating, Miss Katherine Mitchell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Mitchell of North Washington street, and Harold Edgar Reed of Bristol, were united in marriage this afternoon at 2:30. ! The wedding took place at the home of the bride's parents, which was prettily decorated with autumn foli- age for the occasion. The bridal- party entered the parlor, where the ceremony was performed to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march, played by Miss Edna An- drews. The bride was attractively gowned in a dress of white chiffon taffeta with pearl trimmings. She wore a veil caught up with lilies of the val- ley and carried a shower bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley. Her sister, Miss Rachael Mitchel' who was matron of honor, wore a gown of yellow brocaded crepe de chine with a lace cap to match. She car- ried yellow chrysanthemums. Augus- tus Reed, brother of the groom, was best man. After the ceremony there was a re- ception to the couple. There was an attractive array of gifts displayed, in- cluding silver, cut glass and bric-a- brac. The groom’s gift to the bride was a Parisian ivory toilet set. He presented his best man with a scarf pin set with pearls. The groom re- celved a Waldenar watch chain from his bride and the maid of honor was presented with a little finger ring. Mr. and Mrs. Reed will spend their honeymoon in New York and on their return will reside on West street, Bristol, where they will be at home to their friends after December 1. Mr. Reed is a former resident of Plainville. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar N. Reed and is well and favorably known here. Coates Let Off With Fine. Pleading guilty of charges of in- toxication and breach of the peace, Stanley Coates was arraigned before Justice E. P. Prior last evening and was fined $14 and costs on recom- mendation of Grand Juror M. A. Nor- ton, who appeared for the state. The voung man's appearance in court a sequel to an encounter he had with Constable Downing Monday night. The officer attempted to stop Coates from annoying a junk dealer and as a reward for his efforts was abused himself. He found it neces- sary to arrest his tormentor, getting him to the lock-up after a hard tussle. In leu of Coates' decision to plead guilty the charge of resistance was not preferred against him. The as- sessment totalled $22. The accused made a partial settlement and was given a month in which to pay the balance. Horse On Retired Tist. Rather than take the risk of hav- ing his horse meet with the fate ac- corded Black Beauty of story fame, Dr. C. W. Moody has refused to sell his thoroughbred, Mary Chime, al- though he has no further use for her, and the animal will spend the rest of its days on the farm of Joseph A. Fagan of Scott's Swamp, where it will be permitted to romp around the pastures at will. Dr. Moody has given the horse to Mr. Fagan with the understanding that he is to take good care of her until she has out- lived her usefullness, killing her when she gets.too old for service. Dr. Moody recently purchased an automobile and he is now using the machine in making calls on his pa- tients. For ten years the faithful horse helped the practitioner cover this territory, and now that it is mno longer of use to him, her services are not to be forgotten. The animal is seventeen vears old and is still a good roadster. Dr. Moody has re- fused offers of $100 to sell her. He was unwilling to take a chance on having her treated unkindly in her old age and he refused to take money for her, preferring to give her to someone at whose hands she is sure of .- humane treatment. Mary Chime is a real thoroughbred and is a member of a family of equines making many turf records. The animal was bought in New York fifteen yvears ago by the late John Prior and was subsequently =old to Dr. Moody. Tt is a spirited steed and it always attracted attention on the streets by its splendid appearance Two Don’'t Qualify. That Stephen Leonard and John Pease, elected constables at the an- nual town meeting last month, do not | intend to serve as minions of the law | during the vear, is evidenced from the fact that they have failed to take the oath and file a bond with the se- lectmen. The officers had unti] yes- terday to qualify. The other constables, Philip Marino, Henry David, Cornelius Downing, Al- i bert Sturgeon and Albert Anderson, | have taken the oath and have signified their intention of serving. While he believes it is unnecessary have a regular town patrolman, | First Selectman Johnson considers it | unfortunate that among the constables there is not one working near the cen- Mabie | | to | | | AVOID ALL MEAT IF KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER Uric Acid in Meat Excites and Irritates the Bladde! Kidneys salts at First Sign of Bladder | Weakness or Kidney- Backache. | Take | | Kidney and Bladder weakness result | from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes| sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can’t control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoving #nd somectimes very painful, this Is really one of the mos imple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad -Salts from your pharmacist and ! take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfact, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so it no | longer is a source of irritation tq the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Solts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, ! and is used by thousands of folks who ere subject to urinary disorders caused Ly uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent lithia-water drink which quickly rclieves bladder trouble. B ——SE ) conditions it is sometimes difficult to get an officer quickiy during the day- | time. Until this year the town had at | least one police officer near the busi- ness section. Since the removal of W. C. Hart as deputy sheriff and the ousting of Philip Marino as the police force conditions have been changed and the town hardly has the proper police protection from sunrise to sun- set. The appointment of a deputy sheriff ! appears to he the best solution of the problem and the town officials will probably ask Sheriff Dewey to name &r assisstant for Plainville. Firemen's Fair. Plans have been completed for the firemen's fair to be given in the Town bhall Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights under the auspices of the Hose ceompany and the committee of ar- rangements reports that the outlook | for a social and financial success is| most favorable | The firemen are anxious to get some new furnishings for their parlor and as thelr treasury is sadly depleted they are looking to the fair to pro- vide the necessary funds. The Peerless club of New Britain will furnish the entertainment on the opening night. Their program will consist largely of vocal selections. The advance sale of tickets has been most encouraging and the firemen are well satisfieq with the prospects. Former Residents Entertain. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Graham, ‘for- merly of this place, entertained at their home in Bantam Saturday night at a farewell reception given in honor cf Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Davis, who went to New Haven Monday. Mr. Davis was formerly pastor of the Cen- tral Baptist church in Bantam, and his parishoners gathered Saturday night to bid him farewell. They pre- =ented him with a purse of $25 as a testimonial of their good will. During the evening vocal and in- strumental selections were rendered. Mrs. Graham proved a charming hostess. Shower for Bride-elect. Members of Martha Rebekah lodge and other friends to the number of | about thirty-five tendered a miscel- laneous shower last evening at the | home of Miss Arta Gilbert of Moun- | tain View to Miss Barbara Morse, | who is soon to become the bride of | Augustus E. Rich. Miss Morse had been given no in- timation of the plans of her friends and she was genuinely surprised when she met them. The Gilbert home was prettily decorated for the | occasion in Hallowe'en fashion. Miss Morse received many useful and beau- tiful gifts. Plerson Wants License. Martin E. Pierson of Bristol, who represents this district in the state senate, made a plea to Charles D. Burnes, secretary of state, yesterday to have his license as an automobile | operator tored to him, Pierson’s permit was taken away after the sen- ator's auto ran down and killed a | child in New Haven a few months ago. He was fined on a manslaughter | charge as the result of the accident. At” the time he struck the child, the senator told Secretary Burnes he was not going faster than twenty-two miles an hour. He explained that it ry for him to use an auto in business and that it is not always | ible for him to get a chauffeur. Secretary Burnes reserved his de- cision, C n E t t: s c t Grange Confers Degrees. Plainville Grange conferred the first and second degrees on a small class last evening.
