Christmas Tree—Icemen Star Annual Harvest; Forestville Man Relieved of $81— state Lecturer to Install. Kindergarten to Have Having placed the ban on the ex- changing of gifts between pupils and teachers, the school board through Principal O. L. Judd, is arranging special Christmas exercises as a sub- stitute for the time honored custom in the local schools and Thursday af- ternoon when the fall term is brought to a close, interesting pro- grams will be given in all the grades. A special feature will be the introduc- tion of Christmas carols sung by the children. The pupils have ben rehears- ing the songs for the past month and the musical features of the exercises are expected to the most entertaining. In the kindergarten there will be a Christmas tree tomorrow morning and the children will hang gifts they have made for their parents. The school board has adopted a policy now in vogue in most places of abandoning the plan of exchanging gifts in the schools and this feature will be elim- inated from the closing exercises this year. Throughout the school the teach- ers are trying to inculcate in the minds of their pupils the idea of giv- ing presents that require but time and thought rather than the expenditure of money. - Principal Judd says the plan is to encourage them to give re- membrances ‘“‘which only the spirit of kindness and love teaches them to glve, such as a desire for better les- sons and conduct, helping at home and doing for others because of the spirit of love which is the true Christ- mas spirit and that of the Christ- child.” The schools will close tomorrow and while a number of the teachers will leave in the afternoon for their re- spective homes where they plan to spend the Christmas recess most of them will remain here until Friday. The winter term will begin on Mon- day, January 3. Start Tce Harvest. Although the ice of the ponds in this locality is hardly of sufficient thickness to warrant harvesting for storage, the dealers have found it necessary to start cutting, last win- ter’'s harvest being practically gone. All the repositories are now about empty and the icemen are cutting from their ponds to supply the trade. Leland Hart harvested a small crop yesterday from his pond. The ice is about eight inches thick and is sur- prisingly clear, considering the weather conditions under which it was formed. Mr. Hart plans to begin cutting for storage soon. His reposi- tories have a capacity of 2,000 tons and he proposes to take advantage of the first opportunity afforded for cut- ting, the lessons learned by experience during the past few years, making it clear that delays in ice harvesting sometimes prove expensive. The White Oak Ice company, which supplies ice to the New Britain Ice corporation, has made no effort to start cutting but will probably begin the harvest next week, weather condi- tions permitting. The company has storehouses near the pond with a ca- pacity of 6,000 tons. The buildings are now practically empty, a heavy demand for ice in various places in the state during the summer having de- pleted the stock earlier than usual. Farmers at Scott’s Swamp hope to start cutting their summer supvoly from Selectman Johnson’s pond in a few days. Olaimed Pocket Was Picked.

BEGIN ON SALTS AT FIRST SIGN OF KIDNEY PAIN We eat too much meat which clogs Kidneys, then the back hurts. Says glass of Salts flushes Kidneys and ends Bladder irritation. Uric acid in meat excites the kid- neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seck relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body’s urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kid- ney region, you suffer from back- ache, sick headache, dizz ness, stom- ach gets sour, tongue coated and you fel rheumatiz twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- mous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activ- ity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weak- ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in- jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming trouble while is only it kidney trouble. Forestville of a pocketbook contain- ing $81. According to Johnson the roll was extracted from his clothes last evening while he was on a Bristol bound trolley car. He told the police that he was re- turning from work at the time. The car was crowded and he had to stand in the rear vestibule. He got off to let some women board the car two slick looking strangers jostling him as he stepped to the ground. He thought the incident was but an acci- dent and had forgotten it until he missed his pocketbook some time later. He then remembered that the men left the car after they had pushed him and he suspects that they had his money when they made their departure, Cover Tract in Three Years. While A. F. Rockwell continues to keep from the public his plans for the development of the ten acre tract of land which he bought here a few weeks ago, contenting himself with the declaration that he will some time use it as a site for a factory, an intimate friend and business associate who is thought to be interested in the Bristol manufacturer’s proposed ven- ture, is authority for the statement that in three years time the entire property will be ‘‘covered.” He vouchsafed no details of the plans that have been formulated but intimated that manufacturing on an extensive scale will be conducted in buildings erected on the land before 2 great while. In his talk with friends he gave the opinion that prob- ably before spring, and no later sure- ly, work on the factory buildings will be started. State Lecturer to Install. State Lecturer Blakeman of Oronoque has accepted an invitation to install the officers of the Grange elected at the annual meeting. The new heads of the organization will take the obligations on January 3. At last night's meeting arrange- ments for the installation were made. The members enjoyed a social session after the business mecting. Make Final Rounds. The board of assessors made their final trip of inspection yesterday and they are now preparing to make an abstract from the grand list for 1915, The members have personally visited all streets where improvements have been made on properties during the year. The board does not expect that the tctal this year will show any ma- terial change from that of 1914, It is the intention to have the work sufficiently advanced by Janu- ary 10th to permit of a report to the adjourned town meeting on that date of the assessed valuation of Plain- ville properties. This will enable the voters to discuss intelligently the lay- ing of a tax rate, the town officlals having arranged to present a budget showing the estimated expenses for the fiscal vear at that session. To Play Ice Hockey. Since the opening of the skating season, there have been a number of exciting games of ice hockey on ponds in this section. Several teams have been organized and the members are looking forward to some enjoyable sport while the ice lasts. A zame has been arranged for Christmas morning at 9 o’clock be- tween the Federals and the Trum- bulls. It will be played on the Plain- ville pond. With the “Feds” will be Hultenus, Buys, Oakes, Nelson and Hart while Conlin, Derby, Granges, Ewald and Smith will represent the Trumbull aggregation.
