Both are active members and liberal supporters of the Berlin Congregational church Epidemic of Grip. Of late there seems he an epi- demic of grip around town, and many are complaining of colds and sore throats. This winter has been most unusual with its sudden changes in temperature and this is the cause of the number of colds. Today while very nice overhead was bad under foot and belonged to the latter part of March or early April, rather than the sixth of January. Ice Crop Ruined. | Al the ice which has heen | ponds for the past few, days is gone Yesterday with its warm sun and rain undid the work of the pre- | ceding cold days and, as a result, the ice cutters of the town are mourn- ing the loss of what seemed to be the starting of a good crop.

Clark 111 With PnC€umonia— Many Others On Sick List—Dates for Entertainments Announced— Spinners Refuse to Work Overtime. Preparatory to starring the erection of a three story concrete structyre, which is to be used as a storehouse and a supplying station for this section, the C. W. Cahili company of Meriden, yesterday put a force of men to work razing the old factory building which for a number of years housed the foundry operated by Lucas Carter, now of California. The build- ing had been occupied for the past two years by N. C. strom of Brl tol, who used it as a plant for the manufacturing of paper lunch boxes. He has moved his machinery and other equipment into one of the buildings on the Mason property, where he will make his quarters, temporarily at least. That the Cahill people propose to carry out the plans announced a few weeks ago when they purchased the property frem Edward T. Carter it evidenced from their promptness in starting on the destruction of the buildings now located on the land. The plans for the proposed bullding have already been prepared, it 1s id, and oon as the land is cleared excavation for the foundation for the concrete structure will be started. The house will serve as a distribut- ing station and auto trucks, which will be used in transporting goods to New Britain, Bristol, Southington and Unionville, will be stationed here. The company now has to pay storage for goods sold in these places and after the Plainville sta- tion erected all the business for this section will be done from here. Men will be sent from the Meriden office to take charge of the local business. Plainville merchants appear to be well pleased over the company’s move as the location of a wholesale grocery house here will make it more con- venient for them to get goods. At present when there is an unexpected shortage in any part of their stock they have to wait for two or thres days to replenish it, borrowing goods from other storckeepers to tide them over. The Cahill house will be con- venient to them and will cause much of their worries to disappear. Expect Clock Here Soon. Tocal friends of Charles H. Norton Worcester, Mz have been ad- ed that the memorial clock which to ir all in the tower of the ational church will be shipped in a short time. The clock, is of special design, has been ordered from the New Haven Clock company, which has promised to get it here before the middle of January. The memorial is a tribute to Mr. Norton’s mother, Mrs. J. C. Norton, and his wife, who was a daughter of the late B. F. Tomlinson, Plainviile’s postmaster for many years. It will have two faces and will be so located that it can be seen for a considerable distance from both east and west. Tho clock will ring automatically every hour. With the Sick. King Grip and his allies continue to maintain the advance made in Plain- APPLY SAGE TEA IF HAIR IS GRAY Grandma Used Sage Tea and Sulphur to Darken Her Hair and Nobedy Knew. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat- ural color dates back to grandmoth- er's time. She used it to keep her hear beautifully dark, glo and abundant. Whenever her hair feh out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix- ture was applied with wonderful ef- fect. But brewing at home is mussy and | out-of-date. Nowad by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of ‘Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan- druff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking onc strand at time. By morning the gray hair ppears, and after an- other appli two it becomes beautifully soft and abundant, a lis: ation or dark, 'NO REASON FOR IT When New Britain Citizens Show a Way. There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tor- tures of an aching back, the annoy- ance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a New Britain citizen say. Mrs. Alice Howe, New Britain, sa used Doan's Kidney Pills for various symptoms of kidney trouble and I do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone having kidney complaint. ‘5 suffered intensely from my kidneys and sometimes I was hardly able to work.

The Women's club has announced the dates for the four entertainments which are to be given in the Town hall under its auspices for the benefit of the library funds. The first of the course is scheduled for tonight when the Marigold quartet will give a con- cert. Tonight's program gives prom- ise of being of exceptional merit and interest taken in the entertainment itself, in addition to the cause for which it is to be given, leads to the belief that the attendance will be large. The second part of the course is to be presented on January 20, Halwood Robert Manlove, a famous character impersonator, known on the stage as “the man of many faces,” making his appearance on that date. He is recog- nized as one of the country’s greatest mimics, and the program he presents is said to be very entertaining. ‘Walter Eccles, whose repertoire in- cludes impersonations, comic songs, monologues, dramatic recitals and burlesque magic, is scheduled to fur- nish the program on February 1st. He is to be assisted by a pianist. The last feature is a novelty that should find favor. It is the appear- ance of the Savanoffs, noted Russian musicians, now making a tour of the United States. They will be here on March 8th. Seek Shelter Here. Scarcity of tenements and houses in which boarders are accommodated | j in Bristol has led that place to send to Plainville a number of the men, em- ployed in the factories in the neigh- boring city, who are seeking shelter. Business in Bristol is booming as it never was before in the history of the infant city and workmen brought from other towns are finding it dif- ficult to secure places to board. The boarding houses are taxed to their ca- pacity and many of the men are liv- ing in nearby towns, commuting daily. There is plenty of work in Plain- ville also, and seemingly the town is having all it can do to look after the people who make their homes here or are employed in the local factor- ies. Accommodations are furnished, however, to some Buistol employes. Refuse to Work Overtime. Owing to th¥ refusal of the spin- ners to work overtime the officers of the Bristol manufacturing company have found it necessary to cease oper- ations at their local plant at six o’clock at night and the plant is now closed at that hour.
