TIRED WORKING MEN A Local Druggist Suggests a Remedy Foi Overworked Run- down Men. The following letter from Manager Ilodes recounts the experience and ! condition of many New Britain men. | Read this letter and oui offer which follows: Brooklyn, N. Y., “I office manager, and became so ner- { vous and run-down in health that T i lost my appetite and finally my health broke down completely, largely be- ¢ overwork. I tried Beef Iron nd Wine, and other remedies with- { out help. I saw Vinol advertised and am a <eneral { provement, T ¥ ‘l)(‘“te‘ sleep better, feel hette and have gained considerable in weight.” | samuel Hodes, 501 Stone Ave. The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it contains the three oldest and most famous ton- ics vi: -the medicinal elements of fresh cod livers without oil, peptonate of iron and beef peptone. We ask every run-down over worked man in New Britain to try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that their money will be returned if it fails to help them as it did Mr. Hodes.

The principal discus- | sion of the evening was the worl | and activities of the Sunday school, | which is said to be the largest in | . New England. Rev. Howard S. Fox, | principal, presented his report and it showed the school had gained fifty- | five in the enrollment during the past year and the benevolences in- creased materially. Despite the fact that the expenses of the school are paid wholly out of the church funds, the school contributed $550 for ben- | | evolences. The training school for teachers also had a very successful vear. At the graduation last June eleven members were granted diplo- mas. Miss Mary B. Rogers is in charge of the school. Rev. Mr. Fox has had charge of the Boys' division, but on account of his increasing duties, it is found neces- | sary to relieve him of the work, the meeting ratified the appointment of Louis Bruemmer, who will be in charge in the future. At the elec- | tions for members of the executive | committee, C. F. Scott and Miss Sarah P. Rogers were re-elected and Miss Inez Henry and Mrs. W. B. Mon- tague were chosen new members. The question as to the disposition of the offerings was discussed at length, but it was flnally decided to hold the matter up until February 10 when the matter will be definitely de- cided. Following is the report in full of Rev. Howard S. Fox, director of re- ligious education at the South church: In presenting this annual report of the work of the Sunday school, your director of religious education desires first of all to pay high tribute to the officers and teachers of the school. No other organization of the church re- quires so many volunteer workers as does this. Many of these workers have been faithful to the point of sacrifice; some of them, according to their po- sitions in the school, have given not only their services, but thelr valued advice and counsel in the direction of the affairs of the school. There has been no lack of harmony among the executive and teaching force, and there has in several departments been a very real efficiency. The school has had on the whole a prosperous year and prospects for the future are bright. The summary of enrollment shows a net gain of fifty- five over last year. No statistics in regard to average attendance for the lable for purposes of son, but if such were to be they would probably also be fa- able. The total of collecttons slightly greater than last year, nd the total given for benevolent purposes is con- siderably greater. It may be well to state that since the main expenses of the school are met either by the Ec- clesiastical society or from invested church funds, it is only certain ineci- dental expenses that have to be paid out of the offerings of the pupils. Each and usually a different object. In our treasurer’s report, the expenses of sending three delegates to the North- field summer school of Sunday school methods, which might have been made a separate item, has been in- cluded under the heading of “Ex- penses.” This statement is made to explain the rather large figure in the treasurer's report in the item of ex- penses. The number and the percentage of our teachers who have in one way or another received special training for their work is increasing. On the 3rad of June, the Teachers' Training class was graduated, having studied for two vears under Miss Mary Rogers. These voung ladies, eleven in number, were all given places on the teaching staff in the fall, and a new class was gath-~ cred, which will graduate in 1917. The City Training school for religious teachers, providing instruction in the Bible and in Sunday school methods for those now engaged in teaching, finished the season of 1914-1915 with a series of meetings in the spring, held in the Methodist church. For the cur- rent year the school has been put un~ der the authority of the district unit of the State Sunday School Associa- tion; the course of study has been con- siderably imprved, a‘three-year course of study offered and entered upon, and a fee of one dollar for the year charged to meet expenses. The school enjoys this year a greatly increased cnroliment of the Sunday school teachers of the city. Several of our teachers are attending its sessions. The Northfield summer school pre« viously spoken of, also provides valu- able training for the three teachers which the school sends there each vear. The social events of the year have been numerous. In the spring an en- tertainment was conducted jointly by the Senfor department and the Bo Division. The picnic at Laurel park on June 26th was a great success in point of attendance and enjoyment; and this year, if a similar plan for a picnic is followed, it will be possible | v profiting by the experience of last vear, to make it a financial succ well. A Field day for the summer ses sion of the Sunday school was held in August. Tn the fall the Philathea class had a sociable and the Woodruff club held a banquet. Quite recently the Honor club of the boys' division ana Miss Elizabeth Rogers' class of the Senior department held a joint soci- able. The Christmas entertainments, one for the Primary and one for the Junior department, were held as usual. A new event was added to the Christmas program, being an enter- tainment for the two upper depart- is ments, boys” and girls,” of the school. It is hoped: that this event may be . rele i RO : L5 - e AN + -3 RAIN Nature loads on Good Taste, too Bless their hearts! Lotta Sun and Enuff Rain certainly helped good old Mother Nature pile on the good taste when they helped grow the tobacco for Perfections. There are no fancy frills about Perfections. But if youre looking for a real satisfym’g smoke—real tobacco that IS tobacco—jyou’ll find it in Perfections. The tobacco in Perfections contains all the original good taste that Nature put into it. And that’s what every smoker likes best. You can’t get better tasting tobacco any- where, at any price, than the choice, golden Virginia in Perfections. Prove it for yourself. Try them today be- cause they’re JUST NATURALLY GOOD CIGARETTES made a regular part of the Christmas plans of the school. Special mention should be made of the new adult class, formed in the fall. It is under the leadership of Mr. Chas. E. Steele, and is open 1o both men and women. For the cui- rent year the course of estudy pur- sued is “The Origin and Teaching of the New Testament Books.” The other adult classes, for young wom- en under Miss Elizabeth Fastman, for men under Col. W. W. Bullen, are proceeding as usual in their studles. The Home Department superinten- dent reports on the whole, a pros- perous year. There is a net loss however, of two, in the enrollment of the department. Thus it will be seen that our Sunday school offers | adults facilities for Bible study either in the regular session or at their homes. It is greatly to be hoped that many of our church people, not now maintaining habits of regular Bible study, will form such a habit by joining one or other of these depart- ments of the school. A very welcome addition fo the equipment of the school, which came during the year, consisted in seven new tables for the Primary Depart- | ment. This department had been getting along with only two-thirds | of the tables it needed. Now, part- ly by vote of the socie committee, but mainly through private generc- sity, the equipment of the school in | this respect has been completed. The Boys' division has greatly ben cfited during the past year by a change in its administration. Mr. Louis W. Bruemmer has accepted the post of superintendent, and has entered upon the work with great ability. His name comes before you tonight for formal election to the position. The methods in use in the Boys' divis are pedagogically correct and prac- BANISH RHEUMATIC PAIN FOREVER Opiates and Narcotics Give only Tem- porary Relict—Rheuma, Mighty, rowerful and Quick Decisive Conqu I People who have been tormented for 2 ars—yes, even so crippled that | they were unable to help themselves | —have been brought back to robust | health through the,mighty power of | Rheuma. ! Rheuma acts with speed; it hrlnx;ui a few days the relief you have red for. It antagonizes the poi- | sons that cause agony and pain in | the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness disappears. It is a harmless remedy, but surc and certain, because it is one disco i ery that has forced rheumatism and | | sciatica to yield and disappear. Rheuma is rigidly guaranteed. Try two b0-cent bottles and if you do not get the joyful relief you expect, your money will be returned.

In conclusion, I wish to express to the church persona my high grati- fication in working in so large and | withal so promising a field. I wish o thank the church for the confidence shown in placing me officially charge of such a work. I hope that the school may continue abatement for many years to come its extenstve work among the chil- | dren of this city, and that it may be made, by the efforts of its officers and teachers, an ever more effective ‘agen- cy for the teaching of the word of God.
