He was lost several times and the last step was reached at Durkee’s corner, when the en- gine gave one last sputter and died. The members did not know where they were, but the faint music of their sister corps could be heard and as a 1esult they were forced to walk from ‘the corner to Kensington. Being un- familiar with this section of the state, they did not know the New Britain trolley would pass through Kensing- ton. They arrived late and gave one of the best drills and musical pro- grams ever rendered in this town.

Mr. Kiniry has sung here on several occasions. and has always made a “hit” with the local people. He will be assisted by some of ‘the best known minstrel performers in the Hardware City and the fair commit- tee feels those who attend will have the pleasure of hearing one of the best amateur troupes ever gathered. The booths continue to do a large business and the canvassers are ex- ceeding all previous records. Dancing has been well patronized the first two nights and there is every expectation that the floor will be crowded for the remainder of the bazar. Lovers of the old fashioned dances have op- portunlties fo indulge in them to their heart’s delight for there is a goodly number interspersed in the program.

M. ‘Wilbur Hart, Old Resident of Flanders District, Dead— Pythians to Have Installation—Board of Relief to Meet Tomorrow—Other Matters, That the receipts for the fiscal year ending March 31st at the local postof- fice will total most $12,000 is indi- cated by the report of Postmaster P. J. Prior concerning the business of the past nine months. During that period the office showed a gain of $1,400 over a corresponding time in 1915 and with a continuance of prosperous times there no reason to believe that the gain for the next three months will not be proportionately large. L year the receipts were but little ahead of the $10,000 mark, the general busi- ness depression having reduced the demand for stamps for outgoing mail. The falling off will he more than made up this year and the postmast- er expects that his report for the f cal year will shown a record-breaking business. The postal reccipts every- where serve as an excellent barome- ter of business conditions and the re- ports from the local office indicate en- coliraging prosperity in Plainville at the present time. Postmaster Prior’s salary was re- duced $100 last year because of de- crease in amount of business done at office. As his next report will show the receipts to be in ex: of $11,000, his pay will be put back at $2,300 for the year. Owing to changes in the time of the arrival of the night mail, the post- er has written to Washington re- questing permission to close the of- fice at 8 o’clock instead of 8:45. Un- til recently a mail was received at 8:20 and it was p ible to distribute it in time for late callers. It is nearly nine o’clock, under the existing conditions, before the pouches arrive and their contents cannot be sorted before the following morning. The postmaster consequently cannot sce the necessity of keeping the clerks on the job after e ————————————— REPORT MANY CASES OF RHEUMATISM NOW Says We Must Keep Feet Dry; Avoid Exposure and Eat Less Meat. Stay off the damp ground, avold ex- posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful Its occasionally to keep down uric acid Rhenumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gen- erated in the bowels and absorbed in- to the blood. it 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 impur- ity. In damp and chilly, cold weath- er 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 cir- culating through the system, eventual- ly settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffne 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 glass of water and drink be- fore breakf: each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impuritie Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and. lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent re- sults by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia- water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. of = “The Busy Little Store” Strictly Fresh CONNECTICUT EGGS 33co Right from the nest, not an egg in the lot a week old.

Hart, one of the oldest and best known residents of the Flan- ders district, died at his home yester- day morning at 7 o’clock after a few days illness due to an attack of grip and a general breaking down. A great sufferer for many years from rheur tism he had been gradually failing in health for some time but his death came as a surprise and shock to his many acquaintances. The sudden death of his daughter, Mrs. Louis R. which occurred last Aprii, evere shock to him and he had ling more r; 1y since then. The funeral will be held tomorrow | at 2 o'clock from his home. Rev. F. L. Requa of Southington, will officiate Interment will tery. Mr. Hart was one of the few re- maining old settlers of the Flanders district, coming down through a lor line of generations. He was a direct descendant of Stephen Hart, who came here from England in 1632. 1839, and had lived but a short di tance from his birthplace during h entire career. He kept a diary over sixty years and he almost daily referred to some event during that period. He was a great reader and took a keen interest in all the news | of the day. For many years he was associated with his brother John in the milk bus- | iness. During the past twenty yea he had been able to do but little hard work. 5 He leaves two sons, Arthur, of Som- | ers, Conn., and Roswell G., of Plain- ville, and a daughter, Miss May B. Hart, also of this place, to mourn hi loss. He is also survived by a brother, John, of Flanders, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Quill of New Britain His wife died nine years ago January 29. Relief Board Sessions. Owners of building lots are expect- ed to be prominent among those who | to | appear before the board of relief ask for deductions from the property valuations as determined by the as- sessors. The latter board in an effort to equalize value of thes a number of increases, most of which were slight, and many of the own- ers appear to be dissatisfied. Property in Plainville seemingly has advanced in value, since the Rockwell-Drake company decided to erect factories here and, while the owners of land are quoting good prices when ap- proached by prospective purchasers, they do not appear to see any justifi- cation for an increase in the amount they are to pay in taxes. The relief board, however, is not expected to do much for them. The board, which consists this year of A. H. Condell, I. P. Newell and James Simpson, all republicans, the last session of the general assembly having made it possible to prevent a minority representation on the com- mittee, will hold its first session to- morrow afternoon at 1:30. The board ;'lill meet again on February 5, 12 and Work on Sunday. Laborers employed in mixing and pouring cement for the foundation for the Rockwell-Drake factory were on the job Sunday, the men in having arranged to push th of the work forwarded sible. Good progre is being made at the plant and there is reason to believe that the building will be ready to receive machinery by the middle of March, although it will probably be a month later before it will be entirely completed. Barher to Wed. Frank Real, employed in A. J. Bor- deau's tonsorial establishment, and Dugo of Church street, N will be united in marriage at St. Mary’s church in that city on February 28. The young couple will probably make their home in Plainville. Parts of Tower Clock Here. Parts of the tower clock which is to be installed in the Congregational church as a memorial to Charles F. Norton's deceased wife and mother, have been shipped here by the New Haven Clock company and the work of putting it in position will be started in the near future. The clock is a gift to the church from Mr. Norton. It is to have two faces, one showing on the east side and the other on the west. The clock will be connected with the church bell which vill sounded hourly. War Veteran Dead. Stricken with heart failur J.
