RANPAST THE -WARNING SIGNAL The other day I'told you of an en- gineer who tied down the governor. Today I am going to tell you about an engineer who ran past the signal. It was sét against him, It warned him. But he took chances, ran past it. To- day he is a physical and mental wreck. And incidentally a hundred people lost their lives. All along the roadbed of life Nature has set us her signals. The wise man who heeds them lives to a green old age. The foolish man who does not heed them sooner or later runs into djsaster. Weakness — listl lessness — lac of vigor, diz pitation of the heart—specks floating before the eyes—are a few of the many warning signals Nature has set against you. -« You neglect them at your peril— and saddest of all at the peril of your loved ones and those dependent upon you for a livelihood. If you are suffering from any of such symptoms, consult me about them. Let me tell you just what fhese symptoms mean—what they are leading to and what you must do to get well again. DR. CLINTON J.

Reading of re- of the morning session after which the dele in the banquet hall, with Worthy Temple of this city as the hostesses. The report of the mistress of rec- ords and correspondence, Mrs. Lil- lian W. Turner. showed that at pres- ent there were twenty temples in the state with a membership of 884 ters and 578 knights. The mistress of finance, Miss Clara A. Kelsey, re- ported a balance of $1,311 on hand at the opening of the convention. The committee on state of order through the chairman, Mrs. Elizabeth Epstein of Thompsonville, reported rrogress. M Abbie Palmerton of New Haven, chairman of the audit committee, presented her report, which was accepted. There being no matters to come before the commit- tee on appeals and grievances, the chairman, Mrs. Sara Beeched of Nau- gatuck, reported that there was no report to be presented. The law commission committee through the chairman, Mrs. Jessie Allen of Bea- con Falls, submitted a report. One of the most pleasing reports of the session was presented by Mr: Cora Snow of New Haven, chairman of the foreign correspondence, which showed considerable gain in the mem- bership in the grand domain. during the past year. Mrs. Mima Jeffrey of New London, supreme representative, read a report of the social and business activities in the grand temple during the past vear. At the close of luncheon the buie iness was resumed, with the Pythian memorial exercises, which was fol- lowed by the election of officers and the selection of the convention clty for 1917. The selection of Mrs. Leon- ora Lampson, one of the leading members of Worthy Temple, to suc- ceed Mrs. Atwell as grand chief was the forecast. Up to the time of bal- loting there had appeared no other candidate for the place and the se- lection of the local woman seemed certain. Mrs. Lampson has passed through the various chairs in the local organization and is well versed in the workings of Pythian Sister- hood. Mrs. Atwell, who has served in the capacity of grand chief during the past year, has given the order in the state an administration which de- serves favorahle recognition. A tire- less worker, always active in the bet- terment of the organization, Mrs. At- well has been one of the strongest factors in the success attained by the Pythian Sisters of Connecticut during the year closing.
