Mr. Lawrence was badly shaken up and severely bruised about the body but no bones were broken. He was removed to his home where he has been confined to his bed ever dince.

Wickwire, home with a severe cold. will be held at the home of Mrs, A.

There was no little comment on the ! weather about the town this morn- ing as compared with that of a year ago. Last night one of the hardes storms of the season was experienced while a year ago the fi was here and the ground was cov- ered to the depth of ten inches. Today n he is con- fined to he The meetir Some there was the feeling in the air that winter had settled down in real ear- nest. The severe wind did a small amount of damage about the town last night when several trees were blown over and a large window in the Kensington barber shop was blown in People have been wishing for rain and their wish was certainly granted, for this morning several of the brooks were overflowing their banks A few more good rains and cisterns and wells will be well filled for the win- ter months, which will relieve worry over the water supply. Minstrels Make Hit. St Paul's Lady Minstrels took a trip to Meriden last evening where they put on the entertainment for the For- esters at the Town hall. The party made the trip in two big auto trucks which were filled to overflowing despite the stormy weather. A large audience greeted the minstrels at the hall, and before the program had been Tun through success was assured | for the ladies. th the chorus | numbers and the solos were well re- ceived and the ladies may be sure that they will be called upon to furnish other entertainments for the various societies about this section of the state. Grist Mill Busy People are evidentl the olden ways of livin: activity of the East Berlin grist mill counts for anything.

There is more and more demand for old-fashioned rve flour each year, and about the only places left where such an article may be obtained are the grist mills. Buckwheat is another of the staple articles that is constantly ing in demand but this later tities and there has been an increase in its value by -about three times during the past several years. Berlin Briefs Miss Ruth Clark of Fast Berlin has returned from a trip to Bridgeport. H. A. Burnett is substituting at the Berlin depot as ticket agent and telegraph operator.

Plans are now being made for the distribution of about $10,000, which is the total amount of the Christmas club savings deposits, About 400 people will benefit by the distribution and fill receive checks representing their accounts on December 16. The books show that the school sav- ings department has nearly 500 de- positors and is growing steadily. Treasurer MacLeod’s report shows a. surplus and undivided profits account representing about $16,000 and it is expected that the amount will be ap- | preclably increased before the end of the year. Plainville people have taken a great interest in the development of the bank since its institution and they have watched its srowth with pardon- able pride from its infancy. The efforts of President Trumbull and his associates on the board of directors augurs well for their sound judgment and conservatism and indicates a splendid future for the bank. The growth in the checking depart- ments of banks serves as a barometer for town conditions and in the in- stance locally it indicates that Plain- ville is enjoving its full share of na- tlonal prosperity and is making good progress. Turkey Dinner 19c. While the price of turkey is ex- pected to be unprecedentedly high for the holidays, employes of the New Haven road at the transfer station may snap thelr fingers at the butchers and marketmen, the officlals of the system having made arrangements to supply them with the national bird and all the fixin's on Thanksgiving 'Day, charging them but 19¢ for the meal. The supply department of the rail- road has ordered nearly $100 worth of turkeys for the Thanksgiving din- ner at the local station, and the workers (whites and blacks alike) are assured of a most bountiful repast when they gather around the festive board. Many of the men employed at the vards are elther homeless or are sep- arated from their relatives, The rail- road has arranged to have a family re- union in their shelter cars and about | seventy-five men will enjoy the spread which they will serve in Plainville. The transfer staton workers are pald $12 a week for their wages, the company deducting $4 from _ this amount for their board. They charge each man at the rate of 19c a meal. There will be no advance in the price and the men will when the ners served on the holiday. Selectmen Consent. Permission to dig up the highway on West Main street and Central | Square has been given to the Southern | New England Telephone company by board of selectmen. The company claims that its business has grown fo such an extent that the cable required for the wires it uses is too heavy to be carried on poles. They want it in an underground subway and they asked the selectmen to be allowed to lay the pipe in the street from the ex- change to a point near the corner of | Whiting and t Main streets. While the hoard is not anxious to | have the macadam or the pavement disturbed the members, feel that the | company’s request is justified and | would have the sanction of the pub- | llc utilities commission should it be necessary to go to that body- { For that reason they granted the petition, the company having agreed with the highway commission, to put | the streets in as good shape as they found them after the work is finished. | | | | l Lloyd Edwards Il Lloyd Edwards of Chester, driver of one o® the Powell trucks, used lnI shades , from 50c to $1.50.

Mr. Edwards con- dition is causing his friends some concern. Attending physiclans have advised his removal to a hospital and his parents are expected here before night to decide on what course will be ¥ollowed. It is saild that indications of ty- phoid fever have become manifest and the young man’s friends have become alarmed over his case. Oray Spent Nothing. James Cray, Bristol's former mayor, has reported to the secretary of state that he had no expenses in connec- tion with his unsuccessful run as the democratic candidate for senator from the fifth district at the recent elec- tion. ‘While he was defeated, Mr. Cray made a splendid showing in all towns in the district and reduced the repub- lican plurality considerably. Criticise Police Plan. The plan evolved by the selectmen for having the streets policed at night | by an officer, who is to have the work | of taking care of the town building added to his duties, is not meeting with a great deal of favor, many of the citizens believing 1t to be wealk. Scemingly the Impression prevalls | that the officer selected should give up his entire time to police work. Janitorship would necessitate his pre: ence at the town building at a time ' when he might be most needed on | the streets, and it is figured that the | additlonal work raddled on him would impair his efficiency in his efforts to keep order at the center. 52-inch Fine All Wool Poplin, honestly made, excellent dye, Mill's price today would be $2.00 yard, for Saturday only ... WORRY IS A DISEASE The digorder which causes its victims to worry whether they have an&thxpg to_worry about or not is neurasthenia. Neurasthenia is entirely distinct from hysteria although the patient may have both diseases at the same time. " Neurasthenia often results fromsome nervous shock, such as the loss of a near relative, business reverses, Or SOme gevere overstrain on the nervous sys- tem. The patient isusually pale, show- ing that the blood is thin, and the firsi thing to do is to build up the blood be- cause anything that builds up the gen- eral health helps to correct the ncu- rasthenic condition. Rest and a good tonic is the very best treatment in most cages. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are an ideal tonic for this condition,because they are non-alcholic and neurasthenic pati- ents should avoid alcoholic stimulants. TheDr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., has published ‘a little book on nervous disorders that contains a chapter on neurasthenia, in - which the symptoms are fully described and the correct treatment given. The booklet is free on request.
