Griswold be- longs the distinction of being the first medical officer from Connecticut or- dered out of the state for active duty. ILieutenant Griswold, who is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Roger M. Griswold af Kensington, is a graduate of the Connecticut Agricultural college and ixperiment station. . While at col- lege, he became greatly interested in tactics and puveued a four vears’ military training course al- though only two years of training is required of the under-graduate. DR. MATTHEW H. GRISWOLD. After graduation from the Con- necticut Agricultural college, Licuten- ant Gr old spent a year at Valpa- raiso University, Ind., where he took a special course in chemistry and German. Dr. Griswold can converse very fluently at present in the Teu- tonic language. In 1909 Lieut. Griswold entered the medical department of the University of Vermont and graduated from there with the degree of M. D. in 1913. The next spring he began the prac- tice of medicine with his father in Kensington, and soon after was ap- pointed one of the assistant attend- ing physicians and surgeons at the New Britain General hcspital. While with his father, who does a large amount of railroad and shop surgery, Lieut. Griswold became very profi- clent in minor and plastic surgery. When this country entered the | great strife, Dr. Griswold was one of the first to offer himself to his coun- try. He was commissioned as first lieutenant and assistant surgeon in the Army Medical Reserve corps dur- ing the early part of March and was ordered to Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., on May 26, on less than twenty- four hours’ notice. On September 1, T.ieut. Griswold wasg' transferred to Fort Ethan Allen, ! Vermont, as drill master and instruct- or in the Hospital corps. In a recent letter to his father he writes: “Nearly all my men are new re- cruits .Few of them have had -any military training, and not half of them yet have their uniforms. Most of them are bright, interesting men and earnest about their work. The few stupid ones will soon be weeded out, and assigned to other places. *A good many Connecticut boys are TBhere are quite a number in A here. transportation reecived was $600. Tuition from Rocky Hill and Crom-‘ my company, some from Hartford, a large number from East Hartford and one or two from Kensington. “I have no idea how long I shall be here, but this work of training the new men is so interesting that I have no wish to go anywhere else unless it is ‘over across.” Registrars to Meet. % Notices have been posted informing prospective voters that the registrars will be in session on Tuesday, Septem- ber 13, to receiva the names of all persons who claim they are entitled to be made electors on or hefore Sep- tember 22. The registrars will be at the town hall in September 13 from 9 o'clock in the morning until 5 o’clock in the afternoon. The registrars are Joseph J. Morse and Harry A. Mec- Keon. License Petitions, The necessary number of voters have placed their names on the license petitions and the question will be voted on at the coming fall elections. Local saloon owners do not éxpect much trouble in securing a majority of “yes” vetes and are confident that this town will remain wet. The peti- tions have been placed with Town Cleerk Francis Shaw and contain the names of some of the town’s most prominent citizens. Berlin Briefs. Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw is en- tertaining his brother William H. Shaw of Cummington, Mass. Mr. Shaw is a ciVil war veteran. Miss Ethel Lund and Miss Ruth Lindquist are visiting with friends in New Haven. James Fagan returned to his home in Kensington yesterday after a two weeks’' vacation in Waterbury, James Corr of the Brooklyn Naval Reserves was a visitor at the Berlin fair yesterday. Much indignation was expressed by commuters to New Britain this morn- ing because the Connecticut company ran open cars. It is said that should the company persist in running open cars on chilly mornings that a peti- tion will be circulated to protest against their use. ' All local schools opened this morn- ing for the fall session.

Plainville News SIX DRAFTED MEN CANNOT BE FOUN Letters of Notiication at Post- office Still Uncalled For EXAMINATIONS ~ TOMORROW | Freight Engine Derails Ticing Up Pas- senger Service—Old Man Poiititi Again in Limelight—Richard Caf- ferty Placed on Probation. Tomorrow will be another day excitement in Plainville and one which will go down on history’s page. One' hundred and thirty-one young men: of the town will present them- selves at the town hall for physical examinationn. A number will be ac- | cepted immediately as members of the National Army. A few will be found physically fit but will claim ex- emption on various grounds and their proof will be certified later. Others will be rejected as alienss and for physical disabilities. The district of which Plainville is one of the towns has a quota of 400 men. 1,000 men were called on the first call. From this number of men it was found impossible to fill the prescribed allotment. A large num- ber had to be rejected on, account of dependents. The second’ call issued by the local board is for 2,000 men and from this number it is expected that little difficulty will be exper- ienced in getting the number of men needed. Only a few will have to be chosen to flll up the ranks of the first offering to the new National Army. Besides the Plainville men hundred others will be present from Southington and Berlin. The men living in these towns who received no- | tices will have to appear for exam- ination. This morning a card was re- | celved at the postoffice from the drafted men in Southington and was addressed to the town clerk. It read: ‘“Please have some heat in the Town hall at Plainville tomorrow.” Evi- dently the men from that place have | already begun to get cold feet and one | citizen this morning laughingly said | “I wonder what these young men wili ! do when they get in the trenches? Of the 131 notices which were sent | out recently by the local board ap- praising that number of young men in the vicinity that they must appear ! tomorrow, all hut six have been called ! for up to date. Tt is not known | whether these men have left the neighborhood, get their mail at other postoffices or are ordinary slackers. Authorities at the postofiice cannot identify them and know nothing of their whereabouts. The notices ad- dressed to the following are still un- called for: Patrick Ahern, Batista Crustiane, Vincent Dellavecchio, Mos- so Grammararira John Joseph O'Brien, Pietro Marlinelli. Because nearly double the number of men wijl have to be examined to- morrow the working force has been greatly augmented. It has been stated that almost twice as many physicians will be present while a large number of men have volunteered their ser- vices to Stanley Gwillim to serve in the capacity of clerks. It is expedted that the combined forces will be kept busy the greater part of the day. Freight Engine Derails. The tender of an extra freight en- gine was derailed at 8 o’'clock last evening while backing into the freight yard here. As a result.it caused a tie-up in the passenger service of the road both east and west for about an hour and a half. The engine was derailed on a *“cross- over” which leads into the yard, and the accident was of such a peculiar nature that it was impossible to move trains on either of the two main tracks. Section Foreman Miller was sum- moned and a force of men were | quickly set at work and repairs were | finished in a few hours. -Only two trains were held up by the delay. With Old Man Politics. With the announcement made yes terday by Edwin Hill, chairman of the Republican town committee, that the Republican town caucus will be held tomorrow evening in the town. Old Man Politics again appears in the | limelight. This time the aged gentle- man, cause of many a heated verbal battle, will not receive much of an ovation from the populace. The minc of the citizenry seems to run in dif- ferent channels and at present is oc- | cupied with the great conflict which is being waged overseas. However, a few of the town officers forgot the war long enough to state that they would accept honors if accorded them. Selectman Johnson told a correspon- dent in an interview that although 'he | was not over-anxious to succeed him- | self that he would accept the nomina- tion and carry out the duties of his office if he is re-elected. There seems to be no doubt but what he will be nominated at the coming caucus, and if he does there is a liklihood that he will again be chosen as the people's favorite for the highest office which the town can boast. William C. Hart is the probable man for the nomination on the demo- cratic side. Mr. Hart is well known in the town and vicinity and has a host of friends and followers. he will pull a strong vote if he opposes Johnson seems to be the con- census of opinion Owing to the death of Isaac P. Newell, who was for a number of vears the registrar of voters, some- one will have to be chosen for that office. At present Joseph McKernan is serving in capacity of temporary registrar of voters and spent day checking up the voting list. He stated that he would accept the nomi- | of several | millers, SEPTEMBER 11, 1917. APPLES, ORANGES, FIES AND PRUNES Are The Four Fruits Used i . N Making “Fruit-a-tives “FRUIT-A-TIVES’ is the only medicine in the world that is made from the juices of fresh ripe fruits. Thus, it is manifestly unfair to say, “I won’t take Fruit-a-tives because I have tried other remedies and they did me nogood’”. On the other hand, the fact that “‘Fruit-a-tives’ is entively different Jrom any other preparation in the world, is just why you should give it a fair trial, | in any trouble of the Stomich, Liver, Bowels, Kidneys or Skin. “Fruit-a- tives”, s composed of the actrve principle of fruit and the greatest nerve tonic ever | discovered. 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size, 25¢.

A candidate for every office in the town will be elected this year and it is the general belief that a large share of the officers will succeed themselves. Little interest is being manifested in the coming cauéus and it is expected that everything will pass quletly as in former years. Cafferty Placed on Probation. Richard Cafferty, who was arrested Sunday by Officer Marino, was ar- raigned in court yesterday before Judge Condell on three counts. He was fined $7 and\ costs and sentenced to 30 days in jail but these punish- ments were remitted~ and he was placed on a six months’ probation.

HOOVER TRIES T0 CUT BREAD COST Has Conference With Master Bakers at Washington Washington, Sept, 11.—Lacking au- thority under the FFood law to controi the profits of bakers, Herbert C. Hoover, food administrator, yesterday tried moral suasion in a conference with rvepresentatives of the master bakers of the country. /The minimum price of the wheat! crop of 1918 was fixed by the Food law at $2 a bushel, and the wheat committee recently fixed the price for the present crop at $2.20. The pro- visions of the Food law also enables the food administrator to control the but the millions of persons who Jack the facilities for baking their own hread and arc forced to depend upon the corner grocery for their dail loft the q J‘ I (il s = ( A Superb Furniture Display Here, certainly, will you find the best in furnl-' ture. Our Fall Displays surpass any we have ever made in quality and quantity. Won’t you call and see “The Store Beautiful ?” E FLINT-B AARTFORD law absolutely bakers. No statement was forthcoming as to the result of the conference, but it was intimated that the bakers real- ize that while the food administrator does not possess any specific power under the law to control their profits, he would without doubt be able to bring such pressure to bear on them as would make it virtually impossible for them to maintain the present size and price of a loaf of bread, in the face of the reductions that have been made in the prices of wheat and flour. The statement issued recently by the food administrator to the effect that an eight cent loaf of bread was about the hest that could be expected from the bakers, believed to have been made for the purpose of prepar- ing the public for the worst that could be expected in the way of a price. In fact, it has been intimated that unless the bakers show a willingness to co- operate with the food administrator in conforming to the spirit of the law means will be devised to bring them to terms, either through the exercise of such pressure as can be brought to bear upon them through the millers, and by informing the public of the extent to which they are now being mulcted by the bakers, or by: having congress amend the food law so as to give the food administrator the power to regulate the size and price of a loaf of bread. CLARK GHAMP OF INSURANGE BILL at the mercy of the is Galleries Cheer As Speaker Pleads for Soldiers Washington, Sept. 11.—Declaring that the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Insur- ance bill was the hest war measure yet brought beiore Congress, Speaker Clark yesterday arotsed the House to the only enthusiazm shown since con- sideration of the bill started last weelk. The Speaker’s words were applauded on the floor and in the galleries. He undertook to meet all objections that have been brought againsf “So far as I can sce.” “therc are four main objections to this bill brought by those who oppose | the compulsor, it. First, it increases the soldl compensation; second, that'the Go! ernment is likely to find itself ' in )} hole; third, that in some way it i terferes with the present pension tem, and, fourth, that the bill not prepared by the committee, Qut b: some one outside. Now, take thesel things in reverse order. What aiffer- ence' does it make who prepared thi bin? % “I-repeat what I said last Thursday about the Bond bill. If these youn men are willing to risk their lives én the batlefield, those of us who ste: at home ought to be willing to tak care of them in the best way thaj] can be devised. “I believe in insurance. I carp every kind of life insurance that hue| man ingenuity ever devised—time i surance, endowment Insurance, straight insurance, assessment insup« ance, accident insurane. I have $10,+ 000 accident insurance. 1 L believe that we should keep thi wives and children of the men wh will die over there from going to the poor house. Now suppose this bil does increase their pay, it is not going to hurt anybody. “I believe that in less than ten ye.§ every one is going to be insured une der the law. In some cpuntries that'| s done now. It keeps the widows | and orphans from suffering and keep# the crippled in the various dangerous occupations on life from coming to want, and I believe if there has ever been a bill introduced in this House that all right-thinking Americang without respect to political or religi- ous afliations will indorse, it {s thiz insurance bill.”” Representative Key of Ohio, chalr- man of tha Fensions Committee and the principal opponent of - the bill, . asked Speaker Cidrk with he thought, of abolishing the Bureau of Pcnstons and transferring the whole compensas tion scheme to the Treasury, as pro- posed in the pending bill. “It is not materlal,” answercd the. Speaker. ’ Representative Gillette of Massa- chusetts, acting Republican leader of the House, indorsed all of the bill ex- || cept the insurance feature. He said * allotment of pay to dependent familles was a fine thing and that the rates of conipensation for death and injury were worked out ntifical d tably. The cheap insurance plan, he said, would cost $1,800,000,000 the second year, and would not reach ail those who would bLenefit by it. WE CLOSE WEDNESDAY AT [} Special | EGGS 420 i F doz .
