Things are said to have run along rmoothly In the DiVivo family until #h~ father decided to take a second wife unto himself. The son is sald to have objected and in spite of his srotestations, the elder DiVivo march- s to the altar for a second time.

At one time the flames soared 20 feet into the alr. The lot was overgrown with weeds, and it is belleved that a spark from an engine set them on fire. . A bucket brigade was formed, while others fought the flames with brooms and shovels.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT the EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicants for Insurance An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com- | panies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected s because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma- jority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Judging from reports from drug- gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr, Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. Tt stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. We find that Swamp-Root is strictly an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it a trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, wish if you first to test this great preparation send ten cents | to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. for a sample bottle. When Writing be sure and mention the New Britain Daily Herald. Often | Piainviile New: FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS INTO ACTION Galled Out Twice Yesterday to Ex- mgmsh Grass Fires SIGNAL SY.‘)TE]‘v” lS POOR At Least, of Number Town—Think That = That is tho Opinion a of the Citizens of *the New System Should Be Installed. The Plainville Hosa | called Into action twice yesterday. At noon a still alarm was sent In and the chemical was despatched to North Washington street to extinguish a grass fire’ which was blazing fiercely. At 9 o’clock last evening another call was sent in from North Washington street to the effect that there was an- other grass firc in that neighborhood. Central was asked to turn in the | alarm department but for some unknown reason the system refused to work. Chier Prior could not be found but Assistant Chief Foran was notified and hastened to the telephone ex- change. The efforts of the assistant chief were also in vain. However, he solved the problem of calling out the hose company by going to the Bristol | Manufacturing company’'s factory, waking the watchman and tooting the whistle himself. The flremen responded sharply to the calls of the whistle and in short time were on their way to the scene of the blaze. The delay caused by the fallure of the whistle to blow from the telephone exchange might have proven serious had ‘the town been visited by a real fire. Considerable comment was heard this morning regarding the signal system now in vogue and many are of the opinion that a new and more up-to-date method of calling the hose company into action should be in- stalled. Making Plans for Holiday. Alrady people are making plans to observe Thanksgiving and from all indications the hollday this year will not be much different from others. Business will be practically suspended during the day and the factories will remain idle as will the majority of the stores and offices. Barber shops will be closed but to accommodate patrons will remain open until 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The post office will close at 12 o'clock noon and city delivery will be made in the morning only. There will be no ru- ral delivery. Union service will be held tomor- row night at tho Plainville Congrega- tional church. The program has not heen announced. A majority and probably all of the soldiers at Camp Devens will be given furloughs and permitted to return to thelr homes. Many of the boys In the Naval Reserve and other branches of the service have applied for fur- loughs which will probably be grant- ed. It is likely that the management of the Connecticut trolley company will provide extra trolley service on the Plainville line. Fngagement Announced. Mrs. Charles A. Morrill of Worces- ter, Mass., has announced the engage- ment of her daughter, Miss Charlotte Elizabeth, to Lewis V.

Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and these herbs all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their medi- cinal properties are at their best. The watchword In preparing these herbs is cleanliness, the process of percolation is perfect. All utensils and tanks are sterilized and the medi- cine is pasteurized, clarified and fil- tered before it is bottled for the con- sumer. It is this wonderful combination of herbs, together with the skill and care used in the preparation, which has mado this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of fe- male ills.

New Idea Provides for Loans to Federal Government Hartford, Nov. 27.—The United States Government War Savings Plan will soon be put in operation in Con- necticut. This new idea provides for loans to the federal government of amounts as small as 25 cents and in- cludes the issue of $5 Interest bear- ing stamps. The money Invested by this plan is a war loan to the federal government just as much as is the money used to buy Liberty Bonds, and it will be used by Uncle Sam to win the war against the Kaiser. Howell Cheney of Manchester has been appointed state director for this work. He has announced the follow- ing committee which will help him “put the plan across” in Connecticut: Howell Cheney, Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster, Mrs. Morgan G. Bulke- Rev. Dr. Flavel S. Luther, Rt. Rev. Henry A. Bumstead, Charles D. Hine, E. Kent Hubbard, Edward P. Jones, Rev. Dr. Flavel S. Luther, Ret. Rev. John J. Nilan, Rev. Dr. Rockwell H. Potter, Elijah Rogers, Julius Strem- lau and C. T. Treadway. Mr. Cheney will be aided by the assistant directors, N. Searle Light and Mrs. Bernard T. Willlams. Briefly, the plan is this: Thrift stamps are to be sold for 25 cents each. Anyone who wishes can get a government thrift card holding six- teen of these stamps. When all the spaces are fllled, that is, when $4 has been invested in thrift stamps, the card may be exchanged by the pay- ment of a few cents for a $6 war sav- ings certificate stamp, and a new card will be issued with spaces for twenty of these $6 stamps. The hold- er may then start a second thrift card. During the month of January, 1918, the payment required for a $5 stamp, in addition to the $4 invested, will be 12 cents, and this will increase one cent each month during the year 1918. The plan is based on 4 per cent interest, compounded quarterly, and the investment is for five years. On January 1, 1923, the government will pay $6 for each stamp which in- dividuals had bought at a cost of $4 plus a few cents. The war savings certificate may be turned“Into money at any time prior to the date of ma- turity, and the holder will recelve back the money invested together SAGE TEA BEAUTIFIES AND DARKENS HAIR Don’t stay gray! Sage Tea and Sul- phur darkens hair so naturally that nobody can tell. You can turn gray, faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if youw'll get a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound” at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old famous Sage the addition of other Ingredients, are sold annu- ally, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so nat- urally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied. Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray halr w@n- ishes and vour locks become luxuri- antly dark and beautiful.
