Mrs. John B. Smith of Hudson street observed her 81st birthday at ler home yesterday. Mrs, Smith was born in Tolland county, April 19, 1842, and spent the greater part of her childhood in that section. She has always lived in Connecticut. In January, 1866, she was married to John B. Smith by her father, Rev. Charles Nichols, who was the pastor of the Congregational church in Higganum. The ceremony was performed in New Britain, Rev. Mr. Nichols having retired from active service.

The speaker who was wanted to close the cam- raign was so busy with appointments that it has been necessary to delay the date, but announcement is now made that he will be here on Sunday evening, May 13. He is Willlam E. Hawkes, who for about three years was in Turkey, the last year and a half in charge of an orphanage dn. which were 700 boys. He been in great demand as a speaker for Near East Relief, and Kensington is most fortunate in se- curing a date. The meeting will be at the Congregational church, a union service of hoth churches. Fire Wardens of Berlin The names of the fire wardens of Berlin have at last been discovered. First Selectman George B. Carter paid a visit to the state capitol the early part of the week and learned that W. F. Hutchinson has been named fire warden of this district and deputy Stevens and John Rengston have been made his assistants, Many inquiries have come to the town clerk and the selectmen re- garding the names of the wardens, as people were anxious to get permits to burn grass and rubbish. The mys- tery is at last solved. Foresters Initiate Court Mattabessett of the FForesters met last evening and initiated 15 can- didates.

The road will be 17 feet wide and will have a seven inch concrete Lase. It will be constructed of the same ra- terial as the turnpike and will serve as a short cut to Farmington avenue, at the same time reducing tne danger of accidents at Flannery’s corner, Mr. Carter also spoke of the ad- visability of installing a traitic signal at Flannery's corner, but was told that such a signal would not be prac- tical, as it would be confusing to drivers desiring to pass around it and would probably suffer much damage, all expenses for the repairing of | which would have to be paid by the town. Mr. Carter was complimented on the placing of a traffic policeman at lannery's corner to handle Sunday traffic. This step reduces the danger of accidents to a great extent. Farmers' Club Meeting. After many weeks of inactivity the Tfarmers’ club will once more resume its serles of meetings. The next one will be held tomorrow evening at the home of Willis 1. Savage.

External treatments seldom cure Piles. Nor do surgical operations. The cause is inside—bad circula- tion. The blosd i§ stagnant, flabby. The bowel walls are weak, the parts almost dead. ¢ To quickly and safely rid yoursolf of piles you must free the circulation —send a fresh current through the stagnant pools. Internal treatment is| the one safe method. J. 8. Leonhardt, M. D., set at work some years ago to find a real inter- pal Pile remedy. He succesded. He named his prescription HEM-ROID, and tried it in 1000 cases before he| was satisfied. Now HEM-ROID is sold by druggists everywhere under guar- antee.

A FOX'S NEXT MON. “THE TOWN THAT the veins FORGOT GOD” Plainville News ——— et e et TOWN MEETING 1§ CALLED FOR FRIDAY Selectmen Take Action on Pe- tition to Rescind Land Purchase BRISTOL. HOSPITAL DRIVE Legion Donates to Graves Decorating Fund—“Y" Groups to Hold Field Day—Pythians Make Final Reports on Celebration—Plainville Briefs, The board of selectmen has sent out a call for a special town meeting to bte held Friday evening, April 27, in the Town hall to act on the petition of 28 voters calling for the rescind- ing of the vote taken at the special town meeting held April 11, when it was voted to buy a tract of land from the John Copke Co. for $7,600 for a school site, The petition also called for tlre sub- mission to the voters of more than cne plece of land, and the meeting call states that if the vote is rescind- ed, a committee will be appointed to bring in recommendations of plots selected. This is the cutcome of a general wave of protest against the price voted to be paid for the Cooke tract. Many voters are of the opinfon that a school house is necessary in the section where the Cooke tract lies, but the price asked, they claim, is exorbitant. Bristol Hospital Drive. A commitee of citizens from Bris- tol met with a committee of the di- rectors of the Plainville Chamber of Commerce last evening to discuss the advisability of canvassing Plainville in the interests of a drive being car- ried on by the Bristol hospital. 1t was decided that the Chamber of Commerce would endorse the drive but there would be no house to house canvass in Plainville. The Bristol committee pointed out that there were 13 patients from Plainville who were cared for at the DBristol institution last year. They explained that the money to be collected would be put into a building and present plans call for an addition of 60 beds or an increase of from 20 to 80. W. L. Cafferty was appointed chairman of the commit- tee ‘of the chamber and all those who wish to make donations towards the Tristo] cause may send them to him. The quota for the entire drive is set at $365,000 but no quota has been set for Plainville. Members of the Bristol committee planned to make a personal canvass of the Plainville factories today. Graves Decorating ¥Fund. Brock-Barnes post, American 1 gion, has voted to contribute $10 to the Oversecas iraves Decorating Fund being raised in this country to insure decoration of graves of all vet- erans of the world war whose bodies rest in the graves in France. The American Legion is conducting a na- tional campaign for this purpose and appeals to the public have met with signal success throughout the coun- try. An appeal is made to all those in Plainville who are interested in secing the graves of the heroes of the war with dermmu' who still rest beneath French soil, decorated in a fitting manner to send domations to Postmaster J. Usher. Several Plain- ville boys who lost their lives in the great conflict are buried in Irance and the committec in charge of the fund here feels sure that a generous response will meet their appeals. The post also voted to endorse the Salvation Army drive and they call attention to the fact that two mem- bers of the Legion post are members of the community advisory board. On April 30, a joint meeting with the Ladies Auxiliary will be held and entertainment and refreshments will be provided. A committee has beén appointed to secure a pleture of every dead Legion man.
