The “Bandlet” is the mewest Nemo figure-reducing device. 'Partly elastic; gives gentle but firm support—better than any separate abdominal belt cost- ing from $5.00 to $25.00; but it's a part of this new $5.00 corset—mo extra eharge for it. It holds in the front steels—they can’t stick out at the bottom. Women know what that means. Stout women will “rave” over No. 522—it's a marvel of comfort and cor- style. Just as good, too, for women of medium or even slender build, who aspire to the last degree of figure reduction. rect There are other Nemo models for every figure—$2.00 to $10.00. See the latest Nemos in this “Fif- teenth Anniversary Sale”—it's well worth while. i ““Trade with US and Save Money” ISAAC CHAMPEAU, Mgr. Putnam, - - - - - Conn. Agents for Standard Patterns.

Jacob Pidge, 8, of South Killingly. was taken to Backus hospital Thurs- day evening with a fracture of the left thigh bone as the result of a fall on Thursday morning. Mr. Pidge left his home before daylight and in going down a hill fell and sustained the in- jury noted. Mr. Pidge was found after the day broke by A. A. Jacques. The injured man was lying in the gutter beside the road, with water from the heavy rain and melting snow pouring over him. He was taken to his home on a sled and Dr. F. P. Todd of Dan- ielson summoned:—The physician later ordered him removed to the hospital at Norwich. Because of his advanced age ;| serious results may be expected from the accident,which was due to the slip- pery condition of the road, caused by the storm. - Mr. Pidge is one of the oldest residents in that part of the town of Killingly.

Bad weather was undoubtedly re- sponsible for reducing the size of the audience at the Town hall on Thursday evening, when The County Sheriff was presented. The play proved very good. Pictures in Children’s Room. There is a pretty collection of pic- tures in the children’'s room at the li- brary this month, The collection is loaned to the library by & Boston art firm. Né School Signal. The "firé alarm was used Thursday morning to signal no school. This warning saved many a child a hard walk through streets choked with slush and a thousand little rivers. Rain Cleared Off Ice Ponds. ‘The rain of Thursdey pleased the icemen. It cut away the greater part of the that has been lying on the ponds and rivers since the big storm of Christmas night. This snow has kept the ice from freezing as fast as it would otherwise have done and has thereby delayed the cutting. Now they will be able to get the crop. Permanent Charitable Society Mooted. The money contributions to help the poor of Danielson amounted to $72.54. Such money as remained after provid- ing a Christmas dinner was expended for coal and fuel, which was distribut- ed to those In need. A permanent or- ganization to carry on this work in aid of the poor has been recommended. ALL SORTS OF WEATHER. Getting About on Thursday a Matter of Difficulty and Danger. Tt wak something awful, , on Thursday. The man tbat regulates the { weather had more unkind things said about him in a few hours than has ever been said to all the baseball um- pires in the world—and about cvery- thing sayable has been said to them. One could slide or wade or swim about anywhere in the borough, and about everyone who ventured to come out on the Streets did one or all of the three, and some people did them all in rapid succession. It was like picking your way through a river on foot. Every street was a little waterway all by it- self and ankle deep with slush. The rainfall was so heavy and the ground is frozen so hard that it was non- absorbent, and that caused the trouble. The rain formed brooks and the brooks formed lakes everywhere. Ice-covered walks became as slippery as glass and added to the difficulty of getting about. Sawdust and ashes helped relieve the condition to some extent, but mnot enough to save many persons from getting falls. There were so many places where the walking was treach- erous that many fell, although no one was reported seriously Injured in Dan- felson. Reports of accidents of a seri- ous and even fatal nature, however, came from surrounding towns as the result of the storm. Conditions be- came so bad at noon that many of the female employes in stores and factories {'were unable to get to their homes for dinner. In spite of the fact that it rained hard for many hours, there.is still much snow in_places. Ballard Estate $60,000. The inventory of the estate of the late Isaac B, Ballard of Ballouville has I been filed with Judge Oliver E. Getty of the probate district. The estate amounts to about $60,000. Telephone Talk. A telephone talk was held in Bab- cock hall in Plainfield one evening this week. The talk was illustrated with views and was attended by members of the grange and telephone employes in this section of the county. Hourly Service Continued. The indications are that the hourly service on the Providence and Daniel- son road will be continued this winter without interruption. It has been the custom in past years to give only a two hours’ service at this time of the winter, but this change is usually in- augurated before this time. Storm Killed Trade. The stores were practically deserted during all of Thursday and the busi- ness men closed for the day with their receipts about as small as s expected at any time during the year. The walking was so bad that it killed trade. Hunters Renewing Licenses. Those who hunt in the town of Kil- lingly have commenced to make appli- cations for renewals. All of the li- censes issued during 1909 expired with the opening of the new year. Those who are renewing at this time are mostly fox hunters. It is odd thu a hunter’s licemse is required in going after an animal upon which « bounty is paid. Husband—I_found the earring you lost. Wnl 1 thought you would have ‘me & new pair. PUTNAM NEWS.

Hope to Save Fihger, George H. Bramwell, formerly of Maynard, Mass., an employe at the mill of the French River Textile coj pany at Meehanicsville, nearly sevefed the little finger of his left hand when he slipped on the ice apd struck a casting in the machine shop of the plant Thursday. He was sent to the Day-Kimball hospital, but was released later . in the day. It was thought at first that it would be necessary to amputate the finger, it was so badly injured, but it was treated in the hope that it may e saved. Not Yet ldentified. On Thursday A. M. Towne, at the instance of Coroner A. G. Bill of Dan- ielson, made photographs of the man that has been lying unidentified at the undertaking rooms of L. B, Smith, all this week., The chances of learning who the man is seem to grow less and less and he will probably be buried to- day (Friday), the third unknown to be picked up after meeting death in the open in this section within a few months, and buried without trace of his friends or relatives being found. SURPRISED THE MAYOR. Came to Fire Company’s Quarters to Resign and Received Gift. Mayor Archibald Macdonald was certainly less surprised when he wus elected to head the present city gov- ernment and just as certainly no more than he was Thursday eve- when he made a customary visit to headquarters of the fire depart- ment, amd found the members of the General Putnam hook and ladder com- pany, of which he has ‘been foreman for twenty years, assembled and wait- ing to present a gift about which he had not received the slightest inkling of information. It was one of those rare occasions when a surprise really surprises and the mayor was, to say the least, taken aback. The members of the company, from which leadership they knew he was going to resign at last night's meet- ing, kept the move they contemplated under their hats until the proper mo- ment, but when they brought forth an exceptionally fine crayon portrait of the mayor and presented it with their compliments the tableau they had been planning for was exceedingly effective. The mayor recovered promptly, but he showed how he feit about it for a minute. Assistant For man Martin Welch made the presen tion speech. The company had invited in Chief Englneer M. R. Joy and fo mer Chief Engineer W. H. Mansficld wigh the assistant engineers of the department, and Mayor Macdonald re- cefved a shower of congratulations from all. The presentation was followed by a supper and smoke talk in the soc room and there were many speeches and many pretty things sald about the mayor and retiring foreman. It wx something of a love feast, for th mayor is a big favorite in the depart- ment. The portrait of the mayor Is a fine piece of work and one of the best likenesses ever made of him. It is fremed in mission style quartered oak anc all the firemen can guess that it will have a prominent place in the Macdonald home. The feeling of the members of the department toward the mayor is fully reciprocated. SLIPPED, STUNNED. Strange Death of Olive On Her Way to Olive Lesure, 26, empl in Hammond DROWNED. Lesure While Work, e a spooler & Knowlton's silk mill, was found lying dead in the gutter on School street ut 7.10 on Thursday morning, by D. B, {Ibert, who was on his way to work. In- vestigation of the case showed that the young woman had met a sur- prisingly sudden death, a result of the storm and slippery going. She fallen on the walk, was stunned rolling into the gutter was drowned in the water that was running in un- usual volume. Miss~ Lesure was a boarder at the home of Mrs. Adelarde Durfee, at 119 School ‘street, and had left the house at the usual time to go to the mill. She had not been out of the house a minute when she fell for her body was found' close to her boarding place. The bpdy was not discovered, however, until probably twenty minutes later. From the state- ments of persons, made later in the day, it is evident that several must have passed the spot where Miss Le- sure was dying or already dead, with- out noticing her prostrate form. It was dark and raining gt the time and though several say thdt they saw something lying beside the walk, they had not the slightest idea that it was 2 human being., M was near daylight when Mr. Gilbért same along. Dr. J. 'B. Kent, medical cxaminer, viewed the body, giving his opinio; that Miss Lesure met death as de- scribed. There were no bruises on the body. The body was later removed to the undertaking rooms of Ballard & Clarke. Miss Lesure, who has r tives in Pomfret, has lived in Putnam about seven years. She was employed in the silk mill as a spooler and is said to have been one of the most rapid workers in the department. She was a young woman qf excellent char- acter and her death was a shock to many friends. ‘It was also one of the “most pecullar deaths ever recorded in this city, Officers of Royal Arcanum, Following are the newly elected and installed officers - of Putnam council, Royal Arcanum: Regent, George W.

ANOTHER RAP AT AMERICA BY GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, Comment on Deci len szon Againai « Woman Strike New York, Jan. 8.—The irresistible George Bernard Shaw has taken an- other rap at America. By request of two leaders of the striking shirtwaist makers, he has commented on the de- cision given on Decomber 30 by Jus- tice Olmstead against a woman strik- er who entered complaint against a strike breaker. “I know you are not working and are on strike,” said Justice Olmstead, “you are on strike against God and nature, whose prime law it is that man shall earn his bread in the sweat of his brow. You are on strike against God.” Mr, Shaw’s reply, received today by cable, follows: “Delightful medieval America.
