Empty Botties Sign “I Bave picked up more SCALP HEALED IN 4 DAYS It affords me pleasure to tell of the good Cuticura Soap and Ointment have done my little girl, She had eczema on the scalp last fall. The trouble began in this way. First a small mattery pimple appeared. The pimple broke and the matter, a watery sub- stance, ran on the skin, forming a hard crust which was very itchy. It was on the top of her head, and the crust became as large as the palm of my hand. My doctor said it was 2 form of eczema. I used a remedy but had 1o success with it. Y used it nearly two weeks, then 3 friend recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuticura Ointment, plied it on the scalp at night &nd morning, and in four days the scalp weas all healed, no ant. than 700 m of crusts or scabs could be seen. Then 3 nched hor hair with Cuticura Sosp. She bas not had a sign of eczema since Cuticura Foap and Ointment cured her, and I shail ~ays keep them in my house.

At least there is no proof that the coatenis of the botties was used as a hLiniment for soreheads. New Truck Delayed. Members of the fire department and especially those who are of the Gen- eral Putnam hook and ladder company, have been watching ‘the freight yvards this week for the appearance of the new iruck that is expected to arrive on any train. Other citizens are also anxious to see the new $800 piece of apparatus, which will be taken to Put- nam next week for the firemen's pa- rade. Only Nine Pupils Enrolled. Of special interest as showing that some of the outlying district schools in Killingly are of considerable ex- pense for small accommeodation is the repost of the teacher in the Tucker district (o the superviser of schools for the month of September, the re- port showing that the average at- tendance during that period was 2 8-10 per cent. per day. The enrollment of this school is 9, but the average daily attendance for September was less than a third of that number. It is ex- plained that the pupils were at home most of the helping with the harvest, time, PETITION TALKED OF Asking Commissioners to Keep Sa- loons Off One Side of Main Street. There was some talk about town on Wednesday to the effect that a peti- tion would be circulated for the pur- pose of preseniing to the county com- missioners the fact that there is a desire to keep at least one side of Main street south of the railroad free from saloons, this being the west side. Here- tofore, in license years, women who have found trading to do in the stores in that section have been forced to run the gauntlet of a battery of sa- loons and the experience was not al- ways pleasant, Three years ago the commissioners did turn down some applicants with locations on that side, but the talk now is to keep that side quite clear of licensed places. COMMON BATTERY SERVICE Te Come Into Use on Sunday Morning Next. The preparation which has extended through months, for the changing of the telephone service from a magneto to a common battery system, is prac- ti completed at the central office | and if everything goes without a hitch the old hand ringing system will go into the discard. next Sunday morn- ing to give place to the most normally equipped central office service in | Windham county. It is proposed to | make the cut over at the time indi- cated and this will be guite wonder- fully done without a minute’s interrup- tion of the service. The new switch- hoard is on the second floor of the building, whereas the board now in use is on the ground floor. Common battery service will be eri- tirely new to a great majority of the subscribers in the Danielson division, but they will surely quickly agree in the general appreciation of it. It will, of course, be unnecessary to ring to | call central after the new system Is installed. Then it will simply be a <ing the receiver off the to the ear. The t. In case hook and operators putting it will do the no response is secured after taking the action above indicated, attentior may be secured by moving ihe receive hook up and down; it is not e i that it be torn out by the roots During next week it is expected experienced as to systems will be pr the work of everal of whom mon battery to generally oversee local operating force, have received a course of instruction ive to their new duties at the orwich central office. Basketball Enthusiasm to Awaken. It is hoped to stir up some old-time basketball enthusiasm \ in Danielson this winter, when this town will be represented in the new interstate league. 1t may prove difficult to arouse intercst at first because of the fact four of the six teams are from ichusetts towns and do not at time present the spirit of rivalr that has always existed in a friend way hetween adjacent towns, but this may come, Danielson has lost some of its_f. players during the past vear, Paine, Myers and Keach having gon. away, but there is still much { 200d material out of which to build a team In General.

Notable legal talent matched their mental abilifies in the superior court here Wednesday when the interesting case of May I. Wise vs. Daniel S. Brayman was commenced before Judge ‘William H. Williams, The action is a civil one and to court. The principals in the case are ad- joining property owners in the town of Hampton and the matter in dispute is the title to a triangular strip of lana containing approximately, 300 square feet and not more than 26 inches in width at its widest point. The plaintiff alleges that the defend- ant’s barn sits over on her property. The value of the land is not. great, but the case calls into action the serv- ices of Attorney William E. King and Thomas J. Kelley of Willimantic, who represent the plaintiff, and Attorney Charles E. Searls of this city and Terrence Carmody of Waterbury, who appear for the defendant. All Wednes- day was consumed 1n taking testimony ——much of which was of an expert na- re and given by engineers. Property deeds bearing on the strip of land in dispute and dating back to 1780 were laid in as evidence, the letters on ex- hibits in the case running nearly through the alphabet. The case will be on again today (Thursday). $2748 for Plaintiff. The case of Minnie Warren of Kill- inly vs. Francis Alba de Costa, former- 1y of Wauregan, listed for trial this term, has been settled out ‘of court, judgment for the plaintiff being agreed upon as $2,748.67. GIRLS OF ’61 Club Holds Third Reunion at Putnam Inn on Wednesday. “It is easy to say how we love new friends and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibres that knit us to the old.” This gquotation from George Eliot by Mrs. Preston B. Sibley, Danielson, fittingly expressed the sentiment that vervaded the gathering of the Girls of '61 club as her guests at their third reur:)u)n Wednesday at the Puinam inn in thi rs ago—a full half-century the ‘girls of "61 knew each other as particular friends and worked to- gether in the littie village of Mans- field Hollow in a remote corner of the county. . The golden arniversary gath- ering of Wednesday was therefore a delightful opportumity to be reunited for the time and recount the happy | events of their girihood days and the many exneriences that have come to them in the years that they have been apart, following pathwayrs in life that have taken some of them far away.
