NORWICH BULLETI _ MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1912 WESTERLY MASONS ATTEND SERVICE Special Sermon to Narragansett Commandery on Easter Day by Rev. J. W. Ford, of First Baptist Church—Jewett City Brakeman Loses Leg in Fall From Car—Stabat Mater Fimely Sung by Choir of Immaculate Conception Church —State’s Drastic Discipline For Man Adjudged Common Drunkard. ‘ The members of the Westerly fire department, in common with the vol- utteer firemen of the state of Rhode Island, are interested in the act pre- sented in the general assembly amend- ing the laws that relate to the distri- butlon of the relef from the State Firemen's Rellet fund. The amend- sment provides that the board, two members of which are appointed by the f:::emor annually, and the third by the State Firemen's league, may, in case any volunteer fireman is in- jured in the performance of his duty, epd ns a result of such injury is ‘wholly gr partially incapacitated from earning his lvelthood, grant such fire- mon regular monthly relief not ex- ceeding $20 a month; and in case a fireman dies from such injury a sim- jlar monthly payment may be made to his widow or minor children for a period of two years, The amended act further provides that the unexpended balance of the appropriation made annually for the rellef sball continue to be available for w perlod of three years to be used in case the annual appropriation is ex- hausted in any year, Every year since the fund was esiablished the board has annualiy returned to the general treas- urer more than half of the $2,600 ap- propriated. With the establishment of the monthly payment proposition, hewever, 1t has been deemed advisa- ble that there be a sinking fund for use in case the necesslty arises. The amendments have the endorse- ment of the Rhode Island Firemen's lsague, which represents through its afflilated associations, numbering six- ty, more than five thousand volunteer fGre fighters. TFor several years there Bas been a growing sentiment in favor of additional provision for the relief o€ volunteer firemen and their families. When near Lincoln park, between Westerly and Providence, on the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- read, John Burns, age 21, of Jewett City, employed &5 a brakeman, re- eelved injuries that may have fatal termination. He fell from the top of the car on which he was riding and several cars passed over his left leg, completely amputating the member. He also recelved severe scalp wounds. The accident happened Saturday aft- ernoon. Young Burns was placed aboard the Bay State Limited traln, | and taken to Providence, where he was | removed to the Rhode Island hospital. 8ince it was decided that the cor- merstone of the town and oourt houss would not be placed on Friday, April 3%, the time originally selected, there bas been some coufusion of dates. Prom what was considered a reliable wource it wes stated that the cere- mony would Dbe performed by the srand lodge of Masons of the state of Rhode Island and on April 13 in- #lead of 19, Now that date is de- elared to be wrong and it is probable that the cornerstone will be lald on the afternoon of Monday, April 22, two weeks from todey. This date has been moggested to Wendell R. Davis, the acting grand master, and is, approved | mhe other officers of the grand lodge. building commission will m: formal and official notice of the date in a day or two. h.lln.thl:’n "T:r an,v l:‘r:k’:mln in the empl e New Yo ew Ha- ven & Hartford railroad, whose home is in Morgan street, Pawcatuck, Is in the Rhode Island hospital as the re- sult of serious injuries received by be- ing struek by a waterspout in the train shed in Providence, Friday after- noon.

Finally, there came a solution in the election of John B. Brown of Westerly, who was not present, and therefore could not decline. Paul H.

Each person must know from experience what his or her “share of sleep” is and should take great care to see that lack of complete rest does not drain away vitality. KING'S PUREMALT is 4 nutritive, palatable tonic that physicians recommend to . the nervous, the overworked and the underblooded. It aids digestion, creates a healthy craving for nutritious food and re- builds wornout nerve cells. With restful sleep comes better nerve condition and im- proved digestion. KING’S PUREMALT is so safe to use that it is frequently prescribed for nursing mothers, and gives strength to both mother and child. Coilier’s Weekly in its issue of September 2, 1911, published an article entitled, “Here Are Foods That Are Pure,” by Margaret Wagner. There was printed in this article “A List From Which Housewives May Choose This list was the result of several apalytical work by the pupils of the State Normal School at Westfield, Massachusetts. under the direction of Professor Lewis B.
