No Heat Prostrations, Although Work- ers Swelter. Another terrible day of heat Wed- nesday inflicted about the same degree of discomfort as during the earlier days of ‘he week. One hundred degrees was reported from various points in town. In the mills and manufacturing piants in town the operatives fairly melted away in the cook-stove temperatures in which they worked. Each succeed- ing day of the hot wave is making it harcer to endure for® many who are gradually weakening under the strain, but no heat prostration cases have yet come to public attention here. In spite of strefs of wecther farmers are busily engaged in haying. Some fine crops are beinz harvested. but not so gdod as was anticipated during the rainy weather of May. The outlook for garden truck in ample quantities is growing more discouraging every day. Growing things are shriveling up un- der the intense heat. The rainfall for Windhan: ~ounty since June 1 has amounted to less than half an inch. FORTY-FIVE HONEST MEN —— Voluntarily Pay Personal Taxes, Though Their Names Are Not on the List. W. N. Arnold, tax collector for Kil- lingly, has received about $41,000 of the money due the town on the list last compiled.

On last year's list Mr. Arnold has coliect- ed all but $300 to $1,000 of the amount due the town, with all errors eliminat- ed. His co'lecifons on the latter men- tiened list amount to about $49,000. As to personal taxes, Mr. Arrold has received payment from a large ma- jority of the 858 people of the town who are liable to meet this obligation. Lesg than 209 have not paii—but they will. Mr. Arnold has also received personal taxes from about 45 people whose names were not included in the Jist given him to follow in making his collections. Tuition Receipts Will Increase. The last annua! report of the secre- tary of the tcwn school committee shcws that the amount received by Killingly for tuition (including rebatc from state on supervisor's salary) was £3,006. It is prohable that ar increase in this amount By $500 may be looked for during the school year tqcommence in September, this being due to the increased number of students from surrounding towns and the slightly in- creased charge for tuition, from $45 to $50, the latter rate probablv to be nearly nniform throughout the county hereafter. Big Barn at County Home. “The big new barn at the Windham county temporary home for children is so far completed as to permit hay be- ing stored in it. The barn was built to replace sne destroyed by fire a few months ago. Brief Local Notes, The night patrols in Danielson and Putnam have not been lonésome this week.

Gagne, Pomfret street, dur- ing the early hours of Wednesday. The break was not discovered until after daylight. A jhg of sherry and some bottles filled with whiskey were stolen. Indications are that the break was made by tramps. Following out this theory, Captain Murray started an investigation during the forenoon. At a point in the brush near the long bridge on the main ling of the Mid- iand division he came upon a camp of n ly a score of hoboes. He did not recover the stolen liquors, but had the satisfaction of driving the bums on their way. Later in the day evi- Jetce came to the attention of the po- lice that seemed to conflrm the be- lief that the tramps got away with the drinks. Half Holiday Today.

ARE ALWAYS ON THE DECLINE Wonder Is That the Dramatic and Culinary Arts Haven't Rsached the Bottom. From time.to time some ancient gentleman bursts into print on the subject of the Good Old Days of the stage, walls over the lamentable depre- clation in public tastes, raves about what he is pleased to call “the class- ies” and wonders In a spasm of hys teria what we all are coming to any- how. Why is it that the stage and home cooking are the only things that have consistently been on the decline for the last three hundred years? And why, iIf half what these old folks say ‘s true, haven’t the dramatic and culf- ary arts reached the bottom by this 1e? Anybody with one good eye | recourse to a public library can as- certain with ease that ever since the advent of George Frederick Cooke in this country, bewhiskered pessimists have been comparing the contem- porary stage with the one of a dead generation to the great disparagement of the former. There must be a limit, a bottom, a finish somewhere to the pit into which American theatricals have been tumbhug for the last 110 years.

It is used by physi- cians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of 8hree facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Thérd—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not con- tain any Opium, Morphine, es other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is AVegetable Preparationfor S e ANIS CRILDY The Kind You since its infancy. this.

Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowl- edge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall’s Journal of Health.

GENUINE CASTORIA Bears the Signature of Dr. W. T..8eeley, of Amity, N. Y.,says: “I have used your Cas- toria for several years in my practice and have found it a safe and reliable remedy.” Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal., says: ‘After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, especially to the pa- tient's disadvantage, as in this case. I enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : “‘ Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepea- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception, I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren's complaints, Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will joln me fn heartiest recom- mendatlon of Castoria.” Dr. Wm. 1. McCann of Omaha, Neb., says : ‘ As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says : ‘It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. I have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : “The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily enderse it and believs it an excellent remedy,” very satisfactory.” Dr, William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : * Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletoher's.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family apd have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration, As a laxative I eonsider it the peer of anything that I ever prescribed.” Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas.

Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Casto- ria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family,” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St.+Paul, Minn., says: “It affords me plea- sure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendation of any physician.
