Flag Day—Fifth Company to Participate in Governor’s Review—Knights of Colum- R ‘With the exception of ex-President Dunham of West: Willlam A, Brown,, of Wakefleld, is the only fire- man of the southern part of the state who has been honored with the pres- idency of the Rhode Island State Fire- men's league. Mr. Brown was elected at the annual meeting held last week and already tbe firemen of this sectlon are planning to secure the annual La- bor day muster in some available place in this part of the state. Mr. Brown is an_old fire-fighter and has been identified with fire companies since he was 18 years of age. He was born in New London in 1863 and first became a member of Niagara Engine compdny, No,'1, of that city, of which his broth- er, Charles R. Brown, was elected fore- man for the twelfth consecutive term last Wednesday evening. He moved to Mystic and became a member of -flve years ago ‘Wakeflelg and was ons of the leaders in organi the department in that willage in December, 1889. He is one of the fire wardens and was foreman of the department six years and pres- ident for three years. Gilbert Wilson, of Providence, was elected junior vice-commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, depart- ment of Rhode Island, at a meeting of the council of administration held Sat- urday afternoon. He is a member of Prescott post ang well known by com- rades throughout the state. Mr. Wil- son takes the place made vacant by the death of Patrick Egan, former super- intendent of police of the city of Prov- idence. The schools of Westerly have re- eoived the annual program of patriotic exercises in observance of Grand Army Flag day, which is peculiar to Rhode Island and is consolidated with Lin- coln’s birthday, February 12. To each of the schools in Westerly a member of the Grang Army of the Repubilc will be detaileq to take part in the exercises. Civic gratitude is indicated by the generosity of the federal gov- ernment and the state in contributing to the veterans by providing homes for their comfort, is the theme of the publication, which is illustrated with views of the Soldiers’ home at Bristol The inside cover contains a picture of Abraham Lincoln. The program con- tains 32 pages of verse and song In keeping with the event to be honored. Walter E. Danger, commissioner of schools, under whose direction the pro- gram was prepared, in his message to the boys and girls says: ““You are asked to keep Flag day that you may kAow and love the things that the flag may teach you. You are in- vited to commemorate the deeds of patriots that into your hearts may come an eager wish to serve your country. You are called to observe the birthday of Abraham Lincoln in honor of his noble life, that you may grow into his likeness in obedience to duty, patience in toil and kindness to others, “To remember kindly the benefits of home, the care and sacrifice of paj ents, and a grateful response in b dience and service are the beginnings of loyalty to home.

Her hands from her wrists down were sore, red and bleeding. She scratched them until they were almost raw. She suffered enough when they cracked and bled. Her hands and ‘wrists looked so bad I was discouraged to take her out in company. It kept her from leeping well. I tried g tment, Ointment, and also a treatment with no avall. I was so dis- couraged I sald ‘I will see what the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment will do.” I started to use them. I was obliged to keep her bands and wrists done up day and night in linen cloth saturated with the Cuticura Ointment, but always before it was applied I washed them in hot water and Cuticura Soap. The bathing soothed her wonderfully. | ‘When I took the cloth from her hands in thummmsthgfl.ryshnwofld.llpeelofl b Cuticwa Soap and Ointment completely cured her.

Allen, Feb. 10, 1912. { Cauticura Soap and Ointment do so much for poor complexions, red, rough hands, and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost so little that it is almost criminal not to use them.

In like fashion, grate- fully to acknowledge all the benefits of country, of which flag ever speaks, and to be true to country, as to home and school is loyalty to the republic. You are not only citizens of home and school, but also citizens of town or city, of state and of nation, which is only a.great civic brotherhood of our peo- ple. Home, school and state, with all their benefits, are but parts of coun- try. One flag waves for all, guarding life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- Dpiness. “In remembrance of all we owe the flag of the Union, in grateful honor of the men who saved the Union, and in reverent thankfulness for the lives of all patriots, let civic gratitude have a high place in this year's observance. For this end, you are reminded of the grateful care of our country for its veteran soldWers, in which it is hoped find a beautiful lesson of “In our country’s gratitude to those who have done something for the pub- lic_good, you may learn that man's noblest deéds are done for the good of others, whether for a few friends or for the people of the nation. The flag that floats over our land forever speaks of service for the common weal and signals forth the civic ideal, that all men’s good be each man’s rule. The boy or girl who obeys this law is true to home, school, country and God.” The eastbound train due to arrive in Westerly Sunday afternoon at 1.50 w: twenty minutes late due to an acci- dent caused by negligence of an em- ploye of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company and in violation of the rules of the com- pany.

It has been largely rebuilt and its electrification inaugurated during my administration and no passenger lon has been met with by reason of thu reconstruction. I desire now that this newest reconstruction shall be had without accident and therefore ask the indulgence of the public and the press, and particularly the press, because attacks upon a railroad management during a reconstruction pe- gemornlizntion in the personnel and working forces that directly increase the hazard of railroad Generally speaking, the hazard of railroad travel is less than that of street or other highway travel, but the responsi- i y upon the authorities who are held in full measure of responsibility for every accident whether or not such may be due to causes absolutely beyond their control.

AreTYo_u Prejudiced Against Advertising ? Most successful business men of to- day recognize that advertising is & necessity, and when well authenticated FACTS are set forth in a dignified manner regarding an article they know that the sensible and fair-minded pub- lic will respond in a generous way. The “ENGLISH HEMORRHOID TREATMENT” is the logical outcome of the practice and experfence of a New York physician, covering meny ars of trial and experiment. So suc- ssful was he with this treatment, in his own practice and also in the prac- tige of some of his professional friends, he established a laboratory for the wholesale preparation of this remedy, with a view of introducing it to the afflicted public. To accomplisk this purpose, pald-for advertising was necessary—as it could not be expected that publishers would exploit a business proposition without compensation—no matter how bene- ficial the exploited article might be to subscribers, That is Why you will, in There is one point we desire to im- press on the mind of everv reader, and that 1is the absolute sincerity and truthfulness of every statement made by us to the public, by means of ad- vertising. We belleve the “ENGLISH HEMORRHOID TREATMENT' is sane and practical, that it will soon be used in - hospitals throughout the country, and will be prescribed by many good physiclans and used in their practice. The “ENGLISH HEMORRHOID TRBATMENT"” is for sale at 11 drug stores in Norwich alone, besides by over 80 druggists in nearby towns and cities. Bvery druggist has a supply of book- lets on his counter for free dlstribu- tion. The booklet is a very well writ- ten treatise on hemorrhoids.
