President’s Annual Repert. __In his annual report President Selah G. —.akeman i Brothers—I greet vou as the rep- Tesentatives of the different lodges in this Jurisdiction who have been chosen by your brothers to meet here and hear the officers who were elected one ye. ago give an account of their steward- ship, so that you may decide whether they have performed the duties as- signed them in a satisfactory manne to make arrangements for the manag ment of the home for the ensuing year and elect officers to carry out those Pplans. Superintendent and Matron. ent of the home) has & bett opportunity than the president (o know. how much Brother Woodward and his good wife do, and how well they do it, at the home. They seem to be especially fitted for that kind of business, and the experience that they have had has gualified them so that they are able to manage the affairs of the home in such a manner that nol only the residents, but every broth and sister in this jurisdiction who has the interest of the home at heart should be thankful to know that their brothers and sisters are being carcd for by those who take such an interest in them. Board of Managers. The board of managers have held five meetings during the past vear, four at the grand secretary’s office in New Haven and one at the home In Groton, so that the full board could have. an opportunity to examine the new heater that had been installel, and all of the work that had been done at the home during the summer and fall of 1912 There has been as good an attend- ance at the meetings as could be ex- pected, the same interest seems to pre- vail that has in vears past. You will better understand the amount of work that has been accomplished when you hear the chairmen of the different committees read the reports. Secretary and Treasurer. Brother Wallace R. Johnson, who has been our able secretary for many vears, has performed his duties in h. usual manner and proved by his ac- tions that he is ready at all times to do his part of the work as it seems to e for the best interest of the home. Brother Leopold De Leeuw, our treasurer, has proven by his works to be the proper person to have charge of our finances by the ideas that he has advanced to the board of managers and the willingness that he has shown to do the extra work that would he necessary, if those ideas were accept- ed, so that our income might be in- creased.

Mrs. Roland Ockery, Street, Norwich, Conn., says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills brought me great relief from pains in the small of my back that caused me great suffering. When- ever I stooped, sharp twinges darted through my body and I was handi- capped in doing my housework. I felt miserable when 1 began using Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from N. 'D. Sevin & Son’s Drug Store, but their good effect was soon noticeable and I continued taking them until my trou- ble was entirely removed.” The above statement iven August 24, 1908, and some vears later Mrs. Ockery said: * ‘You may continue to publish my former statement in praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills. They cured me of kidney trouble and I have been In good health since. Other members of my family have taken this remedy with excellent results.” For sale by all dea.rs. Price 50 cents.

Necrology- & During the last year only one mem- ber of our board of managers has becn czlled to that home from which no onc can return. Brother E. L. Bronson of Waterbury joined the 0Ad Fellows in 1§83, late: Our Brothers lodg:, 1913. Buried in he joined Nosahogan lodge, 21, by card, Nov. 13, 1892. He was noble grand from July to December, 1897. He joined Ansantawae encampment, No. 20, July 27, 1893. Was chief pa triarch from Jan. 1, 1901, to Jan. @ 1902. He joined the Rebekahs in North Attleboro, Mass, later withdrawing and joining Winona, No. 8, of Wat bury. He was born May 15, 1860, in Woicott, Conn. He died Feb. 18, 1913 i Waterbury, and was buried Feb. 1913, in Riverside cemetery. He b longed to the Bunker Hill Congrega- tional church, of which he was a dea- con and trustee. Brother Bromson lcaves a widow, one daughter, man: relatives and a large circle of frienls | to mourn his loss. He was a quiet man and of few words; his judgment was good and his advice safe to fol- low. He will be missed very much by the board of managers. Our Brother E. L. Bropson has gone over only 4 littie in advance. Recommendations. No. 1. That a per capita tax of 15 | | cents, semi-annually, ‘be levied the | same’ as last year. No..2. That the grading, which was not finished this last vear, for the want of time and money, be completed. No. 3. As all of the fences on our property are very poor, I would recon:- mend that the incoming board of man agers be empowered to build as much new fence as our means will allow Do not forget, brothers, that 15 cents | semi-annually only means just a trifle half a cent a week for each brother, and think how that will do.

Compare this one feature with the same on other cars —see if the Chalmers isn’t better done. Rims are demountable. Tires may be inflated from the compressed air tzaz— no pumping. Others ask you to pay extra for this feature. In view of all these good points, a Chalmers “Thirty-Six” is particularly in- viting because of its price—only $1950 (f. a. b.
