Jay Smith Co., New London.—adv, l Policeman Fenton Made Poli George Stanton of Lyme, who says he is an old sailor and is over 50 years old, was rescued from probable drown- ing in the harbor Tuesday evening by the timely arrival of Policeman Henry Fenton, who was able to grab the old man by the collar and hold his head above water until Policeman Perry ar- rived, when .they both got him out of the water onto dry land. Enough intoxicated to attract Police- man Fenton's attention the man was seen in Water street about 9.30 o'clock, but when the policeman started to- wards him, he disappeared into a sa- loon. From this he soon came out and walked off towards Washington street, apparently considerably braced up, but when he reached the alleyway at the side of the Schwartz building he turned down there and towards the river. Following along within a minute or two thereafter, the policeman could find no trace of Stanton, although he looked along the rallroad tracks as far as the tunnel under the elevator building. As the officer was return- ing his keen ears located a slight gurg. ling noise in the water, but when he flashed his light alon the dock front back of Barstow Co.s store, he saw only a hat floating on the water and no other signs of the man he was looking for. To get .the hat he had to get down on a launch that was there and as he OLD SRILDA WENT OVERBOARU Rescue of George Stanton of Lyme at the Dock—Man Had Wandered Off in the Dark— Bobbed Up In Water Within Arm’s Length of Searching / ! o e . was on the launch, he suddenly saw Stanton coming up through the water right under him and making a des- perate struggle to reach the surface. Policeman Fenton was able to reach him and hold his head above water, but found that he could not get the nearly drowned man out alone so that he whistled for help and when Police- man Charles Perry responded they lifted him to shore and brought himi to police headquarters. Here he was taken in chgrge by Captain Twomey and stripped of his clothes and wrap- ped in a bianket before he was put in the lodgers' room to sleep. He was thoroughly exhausted and without doubt would have drowned in a min- ute or two more in the water as he seemed to be unable to swim or keep himself afioat. Later when he was aroused after having had a short sleep at police headquarters, he drowsily replied to Captain Twomey's questioning that he was an old sailor and lived alone in a house on the shores of Rogers pond in the townof Lyme. He said that he did nothing for a living as he had a pension of $12 a 73 Good Digestion Necessary— Mi-o-na for Stomach His. Do you want to be comfortable and happy uatil a ripe -old 7 - you want to learn the secret of lookl and feeling young? It is not much. a secret after all—just give a Httle miore thought to the care of your di- gestive organs. Nearly all the diseases affecting mankind have their origin in the stomach and bowels. It is what you eat that causes most of your dis- comforts. If you overload the stomach, or take food ‘that does not agree—kicks back, as it were—trouble is Indicated by headache, dizziness, sour stomach, gastritls, and other symptoms of In- digestion. Then it is that you should take Mi-o-na the specific for out-of- order stomachs. Old age is & general wearing out process. It starts when you over-tax or impose on the digestive system. 'f the stomach and bowels are not right they cannot properly digest your food and you are improperly nourished. Your resistance is low. You are lacking in vitality when not properly noorished—disease may find you in easy prey. Resistance must -be kept up to normal if old age does not ap- pear before its time.

It must be understood by visitors that all the work is not exhibited because of the limited space, but that which is will represent the various styles indulged in on the playgrounds. In addition to the “expected police supervision there will be the associa- tion’s own corps of men to assist in case of rowdyism. Ted Sullivan and Mr. Mullen, both employed by the board of education, who have ably as- sisted in the playground work, together with Messrs, Bent and Conlin, will as- sist in this supervision. The committee of arrangements feel that while the afternoon is most too short to put on an extensive pro- gramme it will be vividly seen that something has been accomplished by the playground association this past year, both in the play element as well as the educational and constructive. To the teachers a great deal of credit must be given, for with sacrifice to their own welfare they have entered into the last week's work with all kinds of enthusiasm, working night and day. and the children manifest their appreciation by executing their work in a_delightful manner. To the mothers who have allowed children to attend the association extends their thanks. It is hoped that with this beginning that next vear and those to follow all the mothers will be persuad ed to see the advantages of the pl grounds, with the result that no child will seek the street for his or her play. The order of the dancing will be as follows: How Do You Do, Dance of Greeting, Reap the Flax, Playmate Danece, German Hopping Dance, May- ole. ¥ The athletic events are to be as fol- low: Senior running broad jump, 35 vard dash, running high jump, shot put. potato race, five potato race, relay race. Junior 25 vard dash, running broad jump. There is alos to be a bovs’ re- lay race, an interground three-legged obstacle Tace and a sagk race. TOOK DANGEROUS SPOT FOR A SLEEP George Babcock Lay With Head Near Trolley Rail at Thamesville. George Babcock of Jewett City, mid- dle aged, courted death Tuesday even- ing when he lay down to sleep along- side the trolley track on Thames street rear the city line and was found there with his head close to the rail by the crew of the Montville trolley car due in_ Franklin square at 9.15 o'clock. The car came to a stop almost over the sleeping man and in such a posi- tion that it was the opinion that he would surely have been struck if the car had happened.to have had double step runnipg boards. The man lay face downwards. Motorman Conrad and Conductor Taylar roused him and walked him over to a vacant house near by where they left him and made report at the car station in Franklin square, from which the police were notified. Sergeant John Kane went to Thamesville on the 10.15 car and was shown where the man was still asleep in the vacant house where he had been left. He brought him in to police headquarters on the charge of intoxi- cation. S For September Criminal Term.

Season for Excursion Steamers Has Been a Profitable One. People at Watch Hill and Block Isl- and are circulating a petition which seeks to have the steamer Block Isl- and’s season extended to Sept. 15. The advocates of the extension have re- ceived little encouragement that it will be granted, as the steamship compa- ny’s plans for using the steamer to re- lieve other Steamers in its service have been made far in advance. Steamer Block Island makes her last run, as far as it is possible to deter- mine at present, on next Tuesday, which is Sept. 2. The little motor boats Yantic and Shetucket wili conclude their daily trips on the Thames Sept. 7. This is the date set also for the windup of the season for the Hotel Griswold boats, Griswold and Belleview, though it is said there is a possibility of the latter boats being run a few days later if the weather continues fine. The weather for the season has been ideal, which accounts, the officers of the excursion steamers say, for an un- usually prosperous season. While fine weather is anticipated after Labor day plans have been made to close the shore resorts and the boats will have little business after the summer people take their children back to the citles to_begin school terms. In the matter of Sundays the excur- sion boats have been especially favor- ed, not having encountered a ralny Sunday, while last year five out of seven Sundays were rainy.

Coroner Brown went to New London Tuesday morning to investigate the death of John Hiles on Monday after- noon in the Central Vermont railroad vard. His Inquiry resulted in the con- clusion that Hiles met death purely through accident with no blame at- tached to anyone but himself.
