A person ip g0od health is likely to have a genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work. On the other hand. it the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food, work becomes drudgery. “Until recently,” writes a Washing- ton girl, * I was a railroad stenograph- er, which means full work every day. “Like many other girls ajone in a large city, I lived at a boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, ete. “After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terri- ble effort, and I thought the work was to blame—too arduous. “At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on Grape- Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast. T concluded if it would tide him over a morning’s heavy work, it might help me 80 cn my way home one night I 'bought a package and next Nuts and milk “I stuek to Grape-Nuts, and in less than two weeks I noticed improve- ment. 1 remember I used to walk the 12 blocks to business and knew how £004 it wes simply to live. “As to my work—well, did you ever feel the delight of having congenlal work and the strength to perform jt? That's how 1 felt. I truly belleve life and vigor in every grain of Grape-Nuts.” Battle Name ‘l ich. Read “The IVille” in pkgs. “There's & sen.

It was a pageant unique, one that can rarely be held. Few places there are that can boast, like Stoningten, of so many threads, and they of so many colors as those that are woven into the web of Stoni s history. Ex- ploration, conqus ettiement, de- fense, a call to adventure that led her mariners to acour every sea, a mpirit of patriotiem that brought her son followed b har dasxhtes' grayecs in hopes, to fight on the flelds of eyery war, and in times of peace to bear & worthy part in public service—these are some of the things thus recalled once more to memory that made Ston- ington’s pageant réally great and worth while, Thowe sturdy men and noble women of colonfal days and of war times, worthily represented by thelr descendants, arouse pride in the past, _emulation In the present, ambition” for the future. And thus Stonington's celebration reached the cuimination of its true aignificance on Monday _afternoon, after three days that have been really in themselves history-making in the old south-coun- ty town, MEMORIAL TABLET DEDICATED. On Site of Fort Where Steningten Drove Off the British Invaders 100 Years Ago. On the site of the old redoubts of the defenders where a hundred years ago they drove off the British, im- pressive exercises of commemoration and of dedication were carried out at noon Monday. It was the occasion of the gift by the Connecticut body of the United States Daughters of 1812 of & meortal tablet to mark the place where the old fort stood. To Dr. James H. Weeks, president of the Stonington Historical soclety was com- mitted the task, months ago, of lo- cating the precise place where those temporary batteries that did such gal lane service in 1814 were thrown up. This place he found the Atwood Cos office had been erected upon, and hers it was on Monday that the beautiful bronze tablet was unvelled. Little Miss Rosamond Spencer Holmes, the 7 year old great-great-granddaughter of Coptain Jeremiah Holmes, pulled the ribbon that Jet fall the American flag from the face of the meorial tablet. The charing little girl stood up on a chair and smiled and did her part gracefully, Previous to this pretty incident in the programme, Fireman's Light In- fantry band of Providence had played, after marching down through the bor- ough following a concert at the Park. The Oid Battle Flag. In presiding over the exercises af- ter Rev. John O. Barrows, of Nor- wich, formerly pastor of the Road church, Stonington, had offereq the in- vocation Dr. Weeks held up to the large assembly the most precious relic In the possession of the town. This was the battle-torn flag which waved over the fort and which at the dedi- cation yesterday was given a place of honor in front of the speakers. Dr. Weeks offered all a welcome to the place where the defenders of 1814 stood to battle against a common foe. He had heard for a long time what the men did at Stonington and he was rightly proud of it. But it was fitting that a body of women such as the U. S. Daughters of 1812 should be especially welcomed, for did not the Wwomen of Stonington In 1814 prepare the bread and corn that the men in the fort might hold out until the bat- tle was won. Over many a hot hearth that summer did mother or wife or sweetheart bend that the defenders might be strengthened to fight on. The woman then, as always were willing to bear their share of the bur- en. Dr. Weeks sald that the lesson to be gained from these exercises of cel- ebration is that the town and the state and humanity need our services Be proud of our town and commonwealth. He recalled the days when Stonington sent fifty pounds of lead for the Battle of Lexington and how in the Civil war many a man went out from the town to uphold the honor of the flag and the unlon of the states. As cit- izens of this glorious country ‘Wwe should make a much closer study of the history of the great men of the past. Presented the Tablet. ‘The children of the town sang with vim the ringing verses of Henry Rob- Inson Palmer's Flag of Stonington and then Mrs. Clarence F. R. Jenne of Hartford, president of the U. 8. Daughters of 1812 in Connecticut pre- sented the tablet. The.desire to per- petuate the memory of important events in instinct in the human race, she anid. Tt is right and fitting for us to gather here this summer morn- ing to place and to dedicate a simple memorial which will serve for many generations yet to come as a remmder of the heroism of the patriots who de- fended the town against the British a hundred years ago today. This may not be holy ground whereon we are gathered, but it certainly is historic, and we love to dwell upon the scenes enacted here so long ago. She was glad to see real daughters of 1812 present to connect the past with the present. After Miss Holmes removed the flag, Rev. George B, Marston placed a garland of evergreen apove the memorial. Warden Cornelius B. Crandall ac- cepted the tablet in fitting words and sald that it would always be revered and cared for by Stonington. Message from National President. Mrs. Willlam Gerry Slade, president of the National United States Dau ters of 1812 brought a m: of cor- dial appreciation from that of Connecticut. war of 1812 had she been in the habit of heart as its_a fender. 1 hear semeons say, grom daln Ward Howe, that the war not amount to much.

The car, which was de. signed and built by the Edison com pany In New Jersey, goes along “ai by its lonesome,” neither trolley wice nor third rail being needed to propal it Tt will make its headquarters at Brattleboro, where it will be charged with electric current daily. A single charge is sufficient to carry the car more than 100 miles. It will mlk‘.< trips daily from Brattleboro to Miller's Falls, it being the intention to utilize it as an adjunct to the passenger eer- vice in that section. It is the first of this type of car to be used in New England. In places where it has been tried it has proved entirely successful for short runs. It carries a crew of three, motorman, conductor and brakeman. AGREEMENTS FOR WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION Five Filed in Office of Clerk of the Superior Court.

Jeremiah J. Desmond offered a res- olution authorizing the appropriation of @ sum not to exceed 35,000 and di- recting the council to proceed with the work. When_the resolution had been sec- onded, Mr, Desmond remarked that it was a warm night to spend much time 30 the hall and he supposed the matter had been pretty thoroughly talked over and everybody knew about the conditions. If the resolutions were adopted, which he hoped would be the | case, the common council could pro- ceed with the work. What the future holds we know not, but the speaker sald he knew of other contemplated | improvements thaat would enhance the | value of the property in this section and that now was the time, if ever. to make this improvement, as it would | surely cost more later if deferred now, | This was an opportunity which we| should grasp. There were certain| tendencies that indicatzs a raise in value In that locality, and the speak- er hoped that the meeting would fa- vor this resolution and improvement When Mr. Desmond had finished, John Riley broke in with some re- marks without rising from his seat. He was rapped to ordér by the chairman. Meyer Blumenthal opposed the ap- propriation, saying that he thought we had already done cur share for Frank- lin street and he thought the poor tax- | payers .could not stand any more ex- pense. He thought some pecple would like fo have automobiles and sther things, but could not affor dthem and he did not thimk the city could af- ford this. He thought too that they ought to spend money on West Thames street. W. W.

Following an operation two weeks ago, the shock of which his conetitu- tion was unable to sustain, Charles | Courtney Haskell of 460 West Main street passed away at 12.45 o'clock Monday afternoon. He was born at Ijer Isle, Me, >n ov. 5, 1840, the son &f Mr. ‘and Mra. | Edward Haskell. For 45 years he iived there, then for three years he removel to Auburn, Me. and 40 years ago he came to make his home permanently in Norwich Twice married, Mr. Haskell's first wife was Miss Charlotte Saunders of Deer Isle, Me., who died I8 years ago. Several years later he was united in marriage with Mies Mary Alexander [ of this city, who survives him. Sur- | viving there are also eix children, Mr Evelyn Dowe of this city, W, Noyes of New York eity, | garet Haskell and Charles H. Haskell of this city, Henry S. Haskell of New York and Dr. Edward A. Haskell of | Providence. In his business life in this city M- Haskell was first connected with tne Henry Bill Publishing company and | Jater he established the C. C. Haskell | Publishing company, continuing this for 30 years, until the time of his death. Among_the ‘most important of the books issued through him was James G. Blsine's Through Twenty Years of Congress, from 1861 to 1881. In 1856, following a breakdown from overwork in connection with the publication and circulation of the volume by Blaine, 17,000 agents for which were employed at’ one time, Mr. Haskell was led to try Dr. Dewey's syste mof living sat forth in_"The True Science of Living or the New Gospel of Health.” Mr. Haskell's own well known book, Per- fect Health, How to Get It. and How to Keep It. by One Who Has It, was ublished as a direct result, Its circu- jation was wide and its dlsciples were many. Through his Gospel of Health Mr. Haskell was as well known, if not better, in New Zealand and New South Wales than in Connecticut, and as the result of his zeal the science spread in foreign lands and many wonderfu: cures there were the result. He had the honor of introducing Wu-Ting-fan, the ambassador from Chipa to the United States, to his new mode of living, and he adopted it and through him the frue science of Nving has taken hold in China. 2 s a scientific dletist and a master of auto-suggestive therapeutics he stood at the head of his profession in John A.
