Will Not Participate in War. As far as can be ascertained no subjects of and of the governments engaged in the general European war resident in Danielson have any inten- tion to respond to the call for re- servists, though several here have re- ceived such calls. Count Edouard Sargent, formerly an officer in the French army and for many years a resident here, is anxious for service at the front, but he has passed the age limit, so probably will not have any part in the stupendous cenflict.

Byrne, who has been treasurer of the Windham County Savings bank here since October 6 last, when the institution reopened for business after being closed for a period of 14 months, will resign his present position to ac- cept one that will bring him: o a larg- er institution, one in which he gain- ed the rudiments of his banking ex- perience and one that is located in his home town where no man has greater honor or a larger number of friends. As treasurer of the local bank Mr. Byrne has accomplished much dur- ing his brief geriod of service for the bank and it was with a great deal of regret, though with full appreciation that it is for his advantage to do so, they will accept his resignation, which will be forthcoming within a few days. The departure of Mr. Byrne will necessitate the securing of anoth- er treasurer for the Windham Coun- ty Savings bank, TO OPEN BIDS.

AUGU Hea Sickness and Migery Result From Bowels In Hot Weather. People advancing in years should be very careful of their health during theé hot months as heat has a very enervating and weakening effect on them. One has only to look at the dafly list of fatalities to elderly peo- ple Teported by the papers to realize that these are the hardest months for them to overcome. The ul‘:lyfl:lh‘lt:‘i foods should b; eaten, and then only sparingly, an alcoholic beverages and iced things should be avoided as much as possible Exercise should be taken daily in the shade. Most important of all in the maintenance of health and vigor at this time is to avoid constipation, with its accompanying headaches and mus- cular and blood congestion. This is accomplished by the timely use of a gentle laxative like Dr. Caldwell Syrup Pepsin. It is the ideal laxa- tive for elderly people, as it is mild, tastes pleasant and does not gripe. Best f all, it contains valuable tonic properties that build up and strength- en the system. * Elderly people should avold strong physics. cathartics, purgatives, salts and pills, as they are a shock to the system.

Changes Made in Official Board of Putnam Savings Bank—Daniel J. _ Byrne Chosen Treasurer. Resulis desired by the bank com- missioners were achieved Monday aft- erncon, when at a meeting of the cor- Dporators of the Putnam Savings bank chariges in the official board of the in- stitution were brought about that it is expected will mean much toward expediting the reopening of the insittution, thought no date for the resumption of business in the usual way has been set. John M. Paine of Woodstock, who has been president of the bank for a number of years is succeeded in the office by Chester E. Child of this city. Mr. Paine was not a candidate for re-election either as a trustee or as president, he having requested that his name not be used. Frank G. Letters, who has been a trustee of the bank for several yeary, was elected vice president, succeeding Benjamin Grosverior of Pomfret. who was not a candidate for re-election. Most Important Chance, The most important change effected in the official board at the meeting, Lowever, was the election of Daniel J. Byrne of this city, now treasurer of the Windham County Savings bank at Danielson, as treasurer to succeed Jerome Tourtellotte, who has been treasurer of the local bahk since farch 1, 1880, and who shawed con- iderable strensth in the balloting for the office at the meeting. It is under- stood that the vote was 15 to 8 in fa- vor of Mr. Byrne. Auditors elected at the meeting were. Charles H. Brown and H. J. Thayer, New Board of Trustees, Other and important changes are results of the meeting as indicated by the makeup of the new board of trusetts, which is as follows: Jerome Tourtellotte, Edward Mullan, Lebbeus E. Smith, Chester E. Child, Frank G. Letters, Edgar M. Wheatos, Charles M. Fenner, John Ash, John G. Johnson, George D! Clarke, Ernest B. Kent, George E. Brosseau, Henry T. Child, John P. Grosvenor, Melancthon Riddick Of this board the only former trustees are Messrs, Tourtellotte, Letters, Fen- Messers, Child and Gros- been corporators, the lat- ter succeeding his father as a member of the board of trustees. The others are new trustees, all of them having been elected as corporators a few weeks ago, following a suggestion of a list of names by the bank commission- ers, and since their election gualified as such. Loan Committes Chosen. At a meeting of thetrustees following the meeting of the corporators a new loan committee was elected as fol- lows: Chester E. Child, Daniel J. Byrne, Lebbeus E. Smith. It was said on very reliable authori- ty Monday afternoon that the changes made will be very pleasing to the bank commissioners. While it is not prob- able that the bank will reopen at once the new board can and will, it is un- derstood, formulate its policy, which it was €aid by a member of the new hoard of trustees will be constructive and intended to make the institution of the greatest service to the com- munities it serves in the matter of properly made loans and in other ways. “Fhe bank has from $150,000 to 317 000 available for loans at the present time and it is said that the inteation is to make arrangements if possible to here and traveled south with them to Norwich and New London.
