WESTERLY MANAGER SEEKS REDRESS Musical Comedy Company Offered Better Terms by Rival House and Breaks Agreement—Harry B. Joy President of Lincoln Highway Commission—Local Laconics. Althought many who entertain in play fouses have ubiquitous tendencles they have not vet been able to play that part successfully, therefore the announcement that the Marcus Musi- cal Comedy company were to hold forth in the Bliven Opera house in Westerly and the Central theatre in Pawcatuck, at the same hours was somewhat puzzling. This _company flled a week's ensagement at the Biiven last week, and as early as Thursday it was publicly announced that the company was to continue at the same place during the present week. The playing was on & percen- tage basis last weck and the same pian was to prevail during the present week agreement to that effect hav- ng been entered into between Man- gers Marcu and Manager Kelly of the Bliven. Another Norwich Case It Proves That There's a. Way Out for Many Suffering Norwich Folks. Just another report of & case in Norwich. Another typical case. Kid- ney ailments relived in Norwich with Doar’s Kidney Pills. Mrs. Roland Ockery, 262 Franklin St, Norwieh, says: “Pains in the emall of my back caused me great suffering. Whenever I stooped, sharp twinges darted through my body and I was handicapped in doing my house- work. I felt miserable when I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from N. D. Sevin & Son's Drug Store. Their good effect was soon noticeable and I continued taking them until the trouble was removed.” NO MORE TROUBLE. Some years later Mrs. Ockery sald: *You may continue to publish my former statement praising Doan’s K1d- pey Pills. They cured me of kidney trouble and 1 have been in good health since. Others of my family have taken this remdy with good re- sults” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy — get Doan's Kidney Pills — the same that Mrs. Ockerey had.

FRANKLIX, It is said that Manager Smith of the Central offered Marcus a lump sum of $350 for two performances daily for ‘the present week, and the offer was favorably recelved Manager Kelly was given oportunity to meet the offer of Manager Smith, but declin- ed on the ground that Manager Mar- cus had voluntarily agreed to have his company show at the Bliven on the same percentage basis as last week. When Marcus accepted the of- fer of Smith, Kelly immediately took legal steps to hold Marcns to his agree- ment. He soon found, however, that the memmebs of the company were the individual owners of most of _their stage outfit, and that the wardrobe trunks owned by the company had been removed from the opera house. Mr. Kelly secured the services of Attorney John J. Dunn on the hope of holding Marcus to his agreement and to prevent the company from appear- ing in a rival play house. It was ascertained that the Marcus company had no property to attack in a suit that was worth while, and the play- ers intend to entertain in the oppo- sition house during the present weelk. In the meantime effort will be made to fing some reparation for the loss sustained by Manager Kelly. Harry B. Joy, of Detroit, who has spent more summers at Watch Hill than ony other cottager, is president of the Packard Motor company, and naturally has the very best automo- bile that his factory produces. There- fore his automobile attracts at- tention and even a small upright plate abont an inch high and half an inch wide on the radiator cap was noticed. This plate was striped red, white and blue, with the letter L in blue on the White stripe. It was also noticed that the chauffeur wore a button in the left lapel of his coat of like de- sign. Upun inquiry it was learned that the liitle insignia on the radiator cap. as well as the button, was the design adopted by the Lincoln High- way commissicn, of which Mr. Joy is_the president. It is planned to build the Lincoln highway to the Pacific coast as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, the work to be done wholly by popular subscriptions and donation of labor. The plan and route for the highway has been accepted-and the work com- menced and in the west there is in- tense interest in the project, where days are devoted to road building by whole communities along the proposed route. Already there is a substantial cash nucleous and the promotors have no doubt of the success of the great movement. Along sections of the route the emblems of the association is painted on telephone poles and oth- er available places, and of regulation size, the red and blue stripes being three inches in width, while the white stripe with lettre L in blue is fifteen inches in width. Mr. Joy has been coming to Wester- ly for so many years that he is well- known by nearly all the residents. As a boy he came to the old Larkin house with his parents, and had among his playmates at the hill, those gray-hair- ed men of today, Frank Larkin, James Babeock, Wayland Larikin and Emelus Harvey.

During the hot months mothers should look very carefully to the con- dition of the bowels of babies and young children, and, for that matter, it is very important in the lives of people at all ages. Care should be taken that the water is pure, the milk wholesome and the fruit ripe (though not over-ripe), and that not too much of anything is eaten. When trouble results it is usuall in the form of constipation or of dlarrhoea. If the child loses appetite, is fretful or languld, and complains of headache, you may look for con- stipation. Give it a small dose of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, ang by morning this pleasant laxative will have acted and the child will be its normal self again, At the first sign of a summer cold also give Syrup Pepsin, as the clean- ing out of the bowels will usually be sufficient to break the cold. Summer diarrhoea can be stopped in the same way by ridding the bowels of the pois- ons and germs that cause the trouble. This opinion of the value of Syrup Pepsin is shared by thousands of people like Mrs. Ella Denzel, 124 Nichols ~ Ave., Stratford, Conn. who uses it successfully herself and gives Watch Your Baby These Summer Days it to her two little boys, and Mrs. C. C. Allen of New Monterey, Cal., who finds it in every particular just what she and her family need. Avoid giving children cathartics, purgatives, pills or powders, as they, are too harsh. Confine yourself fo a gentls laxative-tonic_like Dr. Cald- well's Syrup Pepsin. You can obtain it of any druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter being the family size, Femilies wishing to try a free sam- ple bottle can obtain it, postpaid, by addressing Dr. W.

STONINGTON To Circulate School Report in Pam- phlet Form—Sunday School Picnics This Week—Other Notes. It has been decided to have the re- port of the special investigation com- mittee, appointed some time ago to look into the management of school affairs, printed in pamphlet form for distribution. The report may soon be obtained at all newsdealers in town and to defray the expense of printing a nominal charge of five cents will be made per copy. Enough of the copies will be printed to meet the demand and the work is calculated to furnish tp those who could not attend the re- cent town meeting, where the com- mittee's report was submitted, an Op- portumity to peruse the document at lefsure. ~ The report is recognized as belng about as interestihig as anything relating to town affairs that has trans- pired in a long time and the decision to_print it for distribution is the re- sult of repeated requests for informa- tion in the matter. The printing of the report in this form will save the committee considerable trouble in an- swering questions. The pamphlet will ulso_contain the resolutions adopted at_the recent meeting. Information on the result of the mo- ons adopted at the special meeting i looked forward to with considerable interest all through the town. Dr. Perry has been away for several weeks and 1s expected to return soon. There are several teachers who were recom- mended to be engaged for the ensuing year, and one, the principal of the Droadway school in Mystic. whose resignation it had not already been tendered. These matters will all be included in the pamphlet containing the commit- tee's report. It Is expected that the regular town _echool committee is prepared to take action in these mat- ters between now and_the time for opening of school. This will prob- Ably be the day after Labor day. lce Melting Rapidly. Icemen here say that the damp, sultry weather of the last several days has had a serious effect on their sup- ply of ice.
