PLAINFIELD Snow Makes Extra Work for Railroad Men—Church Services on Easter. When the snow began Saturday morning many thought it only an April flurry, but before many hours they were convinced it was the real thing and meant business. Several freight trains were stalled at the station— among them being the boat freight from Providence and Nos. 73 and 75 of the Norwich division. There were some minor wrecks and several trains got off the track. The evening train from Providence was an hour and a half late because of a wreck at Woon- socket. Both section forces worked all night, making very little gain, as the snow filled in as fast as it could be removed from the switches. But the saucy little electrics bobbed along on time every trip. An engine from Willi- mantic, whose whistle resembled the scream of some goblin in agony, star- tled some of the residents, who thought it a fire alarm. Easter Sunday broke gray and threatening, with drifts that made the back streets and country roads almost impassable, and the rails covered and ditches full along the railroad. The sectionmen on both sides worked all day Sunday, making the road safe for trains and opening ditch- es to prevent a flood when the sun comes out and melts. the deep drifts. The Canterbury road was not passable to teams Sunday, and Academy street wasealso badly drifted. Mrs. Samuel Whitford spenpt Good Friday with her daughter, Mrs. Walter Gladding, of Providence. Mrs. Whit- ford has also been a recent visitor in Norwich. Several have plowed their gardens. Services on Easter Day.

MEETING In Programme That Was Given After the Business Meeting. The monthly meeting of Norwich W. C. T. U. was held in their rooms in the Bill block on Monday afternoon with the president, Mrs. Harriet G. Cross, in the chair The devoticnal service was conducted by Mrs. Frank A. Foster, vice president of the Cen- tral Baptist church division of the union. The service opened with the singing of “Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me,” with Mrs. H. F. Palmer at the piano. Mrs. Foster read an appropriate scriptural selection, taken from Acts I Mrs. Daniel Brown led the prayer and another hymn was sung. The secre- tary, Mrs. H. F. Palmer, followed with her report and Treasurer Mrs. 8. Howard Mead gave her report which shows all bills paid and a substan- tial balance in the treasury. Miss Cross urged the women to have the union’s interest at heart so that they might suggest something that would interest outsiders. ©ther subjects of interest were brought up for discus- sion. Miss Cross also urged the mem- bers to attend the address to be de- livered in the First Baptist church, New London, on Friday evening at 8 o'clock by Mrs. May Harris Armor, president of the Georgia W. C. T. U. This will be the first address ever de- livered by Mrs. Armor in this state and as she is one of the foremost W. C. T. U. speakers in the country an unusually interesting meeting is ex- peted. Those of the members who will go to hear Mrs. Armor speak will leave Franklin square on the 6:45 o’clock car Friday evening. Following Miss Cross’s remarks all united in singing of the new song, “A Saloonless Nation in 1920.” Miss Cross who is the local, county and state franchise superintendent then took up the literary part of the after- noon’s programme, talking on equal franchise lines. She urged the mem- bers to take an added interest in this movement. Miss Cross then read an article which showed the effect of pro- hibition in Kansas. In 87 of her 106 counties Kansas has now no insane In 64 of these counties there are no feeble minded; 9 of her counties have no inebriates; 38 of her county poor houses are empty; 53 of her jails were recently empty and 65 counties have no prisoners in the state peni- tentiary; the entire numbr of paupers in the state falls short of 600. Some counties have not called a grand jury to try a criminal case in ten years. Only two per cent of the entire pop- ulation is illiterate and the mortali- tyjrata hasidropped from 7. perih000 to 7. It was declded to hold a free will offering meeting and Mrs. S. Howard Mead appointed Miss Cross, Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Foster as a commit- tee to make arrangements for the meeting. The collection was then taken and after a general discussion of matters of interest to the union the meeting closed in usual. There are 3,039 public schools and 817,075 pupfls in Chile. RHEUMA The Standard Remedy for All Forms of Rheumatism and Kidney Troubles. Are you suffering from some form of rheumatism? Then you need a remedy for that disease only—not a prepara- tion sald to cure all the ills of the human body. Rubbing in liniments will only quiet the pain temporarily, but will not remove the cause. Rheuma cleanses the kidneys of the polsonous uric acid secretions; opens the clogged veins so that the healthy blood can pass along the dead matter from the entire system; regulates dis- ordered bowels, and enables a sluggish liver to convert thin, impure blood into rich, life-giving corpuscles. When this is accomplished there is no more rheumatism, for the source of the dis- ease will be wiped out. Rheuma. is free from dangerous drugs. During the treatment the di- gestive organs are not deranged— Rheuma creates a _healthy appetite. Get a bottle from Lee & Osgood or any druggist. It is inexpensive. Your money returned if it falls.
