Prince at Windham County National Bank. At the regular weekly meeting of the directors of the Windham County Na- tional bank Monday morning Francis E Storer, whose home is in West Rox- bury, Mass., was elected cashier of the hank to succeed Nathan Dyer Prince, Wwho several weeks ago was elected a vice president of the Connecticut Trust ard Safe Deposit company of Hartford. The new cashier is expected here this week and will take up his duties upon his arrival, Mr. Prince remaining with him until about May 1. The resigna- tion of Mr. Prince as cashier has no effect upon his other connections with the bank, of which he will remain vice president. Mr. Storer comes to the local bank from the Natlona] Shawmut bank of Boston, one of the great financial in- stitutions of the east. Mr. Storer, who has been with the institution for the past 15 years, has been the head of its aralysis department. His studies were made at Dean academy, Franklin, Mass. He is married and has three children. Throughout his connection with the National Shawmut bank Mr. Storer has shown exceptional aptitude for finan- cial matters and has advanced rapidly, leaving the institutian to eome here at 30_years of age as a department head.

Make This Pleasant Cough and Cold Remedy Yourself * Here’s the recipe: Into a pitcher put a tablespoonful of butter, one-quarter cup light brown sugar, an ounce of fresh, whole allspice and a pint of Duffy’s pure malt whiskey. Let it stand for half an hour; then add one-half pint boiling water. Let it stand again for ashort while, and before serving stir well and add the juice of one orange and one lemon. Thisisto be served ina wine glass. It is very wholesome, appetizing and strengthening, especially for fever and chills in stormy and blustering weather. Prompt action on such occasions will ward off many a serious and oft-times fatal at- tack of bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as irritating coughs and colds, District_school on_account of scarlet fever. This was done March 17 and the building was thoroughly fumigat- ed a few days later. The pupils from the Windham County Children’s Home, who had been quarantined and away from school because of an epidemic of scarlet fever since Oct. 1, had been re- admitteq to school March 1. They had been at school only two and one- half days when I closed the building again, as indicated above. The new case is one of the Home children, who had not, however, been at the Home during the epidemic. She evidently had the disease the last day she was at school. which led me to take the prompt_action which I have reported. Two other children, who had been liv- mg in the same family with this girl, have also contracted the disease and all are being cared for at the Chil- dren’s home. This will necessitate the absence from school of all children at the Home until the quarantine is removed. Two children in another family in this district are also in quar- antine because of scarlet fever. This will leave only 10 pupils to report for work, if no new cases of scarlet fever develop in the district, when schools open for the new term April 12, I have also to report that four o five cases of aiphtheria have appeared among the pupils of the lower grades at the Israel Putnam school. I hope that the vacation of next week may check any further spread of this dis- ease. A Parents’ Night was held at the High School March 26, which proved to be, in all respects, very enjoyable and successful. There was a very large attendance of parents and friends of the school.
