Distributors JEWETT CITY Death of Mrs. Dennis Barnett, a Na- tive of Norwich—Authorities to En- force Muzzle Law. Mrs. Dennis Barnett died at her home on Main street just before mid- night Wednesday, after an illness with a complication of diseases lasting over a period of several years, pernicious anaemia at last causing her death. Mrs, Barnett, before her marriage Hannah Marie Finn, was born in Nor- wich, March 16, 1864, the daughter of Daniel and Hannah (Cavanaugh) Finn. ‘When she was a young girl the family moved to Jewett City, Miss Finn, after being educated in the public schools, was graduated from the Business College in Wor- cester, after which she tooj charge of the bookkeeping in the Finn Bros. store, and was later assistant post- master for her brother, the late James H. Finn, serving in a llke capacity for the late A C. Ladd. Dennis_Barnett and M married Nov. 15, 1892 by the late Rev. F. P. O'Keefe, rector of St Mary's church of this place. Few women are called upon in their home lives to meet the demands for as much forti- tude and physical energy as was Mrs. Barnett. During the last illness and death of her mother and brother she was not only a devoted daughter and sister, but was everything else that any woman could be.” Her oldest son, James, was drowned in July, 1888, as a result of which she was prostrated for weeks. No one ever went to Mrs. Barnett for counsel or sympathy who failed to recelve the best she had to give. She was the mother of a large family and is survived by her hushand and four children, Katherine L., Alice M., John F. and Thomas L. Barnett, and a brother, Daniel F. Finn. _ She was a member of the N E. O. P. and the Degree of Honor. The 1la year of her life was a ceaseless fight with disease, in which her heroism was remarked by all who knew her. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and the four children who are left.

AQ Grand Lodge Convocation. R. Burdick recorder of the local order A O. U W, is in New Haven attending a specml communication of the grand lodge. Muzzle Law to Be Strictly Enforced. The people of the town are more or less agitated about local mad dog con- ditions, inasmuch as there are a few who are disregarding the orders of the commissioner. Several unmuzzled dogs were seen Thursday. As will be seen by a legal notice elsewhere in this paper, stringent measures are to be adopted at once. The law says that dogs shall be se- curely muzzled, every attempt being made by most dog owners to carry out the strict letter of the law: not- withstanding, two were seen with their muzzles hanging about their necks. In such a case the intent was evident. Such dogs will probably not be shot as it is not the purpose of the warden to be arbitrary in the matter, but the public is demanding enforcement of the law. Voluntown Dog Warden Alert. Stephen B. Sweet, dog warden of the town of Voluntown telephoned to A. A Phillips, warden of this town, that he was anxious to cooperate in every possible way with Griswold of- ficials.

Dermatologist Gives Complexion Secret “The great secret of keepng the face young is to keep off the dead cuticle,” Dr. J. Mortimer Mitchell. ‘It is Well known that the surface skin iz constantly dying, falllne off in imper- ceptible particles, except in some dis- eased conditions, when the same appear like dandruff. But the particles do not all dr()p off immediately they die, being held for a while by the live skin. “To have the dermatological surgeon peel off the entire outer skin at one time is a painful and expensive opera- tion. The same result is obtained by applying ordinary mercolized wax, a@ you would cold cream, allowing this to remain on over night, then taking It off with warm water. One ounce usually suffices. The process is both painless and inexpensive. The wax, which ig procurable at your drug store, hastens the natural shedding process. t grad- ually absorbs the dead and half-dead skin, revealing the new, healthy, youth- ful looking skin underneath.” Attractive Short Sea Trips \ 2L m— A LI for Spring Vacations 666 miles of all.water travel, incleding mealsand stateroom berth,also including 14 days accommodations at the famous e on Camels!
