She knows already that Peruna is a great remedy for her many ailments. But there are many women who do not know what a valu- able remedy Peruna is. Ca- tarrhal complaints of any sort, whether of the head or the ifn- ternal organs, yield to Peruna if taken regularly. Mrs. L. A, Patterson, 238 Utah Ave, Memphis, Tenn, is one who knows. “I have been a friend of Peruna many years. We always recommend it to our neighbors.” Mrs. L.

Woodworth, of Bean Hill, a Suicide, After Shooting at His Daughter’s Caller—Found Shortly Afterward Hanging From Railroad Trestle Over Otrobando Road. The dead body of Albert E. Wood- worth, who lived at No. 224 West Town streety Bean Hill Norwich Town, was found Wednesday evening about 10.50 o'clock hanging from the Central Vermont railroad trestle over the Otrobando road just west of twe so-called quarterbridge. rly in the evening he had fired twice through the window of his home at Jeremiah Sullivan, of Fitchville, who was call- ing vpon one of Mr. Woodworth's daughters. Mr. Woodworth objected to the caller and had procured a double barrelled shot gun firing both barrels from a position outside the house. Both missed and then Mr. Woodworth went away while a_tele- phone call for protection was sent in to Norwich police headquarters. Cap- tain D. J. Twomey notified Consta- ble Timothy J. Fields at Norwich Town and the constable went to the Woodworth home. When he reached there he was told that Mr. Wood- worth had gone out into the shed, but the constable could not find him there. While he was looking for him, some boys arrived with the word that Mr. Woodworth's body had_been found hanging ta the railroad bridge trestle. The body hung from the trestle over the roadbed and a little to one side of the center of the road, and was first seen by William Stelzner, who was on his way to his home near by the rail- road bridge. He caught sight of the shadowy form in the dark and upon investigating found it to be the body of Woodworth. Dr. Rush W. Kimball, medical ex- aminer, was notified and visited the spot soon after the body was found. From his investigation he concluded that the suicide had been done with considerable deliberation. The rope that had been used Nad been fastened around a tie and apparently Mr. Wood- worth had let himself down carefully from the bridge and the body swung about two and a half feet Off the ground. His cap on his head and his glasses were undisturbed, as .would probably not have been the case had he jumped from the trestle after fast- ening the rope around his neck. The body was cold when found. Undertaker Gager was given permis- sion to remove the body to the morgue at his undertaking rooms on Frank- lin street. Mr. Woodworth had lived for the last seven or eight years at Bean Hill. He did general work and also traded in skins, traveling all around this sec- tion and buying the skins from trap- pers. He is survived by his wife, four sons and four daughters. AUTOS FOR PARADE TO OPEN MERCHANTS' WEEK. Committee Anxious to Secure Many As Possible. About 60 machines have Deen se- cured by the committee in charge of the automobile parade to be held on Saturday.- the opening day of Mer- chants’ week, and it is hoped that many more will be secured before the time of the parade. As it is impossible to obtain a_com- plete list of automobile owners in the town it is quite probable that a num- ber will be overlooked unavoidably by the committee. A request has been made that those who would like to contribute the use of their machines communicate with the committeemen. Owners are generally showing a very ‘generous disposition to place the use of their machines in the bands of the committee. The automobiles will call at the various schools to pick up their loads of children and the route to be followed will take the machines through the city, to Norwich Town and also to Greeneville. Those on the committee are W. Russel Baird, chairman, Edward W. Jewett, William E. Perry, William F, Hill and Richard L. Tarrant. GOLDEN WEDDING DAY.

About four hundred quarts of milk were spilled on Broadway Wednesday morning about 7 o'clock, gwhen a pair of horses attached to a milk wagon owned by George Avery of Franklin ran away, overturning the wagon. The horses had been left standing in front of the residence of Joseph Hall on Broad street, and while the driver was delivering milk the horses started off at a walk. Going down the grade the weight of the wagon came upon the horses, causing them to quicken their gait, which soon became a run. It was while turning into Broadway towards the north that the wagon was upset, smashing the milk bottles and spilling the milk into the street. The horses continued on to Norwich Town, where they were stopped. They were driven back to the scene of the over- turning, ,and rehitched to the wagon. Mr. Avery brought another supply of milk to the city in order to take care of his customers. The wagon was little damaged, but about 50 milk bot- tles were broken.

Capt, A B. Nickerson, chief of in- spectors in Providence, was on Wed- nesday placed on the pension roll of the police department at his own Te- quest. His retirement from the force after 34 years of continuous service will take effect on May 2, at which time his successor will be named. This announcement_was made by the board of nolice commissioners at 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon follow- ing a conference lasting some _time between the board and Captain Nick- erson, who has been the chief figure for the pas Ve veeks in the star chamber investigation the board been conducting into the loss of a portion of the money which was stolen from the Kinsley building early last winter. The money was part of what was found on the band of six yeggmen, who were caught at New London last fali after they had fled from Provi- dence in an automobile. The New London police were waiting for them as they came across the Thames river on the ferry boat from Groton. This _conference continued until about 12.40 .o'clock, when Captain Nickerson left the commissioners’ of- fice for his own office and shortly aft- erwards he put on his hat and coat and left the building. As was promised by the board yes- terda; a statement was then issued explaining the ending of the investi- gation. None of the comm would comment further upon it. The statement is as follows: “After due consideration of the in- formation_obtained by our investiga- tion, the board of police commission- ers is unanimous {n the folloying con- clusions: That substantially the same amount of money was received by Capt. Nick- erson as receipted for by Inspector Ahern at New London. That a considerable sum had been taken from this amount by someone, while in the custody of the inspector's department, “That we have no proof that any member or employe of the department took_this_money. “That Capt. Nickerson was neglect- ful of his duty in not counting the money received by him until the 34 or more days after he received it. “That Capt. Nickerson's excuse for not counting the money earlier, name- Iy, pressure of business, is unreason- able and untenable. “That he was also neglectful of his duty in not making affidavit of the property in his possession, taken from the® robbers, required by ‘the city so- licitor’s_department, until Dec. 1, or later. Capt. Nickerson’s excuse, pres- sure of business, is untenable. “That the board fully appreciates the 34 years of service rendered by Capt. Nickerson, and at his request has accepted his application to be placed on the pension roll of the de- partment to take effect. May 2, 1915, at 8 a m” AT DAVIS THEATRE. Vaudeville and Photoplays.

They place a large bunch of bananas in the way of the gorilla, ‘which, seizes them with both hands and lets the baby drop. Had the baby been one of its own kind it would have clung to its nurse. But, being a hu- man baby, it naturally falls, so that the rescuers can drive away the ani- mal and carry off their prize. No Trained Nurse. Mrs. Finnicki (entering kitchen with newspaper)—“Norah, a celebrated doc- tor says that brooms are full of mi- crobes, so hereafter you'll have to give yor broom an antiseptic bath every day.” Norah—"Shure Oi'll not! Next thing ye’ll be askin’ me to give it mas- sage thratements and hippydermic in- jictions, an’ ye may as well under- stand right mow that Oi'm no thrained nurse.” A Comfort. ‘A certain poor woman had received some new underclothes from one who had helped the family. The woman’s husband thanked the donor’s husband, and a whole drama of humble ambi- tions might be built round his words. “Mary’s mighty glad to have those clothes,” he said. “She says now she’ll have something to hang out on the line Mondays."—Boston Record. “Dixie” Popular With AIl “Dixie,” sung originally as a “walk at a Broadway minstrel show, became an inspiring southern battle song, then spread throughoul the whole country and took its place among its national airs, It was played and sung with equal zest by both the blue and gray in the Spanish war.

LEONHARDT'S INTERNAL PILE REMEDY HAS SUCCEED- ED REMARKABLY Dr. Leonhardt’s Hem-Roid has been tested in several thousand cases, and was successful in all but two per cent. Hem-Roid's wonderful record is due to the fact that it is an internal rem_ edy. The cause of piles is internal, and it is too. much to expect to cure piles with ointments, suppositories or operations. Hem-Roid reaches the in- ternal cause.

There can be no con-: viction (or mental conclusion) without the intellect.
