Let this stay on ten minutes, end wesh off with resinol soap and more hot water, finishing with a dash of cold water to close the pores. Do this once or twice a day, and you will be astonished to find how quickly the healing resinol medication soothes and cleanses the pores, removes pimples and biackheads, and leaves the com- plexton clear and velvety. Resinol ointment and resinol soap stop itching instantly and - specially heal skin humore, sores, burns, wounds and chafing.

The amounts pledged on Wednesda; the third day of the annual financ! campaign of the Y. M. C. A. again passed the thousand mark, for the total for the day was $1,039.50. This is a slight gain over Tuesday's result end brings the grand total to date up to $3,125.50. Team C, captained by L. M. i L. M. CRANDALL, Captain of Team C. Crandall, made a spleadid showing as far as gain was concerned, for they jumped from $112 on Tuesday to $287 on_Wednesday. The captains and members of the tedms met in the association hall at 6.30 o'clock, when their reports were heard. The following delectable menu was served by the ladies of Park church: Veal croquettes, sauce, Paris- lenne potatoes, radishes, hot rolls, cof- fee, strawberry shortcake with whip- ped cream. By request, former Secretary F. R. Starkey was heard, and there were re- marks by President Case and L. O. Smith, who is in general charge of the campaign. A vote of thanks was ex- tended Mr. Starkey for his valuable as- sistance in the campaign. Mr. Star- key, who worked with Captain Cran- Qall of Team C, put in a strenuous day on Wednesday and left for Brooklyn late Wednesday night. Mr. Starkey was chosed to express appreciation to the ladies of Park church for their services. It is realized by the teams that if they ere to reach the goal by the end of the week they must put in two more hard days, and it is hoped that their efforts will be met with ready response.

Salvatore Abruzzi, the next witness, testified that he had known Ricardino seven or eight months and on October 1, 1914, had helped the accused clean a_ well on Lewis Shapiro’s farm in Norwich. He knew that Shapiro gave Ricardino a check for $7 in payment for the work.

Three other witnesses also testified to Ricardino’s presence in Rhode Is- land. t S, Underwood, b!:ll'l:flr of :he bank, testified he remem) an in- dividual coming’ to the bank and he thought Ricardino was the man. This was at 9,30 in the morning and the man had a check already endorsed. This line of testimony was in contra- diction of that given by a previous witness, Bruckner, who. testified that Ricardino_came to the store at 1155 and that Bruckner wrote the endorse- ment on the check then at Ricardino’s request. The accused man, Who neither reads nor writes in any language, was placed on the stand and testified that he never forged the check nor knew any- thing about a forged check. He said he was mever in the places and that he never bought or owned a black hat which was the kind of hat one witness had said was worn by the man who had the forged check. REALIZED WELL FROM PRETTY LAWN FETE. Programme Effectively Carried Out by College Club at Home of Mr. and Mrs. E. J, Graham—Proceeds $68. The perfect day, the sunlight, the gay costumes with the background of sky and trees, made beautiful the lawn fete of the City College club held on Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Graham on ‘Washington street. The grounds were ample for crowds coming and going. At the rustic gate of entrance Miss Elizabeth A. Gilbert took the tick- ets. The cabbage patch under the dog- wood tree, Mrs. Wiggs presiding, with her cherry attentions, attracted many buyers. Although many of the pale green cabbages were in evidence in the crowd they kept growing rapidly in the garden. Near the cabbage patch was the fortune teller, Dr. E. S. B. Woodward, and fears as to the future were set at rest by those con- sulting her. Two brownies gay in yellow and brown uniforms guarded the bridze leading to the more ex- tensive grounds, and took toll of the passers over. ~ Under “the wisteria vine was the candy table which pre- sented a most inviting appearance with its Japanese decorations; and Miss Henrietta Bidwell, Miss Beatrice Sharpe and Miss Marion Pullen in costumes of the flowery land. Near at hand was the old well where lemonade was provisioned by Miss Mary R. Gibbs and Miss Angie Keene. It was hard to single out attractions but the folk dancers won Instant fa- vor and applause. The Swedish dance, Trallen, by eight gorls costumed in white caps, black bodices and shirts the colors of the rainbow was made more picturesque by the afternoon sunlight. The hornpipe danced by ten girls in sajlor costumes was very pret- ty. They were accompanied by Miss Sadle Colt on the piano and Miss Clementine Jordan, violinist. Most attractive during the afternoon was the music by the Girls' Mandolin club, and the solos by Mrs. W. Russell Baird and J. C, Overbaugh. After thoroughly exploring the out of door attractions no one failed to { enter the old house where decorations | of pink and green were carried out areat branches of dogwood and In the dining room under the vellow_candles afternoon tea was served by Miss Jane Bill as- sisted by Miss Melen Kelley. Cake, tea and ice cream were also served under the trees. During the afternoon twelve tables of bridge were played, the prize a Japanese fruit dish _ of wicker. being won by Mrs. BEben Learned. Gay posters had been prepared by Arthur Long and E. R. Van Hornig. General committee: Miss Louise Hoke, Mrs, E. J. Graham, Miss Jane Bill, Miss Henrietta Bidwell, Miss Gilley, Miss Faith Bonfoey. In charge of the decorations, Miss Elizabeth Huntington. Cake, Mrs. hepard B. Palmer and Mrs. Fred Newton.

M. C. A, DORMITORY Discovered Early Wednesday Morning —Put Out by Story Telling Party. Four dormitory dwellers at the Y. M. C, A. building, sitting up to a late session of story telling that ran into Wednesday morning, were the fortu- nate means of saving the building from a possible serious fire. About 1 o'clock Wednesday morning the odor of smoke was detected. Upon opening the door frdm their bedroom, the yoling men found the hall full of smoke. An alarm in the building was given and the fire was traced to a closet where papers and waste cloths were kept. The fire had made good headway, but was gotten under cofitrol very quickly, with no more serious damage than a burned door and woodwork in the closet, where it started. - A call was sent to the fire station, the chem- ical promptly responding but found lit- tle to do as the fire was practically out. ‘What started the fire in the closet is not known, "CHAS.

The executive committee of the City Beautiful association held a meeting at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in_the directors’ room at the office of the New London County Mutual Fire Insurance company, where President Walter F. Lester presided, end much enthusiasm was shown for the work which the citizens are asked to enlist in during the week of May 24 to May 29. Secretary H. W. Tibbits read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were accepted. Miss Amy Cogswell reported for the commitfee on parks and trees that she had seen the street commissioner and had learned of the various parks in town and of the system of taking care of them and also of the green at Nor- wich Town, which is somewhat in care of the Norwich Rural association. About all the care the town gives to the parks is to cut the grass. She said that the trees on Chelsea parade ere being sprayed and all trees that belong to the city will be sprayed. Next tho trees will be trimmed. At the parks and trees committee meeting last Monday evening Miss Cozswell said the general impression was that the city is pretty dirty. School children offend. in scattering things about the streets, but the Academy offended more seriously and set a bad example to the younger school children. The committee thougnt that when the rubbish cans are placed, more urgent attention be given to seeing that they were used tor the purposes for which they were meant. For the committee on schools, Mrs. Henry D. Johnson reported that they held a meeting on Wednesday morn- ing and that it was their idea to have Friday of cleanup week for the special children’s day, when the school chil- dren should be particularly impressed with the idea that they can help in the cleanup of the city. Shepard B. Palmer, chairman of the ccmmittee on_ streets, was called out own, but had sent word that the new rubbish cans which had been au- thort d had been ordered. John J. . membership committee chair- was also aebsent, but had sent man, word of his interest and desire to co- operate in anything that was done. Henry W. Tibbits for the publicity committee reported that the three theatres had very courteously agreed to give publicity through the slides to be shown and that the Auditorium and the Colonial were already showing the slides and the Davis would do so at once. Window cards have been placed calling attention to the cleanup week and letters had been sent to the may- or, both from the chairman of the City Beautiful association and from the Board of Trade, asking that the proper action should be taken to put Rose place and the municipal dock in a more complete and finished and presentable appearance. The mayor had replied that he was interested in this and hoped to be able to bring something to_pass there. Miss Cogswell brought up the matter of a town appropriation that had been made for laying a granolithic walk at the Cheisea parade. She pointed out how the method of improvement used in Sachem street in laying new walks and paving the street had resulted in the death of all the fine trees and said she feared such would be the result at Chelsea parade unless right methods were used. L. O. Smith, who had been out of town much of the time since the last meeting, reported that his committee had its attention upon the work that came before the committee on -signs, awnings and billboards. There was a suggestion that the troops of Boy Scouts might be enlisted in the cleanup work, possibly having special sections, like parks, placed in charge of particular troops. It was voted to recommend to the committee on trees and parks that they try the plan of asking some com- pany of Boy Scouts to take charge of certain places, like the Little Plain and other places, to keep them free from papers and rubbish. In the discussion during the meeting it was brought out that the park at the Little Plain seemed to be a place that particularly end continuously of- fended the eve by the accumulation of papers, school children’s lunch refuse, cigarette boxes and other things that can be seen there at most any time. It was also mentioned that the 26th regiment monument is also used more or less as a’ place for children to sit on and it was suggested that a bar- berry hedge might be placed around it that would keep them off the monu- ment. The meeting adjourned after a ses- sion of a little over an hour. AT DAVIS THEATRE. Vaudeville and Photoplays. In the change of bill at the Davis theatre on Wednesday, Mike Sacks and his company produced Izzy the Tallor for the sketch which made an attractive part of the bill.

X KING’S DAUGHTERS HOLD - : 12TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Circles From Three Counties Repre- sented at Meeting at Second Congre- gational Church. . ‘With an attendance of 103, the 12th annual conference of the Kings Daughters .of New London, Windham and Tolland counties was held at the Ww Congregational church - on noon was o minutes of the last meeking and her report was accepted. President’s Annual Report. The mo: session was largely taken up by the report of the brost. dent, Mrs. George H. Prior. It review- ed the work of the three counties end was heard with much ‘interest by all. In her report Mrs. Prior said that on May 1, 1915, there were 25 cir- cleg in New London and Windham counties with an aggregate of 712. One new circle was formed in No- vember, 1914. It is the Circle ot Happy Days_of Colchester, composed of 10 young ladies, some of whom are summer residents of that town, Their beautiful name was given them by our international president, Mrs. Evans, Who is a personal friend of their lead- er, Miss Day. Of courst the largest membership is that of the Home Chapter, which now has 104 members, but has 120 for its aim. The next in size is St. James circle of New London with 64 members. This circle may be large but it is noe cumbersome for their dues were sent in Dec. 29 the first to respond to the call. The smallest cir- cle 1s the baby of our family, the Cir- cle of Fappy Days, with a member- ship of 10. Aside from the two large gircles, the avarage circle membership s 22, Fifty coples of the Silver Cross are taken, four circles not reporting any subscriptions. Heartsease circle, Norwich, has made the greatest per cent, gain for it has doubled its membership," Those of you who are superstitious may be relieved to know that 13 is not an unlucky number, for Mizpah circle, Putnam, number 13. Organized 19 years ago they are scattered through six different cities—all in Massachu- setts, except the leader who lives' in Putnam. The leader wrote me that she is handicapped with total deaf- ness and I have learned also that her eyes are in bad condition. The circle meets only once a year, yet they have raised and sent away over $20 for be- nevolence during the past year and made Innumerable garments. They also have six subscriptions to The Sil- ver Cross. It is mot my purpose to laud any circle in my report, but I have been greatly impressed by the amount of work Mizpah circle has done while laboring under apparently unsurmountable obstacles. That cir- cle certainly possesses a vital germ which 18 hard to Kill. $3,4009.47 Raised in Year. The amount of money raised by the 25 circles during the past year is $3,- 409.T4 and they have expended $3,- 164.14. This does not in any way rep- resent the usefulness of the circles because many of the kind deeds which have been done are beyond more money value, Money cannot buy love or_sympath The earnings of one circle should receive sy ¥ The Earnes Workers of East Tmospson were well named, for they have buflt themselves a home for which they have raised this year $1780.86. This circle passed its 25th birthday last March, but while it is an old circle (as circles go) it does not show any signs of decrepi- tude. Let us compate the membership and number of circles with the rec- ord given at the state convention in October, 1914. Then there were 28 circles ‘compared with 25 now, with 751 members to a present member- ship of 712. Four Circles Disbanded. This decrease is due to the fact that four of our circles have disbanded during the past year. They are: Help- ers of New London, Sophy Weitzel of Norwich, Friendship of Talcottville, Silver Links of Jewett City. Our one circle zained has not made up for the 1 loss of these other circles. Several circles have been saddened by the death of beloved members:— Friendship, New London, Mrs. Maud Esggleton; Trusting. Willimantic, Mrs. Mary A. Collens, Mrs. Frances Elliott; Ever Ready, Norwich, Mrs. Joseph Frazier; Home chapter, Mrs. Thomas Phillips, Mrs. S. S. Stocking, Mrs. Mel- vin Gross, Mrs. Charlotte Kinney; Cheerful Doers, Central Village, Mrs. Jane E, ishop, Mrs. Newton: St. James, New London, Mrs. Billings P. Learne Class, Norwich, Mrs. Welles Haughton, Mrs. Elizabeth Ran- dall; Prayer, Willimantic, Mrs. Lester Weeks; Burden Bearers, Putnam, Mrs. Justin Greene. Norwich, Jewett City and perhaps Yew London are well supplied with circles and the smaller towns where there is one circle do not need to have the work overdone. But Tolland county is entirely without the order unless there are a few Independent members there. Is there not oppor- tunity for work like ours in such towns as Stafford Springs, Rockville, the Mansfields and the Willingtons, Hop River and Andover? There are no circles. between Central Village and Putnam in Windham county, with the Grosvenordales at the north as fruitful territory and many small towns in the west of the county. Be- tween New London and Pawcatuck there are no circles and none be- tween Norwich and Willimantic. Junior work in the three counties has not been a conspicious success in the past. There is always that very difficuit task of providing a suitable leader. A plan which has unconscious- ly worked out in some circles seems a g00d one to me. We see and hear so much of father and son banquets and’ meetings. Where are the moth- ers and daughters? Can we not have a mother and daughter movement in our circles? Miss Ellen Geer of Norwich, Miss Bill of Willimantic and Miss Day of Colchester were appointed members of the credentials committee, Mrs. George T. Lord then rendered a pleasing &olo, The Ninety and Nine (Champion), and the reports of the circles followed. Charitable circle was the first to report, the average attend- ance at.its meetings was 10. The pres- ent membership was given as 23, two new members having been admitted during the year. Although they had no special re- port to make Happy Days circle of Colchester, formed last fall, have en- tered into’the work with enthusiasm. Class circle of Norwich has 30 mem- bers, 10 of this number being active. The Cheerful Doers of Central Village reported 15 meetings held. They have added two members, bringing their to- tal up to 27. The CIIff. Dwellers re- ported no meetings. Mizpah. circle of Putnam reported having contributed to “TIZ” FOR TIRED AND SORE FEET “TiZ” FOR PUFFED-UP, BURNING, ACHING, CALLOUSED FEET AND CORNS. ‘Why - go limping around with ach- ing, puffed-up fest—feet so tired, chafed, sore and swollen you can hard- Iy get your shoes on or off? Why don’t you get a 25-cent box of “TIZ" from the drug store now and gladden your tortured feet? “TIZ" “makes your feet glow with comfort: takes down swellings and draws the soreness and misery right out of feet that chafe, smart and burn. “TIZ" instantly stops pain in corns.callouses and bunions. “TIZ” is glorious for tired, aching, sore feet. No more shoe tightness—no more foot torture. —_— followed the reports with an interest- ing address on The Beauty of Giving. She opened her talk by giving her ex- perience of the best way of getting new members. “Have a 25th anniver- sary,” she said, “and you will readily see ‘members come to your circles.” Give what we have and the best we have, was the theme of her tali and in conclusion she said it is not money alone that you must give, but your time. She related how she had passed an afternoon with two elderly ladles, who felt that she had given them a great deal. Love is the motive for glv- ng. Discussion on “Why and How.” The subject of Why and How was treated as follows: The Bible, Mrs. A. M. Clarke, Jewett City; .The Siiver Cross, Miss Eva L. Hudson, New Lon- don; 'The Literature of Our Order, Miss Ida J. Lyon, state treasurer. After the singing of a_hymn, lunch- eon was served in the Sunday school room. In the Afternoon. Miss Eaton conducted the devotional exercises at the afternoon session, and other class reports were presented. Nelson T. Crowell entertained with a finely rendered vocal selection. Mrs, W. H. Dawley, State President. Mrs. W. H. Dawley, state president, gave an inspiring address on the sub- ject Here and There in Our Branch. Mrs. E. H. Lillibridge of Central Vil- lage spoke on Why and How in the Junior Work. Mrs. Anton Nelson of this city discussed the topic On De- veloping Our Order. Wearing Our Badge, was the topic assigned Mrs. E. H, Hiscox of Jewett City. Committee Reports, The various committees presented their and resolutions were adopted. The conference adjourned a few min- utes after 3 o'clock. Librarians Will Meet.

You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. Thanks to a remarkable new sclen- tific _discovery, it is now possible to combine into simple form the very ele- ments needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This masterstroke of modern chemistry is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh- The trouble buflders. Sargol aims through its re- generative, reconstructive owers to coax the stomach and intestines to lit. erally soak up the fattening element: of your food and pass them 100d, where they are carried to every starved, broken-down cell and tissue of your body. You can readily picture the result when this amazing transforma- tlon has taken place and you notice how your cheeks fill out, hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disappear and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is abso- lutely harmless inexpensive, sfficient. Lee & Osgood, Chesbro’s drug store, and other leading drugsists of Nor- wich and Willimantic and _vicinity, have it and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guarantee found in every package. Caution:—While Sargol has given ex- gellent-ra-nl;. in ovlen:omln nervous psia and general stomach troubles it should mot b taken by those whe da not wish to gain ten pounds or more. to Canada by his brother who has lo- cated in Canada.
