W. C. T. U. Visited Johnson Home— al Programme and Recitations. One of the best of good times was arranged and carried out by members of the W. C. T. U. when fifteen or more gathered Monday afternoon at the Johnmson home making the house- hold their guests. The president, Miss H. G.

She told of the origin of this day which has been adopted by other branches of the W. C. T. U. Miss Jennie Cassidy was a shut and from her sick room sent flowers, messages and gifts to other shut-ins. This custom has since been regularly observed by the W. C. T. T. in the spirit of the originator. Mrs. A. J. Bailey gave much pleas- ure by her rendering of Dvorak’s Hu- moreske, and later Mrs - W. F. Baifley rendered in good voice the solo, My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair, and as an encore, The Sandman. The story of Sophys Sermon, or Called to Scrub and Preach, was most entertaining as read by Mrs. Starkweather. A beau- tiful poem, He Leadeth Me, In Pleas- ant Ways, Not Always, by the treas- urer, Mrs. Meade, and the singing of Blest Be the Tie That Binds closed the more formal exercises. A delicious repast of sandwiches, coffee, cookles, cheese, delicate vari- eties of cake, fancy wafers and fruit was served by Miss Cross, assisted by other members of the W C. T. U. A vote of thanks for the entertainment ‘was voiced by Mrs. Miner, Previous to the visit to the John- on home the members held a brief usiness meeting In their rooms in the Bill block, with Mizs Harriet G.

PURITY The ingredients of the food you eat and give your children should be pure and healthful beyond any question. Various food officials and pure food experts have frequentI® endorsed Royal Baking Powder as being superior to all other simi- lar preparations, and many of tha great chemists of the world, including most of those of official position, have given 2ike testimony. No other article of food had ever received such emphatic commendation for purity, strength and wholesomeness, from the most eminent authorities; as Royal Baking Powders ‘Because Royal Baking Powder adds only healthful qualities to the food is one of the reasons why it is always preferred by teach= ers of" cookery and the medical profession. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO4 New York FRAUD JS DEFENSE IN SUIT . George Florac Claims Note Was Secured From Him Under Misrepresentation by Albert T. Hoxsie of Montville— Suit is w an Note and Claim for Rent of House— Trial in Common Pleas Court. In the court of common pleas here Monday, the day was occupied with the trial of the case of Albert T. Hox- sie against George Florac. Both are of Montville, the plaintiff being the owner of about 500 acres there, from which he rented a house and barn with about 45 acres to the defendant for $76 per year. Hoxsie sues Florac for five years' rent which he claims is due and for a note of $94 with inter- est from March, 1908. Judge C. B. Waller presided at the court trial and the attorneys werve C. ‘W. Comstock for the plaintiff and Allyn L. Brown for the defendant. ‘The plaintiff was put on the stand and explained his books, showing the time that Florac and Florac’'s hired ‘man worked for Hoxsie. He was given a rigid cross examination by Attorney Brown, and at 1 o'clock the plaintiff Tested. . During the afternoon, the defendant and witnesses to support his side of the case were put on the stand. He claimed that the note was se- cured from him by fraud, as he can- not read English, and he was told by Hoxsie that the paper Florac signed in March, 1909, was only a memorandum. sie had charged against FI latter claimed credits for work om a shed, fence, repairs to roofs, and for help in haying, hoeing and weeding. He claims there is altogether a bal- ance of $431 due in his favor. The defendant’s evidence was fin- isheq during the afternoon, and Attor- ney Comstock called Mr. Hoxsie again to the stand on rebuttal. He has other rebutta] witnesses and the defendant ‘will probably have some in sur-rebut- tal before the arguments are e. Decision for Defendant. In the cese of Julian Pollock vs. Henry Kern, Judge Waller has ren- dered judgment for the defendant. In the case of Charles E. Yerrington vs. the city of Norwich, a demurrer has been sustained by the court. WATERFORD WILL BUILD ON HARTFORD ROAD. Special Town Meeting Voted to Spend State and Town Money on Work. ‘Taxpayers of Waterford in a special town meeting Monday afternoom voted to expend state and town moneys on Waterford’s part of the Hartford turn- pike. The meeting first rescinded the vote of a town meeting of 1914 which prevented outlay of Imoney on this project and then passed the vote call- ing for expending $8,000 state money and about $2,000 town money on the work. There was but one dissenting vote on the vote to rescind, and that dis- appeared when the vote to spend the money on this road was passed. The meeting was largely attended, espe- cially by people from the north end of the town, through which the turnpike runs. This ends all the difficulty that has been encountered at this end of the Hartford turnpike. The result of the meeting is good news to the New Lon- don Chamber of Commerce Hartford turnpike committee, of which George S. Goldie is chairman. OLDEST GRADUATE OF SUFFIELD INSTITUTE. Cyrus H.

WHAT PLAYGROUNDS DO. Things They Develop and Things They Diminjsh Among the Children. Seeing in the playgrounds movement a positive influence for the good of the children and through them a ben- efit to the community, the Norwich Playgrounds assofation is again tak- ing up the work for this summer and plans to enlist public interest and se- cure the needed funds through what will be done on Playgrounds day next Saturday. Popular interest and mon- ey are the two things that the play- grounds work needs to make it the success it out to be.

Justice—By teaching the child to have consideration for those who are physically and mentally ‘weaker. They Diminish Idleness—By keeping the c¢hild constantly employed at some- thing.
