Four thcusand fingeriing trout were received at Pomfret station Thursday morning from the state hatchery and distributed in five different brooks in this section.

Nineteeln more cans are due the local men who applied, but whether these will be recetved this fall cannot be determined as vet, for it is possible that there will not be sufficient fingerlings to supply all the persons who have applied from aif- ferent parts of the state.

When you waké up with backache and dull ‘misery in. the kidney region it generally means you have been eat- ing too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms urie acid which overworks the kidneys In_their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug- gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; remov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, Qizzy spells; your stomach sours, ton- gue is coated, and when the weatl is bad you fave rheumatic twing The -urine is ciéudy, full of sediment, channels’ often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or_three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In%a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act- fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and hes been used for generations fo clean and stimu- late sluggish kidneys, also to neutra- lize acids in the urine o it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weak- ness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat caters. It is inexpensive can- not Injure and makes a delightful, eftervescent lithia-water drink.

PLAINFIELD Superintendent Chapman’s Report on High School—Good Work Deone in Spite of Cramped Quarters. The superintendent of the schools for the town of Plainfleld, John L. Chapman, in his report to the town school committee, says of the Plainfield High school: Plainfield High school has been es- tablished ten years and its,growth has been steady. It has made a reputa- tion which is not confined to-the bor- ders of the state. Ten years ago it was started with thirty pupils in one room. The next year an addition was made to the central building arfl the schopl began - to _grow. Today by utilizing every available inch of space in the main study room, and the small room adjolning, 91 puplis can be seat- ed, but the room can comfortably ac- commodate but 78. We have register- ed during the year 101, and our aver- wge membership has been 93. Our laboratories in the basement can accommodate 10 or 13 pupils. We have had classes of 5. The same pro- portion holds to our other recitation Toome. Tn snite of these rdroree con- ditions, the standard of the school has been maintained by increaking effort on the part of both pupils and teach- era. Faithful Teachers. During the past year our teachers have taught six periods a day for five days in the week and have had con- ference periods one or two hours In the afternoon. Our laboratory classes have becn 00 large to be accommodated in the laboratories at one time and this condition has necessitated a large amount of work out of school hours and a certain amount of work not under the direct supervision of the teacher. Be- cause every teacher has taught full days, we could not divide classes that were too cumbersome to be handled as a whole successfully. We could not conduct two courses in history and one in mathematics which were sched- uled, but which were not absolutely required. New Building Needed. The need for a new buflding for the high echool should be brought to the attention of the voters of the town and such action taken as will best serve the interests of all To delay consid- eration of this question much longer is to lose ground already gained. Héard and Seen, Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Kershaw of Pawtucket were visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cooper on Lawton Heights Thursday. Louis Donals of Fail River is visiting local friends. Mrs. Albert Jerome was a visitor in Norwich Thursday. A number of local people attended Brockton falr yesterday. REAM ESTATE $4,000,000. Executor Claims Great Shrinkage Through Depreciation of Stocks— Estate in Thompson Independent of This Amount. Otto T. Bannard, an executor of the estate of Norman Bruce Ream, told a New York reporter Wednesday night in his home at No. 30 East Fifty-eighth street’ that when all debts had been tleq the heirs would be lucky if the e amounted to $4,000,000. His estate shrank in value and schedules flled with the state treasurer of Connecticut cover everything he possessed at the time of his death with the exception of real estate in Chicago valued at far jess than $1.000,000. “When all of Mr. Ream's indebted- ness has been paid his heirs will have left to divide among them between 33,000,000 and $4,000,000. This does not include his home in Thompeon, Conn. His Chicago real estate holdings con- sist of interests in several office build- ings and his old home there, “There was no cause for any secrecy about the will. It is a simple, stratght away document, and there was nothing in or about it to conceal. Mr. Ream has no_property, or very little, upon which New York state can claim a tax, His legal residence was in Connecti- cut. The schedules and inventories are in my office.
