KEEP LOOKING YOUNG s Easy — If You Know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablet. . The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch your liver and bowels—there's no need ©of having a sallow complexion—dark rings under your eyes—pimples—a, bil- Hous look in your face—dull eyes with no_sparikle. Your_doctor will tell you ninety per cent. of all sickness comes from inac- tive bowels and liver. Dr, Eawards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com- pound mixed with olive oil to act on the Hver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the sub- stitute for calomel, are gentle in their action, et always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy_ which . should be enjoyed by everyone, by ton- ing up the liver and clearing the sys- tem of impurities.

Mr. Eastment has the option, to avold. the court proceedings, it is set forth, of .commencing to use the bank designated by the selectmen as a depository on or before Tuesday of this week, and continuing to do so. The selectmen of Brooklyn are Oli- ver F. Downs, Fred A. Card and John F. Fitzgerald. 'Monday of last week at 2'meeting of the board, Messrs. Downs and Cufpmen!, Mr. Fitzgerald being absent, it was voted that the select- men of the town of Brooklyn designate the Danfelson Trust company as the depository of the funds of the town of Brooklyn which are to be deposited subject to check, and that the men, -direct the treasurer- to depos! auch funds of the town In this institu- tion. \ The selectmen on that day, it is set forth, acquainted the treasurer with the action taken, and he refused to follow the @irection to use the Dan- ielson Trust company as a depository and has_continued to refuse and ‘nés- lect to do so. At a special town meeting in Brook- lyn Feb. 25, 1898, called, among other things, to see what action the town would take with reference to the issu- ance of bonds for retiring outstanding indebtedness and for creating a sink- ing fund for the payment of such bonds as they would-come due, the resolution passed included a provision that, commencing with the year 1901, May 1, and annually thereafter during the life of the bonds, $932 be appro- priated as a sinking fund, this sum to be invested by the town treasurer, but by and with the advice and con- sent of the selectmen, in some proper savings bank or other institution or security designated by law for the in- vestment of trust funds. It is on this vote that the selectmen base their right to direct how and where the sinking fund shall be deposited. The information in the mandamus proceedings sets forth that in 1914 and 1915 the treasurer of Brooklyn depos- ited $932 each year in the Windham County Nationai bank of Danielson, and- that such deposits were made without the advice and consent of the selectmen and were not made in an institution designated by law for the investment of trust funds. Mr. Eas ment was not the treasurer during this period, however, Oscar F. Atwood then holding the office. Another vote passed by the_ select- men at their meeting last Monday directs the town treasurer to deposit the sinking fund in the Brooklyn Sav- ings bank here, but, like the direction to deposit funds subject to check in the Danielson Trust company, he has declined to do so. At the annual town méeting in Oc- tober of this year, Brooklyn electors voted that the town treasurer be au- thorized to borfow money to meet the necessary running expenses of the town for the ensuing year, all notes to be countersigned by the first select- man, Oliver F. Downs. On Monday of last week, Nov. 15, the selectmen of Brooklyn arranged for a loan of $10,000, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, at the Danielson Trust company, this sum beging required on that day to pay a note bearing 5 per cent. inter- est then maturing at the Windham County National bank. The selectmen took the note to Treasurer Eastment and requested and directed him to execute it, the mote having been countersigned by Mr. Downs. Mr. Eastment declined to do as directed unless the note was made payable to the order of the Windham County National bank, for money to be borrowed on it, it is set forth. The note of $10,000 became payable last Monday at the Windham County National bank and is now a week past due and unpaid, interest accruing at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The writ of mandamus was asked for that Mr. Eastment be\required to ‘use the depositories designated by the selectmen. Treasurer Eastment’s Statement. Mr. Eastment said Saturday after- noon that he was approached soon after his election as town treasurer by two citizens of Brooklyn who request- ed him to transfer deposits in the Windham County National bank to the Danielson Trust company. Mr. East- ment says he gave his visitors no sat- isfaction either way. Later the se- Jectmen urged that the change be made and he contested their right to direct where the funds be deposited, and still contests it. As to the sink- ing fund of the town, that is in the Windham County National bank. Mr. Eastment called attention to the fact that he did not deposit it there, this having been done by his predecessor, Oscar F. Atwood, and Mr. Eastment further claims that he has never been requested or directed by the selectmen fo change this deposit to any other an! for Club.

The Observant Citizen, a columnist for a Boston paper, has the following of Eastern Connecticut interest: Thomas Fitzpatrick, known through- out New England as Steeple Tom, tells me that he is “pulling strong”’ for an open winter. ‘At the present time this intrepid climber is at work on the spire of St. Patrick’s church, Norwich, Conn., one of the most beautiful in that state. In commenting on his work, Steeple Tom informed me that the twin spires on the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Savannah, Ga., awed him the most. “It was Sunday morning when I reached the city,” said he, “and the sound of those chimes gave me a vearning feeling for dear old Boston. This probably accounted for the feel- ing of awe which hung to me through- out the entire task of repairing the spires, each of which is 225 Teet high. NORWICH MAN INJURED.

As the team approached him, the man walked into the road and asked for a ride. Mr. Gobiel refused and did not stop, whereupon the man attempted to climb into the teagn. Mr. Gobiel started up the horse, an® look- ing back saw the man running after the team. He immediately rulled out his revolver and fired at the ground on the side where the man was. The man ran to the other side calling out, “T'll get you vet” and Gobiel fired again at the ground on that side.

In course of time the monks managed to complete —— the set of stones and to perfect the rules of the yame which they taught after their release to the other in- mates of the monastery.
