The second floor contained two school Yooms and the assembly hall. On the third floor were the lodge rooms. It is understood that _ the building cost to buiid about $35,000. | It was erected by Palmer Bros, who also bore much of the expense of ite | maintenance, and in about another year wouid probably have turned the building over to the town. It was up- to-date in every particular of equip- ment and was declared Sunday night by Chairman C. W. Comstock of the school board to be probably the best school building in the state in any community of similar size. The three members of the school committee—C. W. Comstock, chalrman, | Roscoe Dart, secretary, and Frank H. | Rogers—went actively to werk on Sunday to provide quarters so that the school work of the 200 children would not be interrupted for a day by The Palmer Memorial school, a three story stone and brick building at Montville, erected about ten years ago by Palmer Bros. quilt manufacturers, whose mill is one of the principal man- ufacturing plants of the town, was totally destroyed by fire which 'broke out a few minutes after midnight Sat- urday night and burred till early Sun- morning. ‘ll’n The buliding also were the public library and lodge rooms occupled by the Masons, the Odd Fellows and the American Mechanics. These all lost all their paraphernalia and recordss, as practically nothing was saved from the building. Sunday only the blackened walls re- mained standing, and it is estimated that the total loss in bulilding and equipment will be about $50,000. According to the fanitor, Frederick Phillips, he had put out the fire in the heater in the building on Friday, and Greeks from a number of Connecti- cut towns are leaving to join the army. Mrs. L. W.

A, parlors on Sunday after- noon at 3.30 o'clock. General Secre- tary Edwin Hill led the services which opened with the singing of Throw Out the Life Line.

Although afflicted with St. dance and declared incurable at = Vitus age of 20, Mr. Stippich effected complete cure by correct habits of living and today he is enjoying the best of health. Mr. Stippich spoke on the subject How to Live 100 Years. After telling of his early boyhood and the great suffering he underwent while afflicted with disease Mr. Stippich went on to glve the men a few of the principal rules of right living. Medicine, he £ald, will tide you over a crisis but nature is the real doctor. The first rule he gave was controlled appetites and orderly living. Everyone should live orderly. We must eat and we should eat nourishing foods. The laws of nature say that 23 ounces of food is the daily apportionment for a man weighing from 150 to 163 pounds. There are 12 different salts in ' the body and these salts are derived from greens. Mr. Stippich urged the men to abstrain from confections, pie and cake. The second rule Mr. Stippich gave was to exercise regularly. ~The hap- py mind is 2-3 of the battle, said Mr. Stippich. Exercise your mind first, be_obtimistic, thoughtful and kind. Mr. Stippich sald the cause of most diseases was due not so much to ig- norance of nature’s laws, as to care- lessness and wilful disobediance. Swahn’s orchestra provided music during the service. Next Sunday the speaker will be Rev. Arthur Varley, pastor of the Taftville Congregational church, OTIS LIBRARY NOTES. Books Upon Business Among the New Additions.

SANTA CLAUS ARRIVES ON SCHEDULE TIME. Crowds Usher the Good Old Saint to His Hom: Porteous & Mitchell’s. That good old saint of the season, Santa Claus, sent thrills of ~delight through the hearts of hundreds of the litle folks of eastern Connecticut when he arrived in visible form on Saturday afternoon on the way to the store of the Portcous & Mitehell company, where he will make his home until Christmas. Straight from the North Pole he came, and when he reached Plainfield tound an autotruck waiting, all prop- erly decorated with signs that told of the place he was going to. Climbing | aboarq the truck, he gave a nod to the driver and they were off for this city, passing down through Jewett City, and everywhere along the way being greet- ed by the big crowds of eager children who wanted to get a good close look at their patron saint. They danced and shouted with glee as he passed along and did all they could to show that a_welcome was waiting for him that will never grow old. ‘When the good old saint reached Taftville he changed from the truck into his special trolley car, gaily dec- orated with bunting and American flags. That brought him straight to the store through still more crowds that ‘greeted him along the way and through the city streets. Scoutmaster Benjamin Bruce, with 20 Boy Scouts, made the journey north to meet Santa and escort him on his memorable trip to Norwich. There were a bugler and a drummer in the squad. In the finely furnished home at the Porteous & Mitchell store is erected a Christmas tree and on this he will hang presents for some of those boys and girls who Santa knows have been es- pecially well behaved. In his workshop he has ali kinds of tovs and from this assortment he will make his choices. During the morning hours and on days when the weather is not suitable for the little folks to visit him in the store window, Santa Claus will be found in his workshop on the third floor of the store from 10 to 12. Par- ents are invited to bring their children to the workshop, and the elevator will be at their disposal. The window decorations and car decorations were the result of efforts of Daniel J. Hinchey, who had the as- sistance of Joseph Farrell. The latter did the printing of the signs for the sides of the car, the cards on the ends of the car and the lettering in the window. FUNERALS.
