The drug, caffeine, in coffee, about 214 grains to the average cup, hurts many coffee drinkers, at some time of life, and often hurts them hard.

From his earliest experiences in the- business world he gave promise of being unusually successful, and these first signs were truly indicative fof his ability, for he built up a splen- did business 'and amassed a comfort- able fortune. With the coming of the automobile era Mr. Joy turned his attention to the business possibilities in this line, be- coming. agent for well known lines of -J| cars, and at the time of his death had become the largest dealer in machines in. northeastern Connecticut. In_the meantime he continued his livery bus- iness, which he had expanded.” Four years ago Mr, Joy bought what was a long tfme known as the Bugbee house stables, remodeled the property and consolidated his livery and _garage business at one location. - His business continued te_grow, and was one of the most prosperous in the state when illness took Mr. Joy’s attention from it.a few days ago. All may be said that is good of Mi- chael R, Joy that may be said of any man. He was first and always a man —a splendid example of manhood, one of God's noblemen. His was an ex- ceedingly strong character. His man- ner was absolutely direct and open. His friends here were legion, he was one of the best known men in eastern Connecticut, and he had hundreds of friends in all- sections of the state. All of those knew him as a man of splendid character, one whose word was never questioned. But of all of those who knew him and were proud to call -him a friend there were very. few who knew of another and carefully hidden side of his character. His works ‘of charity and acts of extending 2 helping hand to the needy might be numbered by the hundreds. His eym- pathies were always with the poor and unfortunate and no opportunity to aid those in distress came to his attention to pass unnoticed. Of these things he never talked, but the friends who were very close to him at times were in a position to learn of the good that he did_so' quietly. Many of those whom he aided will bless his name. For years Mr. Joy was a member of the Putnam fire department, and eventually became its chief, filling the place for a number of years. He was 2180 a past exalted ruler of Duatnam lodge of Elks and one of its most prominent members. He was a meén- ber of St. Mary's church. In the late fall of 1914 Mr. Joy mar- ried Miss. Alta -Sharpe, who survives bim; with one son, Richard Woodlock Joy, born. Dec. 28, 1915. Mr. Joy_also leaves three sisters, resident on Grove street. MORSE MANSION SOLD.
