No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flush- ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known ~ authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma- tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous- ness, 4 ess, sleeplessness and ::xruzuy isorders come from sluggish dn < The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by a sensation of scalding. stop eating-meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespdonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts s made the acid of grapes and lemon juice, fombined with lithia, and has been used for generations to fibeh -and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the aclds in urine so it no longer causes irfitation, thus end- ing bladder weakness.

Met Norwich Man’s Nephew in Arizo- na. At the business men’s banquet in Norwich Monday evening A. V., Wood- worth brought a surprising plece of infcrmation te General Billie Hill from his nephew, Fred Hill, who has not been heard from for about five years. 'While at the grand canyon in Arizona last fall, Mr. Woodworth met the nephew who sent a message to the general to be delivered the first time Mr. Woodworth happened to meet him, Monday night proving to be this occasion. Delighted With Norwich Trip. All of the Danielson business men who were at the Norwich banquet were delighted with every feature of the event, but especially with the op- portunity to listen in on the trans- continental telephone circuity a brand new experience for every mem- ber of the Danielson delegation. But at that, the roar of the Pacific has nothing on the low, discordant growl that arises from the depths of the ‘Worcester-Mahan canal. Nickel Ride the Lowest Fare, The_impression has been gained by some who have been reading about the proposed methods of assessing trolley fares on the local division of the Shore Line Electric Raiflway company that becauspa two-cent a mile basis is talked of that short rides may be had under the new order of things for 2 cents and for 4 cents. This is an error. The minimum charge for any ride is to be five cents, the same as at present, the mileage basis. of com- puting charges for rides of more than two zones, each zone approximately a mile in length. Strong Baseball Team Probable. With the waning of the basketball season there is growing interest at the high school in the baseball team that is to represent the institution this summer. It is expected that the school will be represented by a strong team, as much of the material from last year’s nine is available again this season. Paul N. Swaffield of the fac- ulty, who has coached the basketball team this winter, is to have charge of the coaching. Mr. Swarffleld is him- sef an excellent player and made fast teams in Northern New England leagues during the summer vacations fro his stud.ies at Brown university. Labor Shortage Anticipated. Indications are that there is to be a labor shortage in Danielson and vi- cinity during the coming spring ana summer. At this time when outdoor work is at a low ebb employes are finding it difficult to secure a suffi- cient number of men to carry on op- erations. The demand for outside la- borers is certain to.be heavy here this summer and how to meet it is one of the new problems that will have to be worked out. New Haven—Chief of Police Philip T. Smith notified Blizabeth Gurley Flynn, the I. 'W. W. speaker, that she could not speak in ,Germania hall here, Sunday afternoon and evening, as planned, unless she submitted to him an outline of her proposed ad- dresses. This was not donme mor dia she call upon the chief. Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S | CASTORILA in PUTNAM = Burial of Charles N.

An appeal from the terms of the will of Hugh Duffy, late of Wilsonville in the town of Thompson, has been flled in the superior court here and it is probable that the case may come to trial at the coming term of court. The appeal is filed by James Duffy, a nephew of the deceased, and one of the relatives who does not benefit un- der the terms of the instrument. The Duffy estate amounts to about $10,500. Most of this money is rep- resented in eight savings bank ac- counts. Mr. Duffy disposed of his es- tate by siving his farm and $4.000 to his sister Catherine. Mrs. John PloufTe, Webster, another sister, is given $1,- 000, Mrs. Charles Degnan, another si ter, $1,000, Mrs. Patrick Duffy, a sis- ter-in-law, $1,000, Mrs. James Duffy, another sister-in-law, $1,000. The will was made in April of last year. Mr. Duffy died last June under ra- ther ' ‘unusual circumstances. One night, after he had been in poor health for some time, he left the home of his sister, Catherine, where he had been living, going out in Ms night clothes, and without anyone in the household knowing anything about it. When it was found that he was missing a search was instituted for him and a reward was offered for in- formation that would lead to hi3 dis- covery. Searching parties scoured all that section of the country near the Duffy homie. but it was not until sev- eral days after hie disappearance tha his_body was found in a creek. Just what claims the nephew will make in his endeavor to have a share of the @state is not known here at this time. Putnam Badges Made Hit at Norwich. Putnam members who went to the banquet of the TEastern Connecticut Development committee at Norwicy Monday evening displayed badges that were exclusively representative of Putnam. The badge itself was a strip of the automobile tire fabric that is produced by the Manasset Manu- facturing company and which has come to be recognized as one of the finest tire fabrics in the United States. The pin for the badge and to hold on an attachment in the form of a small spool of silk twist was made by the Dean Pin company, which also pro- duced a small phonograph needle ap- pended to the badge. The silk twist was from the Hammond-Knowlton mills. The badges bore a facsimile of General Israel Putnam. The badges attracted a great deal of attention at the banquet and were sought after by representatives of other towns. High School Notes.

Wright, 57, judge of pro- bate for the district of Putnam, died at his home on Chapman street at 10.30 o'clock, Tuesday morning. Death was due to Bright's disease. Although his_health began to fail two years ago, Judge Wright was able to attend to his jewelry business up to six months ago. During the summer he took a California trip and return- ed ‘apparently improved in health but it was not long before he was unable to get to his store, although he at- tended to his duties as judge at his home up to a week or two ago. He ‘was widely known in eastern Connec- ticut as a man fair in his dealings, impartfal in all of his decisions, and one in whom the utmost confidence could be imposed.

Mrs. Rowe Said She Had Been Dis- turbed by Murmurings of Crooked- ness. Chicago, Feb. 22.—Hearings of the charge that Mrs. Page Waller Eaton, superintendent of the city bureau of 8ocial surveys, was compelled to pay one-third of her $3,000 a year salary to Mrs. Louise Osborne Rowe, superin- tendent of the department of welfare, was today set for Friday before a council committee. The charges were made by William R. Rodriguez, a socialist alderman, at a meeting of the council yestérday. The alderman asserted that Mrs. Eaton had paid more than $500 to Mre. Rowe and that the money “was for the bene- fit of a needy relative of Mayor Thompson’s. Mrs. Eaton has resigned her position, it was announced today. Mrs. Rowe characterized the charges as absurd and a similar statement was made by Mayor Thompson. In the mayoralty campaign which resulted in Mayor Thompson’s election Mrs. Eaton was an active champion of Mr. Thompson. “I am tickled to death for the op- portunity to meet these charges,” said Mrs. Rowe. “I have been disturbed for six months by murmurings of al- leged graft in my office, but I couldn't defend myself because it would have betrayed the confidence of my friends. “Mrs. Faton is one of my dearest friends, one of the sweetest women I know. Mrs, Eaton described in detail the alleged payments. “I told Mrs. Rowe I would give her $40 from one-half month's pay apd $43 from the next, making a total of $83 a month, or one-third of $250. I went to the bank, got the $40 and gave it to_her. “Through December, January, Feb- ruary, March and up to election day I had been working in the interest of Thompson day and night, and even paid my own carfare until I was com- pletely out of funds and in debt. I was working hard in the bureau of surveys and earning every cent, I re- ceived.” ‘Mayor Thompson Rowe’s defense. “She has done more for Chicago in one year than all the people who ever had to do with this department,” he said. “She got the co-operation of the railroads and had signs put in stations announcing that Chicago would attend to the poor and needy better than ever before, but that all persons applying for aid woul dbe required to saw a few sticks of wood.” Mayor Thompson said he had start- ed an independent investigation of the charges by sending a close personal friend to Mrs. Eaton to get her story. Mrs. Eaton alleges that her pay- ments from her salary were for the benefit of Mrs. Margaret E. Mivelaz, ister of Mrs. Thompson. The mayor said that Mrs. Mivelaz had never received financial assistance from either himself or his wife. It was announced later that the coungil committee would take up the charges at a special meeting Friday, instead of Thursday, when a sub-com- mittee would be appointed to conduct the investigation. came to Mrs. BRIEF STATE NEWS New Haven—A.
