You don’t want a slow remedy when your stomach-is bad—or an uncertain one—or a harmful one—your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it with drastic drugs. Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; its harmless- (mess: its certain unfailing action in ‘regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. ITts milllons of cures in _indigestion, | dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach | trouble hes made it famous the world over. Keep this perfect stomach doctor in ; your home—keep it handy—get a large fifty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat some- : thing which doesn't agree with them; |if what they eat lays like lead, fer- !ments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nau- sea; eructations of acid and undigest- ed food—remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. |Its promptness, certainty and ease in | overcoming the stomach dis- | orders is a revelation to those who try b GREEKS WILL NEVER ABANDON THE!R KING. Will Resist Plans of Entents Allies to Incite Rebellion. Berlin, Feb. 20.—“Do you consider it possible to force our people to give up their neutrality by pressure with bayonets? Whoever believes that the Greeks will abandon their king does not know the Greek character.” Thus declared Prime Minister Skou- loudis of Greece to the correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt, who was interviewing him, according to the Overseas News Agency, which sumi- marizes the interview as follows. “Premier Souloudis asserted that be- tween the first and the tenth of Janu- ary the entente powers tried to move the Greek people to rebellion against their government by attempting to starve them out, but that the Greeks got along on vegetables and fruits. When the entente powers saw this, added the premier, they understood that not only the Greek army but the majority of the Greek people endorsed their goverument's policy. “The entente, therefore, chanred its tactics,” continued M. Skouloudis, “and the Greegs their regular re- Greece hopes for and would welcome an offensive against Saloniki, the pre- micr asserted, because the occupation of that port affec every Greek like _ & nightmare. He felt certain. he said, that if the Bulgarians were to enter Greece for war operations the feel- ings of the Greeks would not me hurt. Finally he declared emphatically: “At all events, the world will see that Greece wil not give up her neu- trality. She will not allow herseif to be forced by events nor by arms.” TO RECOVER MONEY LOANED TO STRANDED AMER|CAN3.I Suits Begun at Instigation of Secre- tary of Treasury McAdoo. _ New York, Feb. 20—The first of the ~government suits to recover loaned to America in today at the of the Treas- ted Stafes District France of Brooklyn.

Angelo Haveles, who for some time has operated a small store on the West Side patronized chiefly by Greek residents, was missing Tuesday morn- ing when his case was called for a hearing in a justice’s court for the town of Brooklyn, Attorney Clarence As a conse- quence the $100 cash bail he posted for his release when brought back here from Marlboro on Friday of last week was forfeited to the town of Brooklyn. Haveles got into the toils because of his failure to pay a bill of about $50 owed to a local concern. When he was threatened with an attachment on his stock because of his failure to pay he wrote a check for $10 as par- tial payment to the firm he owed, dat- ing the check ahead.

This was the second annual event of the kind and it was successful. Most all of the villages in this section were represented by players that sat about the tables. Freight Embargo May Cause Embar- rassment. Reading about embargoes has come to be an incidental interest this wint- er, but the one put in force over the local branch of the New Haven road on Tuesday is of very speclal interest to a number of of business men and manufacturers in Danielson and- other places in Killingly. A canvass of the coal dealers in town Tuesday revealed the fact that the supply of anthracite coal is very limited in Danielson, not more than enough to last a week as coal is need- ed in filling the regular run of orders. This will be parceled out in a way to make it go as far as possible. No ord- ers for large quantities are being ac- cepted. It is possible of course, that the em- bargo may be raised after a week or ten days for at least a period of a few days, as has been done before this winter, but there is nothing positive about this and it may be necessary for many householders to burn wood through the greater part of March. That the embargo is necessary is in- dicated by crowded conditions in the was participateed in by more than 400 children of the city of Hartford and the subject about which they wrote was General Putnam and His Career. Out of the total number of essays submit- ted 37 were selected and sent to a fessor of English, who made the Bnal awards. The essays submitted by the Putnam children were as follows: The Military Career of lsrael Putnam (By Albert Putnam) Among the earliest settlers in Salem, was John Putnam, who left d with the Puritans under Endicott. The original name of this family was Put- tenham, from Buckinghamshire. Israel Putnam was the eleventh child of Captain Joseph Putnam, and great- grandson of John Putnam. He was born January 7, 1718. His character was fearless, generous and heroic, al- ways in good humor. He was married at twenty-one to Hannah Pope of Salem, and moved to Pomfret, Conn., on the Quinebaug river, where the pasture was well adapted to sheep, and he had as good fleeces as any in New England. A wolf killed so many of his flock that two men trailed her, and drove her into a cave. After & while Putnam went in, shot her, and brought her out by the ears, amid the rejoicing of his friends. At the beginning of the French war he was made captain of a regi- ment of Connecticut provincials. He was so popular that it was easy to get recruits for his company ,whose duty was waylaying convoys of provisions, surprising pickets and capturing de- tached posts. He was in an expedi- tion to capture Crown Point, and drive the French from Lake Champlain and Lake George. It was a failure. He failed in thls. The campaign of 1750 was to reduce Crown Point, Niagara and Fort Duquesne. Putnam seemed possessed of the qualities required in the peculiar service of harassing the enemy, and stood high in th stima- tion of his commander. In 1757 the Legislature of Connecticut zave I'ut- nam a major's commission. Putnam was of great help in the disastrous siege of Ticonderoga, cover- ing the retreat of the Dritish by giving ground slowly. Once when trying to cut off a retreat he fell into an ambush and discharged | his pistol at a big Indian. But it failed, and he was captured. And had to carry heavy packs for many miles, walking barefooted. They tied him to a tree, and piled lighted fagots around him, but a French officer rescued him. Later he was exchanged and wer he was made lieutenant- He was in the captured it by stratc tulated, and the ¥ a ended. y years when Eng colonies unjt 549 her nam did other brave militar taxing ard tne alarm of the B: on, he plowing took a ho! on. He was made adier . Fe then came o| Hartford and _raised a regiment, and returning to Poston took command at the Battle of Bunker Hill. When Gen- eral Washington came to take com- mand of the American army, he brought with him a major-general's commission for Putnam. During this time the Declaration of Independence was signed. Putnam had command at he Battle of Long Island, and being forced to re- treat saved his division by strategy. After the fall of Fort Washington, and the retreat through New Jersey, he was stationed at Philadelphia, to com- plete some defenses, as the British had begun a campaign against it. He then went to Princeton to take command. From there he was sent to the High-| lands, and fought several battles with | the British in the vicinity of the Hud- son River, and he established a fort at West Point which bears his name. In 1777 and 1778 re was in Connec- ticut raising recruits to strengthen Washington's army, and was stationed | altvn.riqus points in western Connecti- | cut. While on a visit to his home he had a stroke of paralysis, and_was unable to return to the army. He died in Brooklyn, Conn., May 19, 1790. Second Prize Essay (By Marcella Putnam) Israel Putnam, son of Joseph Put- nam and great grandson of John Put- nam who came from England in 1634; was born in Old Salem, now Danvers, Messachusets, January 7, 1718. When he was twenty-one he married Hannah Pope and- the next year moved to Pom- fret, Connecticut, in that part of the town now called Brooklyn. For the next fifteen years, he work- ed on his farm in Pomfret, and though he prospered had many adventures, for the country was new and unsettled. One of his most famous explois was with an old wolf which had been kill- ing sheep in the neighborhood. The farmers chased the animal into her den and Putnam crawled in after her, shot her, and brought her out by her ears. When the last French war broke out, Putnam offered his services to the col- ony and was made captain of a Con- necticut regiment, which he raised among his personal friends and ad- mirers. With these young men he fought the French and Indians in the territory near Lake George. Near the end of the war Putnam was made a major. He ‘had many narrow escapes and thrilling _adventures. Once he was captured by the Indians who tied him to a free and built a fire around him. He was rescued by a French officer and taken a prisoner to Canada. A little later he was exchanged and re- turned to the English army. At he close of the war Major Put- nam returned to his farm in Pom- fret where he lived about seven years. When the port of Boston was closed because of the Boston Tea Party; Put- nam drove a flock of sheep from the parish of Brooklyn to Boston to help feed the people. The messenger who brought news of the battle of Lexington found Put- nam plowing in the field. Sending word to his wife that he had gone, he un- hitched one of the horses and mount- eers, local railroad yards, which are no more crowded, however, than are all other points along the route from New London to Worcester. Industrial Place Strects. - It was stated Tuesday that the se- lectmen will take up the matter of im- proving the streets in Industrial place at their regular meeting on Wednes- day of next week. This is a matter that holds interest for many who are anxious for the development of Indus- trial place and is in accordance with a vote passed at the anuual town meet- ing last October. WON ESSAY PRIZES Albert D. Putnam and Marcella R. Putnam Carry Off Hartford Honors. Descendants in the sixth generation of General Israel Putnam won the first and second prizes in the essay contest conducted at Hartford by the Putnam Phalanx.

The Connecticut Legislature made him a brigadler general an dhe was given command of the Connecticut troops by Jonathan Trumbull, govern- or of our state. General Putnam was i};lmcomms.nd at the Battle of Bunker On July 8, 1776, General Washington arrived at Cambridge and took com- mand of the army, bringing with him, for Israel Putnam, the first major general’s commission conferred by the Continental Congress. Putnam was therefore senior major general in the Continental army. % ‘Washington _transferred Putnam's command to New York where he fought the British at Long Island, and on the retreat up the Hudson River another battle was fought near the present site of the Grand Central Station. During this campaign, Putnam or- dered a Connecticut man named Bush. nell, who invented a submarine boat to blow up a British man-of-war in New York harbor. The attempt was unsuccessful because the bomb did not .0 off at the right time. This was the rst time a submarine boat was used. Later Putnam lald out Fort Putnam at ‘West Point.

Porkins Explains Trolley Fare Changes—Miss Maloney Wins Effi- ciency Certificate. By order of Judge Curtls, short calendar and assignment of cases will not be heard at Putnam Friday of this week. as had been planned. Crim- nal business will be taken up second week of court, March 14. If counsel can agree on trial of civil business any day the first week, March 7-10, Judge Curtis will open court; otherwise civil business will not be taken up until after criminal business is disposed of. Notice of | agreement to try civil cases should be given to the court on or before Sat- urday of this week by 11 o'clock a. m. State Attorney Charles E. Searls gives notice that he will be in his of- fice in Putnam for consultation in re- gard to criminal cases, Saturday of this weelk from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. A number of cases of criminal na- ture is awaiting disposal and it is sald that more than the usual number of civil cases will be tried at the March term of court, which promises to be a busy one. Rumored Re-routing of Fast Night Trains. A story gained circulation here on Tuesday to the effect that the big, fast night trains now running through this city are to be taken off and re- i i 1 | stored to the Shore line’ early in March. XNo verification of the story could be obtained here, however. It is supposed that the rumor applies to the fast mail and express trains that were taken off the Shore line and put on the Midland division a few weeks ago. Adding of the express trains to the route through Putnam made this city an important transfer station for ex- press at night and made the railroad station a very busy place, as it con- tinues to be at the hours when this express matter is being handled. The story that the trains are to be taken off was first heard about a month ago and recurred a few days since. Now it is being repeated for a third time. Agent Winslow of the Adams Expre company said Tues- day that he had heard nothing official relative to the trains being taken off, but, of course, had heard the rumor. The fact that the trains were taken off the Shore line and put on the Midland to allow of freer movement of freight, as it was understood here, makes it seem likely to a number of Putnam people that the trains will remain on their present run, for the freight pressure is as heavy, or heav- jer now, than it was when the change was made. Democrats Considering Probate Judge Candidate. Democratic leaders in city politics have had at least one informal con- ference over the matter of naming a party candidate for judge of probate, a town cffice. Nothing definite has been done about the matter, thoush. It is understood that no particular person has been considered by the democrats as a candidate for the of- fice, but that the plans for a cam- paign will be worked out in due time. It is the sentiment of influential dem- ocrats that the party’s opportunity to campaign in the interest of a candi- date of their party should not go by default and that the recent successes of the party in city politics would warrant a strong effort for the town office in question. Temperance Rally. J. A. Solandt of New Haven was the speaker Tuesday evening at a temperance rally held in Union hall. The meeting was arranged under the direction of citizens who are anxious that Putnam be voted into the no- license list of towns in the state at the annual! town meeting next Octo- ber. A special drive.is to be made In Putnam, for one reason because Putnam has a much larger number of saloons than it is entitled to under the law allowing one for each 500 of the population, this excess being due to the fact at Putnam has never voted no-license since the law fixing the ratio 1t into effect.
