ACHILD DOESN'T LAUGH ANDPLAY IFCONSTIPATED IF PEEVISH, FEVERISH AND SICK, GIVE “CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGSX Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated: this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a_gen- tle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given. Nothing equals “California Syrup of Figs” for children's ills: give a tea- spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, de- licious “fruit laxative,” and it never fails to effect a good “inside” cleans- ing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the_bottle. Keep it handy in your home. A lit- tle given today saves a sick child to- morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a_ 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” then look and see that it is made by the “Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Company.” YANTIC Delighted 'Audience at Y. M. C. A.

Pendleton Before Historic- al Society—Vulcanizer in Alling Store Explodes—Elks’ Election—Cycle Club Celebrates 21st Anniversary— Mellow’s Counsel Files Motion for New Trial. Bugene B. Pendleton, at the regular meeting of the Westerly Historical soclety hel2 Thursday evening in the Memorial building, dellvered a very interesting paper on The Old Post- masters of Westerly. The first post- office established in the town was inl 1776, when Benjamin Franklin, post- master general, appointed Dr. Joshua Babcock postmaster. The entire re- ceipts for the year were $6.01, and the postoffice was loeated in the house now owned by Miss Julla Smith in Granite street. Rowse Babcock was appointed post- master in 1794, and he conducted the office at his home in the house now occupied by Oscar Vose in Granite street. Paul Rhodes became postmaster in 1802, and the office was removed to The Tavern or The Inn, in the present Broad street. In 1816 Amos Cross was appointed postmaster. He was a judge in Rhode Island courts and with his family was iGentified largely with the: social life of the town. Jesse Maxson was appointed post- master in 1824, who was town clerk for many years. The office was still in The Tavern in Broad street. In 1832 Lemuel Vose became post- master, with office in the building in Main street now occupied by H. T. Kenyon company, and stood on the site of the building owned by Edward J. Fenelin, which was Westerly's first brick building. It was during Mr. Vose's term that mail was carried by steam railroad trains to and from Westerly. Jesse L. Moss was appointed post- master in 1841, with office in the build- ing now occupied by George F. Brough- ton in Main street. In 1844 Lyndon Taylor became post- master and establish office in the store in Main street now occupied by Rob- |h ert Drysdale. John Holmes Cross in 1849 became postmaster, with office at the old stand | for a time, but subsequently in the| store now occupied by Milo M. Clarke in Main street. Colonel George Brown was the next postmaster, being appointed in 1863, the office for eight years, and was a democrat of the old school and from an old South county family, to the| west_room of the ground floor of the | old Leonard house, then in Broad street, but now in Canal street, and formerly owned by Charles Dan. Thompson. It was moved there from the site of the present Dixon house. At this period the Westerly office had | become the largest between _Provi- ! dence and New Imondon. and John D. | Coy served as assistant postma Mr. Pendleton s “Mr. Coy > | oldest person livirg who ever worked | in the Westerly postoffice.

Cross became post- | master, after serving as two clerk fo thirty years, and holding several sta'e offices. Willlam P. Clancy became postmas- ter in 1895. During his term of office the free rural delivery service was| established. In 1900 Walter Price was appointed American Pioneer Life. These are greatly appreciated. ‘Through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mac- kenzie the puplls have been favored monthly this year with coples of the Ladies’ Home Journal, the Woman's Home Companion, the Delineator and | the Saturday Evening Post and other current magazines and publications which are a source of information and pleasure.

Backus hospital ambu- lance has been called to Franklin twice during the month to eonvey patients to the hospital for treatment. The first case was a severe burning accident at the farm on the Baltic road known as the John Driscoll farm and recently purchased by a Jew, whose wife was scalded by steam. Water had been heated in a ten- quart milk can set on the stove with a wooden stopper in the can. When an attempt was made to take the stopper out the steam rushed out with such force as to cover the woman. One of the children in the rom was slightly burned, but ran to the barn for the father. The ambulance was called and the woman is still in a critical con- dition at the hospital. March 1st the ambulance was called mals of Forest and Jungle and J.
