GREENEVILLE Second of United Lenten Services Held Tuesday at St. Andrew’s Church—Suffragan Bishop Acheson Was the Speaker. The second of the United Lenten services was held in St. Andrew’s church, Greeneville, Tuesday evening and was largely attended. The ser- vice was conducted by Right Rev. E Campion Acheson, suffragan bishop of Connecticut, and he was assisted by Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown, Rev. F. Johns Bohanan and Rev. R. R. Gra- ham. Rev, Mr. Acheson in his second ad- dress on The Love of God, took his text from the parable of the Prodigal Son and laid special emphasis on the phrase, “Give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me” saying that many of us take that portion al- lotted to us and waste it and we are like the son who wasted his portion In " riotous living in a far country. Many are leading a righteous life in- side ‘but have not yvet found courage to make an outward expresslon of These persons are still in the f country. The character is undermined by the little things and one step fol- lows another until we find ourswves in a far country and then we ask for- giveness and God forgives us, but a fatal stain has been made on our souls and the penalty must be paid. Rev. Mr. Acheson likened our lives to the plece of track that has been neglected. At first one grain of sand under the ties loosens and is carried away and then another, and so on until the track is unsafe and the train is wrecked. So it is with our lives and when the smash comes we mnot only wreck ourselves but others, too. In order to become a power in the church and Christian life we must have the restraint of religion and the restraint of God in our hearts and in our speech and in our actions. If we do not have this restraint we are like a large and powerful machine that is running without the control of an en- gineer and if left to its own devices will meet with dlsaster. Great stress was iald on the neces- sity of parents to bring their chil- dren up in the churck not by forcing them to go but by making it a. plea to go and in_setting the _example themselves. Many a son has been sent to church while his parents stay- ed at home and as soon as the son was out from under the home in- fluence his interest in things spiritual died. The love of God should be in the hearts of each one of us, for God is our father and God's love is just as wonderful a thing as the love of our own father and mother. In closing Rev. “We come from God and let us go to God and ask His forgiveness and He will welcome us the same as the Father welcomed the Prodigal Son.” [ FUNERAL. Mre. Samuel M. Brooks. The funeral of Mary _Rawlinson, widcw of Samuel Mowry Brooks, who died in Norristown, Pa., ‘was held from the home of her fother, Mrs. William Rawlinson, at 27 Fifth street, Tues- day afternoon. Many relatives and friends were present. Rev. F. Johns Bohanan officiated. Burial was in Yantic cemetery and —_—— GOATS’ MILK FOR COUGHS “Go to the Hills and drink goats’ milk was the prescription given by Hippocrates more than 2000 years ago for coughs, colds and bronchitis, but nowadays our local druggist, G. G. Engler, Proprietor of the Broadway Pharmacy, has a non-secret constitu- tional remedy just as certain which can be taken right at home. It is Vinol—composed of the healing, med- fcinal extractives of cod livers, with- out ofl, peptonate of iron for the blood and the nourlshing properties of beef peptone. It goes to the seat of the trouble, removes the cough and cures the cold. Vinol is a very reliable preparation. GAGER Funeral Director and Embalmer Prompt service day or night Tel. 642-2.

The High Street synagogue was tax- ed to its capacity, Tuesday evening, with an enthusiastic audience of local Jewish people who are interested In the Zionist movement, to hear Mrs. Richard Gotthell, wife of Prof, Gotthell instructor of Hebrew and Semitic languages in Columbla university, and Miss Nellle Strauss of New York speak under the auspices of the newly organ- ized Norwich chapter of Hadesseh. The synagogue was attractively dec- orated with American and Zionist flags and the speakers were introduced by Mrs. Herman Alofsin, president of the local order . Mrs. -Gottheil opened her address by saylng that she had the previlege of visiting Palestine five times and of liv- ing there part of her life. What she has seen of both the light and dark side of Palestine prompted her, Miss Eva Leon and Miss Henrietta Szold, the latter now the president of the Hadesseh since its inception to_organ- | ize the Haddesseh movement. She has witnessed the conditions of the po: erty stricken Jews suffer from diseases which are known in the tropics and she told of the attention they received in the hospitals there. How medl- val and inadequate they are and most 1l how the people are treated as The: that American Jewish women wno feel for all pains and plagues of Israel, es- the founders, at once decided pecially of mother Zion, respond. Leaving Palestine four vears ago they made a pledge to their unfortu- nate sisters in the Holy Land that a system of visiting nurses would be undertaken. Reaching America Nathan Strauss at once placed a proposition before the Hedesseh whereby he would pay for the jrurney of two nurses and pa: their salary for four months. This offer was accepted. They have a ma- ternity hospital, eye specialist and a settlement house where the wants of the people are ministered to The Hedesseh is not a philanthro- will readily plc organization in any sense. It is now self supporting. This charty work is done aside from the humani- tarian standpoint, because deeply imbedded into the hearts of all Hebrews. ot a praver passes the lips of a Jew where the hope for a return to Palestine is not asked for. on lles Palestine is still cherished by 000,000 dispersed Jew: But not by prayers can we get back our land. We must unite and act. It is 40 years ago since the modern Zion- t smovement started. A band of ealistic and determined young men and women went to Palestine for the future of the Jewish people. Today 48 colonies are blooming. ' We ought to call them villages. They are really the pride of Palestine. They arc clean, well lald out and have paved streets, & system of sewerage, academies, schools, kindergartens and above all, only Hebrew is spoken there. In the school, home and mart the lethargic language has been revived. Today all is laid to waste by the ter- rible war calamity, especially because the head of the Zionist organizations were in Europe. But American Jews proved selves equal to the crisis. At once the Prov. Zionist Com. was formed, of which Louls Brandeis, now a nom- inee to the supreme court bench of the Tnited States, is chairman, and cre- ated a special relief, called the emer- gency fund. This fund, which must reaeh $200,000 a vear, must be raised in America to maintain the Palestine institutions and colonies which took decades to build and nourish. For when this calamity is over and when the several nations of the world sit around the table and discuss the terms of peace, we want a man to rep- resent our mation. ‘That man will rep- resent the voices of millions of dead and living martyrs. We who have ac- complished so much for the world are entitled to own legally the land trod- den by our prophets and made holy by the blood of the Maccabeans. And since we have this foothold already | there, we must strive with all our might to maintain it at lea Miss Straus told of how the move- ment was started by Dr. Hertzell, who had been away from his people for some time, engaged in newspaper work. ~Realizing the injustice to his people, he pondered for weeks and months on the question, and with Dr. Max Nordeau his efforts were realized by the formation of the Zionist con- 14,- them- gress which opened in Switzerland in 1898. Jews immediately became enthu- siastic and some who were too poor to ride walked all the way from Russia. The membership of the local ci of Haddash numoers 30 and the pros- pects for an increase in membership are very bright. A collection of $67 was taken for the Jewish relief fund. NO INTENTION TO ABANDON S. N, E. LINE Central Vermont President Says Line is to be Completed. President E. C. Smith of the Cen- tral Vermont railway and the South- ern New England railway testified at the interstate commerce commission hearing in Providence Tuesday that there never had been any intentlon of abandoning the construction of the SouthernNew England line to Provi- dence and that it would be completed as soon as possible. The statement of President Smith was made during the rebuttal testi- mony on the application of the Cen- tral Vermont railroad for the reten- tion of its line of steamboats between New London and New York and_ for permission to operate two of them out of Providence, in connection with the Southern New England. Counsel for the Central Vermont claimed that the Sound line of that company had always been a compei- tor of the New York, New England & Hartfora railroad and that the com- pany had done its utmost to obtain business by way of New London. commission’s hearing in land was concluded Tuesday. GROTON LAND HEARING No Oppesition to the Taking of Three Parcels of Land for Railroad Pur- poses. The taking of land in Groton for railroad purposes was the subject of a hearing by the public utilities com- mission in the capitol Tuesday. There was no opposition to the taking of three parcels of land for the purpose of changing grade of the road to the West Midway yard. In regard to the taking of the land for the purpose of changing the grade of the highway overy Avery road, Attorney C. D.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children | InUse For Over 30 Years Alvqu:'bnn Signature of =S HUMANE SOCIETY PROBES LEDYARD COW CASE Investigation to Fix Blame for Poor Condition of Animals. The Connecticut Humane society has taken into its official charge seven animals m Ledyard from the farm leased by Laurence Ingraham. and is holding them to determine who is to blame for their poor condition. Mr. Ingraham leased the farm from Don- ald H. Stiffles of New York for three years, the lease including the stock, tools ‘and animals, and Ingraham un- derstood that the' feed for the stock was to be included. No feed was fur- nished, however. Mr. Ingraham became ill, the result being that from both causes the stock got into such a wretched condition that one cow and one horse had to be killed and the other seven antmals, including five cows and two yearl- ings, are now under the care of the soclety. There will soon be & crimi- na] investigation to determine who is to blame. Under the law, if, at the end of 30 days, the soclety has not been retnbursed for its expense in caring for the animals, they will be sold at public auction. MINE-PLANTER SCHOFIELD.

Rebate Plan With a Central Clearing House. The members of the Norwich Retall Merchants’ assoclation voted to rebate fares of out of town patrons during Merchants' week at a meeting held in the Wauregan house on Tuesday morn~ ing at 10 o'clock. Among those Dresent were directors of the association and representatives of the mechants’ bureau of the Nor- wich Chamber of Commerce and the merchants’ committee of the Board of Trade, who had been invited to meet with the members and take part in the discussion of the plans for Merchants' week, which is to be held May 13-20, inclust There is considerable interest in the movement and the meeting disclosed the fact that the merchants would benefit mutually as well as the patrons on that week if the proposition was properly conducted. It was felt” that the last Merchants’ week was not the success that it was hoped for and this was attributed to the fact that there was not sufficient money raised to con- duct the week on proper lnes. The matter of giving rebates was discussed at length and it was finally decided that it would be advisable to give rebates to those making purchases Merchants' week to refund car ex- penses and the plan of a 5 per cent. rebate with a central clearing house similar to that conducted two years ago was decided upon. Someone con- sidered that there should also be laid a tax on the merchants of 5 per cent. according to the amount of business done to serve as a sinking fund for obligations of the association that may arise at this Merchants' week or some future special week, but the matter was not acted upon. The plan adopted two years ago, which proved such a grand success, was adopted for this vear, and the merchants are 1o pay the rebates according to the amount of patronage they recelved. Books containing the names of those mer- chants_who are co-operating in the idea of giving special sales during Merchants' week and enter into the plan with the association, whether members of the association or n expected to stand their propor the rebating expenses. It was voted that lai a direct tax_Dbe upon the merchants In the plan, The matter of laying this assess- ment brought out considerable discus- sion before it was adopted, it finally being considered the most applicable to the siiuation. The plan is similar to that adopted two years ago and will provide about $500 for proper ad- vertising of Merchants' week and for powered to appoint four committees of five members each having in charge organization, advertising, transport tion and entertainment. It was de- cided that the chairmen of the several sub-committees confer with the chair- man of the assoclation with reference to the plans they decide upon and that these merchants act as an executive committee. The resignation of Abner Schwartz was presented by Secretary N, Eugene Smith and it was accepted. The chair was authorized to fill the vacancy of the board of directors.
