Many Roads Impassable. Country highways leading into Dan- ielson were again blocked and in some cases impassable Thursday as the re- sult of the most recent snow storm and attendant drifting. Oh, vou groundhog!

E. J. Barber writes from Boston rel- ative to the condition of his father, Rev. Clarence H. Barber: Rev. Mr. ‘Barber underwent a serious operatio: at the Massachusetts General Hospi tal Tuesday afternoon. For sever: months past he has been suffering with pernicious anemia and has re- cently been under the care of Dr. Richard Cabot of Boston. The operation, which removal of the spleen, Iy performed by Dr. V. ton. and latest reports were that the patient was doing nicely. involved the POSSIBILITY OF FRESHETS Weather Sharps Prognosticating What Might Happen. Prepare for damaging freshets is the warning that is being given here- abouts by old weather observers and good forecasters of meteorological possibilities. This is an extraordinar- ily unusual spring for this section. Rarely, if ever, during the memory of living persons, has there been such a mass of snow on the ground as at present, at such a late date. Day af- ter day the wind has hung in the northwest and such thawing as has taken place has been almost entirely due to the warm rays of the sun, mounting higher and higher, and with- out the aid of near-balmy south winds. The guess of the old weather sharks is that when the break does come it will come with surprising suddenness and will bring with it disastrous flood conditions. Danielson is a point like- ly to suffer considerably, they say. At this point there is heavy ice in the rivers, though the streams are flowing free of ice no farther north than Day- ille. Every highway and hillside, ev- ery street and by-way is choked with snow. When this starts to melt, look out for trouble! This is the advice of the experts on weather lore. It can’t hang on forever, they argue, and CROSS, FEVERISH CHILDIS BILIOUS OR CONSTIPATED LOOK, MOTHER! IF TONGUE COATED GIVE “CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS.” 1s Every mother realizes, after giving ner children ‘California Syrup of Figs,” that this is their ideal laxative, vecause they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender ittle stomach, liver and bowels with- sut griping. ‘When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at :he tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit ‘axative” and in a few hours all the loul, constipated waste, sour bile and andigested food passes out of the bow- and vou have a well, playful child n. When its little system is full cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, iarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem- ver, a good “inside cleansing” should \lways be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep “California syrup of Figs” handy; oW & jeaspoonful today saves a sick child lomorrow.

One public-spirited father offered to bear one-third of the expense, if Dr. Parker would talk to the girls of the High School. Every one must acknowledge that there is an urgent need of intelligent instruction in regard to the life force, if boys and girls are to properly respect and care the sixty-sixth anniversary of Mr. Sheldon’s birth.

Valeria School Dr. Valeria Parker, fleld secretary of the State Society of Social Hy- feine, spoge to an appreciative au dierce at a meeting of the Parent- Teachers’ association held in the High School hall, Tuesday evening. ‘The subject of her talk was “The Story of Life.” The lowest forms of plant and animal life were used as illustrations of the life giving force, leading up to the vital form of the highest form of life, that of the human being.

Men were engaged Thursday after- noon in clearing Main street of some of the heavy accumulation of snow from the series of severe storms of the present month. This action was hailed with approval by business men, for the street has been in mountain- ous condition along some of its length for the past ten days and vehicle could be driven along it, at points, only with the risk of an upset. Numer- ous persons have been dumped out of sleighs while bumping the bumps, e & < Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S for their bodies. @, Ry Amesbury Youths Go Freed”"'# In the city court Thursday morn- ing two young men were up to answer to a cHarge involving their having stolen a ride on a passenger train that reached this city late Wednesday aft- ernoon. They were George Joubert and Joseph Cole, their homes in Ames- bury, Mass., which quiet town of car- riage-making fame they left to seek their fortune. They were in New Ha- ven when they went broke, and they were engaged in an earnest endeavor to get back to the old home town, without meeting transportation costs, when they were rounded up here. Cap. tain Jchn Murray, special railroad of- ficer, who happened to be a passenger on the train, made the arrest. The young men's story went well in court, as it undoubtedly deserved to, and they were given their freedom.
