The Sterling Peppermint is a product of the choicest, smoothest-flavol of these many mint varieties. is extracted from the Cassia bush which grows in the tropics.

Just why two or three men, no mat- ter how influential, should stand as a bar against a public improvement that is for the benefit of the majority and in the interest of ihe town and borough is something that many of their fellow citizens cannot un@er- stand. The opposition of a very few men, less than half a dozen, is claim- ed by many to be holding up the im- provement of Main street, northward from the southerly end of Davis park to the borough boundary near Davis switch. These men are opposed to sewer extension through that section of Main street and no state highway will be bullt until the sewer has been g Thormometer Benofit. A. P.

It is of very special interest to note that reports covering matters pertain- ing to Connecticut jails during the last year show that, while the Wind- ham County jail received less than 5 per cent. of the prisoners arrested in Connecticut, the earnings of the pris- oners confined in t ail were 20 per cent. of the earni the prisoners in jails in Connecticut the Windham County jail, as usual, easily made the best financial show- ing of any of the jails in the state, and in other ways the jail was just as sat- istactorily managed and maintained as any other.

These natives also were the authori- ty for the statement that 30 or 40 of Villa’s men were killed and that the same number of horses were captured.
