Ask your druggist for an original two-ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (full ltre“lh) and apply night and morning to the swollen, enlarged veins. Soon you will notice that they are growing smaller and the treatment should be continued until the veins are of normal size. <netrating and powerful is Emerald Ofl that it dissolves goitre and wens and causes them to disappear, It can always be secured at Lee & Dsgood’s. 5 : MISS M.

The life-saving station at Watch Hill, now part of the coast guard ser- vice, with Captain 'Walter Davis in charge, while a very beneficial branch of the public service, is an interesting attraction for Watch Hill during the summer season. The, coast happens to be divided into the lucky thirteen number of life-saving districts, =ight being located on.the Atlantic seaboard, one on the Gulf coast, one on the Pa- cific coast, and the other three on the Great Lakes. Each district s in charge of a superintendent. There are three hundred stations along the Atlantic seaboard. Each member of the life-saving crew is required to patrol along the beach in all kinds of weather until he meets a patrol from the next station and ex. changes checks with him, or in =ases where the stations are too far distant from each other or are separated by water until he reaches the key post where he registers in a time clock. On many occasions the lantern globes have been turned into ground glass by the sand whipped against them by the strong wind during a sin- gle trip of the patrol. The red fire cartridges fired by the patrol save an average of 325 vessels from destruc- tion each year. Woesterly, or mors properly Pawca- tuck, which is often referred to as the West 8ide, will be represented in the Barnum and Balley big show this sea- son by Willlam H.

Mr, Purtell has been assigned to see to {t that the very best horses in the outfit are properly shod, and be prepared for any emergency in his line of trade, He commenced worx for the Barnum and Balley company in Bridgeport and his work was =o satisfactory that he was asked to tra- vel with the circus and he accepted the financial inducement offered him. Mr. Purtill worked at his trade in Pawcatuck, Westerly, Boston, Provi- dence, New London and Newport. Narragansett Commandery, Knights Templar, of Westerly, proposes to ob- serve St. John’s Day, June 14, with a fleld day in Westerly and Watch Hill, provided a sufiicient number of com- manderies cooperate and insure the success of the event. The comman- deries at Providence, Woonsocket, New London and Norwich have appointed committees to advise with the commit- tee of Narragansett Commandery in regard to the proposed field day. These committees will meet in Westerly this (Friday) evening, when the matter will be discussed and report will be made later to the several commanderies for definite action. It is understood that the plan pro- vides for a street parade in Westerly in the morning and dinner at The Rhode Island. Then the sir knights will proceed to Watch Hill where a special program will be arranzed for the pleasure of the visitors during the afternoon. Should the plan prevail there will be at least five hundred sir knights to participate in the parade and the subsequent festivities. The special grand jury summoned into the superior court in session at West Kingston, for the purpose of in- vestigating and placing the blame for the five deaths caused by the railroad wreck at Bradford, continued its ses- sion Thursday morning, after hearing the testimony of thirteen witnesses the day before. The witnesses were ques- tioned by Assistant Attorney Generals Abbott and Otis. The testimony was concluded at 12.30 and half an hour later the grand jury indicted Charles H. Mansfield, en- gineer of the Gilt Edge express that crashed into the local train, for man- slaughter, in causing the deaths of Miss Janet Clark of Westerly, and Mrs. Olivia Martell, of Southbridge, Mass. Judge Stearns fixed the bond at $2,500 in each case, a total of $5,000. Copies were issued for the arrest of Engineer Mansfield and he will be brought into court to plead to the in- dictment. He will then be required to Murnish the bond or be committed to Jjail pending trial in the superior court. Attorney Clarence E. Roche, of West- erly, is preparing his argument to a bili of exceptions for a new trial of James Rego Mellow, adjudged guilty of the murder of William Rhodes in the old Kingston railroad session, Jan. 23. The motion for a new trial will be heard before Judge Doran. The arguments will be presented, if possi- ble, before the summer vacation, bnt on ‘account of the large number of as- signments on the calendar, it is prob- able that thé case will go over until early winter. Should the motion be denied, Mellow will be brought into court and sentenced to state prison for life. If a new trial is denied by Judge Doran, Attorney Roche says he will take appeal to the supreme court. Charles Goldberg, through his at- torney, Judge Herbert W. Rathbun, has brought civil suit against Louis Deutch claiming $500 damages in a case of assault and battery. This is an outcome of the row that occurred in the Jewish synagogue, when Gold- berg took possession of his prayer shawl, a candlestick and some hooks which he claimed as his personal prop- erty, and for which Goldberg was ar- rested and penalized upon complaint of Deutch. Goldberg now claims that Deutch was the real offender and has consequently instituted the new pro- ceeding. Edward Blackburn of Westerly and Miss Anastatia G.

Frankln r, was before Judge Stearns, in the superior court at West Kingston, Thursday, relative to pro- curing a transcript of testimony to be used in making an “to su- preme court. He told the court that he and Attorney Mitchell, counsel for Cecil Victor Brown, Spellman’s alleged partner in the crime, had exhausted all efforts to raise the money for mak- ing the transcript. Judge Stearns granted the request to have the tran- accused will have the opportunity to make their appeal to e supreme court. The case of Henry P. Collins against Dr. Henry L. Johnson, which was commenced on Monday in the superior court for ‘Washington county, in ses- sion at Westerly, and transferrea on ‘Wednesday to West Kingston, concluded late Thursday afternoon, when the jury reported a disagreement after deliberating on the evidence for over two hours. This was an action to recover for permanent injuries, al- leged to have been received by the plaintiff being thrown from a wagon, in Railroad avenue, Westerly, when an automobile owned and operated by the defendant struck the wagon and smashed a rear wheel. The accident happened during a rain storm in the night time last December. There was evidence of quite a row in a White Rock boardi house, on Thursday afternoon, when Policeman Chase and Medical Examiner Scanlon arrived there in response to a sum- mons, that there had been a serious fight and that one man had been stab- bed to death. The furniture in the kitchen was di , the cook stove broken and James Barns, had a knife wound in the head. That there had been a disturbance was positively denied, and the injured man declared he recelved the wound in the head ac- cidentally. There was nothing in evi- dence that required the attention of the medical examiner, but the police will make thorough investigation. - Local Laconics.

He said in part: “I want to con- gratulate you on the victory you are going to have next fall in voting for no license. From the figures of the last three years I can see if you make the same gain porportionally next year you will carry the town for no license by a large majority. You are not go- ing to sit down and do nothing as since last year the whole world has Joined in the campaign. You have got the whole of Europe on your side. The Czar of Russia says that he is better off with his nation in the fleld and is not loosing as many men in battle as he was by being slain by the liquor traffic. The country is bet- ter off financially. England said that she has three foes, Germany, Austria and the liquor trafic. Do you think the people of Willimantic are going to back down on a job like that? You are going to drive king alcohol out of the state. Men and women have got to get off the fence and take sides. If they can't get out into the trenches and fight they can at least furnish the ammunition. Take the economic side of the liquor traffic. It is a wonder it has lasted as long as it has. In the state of Con- necticut about half is dry territory: and 81 per cent. of the people live in no license territory. You know every effort is being made, those of you who Newl|was in Chaplin live in dry towns, to carry liquor into the dry town, yet there is more liq- uor sold illegally in license towns than in dry towns. Last year the public reports show that the total amount received from licenses in Connecticut in 1914 was one million six thousand dollars. For poor relief f the state one million and forty-eight dollars was spent in this state more than the total amount re- celved. Connecticut leads all states in the Union in pauperism. icut leads all states in crimes against ‘womanhood. It is not only dollars against dollars but it is dollars against humanity. For one hundred and twenty dollars the state receives for license it must fur- nish one boy. Every saloon takes out of the com- munity from eight to ten thousand dollars every year. To close up a sa- loon it takes just forty dollars. The liquor traffic voted twenty million dol- lars last year to fight the combined forces of Christian Commecticut. At the conclusion of Mr. Solandt's takk Rev. Mr. Lanphear John Barleycorn, Goodbye, after ch he addressed the meeting. He sald in part: We people are not so much against the drink habit, but we are against the liquor traffic. If you des- troy the liquor traffic you will take carq of the drink habit. All my long life directly or indirect- Iy 1 have been cursed by the saloons of Willimantic. My bome friends used to visit these saloons. As a pastor in Mansfield I found the trail of the serpent in many homes. If the saloons in Willimantic were wiped out this corner of the te would be dry territory. In spite of all this we are making progress as far as breweries and dis- tilleries are concerned. In the year 1915, 108 distilleries went out of busi- ness; 2 breweries also went out of business in this country. The pro- duction of distilied liquors aside from those produced from fruits fell off some 41 gallons. The consumption of liquors fell of six miillion gallons. In malt liquors the production fell off some fourteen million gallons. Pro- hibition does prohibit. Connecticut 1 am sorry to say is not in the van guard of this move- fent. Just fifty one years ago the Connecticut Temperance Union was organized. Connecticut in times past was in the front rank. But we are not at the present time. In the last seven sessions of the legislature the liquor ‘people have gotten six bills through the legislature. We have gotten forty- three bills through.
