SEVERE RHEUMATIC PAINS DISAPPEAR Rheumatism depends on an acid in the blood, which affects the muscles and joints, producing inflammation, stiffness and pain. This acid gets into the blood through some defect in the digestive process. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the old-time blood tonic, is very successful in the treatment of rheumatism. It acts directly, with purifylng effect on the blood, and improves the digestion. Don’t suffer. Get Hood’s today.

NORWICH MEDICAL MEN SHOWED FORM IN WESTERLY. Great Rally in Last inning Won Base- ball Game at Annual Clambake. Once again the Norwich medical men accepted the invitation of the Westerly brethren to partake in the annual clambake and outing at Brown’s grove, near Watch Hill, Thursday. The Norwich men were unanim their opinion that the bake wa best ever. After allowing sufficient time for the digestion of the excellent food which had been served, the phy- sicians adjourned to the baseball field, where the Norwich men took sweet revenge for their defeat of last year. In the last inning, with the score 12-11 against them, the Norwich doctors kuocked out eight runs. This was due to a succe: ' and three baggers b: Agnew, Gildersleev Driscoll, Freeman and Brophy. When the Westerly men took their last turn at bat the score was 19-12 against them. They succeeded in getting three men on bases, but the next batter was struck out by Dr., Gildersleeve, who s pitching Norwich, and a rat- ng double pulled oft by Dr Driscoll, Agnew and Gildersleeve wound up the game. At one period of the contest the umpire, who was a Westerly man, threatened to put sev: eral of the Norwich men off the fleld for disputing his decisions. But after the cigars werc passed around dur the heated argument the umpire changed his mind. Dr. Brophy, the Norwich health officer, threatene® fo keep the umpire and ail the Westerly sicians out of Norwich by quaran- tine if they did not retract their deter- nation to put the Norwich men off the field. Dr. Payne, who started to pitch for Westerly, was knocked out of the box and Dr. Scanlon, who took his place, fared only a little better. Dr Tingley was coach for the N Supt.

All through July the five Connecticut countles in which suffrage conventions were held in June were being kept alive on the woman suffrage question. The plan adopted in each county was individual and depended upon the county chairman. But the general ob- ject was the same in all the counties, this object being the complete organ- ization of the whole state previous to the elections in November. The active summer work following the conven- tions began first in New Haven county, and this county is now furthest ad- vanced in its suffrage orsanization. Excellent work is being done in Hart- ford county, where Mrs. Alice Pierson Swetman and her husband, Ralph W. Swetman, are spending their vacation ih suffrage work. Mr. and Mrs. Swet- man, who are working under the au- spices of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage association, are busy stirring up euffrage sentiment in the small and remote towns of the northern part of Hartford county. These towns include Hartland, Granby, Canton, Collinsville and Fnfleld. Enfield is the only one of these towns that has so far been or- ganized for suffrage, and it is accord- ingly not receiving such early atten- tion from Mr. and Mrs. Swetman as the other towns. In Granby, Hartland end Canton, Mr. and Mrs. Swetman began work by a house to house can- vass, and followed this up with public meetings, usually in the open air. They have been supplied by the C. W. S. A. W an automobile, ‘without which their work would be practically im- possible, and they go from one of the small centers of population to another until they have covered the whole of cach township. New London county has not yet had its suffrage convention. It was the desire of Miss Katharine Ludington to have the county fully organiz@ld first ang to hold the convention when or- complete. The meet- will be held in Lyme. With this ing in view, she fixed the date of the coun- ty conventfon for Aug. 23, and in the meantime she and Miss Daphne Sel- den, the orzanizer, are hard at work bringing the suffrage propaganda into every towns.
