At times, the attacks would be very severe, accompanied by Dizziness and Violent Headackes. I took medicine and laxatives the whole time, but as soon as I discontinued the treatment, my bowels would refuse to move. Last October, I wentto Montreal and there heard of ‘ Fruit-a-tives’. I used one box and the results were so pronounced that I bought two dozen ‘boxes. I continued using ‘Fruit-a-tives® and noticed a decided improvement. 1 gradually reduced the dose from threes ' day to one fablet every three or four days until the twenty-four boxes were finished when my physical condition was perfect”.

Again, I say, the time may come some day when the failure of the three fire companies to respord to the same call will result in a disastrous fire in Westerly, and ths |loss would more than compensate the measely $5 paid the operator of the fire spparatus, believe me. The actual practice given the firemen by respond- ing to all calls is worth tke price to the fire district.” The December meeting of the West- erly Historical society, held in the Memorial and Library ~ building, was largely attended by members and guests and was one of the most inter- esting since its organization five years ago. The president, Ethan Wilcox, pre- sided and the feature of the mceting was an exccedingly interesting paper read by Everett Barns, now of the Washington Trust company, with steamboat experience, and who has al- w. feature of { avigation r. Barns’ paper was Early Steamboat ’[ Navigation on the Pawcatuck River. Mr. Larns commenced with the stcam- er Novelty, built by Sprague Sarber in 1840, and made reference to cvery Steamboat that plied the river down to the present new steamer Westerly. Mr. Barns not only told of the goneral character of the steamers, their size and tonnage, but also of their, final disposition. During the reading of his paper he exhibited pictures of many of the steamers, which served to illustrate his_excellenf paper. Mr. Barns has perhaps the most complete collection of steamboats that were known in tois secticn, including the Long Island sound lines, that is in existonce. He interjected In his paper many of his personal experiences on steamboats, that greatly added to the interest. The paper was penerally discussed, and personal expe: introduced by Elisha C. Stillman, Colonel Whipple, William Segar, Kennedy and other: At the preceding meeting President Wilcox was_elected chairman of the summer outing committee and he v authorized to appoint his associates. | He announced the committee as fol- lows: Rev.

The other officers elected are as follows: Savies B. Steere of Chepachet, worthy master; ‘P. H. Wessell of Rhode Island State college, Kingston, lecturer; J. C.

An appropriation of $50 was made for prizes to be given as grange prizes it agricultural fairs in the state, -nd $50 for prizes at the Rhode Island Iruit show. A class of 45 candlidates received the :ixth degree and they were subse- |dentiy entertained at a banquet; More than 300 members of the order attend- cd the exemplification of the degree work. One feature of the many disputes be- tween the Caplans and Lalimas was aired before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court Friday. This is an action of trespass and eject- ment brought by Abraham Caplan against Rosie Lalima, and affects the dividing line of lands of plaintiff and defencant in Canal street. It was shown that the defendant built a barn on land of plaintiff and subsequently. removed it, and that a fence erected by plaintiff had been removed by or- ders of defendant. It is a mixcd up mess, the one side believing that the other is encroaghing on the land of each other. At the opening the court consented to view the premises after hearing the testimony and arguments by Mr. Ledwidge for plaintiff and Mr. Rathbun for defendant, and in conse- quence decision was reserved.

The president was appointed a committee to-investi- gate and it was ascertained thut the pictures being shown in Westerly were not authorized by Mr. Sunday and that the manager of the local theatre where the pictures were being exhibited would reccive a legal warning not to show the pictures on the screen,’as the pic- tures were unauthorized. But the or- chestra played ané the pictures went on just the same- local ministers, and_perhaps Mr. Sunday, had opirion that the scenes were taken in the Boston ta- bernacle, or at a reception of a semi- private nature in Utica, hence the in, vestization and subzequent warning. As a matter of fact, the pictures were takern at a public open air meciing in Philadelphia, and evidently without his consent or approval.
