Fitzgerald, third vice president of the State Federation of Labor, and I. L. Buteau, representative to the gener- al assembly at Hartford from the town of_Sprague. Routine business was transacted. A notice of motion was given to with- draw the association’s money from the Norwich banks and place it in benks in Providence. This is due to the vagycies of chapter 1296, general statutes. President Harry Johnson was th> first speaker. He said: Fellow wase earners, you have again deemed it ex- pedient that I should be your leader. I shall give of the best that is in me consistant with reason. This organ- ization will be conducted on a business basis. The delinquent rule will be rig- orously enforced. I mention this so that the few back sliders we have will have an opportunity of becoming bet- ter acquainted with their moral obli- gations. It is an abomination that these guileful individuals at pres- ent steeped in the mire of hypocrisy should be allowed to reap the benefits that accrue and vet nev- er raise one finger to help forward the upward trend of humanity. It is a libel upon one of the best corporations in the Textile business and an insult to our fair and thriving village. I urge upon you the necessity of supporting home industries. Right here in town we have union barbers, union bartenders and a union cigar factory. If you indulge in any of these things, see to it that they get a good- Iy- share of vour patronage. Your officers pursuing the policy of last winter, have arranged to have speakers of recognized ability pres- ent at every meeting. and tonight we have a man whose fame has been gained, not in things written and said, but in the arduous greatness of things done. For fourteen years he has been president of the Moulders’ union, of Norwich, and for five years presilent of the Norwich Central Labor union. These achievements are monuments to his influence, loyalty and devotion to the cause of human uplift. T take pleasure in introducing to you Will- fam J. Fitzgerald, of Norwich. William J. Fitzgerald Speaks. Tn response Mr. Fitzgerald said: Mr. Chairman and fellow ware earn- ers: I should not be human did T not feel the depth of your reception. I thank you for it. At the outset, I want to say that wherever your delegates go they are honored and respected _for their manly qualities and ability. They are a credit to your town, and to the firm that employs shem.

A little more than “two years ago, the first bottle of Tanlac, the modern medicine, which has been building up countless thousands of run down men and women throughout the country, was sold in a drug store in Lexington, Ky. From that sale grew a romance of the business world #m-which a million people mow have a personal interest —an _interest 'supreme, because it is based on health. Today this remarkable proparation is being distributed by the carload. In the annals of proprietary medicines nothing has ever remotely ap- proached Tanlac’s instant and tre- mendous leap into popularity. The original company which put Tanlac on the market was completely swamped with orders in six months and found itself unable to introduce las nervousness, Tanlac in sufficient quantity to meet the monster demand. Overwhelmed with the colossal de- mand, it became necessary for the original company to increase the ca- pacity of its laboratories, But now, the thousands of people who have been waiting for Tanlac may share in the benefits of relief experienced through its influence in stomach, kidney, liver and catarrhal ailments and symptoms which arise from these disorders, such dyspepsia, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of flesh, waning strength, distress after eating, consti- pation, blotchy complexion and. offensive and annoy: catarrhal ef- fects like breath, dropping of mxlnz.clu. watery eyes and - constant colds.

Smith, star witness for the government, by Samuel Platt of Reno, Nev., arguing for the defense in the case of Franz Bopp, German consul general here, and others on trial for conspiracy to violate neutral- ity. Smith’s relations with C. C. Crow- ley, a detective employed by the con- sulate and a defendant in the case, were the subject of Platt's attack. “This modern Judas, at the very time he was employed by the German con- sulate, it has been proved, treated with representatives of the British govern- ment in various parts of the country, sélling himself for silver _dollars,” Platt argued. “He clearly had in view getting on the witness stand some day to involve innocent men.” Southington.—All the doctors in town have agreed to increase their rates and they announced Saturday afternoon that a house call hereafter would be $1.50 per call and that a night call would cost $3 per night after 9 p. m.; an office call will cost 50 cents. _— Eighty-seven Years Cld Backache, sore muscles, stiff joints, dark puffs under eyes and bladder disorders are symptoms of diseased kidneys.
