Month With Two Boxes Ointment and TwoCakes Soap. Cost$1.50. . Palmer C. Chabman talked business to the Westerly town councilmen at the regular meeting of the town coun- clil, Monday. _He spoke in regard to the damage done his property . at School :and - George streets, by reason of the stone wall when the grade of the street was changed, sev years ago. He said this matter had' been before many councils and he was before the present council ask- ing-that something be done that should have ‘been done long ago. It costs money to engage attorneys, he said, and he hoped the matter would - be amicably adjusted, and without re- sort to jaw. President Maurice W. Flynn stated that when the mattsr was up before another council, the town solicitor re- ported that it was the duty of the town ) clusively to put that wall in good condition, and that then the wholo matter was re- ferréd to the highway commissioners. Mr. Chapman said 1t ought not to be necessary for him to hire a lawyer in order to get a reply from the town solicitor as to what the town was to do in the premises. He was not seek- ing legal complications and that the easlest and fairest way of settlement was the best way. Pregident Flynn asked Mr. Chapman if he had taken the matter up with the highway commission. Mr. Chapman replied that he had, and was referred by the commission to the town council. Councfiman Haswell said that un- der the law, the highway commission was given all the power that was formerly with the town council, and therefore the settlement of Mr. Chap- man’s claims was with the commis- sion. Mr. Chapman sald there was no need for litizgation as it was plain that the responsibility for fixing the wall undermined was up to the town, and he quoted the law to sus- tain the statement. He would be sat- isfied to have the wall put back in as good condition as 1t was before be- ing_undermined. Mr. Chapman was advised to take the matter up with the highway com- mission, and the town solicitor was requested to give the matter his at- tention. tion For Special Town Meeting. !-u——nun Bourdon A.

Bliven, of the Bliven Opera house, on ground that he was handi- capped, by unfair competition, state- wise, asked that he be given the ben- fit of the new law in regard to license for places of amusement.

Babcock Relected to Water Board—Twelve Arrests Tristan D. Backcock, the minority or democratic member of the water biard, was re-elected for a term of three years. For the first time since the creation of the board the members rceelve a salary, the chairman, $500, and the other two, $250 each. The rea- son for this salary is the additional duties as members o fthe sewer com- mission, also. Albert N. Crandall was appoint- ed_building it without pay, in compliance with law. No duties for such an officer are defined in West- erly, therefore Colonel Crandall, who has been repeatedly appointeq to the office has never qualified. Five milk licenses were granted subject to the approval of the milk inspector. The report of Thomas E. Brown, chief of police, showed a dozen arrests during the first month of the year, as follows: For intoxication, 5: break- ing and entering, 2: lewd and wanton persons, 2: idle persons, 3.

'This mat- ter was brought up at a special town meeting held August 15, 1912, and a vote was taken authorizing the sale of whatever right or tract the town had in this island.

Several appli- cants were not after the licenses for themselves, but for others who had been refused. At the meeting on Monday applications were ived from Raphael Cosento for license at 101 Canal street, and from Christopher Ferrari for 82 Oak street. The appli- cants were given leave to withdraw. Ed. L. Gavitt, tree warden, desired to take Old Time by the forelock, and stated to the council that in view of the change of date in the fiscal year, which reqi*ted the annual financial town meeting to be held in February instead of May, he was on deck to ask that the appropriation for the care of shade trees be not reduced. President Flynn assured him the matter would receive the consideration of the coun- cil at the proper time. He added that owing to the sudden change in finan- cial town meeting date, that Town Treasurer Pendleton could not possi- bly be prepared to make a financial report which would have to serve as ‘Robert J.

Berlin, Feb. 5, 6.45 a. m., via Lon- don, 9.20 a. m.—The morning news- Papers treat the break in diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany as a matter of great gravity but ell the editoriils are pitched in a calm and moderate tone. The avoidance of insulting language and cutting epithets is no- ticeable. Most of the newspapers say the news created no surprise, some of them explaining that this step was expected in view of President Wil- son’s message of last April and others that it was anticipated in view of the president’s “continual siding with the entente since the war began” All the newspapers strongly reject the impu- tation that Germany has broken her. promise made in her note of 4, laying si upon the fact that Ger- many’s promise was expressly condi- tioned on President Wilson'’s success in breaking- England to an observ- ance of tbe laws of nations.

OU'VE probably noticed that rather “oily heaviness” so com- mon to many of even the most ex- pensive cigarettes. - That’s bound to exist, no matter how the tobac- cos, if the tobaccos are not l:lcndad just right to correct it. Of course, such cigarettes can never be comfortable. Fatimas, on the other hand, are comfortable. The milder tobaccos in their Turkish blend are in such perfect balance with the richer, ful- ler-flavored leaves as to entirely off- set all of that “oily heaviness” which makes so many other cigarettes un- comfortable. With your first e of Fatimas you’ll reahze how genuinely eomfort- able a cigarette can be. A Sensi ‘ble CLgarelz‘e g
