LOOK AT TONGUE IF CROSS, FEVERISH OR BILIOUS GIVE “CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS” g By reason of its acces: y from the rear, or riverside, the Charles W. Willard ‘store has been visited by burglars more times than any other store in Westerly. In almost every instance the police have apprehended the burglars and recovered the booty in most cases, but all offenders have not been prosecuted to the limit by reason of the kindly disvosition of the late Mr. Willard. The burglaries be- came so frequent, however, that a burglar alarm system was installed at the big store a few years ago and since there has been no attempt to break and enter the place until the first hour of Saturday. Someone, evidently, without knowl- rdge of the burglar alarm installatién, made a try to get into the store by the back door of the sub-basement The outer door was forced. open, but when the next door was tampered with the burglar alarm was sounded, the gong commenced to bark at quick intervals, the bells were made to ring all ocer the establishment, and their din attracted the attenticn of Polic man _Chase, and aroused frohm their slumbers nearly all who reside in fhe vicinity. Of course, when the burglar larm sounded the intruder made a hasty get-away, and before the police- en could possibly arrive. At the time there was a heavy rainfall, a time usually selected by the burglar who goes aburglaring.
