HARD WORK FOR WOMEN It is a question if women doing men’s work deserve particular sympathy, for it Is doubtful if there is any work that is harder than everyday housework.

Foley Kidney Piils enough for the won- derful benefit I have derived fram their use for a Mt while,” The Lee & Osgood Clerks have heard with satisfaction that the Merchants’ committee of the Chamber of Commerce has endorsed the plan to close the stores of the city Thursday afternoons dquring Juiy and | August. This is in accord with a practice that has been in vogue here for a number of years. COUNTRY WEEK PLANS. Committees Appointed to Provide for Outing for Needy City Children. It may be that many children: from the crowded tenement districts of the East Side of New York will know the joy this summer of living for at least two weeks amid the green-clad hills of old Windham county. This possi- bility is dependent upon the numier of invitations that will be issued by fami- lies willing to have one or more chil- dren from New York as their Juests during a part of the hot weather pe- riod. A representative of a fresh air fund organization has been making the necessary arrangements in this city | and a committee has been appointed here to further the work. This com- mittee is made up of Mrs. W. F. Raf- ferty, Miss Gertrude Perry, Mrs. C. D. Arnold. Miss Clara Larned, Miss Kath- erine Byrne and Miss Bessie Champlin. In Pomfret the work will be directed by Mrs. S. B. Overlock, in Woodstock by Mrs. Herbert W. Bowen. FARE RATES ADVANCED. Government Jacks Up Cost of Train Riding to Three Cents a Mile. Beginning this morning, it is going to' cost more to travel on the New Haven’s lines, for the new government rates become effective today. The flat rate of three cent sa mile is now in force and old tickets cannot be used, this being mentioned that arguments| with conductors be avoided. They don’t make the rates. Such old tickets will be redeemed, however, when pre- sented at a railroad ticket office, Mile- age books purchased prior to Nov, 1, 1917, can be redeemed only at the of- fices of the general passenger agent in Boston. Mileage bought since that date can be redeemed at ticket office at the rate of 2.43 per mile. The advance in rate per mile of travel will jump the Putnam-Danielson | fare to 24 cents instead of the old rate of 20 cents. All other advances here are in proportion. i Troubled About Employment Change. ‘Members of the local exemption board are receiving many inquiries from registrants who expect that they may, be called upon to change their oc- cupation after July 1, in accordance with a recent presidential order. The inquirers are seeking advice as to what they should do about getting into lines of work that tend toward the winning of the war. Business men also are much per- turbed, fearing that their organiza- tions will be broken up by the calling away of their clerks for other work more nearly related to the winning of the war. 3 As yet the local board is without ad- vices of an official nature as to what the rules for obliging a change of em- ployment are to be, so the board mem- bers are not in a posn.wn to pass upon individual cases. To Ballot on Water Supply Matter. Thursday of this week brings an especially important city meeting—the one at whith the voters will be called to pass upon the proposal of appropri- ating §75,000 for an extension of ths city’s wter mains from the pumping station to the city, that Putnam may not again have to face the grave fire hazard that confronted it during the severe weather last winter, when there was a dangerous shortage of water over a period of several weeks.

TG WSKG AT WESTELY L4 ‘Hundreds of interested peoplie wit- nessed and participated in the patri- otic demonstration .of St. Michael's parish at the raising of the service flag with 93 stars, each star repre- senting a member of the parish, and nearly all former members of the pa- rochial school. The exercises were held Sunday afternoon and were ar- rangeq by Rev. Walter J. Lyddy, as- sistant pastor, under the direction of ‘Rev. John J. Fitzgerald, pastor of St. Michael's church, in; the village of Pawcatuck. . There was a street parade under the marshalship of Col. Michael J. Two- mey, formerly of the Third Connecti- cuyt regiment of the National guard. ‘Fathers Lyddy and Rev. E. J. O'Brien of Stonington and other visiting cler- gymen marched in the procession, mu- sic being furnished by the Imperial band of Stonington. In the parade was C company of the Connecticut State guard, a detail of soldiers and sailors, members of the parish, who carried the honor service flag, the Holy Name society, men of the parish, and the boys of St. Michael’s parochial school. At the conclusion of the parade the flag exersises were held in front of St. Michael's church. Hon. George R. McKenna, the chairman, made a spir- ited and patriotic address” He was followed by -Father Fitzgerald, who confined his remarks in the main to the part the people of.the parish were taking in the war and in general war work. The principal address was by Rey. M. J. Ryan, pastor of St. Fran- cig’ church, New Haven, who is chap- lain of the Connecticut State Firemen’s league, the office long filled by Rev. Christ Episcopal- church. in Norwich. Father Ryan emphasized the part that Catholics .are” taking in the United States and_elsewhere in the present great war, just as the Catholics of this country in the war of the Revolution. the war of 1812, the Mexican war and the Spanish-American war. Catholics, true to their faith and traditions, in loyalty to country, are doing their best to defeat the ruthless enemy in . the fight for humanity and .democracy. What has been done and is doing in little Pawcatuck is only a. sample of] States. Included in the exercises were prayer and singing, patriotic airs by the band, and salute to Old Glory by the children of the parish. When the service flag was being raised the band played The Star Spangled Banner, the citizen soldiery standing at. attention, and every man, woman and -child in the large assemblage paid respect to the nation’s flag and to.the.honor and service flag of St..Michael's parish. During the parade the church bell was rung, a stroke for each name on the honor roll. Frank W.
