MOSES A. BERTHIAUME, 126 Main Street, Danielson, Conn. Mrs. John Warner of Mil- years shows that there has been much business for Danielson’s court, in dry as well as in wet periods, and that right patrol cannot be dispensed with under any rcumstances. Starting something has become a reprehensible habit in Danielson, and the suggestion that Danielson can get along without sts police protection is in line with the habit. Danielson could get along, es it could without electric lights, street telephones and numerous other that cost money, but Danielson sn't want to, if the opinion of those who pay the bills is worth anythins, up and down the business section, .

A canning demonstration, under di- rection of Miss Charlotte Embleton, home economics director for the cou ty, was held at St. John's hall, Prov dence street,’ Thursday evening. The demeonstration was one feature of the country-wide canning campaign that has been under way for several weeks and which has resulted in scores of thousands of quarts of vezetables and !’ru“s being preserved for the com- ing winter, Thursday Hall. PREPARE FOR REGISTRATION Members of Local Board to Have All in Readiness, Probably for Septem- ber 5th, Anticipating that the passage of the 15-45 selective service law is assured, and acting upon advices that have been received from officials’ quarters, the members of the local board for this district commenced Thursday preparing the registration maohinery that it may be ready for as early as September 5, which, it is now ex- pected, will be registration day. _ The task that confronts the board is a large one, and, in accord with war department suggestions! a list of men who will be asked to serve as registrarg in the different towns of the districts _has been practically com- pleted. The task that' will be asked of these men is to work as did the Tegistrars on June 5, 1917, for one day. These registrars are sought to work voluntarily by the government, but they will be paid if they request it. The town clerk of each town of the district will be requested to serve as a supervising registrar and an effort will be made to have a sufficient num- ber of additiona] registrars to care for the work to be done without im- posing too heavy a burden on anvone. In addition to the registrars there will be need of interpreters who speak at least one language of several for- eign tongues that are in use in this district. The board has listed a large percentage of French-speaking regis- trars for the towns of Putnam, Kil- Academy strest, Rev. M. S. Stocking ot the Methodist church officiating. Burial was in Westfield cemetery. Accumulating Wood for Fuel. Hundreds of cords of wood have been accumulated in Danielson against the possibility of coal shortage this winter. That this is good preparation is indicated by statements emanating from the office of the fuel administra- tor at Hartford that communities that are close to a big supply of wood will not be likely to receive any surplus amount of ecoal, altbough as much as possible of this kind of fuel will be gotten through to them. REGISTRARS NOMINATED ¥ For New Enroliment, Probably Sept. 5th, It was stated Thursday that the following in Danielson have been nom- inated for registrars for enrolling the men who are expected to register for military_service, probadly on Sept. 5: Frank T. Preston, town clerk; Harry E. Back, F. E, Cunneen, A. P. Wood- ward, Sabin S. Russell, Moses Ber- thiaume, Jr., George F. Davignon, Dr. L. J. Morin, D. E. Jette, Alfred L. Reed. Additional registrars will be nom nated for the other two voting districts of the town, Dayville and East Ki lingly, and it probably will be neces< sary to add more in Danielson, ' that the work may be easy for all on Two Test Cases Editor of “Physicisn’s Who's Who” Makes Important Statement. Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- uaily being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fieshy, develop- Ing arms, neck and bust. and replacing ugly holiows and angles by the sSoft, cutved lines of health and, beauty, there are evidently thousands' of men and Wwomen who keenly feel their excessive thinness, . Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our hodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians clatm there is nothing that will supply this defi- ciency so weil as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phos- phate. which is inexpensive and is soid Lee & Osgood and most alj drug- sts under a guarantes of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by syppiying the body cells with the nedessary phosphoric 004 elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing, inical tests made in St. Catherine's hospital. N, Y. C. showed that two patlents gained in weight 23 and 27 pounds, respectively, through the ad- ministration of this organic phosphate: both patients claim they have not felt ENING THIN PEOPLE ITH BITRO-PHOSPHATE e e e e ——— as strong and well for the past twelve vears. ‘This Increase in weight also carries with it a_general improvement in the health. Nervousness, slesplessness and lack of 2nergy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon dis. appear, dull eygs become bright, and pale cheeks giow with the bloom of perfect health, Physicians and hospitals evarywhere are now recognizing its merits by its use in ever increasing quantities. Fred- erick Kolle, M. D., editor of New York Physician’s “Who's Who,” says: “Bitro- Phosphate shomld be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital to increase strength and nerve force and to errich_the blood.” Joseph D. Harrigan, former visiting specialist to North Eastern Dispensa- tory, says: “Let those who are wealk, thin, nervous, anaemic or run-down,| take a natural, unadulterated strength and tissue building substance such as bitro-phesphate and you will soon see some astonishing results in the increase of nerve enersy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance.” CAUTION: — Although Bitro-Phos- is unsurpassed for relieving ner- ess, sleeplessness , and _general W 5 owing to - its remarkable flesh_growing properties it should not be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh. lingly and Thompson,. where there is a heavy percentage of French-speak- ing people in the population. Polish and Italian interpreters also will be sought, so that the work of the res- istrars may be made to run as smooth- 1y as possible. No man who is requested to serve as a registrar by the exemption board is obligated to do so, but such a re- quest will come to him as in line with patriotic duty and his work will be a contribution toward the winning of the war.

OVER THE TOP TWICE William Oakes, Former Ashland Club Star, Writes of Thrilling Experi- ences, The following ‘interesting letter was received by John Oakes from his brother William, in * France. Last summer he was the star player of t Ashland ball club. Somewhere in France, July 11, 1918, Dear Brother: I received your let- ter ten days ago, but have had no time to write as we have just come back today from the front line. We went over the top twice curing our thirty-eight days up there, the last time on July first. I suppose you read about it in the papers the next day. We took: five hundred prisoners and killed as many more. My tent- mate was killed only a few feet from me. He was a fellow from New York. T was hit twice by shrapnel but was lucky not to have it hurt me; it only stung for a couple of minutes. 1 was covered up for a few minutes from a big shell that caved in the trench around me. The sergeant who was Y |and_at one time made her home on zained about a mile and a half alto- sether in both fights. It's a greal game, believe me, We took a Polish priest prisoner and he was the happiest man on carth, He said he had been trying to escape for two years. He had been drafted to serve in the German army. We also got a doctor and six officers. Iam on my way to a rest camp now and feel fine, only for a few cooties that are playing tag on my back, and they sure can bite! T fouhd my pack with my extra clothes up in a tree, where it had been blown by a burst- ing German shell. I lost my Red Cross bag and razor, but it didn’t take long to get things that belongzed to someone that don’t need them any more! 1 got a letter from Uncle Jerry just befors 1_went over, also three from Grace. ' Harold Brickley's division re- lieved mine, but I did not see him, but I tried hard to. He is with old Massachusetts Fighting Ninth, now called the One Hundred and First In- fantry. I spent the Fourta of July ditch, keeping away from German shells. They don't send out gas Bow, [ think they are all out of it. I hope so. I remain your brother. WILLIAM E. OAKES. Letter From Walter Benjamin. Solomon Paquette has received a letter from Walter (Bub) Benjamin from somewhere in France. He tells of seeing young Jarvis from Jewett City and says he is acting as a French interpreter. He tells of writing Har- old Prickley, but had heard nothing from him. He had heard that a iarge part of his regiment had been wiped out, but believed Harold had had good luck. There has been some awful bombing the last few days and they say 1ots of‘the Huns were killed. They used to raid us quitd often but are cutting it out some now. I am working an aeropianes, some of | us week diy and night, to get a bunch in a of planes ready for the front. We are sure going to hand the kaiser all he. wants. We have one of the best aviation fields in France. When we arrived there was nothing here. We had to build bunks to sleep on at nigh:. We have now teen complimented for our | eld, by General Pershing and other high officials. There is a fellow flying out now doing all kinds of stunts. 1 was picked to play on an all-star ball team against the champions of France and got a three-bagger and brought in two runs.

He tells about Paris visits and in- quires for all the Jewett City boys in the service. Mail Delayed.
