Take things as easy as you can. Send for your doctor and take something for_your bowels. While waiting for the doctor, rub Mustarine on throat and chest. ~This is good advice, as any druggist will tell you, and . besides stopping the aches and pains that mayv be present will subdue the intermal inflammation Doctors prescribe Mustarine for ton. militis, sore throat, pleurisy, bronchitis and chest colds. Just rub it on. It will not blister and It is far better th a mustard plaster and Is always re: to use. OS5 PAIN USTARIN SN0 £ DR. F. C.

HAIR GETS BEAUTI- FUL, WAVY AND THICK IN FEW MOMENTS It you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparable soft- Danderine. one applieation doubles the beauty of vour hair, besides it imme- dissolves every particle of dan- druff; you cannot have nice, heavy hair if you have dandruff. This de- structive scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very life, and if not overcome it produces a feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die: then the hair fals out fast. If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or to oily, get a small bottle of Knowlton‘s Danderine at any drug store or toilet counter for a few cents; apply a little as directed, and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made. We sincerely believe, regardless of everpthing else advertised, that if you desire soff, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of it — no dandruff — no itching scalp and no more falling hair — you must use Knowlton's Danderine.

Berris has _purchased from Bradley & Gorman of Putnam the business block on Main street next to the Danielson Trust company building. This building, years ago, was . the Methodist parsonage. Herbert H. Smith, a representative of the department of camp music, is to address the members of the Kil- lingly Woman’s club at the high school assembly hall Wednesday evening, af- ter a reception in his honor.

At a business meeting of Trinity Orthodox Greek church the following committee was elected, this being the general committee of the congrega- tion: John Savas, John Vaciliades, Peter Senopolus, James Desmand: Alexander Casaris. George P. Berris, Who has been a prominent worker in the committee that is retiring, stated Monday: that the manner in which the effort to establish a Greek church here has been supported by the American people has won the admiration of the members of the church. Mr. Berris, who has retired from the committee on account of his health, said that personally it has been his dream to sec a church for his people established in n, and that this is about 10 be realized, as the new edifice will be opened at an early date. He deeply appreciates all that the people of Danielson have done to make the es- tablishment of the church possible. Mr.. Berris announced the following recent gifts to the church: Brooklyn Savings bank $30, Jacobs Manufactur- ing company $30, Back & Darbie-$30, A G. Bill $5. At St. Joseph's church in Dayville Monday morning . Miss Jennie E Reddy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Redd. ayville, and Sergeant Richard 7. 8. A, were united v. Ignatius Kost. Bsther Holly of Dayville and Ed- ward McNeil of Forest s were the attending couple. The bride wore a traveling suit of blue. Sergeant and Mrs. Ryan left during the day for a wedding trip. Mrs. Ryan is a_grad- uate of Kil v High school, class of 1908, and for several vears has been a member of the clerical staff at the Windham County National bank. As Sergeant Ryan, whose home is in West Quincy, Mass, nd who, after over- seas duty, med as an instructor Camp Lew near Tacoma, Wash,, is engaged with h military duties, Mrs. Ryan will remain at her home, retaining her position in ‘Danielson. “We v with alarm,” used to be a favorite expression in one of the great political party's platforms in discussing impending legislative possi- bilities, and it was brought into play again in this town and other towns of the district Monday; when democratic electors who vote license viewed the name of their candidate for senator, Attorney Eric H. Johnson, of Putnam, in the prohibition party column on ballots such as are to be used official- ly today. This official placing of At- torney Johnson's name on the ballot as the prohibition candidate, as well as in the democratic column, removed the last trace of doubt in the minds of these voters as to where he stands on the proposed prohibition legislation, and these democratic license voters say that it means he will lose their support, which will be thrown to® the republican candidate. Loyal democrats are sputtering now that such a nomination was “put over on them,” but say it is too late for them to do other than use every ef- fort to defeat the candidate that their party named at a convention attend- ed by a handful of delegates who wera little interested at that time in what the candidate might do about prohibi- tion. Many democrats in i who oppose prohibition say they not vote for Attorney Johnson under any circumstances, and that in refus- ing to do so they are doing no more than is their right as free electors of the town. In an interview Monday afternoon, Chairman E. L. Darbie of the Killing- Iy republican town committee defend- record of the republican party Connecticut during the war as hly loyal, efficient and effective and pointed fo various legislative acts of a war nature to substantiate his state- mient. The last legislature, which was republican, passed the state military census bill, the bill creating the state guards and other such measures, which were given precedence over all other pending legislation and hurried through the legislature. “There_is no ground for the demo- crats of Killingly to claim that Presi- dent Wilson will be in any way aided in carrying out his policies by elect- ing democratic representatives from Killis y,” Mr, Darbie said. ‘Splitting tickets to help some local demoecrat may result in ballots being thrown out as improperly marked and hurt the entire ticket of the republican party. We are looking for the united support of their ticket by the republicans of Killingly.” There will not be any election re- turns at the Bohemian club this even- ing and tie practice of years of re- ceiving such returns and giving them out to the public has had té be aban- doned because the telegraph and tele- phone_companies have not.a sufficient force of operators to handle the special work. The directors of the Windham County National bank voted'a contri- bution of $200 to the united war work drive which opens Monday of next week. This is an increase of $30 over what was given by this institution to the Red Cross drive in the spring, and the increase was made, it is under- stood, because of the larger fleld of endeavor in which the in the coming drive is 16 bé w The local ittee of the war werk campalag, of whieh Jadge M - ENGTa: way is rman, announces a. for this (Tuesday) evening at 7.80. # meeting is to be heid ir the apditerfum | Dyer street.

Burinl was ir. Grove Street cemetery, where the cominittal service’ of the Elks was conducted. There were beautifal floral remsmbrances. Putnam’s democrats who are in- terested in that phase of the present election were surprised Monday when they saw fac simile ballots for the clection showing the mam> of Attor- ney Eric H. Johnson as candidate for senator in the prohibiti partv's col- umn. Attorney Johnson is also the democratic didate for senator, and his prohibiticn stand does not find favor in Putnam with the demoerats who are against prohibitior.

Members of Putnam Red Cross chapter have issued a warning 1o théke entitted to send Chriztmas pack- ages to fighting men overseas, that they must not follow mailing direc- tions printed on the -offitial's labels which are now being ressived in this country. There is an érror in the di- rections, so those who are to send packages are advised to vonsult with Red Cross workers befor: maliling the packages.
