TODAY’S WATCHWORD —Sickness Prevention The guiding inspiration of modern medical science is Sizkness Prevention. As thisidea has worked itself out, smallpox, choléra, yellow fever and other in- fectious diseases already have given way. And science has finally developed an effective agent against the plague which is the originating point of over 90%. of . disease. That plague is constipation, and that agent Nujol. The dangers of constipation are so widespread because by reducing the body’s power of fesistance through self-poison- ing it makes it-easier for any disease to develop. Nujol by relieving constipation prevents the absorption of the poisons which otherwise would be taken into the blood and infect the whole system. g : Leadjng medical authorities agree that pills, salts, castor oil, etc., simply force and weaken the system. Nujol softens the food waste and encourages the intestinal muscles to act naturally. Nujol helps Nature estabilsh easy, thorough bowe! evapt- ation at regular intervals—the healthiest habit in the world. Get a bottle from your druggist today.

The news. that the Fall River-New Bedford textile strike had been settied was received here with elation by a great many people, for it was feared that it would affect local industries.

Today, December 3, is day of Mrs. Harrfet Cidy Griggs, of Plainfield, formerly of Brookiyn. Mrs. Griggs roufds out her four - score years in excellent health, considering her advanced age, which no one would suspect, by the way, and looks upon life with that fine optim!sm and cheery t promises well that she shall be jbered among those few who attain to the dlatiaction of being centénarians, Though Mrs. Griggs’ birthday is not until today, her chlidren, grandehil- dren and great-grandchildren planned a little birthday dinner in her honor, last Saturday evening, The évent was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Leavens, in Wauregan, and it prov- ed to bé a thorough surprise for Mrs. Griges. Persuaded to come out into the rag- ing storm from her comfortable home in Plainfield, where she lives with her daughtér, Mrs. Jennie Lewis, on the pretéxt that relatives from Hart- ford were at the Leavens home to see her and wanted her at disner, she smilingly complied a&nd arrived at Wauregan to find every one of her children and their children and the children’s children preseat to greet and aeclaim her. The fivg children are Mrs. Jennie Lewis, Mrs. I. C, Leavens, Mrs. Mar~ tha Kimball of Bridgeporl. Sabin of Hartford and Clement of Huntington. Nine grandchildren and two _great grandchilldren were includeéd in the list of 22 that sat-down to the feast. A handsome bouguet of two.dezen car- nations, the gitt of ‘Hayeld Grant of Hartford, one of the guests, addéd to the beauty of the table decorations. A wondetful’ birthday eake, with 80 pink candles, was ‘oneé of the gifts to Mrs. Griggs, who alsd rédeived a gold watch as a gift from heér chil- dren, this being nresented to her at the clase of the dinnef. An evening of delightful entertainment followed the -dinner party, which did not énd until nearly midnight. Mrs. Grigss was born in the tdwn of Pomfret and this part of Windham county, being a resident 6f Brooklyn for many years. One in a series of epecial articles; being run in a New York paper, and dealing with efforts of big industrial concerng ta bring their employes iato closer touch with the concerns that employ them, to the end that there shell be greater co-operation, more contentment, bigger pay for the work« ers and superfor living conditions, deals with the great Goedyear Tire and Rubber ‘company of Akroa, O., which has commeniced a really won- derful development of the village of Goodyear in this town. At Akron 17101 of the 25,000 em- ployes are stockholders in thé com- pany and own $7,700,000 . worth of stoek, which they are paying for in $4 monthly instaliments. Scores of the opefatives at the plant-in this town also are stockholders in the Goodyear Cotton Mills cémpany and in the stock of the parent company at Akron, where wonderful things are be- ing donme in the interest of the ems ployes.

The wage increasds for the toach- érs wéré decidtd upon following a pe- tition from the teachers in ich niore money was asked. The petition wae gighed by members of the high school faculty. ~The town school committee gave careful and lengthy consideration -to the request<of the teachers for addi-- tional compensation and fAnally unani~| - mously decidéd that the request should he granted. ¢ guperintendent of schools, the principal of the high schod! and the sub-master at the high school are to recelve advanceg at the rate of $250 per year. The high schoel teachers are to be given increakes of 15 per cent. over their present salaries and the teachery in the common, or graded, schools of the town are to receive an increase of 10 per cent. in their sal- aries. All of these increases are to he effective from December 1 of this year, A ‘member of the school committee | stated Tuesday afternoon that the or- ganization, after carefully congdidering the guestion from every angle, hall declded that the teachers must be given an increase unléss the commit- teo desired to assume the risk of hav- ing its efficient teaching organization broken up through teachers leaving| teaching | to accept’ more money for in other towns. Teachers were con- stantly receiving such offérs, thiscom- mitteeman said, ang the slender hold that any school committee has on its teaching staff did not warrant deny- ing them an advance to which® it seems they are justly entitied. The teachers set forth In their pe- tition that the cost of Hving at its best estimate is comclusively proven by statisticlans to have {ncreased since 1914 by 103 per cent, whereas the teachers of flve years' experience in Putham High schoot have had in- creages -of salary amounting to ap- roximately 29 per cent, and thereby ave. 18st about 74 per cent. in the pur¢hasing value of their money. The teachers further pointed out that while not a single teacher shows an increase in salary in so far as pur- chasing - power s concerped, there is also to be considered that no im- creases have been allowed op the basis of expérlence, and tlierefore greater value to the téwn goes unrecognized. The salary incroasés just authorized by the town school cmmittee will ad- just the compensation question for at least a year, it ig hoped, it was stated on_Tuésday by one of the members of the school board. The committes has also decided to introduce military training for the boys at Putnam High school and to maks this part of the course ¢ompul- gor#®. ~ This is in line with what is be- ing done in some of the colleges and many of the finest high schools of the Uniteq .
