To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not_all, of your dandruff will be gone and three or four more applica~ tions will completely dissolve and en- tirely destroy every single sign :and: trace of i, no matter how much dan= druff you may have. s You will find, too, that all’‘itching and digging of the scalp will stop:at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times bétter: You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. 7 GAGER Funeral Dlrector Prompt Service Dav or Niaht d- {800ods company in * (Special to The Bulletin) xd.

When the train cific. store was a few years ago. At that time this was the largest dry eastern Connecti- cut and it was no uncommon thing for customers to come to it all the way from Providence. Later he went to work for N. C. Breckenbridge in a store located on the Wauregan cor- |ner. The store dealt in' tobacco and Yankee. notions and Mr. Brown was en(zt)plo{fid ;.s nhclerk. 'n the death of Mr. Breckenbridge in 1863, Mr. Brown went into bluinde‘ll for himself. He laid a wooden pave- ment of several thousand square yards in, New Haven at the rate of four dollars a square yard: ,Then he started to manufacture wrenches at a little shop on Franklin street, Leav- ing this he entered the employ of the Hall Insurance company and was with them fourteen years. He did impor- tant work for them.in conducting in- vestigations - to determine the exact cost of insuring persons at ages vary- ing from 3 to 100 years. He was em- Pployed as clerk in the probate and se- lectman’s ofices and later went into business manufacturing braideq cord- age. He was located in a building on East Main street owned by the late Edward C. Chappell. He wns there a year when he moved his bus- iness to Montville. After a year and 2 nalf there he moved to Greyville. Later he took charge .of his wife's farm in Coichester and in 1900 he came to Hartford where he has lived ever since. Mr. Brown was born in 1833, the son of Thomas and Rachael Sterling Brown. His father was a descendant of -Peter Brown who came over in the Mayflower, and his mother was related to Lorg Sterilng of the Eng- lish nobilit; Her father was one of the younger sons of Lorq Sterling and came to this country to take up lapd in Connecticut. He was here when the revolution broke out and cast his fortunes with the colonists, serving'in the Continental army during the rev- olution. Mr, Brown has been married twice, the first timg to Miss Mary Lanpheare of ColcheSter who died in 1893, and the second time to Mrs, Da- id Strong of Colchetser. He has no children. Mr. Brown is- a member of all Masonic lodges in Norwich and claims to be the oldest ‘member in years of any of them. In polities, Mr. Brown has always been a republican. He was first se- lectman of the town of Norwich from 1853 to 1858 and from 1882 to 1887. He says- that. he left the office in 1887 under a cloud caused by the statements spread by some of the members of the democratic party that there wags a shortage of $17,000 in his office. A committee of six men,”in- cluding Winslow T. Williams, was ap- pointed to invesu:&te and completely exonerated him. Mr. Brown hag a' number of inter- esting relics.. He has several pleces of sewing which he did when he was but four years old. . They are small pieces of patchwork, very well done. Another treasured relic is a handker- chief with Biblical verses printed up- on it which was presented to him by William C, Gilman, who was superin- itendent of the Sachem Street church Sunday school when Mr. Brown left to go to Bozrahville. He also has a French Quplicate of the famous porce- lain vase unearthed in the ruins. of Pompeif in 1855. There are only half a.dozen of these imifations in the country, The original vase was purchased by the late Mrs. A. T. Stewart at a price reported to be $18000. Mr. Brown secureq his vase from the son of Othniel Gager, a former town eclerk of Norwich. At sixty it was the boast of the son that he had crossed, the Atlantic more times than he had years. He brovght to this country the few imitations that are now here. The imitation vases sold at about $200 aplece. Another relic ‘of which Mr. 1Brown is very proud is a silver wateh made in Tiverpool which was pre- sented to_his father by some friends in 1798. It has been in the Brown family for 122 years, For his’times Mr. Brown traveled widely. He has been in every city of any size in New Epngland and has been south to Philadelphia ind Wash- ington and north to Montreal. When selectman he made many trips with insane people, taking them to institu- tions. "He brought from Norwich one of the first patients to be committed for Waterbury where he will be cu- rate at St. Anne's parish. During Rev. WUU. O. Bellerose’s stay in the south Jesuit Father Levais of Holy Cross, Worcester, will he at the Sacreq Heart church to assist Rev. H. F. Chagnon. Forty hours’ devotions at Sacred Heart church will start with the 10.45. mass on Sunday morning. A very pretty wedding took place at 8.30 o'clock Tuesday morning at Sa- cred Heart church, when Mary A. Phalen, South A street, and Clifford H. Cormier, Norwich avenue, were united .in marriage by Rev. H. F. Chagnon.. The bride was attended by hér Sister, CaCtherine G, Phalen of Southbridge, Mass., and the groom hy his brdther, Joseph Cormier of Central Falls, R.. I. The bride wore a peach-bloom suit of brown, with hat to match and a corsage bouquet of yellow rose-buds. The bridesmaid was gowned in a suit of aqua-marine duvetin with hat to match.-and wore a corsage bouguet of pink rose-buds. After the ceremony breakfast Was|snow melts, served at the bride's home.

The sailor was quict enough for a while, but finally deciding to start some- thing m took an enormous clasp m his pocket and began to sharpen ' it on the sole of his shoe. The other passenger made an eXit that was more hasty than dignified. Mr. Brown was reading that . day's Bulletin and he called the man’s at- tention to an article in it. Whury tile man resched for the paper he lais the knife vn the arm of the seat and crew arrived, armed with clubs and ready to battle’ with the mad man they found the sailor calmly reading The Bulletin and Mr. Brown calmly smoking. £ In spite of his advanced years Mr. Brown’s mind is remarkably clear. He offered to multiply in his head any two numbers The Bulletin represen- tative chose tec give him while the representative did-it on paper. This lookeq pretty good to said represen- tative, but Mr. Brown presented him with the answer almost before he haq time to write the numbers down. This fact is the 'more remarkable considering the little schooling that Mr. Brown received. He attended grammar school ih‘Lebanon, walking four miles each way to gét ta the school. He had one year eof high school work in the high school which was the torer‘lnner of the Academy. It was locatedlon School street and at{ the time whemn Mr. Brown attended had sixty pupils, ‘all boys. George W. Btandish was principal of the schoel at that time, As a boy Mr. Brown wantéd to go to sea but his father changed his mind for him. Moiwich at that tim- was mueh 1207e of & sesport than st pres- ent and one of the whaling vessels Which haileq from there offered Mr. Brown a full seaman’s share (one seventy-fourth) of the catch, if he would go on the voyage and do the mathematical calcuutiong incident to navigation. 1lc did.not go tat ater got a chance lo g~3tify his desire for er taking a Fourth of .fuiy excursion from Norwich to Block Islard allo ed him to take charge of the boai. EX- cursions of this sort were quite the thing in those days, a party being made up for an all day trip. A band was usuaily included and dancing was enjoyed on board during the trip. Mr. Brown’s memories of persons and places in Norwich of a half cen- lury ago are very interesting. He re- members seeing while’ a boy the grandfather of Grover Cleveland who kept a silversmith’s shop in Norwich Town and his mother had a set of si ver spoons which had been made by | him. He distinctly remembers Donald G. Mitchell (Ike Marvel) and William A. Slater. To hig¢ mind Norwich has not changed greatly from what it was in_his buynood.

' General Manager Bannigan, who is in charge of the mills in Norwich and New London, said Tuesday afternoon that those who had walked out were mostly Syrians and Greeks, but that th American weavers were all work- ing and thatabout 90 looms. were run- ning. He said that the walkout was not preceded by any demands as to wages or hours awd that it was in- spired by several agitators among the Syrian and Greek weavers. He con- sidered there were many .among those who walked out who did not want to do so but did net want to oppose their fellow countrymen. For some time past, Mr. Bannigan said there had been indifferent work by some of the employes who wanted big pay but turned out little work and | when - remonstrated with gave management to understand they were doing_all they proposed to do. It had ben i to discharge some of tire empluyes’b«-use of bad work, he said. Mr. Bannigan said the company was willing to take back many of those who walked out Monday, bt it "would vertainly exercise . some choice when it came to saying who would come back. One of the emploves who was in the walkout contingent said Tuesday evening that the trouble was over a new foreman who was unpopuiar. DR. BROPHY WARNS OF Since. the recent snowfall, Dr. E. J. Brophy, the city health officer, calls attention to the increase in the number of cases of grip and. tonsil ari ing from wet feet, .especially in chil- dren, : The health officer advises parents that there is no economy in refusing to buy rubbers and Toots. It is better to spend money in this way than to pay it out for sickness. Wet feet havs undoubtedly caused many iliness. A hot foot hath should be| given as soon as possible to counter- act the effects of wet fect. People in this season should also use the common sense rule of caution | B in coughing and sneezing in public places such, as theatres and trolley cars, as grip and tonsilitis undoubted- ly are spread dn this way. ! There have been no cases of_ influ- enza here yet. But the doctors are very busy and people are urged to get their calls in during the day time, and to remember that the danger from colds and tonsilitis increases as the SPEAKS TO WORKERS X AT SHETUCKET MILL Through the courtesy of the man- agement, the local YoungMen's Chris- conducted. a noon Secretary Edwin Hill had charge of | the singing of several popular songs, after- which Rev, Arthur F.
