National Umbrella Week OCTOBER 18th to 23rd To properly observe this event we have put in a pumber of Umbrellas, no doubt the most complete ever seen in Putnam—PLAIN UMBRELLAS, COT- TON UMBRELLAS, SILK UMBRELLAS, BLACK UMBRELLAS, COLORED UMBRELLAS — from popular, prices to the most expensive, from plain handle to the most ornate. N. B—Althongh these Umbrellas were “BORN” in Baltimore, they. can be successfully “RAISED” in Putnam, so we have no hesitation in offering this line for your inspection and consideration. *"DEPARTMENT STORE . d g MONTVILLE company.

Mr. Ames' letter which is & vigorous argument against the league of nations, points out clearly the dangers to this country lurking in the covenant. In view of the contention that the ob- ject of the league is to secure peace, Mr. ‘Ames’ reference to the ‘“peace” now “raging” on nineteen battle fronts in Eu- rope is particularly apt. Mr. Ames refuses to belleve that the constitution of the United States is a dead letter and he protests against its violation, as he does against the tving of the hands of Uncle Sam, which have been used in behalf of humanity more than once. The letter is well worth read- ing—and thinking over after reading.” Mr. Ames is president of the Brown school at Hartford and a member of the state board of education, long one of the best known educators of the state, and from tastes, education and vocation well versed in the history of the United States. “Hold fast that thou _has’- Mr. Ames’ advice in the communication rela- tive to the league of nations which in- epired the foregoing editorial comment.

The body of Father Mavotte is due to arrive in New York from France 4oday (Wednesday). According to information that has been received here, the body is mot expected' to reach Putnam for about a week. In the meantime arrangements have been well worked out by the Legion post for an impressive funeral cortege in which the patriotic societies and the societies of St. Mary's church will par- ticipate. All ex-gervice men have been invited to join with the Legion in doing honor to Father Mayotte's memory, as have the members of the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans, Spanish American War Vet- erans, Red Cross and other organiza- tions. At Monday evening's meeting of the Legion post’ Rev. Charles F. Bedard, pastor of St. Mary's church, was pres- ent and made a statement relative to plans for the funersl, which Wwill be very impressive.

SISTERS AND BROTH: NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful.” We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! : We do not hesitate to-say that a timely use of Castoria would save many of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and sooth= ing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons., In any quantity, they stupify, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death, There can ba no danger in the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas, H.
