LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Editor of Ne,cs !:

Editor Qf Ners:
 l have noticed occasionally in your paper complaints of the lack of interest in Canaan's welfare. and the general tone of conversation when men meet is; the decadance of business. and decline of values of farm and other property, with the query, when will business prosperity bloom" again.
 It seems to me that with the advan. tages Canaan has in location and ease of access, with good hotel and town hall, that little enterprise on the part of your business men might get up an in- terest in one or two projects that wonld break up the monotony in this section of our county and bring little bu, iuess to Canaan; or at least show that we are not ss dead as we look. Project 1st is this: The Connecticut Board of Agriculture has prepared 8 program on certain interesting topics They provide speakers who are gentle men connected with our state institu- tions, Conn. Experiment Station and Storrs College, and who speak of what they know on their subjects, of interest to every land owner. These gentlemen will give their services free of expense provided suitable hall is provided for them to address an audience in. Why not arrange to have a days meeting in Canaan and invite the farmers from the neighboring towns?
 Ploisct 2i: Why not have a poultry show in Canaan? There are probably as many poultry fanciers, who breed good stock in this northwest part oi our county and Southern Berkshirs as in any section of our state Invite them to meet in your town. give them the use of your ball and ask them te meet there and organize. and shov some interest in what is. or ought to be . thriving industry in our midst l It seems to me, Mir Editor, that ar interest taken along these lines woule be productive of more good to the com munity, than the organization O dancing schools, or the promoting o cheap shows, or vaudeville perform ances that take money from the com munity and usually are of doubtful morality. and that leave "a bad taste il the mouth" the next morning.

MANY mothers are sickly, fretful, helpless
creatures tortured beyond endurance by
the pains of their own wrecked constitu-
tions. An ambitious youth receives but
little encouragement or sound advice
who appeals to such mother. Most ILL.,
health among women is due to weakness
and disease of the organs distinctly tem1-

eased the entire system suffers.
The most wonderful remedy for all
weakness and disease of the distinctly fe-

Prescription. It a1lays inflammation,
soothes pain and imparts vigor and health
to these delicate organs. 1t makes
healthy mothers and capable wives. It
prepares a woman for motherhood. It
does away with the discomforts of the ex-
pectant period and makes parturition
easy and almost painless. Over 10000
women have testified to its virtues, in
writing. Druggists sell it.

The profits were sufficient to pay the

there were 400 then. This is one of the
