CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents. but may be from some
remote ancestor. for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the FIRST little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and per1na-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestagee
IF it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
s the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
IF the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

INTERESTED IN THE TROLLEY.

The question of the trolley is being
agitated very much of late and if it
were not for Judge Warner with his
ever hopeful project of a trolley to
Woodbury. our people would lose heart,
although the Waterbury line wishes
to come up here, if the town will give
them the road and build a new high
way on each side of the trolley track.
This will come in time but the Troll
ley Company should be to the expense
of building this roadway and paying
land damages for widening the streets:

dren who, trust, will be an honor to
the name they bear and to the native
state Of their ancestors. In the
same house, somewhat enlarged, in
which was born-which the old deed
says was erected in the reign of George
II-now, in the reign of Edward VII,
I and my people every summer get
more Of comfort and pleasure than
any of my ancestors could ever get out
of it in the whole year. While the

children that came after me will for
get that l was a Connecticut boy. l
bring with me the greeting Of state
prOuder of none than of the fact that
it has so many Connecticut-born men
among it's citizens. Connecticut and
New York are more than simply
neighbors. Their territory, as we'll as
| their people, has been interlaced from
the beginning of both. New York at
one time claimed Greenwich and
| Stamford, and Connecticut at another
time held Portchester and Rye and
SOuthold. The toe of Connecticut's
boot, which is the flourishing town of
Greenwich of to-day, was formed by
the political shoemakers of the early
days of American colonization and is
the result Of the Surging backwards
and forwards of the line SO often that
the man who lived anywhere between
Stamford and New Rochelle never
could tell at the beginning OF the year
whether, when the year ended, he
would be Dutchman or Yankee.
The Dutchman, foremost on the sea.
and the Saxon, foremost on the land,
have carried the flag of civilization
from height to height, from land to
land, and from ocean to ocean, and
side by side they stand to-day ready to
defend it in every zone, on every ocean
and on every part of the earth's sur
face. l am proud, therefore, to have
the honor of standing before you to-
day to respond to this toast, "Con-
necticut and New York." the state of
the sturdy Saxon and the state of the
select the two men whose personal
character had done most to make the
United States what it is, | should
name Thomas Hooker and Alexander
Hamilton. The Connecticut preacher,
who preached from his Hartford pull
pit the essential doctrines of the Dec
laration of Independence a hundred
years before Thomas Jefferson was
born, and the New York lawyer who
did more than any other mani be-
lieve more than even Washington
himself-to give to the United States
the constitution which made it the
nation that it is. Truly may we boast
to-day that it was on the banks of the
Connecticut and on the banks of the
Hudson that the foundations of the
American nation were laid so strong
and so deep that in this opening year
of the Goth century it stands the fore
most nation of the world.

man, Wednesday evening, February q,

vice of his own in making the young

white null; she carried white roses

pin of Woodbury., sister of the groom,
maid of honor. Miss Galpin wore
white organdie and carried white

Mattoon acted as ushers and, after
the congratulations bountiful we'd
ding supper was served for which the
bride had made all the cake with her
own hands. Among those present
out of town were DyerS. Howe, grand
father of the bride, and his sister, Mrs
Apley, from Torrington: Mr. and Mrs
Julius Galpin, parents of the groom,
with brothers and sisters and friends
from Woodbury.; Walter Arnold and
wife from Bristol; Will Boyington and
wife, Mr. and Mrs Bunnell e. Grant

which MIR and Mrs Galpin are held.
