SLIPPERY TIMES.

We consider all travellers fortunate
who passed through last week in this
vicinity without fall, for the high
ways and foOtpathS, as well as private
walks and backyards, were glazed with
that washed ice after Wednesday,
which rendered it almost impossible to
| place complete confidence in ones feet,
| heard of no serious accidents on that
line and the snow of Sunday we hope
relieved much anxiety and uncertain
| ity, especially among the the pedestri-
ans or all who have to venture to walk.
The storm was so severe last Sunday
here, that the church bells did not
sound and no service was held, very
unusual occurance, but unavOida BILE
last Sunday.
Many of the villagers and Lakeside
people as well as several from New
Milford gathered near Cheerie Point
at Lakeside, last Friday to witness a

Beeman's horse f1inging shoe and
afterwards calking himself severely,
only one heat was trotted and the race
given to Booth. 1t is reported $1,000

cluded their trotting, the stallion

four heats against Marsh S "Achamar"
Of New Milford. Marsh won first heat,
Hopkins three last heats. UndOubted-
ly when Beeman's horse is well again,
his race with Country Guy" will be
resumed on same track. Several who
had placed their hope strongly on
"Willow B'' were disappointed by the
accident. Beeman'S gelding "kansas
Jack" beat H. Thomas horse in two
heats.

MINSTREL SHOW.
1t is anticipated that large audi
ence will greet the Gunnery and Ridge
students on this week Friday evening,
January 80, where they appear as min
strelS in the hall on the Green. The
public cannot fail to show their inter-
est in this entertainment as the pro-
ceeds are for the benefit of the Ath-
letic association of the two schools.
Admission is 35c, 25c and l5c. In
other towns the baseball and other
contests are not free to the public, as
a gate fee is charged. In this town
open to the public and all can enjoy
the fun without payment of any adj
mission fee to the grounds. Neces-
sarily there is a good deal Of expense
attached to these contests and now all
have an opportunity to help little by
attending the entertainment on Fri
day evening. Let every one come.
SHERMAN HARTwELL TAKES THE
PRIZE.
The Meriden Poultry show which
was held December 80, and 81, and
January l and 2, was probably the
largest, with the most entries of any
show held in Connecticut, this winter.
1t was a success in every way. The
management was good and most of the
exhibitors had fine birds. The dis
play of Partridge Cochins entered by
Sherman Hartwell of Washington was
spoken of as being particularly fine,
his IA birds winning five first and four
second premiums, silver cup for best
display in the entire cochin class, gold
special for four best birds and two
other specials for best shaped male and
female.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's tie best treatment.

A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.

Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself, even
when but Slightly disordered or over
loaded. Kodol supplies the natural
juices of digestion and does the work
of the stomach, relaxing the nervous
tension, while the intlamed muscles of
that organ are allowed to rest and heal.
Kodol digests what you eat and enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
transform all food into rich, red blood.
