Strong Old Age
AN OcTOdENARiAN WHO USES
 DR WlLLAlMS' PINK PILLS.

MIR KINDRED SAYS THEY CURED HIS
 RHEUMATISM AND THAT THEY GIVE
 HIM STRENGTH.
 When old people are stricken with disease every practitioner knows how ment are diminished by the natural debility due to advanced age. This fact gives vital importance to the case of MT Amos Kindred, of No. 81 Jacques avenue, Worcester, Mass, who in his eighty-fourth year is enjoying good health and attributes it largely to Dr Villains Pink Pills for Pale People. Not only does he use them as a tonic, purpose for which they have no equal, but he was cured by them of an acute disease, as related in the fol- lowing interview. Mr Kindred says:
 "Some time ago I was a sufferer from intlammatOry rheumatism. It was in my hands, legs and back, and my flesh was very sensitive. My hands were badly swollen but my back trou- bled me most and sometimes was SC bad that I could hardly get about Once when 1 stopped over to pick up something, l found l could not straight; could not stand up straight. It was a terrible affliction and neither doctors nor any medicines I tried gave me any relief. I kept getting worse and worse and my back got so bad that I coulC not even turn over in bed without help.
 "Then I tried Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. They fitted my | case exactly and cured me. l have haC | no return ofthe rheuma tiSm since then | still take the pills, occasionally, fol a person of my age requires tonic now and then. 1 find that nothing gives me the strength that they do.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills have dou ble action-on the blood and on the nerves. It is not claimed that thes, pills are cure-all, but the very nature of the remedy makes it etficacious in wider range of diseases than any other They are a scientific preparation de I signed to cure by direct action ol the blood and nerves and have curet cases of locomotorataxia partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervou headache, the after-effects of the grip palpitation of the heart, pale and sal low cOmpleXions and all forms of weak ness either in male or female.

A handsome little volume is "An- cient Legends" compiled by Miss Eliz- abeth M. Lum, who is we'll known in Newtown. The book is bound in pretty shade of red with fine picture of young knight and his charger on the cover. It is printed on heavy cream paper, with wide margins and uncut edges. So much for the outside of the book: which is a fitting setting for the charming collection of prose and poetry included in it's pages. Every one of us, if we stop to think of it, find that we know many, many beautiful legends, gathered in our reading or learned in our childhood days. Just such a collection, put to- gether and told in dainty manner, are these ancient legends with this diff ference that the greater number of these are new to most of us, many of them having teen culled from old books now out of print. The book is publish ed by the Futile, Warehouse & Taylor Company of New Haven. It will be placed on sale at the Newtown Inn.

MRS URIAH GRIFFIN.

MRS URIAH GRIFFIN.
 Mrs Uriah Griffin passed away May 2S. She was great sufferer. She leaves husband, son, daughter and one brother, T. A. Carter, to mourn her loss. Mrs Uriah Carter Grif1i n was born August 20, 1s46, in the town of Bedding. She died May 2s, 1903, at her home in the same town. Mrs Grif- fin Hattie A. Carter) was the only daughter of Mir and Mrs Ezra Carter. She attended the grammar school at Umpawaug, and early in her course showed an aptness to teach. She la ter taught in Starr's Plain, Westville e and Bedding. She joined the Meth O. dist church of Long Ridge at a very early age and became a most faithful and active member, for season being president of the Ladies' Aid society. At the age of 3 she married Uriah s. Griffin. The young couple started housekeeping in Bedding. where for the past 34 years they have remained. Five children. were born to them: Bertha, Chester, and Roy, being de- ceased, Fred and Laura surviving her. Mrs Griffin was woman of sterling character, Christian through and through. None knew her but to love her. To be in her presence even dur ing the last days of her life when she suffered untold agonies, one felt that was a soul of purest white. Not a word of complaint escaped her lips. Unselfishness was her dominating charac eristic, never thinking of her own comfort when others were to be considered. She was in the deepest sense, "A good wife and and an in- dulgent and faithful mother.' We'll may it be said of her "She hath done what she could.''
 MT and Mrs John Beers spout few days of last week in New Haven visit ing her mother, swho is quite ill.
 Rev MT Clymer has commenced his much needed vacation from his stud ies at Drew Theological college and will remain in West Bedding until the middle of September when he will re- sume his work for the coming year.
