FOR VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS.
Local Society He'd It's Annual Meeting Friday
Afternoon.

Afternoon.
The annual meeting OF the Village
Improvement Society was held Friday
afternoon with good attendance OF
the ladies interested in the society The
reports showed that the work carried
out during the past year had been the
same as in former years but there is
now in the treasury about $50 more
than there was year ago.
The old board of officers was re-elect-
ed as follows; President, Miss Jennie
A. Valentine; secretary Miss Helena
Norton; treasurer, Mrs L. f. Abbott:
trustee, Mrs II. S. Bingham,
After the business meeting there was
a general discussion relative to some
OF the "eye sores in the village which
ought to be abated. Among those
prominently mentioned was the vacant
lot on Silver street back of the library
building; one in the rear of the Put
nam block on Main street where year
ly grows a good crop of burdocks and
VIII ch with others is to be visited this
season. The wretched state of Main
street especially in front Of the Put
nam house, the opera house block, the
Cottage hotel and corners which are
the habitual Longing places for men,
expectorations on the street which are
contrary to law and other abuses will
be the subjects of investigation this
spring with view to remedy in them.
1t was decided to try and awaken in
terest among the people by holding a
mass meeting in the near future which
will be addressed by Henry McFar-
and, head of the civic league Of the
United States who is we'll hnown for
his efforts TO awaken interest in the
adornment OF cities and villages. 1t
was voted to carry on the usual work
in the village cemetery.

Spring Cafarrh.

Almost every one has come to believe
that spring is a season that brings de-
rangements Of the body dependent on
blood impurities.
This belief is an old one, is nearly uni
versal, and has arisen, not as the result
of the teachings of the medical frater-
nifty, but has been learned in the bitter
school Of experience.

Nervous Depression.

Depression OF the nervous system at
the approach of spring is fertile source
of blood impurities.
There are general lassitude, dull,
heavy sensations, continual tired feel

times loss OF sleep.

as a result the East Havens have been
dropped from the league. The Orange

games when it learned that Cranes lot,
where the matches were to take place,
had been bought by the local Y. M. c.

for the matches.
The East Havens made no attempt to
show up for their games, and as a re-

from the league. At a special meeting
