NJ Merchants week for the purpose
nf Getting people in the suburban towns
in the habit Of trading in Sprngheia,
This committee was also Instrumental
in staining out the trading stamp nul-
sance. The insurance committee "ts
mentioned in connection with IT'S Worn
of investigating the fire department
which Mr.. Drake considered OF great
inheritance. He referred briefly to the
duties of the publicity committee III re-
gard TO advertising the natural advah'
fages of town, saying that the oe7t
way was to write the different boards OF
trade in regard to their methods, there
Inv securing valuable hints. Much good
work has been done in Springfield by
the committee on postal service IN get-
ting new mails from New YORK. TINS
work being done through cooperation
with boards of trade in adjoining cities
and towns. ,--.,
Mr.. Drake told of a charities bureau
which was organized under the auspices
of the Springfield board of trade ana
which had proved of great beneht TO
the residents of that city. All persons
soliciting funds are obliged to appear ar
the bureau. prove their identity and
the worth of their object and then OBJ
tain a card on which are given the name
of the solicitor and brief statement IN
regard to the cause which he repre-
sents. This card not only shows that
the solicitor is not an lmpostor, put
allows those interested to get clear
idea of the object to which they are
asked TO contribute. The bureau has
been very successful in keeping Spring
field free from fake solicitors. Mr..
Drake also explained the work of the
Springfield credit exchange, which was
organized by the board of trade, but Is
now an entirely separate organization.
The duties of this exchange are to in
vestigate the credit of new residents,
issue monthly reports on the delinquent
debtors and collect bad accounts. 1t has
not only proven great saving u the
merchants on poor bills. but has also
nrotected them from losses through dis
honest collection agencies. Another
matter mentioned by Mr.. Drake as har-
ing been brought to the attention OF the
hoard of trade was the investigation OF
the plan for a competing telephone sys-
TEN. which was reported adversely. The
Springfield organization has taken ac-
tive part in legislation affecting Spring
field s interests and has succeeded IN
securing the passage of two bills in
spite of severe opposition In closing,
Mr.. Drake said that the keynote of sue
cess in any board Of trade lay in the CO.
operation of every member.
At the close of the addresses Messrs.
Bowman and Drake were asked several
questions by local men and much OF IN
terest was brought out by this discus
sion. The gathering then adjourned to
the grange banquet hall, where lunch
was served and the members were given
the freedom of the Vermont Wheel club
rooms during the remainder of the
evening.

Mrs. pinkham claims that there Is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism,
and which. while il causes a disturb
snce similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, n. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years | suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that |
was unable TO attend to my daily duties. l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that | ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach, | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. | was ad-
yisei 10 give lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
tofnd that it acted like a fine tonic, and in
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
nv food. NV recovery was rapid, and In
FIVE weeks | was well woman l have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali,
fed endorsement or has such a record
ofcnres of female troubles, as has Lydia
E, Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.

Accident on West River Road.

The train which is due to arrive at
the local station at $3.50 over the West
River railroad was derailed at $3.50
Wednesday morning about four miles
north of this town by the turning of a
rail. The train was in charge of Con-
ductor George Spafford and Brakeman
John McKenna, with Engineer Bert
Gates at the throttle of engine No. 80.
The train had Just passed the saw-mill
owned by Holden & Martin and the en-
CINE and baggage ear had passed over
the particular rail in question when 1t
suddenly turned, throwing the two rear
cars. passenger coach and mail ear, off
the iron and derailing the baggage car.
As soon as Conductor Spafford perceived
that something was amiss he gave the
air-brake signal and the train was
brought to standstill after going about
Is yards. The train crew Immediately
set to work and soon had the baggage
car back on the rails. All the passen-
gers were loaded in this ear and then
were brought here, arriving somewhat
behind schedule time A wrecking train
was Immediately made up and the track
was soon cleared, the two derailed cars
being brought to the local yard the
same afternoon, the only visible damage
from the wreck being slight scratch
along the side of the rear ear The
train was not heavily loaded, but the
passengers were badly shaken, although
no one was hurt. A happy chain of cir
eumstances prevented a serious wreck.
The track was level and straight and
the train was not running at very high
rate of speed.

A JOKE OR SOMETHING ELSE.
Threatening Anonymous Letter Re
ceived by Local Man Last Week.

The following letter, either an at
tempt at blackmail or an intended Joke,
was received recently by local man;

The letter came in a plain govern
ment envelope, the address and con-
tents being printed with a pen. Need
less to say the receiver was a trific
Jared when he read the communica-
ton. He did not, however, leave any
contribution at the further end of the
Connecticut river bridge Monday
night, but the matter is being investi-
gated and may possibly be placed in
the hands of the postoffice authorities.
Threatening in this manner is seri-
Gus crime under the law and there is
also a penalty for sending such letters
through the mail. If the letter was in
tended for a joke the sender must pos
sess strange sense of humor. 1t is
not unlikely that he will be given an
opportunity to explain his intention.
