The New Machine Shops.

The Matson Bros. Tool and Machine
company has completed its alterations on
the shoe shop building purchased last
summer and has machinery installed
ready for business. The firm is composed
of A. Henry Matson, David Matson and
Robert Matson. They are all practical
machine men, well versed in all lines of
that business through many years of ex-
perience with firms of worldwide reputa-
tion. Henry Matson was in early life
with the Fairbanks Scale company at st.
Johnsbury. For year and a BALI he was
assistant foreman for Brown & Sharp at
Providence, R. l., drafting and designing.
He was with the Morse Twist Drill COM
pany of Bedford, Mass, as foreman and
designer of special constructions. For the
past two years he has been with the Lans-
ton Monotype Machine Co. at Philsdel-
phia.
David Matson was with the Morse
Twist Drill company for year and a
half, then for about three and one-half
years with the Brown & Sharp company.
He was then in Chicago for several years,
and left that city to become assistant fore
man for the Taft-Pierce Co. at Woonsock-
ct, R. 1. He was the assistant foreman of
the Delaware Button Co. at Wilmington,
Del, and then foreman of the Dental In
strument Co. at Wilmington for six
Months. He was located at Norristown,
Pa, two years as assistant foreman in the
tool room of the Wildeman Mfg. Co.,
makers of knitting machines. Before
coming to Bethel, he was one year fore
man of the Lanston Monotype Mfg. Co.
at Philadelphia.
Robert Matson was three years with the
Brown & Sharp people, one year with the
American Optical Co. at Soutbbridge,
Mass, six months with the Waterbury
Clock Co. at Waterbury, Conn. For four
years he was chief machinist on the U. s.
gunboat, Wasp. and holds marine and
stationary engineers license good the
world over. Last year he was in the en-
ploy of the U. s. Steel corporation at
Bethlehem, Pa.
The different employments of the sever
al members of the firm have fitted them
for thoroughly understanding and under
taking anything in the machine or tool
line. Attention is called to their adver-
tisement in another column. In addition
to custom work, the firm controls several
patents in improved devices and labor
saving machines which they intend to
manufacture.

A Nation of Cripp|es
Rheumatism Be-
y0nd Control
The Only Hope to Rheumatic
Suffers Is Uric.O Treatment.

III rheumatism continues to spread a. it
has in the past few years, IL would seem
as though we would before long become a
nation of cripples. The terrible destruc-
tiveness of this disease is apparent on
every side OF us. Almost nine out of tel
of the cripples one meets had their Attic
tion brought on by rheumatism. How
many thousands more there are that are
hopelessly bed-ridden and whom we
never see. Rheumatism, from the very
nature of the disease, can never cure itself
and il neglected is bound to grow worse
rather than better. IL you ever have any
twinges OF rheumatism, go to your drug
gist and get bottle of Uric-O, the won
derful new rheumatic specific. II will
cure you and it is the only treatment in
the world that Will cure you permanently
and thoroughly. Uric-O cures by its di-
rect action on the muscles, blood and
kidneys. 1t seeks out the poisonous uric
and rheumatic acid and drives it from the
system and it is only a treatment of such
nature that will ever cure rheumatism.
Liniments and plasters only serve to drive
ii from one spot to another. They never
cure rheumatism, because IT is primarily a
blood disease, and until the blood is
cleared from the poison q cure cannot
take place.
There never was case of rheumatism
that Uric-O could not cure and you
should not put off taking it. You can
test Uric-O free Of charge If you wish.
Just cut out this advertisement and send
it to the Smith Drug Co., 437 Smith
Bldg, Syracuse, N. Y, together with
your name and the name of your drug
gist, and state that you have never used
Uric-O and would like to try it. They
will give you free, through your drug
gist, 75-cent bottle, which you can test
and try to your own satisfaction.
Uric-O is sold and personally recon-
mended in Randolph by H. A. Leonard.

A Beoqar woman's Trick.

A woman at Beaver Falls, Pa, 1t
has just been discovered, has been
going about regularly begging loaves
Of bread from residents on one side of
street, pleading that she had sick
husband and starving children at
home. Then she packed the loaves
nicely in basket and passed along
the other side and sold them at fancy
prices, saying she was obliged to bake
to support large family.

Mrs. Noonan will make their home in
Bethel for the present. Mr.. Noonan was
a former resident of Bethel, where he be-
gan the practice of law about ten years
ago. Since his residence in Enfield, he
has built up lucrative practice, which
he will continue for the present. Mr..
and Mrs. Henry F. Morrill, of Enfield, pa
rents of Mrs. Noonan, have come to make
their home with their daughter.
Says the Woodstock Standard-''Tne
court house has been renovated and new
rubber mating put on both stairways;
also fine bronze portrait in alto-relievo
of Augustus Pingree Hunton, the Oldest
practising lawyer in the state and of the
firm of Hunton & Stickney of Bethel, has
been hung back of the desk of the presid-
ing Judge. The portrait, which is very
fine and is said to be almost speaking
likeness, is the work of Miss Mary Stick
ney, the daughter of VIM. B. c. Stickney,
and she is now in Paris pursuing her
studies in this line of work. Portraits OF
ex-Govs. Carlos Coolidge, Peter 7. Wash
burn, Julius Converse, Samuel E. Pin
gree. VIM W. Stickney are now in the
county clerks Office and are to be hung
in the court room as soon as places for
them are arranged"
In response to recent petition from
the citizens of East Bethel, the board OF
town school directors-E. s. Tewksbury,
E. L Dearing and R. E. Burnett-have
been considering the situation at East
Bethel and have decided that the school
house in old district No. 10 (near Sylves-
ter Spooner's) can be made to answer.
They now plan before the spring term to
enlarge and repair this schoolhouse and
resume the keeping of school in that dis
trict. With reasonable expense, it is es-
timated that seating capacity and proper
ventilation can be secured in this build
ing for twenty-six pupils. The large in,
crease of scholars in the quarry district
will thus be taken care of nearer home
and save the transportation charges tc
East Bethel. The latter school, being re
lieved of the pupils coming from the
quarry district, ought to be able to care
for all the others wishing to attend that
school for some time.

The finest coffee substitute ever made
has recently been produced by DR.. Shoop
Of Racine, Wis. You don't have to boil
it twenty or thirty minutes. "Made in a
minute" says the doctor. "Health
Coffee" is really the closest coffee imita-
ton ever yet produced. Not grain of
real coffee in it either. Health Coffee Inn
itation is made from pure toasted cereals
or grain, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it
would fool an expert-were he to un-
knowingly drink it for coffee.

out again. AS rule they are perfectly
honest in the matter, and believe that
the facts are all on their side. This
being so, all attempts to shake them
in their opinion, or to present facts
bearing on the other side, are futile.
