 Academy Sunday proved to be d trare day in June,9 and the interest manifested in the services bV the friends of the Academy was sufficient to fiji the church and pack the aisIes. A wealth of maiden hair ferns most tastefuiiy arranged, with the stamp Of the Academy coiors in the gold of the buttercu ps and q touch of blue, made the pulpit platform most attractive. Music was furnished by a quartette consisting of Miss Alton, Mrs. Ritch, A. Graydon Sharpe, and II. K. Morse, with solo by Miss Alton. Scripture was read and prayer offered by Rev. Mr. Curtis of South Woodstock. The audience were glad of the privilege of listening again to strong words from Rev. sylNanus Hayward, D. D., of Southbridge, who, though having reached the age of fourseore years. is vigorous in thought. His sermon, based upon the text, "Go forward, '" was inspiring and full of encourage ment te the students to reach out to something nobler and better beyond.
 The following is the program for Friday at the Academy: Graduating exercises in Academy Hall at 2.30 p.m. with address by Rev. Warren J. Shei- don chaplain of the Connecticut House of Representatives, with presentation of diplomas by Senator Brandegee, fol- lowed by class exercises on the lawn. The class reception will be held Friday evening, and the alumni banquet at Lakeside SatuedaY evening.
 The social of t6e Ladies Benevolent Society was held "Wednesday afternoon on the church lawn and was well at tended. Mrs Curtis Of South Wood stock spoke in an extremely interest ing manner of her work as teacher among the Chinese in Los Angeles, Cal. The home life of the people and the difficulties encountered ill instruct ing them were wildly described and made very realistic Her willingness to tell of her work was greatly appre- ciated by the ladies. The charming June afternoon helped To make the so- cial hour most enjoyable. Cake and lemonade were served by the young Ia. dies and a substantial amount added to the home missionary treasury.

Causes of Mortality from Heart Disease

During the past fifty years heart dis
 case has gone on steadily increasing,
 and now causes more deaths among
 mature people than almost anything
 else. pr. Darlington, Health Commis- .
 sioner of New York city, in an address
 before the Climatelogjcal Medical As
 soeiation recently, look for his subject
 ..Causes of Mortality from Heart Dis
 ease in the United States He had
 sent list of questions 10 the Boards of
 Health of many cities regarding staiis-
 ties of heart disease and kidney com
 plainls-
 aAs working basis for future inyes-
 tieaiion we should consider that the mortality rate from heart disease k
 steadily increasing, he said, after sub-
 hitting statistics: .'that this increase is general throughoutthe United States
 and is apparently unaffected by clima-
 tic conditions, locality or density of pc pulstion. also that the correlated con condition-chronie Bright's disease
 SLOWS corresponding increase in mor- tality, and that the general death rate is steadily decreasing"
 Dr. Darlington continued his sum- ming up by saying that no other dis ease showed a general relative increase in its death rate, and that the common ly accepted causes of cardiac affections could not be held responsible for the increased death rate without further study of their causes. He said the ef- feet produced by high strung, nervous tension induced by modern methods Of social and business competition must be regarded as causative factor in the propuelion of functional and ultimate ly organic cardiac disease. The medi- cal profession, he declared, had before it an opportunity of great vital moment to teach the doctrine of right living, advocate a saner and more wholesome attitude toward life, and stand as a unit against the false standards of ma terial gain and advancement obtained by the sacrifice Of the normal, health fuI and peaceful attributes of calm, mental pois., equabie temperament and physical weil-being. Concluding, | he said:
 Eauanimity is the need of the times and the need Of the people. Let u- | teach il. jet Us five according to its law. | In calulness of iaind and esenness oi | pu. pose We may find the panaeea the l world k seeking. 10 combat iile ills arising from mental and physical an- rest.y
