Business Mems Association.

An important open meeting of the Business Mems Association will be held next Tuesday evening at s o'clock, in Odd Fellows Hall. The question to be discussed is as follows:
 Resolved, That it is for the best in- terest of Putnam that the city begin the construction ol it's sewerage sys- tenn during the year 1909.
 The following gentlemen have been appointed to take part in the debate:
 Affirmatise-Dr. Omer LaRue, LII. Fuller, k. M. Arnold.
 Negative-G. b. Bates, k. German and others.
 Any who wish may take part in the debate, the object being to elicit all that can be said on the question, pro and con, that the people may be enlighien- ed and thus be enabled to act under standingly when it comes up for final action at any authorized city meeting. It is not the purpose of the Association to force the adoption of sewerage or any other improvement or any other mat ter that may be brought up for discus sion- Whatever is proposed to have done for the benefit of the city should always first be publicly discussed that it's merits or demerits may be clearly brought out and the people thus be en- abled to vote understandingIy. Meas sures are too often brought up for aiop- ton in city and town meetings that the voters know nothing about, ard f they vote at all il may be the way they would not have done if they had been enlightened as to the merits Of the sub jeet acted upon.
 Senator Luther recently said haf but few matters brought up for action are understood by members in either house of the Legislature, and they vote blind ly, as he had often to do. or not vote. Itisno wonder, therefore, that 70 much legislation is done 10 the detriment af the people, bail often for The benefit Of ihe few cute ones who did understand what they are about.

PUTNAM CONN. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1909

as useful as pcSsibie~9 enlighten the community on esSsyfhing proposed for the good of the city and to advance its prosperity.
 There has been lacking a community spirit in dealing with questions affect ting the well-being of the city, to it's great loss, not alone materially, but so- socially and fraiernaily. People are at variance often, simply because they misunderstood or miseonstrue motives that are well-intentioned. Coming to- gether, mingling socially and frater- nally, dissipates much of this division al spirit. We can see that in all secu- lar fraternal societies, where the most heterogeneous bodies of people soon get moulded into kindly brotherhood. The Business Mems Association ought to do, and can do, a similar service, open ly, for the entire community. even if all do not formally become members,
 IL is unnecessary to reiterate, what all admit, that combined effort can do much for the betteung Of such city as Putnam, that cannot be otherwise accomplished. But it requires some training, some forbearance and some slight sacrifices before any organization united for general work can accomplish the good it aims to do, and to reach that state of mind that il will be plea- sure to eommingle in service for gen. eral benefit.
 The Business Mems Association Is as yet new in service, but it's possibilities are great, and extra efforts and some self denial should be madv, not only by its members. but by all citizens, to get it established on firm basis and to make it's mission such means of use- fulness that, within year, all may look back glad to see what 1t has ac- complished, and that each was help ful participator in raising it to great use fulness.
 The first step in this hopeful success Is for each one to make an extra effort to be present at the meeting next Tues day evening, and come with spiritto help inspire those engaged in this im- portant public service, and also to in- vite others to come and assist In like manner. If this Is done, VIC promise to each satisfaction that will not only repay them but be permanent in a con- sciousness of duty we'll performed.

Valentine Tea.

One of the noblest of our charities Is the Day Kimball Hospital, whose past services in relieving suffering, not only of the indigent but of the well-to-do can never be told in words. ..I never understood,' said one sufferer, "the blessings of hospital until | myself was afflicted and needed it's invaluable assistance. In an hour after entering it's portals anxiety was dispelled and l felt comforted.n It's need for humanity's help can never eease-and no one can feel sure his turn won't soon come.
 By the establishment of the St. Jo- seph Hospital, the Day kimbail Hos- pital now represents only the eastern half the county, but demands on its as- sistance have gone on increasing, so that new building or an addition to the present large structure, is being ar. ranged for.
 It's perfect equipment, it's large corps of skilled and experienced physicians and surgeons have given the Day Kim ball Hospital reputation as high as any in the State, to say nothing in re- gard to it's situation for healthfulness and loveliness, on an nearby hill oyer- looking the city of Putnam.
 The citizens of this and other nearby towns take pride in the Hospital and the bene ficent work il is doing. This ri 1o In, h1 generous support extended to every de- mand made for assistance for current expenses and for all necessary addi- tional requirements to improve the usefulness of the Hospital.
 One of the essential rnstrumentali- ties in maintaining the successful ad- ministration of the Hospital, in proyi ding any lacking means for its sup port and betterment, is the sWoman's Board of the Day Kiniball Hospital The Board is composed of the ladies of this and other towns interested in the prosperity of the Hospital. And we are happy to say, numbered among them are the leading ladies of the Ca tholic Church together with those of the various Protestant denominations -an united in the noble work of Chris tian philanthropy.
 One of the means the ladies of the Board employ in raising funds for the support of the Hospital is in providing an annual Valentine Tea, which will be given, on Saturday, Feb. l3, in Odd Fellows Hall, from 2:3o to s:30 p. m.
 Members of the Board and Auxilia- ries from other towns will be prepared to serve tea and waters in the reception room, where fancy and useful articles will be on saie-inelnding Valentines and confectionery.
 At from , to 7o' clock delicious sup per will be served, from the following menu: Oyster stew, ham, tongue, corn ed beef, white bread and rolls, mashed potatoes and turnips, pickles, jellies, doughnuts, cheese, cake, tea and cof- fee.
 Price of supper 25 cents.
 Ice cream and banana royal extra.
 Tickets for the entertainment have been given out to children. Those who are unable to be present should buy a ticket and bestow it on some deserving substitute.
 Persons living on the line of the rail- roads can come to the entertainment where they will be cordially welcomed, can participate in all the social fea- lures, have supper, and return in any direction to their homes at 6 D. m.
