Fire in Picker Room of Reliance Wor- sted MiiI-Loss Below $5O0-Annuai Business Meeting at Baptist Church local Mention.

The GreeneviIle companies were called out for the second time within a week by an alarm rung in from box 24. Monday afternoon at 1.15 o'clock for a small fire at the Reliance Worsted mill North Main street. The steamer and truck from the central station also responded and five streams of water put out the blaze quickly, the recall being struck in less than half an hour.
 The fire started about one o'clock in a machine in the picker room, which is located midway between the worsted mill, and may have been caused by lighted match. The operatives trie1 to put the fire out but their efforts were unsuccessful and the fire depart ment was called. The f1remen found the blaze had spread to the bales of stock in the room, making a dense smoke, but little blaze. The compa- nies had the water on without delay and the loss to stock, building and machines was kept below $500, which is fully covered by insurance.
 The trolley line was blocked for nearly half an hour, but as the Taft vile car was on the city side, Starter w H. Stebbins had a transfer at the fire arranged without trouble. Inspec-. tor R. B. Ladd had the line clear for the incoming Central Village and Wil- limantic cars at 1.45.
 John L. Moody of truck company No. 2 and Frank McCone of truck com. pany No. 1 had their hands cut by window glass, which were dressed by Dr. Rush w. Kimball, department physician.

There was thunderous hand for the Imperial Musical trio, in which the triple tongueing of Miss May De Hause. the cornetist, is one of the big features. The final setting for their turn. introducing a special cathedral scene, is also an effective bit of their musical programme, which introduces various musical instruments. includ- ing comets, saxophones, trombones, cello, violin and bell chimes.

Nothing in the history of medicine has eyer approached the success or the marvellous skin remedy known SIS poslam, which, it is safe to say, mas cured more cases of eczema and skll diseases than any remedy ever ofered for these ills
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when 1t is considered thhL even a very small quantity applied 70 the skin stops itching Immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne. herpes. letter. piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humOrs. scaly scalp and every form of Itch, yield to 1t readily Blemishes such as plmples, red noses, muddy and infiamed skin disa ppear almost immediately when poslam is applied. the complexion be- ing cleared over night.
