And this is only one of sew eral such collections that have been made here. This statement is taken as indicating that some thirsty cit izens have managed by hook or crock to feed an unSodly appetite during a period of no-license. At least there is no proof that the content; of the bottles was used as a Ilniment for soreheads.
 New Truck Delayed.
 Members of the fire department and especially those who are of the Gen eral Putnam hook and ladder company, have been watching the freight yards this week for the appearance of the new truck that is expected to arrive on any train. Other citizens are also anxious to see the new $500 piece of apparatus, which will be taken to Put nam next week for the firemens s pa rade.

GIRLS OF 'e1
Club Holds Third Reunion at Putnam
 Inn on Wednesday.

Tt is easy to say how We love new friends and what we think of them but words can never trace out all the flores that knit us to the old"
 This quotation from George Eliot by Mrs. Preston B. Sibley, Danielson, f1ttingly expressed the sentiment that pervaded the gathering of the Girls of '61 club as her guests at their third reunion Wednesday at the Putnam inn in this city.
 Fifty years ago-a full half century back-the girls of '61 knew each other as particular friends and worked to- gether in the little village of Mans field Hollow in remote corner of the county. The golden anniversary gath ering of Wednesday was therefore a delightful opportunity to be reunited for tEe time and recount the happy events of their girihood days and the many experiences that have come to them in the years that they have been apart. following pathways in life that have taken some of them far away. A buffet lunch was served at 12 o'clock. with dinner at o'clock. the following being the menu:

It was on the top of her head and the crust became as large as the palm of my hand. My doctor said 1t was a form of eczema. used remedy but had no success with it. used it nearly two weeks. then g friend recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment used the Cuticura Ointment, applied it on the scalp at night and morning, and in four days the scalp was all healed. no sign Of crllsts or scabs could be seen.

COMMON BATTERY SERVICE To Come Into Use on Sunday Morning
 Next.

The preparation which has extended through months, for the changing of the telephone service from a magneto to a common battery system, is prac- tically. completed at the central office and if everything goes without a hitch the old hand ringing system will go into the discard next Sunday morn ing to give place to the most normally equipped central office service in Windham county. It is proposed to make the cut over at the time indi- cated and this will be quite wonder fully done without a minutes interrup ton of the service. The new switch board is on the second floor of the building, whereas the board now in use is on the ground floor.
 Common battery service will be en- tirely new to a great majority of the subscribers in the Danielson division, but they will surely quickly agree in the general appreciation of it. It will, of course, be unnecessary to ring to call central after the new system is installed. Then it will simply be matter of picking the receiver off the hook and putting it to the ear. The operators will do the rest In case no response is secured after taking the action above indicated. attention may be secured by moving the receiver hook up and down it is not essential that it be torn out by the roots.
 During next week it is expected that d supervisor experienced as to com mon battery systems will be present to generally oversee the work Of the local operating force. several of whom have received a course of instruction relative to their new duties at the Norwich central office.
 Basketball Enthusiasm to Awaken.
 It is hoped to stir up some old-time basketball enthusiasm in Danielson this winter, when this town will be represented in the new interstate league. It may prove difficult to arouse interest at first because of the fact that four of the six teams are from Massachusetts towns and do not at this time present the spirit of rivalry that has always existed in a friendly way between adjacent towns, but this may come Danielson has lost some of it's fast players during the past year. Paine, Myers and Reach having gone away, but there is still much good material out of which to build a team.
 In General.
 Danielson was represented by a big theater party when Over Night was presented at tFe Bradley theater in Putnam Wednesday night
 Fred s. Reach has commenced his duties as a district manager in New Haven for a mutual insurance com- pany.
 A number of Danielson people plan to visit the Brockton fair today (Thursday), making the trip by auto mobile
 special committee of the town school committee has reported unfa- vorably on the matter of reducing the number of grades in the School street school.
 Big Vote for Bessette.
 John NJ Bessette. democrat. received the highest number of votes of any candidate on either ticket in Monday S election in Brooklyn. His record as a tax collector, unequalled for efficiency in the state. makes him the one best bet for that job in the neighboring town. He gets the money-all of it, carrying into execution the theory that nothing is as certain as death and the paying of taxes.

 Dear Sir
 Perhaps it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with 1t til l got your Appliance. It is very easy to wear. fits neat and snug, and is not in the way at any time, day or nlght In fact at times I did not know l had it on; it just adapted itself to the shape of the body and seemed to be part of the body, as it clung to she spot, no matter what position I was in It would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rup- ture if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would certainly never regret it.
 My rupture is all healed up and nothing ever did it but your Appliance Whenever the opportunity presents it. self I will say good word for your Appliance. and also the honorable way in which you deal with ruptured peo- pie, It is a pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. I am.

PETITION TALKED OF Asking Commissioners to Keep Sa- looms Off One Side of Main Street.

There was some talk about town on Wednesday to the effect that a peti- tion would be circulated for the pur- pose of presenting to the county com missioners the fact that there is a desire to keep at least one side of Main street south of the railroad free from saloons, this being the west side. Here tofore, in license years, women who have found trading to do in the stores in that section have been forced to run the gauntlet of a battery of sa looms and the experience was not all ways pleasan Three years ago the commissioners did turn down some a applicants with locations on that side, but the talk now is to keep that side quite clear of licensed places.
