With but two days remaining in which
to complete the Worldwide" puzzle So
lutions, excitement runs high, both little
and big people keeping the telephone busy
and working Uncle Sam overtime this
sizzling weather.
The trips around the world have been
so enticing as to have lured many new
friends into the Puzzle Circle, all Of
whom declare enthusiastically that they
would never have resisted the fascina-
tions OF the puzzle had they had any idea
at all how much fun and recreation there
was to be had in finding the answers to
the mystic questions.

There are still some half a dozen tardy

The children's lists this week are a

They seem even more interested in what

and later, as the itching became worse,
added a little laudanum.
The preparation Of prepared chalk and
lard was sent me by e country woman,
who wrote that 1t had been most effective
in her family.
The remedy suggested by Mr.. Holmes
is an old-fashioned one used almost in
variably by country physicians.
Mr.. Holmes also suggests the formula

possible remedy for friend of his.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREED THEATRE.

In Northern Forests, the brilliant and thrilling picture that is holding the attention of all lovers of truly life-like and picturesque films, is the feature picture of the Breed today. A criminal on the way to states pris- on is attracted by little girl on the train, both leaving the train at the same station. One oay the criminal escapes, and almost simultaneously the little girl wanders off into the woods and is lost. Strangely enough, the cbild comes upon the exhausted criminal who has fallen by the way and recognizing him, she accepts his attention, soon falling asleep. Soon the wolves are heard and the criminal is forced to climb high tree with the little girl cstnging to shis back to es- cape the wolves. Here, the pair is found by the sheriff and posse who return the child to her parents, and the kind hearted prisoner to the pen itentiary. The grateful parents are anxious to do all in their power to assist the fellow and start immediate ly to circulate a petition to the gov ernor for the dismissal of the hero convict.
 A magnificent story of the pictur- esque old missions is shown under the title of the Novice, and is very clever and beautiful film portrayal.

KINGSTON FAIR.
37th Annual County Fair Opens Sep-
 tember 12.

Fair time is here again, and from every indication taiS years fair at West Kingston will surpass any pre- viously held in Rhode Island.
 The mana cement have contrived to make it an occurrence of interest and importance to numbers of people not only in the south county but through out the state.
 The South County Fair has all the well known fair features which New Englanders everywhere have learned to lIve. The exhibitions alone are worth a trip to West Kingston to see The progress and development of Rhode Island agricultural and live stock interests as recorded in this annual exhibition is such as to send the thrill of pride through every lover of little Rhcdy.
 The executive committee report an increase in both the number and quail ity of exhibits in nearly every depart ment This is owing partly to the greatly increased amount of premiums as prizes, as well as to the steadily increasing interests of farmers and others throughout Washington county.
 Last year the space allotted for au- tomobiles proved to be inadequate to the demand. but patrons visiting the grounds this year will find the com mittee have provided ample room for their machines.
 The free vaudeville shows are in charge of Mrs. R. c. Carlyle whose performances in past years have been most pleasing and entertaining feat ure of the fair.
 Lovers of racing will find perfect feast of pleasure arranged for them in the racing schedule. The entries shoW a larger number of fast horses thanpthose of any previous year. and it is expected that close heats will be run every day at the fair.
 There are special rates from all points to West Kingston on fair days, and from every indication the 37th annual fair will go down in history as the most successful vet held on the his- toric fair grounds.

TRoWBRIDGE BARN
 BURNED TO GROUND. Boxes 32 and 43 Failed to Send in
 AIarm-$50O Loss.

Willimantic. Aug 16.-Shortly after II o'clock this evening there sounded three strokes on the fire alarm. and everyone thought that it was false alarm, but the system was out of or der. and Elmer M Young then tried to send in an alarm from box g, box 43 having failed to work. He got no response from the second box and then ran to the Bank street engine house and pulled in box 43 by the rope. When he discovered the fire he was sitting in the doorway of Chinese laundry on Church street, next to his place of business talking with the proprietor and Charles Bass. Chancing to look up, he saw a bright glare re- fiected on the Spire of the M. E. church across the street. He ran to the alley between A. D. SpelIman x Co.'S and Henry Snyder's bakery and saw a fire in the rear of the alley. Just then two fellows ran up the alley, remark ing There's a fire down there.' The department arrived shortly, and a sec ond alarm was sent in, calling out the entire department. The fire, which was a fierce one while it lasted was practically confined to the barn owned by Adelbert Trowbridge and used by Henry Snyder
 Three horses with harness and wag- ons were safely gotten out When the firemen arrived the fire had gained great headway and before it was un- der control the two story barn was practically consumed and was a total loss, estimated at $500 by it's owners. but is covered by insurance.
 There were four tons of hay also in the barn, and MT Snyder carried $50 insurance thereon. Murphy Brothers she'd at the north. caught fire on the roof but the blaze was quickly put out with fire extinguishers. A shed at the south of the burned barn, used as q storehouse by Henry N. Hyde, the truckman, to store flour for Tucker & Goodwin of Hartford, and pretty well filled with flour. caught fire on the roof but not until some damage had been done by water. Chief Wade Y. Webster gave his opinion that the fire was caused by spontaneous com bustion, as two of the four tons of hay were green. An unusually large crowd of people was attracted by the alarm, as the fire was located in the center of the business section of the city. The recall was sounded at 11.57.
