 Or. Wra. I. McCann or Omaha. Neb., says :" As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, l have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home"
 Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says: It ig with great pleas ure that l desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. I have Used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughta', and have obtained excellent resul g from it's administration to oth T children in my practice"
 Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa, says "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it ar excellent remedy"

 Dr. Charming Fl. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo-, says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is . great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration.

 Dr. R. M.

 Westerly, R. l., June 2S. 1911. To the Westerly Fire District: The undersigned committee, appointed by the chair at the annual meeting held in the town hall Wednesday evening, December z. 1910. by virtue of the following vote, makes report: Voted. That committee of three be appointed by tine chair, at his con venieAee, to take into consideration the hiring of someone as chief engi- neer, whose headquarters shall be at the engine house. and that they report at a special meeting of the district to be held on or before the first of July, 1911.
 The committee reports that we have held several meetings, one of which was a joint meeting with the board of engineers of the ire district, at which meetings the matter referred to the committee was gone into in detail. After considering the matter fully, the committee is of opinion that eventu- ally it will be necessary ito hire some one as chief engineer, whose head quarters shall be at the engine house" but for the present, the system in use by the board of engineers and the various fire companies is sufficiently efficient for the purpose of handling the fire fighting service of the district; ana Iue committee, therefore, IecoiH- mends that no action be taken on the matter referred to it. at present.
