"Jaek In the Box .sIands." :"

It is said that the natives of the Aleutian islands have given the name "Jack in the Box islands" to the curi- ous chain that extends out toward Asia from Alaska. They are like stepping stones laid for q giant ill the ocean by which he might tread the sea dryShod. A writer in the Philadelphia Ledger says that they may perhaps be used some day as the Florida keys are used, as the support of seagoing railroad, with the widest gaps covered hv rail- road ferryboatS. These islands appear and disappear in a curious way in con- nection with the activity of BogOSlOf. a small volcano that is among them. Fire island. appeared in 1883, Perry is- land in 1905, Mccullough peak in 19nG, but disappeared the next year. An other island became visible in l909.- Christian Science Monitor.
 "Mad Anthony" Way 1e.
 The nickname of Mad Anthony" at- tached to the name of General Wayne of Revolutionary fame was due to no trace of insanity. but instead to the mans wild, reckless courage in plung- ing into battle where the odds against him seemed hopeless. He had other nicknames too. Dandy Wayne" was one of them. because of his absurd love for wearing fine clothes in the wilderness and in battle. The Indians gave him the nickname of Black Snake" from the swift and deadliness of his attack. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary war Sir Henry Clinton said of Wayne: Wherever Mad An thony Wayne is there's always fight. That's what he is there for" And Clinton had sufficient experience to know whereof he spoke.

 FROM WEAK, INACTIVE KIDNEYS

 ! costs but a trifhe. and commence it's use at once. When you have taken few doses you will be surprised how differently you will feel.
 Croxone cures the worst cases of kidney. bladder trouble and rheuma
 tism, because it removes the cause. Pills, tablets and other remedies, merely give temporary relief at the
 best. Croxone cleans out the kid neys and makes them filter out all
 the poisonous waste matter and uric acid that lodge in the joints and mus
 cles, causing rheumatism; soothes and
 heals the bladder, and quickly effects permanent, positive, lasting cure. You will find Croxone different from all ofher remedies. There is
 nothing else on earth like it. It mat ters not how old you are or how long you have suffered. it is so prepared that it is practically impossible to | take 1t into the human system with
 out results
 You can secure an original package of CroxOne from any first class drug
 gist, e1Ich as The Lee & Osgood Co,
 who will personally return the pur- chase DEice if it fails to give the de-
 sired results the very first time you use it.

BEHIND IN ITS ORDERS.
Putnam Foundry 6 Machine Company Rushing Werk-Must Enlarge Plant.

It was said here Thursday that the extraordinary development of the bus mess of the Putnam Foundry and Ma chine company will probably result in eventually doubling of the capital Of the company, making the amount $250,000. This, of course, will mean a decided increase in the size and ca pacity of the plant and the number of hands employed, all of which will be very good news for the people of the city.
 It is understood that from January of the present year up to Wednes- day the foundry built and delivered 1,051 heaters, and that time the com pany was 1S2 heaters behind in it's or ders. The week before last 40 heaters were built complete at the foundry and last week 50 more were turned out. The company manufactures Y different sizes of heaters. Since Sep tember 1 the company has all of the time been anywhere from 150 to 200 heaters behind their orders.
 At the present time, working at the fullest capacity, the local foundry can not turn out sufficient castings, SC from four to five tons a week are be- ing purchased from other foundriss The sales of the local company seen limited only by their ability to pro- duce.
 The foundry and machine compan! | is one of Putnam's most prosperou: and rapidly growing industries.

State Policeman Robert Hurley of Hartford came here Thursday and started the work of picking up the trail that it is hoped will lead to the arrest of Putnam's f1rebug.

Recent Reports Show Hundred Suffer With Kidney Troubles
 and Don't Know It.

There are scores of nervous, tired, rundown people throughout the city suffering with pains in the back and sides, dizzy spells, weaknesses of the bladder (frequently causing annoy ance at night), who fail to realize the seriousness of their troubles until such conditions as chronic rheuma- tism, bladder trouble, dropsy, diabetes or even Bright's disease result.
 All this is due to weak, inactive kidneys. The kidneys are the f1lterers of the blood, and no one can be well and healthy unless the kidneys work properly. It is even more important than that the bowels move regularly.
 If you suffer with such symptoms don't neglect yourself another day and run the risk of serious eomplica- tions. Secure an original package of the new discovery, Croxone, which

BEST TIMES EVER.
Indicated by Record Deposits in Wind ham County National Bank-Work For All and Liberal Wages.

Tfre general prosperity that manu- facturfng concerns, business houses and the various groups and sub-divt- sions of persons in industrial life are enjoying in this vicinity at present is reflected in the total of deposits in the Wiudham County National bank, now at their highest record in the his tory of the institution. The bank S balance when the doors were opened for business Thursday morning was thousands of dollars higher than ever before, and in excess of $40O, 600.
 The cost of living may be high, but the indfsputable evidence is that the chances for getting the money to pay for the living have never been better than at the present time No man lu this territory is idle because he cannot get work. and from interviews with hg employers of labor the fmpressi n is gained that the top wave of goo,i times has not nearly been reached. All indications are for long contia- ued period of prosperity. Business con- dStons and prospects were never be- ter fin Danielson than they are today.
 Town Likely to Build Road.

Conn., missioner MacDona1d is well acauaint- ed with the efficiency of Killfng4ya system of state road building, and it is not likely that he will overlook the matter of the towns low figures for doing the work.

oRPHEUM THEATER.
Crowded House Diverted by "The Mil.
 lionn Thursday Evening.

It is not often that Danieison audi ences have had an opportunity to wit ness such a high class production IS Manager Owner William s. Brown of fered in The Million at the Orpheum theater Thursday evening. That his efforts to give in the local theatrical field better class of attractions than M has heretofore been possible to bring to this town is appreciated, is indicat- ed by the crowded house that laughed and gurgled and laughed some more, and again, at the shower of merri- ment of the big mirth- producing show.
 The Million is a farce that has been accurately described as necessarily ri- d1culous. and as far as the plot pro- videS for situations and the company s ability to make the most of what the author has done is concerned the de- scription is adequate. Danielson au- dienceS at the present time are not sufficiently bizarre not to be startl cd in some slight degree by certain pro- visions-or lack of provision-hy the atrical arrangements In costuming 2 leading female characters, but it was got noticed Thursday evening that the sculptors model in The Million had to play before an audience of persons with closed eyes-no, not at all
 The advance sale of seats for the attraction was one of the largest re- corded since the Orpheum opened a little more than 8 year ago.

 perity Indicated by Big Bank De- posits-State Highway Contract Likely to Come to the Town.
 In all probability a substantial re- ductien from the present charges for gas and electricity will be made about Jan by the Danielson and Plainfie'i Gas and Electric company.
 The reduction talked of has not at t1iis time the stamp of verification from the officials of the lighting com pany, but it is known that they have had the matter of the lowering of fateg under consideration for long time and in all probability the low cred schedule of charges will be put into effect the first of the year.
 The Plainfield and Danielson lighting companies have been consolidated within the last few months,and great deal of money expended in rearrang- ing and adding to the equipment Of plants and in extending transmission lines. The changes made will result in permitting the company to sell it's product at a more attractive price.
 Not only Danielson, but Dayville, Elmville, East Brooklyn, Central Vil- lage, Moosup and Plainfield are served by the company with public lighting service. The electricity distributed is generated at the companys plant at Plainfleld and distributed over the ter ritory mentioned. At the Danielson plant of the company there is gas manufacturing equipment
 The impending reduction of rates for this territory follows closely on the heels of that announced for Putnam this week by the Putnam Light and Power company. Up in that town which gives service to Pomfret and Woodsto *, the reduction in gas rates is from 15 to IS per cent. from the present basis of charging, and the re- duction on electricity is from 20 cents to 15 cents a kilowatt, about 25 pe1 cent generally, although there are some exceptions as shown by the de- tail schedules.
 A reduction of rates in the loca, territory will lead to a great increase in the use of gas and eSectricfty, espa- cially the latter. Though a public lighting service has been maintained here for more than a score of yeas5 the use of it has not been generally taken advantage of to the extent that 1t will be now, with A hour service and cheaper rates.

the EfTe or the Borough
 The Colchester Boys club is about one and one-half years old. Upon coming here in September, 1912, Diree- tor NJ. D. Wood found a new problem, that of the work of the Boys club in the small town. The club rooms are in the basement of the public library of the town, which is located near the center; there Is one large room, with four opening from it. There are shuf- feboard, caroms, piRgpong, checkers, chess, inside baseball and various other games. The director hopes soon to have a eUe-roque table At present there are about 65 in the membership, from 12 to IS years of age, over one half of them being Jewish boys of the old orthodox type. The boys from 12 to IA have the use of the club rooms from to s in the afternoon, and those over IA from to g in the evening. This was thought wise, as with the younger boys using the games both afternoon and evening the older fellows . would have no time at the games, and that the place for the younger boys was at home. There being no manual training clasg in the academy here, one
