 barely escaping in her night clothes. Her wardrobe, watch and expensive library were all destroyed and there was no insurance. Mrs. Genung, state president, is asking that the women who are interested in her and her work in the different churches, may collect for her gift of money, to be presented at the May meeting to be held in Maiden, Mass, May 7th and 9th. Contributions may be sent to Mrs. Harriet Bronson Genung, Brooklyn, Conn.
 A definite hope that the state road will be completed and conditions bet tered in good time sustains the Will lington wayfarer, whether by team or automobile, on his usual pilgrimages to the borough. We enjoyed the rapid roundabout trip, however, with Mrs. Amidon on recent sunny day, and the first view of the beautiful new bridge made the afternoon a memo rable one. The excavations for the new block to be erected on Main street tempts the observer to express the hope that the architecture of the front may be in conformity to the line of the street. The situation being so conspicuous, the contour of the new building will mar or make the symmetry and dignity of the thoroughfare.
 The fine Sunday brought good at- tendance at church, and Rev. B. W. Darrow's earnest and forceful sermon from Joshua 24:15 held no uncertain tone. AS is always the case for a few Sundays after the time is changed to the afternoon, the attendance at preaching service and Sunday school falls off little. It always takes a little time for some people to adjust themselves to new conditions. Notice was given of the social Friday even ing at the conference room, when the new piano will be an attraction and prime factor in the musical program Miss Cunning is arranging. There will be an admission fee of 15 cents. This includes refreshments of cake and coffee. Cake is solicited by this notice. The proceeds of the concert are to go toward the payment of the new piano.
 From Mrs. Mabel Terry Bartlett we received the sad news of the death, after an illness of four days of angina pectoris, of Annie Winkoop, wife of Rev. Wilson R. Terry of Southfield, Mass, on the 24th inst. Mrs. Terry was much beloved during her hus- bands pastorate here and is affection ately remembered as an excellent Christian woman. For several years she had been great sufferer from rheumatism and had been obliged to walk with crutches: In recent letter she says: Although thankful for many comforts and blessings, I am tired of being sick and lame and shut in" So her change comes as a blessed release. Mr. Terry will live on at Southfield with Lincoln, the son born in the parsonage here, who was married recently. Paul will return to his position in New York and Mrs. Bartlett to her home and family in Newton, N. H.

IS YOURHAIR SLIPPING?

The presence Of dandruff and fall
ing hair conveys a warning which It
is best to heed. At first the loss Of
hair may be SO slight as to be hard
II noticeable. But 40 matter now
little may be the fall each day, it is
working toward the same and lnevita-
bic result, and that Ia total badness.
You may have hair enough today,
but how about tomorrow and the day
after? Dandruff and falling hair
mean badness sooner or later and
demand the immediate regular ana
energetic use OF Newbros Herpicide.
This Is the original" remedy that
kills the dsndrun germ and prevents
the hair from falling out. II keeps
the scalp free from dirt and dandruff
and allows the hair TO grow abundant
Il and naturally. BY this means and
t1ls means alone can total incurable
badness be prevented.
