CURES RHEUMATISM
Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen Joints and Muscles Drives Rheumatic Pains Away

It is needless to suffer any longer with rheumatism. and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape with it's heart-wrenching pains, when you can easily avoid it.
 Rheumatism comes from weak, in- active kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood, the poisonous waste mat ter and uric acid; and it. is useless to rub on Hniments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only prolongs the misery and can't possibly cure you.
 The only way to cure rheumatism Is to remove the cause. The new dis covery. Croxone, does this because it neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles to scratch and irritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out and strengthens the stopped-up inactive kidneys, so they can filter the poison from the blood, and drive it on and out of the system.
 Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for curing ehron- bladder disorders. You will find it different from all other remedies There is nothing else on earth like it. It matters not how old you are. or practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. You will find relief from the first few doses. and you will be surprised how quickly all your misery and suffering will endf
 An original package of Croxone costs but triffe at any first class drug store such as that of Lee & Os- good Co. All druggists are auth esAxed to sell it on a positive money back guaranteei Three doses a day for few ssdays} is+ often aM that is ever needed to cure the worst back ache or overcome urinary disorders

FIRE IN GILBERT'S WAGON SHED
Blaze Discovered Thusday Night To- o.30May Have Been Started by Some Weary Wayfarer Who Made His Couch There Quick Work by Fire Department Three Wagons Burned

creeping along the fence at the rear and threatening the garage of Dr. w J. Hanford, which is on the adjoining lot and close to the fence. The three streams made short work of the blaze. Chief Stanton arrived soon after the first stream was on and directed the work. The recall was sounded in about 20 minutes.
 The roofs of the sheds were covered with so-caiIed hreproof paper which aided in holding the fire down and from spreading as fast as it otherwise would have done Three wagons be- longing to the N s. Gilbert & Sons company were under the shed and were badly burned. One was double team wagon which the company has had for about 30 years, but was still in good shape; the other was a single team wagon and the third was a buggy which was used for many years by the late N. s. Gilbert. The first two were dragged out on fire and the blaze extinguished, but the buggy was a total loss.
 Wagons from the adjacent livery stable of O, H. Reynolds were pulled out into the street as a precaution, put the fire did not reach the livery stable.
 The flames shot up high enough to set fire to a tree on the bank back of the sheds. but g. stream of water quickly put this out.
 For the last two nights Policeman Morgan has found men sleeping in the wagons under the shed, but last night he had not got around as far as that before the fire. as he was off on an other duty on another part Of his beat

Fire No. came along on Thursday night to help out the hremens super stftion that when there is one there will be three. This time it was in the wagon sheds of the N.s S. Gilbert & Sons company on the lot where their factory is at the corner Of Chestnut and Willow streets. From the habit well known to the police which local and other weary wayfarers have of picking out the wagons under the shed as a place to sleep in. it is supposed that an explanation might be found of its cause, as dropped match or cigarette could have easily started the blaze.
 It had gained good headway and was blazing up brightly when discovered by J. W. Barker as he was coming down past the corner of Broadway and Willow street. He promptly ran to Box B, from which he turned in the alarm at about 10.30. The box is on Union square at the Broadway Congre- gatiohaI church corner.
 MT. Barker stayed at the box to di- rect the apparatus when it arrived, but the light of the fire made it easy to locate at once

 When the f1remen arrived the wagon sheds were a sheet of flame and the blaze had also extended into the ad- joining shed under which loose lumber was stored. The flames were also

MAKES GIFT OF
 HISTORICAL VALUE Miss Helen Fitch Presents Book to New London County Society.

The New London County Historical society has received valued gift from Miss Helen Fitch. It is a book, en- titled The Panorama of St Helena It shows views of the island and of Ma poleon's house there. The views were collected by Mrs J. c. C. Knoblauck, nee Miss Mary Brown, daughter of Capt. ". R. Brown of New London.
 Miss Fitch is particularly interested in St. Helena. Whaling ships travel stopped at St. Helena for water and it happened that two of Miss Fitch's uneles were there with their ships at the time that Napoleon's body was taken away.
 In this connection it is of interest that the big willow tree on Williams Memorial park at New London grew from a scion brought from a tree on Napoleon'S tomb and planted in the park by Miss Fitch's aunt.

IS EARLIEST EASTER
 SINCE YEAR 1865
Consolation for Men. but Little for
 Women.

Florists, mi1liners and women who enjoy Easter fnery and display are not pleased because Easter day this year falls on Sunday. March 23, which is the earliest Easter since 1S56- LiI- Hes. azaleas, hyacinths. tulips and other flowers are being forced in hot houses so that they can appear in time for Easter. which. it is feared, will be a chilly day.
 Lent began February 5. One would have to go forward 101 years before he reaches an earlier date on which Ash Wednesday will again fall. If he chooses to go back. February 3, in the year 3S7 A. D. he will find the very earliest Ash Wednesday known. The point is that Lent this year comes within two days of the worlds record for an early appearance and nothing that even matched it has occurred for 57 years.
