DO YOU NEED BUILDING UP?

There are conditions of i'll health in
which no one particular organ appears to
be al fault, yetthepatient is miserable and
unable to pursue the activities of daily
life with vigor and enjoyment. Some
times the cause is attributed to the i'm
agination but the patient knows that the
debility is real.
The remedy evidently is medicine
that will benefit the whole system rather
than part. The blood reaches every
where and an improvement in its quality
is quickly followed by an improvement
in the whole organism. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills make visible improvement in
the condition of the blood. The micro
scope will verify this improvement but
the patient can see it in the mirror as
shown by increased color in cheeks and
lips and added brightness of the eyes.
There will also be new elasticity in the
step. These things record an improved
tone in the body and if this tonic treat
ment is persisted in for reasonable
length of time, depending upon the de-
gree of debility, the condition ofill health
will DE removed.
Those who are interested may obtain
the pamphlet Building Up the Blood"
free on request from the DIR. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. All
druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

PRESIDENT WILSON
SPEAKS AT ARLINGTON
Proposed Attack on the President Fails
Of Its Purpase-Senate and House
to Be Busy This Week

| Washington, June IA presidential
incident has enliveHed what would other
wise have been an uneventful Washing
| ton observance of Memorial day. 1t was
| the appearance of Mr.. Wilson at eXer-
cises held in the great national cemetery
at Arlington. Partisans have been ac-
tive in recent days, making great to-
do because the president declined an in
yitation to participate. He carefully
conscrves his strength and is averse to
appearing Mt public gatherings. But
many weeks aCo before the stress and
strain of the congressional session and
of the Mexican situation had become so
great, the president agreed to go to
Arlington next Thursday, when a con.
federate monument is to be dedicated.
To-day in their preparation to make
the matter as much to the presidents
embarrassment as they could, managers
OF the Grand Army observance sent post
haste for Speaker Champ Clark, who was
soiourning at Atlantic City. He agreed
to speak and was on hand Saturday
morning But word also came from the
White House that the president would
accept and, accordingly, very fine plans
for turning the observance into meet
ing denuneiatory of the president went
awry. There were less than 200 vet
Grams at Arlington, but it has been the
custom for many years for the president
to make Memorial day address there.
The disappointed leaders of the proposed
attack gave the president respectful
reception. but accorded Mr.. Clark an up.
roarious round of cheers. This was cal
culated to show their discrimination be-
tween the distinguished officials
Neither branch OF Congress was in ses-
sion Saturday, and all departments were
closed Practically all the official world
las been resting over the weekend.
Even the feyerish political talk which
has prevailed since Roosevelt's visit, has
ceased. Excessive heat impelled many
people TO 60 out OF town until Monday.
Government business is expected to
start with jump Monday. Senate and
House plan to make decided progress be-
fore another Saturday.

Searls was unable to be at his of- flee in Putnam Saturday but was here Monday morning.

Communication

10 t0e EullOT Di the IhtTlots
 The item in last weeks PATRIOT rel ative to our Savings Bank interested me greatly. It is quite probable that the bank has never been any worse off, in proportion, than every person and every institution in the country, for | depreciation in values hits verywhere alike. The recommendation that loans be made on the pass books up to so
 large a percentage Of their face value showed it's condition plain enough and to be told now that it is solvent is not surprising.
 But what is really surprising and what is the source of deep indignation among those who have the good name of the town at heart, is the threat that although the bank is in perfect condi- tion, it will not be opened unless Major Tourtellotte resigns.
 have no thought of writing eulo- gy of Major Tourtellotte but l should like to call the attention of our young CT people to a few facts concerning the man who is marked for the sacrifice, that they may know why l consider it would be most discreditable for us to allow him to be dismissed, without entering a vigorous protest.
 Nearly all of Major Tourtellotte's life has been spent in Putnam and many years of 1t in its service, a service that took him to the front at President Lineoln's first call, after that he immediately re-enlisted and wss not in Putnam again until the spring of 1865 when he returned as major. This entire service was given without money and without price to the credit of the town of Putnam it was the "eleventh hour" men who got the bounties). How many of our peo- pie who now see the quiet old gentle man going to and from the bank are aware that he is veteran Of that ter rible Civil war, that he suffered the hardships of camp life on the burning sands of the sea islands and the star vation processes of the filthy prison pens for period of nearly four years? He Is almost the last of the officers of the famous 7th Connecticut, the one that the Courant calls the General Hawley Regiment.
 And now, after a life time of rugged honesty of purpose, more than thirty years of which have been devoted to the best interests of our bank, he has reached the period when most men of his attainments, integrity and history are usually showered with kind atten- tions and honors (most communities being alive to the rarity of such oppor- tunities) but in this instance, 1t is pro- posed tn at his reward be ignominious dismissal.
 If this plan for his humiliation is adopted it will be one of the most un- just affairs in our history. It will cast the deepest reflection upon the real character of those nearest in control and his friends should bend every ef- fort to avert this destructive scheme.
 How much longer are we to submit without protest, to so many things that have been done to our decided disadvantage and in some cases, irrep- arable injury?
