FIGHTING DISEASE GERMS

There is a popular idea that most sick ness is caused by germ of the disease finding entrance to our bodies through the food we eat, the water or milk we drink or the air we breathe. This is true as far as it goes but it is also true that disease germs are entering our bodies every day without causing disease.
 The reason for this is that there arc forces within the body that arc constant ly fighting these disease germs and 1t IS only when this defence is weakened that the germs get the upper hand and we be. come i'll. One of the most powerful ot these forces that work for health is rich, red blood. Good, healthy blood increases the resistance of the body to the dis eases that are always threatening. It is easier to keep up this resistance by taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills, eating proper food, avoiding articles of food that do not agree with us and getting plenty of fresh air day and night, than it is to cure disease after it gets a foot hold. Keep up the resistance of your body to disease by these tonic pills, which you can get at any drug store, and you will avoid much sickness.
 Two booklets, sfBuilding Up the Blood' and "What to Eat and How to Eat" will be sent free by the pr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y

Heavy Object Crashes Through Top
 Of J. H: Conn|ey's Machine.
BAKERS APPLICATION GRANTED
Transfer of License for Kensington SaIOon-Kev. Watson Woodruff in Town-Sunday School Boys Can't Attend Excursion.

A heavy branch, about fifteen feet long, dropped from one of the high maple trees just opposite the town clerks office yesterday afternoon and struck on the top of J. H. Coflnley,s automobile, just as he was passing along underneath. The impact of the fall was sufficient to break two, bows of the framework of the top, one of which struck MT. Connley slight blow on the top of his head He was rot injured but was forced down in the seat. Mrs. Connley. who was sit ting in the front seat with her hus- band, escaped uninjured.
 In talking about the accident this morning, Mr. Connley expressed the opinion that he and his wife might have been seriously injured or instant ly killed had it not been for the fact that the top of the automobile hap pcned to be up, owing to the rain. Undoubtedly, the branch would have struck the couple heavy blow.
 Baker Gets License.
 The county commissioners have granted the application of John T.. Baker of Kensington for a transfer of the liquor license for the Nutmeg house cafe on Depot square. The license, which was written in the names of John Woods and John T. Baker, now bears only the name of the latter because, by a dissolution of partnership, he is at present sole manager of the place.
 There was no remonstrance against MT. Bakers application and he was the only person present at the hear ing, held in the county building at Hartford Monday morning
 A prominent local temperance worker, when consulted in regard to the matter this morning, remarked that he did not deem it worth while to oppose the application for license at this time as the license wear is drawing near to a close now anyway.

 Chicken Thieves Busy.
 Chicken thieves are again active in this locality and poultry owners are keeping d sharp watch on their hem neries. The loss of several fowl dur ing the past few weeks has been re- ported from different parts of the town and it is thought that a we'll or ganized gang is operating around the hen houses.
 Several poultry fanciers have had their henneries equipped with traps while others have installed alarms and nocturnal visitors have a warm reception in store for them at sever al places.
 Must Get Mail Boxes.
 Postmaster F. J. Prior has notified people desirous of taking advantage of the city delivery system to have boxes or other receptacles installed in their places by Saturday or the car riers will take them off their lists. The postal department requires that every one served by the carrier must provide mail receptacle.
 When the service was inaugurated a month ago, a large percentage of the patrons of the office purchased boxes and since that time others have followed suit, leaving at present only a few who are without receptacles of some description.
 Owners of some of the stores of West Main street as well as people who want their mail delivered to pri- vate dwellings but who have not as yet supplied boxes are receiving their mail from the carriers but the post master has warned them to get the necessary receptacles by the first of August or the service to them will be discontinued.
 Complain to Superintendent.
 The selectmen have taken up with Manager Beardsley of the Connecticut company the matter of discontinuing the practice of stopping trolley cars to discharge passengers at the corner of Whiting street and Central Square. They claim that the cars interfere with vehicular traffic and that there is grave danger of accidents while they are standing at this point.
 They have suggested to the man. agement that the cars be stopped at the end of the double track in front of the Allderidge block. The com rany is satisfied with this plan and after the paving of the street is com pleted passengers will be let off at this point.
