it from every part of the city.
In several instances women who
did not feel they could afford to pay
carfare, because of their small supply
of cash, walked many miles in a

The municipal grocery store does
not promise to sell any special brands, =,
but it does promise to sell good, clean,

Already members of the Retail Pro-

made an investigation of the store,

Mothers should know that the safe medicine for their children is Father Johns Medicine because it does not contain alcohol or dangerous drugs in any form. It is best for colds and coughs and to give new strength-it is a pure and wholesome tonic and body builder.
 Miss Ellen O'Leary, matron of the Children's Home in Lowell, Mass, says: I have forty or fifty children here at the Childrens Home con- stantly. When they are weak or run down, I always give them Father Johns Medicine to build them up. They gain rapidly under the treat ment the medicine affords. Whenever they get cold or have cough or throat irritation, Father Johns Medi- cine gives prompt relief. (Signed) ELLEN O'LEARY, Matron, Chill dren's Home, Lowell, Mass.'

 Many Dog Licenses Issued. Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw and his assistant, Miss Olive Shaw, breathed sighs of relief last evening, after having pu: in one of the most strenuous days this year. It was the last day upon which dog owners . could have their dogs licensed for the ordinary fee, and it seemed that everyone had waited until the elev- enth hour. Little else was done at the office during the day than just attend to dog licenses, al4d the town clerk now dreams about dogs, talks dogs and eats ("hot") dogs. He es- inmates that about 2S2 licenses were givel. out during the month of April, slightly less than the number issued last year.

 Many Berlin people were surprised to find pretty little May baskets hanging on the door knobs to their ltcmes this morning. The children of the town were out in large forces last evening. for it was May Day-their day for celebration.

Babcock, i'll which he explains that conditions at the institution were un- satisfactory to him. He did not like pauper life fin the Hardware City, ac- cording to his letter, and decided to leave. He writes that he is now with his aunt in Waterbury and that he proposes to remain in that city.
 Williams, in his letter, stated that there is nothing but filth and dirt in the New Britain poorhouse and the conditions, sanitary at least, in that institution are far worse than they are in the state hospital, from which he wrote several communications to the town officials and friends pleading for his release.
 Some of his clothes are still at the Town home and he has requested his cOnservator to forward them to him.
 While Williams is insane, there ap- pears to be no disposition on the part of his conservator or the town officers to disturb him, as long as his relatives are satisfied to take care of him.

Mrs. N. E. Moody, Former PIdR-
 vile Resident, Passes Away.
PROMINENT TEMPERANCE ADVOCATE
Funeral Will Be Held Here Monday Afternoon at 2:3O-Judge Malone to Lecture Here-Irving B. Williams Is in Waterbury With His Aunt.

Mrs. Nancy E. Moody, for years a
 prominent temperance worker and
 recognized as the mother of the w. c.
 T. U. of Connecticut, died yesterday
 at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
 Bessie M Scott of Pequabuck. Mrs.
 Moody was a nonogenarian and was
 in her ninety-tirst year. She was a.
 former we'll known resident of Plain
 ville and had many friends here.
 Her funeral will be held Monday
 afternoon at 2:SO from the home of
 her son, Dr. Charles w. Moody o1
 West Main street. Services will be
 conducted at the house by Rev. Spen-
 cer F.. Evans of Terryville, assisted by
 Rev. F. l.. Grant, pastor of the local
 Congregational church. Internent will be in West cemetery.
 Mrs. Moody was a native of North
 Haven but spent a great part of her early life in this town. She was an exceptionally active church worker and for years was a noted temperance advocate She had the distinction of being the first woman to speak from the pulpit of the Center church in Hartford and also one of the first to make an address in the old Davenport church in New Haven.
 During her career as a temperance worker Mrs. Moody appeared before the legislature on several occasions in support of measures which had the endorsem ent of. the w. c. T. U. She
 was we'll known and greatly respected
 by the lawmakers even those who disagreed with her, and her opinions were always given attention. She in- yariably appeared in the legislative halls carrying a Bible and was pre- ] turesque figure. She was largely re- sponsible for getting a bill passed pro- hibiting the sale of liquor within a half mile of fair grounds At that time she was serving as state super1n- tendent of fair work. Many other temperance laws were passed through her energetic efforts
 She had a kindly disposition and all who came in contact with her ad- hired and respected her. Her great est ambition she often told her friends, was to live to see the enactment of g. national prohibition law. She firmly believed that before her career was ended there would be no liquor sold in any part of the country.
 Infirmities incident to old age made it impossible for her to continue her activities during the past few years and since she broke her hip four years ago. she had been able to be about but little.
 Mrs. Moody is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Scott of Pequabuck, with whom she lived for several years. She also leaves two sons, Henry A. Moody of Pequabuck and Dr. c. w. Moody of this place; two grandsons, pr. Raymond w. Moody, who is located at Middletown, N. Y., and Walter. M. Scott, an instructor in Sheffield Scientific school, and one
 granddaughter, Miss Helen B. Scott
 of Pequabuck.

BERLIN VETERANS ELECT E. 1. CLARK

While running to steal second base in a baseball game played near his home on Percival avenue in Kensing- ton, last evening, Earl Lewis, the six teen-year- old son of Assistant Judge Charles F. Lewis, collided with the second baseman and fractured his left leg just above the ankle. Dr. Leroy Aastin Havey of Southington and Dr. George N. Dunn of New Britain were summoned to attend him. Today, he was resting as comfortably as might be expected. He is a member of the Sophomore class at the New Britain High school and it is improbable that he will be able to resume his studies again this year.
 The accident occurred about 5:3O o'clock. Young Lewis was engaged in a neighborhood ball game, had suc- ceeded in smashing out safe hit in the last half of the seventh inning. and was within a few feet of the sec ond bag, when he ran into a play mate. Other. players thought he had simply bruised his leg, but when he could not arise, they knew his in- taries were more serious. He was carried to his home by Rev. Carleton Hagen, pastor of the Kensington Con-

 KANTIsHNA DOING WELL

C. F. Ingersoll, of the Kantishna dis trict, who is in Cordova awaiting the sailing of the Mariposa for the states. says that fox farming in his section is no small industry at the present time. and number of old-timers have de- serted the mining game to take up the business of raising fur-bearing ami mals. At the present time there are a number of very valuable animals in the Kantishna. but it is such a risky proposition to move them at this time that the owners consider it more ad- visable to wait until warmer weather.
 lngersoll describes the Kantishna as an ideal place to reside now, and says that during the summer n tray eler will meet many pretty places with beautiful gardens. and even flower beds, in the wilderness.

TO PAY DAMAGES FUR OBTAINING
 CARGOES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-Presldent Wilson, referring today to the note sent to Great Britain by the State Department, insisting upon better treatment of American commerce at the hands of British warships, declared that eventually Great Britain would pay large damages to the owners Of vessels and cargoes which had been unlawfully seized and detained by that government
 When asked If the communication sent to Great Britain was a result of the recent gathering of Pan American diplomats in this city, he said "No," and said that the position taken by this country would apply to any neu- tral nation, and the contentious ad- vanced by the United States were not peculiar to this country alone. The President declared that the note was based on the generally accepted prin- ciples of international law.
