of q, with a first-rate English edu-
cation and training.
1t was estimated at the time of old
Fields death that Marshall H., as his
share of the estate, would get $72,-,
100000 and Henry $48,O0O,O00. But
that has grown some, of course; for
the will provided that Marshall should
only get a part of the income until
he was %, when he was to get $780,
900 all at one crack, and the same
amount when he became 80, IS and
40 years old. ~
In the meantime, all he was to
get was one-half of the net income Of
his share, which was large enough,
however, to keep the wolf from the
door.
But every day the estate has gone
on piling up and nobody knows now
but the trustees how much this
young man is worth, although they
may have a faint idea of how thou
sands of men and women-and pos
sibly children-are working with all
their might to pile up millions for a
boy who never earned a cent In his
life.
He doesn't have to work now any
harder than he wants to. The Mer-
chants Loan & Trust Co. is working
for him-and for Henry, too. And
Chauncey Keep is working for him.
Also John G. Shedd, Stanley Field,
Jimmy Simpson and every employee
in the big Field store and allied fac

NORTH WiNDHAM CONCERN
 LOCATED IN NEW FACTORY
L. M. Hartson Go. Has Plant In Full OPeration-fireproof Structure.

The l.. M Harrison Co. of North Windham which for several months after their disastrous fire Of Sept. IA, 1913, did business in the building now in their new fireproof quarters. and ous1ly engaged in the work of turning out silk mill supplies.
 Their new building is approximately 12o by 36 feet, including a small wing used as the drying room It is built of concrete, with brick partitions and cement stairways There is no wood in the building itself, save the doors and window frames, so that if another hre should ever get start there. 1t could be confined to one room without any difficulty. The mill is well lighted and spacious, although even better light will be obtained when the ceilings are dry enough to admit of painting. White will be the color used.
 The ground floor contains the fur mace room, drying room. engine room, and large room for manufacturing. The heat supplied is nearly all obtained by the us of waste products in the fur mace. thus reducing fuel cost by a large percent. In the engine room is the same engine which was in the old mill, refurbished and in as good con dition as before the fire. There is also a small generator, which will furnish the artificial light used in the plant.
 The method used in drying the wood used in the plant is interesting. The air is drawn by means of a pump, and returns to the dry-room at about the temperature of one hundred degrees. Here the wood is kept until in per- feet condition for use
 The main part of the ground floor is used wholly for wood working. Here the Vermont plans are sawed to their respective sizes, and here they are fashioned into bobbinS and the many other things which the plant produces. Over twenty sizes of bob bins alone are made in the mill, there being four four varieties, solid hol- low. paper-tpped and on-tipped.
 The second floor is devoted chiefly to wire and metal work. although it Is not safe to assert what use is made or the machines from one visit. so many different products are turned out by the concern. Something every day may be manufactured and all the company's products are made from the raw material in their own mill
 IL can readily be seen that work of this ehdngeablo nature requires eXper- fenced and skilled mechanics. as a man may work for week or two on one task and then be asked to produce an entirely different article.
 The office of the company is also up on the second floor, well lighted and arranged for the work in hand. Then there Is also a stoPeroom where are to bo AOuAd ouuS anu SHuS plcbeQ up arJer the fire, These are sorted over as occasion demands, and practically eV- cry day something which can be used Tn the production of some one of the articles turned out by the mill Te make every thing count and waste 1othiRg that can be used is the policy of the company.
 That the Harrison mill has been rebuilt and is running again Is a cause TOT rejoicing in North Windham which has suffered two severe fire losses in six months. The mill employs from thirty to thirty-five hands, and a good class of labor

THAMES SQUARE GARAGE BUILDING Large Brick Addition Cover Entire Two Stories High
 Changes and Repair Work About Town

Increasing business has necessitated more room at the Thames Square gar age and plans are being prepared for the erection of an addition to the side and rear of their present quarters. The addition will give the garage owners about three times the floor space they now have. The lot owned by the garage on Thames square is 160X80 and the present building measures 23x 70. The addition will cover the entire lot and will be two stories in height It is to be constructed of brick with cement floor, and tar and gravel roof When the building is completed the repairing quarters will be located on the first floor and the main garage will be on the second floor. It is eN- pected that the work will be com menced about April l.
 7efrieerating System.
 4 large refrigerating system has been recently installed at the grocery and meat store of RozycIzi Brothers on North Main street. Ammonia s@ used as the cooling fluid and the am monia pump is located in the cellar of the store. The pump is operated by an electric motor and works auto matically. The ice box is situated midway between the store room and the main store on the ground floor. The ammonia pipes enter at the rear of the ice box and running along one side return to the pumping apparatus down thrown the floor near the en- trance. The temperature may be reg ulated to any degree and it remains practically constant, varying only a few degrees. When the ice box warns ever so little the automatic pump is set in action and the temperature is thus lowered.
 The system does away with the bother of filling the ice box every two 1y- dow h i-n md nomicaI The ammonia has also been piped through a large show case in the store at the left of the North Main street entrance so that meats, etc may be placed in the case without fear of spelling. A group of small cabinets with glass doors. located in back of the counter have been equipped sim ilarly.

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from 14 to Io years of age undergo physical changes which tax their strength to the utmost and the strain is always apparent from pale cheeks, colorless lips, and tired bodies-someimes eruptiors of the skin and the utter lack of the ambition and animation with which their younger years were filled.
 Budding into wornanhood and man. hood, with the duties of school or business, demands concentrated nouris b n Ut which is readily convertible into red blood corpusc1es, energy and strength. and tho very best thing for this changing age is the medical nutriment iu Scott's Emul- sion-it possesses the rare blood-making properties of cod liver oil in a predi. gested form. hypophosphites for the nervous system. with the healing. sooth- ing qualities of pure glycerine.
 Its nourishing force promotes assimila. ton, yields direct returns in abundant. red blood, fills hollow cheeks. tones the nerves, makes all good food do good. and does 1t in a natural easy n1auHer.
