f. l.. Waterman in county court yester-
day placed three Waterbury young
men, the oldest but is years old, on
probation for term of two years af-

believed they committed the act ignor-
ant of its seriousness. All promised
to behave themselves and obey their
parents in the future.

A Windjammer Girl.

Few girls have the experience that
has fallen to the lot of Dorothy Ander-
son, the 15-year- daughter of the
captain of the four-masted bark Day
light. With her father and her mother
she has made many voyages to strange
lands and has sailed more than 1000
miles aboard the big square rigger.
She has known the fascination of the
Far East, of China and Japan, the
whiting heat of tropical islands and the
beauties of Melbourne and sydney.
The Daylight has cireled the globe sew
Ieral times, and on one of these
voyages Dorothy was in the ship s
company. Her home is at Abernethy,
in Scotland, but she has no desire to
go back there while new wonders of
the world are in store for her.
When the Daylight was in the port
of New York last loading case oil for
Shanghai Dorothy told some of her ex-
periences. The one which she seemed
to enjoy telling most was about q
storm which came up suddenly when
the ship was off the South American
coast bound for New York.
"A terrible thing happened during
this storm, said she, though really she
seemed to think it was a huge joke
cit was at night and / was sleeping
| in the bed with my mother. Oh, how
the wind blew and whined through the
rigging! The whole thing came up sud
denly and I forgot to close the ports
as father told me to do.
"Well, we had the most dreadful
flood, mother and I. A big wave came
crash up against the side and tons OF
water seemed to come into our cabiT
through the port. And then, kersmash
another one before / could get the port
lcabin-all our things swimming about
shoes and clothes and everything, ant
the room ankle deep in water.
:" Hurry, Dorothy, and close the
lport before another one comes, sale
mother. / did so and we finally CLEANED
Iup the cabin so that father neve
knew we were flooded. But it wa
funny seeing all those things swimming
about, though. The storm was Just on
of those sudden tropical blows, but i
came up so suddenly that it blew som

Dorothy has a lot of friends i
Shanghai, Yokohama and Kobe, whic
are the ports the. Daylight usually call
at on her outbound trip. A Japanes
merchant in Kobe gave her very hi
doll on the last voyage out, and
smart little dog, which she has name

Favor Preparedness.
lClaremont Eagle. }

A canvass of senators and repre-
sentatives taken by the New York
World, indicates that majority of both
houses favor liberal program of pre-
paration for national defense. This
goes to show that the members of con
gress are after all somewhat repre-
sentative of the sentiment of their con
stituencies. Those who cry "MiIi-
arism!'' and see in every effort to
guard our frontiers the word of alarm
lists and those interested in the manu-
| facture of war materials, are fortunate.
| ly in the minority. Most Americans
desire and demand such preparedness
as will relieve the impression that the
United States is an easy mark for the
aggression of foreign governments. Be
yond that, the people of the United
States have no wish to go; but less
than that they refuse to consider.

COURAGE is COMMON IN THIS
WAR.

London, Mar oS-Every Englishman
knows how to die bravely. The Irish,
Scotch and English soldiers face the
bayonets. the machine guns as though
out on dress parade. 1t is the men who
sicken and die in the trenches. or at
home after an arduous campaign that
our sympathy goes out to most. There
are thousands of such men behind the
battle lines who went to the front with
out the strong constitution and good
pure blood to withstand the deprivations,
the hardships of the campaign In Bel
gium and France. It's warning that
we should pay strict attention to our
stomach. liver and blood. If one is all
out of sorts he should take an invigor-
ating tonic and alternative such as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which
cures diseases Of the stomach and or
cans Of digestion and nutrition. 1t elm
mates from the blood disease breeding
nelson's. It makes the blood rich and
pure, and furnishes a foundation for
sound, physical health. Fifty years ago,
DR.. Pierce. of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. y.
found that certain barks and roots man
ufactured by using glycerine without the
use Of alcohol or opiates, made into a
concentrated extract. which he called
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
made a stimulating tonic for the SIM
ulation of the food and eradicated stom-
ach, helped the digestion and assists ma
ture in eliminating poisons from the
blood. This is natures cure for indiges-
ton. and by correcting the stomach, and
thereby feeding the blood on pure mater
ials, the red blood carpuscles are in
creased and the body established in a
healthy state. No one suffers from ca
tarrh who has plenty of red blood cor
puscles and a good digestion. Catarrh
in all its forms is a stagnation of the
blood. Introduce pure red blood into the
system by taking the Medical Discov-
cry and health is assured.-Adv.
