Mr.. Edmunds announced that two
scholarships were Open to Winthrop
College, one a business course, each
valued at 800, and that a scholarship
to the University of Virginia valued at
S95 was open. Those interested
might see Miss Arrnida Moses.
Mr.. Edmunds then told of the de-
cision of the board to make provision
for an additional grade. He said that
it was with trepidation that they
went into it, as it was an experiment,
but an experiment that had proved
successful. He had felt encouraged
when the course was endorsed by
President Balliol of New York, one
of the leading education thinkers
of the day, and President Jordon of
Stanford Lee University, California,
and now that President Snyder of
Wofford confirmed previous endorse
ments, he felt even more encourage
ed than ever before. He believed

which has done good work during
the year. On one side Of the room the
high school girls had a table
neatly set and ready for those who
would dine there, and in the center
of the hall the display of cooking was
very noticeable because of it's tempt

chicken were the ccnestibles which
the young ladies had prepared and
they looked good and smelled good,

colors of difficult designs and Of OBJ

interested the visitors. In sewing
there were a number of prettily made
aprons and caps bags and other artf-
cles, many of them monogramed by
the pupils. There were numerous
sketches in Palmer method and the
drills were skilfully and cleverly exe-
cuted During the evening several
young ladies who recently have been
awarded diplomas for completing the
course in penmanship showed the
uninitiated but interested spectators
just how it was done. One of most in
teresting Of the exhibits was that of
the work of those who had taken the
commercial coruse during the year.
Examples of dictation, billing, writing
and various other things that they
do in this course were to be seen.
To add to the pleasure of the visit
to the school, at both buildings young
ladies played choice selections on
Victrolas during the hours the ex-

MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less meat if you feel Backache or Have Bladder Trouble
 Take Glass of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. then we get sick Nearly all rheuma- tisn, headaches, liver trouble. ner- vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from slug gish kidneys
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by 8 sensation of scalding stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act 1ne This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- late the kidneys also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot iniure; makes delightful efferves- cent lithia- water drink which every- one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding seri ous kidney complications.

 Hart Still Dog Warden?
 Deputy Sheriff w. c. Hart is still acting as dog warden despite the ac- ton of the selectmen in naming Off, cer Philip Marine to serve in that ca- pacity.
 Sheriff Hart declares that he is not particularly anxious to hold the place but he claims he was appointed to serve until his successor was selected and as he has never been officially notified of such a change he is still in authority.
 George s. Babcock, clerk of the board of selectmen said today that no notification of Marino's appointment was given to Hart because it is not legally required. He claimed that tho law specifics that the selectmen shall appoint a dog warden on April 1st each year and that on the 31st of March the appointee automatically goes out of office. The dog wardens status, according to Babacock, is the same as that o1 the selectmen and other town officers. They are elected for a stated period and when their terms expire they go out of office with out receiving any notification.

 Eyc--Talk of Jitney Bus.

It is understood on good authority ! that the Hartford Burial Case com saany is considering the matter of closing down it's local factory per manently in the very near future. Whether or not the concern intends to manufacture it's caskets elsewhere cannot be ascertaned, for the officials decline to discuss the matter
 The main offices of the casket shop are located at AZ Allyn street in Hart ford The concern purchased the commodious factory formerly occupied by the Seward Rubber company, about fS.ur years ago, and began operation here about that time, employing in the ncighborhood of fifteen men. Only few of the employees are residents of this town, the majority of them making their homes in Hartford.
 An official of the company was in- terviewcd over tEe telephone at the Hartford office this morning. He said he did not care to discuss the matter, but would not deny the story to the effect that his concern was about to cease operating the Kensington plant.
 Would Start Jitncy Here.
 A local automobile owner is con tcmplatihg running a jitney bus be- z tween New Britain and Berlin for the accommodation of those people who find 1t inconvcnient to get homo on the last trolley ca" from the Hardware City. which leaves the triangle as early as 11:13 o'clock
 No ono will doubt the fact that some sort of public conveyance rum ming from New Britain about mid night, has been a 1ong-felt want here and, it is though that a jitney bus vNgld fill the bil! to perfection.
 A crowd of young fellows walking down New Britain road between 12 and 1 o'clock morning is not on un- common sight. These people would probably prove to be good patrons for thc proposed jitney bus line.
