DAYViLLE HEN
Getting Place in the Hall of Fame
Through New York Humorists.

Fame has come to the aged black
spanish hen owned by James BIanch-
ard Of Dayville and introduced to the
public in this column one day last
week. Down in the rural village of
New York she was made the subject
of a wr1te-uo in a Sunday paper. Evil
IDENTIFY that New York crowd don't be-
l1eve that there Is q hen 81 years of
age in the town of Killingly. but Kill
1ingly doesn't care anything about
New York in some ways. and bigger
when it comes to aged hens. Here's
what the New York Sunday story says
on the subject of that wonderful hen:
"Eusafia Palladino," the oldest hen
in the town of Killingly and perhaps
in the entire world. is to have a birth
day party on the occasion Of her TWEEN
ty-seventh birthday. which falls on
June 2. All the old hens in Killingly
are looking forward to the event, and
1t is probable that few young chick
ems will be asked, just to give the
party metropolitan flavor.
"Eusapia," though of Spanish origin,
lays her eggs in English and began
the work when but five months old.
Her first egg. which her owner, James
Blanchard. still has. was land in No
vember: 1888, and since then she has
laid an average of 144 eggs a year
She has just laid another egg as this
story Is being written and only the
very greatest haste can prevent her
from laying another before it is fin
ished.
She just lays around all day. as
might be expected at her great age
Unlike the Madagascar Bingie Hen
which lays square eggs with a mono
gram, Eusapia lays but one egg at a.
time,
Eurapia, 1t viii be readily reckoned
was Matched from a black Spanish
egg ten years before the Spanish
American war. when shells burst less
frequently. She has seen a very ac-
tive life and greatly deplores the dis
sipation, irregular hours and loss Of
sleep incident to, poultry shows which
have become popular. of late years. She
does not smoke. has never on any oc-
casion partaken Of alcoholic liquors
and can now read without glasses IL
she cared to.
Mr.. Blanchard has had several dis
putes lately with persons, who, hay-
ing dfned at the Killingly Commercial
Inn (Which does not exist) questioned
that Eusapia was the oldest chicken
in the world.

Rheumatism Soon
Becomes Chronic
The Result of Tired Kidneys
Failing to Expel Poisonous
Waste Matter.

Tired, -overworked kidneys allow
poisonous uric acid to remain in the
,sblood instead of expelltng it from the
system. That is the cause of chronic
rheumatism. The disease gets into
some joint or group OF muscles and
settles there, and only strenuous
treatment will dislodge 1t.
Rheuma softens the uric acid crys-
tails lodged in the joints and muscles,
causing the terrible pains, and passes
them out of the system through the
kidneys and bowels.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. Unless it is pure the organs
become diseased. Rheuma purifies the
blood and the kidneys, then regain
\their natural activity.
: Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell
Rheuma at price SO inexpensive that
e& .s folly to be without it.
