PROSPEROUS SEASON.
Probable at Holiday Time-Business Good-Christmas Club, to Have $1o,ooo.

Business should be prosperous in Danielson during the coming Christi mas season. The mills of the town and vicinity are running finely, some of them nights as well as days, and the payrclls are as heavy, if not heavier, than ever before in the history of Kil- lingly. Another circumstance that promises well for the holiday business is that approximately $10,00O that has been saved by scores of members of a Christmas club is to be paid out at the height of the shopping season. This money has been saved during all of 1915, in small sums, week by week, for the particular purpose of meeting the costs of gifts at Yuletide and un- doubtedly the greater percentage of 1t will be spent with local merchants.
 To Announce Senior Play Title.
 Paul N. Swaffleld of the high school faculty expects to announce upon his return from Boston, where he spent the week end, the title of the senior play. of which he was some time since appointed manager. MT.

on his way into town. His car was following another which passed the point where the little girl was, just be- fore she dashed out to cut across to her home ahead of his car.
 In describing the happening, Mr. Hall said that he swung his car to the right and continued to do so up to the time when he struck the little girl at the angle where their paths came in contact. the machine at the same time crashing into the veranda of the Du- buc home and damaging it slightly MT. Hall tried desperately to avoid striking the child, but the direction in Wn1ch she was running was such as compared to the direction in which the car was going as to make it impossi- ble for him to prevent the accident, which distressed him greatly.
 It is believed that the little girl was internally injured. but what the out come will be could not be definitely torecasted as late as Sunday after noon.
 Lolterers Must Move On. The new rule of the borough officials against groups lettering about the streets in the business section was put in force Saturday and worked well.
 The great majority of those who were asked to break up their conferences at favorite corners obediently observed
 the orders of the officers on duty to move on- few showed an inclina- tion to treat the new order lightly, but
 when they were convinced there is to be no trifiing over the matter they did as they were requested.
 The rule as to blocking sidewalks and street corners is in force at all
 times. Every officer of the borough force Is expected to see to it that there | Is no congregating on the streets. and
 officers have the authority to order any group to disperse at any time when | the officers consider that the new rule
 Is being violated.
 Some business men in town have been prompt to acknowledge their ap-
 preciation of the new rule. They have
 been bothered in the past by gather ings of young men who have obstruct- | ed sidewalks and who at times have
 been noisy In greater or lesser degree and have been considered as perhaps | thoughtlessly creating an unnecessary
 nuisance by loitertng near places of busineBs.o i

MANY TROUBLES DUE TO
 WEAK KIDNEYS

"It Is no use advertising a medicine unless the medicine itself is good enough to back up the claims you make for it. On the other hand. it Is a pleasure for druggists to sell a medi- cine when customers come in afterward and tell how much good it has done them. And that Is why druggists like to sell and recommend SOlvax. the great kidney remedy. Ever since we first introduced Solvax drug clerks have been so busy selling it that it is sometimes hard to keep a sufficient stock on hand. Moreover. SolvaN is always sold on a positive guarantee Of relief to the kidney sufferer or money back. This may seem rash. but users have said so many good words in favor of Solvax that it IS not expected that many packages will be returned.
 This shows great faith in Solvax- It really Is a most unusual medicine be- cause it overcomes the worst cases of kidney complaints by removing the cause. IL goes straight to the seat of the trouble. It soaks right In and cleans out the kidneys and makes them pass off all the uric acid and poisonous waste matter that lodges in the joints and muscles. causing rheumatic pains: 1: soothes and heals the bladder and quickly ends all such troubles.
 Nothing Is more uncomfortable or hurts a persons perfect enjoyment of life more than troublesome kidneys and their attending evils. Use Solvax and begin to get your full measure of ben eft out of life. Sold by Lee & Osgood and other leading druggists In this vi- cinity.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
October Activities-DoIIar Day a Sue eess-To Work For Norwich Wor eester Canal Project.

Dollar day that was so successful day of business for the store keep CTS of Putnam, was managed so ca pably by the Merchants committee of the Chamber of Commerce. that they turned over to the general treasur, $1O.36, it was announced at the week
 ly meeting of the directors Friday evening. The general opinion was that the enterprise would have been worth while if it had been supported by a generous appropriation from the chamber. To have it operated to show small profit was correspondingly
 pleasing. The committee will turn
 in a complete and detailed report of. the methods used. and. particularly of
 the finances. to be preserved for the guidance of future committees.
 It was voted tc have the local body represented by the secretary, Rev. c. J. Hartman, at the 11th annual meeting of the Connecticut Chamber October 21st. The delegate will also
 carry the proxy of President c. s. An
 dom, and dill represent him at the
 meeting of the directors of the state chamber.
 Evidence shows that some of the
 Putnam merchants appreciate the saw
 ing that the local organization can effect; for eolicit)r for advertising :n an out of town publication was met witk the statement that they would use OEly ntCIlunS apprOVeu by the Chamber of Commerce. He appealed
 to the office; and the directors refer
 red the matter to the Merchants com mittee. A regular rule for such cases is contemplated.
 A secretary of a commercial organ ization in another Connecticut city will meet with the Merchants com | nittee Tuesday morning at o.30 at the off1ce. to describe the credit e1- change bureau that is used there. | There is a strong feeling here that | such a method would save money | from bad debts, and also allow the careful retailer to increase his busi-
 ness by informing himself which peo- pie, possibly unknown to him, have paid promptly in their dealings with
 other stores. The whole matter of | credit and collection Is a complicated I one. and there will be no hasty ac- l tion taken. The next meeting of the 1 chamber will be devoted to merchants | affairs, and especially to credit.
 The directors are planning for more l lectures Of the character of that 1 given in June by Dr. Jay William Hudson, which filled the theater on a | Sunday evening to hear about peace | Two committees are at work to bring Dr. North of New York to speak here
