Westerly lodge of EIks has eener ousIy donated $1oo to provide Christ mas cheer for the poor, $50 to the Peoples Mission and $50 to the St Vincent De Paul society. To increase the fund. the lodge had prepared for a sacred concert and the religious animated picture, the Sign of the Cross, the entire proceeds to be de- voted to charity. The use of the Gen. tral theatre. in Pawcatuck, was to have been gratus. also the orchestra, and the local singers, and quite a number of tickets had been purchased in advance, mostly by those who could not attend. but who desired to con tribute their mite to the Chris stmas charity fund. There is a law tucked away in the Connecticut statutes that could be interpreted in a way to pre- vent a. public entertainment, even of this nature, on a Sunday, as are many other laws that are not strictly enforced. Someone dug up the law that covered the point in regard to the Elks' sacred concert for charity, and made a formal demand upon the se- lectmen be enforced. The selectmen had no option, and the sacred con- cert was cancelled.
 Although there is a Congregational church in PawCatuCk it so happens that not one Protestant clergyman re- sides in the village, still, it is claim ed that opposition to the sacred con- cent for charity, emanated from the pastor of the Congregational church, who is evidently interested in other reform work along that line, such as fruit and confectionery stores being open Sunday evening. and boys loiter- ing in pool rooms. It is also hinted that the movement against the Elks' sacred concert had the backing of the Westerly Ministerial association. which includes in its membership ministers resident in the town of Stonington and other neighboring towns. A prominent Elk, in retail atiOn says there is an ordnance of the town of Westerly that requires a license fee for all public entertain ments, and he does not understand why there should be discrimination in favor of churches, or even Chautau- qua asscmblages.

DOCTORS AGAINST ALCOHOL

When that great conclave of doc
tors took place at Brighton, England.
under the auspices of the British Med
ical association, advantage was taken
Of the presence Of SO many medical
men In attendance to get nearly forty
anti-alcohol addresses delivered on
the Sunday In Brighton and adjoining
towns. The subject was Evils of AL
cohol Upon the Human Body" and
the particularly interesting thing was
to see SO many physicians in pulpits
and on the platforms evidently will.
Ing to play the part of crusaders
against what one of their profession
had aptly described ss "the greatest
enemy of the race The aggregate
result of these addresses constituted
an all-round indictment of alcohol OF
remarkably striking and education

date character Of the addresses, sew
eral of the doctors used charts and d.
agrams which were projected upon
screen by lantern. thus transfer

THE UNCOVERED WELL.

children play. II is small Use to tell
the brave little boys toddling their
way along into knowledge of life that
they mustn't play near the uncovered
well. They will play near it. Any
parent knows that. And we know that
a certain percentage Of them, the
livest and most daring, will fall into
the well. The thing to dove all know
It's to cover up the well. The case
is the same with John Barleycorn. All
the no-saying and no-preaching in the
world will fail to keep men, and
youths growing into manhood away

TESTIMONY OF A TRAVELLER.

One of the greatest explorers OF the
day is Mr.. A Henry Savage Lander. a
grandson of Walter Savage Lander.
He has travelled in the Antarctic, in
Thibet, the Himalayas, Korea, Mongo-
liza. through the Dark Continent, and
has crossed South America at its wild
est part, accomplishing one of the
most difficult expeditions ever made,
penetrating in a 13,750-mile journey
parts of Brazil that were regarded as
impossible. This latter feat through
a semi-tropical zone occupied one,year
and half, and was constantly attend
ed by hardships and sufferings, in the
course Of which for sixty da-s, while
shooting the rapids of the Arinos, the
party endured terrible privations, and
afterwards when food failed, starved
for sixteen days.
When asked how he has preserved
immunity from sickness, exposed to
such varied climatic conditions, he re-
plies, 1.-THE wonderful health | enjoy
Is largely due to my temperate habits.
In all these journeyings neither he nor
his attendants took with them any
alcoholic spirits
Mr.. Landor's testimony on this point
Is unequivocal. ut is not travelling"
he says, (which kills an explorer, it is
the drinking and smoking and living
in foul air In civilized countries. l

ALCOHOL A DECEIVER.
DR.. David Starr Jordan tells the fol-
lowing story:
| There was once a man who came
into his office smacking his lips, and
said to his clerk: THE world looks
7ery different to the man who has
had a good glass of brandy and soda
In the morning" Yes" said the
clerk, land the man looks differently to,
the world" And this is natural and
inevitable, DR.. Jordan points out. for
the pleasure which exists only in the
imagination leads to action which has
likewise nothing to do with the de-
mand of life. The mind is confused,
and may be delighted with the confu-
sion, but the confused muscles trem-
pie and halt. The tongue is loosened
and utters unfinished sentences; the
hand is loosened and the handwriting
Is shaky; the muscles Of the eye are
Embarrassed, and the two eyes move
Independently and see double; the legs
are loosened, and the confusion of the
brain shows itself In the confused walk.
And If this confusion is long contin-
ued. the mental deterioration shows IT.

Gentlemen:-I have lived here
now one year; make TIA business to
go once week through the city
and inquire about market prices;
also go to the clothing stores, ex-
anime clothing and prices. L have
been mail order customer for
twenty years as / was q farmers
wife and lived nine miles from the
city. So you see know what 4 am
talking about. You can buy cloth
ing as cheap and much of 1t much
cheaper than to order it; also your
groceries as cheap and meat in some
stores cheaper than ordering. Your
clothing II bought in Clarksburg is
first class and you save money and
mailing expenses by buying at home.
Some order away from home because
they buy on the installment plan.
You can buy here the same way and
get better quality of goods. / have
the mail order catalogues, and go
through Clarksburg to find out for
myself and have been awfully sur
prised to find Clarksburg merchants
beat all my mali order catalogues.
I believe in buying where you can
get the worth of your money. Study
your catalogues, then 60 through the
city Of Clarksburg as I have done
and there will be no more sending
money out Of the city.
To keep the money at home means
cheaper clothing. cheaper groceries,
more work for your husbands,
daughters and sons. can buy shoes
cheaper than to order them and they
wear as long. l can buy dresses for
my girl, aged twelve years, Just as
cheap as you can order one for yours,
aged six. l can buy suit Of clothes
here for my boy at $3.50 you order
1t and pay Sc for it. have order
ed groceries, shoes and clothing. Il
know what am saying. Go through
.Clarksburg as do and buy at home
and save one-third OF your money
and help your own city by keeping
your money in your own community.

why people should buy inaclaskg,

why people should buy insClarks-
burg. =
Citizens of Harrison county should
buy in Clarksburg rather than take
their money to other. towns. There
are many reasons for this. Money
spent in Clarksburg will be kept in
circulation here. This is to the adj
vantage of the town in every way. The
money which would have been in the
pockets Of out-of-town merchants will
be at work here, making Clarksburg
better and more beautiful.
Buying from mail order houses is
an uncertain business at best. Select
ing, goods from a catalog is not the
best way to get your moneys worth,
asSmanY disappointed shoppers will
testify or course. there are OCCASIONS
when real bargains are offered by
mail order. firms, but the values can
be duplicated in Clarksburg with a
saving Of time and trouble. Money
can also, be saved when freight or
express charges are considered.
Shoppers who are particular about
what their money buys want to see
the goods. This is impossible when
buying from mail order houses.
Buying at home should be mat
ter Of town patriotism. In this case
all loyal citizens would be compelled
to buy here. This would surely i'm
prove Clarksburg trade, for the town
contains many loyal patriots. To
make the buy in Clarksburg" cam
paign success some such spirit must
be introduced.
II more people patronize home mer-
chants it will be to their future adj
vantage. More trade will enable
merchants to make better stores and
better stores will make it possible
for shoppers to secure better values.
This is to the advantage of both shop
ipers and merchants. Shoppers can
not afford to let such opportunities
pass. It is up to citizens OF the re-
gion to make the campaign assuccess.
