Adelbert Sisson, formerly of Wes- terly, arrived in Providence, Thurs day from the Atlanta Federal peni- tentiary, after serving two years sentence for raising money orders. Fri day afternoon he was arraIgned before Judge Brown in the United States dis trict court on a charge of having raised a money order from $1 to $35. He pleaded not guilty and was held in $2,000 bail pending trial. This is the third time Sisson has been before Judge Brown on similar offenses. The first time was in May, 1906, when he was arrested in Westerly and for this offense he served IS months. Soon aft CT his release he was again brought before Judge Brown in Boston on an- other money order charge and was sentenced for two years.
 In February of last year he was sen fenced to two years imprisonment by Judge Martin from New Haven TOT raising a money order and on the completion of this sentence he was brought to Providence to face the present charge.

NATURES REMEDIES.

Natures remedies on the table
are often preferable to the table
powders, etc, at the doctors Or
der.
People in older times wore wiser
in thsir ways than the present
generation. They knew tho value
of sassafras tea to purify the
blood. The roots were dug while
the sap was down, washed, peeled
and the bark dried for use in the
spring.
Greens as q laxative are unex-
celled. Dardelious, narrow dock,
ETC.. possess we'll known medicinal
qualities.
Rhubarb or pieplant is another
laxative. Pie and ssuse made ol

terfering with the rice planters

Aud when the poisoning is done,
they do more injury 70 stock along

Remember The Home Town

While making preparations to
go away for your summer vacation
do not say to yourself that you
will wait until you get in this or
that city to buy the things you
need for the trip. Buy them at

the trip. You can do as well at
home, and many times better.
An exchanger adds this:
IF you have al opportunity for
a vacation, take it. The result
will be better for you and better
for the city but whether you 60
far or near, be- loyal to your home
town. 1t is loyalt that pays
dividends when coupled with the
firm resolve to give homemade
goods the preference, price and
to patronizs the local retail mer-
chant in the purchase Of goods

Dipping Vat Not PatroniZed.

A few of our citizens have come
together and put their money in a
Dipping Vat to rid their stock OF
tick, but very few people outside
of those who considered the mat
TER serious enough to invest in
this vat, have used it although the
price of 15 cts a dip is charged,
which is certainly low. 70 rid
the parish or the ward Of tick, it
is nccessasy that dipping should
be- general. We believe it would
be an easy matter to rid the first
ward of tick, if dipping was made
compulsory. The court in Eas,

favor Of the parish in maintaining
the legality of tho compulsory
dipping ordinance which WAS re-
sisted by u few citizens.
