WHAT is HEM-ROID?
A TABLET, TAKEN INTERNALLY
THAT CURES PILES.

Piles (hemorrhoids) are getting
more common every day, because we
live unnaturally, overeating, over
working, taking little exercise, grad
ually causing a deadening of veins
and tissues in the lower bowel. Blood
stagnatibn is the cause of piles, and
a condition that can't be permanently
cured with ointments.
DR.. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid is the
only internal tablet remedy that at
lacks piles by freeing the circulation.

FEDERATION FAVORS
SUFFRAGE RESOLUTION
Massachusetts Women Debate the
Question Three Hours Threats of
Disruption.

MARION, Mass, June %. - The
Massachusetts, federation of Woman s
clubs today adopted a resolution en-
dursing woman suffrage By a vote of
203 to 80. The debate occupied nearly
three hours and was at times bitter,
several anti-suffra gists limiting that
the organization would be disrupted
if the political issue of suffrage were
made the subject of action by the fed
Grafton.
The debate was precipitated by the
introduction by Mrs Herbert J. Cur
ney of Quincy the following resolu-
ton:
Whereas the question of political
equality Of men and women is today
the vital problem under discussion
throughout the state of Massachusetts
therefore it is resolved that the Massa-
chusetts State Federation of Woman IS
clubs give the cause of political equal
ity moral support by recording its ear
nest belief in the principle of political
equality regardless of sex
The anti-suffragist faction at cnce
protested against the resolution as be-
ing in violation of the constitution OF
the state organization. Mrs. Gertrude
Winslow Perkins, president of the
federation, ruled that the introduc
tion of the resolution was constitution
al, evoking applause and further pro
| test
In the midst Of the discussion the
ants presented a petition asking that
the president put a stop to the discus
sion but the presiding officer did not
present the petition and the fgh
went on. Mrs. Smith of the Whittier
home association attempting to pou1
oil on troubled waters said there would
be no question of disorganization j.
the resolution was adopted.

VIM. HEARD KILLED
IN COSTA RIGA
Former Resident of Vernon and Brat
tleboro Was Railroad Engineer
Leaves Wife and Daughter.

William Heard, SO, who lived on a farm
in Vernon in his boyhood and afterwards
for several years was a resident of Brattle-
boro while serving as locomotive engineer
for the Central Vermont Railway Co,
probably was killed while on duty as engi-
neer on the Northern railroad in Costa
Rica early this week. His mother, Mrs.
B. r. Allen of Bernardston, Mass, received
telegram from the United Fruit Co. of
Boston, which apparently was cabled them
by Mr.. Hurd's brother, Edmund, who is
in Costa Rica, which leaves the matter in
very unsettled state. The telegram reads
as follows:
advise mother brother William killed
on train. Know nothing to contrary. Ad-
wise relatives Letter following"
Mr.. Heard had been connected with
railroading for years and four years
ago went to Limon, Costa Riea, On the
Northern railroad of which James III.
Burke, former station agent at Brattle-
boro, is superintendent, and had since
been employed there.
He leaves a wife, who was Miss Kate
Parker of Newport, n. H., and one daugh-
ter, In Costa Rica, also brother, Edmund

DUNKIRK BoMBARDED.
Tons of Metal Thrown Into City from
Guns 20 Miles Away.

DUNKIRK, France, June "a, via
Paris, June 25-Thirty-six tons of ex-
plosives and metal were fred into
Dunkirk Wednesday from the German
positions somewhere behind Dixmude.
Several civilians were killed or wound
cd and considerable material damage
was done, but not a single shell reach
ed the port or any other point of mil
itary Importance. The impression on
the inhabitants differed in no way from
that made by preceding bombardments
and trains out of the city today carried
no more than the usual number of trav-
elers.
The first shell struck in the city at
the break of dawn, and others followed
ct intervals of 25 minutes until quar-
ter past 6 in the evening. They came
without warning, for though Dunkirk
constantly hears the guns of the allies
along the Belgian front, no sound
| comes from the monster weapon that
| hurls these 16-inch shells from spot
moro than 20 miles distant
The Shrek Of the shell gives nc
warning of the missile s coming, as
the noise is heard only in the last 20C
yards of flight and almost simulta
neously comes an explosion that makes
the earth tremble.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Military activity continues to center in
Galicia The Russians are fighting hard
in the territory there that remained to
them after the Teutonic drive to Lemberg
and beyond, either to save that territory
to themselves or to give their retreating
armies a chance to retire in good order.
Desperate battles, according to the official
report, are continuing along the Dniester,
where the Russians claim to have retained
the advance, despite their admission that
the Austro-German forces have pushed
their way across the river in two places.
In both cases the opposing forces were
pushed back and are clinging precariously
to the left bank of the stream, the Rus
slams assert
Activity along the front where the Aus
trian and Italian armies are facing each
other is still chiefly in the nature of artil
lery engagements, with occasional inter
ludes of infantry activity. The Italians
claim to be gradually advancing along the
Isonzo and to have repulsed Austrian at
tacks at several points.
The latest French reports claim progress
for that army only on the ridges to th'
east of Metzeral in the Vosges, and thi
only to slight degree.
Nothing has been heard from the Dar
danelles.

Sec. Lansing Wants Data on
American Ships and Goods
Seized by British
PRINCIPLES INVOLVED
IN BRITISH BLOCKADE
AS Well as the Practices Continued
Under order-in Council VIII Be Dis
cussed-Latest Communication Will
Also Be Acknowledged.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Sufficient
facts on the detention and seizure of
American ships and cargoes by the British
fleet have not yet been gathered by the
state department to complete the new note
to Great Britain, which has been under
preparation for several weeks.
Secretary Lansing disclosed today that
the portion of the note dealing with the
principles of the so-called blockade had
long ago been outlined, but that officials
had been absorbed in getting data on
American ships and goods detained or
seized
He intimated that the note in its final
form would be a presentation of the aca-
demic principles involved in the blockade
as well as the British practices under the
order -in-council.
The British memorandum reviewing the
efforts to minimize the inconvenience to
neutrals will be acknowledged in the new
note and some of it's points viii be dis
cussed, although it Is recognized that the
memorandum is not intended as a reply
to the American protest against the prin
ciples of the order-in-couneil which Great
Britain has not answered.

IN MEMORIAM.
Communication Relative to the Late
Mrs. Gustava Carlson.


At the funeral of Mrs Gustava Carlson,
held Wednesday afternoon in the Swed-
ish Lutheran church, a large circle of gath
cred relatives and friends felt that again
a truly good woman had been summoned
to the final rest The sermon was
preached in English by the pastor, Rev
Z. a. Peterson. Fred Adams sang two rem
derings in his heart-touching way There
was a profusion of floral tributes to attest
the general regard for the departed, and
many followed in their carriages to the
place of burial in Prospect Hill cemetery
Among relatives who had come to offer
consolation to the bereaved husband were
Mrs. G. Lundgren and Mrs n Erickson,
both of Worcester, Mrs A. Schmelzsenger
of Brooklyn, n. Y, and G. Bergquist of
Springfield
Mrs. Carlson came to Brattleboro about
"a years ago, being married in 1891 to
Olof Carlson. For a time previous to her
marriage she served at the home of Mrs.
J. j Estey, who showed her the kindliest
appreciation of her faithfulness. Through
out the years the heartfuI kindliness of her
ways has won her large circle of friends,
whose sympathies were with her during
the six weeks she lay at hospital as re-
suit of a fracture, and during months of
/ slow conyalescence. To them her death on
Sunday last came unexpected. For only a
/ few days previous she had, through the
Fzind thoughtfulness of Mrs Henry Bond
enjoyed an automobile ride and been much
cheered. 1t was therefore hoped she was
on her way to recovery; and then came
the news of her death.
AT the funeral the pallbearers were J.
L. johnson, G. r. Lindwall, Emil Eriek
son and August Anderson.
