Peace, of Nichols avenue, Stratford, machin- ist employed in the Singer Manufac- turing company plant of Bridgeport drank a quantity of the fluid and only prompt and heroic action on the part of other members of the family pre- vented fatal results.

Peace, together with his m mother, who is just recover ing from a severe operation, and his sister, Miss Bertha Peace, had just moved into their summer cottage, the Pekin on Electric avenue. A bottle of lysol that had been used for. clean ing purposes in some manner was tie of medicine had previously been located and the medicine replaced on another shelf.
 It was just getting dark when MT. Peace took what he thought was the right bottle. Emetics were at once administered and Dr. Fisher of Mill ford summoned.

THIS IS DRESS UP WEEK. says the Chamber of Commerce. "Dress up" say the merchants, "be one of the folks and let all look better than ever.
 The elements today, despite the weather of two days previous are ex- tremely favorable for the dress up campaign. Nature in her Spring suit of sunshine is rapidly acquiring a cleaner and better appearance. The landscape is putting on it's spring polish and disposing of the accumu- lated snow of winter in anticipation Cf the suit of new and tender green which is due before long. The animals are shedding their winter coats, shabby and uncouth for a month past. They will be soon ac cOutered in raimentS new according to the style of their kind.
 Nature has not visited upon man. kind the privilege of a change in appearance this month unless he, as an individual takes it upon himself to be at one with the universe and acquire garments indicative of the season. Could there be a better time for showing your inherent love of cleanliness style and decOrus dis play? COULD THERE? The moral is obvious.
 The merchants have dressed up their windows with goods to catch the eye and please the taste. They are making special efforts to accom- mOdate their trade this week. It's up to you New Britain.
 As to where to go for. your clothes, consult the 'Herald," look at the windows, ascertain the prices and get the best you can for your money. But get something and be one of the crowd
 Live tips for the purchaser may be easily found in the Herald's columns It is unnecessary to state that mems wearing shops have complete lines Cf stock. However, here is a few of the articles which the merchants wish to call attention to and which is submitted for your approval:

Lee Mead ows, who started on the hill for the Nationals, was wild Meadows issued six passes in seven innings.
 With the game pretty well sewed up. Meadows took things easy in the eighth, and was bombarded for three runs. Slim Sallee supplanted Mead Ows, and proved a puzzle to the Brownie batsmen.
