Resolutions of Reupect.

At a special meeting of Directors of The Dime Savings Bank of Norwich, held May 21. the following minute was unanimously adopted and ordered to be spread upon the records:
 Mir. George A. Davis had been con- nected with this bank as corporator, director. and vice president, for more than twenty years.
 He was a quiet man, and a gentle man in the stricteSt and best usage of that word.
 He was genial and modest in man. ner, but always firm in his conviction of what was right and what was due to others in his negotiations with them. In his death we have lost a valued and esteemed counsellor of the bank and a personal friend we were always glad to meet; and, in common with all who knew him, we loved him and most sincerely mourn his loss.

so could not wear shoes.
Then got Cuticura Soap and Oint-

iOU CAN HAVE PINK CHEEKS

What causes the color to fade from
pink cheeks and red lips? In word
1t is thin blood.
When the fading color in cheeks and
lips is accompanied by loss of bright
ness in the eyes and an increasing
heaviness in the step, the cause is to be
sought in the state of the blood.
A hundred causes may contribute to
the condition of thin blood that is
known as anemia. Overwork, lack of
outdoor exercise, insufficient rest and
sleep, improper diet, these are a few
of them. The important thing is to re-
store the blood to normal, to build it
up so that the color will return to
cheeks and lips.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the great
blood builder and invigorator They be-
gin at once to increase the red corpus
cles in the blood and the new blood car
ries strength and health to every part
of the body. Appetite increases, diges-
tion becomes more perfect, energy and
ambition return.
A booklet, Building Up the Blood"
will be sent free on request by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady
n. Y. if you mention this paper. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills or they will be sent by mail on re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes $3.50.

RAMBO OPPOSES
BRANCH CAPITOL
No Need For 100000 Building
in Philadelphia, He Tells
Commission

Samuel B. Rambo, State Superin-
tendent of Public Grounds and Build
ings, opposed the idea of a branch
State Capitol in Philadelphia on Sat-
urday at the first meeting of the Com
mission to discuss the subject. Rich
ard j. Beamish is the chairman of the
commission. While the commission
is not yet prepared to formulate the
recommendation which it will make
to the Legislatl next winter, the
trend of its thought, is the construc-
ton of building to cost approximate
ly 100000. with a location on the
Philadelphia Parkway 1t appears
that the State is now paying in rentals
for branch offices in Philadelphia $13,-
500 yearly Notwithstanding that the
State Department of Health is occu-
pying branch quarters, free of rental,
IN the building of the Academy of
Natural Science.
Mr.. Rambo declared that he was
opposed to moving any of the State
executive Offices from Harrisburg to
Philadelphia, but he conceded that it
was necessary to have branch offices
for State Departments He also said
that he favored the renting or leasing
of offices in that city, rather than that
the State should appropriate 100000
or any other considerable sum for a
building for the exclusive use of de-
partmental Offices.
Mr.. Rambo held to his view of
rented offices, even in face of the sug-
gestion that the city might see fit to
donate site on the Parkway for a
building for the States uses.
The commissioners decided to hold
their next meeting on Tuesday, July
IS, at which time Harry A. Mackey,
chairman of the Workmen's Board of
Compensation; Louis ]. Breitinger, of
the Board of Moving Picture Censors;
William II. Ball, secretary to the Gov
ernor; John P. Connolly and Joseph
P. Gaffney. former and present chair
man of Councils Finance Committee,
will be requested to give their views.
