VOUCHERS DISAPPEAR
Important Slips of Paper Wanted by
 Brooklyn's Special Committee.


 Brooklyn's Special Committee.
 There is much interest in Brooklyn over the disappearance of number of vouchers that figure in the town re- ports for the fiscal year recently clos ed. Int vouchers would figure in the investigation Of the special committee appointed at the annual town meeting could the little slips of paper be found, but they have disappeared and there by myster has been created. It is claimed that, the vouchers were left with other papers in the room of tht Selectmen at Brooklyn. Where the missing vouchers went to from there no one has explained, the result Icing lot of talk, much of which, a con- siderable number of Brooklyn citizens contend, is unfair and unwarranted considering that statements, based upon assumption, are apt, very often, to be inaccurate. The citizens, how ever, are awaiting with interest the town meeting at which thty are to re- ceive reports from the committees ap- pointed at the annual town meeting.
 Potato Shortage.
 F. O. Davis, Pomfret, a former county commissioner, talked Wednes- day of the remarkable potato shortage in towns in this section of Windham county. MT. Davis told of one farm d farmer as there is in the county, planting last spring to grow 300 bush els. Last week he dug just 20 hushel, all his field produced. Other Pomfret farmers have had such poor luck that they have not gone to tht trouble to dig over their potato fields. but have gone through them with a plough, preparing for next season. Some of the farmers in towns in this section, MT. Davis says, are now send ing to Maine for potatoes for their own use during the winter and spring.

JOHN SMITH sNoRED
His Offence, So Gets Jail
 Sentence.

When John Smith-one John Smith, this being no reflection upon others of that name-wants to go to sleep in a rather unconventional place, to snore in thoroughly conventional manner, he will hereafter, in all probability. se- lect some other location than one in close proximity to where Judge l.. H Fuller of the city court reposes in peacefuI-and quiet-slumber. This change of ideas as to where to sleep may be due to the fact that Judge Fuller gave Smith. a transient person, 30 days in jail when the prisoner ap- peared in the city court Wednesday morning.
 , Smith had been sleeping not distant from Judge Fuller's room in a build- ing on Union street. And, take the word of the court for it. Smith snored outrageously, this probably due to overindulgence in evening pastimes.

I was go- ing down hill in health, could only drag around. My friends recommended that I try Cardui. I tried various reme- dies which did me no good. I simply moped all the time and felt sick all over. So I began using Cardui and in a short time 1 was greatly im- proved; after the use of one bottle was able to do my work
 Before starting 1t couldn't straight en to save me; had to go when I went all bumped over, suffered great pains in the abdomen, sides and back worse than anywhere.
