Candy Store Robbed in Broad Day. Iight-RursIars Get $210 in Cash Early Morning HoIdup - Personals and Notes.

The candy store on Norwich avenue, owned by Fred Caderette, was entered Wednesday afternoon between the hours of 1.30 and o'clock by a per- son or persons unknown and a large sum of money taken. MT. Caderette left the store little after 1 o'clock to go to Norwich in the company with several young men and did not return until about 5 o'clock and upon trying his door found it unlocked. Knowing that he had securely fastened the door on going out. investigation was made and 1t was found that the cash drawer had been ransacked and the money taken.
 MT. Caderette who lives in the rear of his store, went to his room and found that the trunk, where he had
 considerable money laid away pre- paratory to depositing 1t in the bank, had been opened and the money taken Further investigation revealed that a tion of buffalo nickels in had been
 emptied. This box was kept in back of some jars on the shelves which goes to show that the break was made by someone who was in all probabil- ity familiar with the surroundings. The cash drawer was forced open with a stove litter.
 Entrance to the store was gained, it is thought, by a transom over the door. Finger prints and the mark of a rubber soled tennis shoe were found in the dust which had accumulated on the sill of the transon. On going out it is thought that the person un- locked the door with a key which is left hanging in the store.

JAMES L. CASE CHOSEN
 STATE VICE PRESIDENT
of Connecticut State Sunday School Convention.

The Connecticut Sunday School as- sociatton, at its 59th annual meeting in Hartford Thursday, elected Robert Darling of Simsbury president. James L. Case of Norwich was chosen vice president, C. r. Gladding of Hartford, auditor, and w. A. Bridge of Hazard vile, treasurer.
 The drifting of boys and girls of the adolescent age out of the Sunday school away from the church was pointed out az the chief problem con- fronting the church by Rev. Elbert c.
 Hoag, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Floral Park, L. l., ct the morning meeting. MT. Hoag outlined the method by which he eom-
 batted the tendency of boys and girls
 to regard themselves as Sunday school
 graduates, with the result that there
 were fewer empty pews in his church
 At a certain age." said MT. Hoag,
 "boys and girls get the notion that
 they are too big to be classified with
 the kids and they leave the Sunday school before they have acquired the church going habit. The problem is to get them interested in the church before they leave the Sunday school I tried keeping them until the begin ming of the morning service by giving a brief object lesson sermon. Only 8 third of them remained for the ser vice, and that portion dwindled. T was returning from my vacation thinking about this problem in some perplexity of soul, when-well, if I hat been one of the old Hebrews I would
 express it thus: God said unto me- all of a sudden, as if by inspiration the thought came to me that the Sun- day school and church services could be combined into enc.

 attitude which I had anticipated, but

Aftel the class offering we have lessor i study for half an hour.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
 PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid which flows in the blood, affecting the muscles and joints, producing infiam- mation, stiffness and pain. This acid gets into the blood through some de- feet in the digestive processes, and re- mains there because the liver, kidneys and skin are too torpid to carry 1t off. \ Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time blood tonic, is very successful in the treatment of rheumatism. It acts directly, with purifying effect, on the blood, and through the blood on the liver, kidneys and skin, which 1t stim- ,ulates, and at the same time 1t inn proves the digestion.
