 MEETING
DanieISOn Board of Trade Entertain Eastern Connecticut Development
 Committee
Chester E. Child E. E. Brown and W. |.
 BulIard Speak

Chester k. Child, president of the Child Lumber Corporation, Putnam, Tuesday afternoon addressed the June meeting of the Eastern Connecticut Development Committee, and Daniel son Business Mems Association in ses- sion at Danielson. Representatives from Webster, Putnam, Willimantic, Norwich and New London were pres ent
 His subject was "rhe lumber indus try in eastern Connecticut. He said in part: "There are today more acres given over to wood and timber growth in Windham county than 50 years ago. The industry gives employment to 400 men who are engaged directly or indirectly with twelve portable mills.
 The average annual cut of timber in Windham county is Is, 900 feet, which represents stumpage value of about S125, ,000, which added to other items that enter into the business, makes a  10 $500,000 year
 The chestnut blight and white pine rust are two conditions which are causing a great amount of damage in forest lands in the eastern section of this state, the blight during the next few years threatening to destroy chest nut growth. As yet no means of over coming the blight has been found al though research along that line is go ing on.
 During the last few years reforestra- ton of timber and pasture lands has been scientifically undertaken in a number of Windham county towns. Thousands of white pine seedlings have been set out on entirely unpro- duetive acres and in few years these lands will be svery valuable as the white pine is the fastest growing of New England timber trees.
 Fine examples of these reforested areas may be found in the towns of Woodstock, killingly, Hampton and Plainfield.
 I wonld urge upon the owners of such unprofitable lands that they en- gage in the work of reforesting this section, las it will mean "a very large revenue for those who live here in years to come."
 The lecture was illustrated by set of slides loaned by the State Forestry Association.
 MT. Child also talked briefly on the matter of protection from forest fires and suggested that loo kout stations be erected on high points and that watchman be stationed in each and that the stations be connected by tele- phones. The address was very in- teresting and enlightning one of local timber land conditions.
 Everett k. Brown of Pomfret gave an interesting talk on the possibilities of fruit growing in Connecticut and ". I. Bullard, chairman of the manu- facturers' committee of the Danielson Board of Trade, spoke on the manutac' turing industries of the state.
 The matter of the joint outing to be held at Webster Lake, July 18th, was talked over. Those present from Put nam were Chester E. Child, l.. 0. Williams, W. C. Kennedy and C. J. Hartman.

Although the contractors are several
months behind their schedule on the work,
the delay has been due almost entirely to
the failure OF the steel mills tohellver the
steel columns on the dates specified In the
contracts. and considering this the progress
ia regarded as satisfactory by the officials
of tire Transit Department.
Tho concrete foundations are completed
as far north as Unity street and Frank
ford avenue or for q stretch OF four and
three-quarter miles. The foundation con-
tracts are also behind schedule, hut this
Is due to the delay OF the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company In relocating its
surface tracks just below Bridge street
on Frankford avenue.
The cessation of construction work dur
ing the winter season Is necessary on &C.
count of the concrete filler which Is put In
each OF the support columns. The steel
could be set in place during the winter as
well as during the summer. but II Is not
considered safe to work with concrete dur
ing the cold weather. and since the con-
crete filler cannot be put into the columns
at the steel mills before they are shipped
the department was forced to order the
suspension OF the work.
The erection OF the steel superstructure
was to begin April / OF this year and the

street by October 81 last II was the middle

WHY CHILLY WEATHER
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says Skin Pores Are Closed and Uric Acid Remains
 in Blood.

Rheumatism is no reSpecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all. drink lots of pure water
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and cir culating through the system, eventu- ally settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.

"Plainville, Conn.,, March 4, 1916- Your remedy was purchased by me at the Riker Pharmacy, New Britain, Conn.,, Feb. 29th, 1916. At that time I was unable to move or take a long breath without excruciating pain; the sore condition of the vertebrae and muscles made it impossible to lie down. I took the required dose of Rheuma upon going to bed, expecting to sit up all night, but by two o'clock was relieved so it was possible for me dose the following night, was so could get around and after taking the third dose was able to get around the house, make bread, get the meals, etc.

 Pattinson's father is a minor town official in RuslIington. When the war opened the boy was at Haileybury School, where he had a greater repu- tation as a football player than as a scholar although he was regarded as |, too young for a place on the school first eleven. In the school military battalion his superiOrs reported that he "shows no special attitude for mili- tary duties'', but as soon as the war broke out he offered his services,
 He was rejected on his first two applications, but he persisted, and the authorities finally stretched a point and he won appointment as second lieutenant in a competitive examina- tiOn in September 1914.

His regiment saw very severe fighting at Loos and after the series of battles there, he found himself the senior surviving officer.

 The war savings committee of the London County Council has instructed the educational committee to effect a saving of $2,0O0,0OO in the coming fis- cal year beginning April 1. This also means the stoppage of all building projects which in normal times amount to at least $2,5OO,OOO The county would thus save s4,5O0,OO0, on education the next school year.
