The directors of the Putnam Cham Der Of Commerce, st a meeting held Friday evening, prepared an Annual Repoft 70 the members which appeFu in another column They amended and approved the new set Of bylaws for the organization. Tbey agreed To recommend to the cbamber a slightly increased scale Of dues, the employ mcni 0f paid secretary on part time, and tae formation of aa automobile board. saesidiary Co the ebaugef.
 There fs need of an organization for local csroauefs Apparently sn au- tomobiIs eI58 #s8.5 hsse ezflaIn dis adyan. ze= here. sn aeaaaaf ai united numb9fs.

 example 9f the need Of organized effort has been brought to tue alten lion of the dlrectots bg Raymond C. Boswouh He discovered that men from other states apparently have not legal night to drive car in Massachu- setts without taking out a Massachu- setts license The Automobile Legal Association, in answer to his inquiry, wrote the following letter:
 May 10, 1916. Mir R. (. Bosworth, l25 Elm street,
 Putnam, Conn. Dear sir.
 in answer to yours Of the 9th, we think you probably refer to the fact that through some oversight, the Mas sachu<etts Highway Commission has never made A determination concern ing other states giving reciprocal priv ileges to Massachusetts motorists, and until such a determination has been made, lawyers are Of the opinion that non-residents cannot legally enter this state The Highway Commission however, is af the contrary opinion and the unfortunate part Of the who le matter Is, that the Highway Commis- sioners do not feel the necessity of making determination, which would be very simple matter, and altboug h considerable pressure k being brought upon the commissioners to mnke a de termination, they have not done 50 up to the present time.
 We hope, however, that the com. missioners will see the feasonableness Of settling the matter, by making a de termination in the near future. Mean time, we can only say that the general l opinion of attorneys isi that untli ouI l highway commission makes the deter. mination above referred 10, that ont would take considerable chance in en 1 tering this state, not so much from fear of arrest by the police, but be i cause, if he should be run into and i damaged, he might not be able to re- cover damages on the grounds that he is trespasser on the highways ol 1 Nj massachusetts,.
 Yours truly,
 Automobile Legal Association. (Signedl Wm. A Thibodeau, Sec'y

 Pete Wilson, sn old Hartford box artist, was pitted against Peckham and the Putnam man had a shade the better Of the argument. Both pitchers sent II men to the bench via strike out route but Wilson held Moosup to four safe ones while Putnam made t an even half q, zen.

the kidney secretions were passing
they seemed to burn. A steady, dull
pain in my back annoyed me and

impossible for me to straighten on
account of sharp pains that darted
through my kidneys. l had to work

Sciatica's Piercing Pain.

To kill the nerve pains of sciatica
you can always depend on Sloan's Lin
iment. 1t penetrates to the seat of
pain and brings ease as soon as it is
applied. A great comfort too with
Sloan's is that no rubbing is required.
Sloan's Liniment is invaluable for
stopping muscular or nerve pain of
any kind. Try it at once if you suf-
fer with rheumatism, lumbago, sore
throat, pain in chest, sprains, bruises,
etc. 1t is excellent for neuralgia and
headache. 25c at all druggists.

Inactive Kidneys
Cause Disease

Il shall not soon forget the benefits derived
from the of Foley Kidney Pills."-AI A.
Godfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which If permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, rundown men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
joints and fail to realize tn at rheuma-
tism, diabetes or even Bright's dis
ease may result
If you have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
inactive you should act Immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been usNd
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick
~ and sure ly and have given relief
in cases of ten years standing.
