srONINGTON
interest = renight's Republican Cau- eus-Pierre-J Joseph Marriage Set for April 14th,

There is more than average political interest in the republican caucus that will be held this evening, to elect dele gates to the state, congressional and senatorial convention. Of these the latter convention is of more interest ton politicians, if there be truth in cur rent rumors. The senatorial conven- ton will not only nominate a senator to represent the Shoestring district, but will also practically name the dis trict member of the state central com mittee.
 According to the report Senator Ben- jamin H. Hewitt has an ambition to serve on the state central committee, as such membership would aid in his alleged aspiration for a place on the state ticket In this connection it is also reported that Judge Frank H. Hinckley is not averse to succeeding
 MT. Hewitt as state senator. Under these conditions it will be seen that
 the delegation to the senatorial con-
 vention Is of special interest to the two gentlemen named. Both are of the same
 wing of the party locally, are relatives, intimate friends, and both are we'll trained in the game of politics. It was mainly through Senator Hewitt S
 efforts that MT. Hinckley succeeded Judge Breed in the town court of Stonington and he has been a strong
 supporter of Senator Hewitt in his fight against the trolley company | which some claim to be a move for political preferment, in part at least Pierce-Joseph Marriage April IA.
 Henry G. Joseph Of the borough and | Miss Evelyn Pierce of Attleboro are to be married at the brides home or April IA.

DAVIS THEATRE.
Complete Change of Program, Today All New Triangle Pictures and Three Keith Vaudeville Acts, Including the Imperial Jiu Jitsu Troupe.

There will be a complete change Of program at this popular theatre today and the show booked for the last half of the week promises to be the banner bill of the season. The headline vau- deville attraction is the Imperial Jtu ,Jitsu Troupe, seven people, and every one an athlete from the land Of the cherry blossoms. They present sen sational gymnastic offering and give a display of Jiu Jitsu wrestling that IS educational as well as entertalnlng; This is a big Keith headline act and will be the talk of the town before they finish their engagement at this thea tre. The other two acts are Collins & Manning, a clever pair of artists, who have a comedy singing, talking and dancing offering that will furnish en- tertainment for fifteen minutes, and Harry Hanson, an old established comedian and late of the team Of Fields & Hanson, who presents a comedy magic act. MT. Hanson Is billed as the Worst Wizard in the World, so you can expect some good fun while this fellow is on the stage. In the Triangle photoplays today the feature is a five-part Griffith produc- ton called Betty of Graystone, featur- ing Dorothy Gish, Owen Moore and George Fawcett This is a beautiful dramatic picture and no better picture could have been chosen to follow the Billy Burke in Peggy than this pro- auction. Dorothy Gish who plays the title role in this picture, has had a distinguished career in motion pie lures Local fans will remember her best for the excellent acting she did in The Birth of Nation, the big Grif- filth spectacle, which was shown here some time ago. The Keystone comedy is Fatty and Mabel in The Bright Lights, a two-reel mirth provoker with two of the greatest funmakers in the world. Both Fatty and Mabel have a great old time in this picture and they will keep you laughing while the whole two thousand feet of film is shown on the screen. Beginning this Saturday. a special morning matinee will be given at 10 a. m. for the chil- dren and all the older folks who care to attend. This will be strictly pic ture performance and there will be no vaudeville shown. This extra per formance will be given every Satur- day morning for the children's bene6- and only the best motion pictures vii be shown.

OLD FOLKS RECIPE
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS
To Quickly Save Elderly People From Kidney and Bladder Miseries.

While people we'll along in years are more subject to weak kidneys and bladder than younger folks, their trou- Dre need not nee eSsarily be serious and can often be easily corrected by a safe simple home kidney regulator that acts promptly. A good plan Is to stop eat ing meat, sugar and sweets for a few days and to take few doses of Solvax with which Lee & Osgood or any local druggist can easily supply you at a little expense. Solvax Is harmless and acts safely but quickly on the kidneys and bladder to strengthen them for their natural work and drain out all the impurities from the blood that cause the kidneys to get slow and slug gish Twenty-four hours generally show results and make the kidneys act fine Back pains and weakness soon are forgotten and sufferers are enabled to get a good eight hours sleep without getting in and out bed several times during the night.
 Do not suffer another day but see at once if SoIvax will not relieve you. If you find it does not, tell the druggist so and he will cheerfully return the money you paid him for it. We know no stronger argument for any medicine than the willingness of those who sell it to stand back of it in this way.

Boston, March 29.-An international exposition to be held in 1920 to com msrnorate the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims was favored by the Pilgrim Uercentenary commission in a report filed with the legislature today. The members were of the opin- ion that "a worlds fair or exposition. merely or principally commercial and Industrial in its character" would not be suitable, but were agreed that some form of an international exposition should be held which would bring to- gether and especially emphasize the great achievements in science. deuca- tion, religion, philosophy, music and all other arts of the past three hundred years.'
