Peterson Bros. Dear Sirs: I was
 afflicted with what the doctors said
 were Varicose Ulcers, and up until about five weeks ago I have been
 treating them for about a year and five months.
 With all the treatments that were
 prescribed to me by several doctors l
 received little benefit, and they kept
 spreading and gave me much distress and caused me to quit my work. was induced by a brother brake- man to try Peterson's Ointment, and
 after I had used two boxes I saw the
 wonderful results. You can tell suf- fering ones troubled with ugly, pain
 full and horrid ulcers that your Oint- ment is a cure for them when every
 thing else fails, as I have tried about everything.
 Thanking you many times over, am
 your happy friend, Chas. J. Heyser, Battle Creek, Mich. 42 Glenwood Ave. Jan. 12. 1916.
 T know and dozens of people write
 me-" says Peterson, ''that Petersons Ointment also cures eczema, old sores
 salt rheum, piles and all skin diseases and all druggists sell big box for 0E nanta-"

ments of Pestofice-Birthday Party for Miss Sarah Smith.
 Another improvement in the service at the Mystic postofffce has been insti- tuted by Postmaster George H. Foley whereby the money order department and postal savings department will close daily at 7.30 p. m. instead of 6.31 p. m., as formerly. The extension in time will give the shop and mill em- ployes opportunity to transact bust ness with these departments muCh more conveniently. Postmaster Foley has the interests of the patrons of the office in mind and neglects nothing that he is convinced will result in the betterment of service. The new morn ing mail closing at 9.55 is appreciat ted as a big convenience and has already been well patronized.

 That order was issued by the sec- retary of war. and I cannot discuss it's merits," General Scott said. He explained later that the secretary is sued no orders of such a character without discussion with the chief of staff.

 Tt was to carry out orders by the president Of the United States to meet emergency" General Scott said.
 "Oh, yes. that's the way 1t reads" Representative Greene said, 'but that's not the way the men on the border looked at 1t. or the young men who came back home"
 ''We cannot rely for cur defense on a system of a kind where that would be possible" said General Scott
 "Iet me say also that I hays spec ially asked you to understand that I am not discussing the men of the na- tional g1ic I'd. but the system"
 Didn't congress show that 1t real ized these very weaknesses of the old system 2" demanded Representative Hull. when 1t reframed it in the na- tional defence act?''
 NO military man thinks there will be any great improvement under ths new system" General Scott replied.

 To Recall General Scott.
 The senate subcommittee in charge of the Chamberlain universal training bill decided to recall General Scott, who already has presented the report ona mobilization in full to that com mittee, and Major General Leonard Wood. commanding the eastern de- partment, who described the mobiliza- ton as tragedy in his direct hear ing before the committee. Both off, cers have been asked to appear for cross examination by Blair Lee, a champion of the national guard. An effort yesterday by the Maryland sena- tor, who is not member of the com mittee, to question Colonel W. c. Brown, one of the officers who com piled the report, resulted in a clash with Chairman Chamberlain. The lat ter determined today, however. to give Senator Lee every opportunity to bring out the facts as to the mobiH- zation.
