When New Britain Citizens Show a
 Way

There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tor lures of an aching back, the annoy ance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a New Britain citizen says:
 Mrs. Alice Howe, 230 Washington St., New Britain, says: 1T have often used Doan's Kidney Pills for various symptoms of kidney trouble and I do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone having kidney complaint. suffered intensely from my kidneys and sometimes I was hardly able to work. I tried a number of medicines but never found any relief until l took DOan's Kidney Pills. Now l would never use any other kidney medicine"

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat ural color dates back to grandmoth- - CTS time. She used it to keep her hear beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fel out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful eff feet.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out of-da Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 5O-cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound,' you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan- druff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after an other application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant

CAHILL C0. PLANS
 FOR NEW BUILDING
Starts Raging Old Structures to
 Clear Recent Purchase
STOREHOUSE TO BE CONCRETE
A. N. Clark III With Pneumonia Many Others On Sick List-Dates
 SpinncrS Refuse to Work Overtime.

Preparatory to starring the erection of a three story concrete structure, ] which is to be used as a storehouse and supplying station for this ] section, the c. w. Cahili company of l Meriden yesterday put a force of men to work raging the old factory building which for number of years housed the foundry operated by Lucas Carter, now of California. The build ing had been occupied for the past
 two years by N. c. Nystrom of Bris- tol who used it as a plant for the
 manufacturing of paper lunch boxes. He has moved his machinery and
 other equipment into one of the buildings on the Mason property, where he will make his quarters, temporarily at least
 That the Cahill people propose to 1 carry out the plans announced a few weeks ago when they purchased the property from Edward T. Carter it evidenced from their promptness in starting on the destruction of the buildings now located on the land The plans for the proposed building have already been prepared, it is said, and as soon as the land is cleared excavation for the foundation for the concrete structure will be started.
 The house will serve as a distribut- l ing station and auto trucks, which | will be used in transporting goods
 to New Britain, Bristol, Southington
 and Unionville, will be stationed
 here. The company now has to pay storage for goods sold in these
 places and after the Plainville sta i tion is erected all the business for l this section will be done from here. 1 Men will be sent from the Meriden l office to take charge of the local 1 business.
 1 Plainville merchants appear to be l we'll pleased over the company's move
 as the location of a wholesale grocery house here will make it more con-
 venient for them to get goods. A, | present when there is an unexpected
 shortage in any part of their stock
 they have to wait for two or three 1 days to replenish it, borrowing goods
 from other storekeepers to tide them l over. The Cahill house will be con.
 venient to them and will cause much
 of their worries to disappear. | Expect Clock Here Soon. Local friends of Charles H. Norton l of Worcester, Mass, have been ad
 vised that the memorial clock which | he is to install in the tower of the 1 Congregational church will be shipped | here in a short time. The clock,
 which is of special design, has been | ordered from the New Haven Clock 1 company which has promised to get 1t | here before the middle of January l The memorial is a tribute to Mir. 1 Norton's mother, Mrs. J. c. Norton, ] and his wife, who was daughter of 1 the late E. F. Tomlinson, Plainville's s l postmaster for many years. It will have two faces and will be so located 1 that it can be seen for a considera ble | distance from both east and west. The 1 clock will ring automatically every 1 hour.

There was a large attendance at the annual supper and business meet ] ing of the Congregational church on Thursday evening. The pastor presided and had as his guest, Rev. Robert c. Whitehead. The reports of the church and it's various organ izations showed that the years work has been successful. The Ecclesias- tical society reported many on hand with pledges to meet all obligations. The church treasurer reported an increase for nearly all the objects
 of benevolence beside extra collection for Armenian relief war orphans and special work in Kentucky. Several advance steps have been taken dur
 ing the year. The Endeavor society
 organized a vacation summer school
 for Polish children in which sewing,
 raffia work and kindergarten work
 were the principal features. The
 society also maintains a monthly
 meeting at the Children's home.
 The offerings for foreign work have
 this year gone for the support of
 Rev. Jerome c. Holmes. a missionary
 in Sopporo, Japan. The Brotherhood helped to secure the passage of a bill through the legislature by which towns have power to pass bylaws
 
 and has drawn up some bylaws to 1 present to the town for adoption. l Over S1,0O0 has accumulated for 1 charges and renovations of the | chapel and a committe consisting of | George Hanbury, Samuel Bassett, Mrs. M. l.. Stoddard and Mrs. George ! Steele were appointed to secure es- inmates. All the officers of tho church were reelected, Thomas Francis, treasurer; John S. KirkhaIG, clerk; w. S. Walker, assistant clerk, and George w. Hanbury auditor Raymond Tucker was appointed user in the place of Raymond Goodale, who is away to school The officers of the Sunday school remain the same and Joshua Belden, who has served for thirty five years as super intendent, was reelected. The Ec- clesiastical socity accepted with much regret the resignation of Treasurer Herbert Francis, who has given many years of faithful service, and elected to that place Norman P. Camp. George w. Hanbury was reelected clerk and the society's committee is John H. Fish, in the place of F. Stanley Wells, who resigned on ac- count of ill health, E. A. Elliott and w. S Walker.
