DIAGNOSE YOURSELF

THERE Is a peculiar germ which men quickly
discover in others but seldom in themselves
Its name is Fault
Gle is lifelesS who is faultless," says an old
proverb meaning the only perfect men are dead
men,
There are many kinds of Fault germs Chief
among them cruelty, constant nagging fault-fnd-
ing and sefshneSs.
These make disagreeable men and disagreeabe
men make 4 diSagreeabe world
Life is what you make il and YOU MAKE
III AS YOU THINK IT.
To a man with smile the earth Is a circus
to the dismal man who lacks cheer the earth is a
"sea of troubles"
He who meets others with growls in youth
viii be greeted with growls in odd age
The man who selfiShly refuses aid TO the needy
should not look for aid when in need
The first symptom of Fault infection Is 10
be unaware of its presence
CheeruneSs ambition, sincerity and brother
ly feelings are the best medcines-and surest
cures.
Lucky the man who knows his Faults
happy the man who labors against them
BE your own observation-disclosures yourself

RAUS NIT SUCH REFORM!

,DAH for the women of Berlnl We don't care
IL what they look like, or what they're wear
ing. but they've put down one effort at so-called
reform in manner that suits
Recently, the Berlin Women's Refomers of
Fashion got up public meeting under the
auspices (alleged) of the crown princess. Speak
ers urged the big crowd TO taboo everything foreign
in the way of dress and to return to the plain
German, ink-bottle effect in their attire. No more
highheeled shoes, pumps, gauzy stockings foreign
styles or fabrics, etc, etc. calm, deadly, por-
tentous, unanimous calm settled upon the vast
concourse of women.
Then, an opposition speaker arose. She waved
the latest models of gowns. She appealed to
women to be women. She showed samples of new
dateness. Whereupon that vast concourse afore-
said arose and sat down upon that Fashion Re-
form and the reformers
We chortle in that, amidst all the horrors of
war and the widespread perVersion of human ma
ture, the women of Berlin are still real women.
Melt their butter into nitro-glycerine, boil their
kettles into shrapnel feed them on chemical meat,
If you will, Mr.. Kaiser, but when you go to abolish
their fashions, you strike up against something that
will turn the edge of even authority by divine
right" Woman is woman, and the fellow who
tries to make something else of her isn't posted
on the stories of Hercules, Samson and Socrates.

USE " TIz' IF FEET
 ACHE, BURN, PUFF UP
taii tcat '"Tiz'' for sore urcd swollen, calloused feet
 or cOrnS.

You can be happy-footed in mo- ment. Use 'Tiz' and never suffer with tender, raw, burning, blistered, swollen, tired aching feet. "Tiz" and only "Tiz' takes the pain and soreness out of corns, callouses and bunions.
 AS soon as you put your feet in a "tiz' bath, you just feel the happiness soaking in. How good your poor, old feet feel. They want to dance for joy. "Tiz" is grand. "Tiz" instantly draws out all the poisonous exudations which puff up your feet and cause sore, in- famed. aching sweaty feet.
 Get 25-cent box of '"Tiz'' at any drug store or department store. Get in- stant foot relief. Laugh at foot suffer- CTS who complain. Because your feet are never, never going to bother or make you limp any more.

Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the flow of mucous amazes you that such objectionable matter could find lodg- ment in your head. To ignore this catarrh when the cold subsidies is wrong because it continues to slowly injure the delicate Things of the nasal passages and clog them up.
 To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos trils frequently with solution of warm water and salt, insert vaseline on re- tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals for one month. Scott's acts through the blood to feed the tissues, and contains soothing glycerine to check the inflammation and heal the sensitive membranes.
 Scott's is pleasant to take.

 Program Announced.
 The days of Lew Dockstader and Hi Henry will be revived in Kenslng- ton on Friday evening of this week when the Kensington Ladies' Minstrel troupe will make it's initial appearance in Parish hall. The girls have been practicing for the past three weeks and some of the soloists are able to reach high c with ease. They are going to have singing, dancing and new and original jokes. Miss Nora O'Brien, who will be the interlocutor, feels confident the jokes will lar surpass those which the male troupe used on it's appearance in Southlngton' There are twenty members III the troupe and the music from therr voices will no doubt make the rafters of St. PauTs Parish hall ring.
 The program, announced this morn ing, follows:
 Opening Chorus-"Come Back Dixie''-Company.
 Solo-'"That's the sond of Songs for Me.''-Miss Rose Pagan.
 Sola-You'd Never Know That Old Home Town of Mine''-Miss Elizabeth Carbo.

 i Closing Chorus-Birth Of Ma
 tion.''
 l Miss Lillian Trehy will be the pianist and the end parts will be taken
 by the Misses Helen Trehy, Elizabeth i Carbo, Nellie Garrity and Anna Carbo. The proceeds from the entertain ment will be turned over to St. PauPs schurch corporation, for use by the
 directors of that organization. The members of the troupe are making a, i thorough canvas of the town with
 tickets and from present indications Parish hall will be crowded. l Present Testimonial. l The pupils Of Miss Anna Scollon, l who is confined with an attack of grip, miss her very much and in order to show their affection and esteem for her today purchased a bouquet of l flowers, which was sent to her this l afternoon There was much more secret whispering yesterday than usual 1 and the teachers in charge knew something unusual was about to hap l 1en. The pupils waited after school last night and asked permission to have a meeting in the room. which was granted. The scholars decided to show their appreciation for their 1 teacher by sending little testimonial | of their regard. The following com
 nnittee was appointed to raise the i funds and make arrangeme to de- liver the testim onial: Misses Anna l German, treasurer; May Bollman, ! Fred Karan, William Skeen, James 1 Garrity and Jarol Elmgren.

fired from his activity of the past six months, Nicholas Masselli four teen year old pupil of the kensington Grammar school, had the limelight turned on him again last Friday, when he attempted to have a check cashed at various stores on Main street, Ken -gfngton. Young Masselli has been the subject of much discussion on previous occasions, and attempted a come back" but like Napoleon at Water loo. he met his master in the person of Seward Cowles. In some manner, the youth obtained a blank check and filled it in, making s5 payable to F. E. Williams and signed with his fathers Name, Tony Masselli.
 Coming down Main street, he first stopped at Ritchie's store, and asked Richard Luby to cash the check. Af- ter examining it minutely, MT. Luby refused the request. Nicholas then went to Williams market where he told the clerk, his father sent him to pay small bill and prooffered the check in payment. The clerk looked at the paper, smiled and told the boy to let the bill stand for a while longer. (His next stop was the Kensington post office, where he demanded that Miss Moore turn over coin of the realm to him for the check. Miss Moore refused MasselIi was a trif1e disheartened, but not discouraged, and swas seen going in the direction of the Masse1li homestead. A short while after, he appeared at Cowles' store and asked Seward Cowles, who was / in charge if he could cash a check He had changed it so it was made payable to his father and signed with the name of F. E Williams. MT. Cowles told him he would keep the check for the time being and would return it to the young man later. Nicholas acquiesed in this and left the ystore. The boy was questioned re- garding the check, but refused to di- vulge where he obtained it or where the idea came into his mind. Accord ing to those who are familiar with MT. Williams handwriting. the pen manship was very good likeness. The residents are anxiously waiting dne next move of this adroit young jman.

College Closed.

Erwin Whitman returned home this morning from Eagleville, where he is a student at Connecticut Agricul- tural College. There has been many cases of grip among the faculty and students during the past few days and yesterday they assumed propor- tions of an epidemic. A feeling was growing on the campus that it would be necessary to close the school tenn porarily and this feeling was justified yesterday when three cases of scarlet fever were found and the authorities decided to close the college. Ac- cording to MT. Whitman, the exodus of students after the announcement was made in rapid fashion. The au- thorities at the institution have closed 1t indefinitely and the report was the school would be shut down from one to five weeks.
 :- Early Brick Season.
 On account of the shortage of brick. the local manufacturers have decided to begin making earlier than usual this spring. Last summer the out put was not normal, because of the large supply on hand and the fact that the market was flooded. However, the war-boom came along and build ings were rapidly built especially by munitions plants. Since the middle of December, between twenty-five and thirty cars of brick have left the To- cal freight yard. The manufacturers, although hampered by lack of help, expect to begin making by March and some have said they will take a. chanCe' next week
