Millions OF men and women take a

Let CHScarets cleanse your stomach;

bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens you

GAME CALLED OFF
Sunshine Came Too Late to Arrange For Afternoon Contest With South bridge.

4 cold and dark forenoon caused a cancellation of what was to have been Putnam's opening baseball game with the American Optical team of South bridge on the fair grounds Wednes- day afternoon, much to the disap- pointment Of hundreds of fans who had figured on the attraction as the big feature of a holiday afternoon. Contrary as he has been all season. the weather man switched the dope just after the noon hour and a beau tiful afternoon flashed out, but it was too late to again make arrangements for the game. Then, also the grounds were rather wet following the rain of the three preceding days.
 Next Sunday afternoon, then, will give the fans here their first game. The visitors are the Joe Connolloy Roy Rock All Stars, and these well known players promise to bring a team to Putnam that will give the locals a real warm battle.
 Connolly, who made a great repu- tation as member Of the Boston Braves has scores and scores of ad- rnirers in this city and Rock also can count a great many friends. Both have played with Putnam and against Putnam. They are going great guns this season and will have a team with them that is up to their standard of pep.
 Cost eF Schools Increased.
 A table of the comparative cost of schools to the town of Putnam through a series Of recent years has been compiled in the office of the sec retary of the town school committee. The figures show that the cost has materially increased during the past four years. but 1t is claimed only in measure commensurate with the ex- tension of the educational facilities of the town and the increased cost that bears on educational work as well as on all other lines of endeavor.
 For the year 191S-14 the cost of the schools in this town was S23, PTS .49 :; the year 1s14-15, s25,2es.7I; the year 1s15-1S, $27,se4s4: 1s1S-17 (JuIy Is,
