FOUR-FOLD Benefit
From Two Grand Medicines in Spring.

from Two 1rano medicines IN oPrIn9'
You know that physicians often
give two prescriptions, perhaps more,
or MEDICINES to be taken together, or
alternately or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
cines are incompatible" not
agree when closely mixed in taking
or that desired results cannot be
secured by one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that we
know of-because perfectly "com-
patible" and productive Of the best
results-is in Hoods Sarsaparilla
and Peptiron Pills. The former
thoroughly searches out and expels
impurities from the blood, while
Peptiron Pills give the much-needed
powerful tonic-they literally "put
iron into your blood.".
Hoods Sarsaparilla should be
taken before meals and Peptiron
Pills after meals-patients taking
them so report the benefit is four
fold-prompt, positive, permanent.
Both these medicines are economical
and pleasant to take.

SO that those who work in mills, ETC.,
can have an opportunity to work even

PQainVille News MURDER WITNESSES
 ARE GIVEN FREEDOM Negroes Released After Being
 Confined in Jail Two Weeks TRY SLAYER IN SEPTEMBER

Witnesses Instructed to Remain in
 Jurisdiction of State Until Case Is
 Called for Trial-Wife Beater sen-
 tenced-Closing of Chautauoua.
 Acting on the suggestion of States Attorney Hugh M Alcorn, four ne- groes held as material witnesses to the murder of Frank Tanner. who was stabbed to death by Herman Harris on July 4, have been ordered released from custody. The men have been instructed. however, to re- main in this locality until the slayer is brought to trial
 Worn out from the strain of the trial of Mrs. Gilligan, the states at torney is taking a well earned rest and consequently it Is expected that the trial of Harris will not come up until the September term of the Su- perior court.
 Rather than force the men, who have acknowledged witnessing the crime. to remain in Jail for two months longer, MT. Alcorn agreed to allowing them their freedom and Grand Juror Norton nolled the charges of breach of the peace on which they have been held since the day of the murder.
 The men were brought here Sat- urday evening by Captain Hurley and Officer Wheeler of the state police. They were subsequently released, the grand juror suggesting that they re- port to Constable Marino twice a week until the trial is called. The quartet is employed in connection with the laying of pavement between Plainville and Bristol and it was re- ported that they returned to work this morning.
 Fear is expressed that they will leave the state before the case is called as it is said that they are friendly with the murder. An effort will be made to keep them under sur veillance and any effort they may make to get out of the jurisdiction of the local authorities will probably result in their arrest.

Robert Cole, No. 258, Will Be First Before Examining Board
SIZE OF QUOTA UNKNOWN
St. Pauls Drum Corps Takes First Prize at Waterbury Carnival State Surveyors Look Over Site of New Bridge-Briefs.

In order to enlighten those young men of the town of the order in which their number was drawn at Washing ton and the order in which they will have to appear before their respective examining boards to receive their physical examination and file claims for exemption, if they so wish. a par tial list, all that could be tabulated by press time, is published below, giving the desired information.
 Robert Cole of Berlin, the proud owQer of the number 25S, which was the first drawn, will be the first man to appear before the local exemption board Others will follow in the or der in which their numbers were se- lected from the lottery. As the town of Berlin and the towns within it's jurisdiction lost their identity under the rules for conscrip- ton drawn up by Provost Marshall Crowder, and became part of the distlict which includes Avon, Berlin, Bristol, West Hartford, Plainville and Eouthington, only one exemption board will be appointed for these six towns, before which all eligibles will appear in the order in which they were selected.
 
 not receive an individual allotment of the men they will have to furnish, but Instead quota will be placed on the district, considerable interest has been | manifested in what that quota will be. If the towns were taken as separate nnits 1t could be easily estimated how l many men each town should furnish l However. as this is not the case and little information is available as to how the authorities will assign the all lotments for different districts, specu- iation is rife, as to the number of To- cal boys who will eventually become a part of Uncle Sam's first draft army.
 The exemption for tho district will nrobably consist of the following men: B. l. Miller of Avon, Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington and Dr. T. c. | O'Connell of Bristol
 Below is the partial list of eligibles from the town of Berlin and the order In which they were drawn:

Robey and AL bert Rick are the ones to make the re- quest which has been compiled with by Town Clerk Fl ancis H. Shaw. Their respective numbers are AT and All and if they can pass the physical examination and file no claims for eX- emption, will probably included in the first draft.
