Time Makes No Mistakes

We have never claimed that
s. $. $. was a medicine to
work wonders, nor one that
would cure every physical all
ment or disorder. More than
fifty years ago it was placed
z on the market and recon-
mended as a blood purifier,
and today, after a long and
successful " career, and when
its use has become almost
universal, only the same hon
est claim is made for it.
that it will relieve those dis
eases ,and disorders arising
from an impure or polluted
blood. Time makes no mis-
takes, and the very best rec
ommendation of S. S. S. is
the fact that it has stood a
long test and is now more
generally used than ever be-
fore, and has the confidence,
we believe, of a greater num-
Der of people than any other
blood medicine.
The blood Is the NEST
vital force of life; every
organ. nerve, muscle, tissue
and sinew of the body is de-
pendent on it for nourish-
ment and strength, and as it
circulates through the system,
pure and rich, it furnishes
these different members the
healthful properties needed to
preserve them TO perform
their various duties. SO long
as the blood remains free
from infection we are apt to
escape disease. but any impur-
ity, humor or poisonofts in
juriously on the system and
affects the good health.
Postular eruptions, pimples,
rashes. and the various skin
affections, show that the
blood is in a feverish condi-
ton as n result of some

 Judge Child of Woodstock in put ting in nomination Melancthon Rid dick of that town, said that he wished to present man who had also had legislative experience, and who had served on the appropriations com mittee and had an enviable record for attendance, and who was always present when wanted. He said that Woodstock had an interest as well as the district, and brought forward a man who would lead the party to sue cess in the district He is a republl- can and a man interested in public affairs, and would ably represent the district if elected. That the town of Woodstock and all the towns would receive considerate treatment at hls hands. and he would be one who would get out the vote. He alluded to Woodstock being a strong repuoli- can town and two years ago led the county by a majority of two for Hughes, and for governor stood sec ond in majorities. He said that at the last senatorial convention the town was disappointed, but that nev- ertheless it gave Mir. Macdonald owe half of the plurality he received i1 the district. The voters acted as good republicans should He thought the convention would do well to consider such a republican from strong re publican town.
 Judge Child then alluded to the matter of the prohibition amendment that will come up at the next session. He said that the governor did not think that it should be taken up at the special session last held because the senators and representatives were not elected when the matter was Tn consideration. But he thought that it should be considered at this time He spoke of the grange asking varl- ous candidates where they stood on the matter, and said that MT Riddick and also the democratic candidate had both declared they were in favor of the amendment. He said Wood stock is temperance town and that it had one of the biggest caucuses in some time. That there were men present who had sons in the service, and they were interestel in tSe pas sage of the prohibition amendment Dr E. R. Pike said that the repub- hcan party stood for a principle, that it was more than a name and, while he did not wish to convey threat, he thought that if the party departed from the principle that there would be ahose who might vote for some other candidate.

Upon receipt of a request by telegraph from Washington. sign ed by many prominent senators, governors and others, including Senator c. P. Mclean from this state. that he designate Saturday, the 10th. as Pershing Day for pro scouting of the Liberty Loan can vass. Governor Marcus H. Hoi- comb issued the following
 Connecticut raised 147 per cent. of the amounts allotted to it of the First. Second and Third Liberty Loans, total of S296. .e46.S50 which the army of citizens at home has invested in Liberty bonds as a practical addition to the 70.00o men we have furnished to the fighting force of the United States, who are now on their way to vic tory.
 The amount called for by the Fourth Liberty Loan is absolutely required to finance the war. Con- neeticut must not only do its part but every Connecticut citizen should take as much of the loan as is possible. This will encourage our army and the armies of our allies.
 I. therefore, designate Saturday, October 19, as

 to be devoted to universal effort to subscribe for the Fourth Liberty Loan, and to make our record first among the states of our union.

Putnam, Thompson, Woodstock, pomfret, Eastford, Ashford-towns comprising the northern Windham county Liberty Loan district-are all over the top with their quotas and much to spare.
 One may truly say that the district has done its part. A certain amount allotted to the district has been rais- eed More than the amount has been raised-much more. Some people may be heard to say that the distr,ct has done more than it's part. This is not so. It can not be so. With the war in the present critical stage, with the final punch needed, the people at home, asked only to lend their mon- ey, can not do more than their part. Of course if this district is compared to some other that has not gone over the top in comparison it might be said that Putnam district has done more than its part, meaning only however, that Putnam district has made better showing than the oth- CT.
 Two billions are needed before the subscription closes Saturday night The country should not fail; the country cannot fail; the country should not fail, especially at this time when the allied armies have the leu ton hordes on the run. But the ap- parent approach of the end should not
