The reports from government sources
are that the present year will show a
great increase in immigration over the
past four or five years. The man who
has made a tour of inspection of the
country will give you the reason. He
will speak of the fertile soil, of the
good crops, of the attractive climate.

built up their homes and villages, who
have brought, and are applying, to-
day, their experience in economic land

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for n of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two. sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

INSTRUMENTATION can be best
ascribed to our own neglect or
c-arelessness. When the organs fail
in the discharge of their duties,
the putrefactive germs set in and
generate toxins-actual poisons,
which fill ones own body.
Sleepiness after meals, flushing
of the face, extreme lassitude, bill
iousness, dizziness, sick headache,
acidity of the stomach, heartburn,
offensive breath, anemia, loss of
weight and muscular power, de-
crease of vitality or lowering of
resistance to infectious diseases,
disturbance of the eye, dyspepsia,
indigestion, gastritis, many forms
of catarrh, asthma, ear affections

House Postpones Dry enforcement.

h &M&2 H4 H
The assembly committee on state af-
fairs reported, 6 to 5, for indefinite
postponement, the Axel Johnson bill
for enforcing prohibition in this state.
The committee held a heated session
after a public hearing. A number Of
amendments to the bill were pro-
posed, but the chairman, Axel john
son, was obdurate against accepting
them. Opponents of the bill said it
was too drastic or that they objected
to its creating a new state commission.
The part objected to especially is the
clause compelling a man to answer
questions as to knowledge of where
liquor may be found, under penalty OF
a $500 fine or Jail term until he does
answer questions.
This violates the well-established
principle of law that a man need not
testify against himself or against any
body else, if thereby he would incrim-
mate himself said two members OF
the committee.

OBITUARY
Ingoldsbee w. Trowbridge

Ipgoldsbee w. Trowbridge, wha'
passed away at "Owanico, his home
in Pomfret, last Sunday after lin
gering illness, at the age of "a years,
has been so we'll known in wide
community, especially among farm
ing people, that little need be said to
give emphasis at this tifae of the m
valuable lesson of his long and use
full life. For more than fifty years
his home has been in the midst of
the scenes where death overlook him.
Previous to that he had spent his
youth in the adjoining town of East
ford, the place of his birth, where he
had received a good practical educa-
ton. He early became member OF
the Woodstock Farmers Club, in
which. as long as it existed, he took a
prominent part. He was also life
member of the Woodstock Agricul-
tural Society.
In 1897 Mr. Trowbridge represent
ed the town of Pomfret in the house
of representatives of the general as
sembly, where he was prominent
member of the committee on agri-
culture. He also served the town IN
other capacities and, like his honored
father, Philander Trowbridge, was
frequently called to perform jury
duty or act as an advisor in commun-
ity affairs. His judgment was always
reliable and just. AS practical
farmer he stood high in town re-
nowned for its success in that direc-
ton. The whole community mad
known his many kindnesses and seen
the qualities of his modest, upright
and strictly honest life.
The funeral Wednesday afternoon
was attended by large circle OF rel
atives and friends and was conducted
by the Rev. Boynton Merrill, pastor
of the Putnam Congregational church,
assisted by the Rev. J. +. Trow-
bridge. brother of Mr.. Trowbridge.

over the events Of the past two years.
But" he continued, there is one
thing that / am certain Of, and that
is that | like Putnam, Connecticut,
II. S. A, whole lot better than Ber-

And Berlin, Germany, isn't such
bad place after all if Private Shaw's
word is worth anything, which it un-
doubtedly is. Not only is Berlin O.

people themselves, soldiers and civil
ians alike-are as friendly and
agreeable as anyone might WISH and
repeatedly shower invitations upon
the American doughboys for dinners
in their homes, and various entertain
merits.

IMPRESSED
WITH PUTNAM

1t is pleasant to know that outsid-
ers on their first visit to Putnam re
ceive a good impression of our city.
Chief Inspector Daniel Dwyer of
the Lawrence, Mass, police depart
ment was in Meehanicsville Tuesday
on business and stayed over night in
Putnam. The inspector told Captain
Bulger that he was most fayorably
impressed with the city and 1T APP
peared to him clean, orderly and
busy. He said the hotels were good
and the restaurants he found charg-
ing lower prices than in other places.
Il think you have fine little city
here, were his parting words.

Private Shaw accepted. In this way
he was able to see much of the enemy
country,
Private Shaw arrived in Putnam
early Wednesday forenoon, and the
first thing that he noticed was that
there were no trolley cars running
He was told that there was strike.
1T is funny, isn't it," he COM
mented that over her in America
there seems To be so much labor trou-
bic. while in Berlin, in fact all over
the parts of Germany that ! saw eV-
ervthing was going along just as 1t
must have been going before the war.
You would think that it would be the
other way around, and that Germany
would be having the strikes. But 1t
does not seem to be that way. In
Berlin every morning | used to meet
the men going to work, the profess
sional men with their little bags, and
everyone seeHlSu w " b'i7 -
about his days business. They didh
seem like people who had Just been
defeated in war. Berlin appeared to
he lust like any other big city IN
peace times.
Private Shaw's work had largely TO
do with the feeding of Russian prs
oners held in German prison camps
.There are half a million OF these
prisoners" he said, "The Red Cross
is caring for them in many of the
great detention camps.
On the first of July Private Shaw
left Brest for New York on the Great
Northern. The vessel was five and
one-half days in making the trip
which is record. The voyage home
was made particularly pleasant be
cause of the fact that Private Shaw
met Bugler Ralph Smith, also of Put

Shaw was discharged from Camp

bly could for Putnam-for after all

"JAKEY" DRUNK
THIRTY DAYS
Putnam Has First Case of In
toxication In Windham Coun-
ty Since Country Went Dry.
Court to Assume a More Severe Atti-
tude In These Cases and Costs
Are Now Higher

Sixty-one, but looking eighty, TIM
othy Healey of Woonsocket, an UNI
brella member, broke the good record
of Windham county and put the first
black mark on the slate by getting in
toxicated, being arrested and sent to
iail. While Putnam likes to be first
always in things that stand for pros
perity and the good of the common
wealth, to spoil the eounty's good
record by sending drunk to Jail,
the first since July first, is not one to
talk much about. But the fact is
there written into the record of the
Putnam city court, where Healey ap-
peared Thursday morning after get
ting full of Jamaica ginger, which Is
about SO per cent alcohol and to
which the old soaks have turned in
lieu of whiskey.
Timothy was asked where he got
the stuff. and true to tradition, he re-
piled that he brought It with him
from Webster Monday night and had
since been enjoying it.
"There is nothing for me to do but
to give you thirty days and costs,
said Judge Geissler.
"Oh, don't give me that" replied
Healey.
"Why not?" asked Hizhonor.
Il don't like it," was the reply.
Judge Geissler said that that was
the reason he gave it to him because
he had broken the law and there was
no excuse for it.
"All right, your honor" were
Healey's parting words.
Judge Geissler said that he viii as
sumo severe attitude toward all
DRINKS in the future The temptation
has been taken away and man will
not get intoxicated now unless he de-
liberately seeks to do so.
Incidentally Judge Gelssler says
that the costs of court have been
raised from $500 to $i0.40, due to a
change in officers fees by the last leg
islature. No more will the S23.o9
sentence be heard. This has been the
minimum fine and costs of bygone
years. Hereafter it will be S25,l4-
SIS. the maximum fine, and costs of
SOFA.
