NEWBURY

Last Thursday, Jan l6, Robert NJ. Me-
serve commenced the S0th year of his ex-
istence on this mundane sphere. Here in
the pleasant home of his son, Milo, invit-
ed friends, friends who knew him in his
boyhood, his early manhood and his Wig
orous prime, gathered o,enioy with him
the serenity which years had brought.
Mr. Meserve's health is not of the best
but his mind is clear as a bell and time
has not abated his indomitable energy.
His mind is storehouse of "reminiscences
of so and 60 years ago, which makes him
a most enjoyable companion. Here on
this historical farm in a home which
surrounds him with every comfort, in
this home which faces the rising sun and
has an outlook on the broad meadows,
the beautiful Connecticut and the noun
tainS in the distance, this man of so
years can enjoy the fruits of his labors
and with the psalmist can say, MY lines
have fallen in pleasant places"
A most impressive service was held
Sunday afternoon in the Congregational
church, conducted by Rev Henry S. Ives
and Rev. 0rrin W. Brock, in memory of
Earl u. Brock, who gave up his life in
the service of his country in a foreign
land. OF the IS boys of our town, he
was the only one who lost his life in ac-
tion. The large number present showed
their respect for the dead and their sym
pathy for the afflicted parents. What
seemed to make the service doubly i'm
pressive was that the speakers them
selves we're passing through the sea OF .
similar affliction and their words of SYM
pathy came from stricken fathers who
knew whereof they spoke, and which
touched a responsive chord in the hearts
OF those present and gave the large con-
gregation the impression that IL was in a
holy place, the house Of mourning, the
presence of God.
Life is a great artist Sometimes it
remakes a woman's face, refining through
suffering and sorrow, ehiselling rough
features through pain into fine ones.
Sometimes it makes the wrinkled faded
face of an old woman beautiful through
the sheer goodness stamped upon. These
thoughts came to the writer as standing
beside the open casket of an aged woman
who passed from this world into the life
Of the beyond Sunday morning, Jan. 5.
Almira Clement was born in North Grot-
on, n. H., Aug. n, 1910, On Feb. 81,

were born, only two now living Mrs
Whitney of this place, and Mrs. c. H.
Wood of BrOcktOn, Mass. These minis
tering daughters were with her until the
last and did everything in their power
to alleviate her sufferings. The last few
years Of her life were spent in Newbury,
where she was a member Of the First
Congregational church and like the Mary
Of old did what she could to help carry
on the work of the Master Her funeral

ter Wednesday, Jan. s, Rev. Henry S.

In This Story
Says coras stop hurting, then
lift right off without
one bit Of pain

Hospital records show that every time
you cut corn you invite lockjaw or
blood poison, which is needless, says a
Cincinnati authority, who tells you that
quarter ounce Of drug called freezone
costs but a few cents at any drug store
but is sufficient to rid ones feet Of every
hard or soft corn or callous without even
one little twinge Of pain.
You simply apply few drops OF this
freezone on a tender, aching corn and
the soreness is instantly relieved Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out, root
and all, with your fingers.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inaaming or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels, she
win be glad to know of this--Ady

WATERBURY,
Sergt. Alex Conbrough, Australian, Gave
Address in Behalf of Relief Fund.

At mass meeting in the Waterbury
opera house Sunday evening, in the in
terest of the Armenian Syrian relief
drive, Sergt. Alex Gonbrough of the Aus
tralian army delivered the most graphic
and stirring address that has been heard
during the war. Only man who has
passed through so many hells and has
seen and lived the fortunes of Prussian-
lied and Turkish warfare could have
held his audience as did Sergt. Con-
brough. His description of the landing of
the Australian army at the Gallipoli pen
insula and their heart breaking attempts
to reach their objective against odds of
ten to one, was so vivid that the audi
ence could almost see the lines swaying
as the advantage lay with the Turks or
the Australians.
Sergt. Conbrough' made strong APP
peal for the relief of the Armenians and
Syrians and described the arrival of a
boatload of refugees in which there were
no men of military age and no women
between Is and 35. The men had been
driven into the sea until they drowned
and the women had been sold as slaves.
Many of the children on the boat had
been horribly mutilated. Among the ref
ugees was an old Belgian priest, whose
only thoughts were of his prosecuted
people and who had appealed to the com
manding officer of the Turks and asked
that the outrages cease. The officer, a
German, ordered the eyes of the priest
to be burned out with red hot tongs and
when the Australian lads saw these liv-
ing examples of Turkish barbarity they
vowed to have life for a life and an
eye for an eye.
In the advance in which Sergt. Con-
brough received his wounds, 1000 Aus
tralians advanced to make a new firing
line; 200 of them reached their obiec-
tive and for % hours under the tropical
sun he, with his wounded comrades, lay
without water or aid The slightest
movement of wounded man, even to
brush the flies or the vermin from his
open wounds, drew snipers' fire on him
and the agony suffered by these men
caused many tear among the audi
ence. Forty-seven of his wounded COM
rades were murdered by cowardly snip
ers' bullets as they lay helpless be-
tween the lines.
For not one moment did the interest
in Sergt Conbrough's talk lag. He urged
his audience to give to the utmost to
relieve the suffering caused by the Turks
under their German masters. No speak
err in Waterbury ever made a finer ad-
dress than did Sergt Congrough and
those who heard him hope he may APP
pear again at a later date.
A musical program and tableaux were
well rendered before his address.
