A MISTAKE MADE BY MANY

Don't wait for rheumatism to indi-
cate diseased kidneys. When you suf-
fer pains and aches by day and sleep
disturbing bladder weakness by night,
feel tired, nervous ad run down, the
kidneys and bladder should be restor-
ed to healthy, strong and regular ac-
ton. 1t is a mistake to postpone
treatment. Foley Kidney Pills put
the kidneys in sound healthy condition
and keep them active and strong.
Begin taking today. Good results fol-
low the first dose. SOLD EVERY
WHERE.

Keeping a Lawn a Lawn

The Other mgnC an lllulSHdht Ilie'i'

tits always "piece" never an article
or an item) telling folks to keep
off my lawn" Says he, ut cost me
money to grade that lawn. l was two
months getting the grass to grow.
And now Just when it commences to
look like a velvet carpet them
Ruggleses takes to cutting over it
after dark and making path. And
Iwant piece put in the paper warn
in them Ruggleses that if they cross
my lawn again after dark or other
wise, I'm going to shoot 'em on
sight"
Then the harried newspaperman,
who tries to run an organ which shall
not be the town scold more often than
necessary to ease his own feelings,
started homeward in his car Eyes, ed
itors have cars in these days, but it
doesn't signify wealth-a man who
couldn't keep car these days could
MT keep two dogs) and at the foot
of the hill was hailed by the police
man. For a moment he though him
self pinched. Every autoist takes it
for foregone conclusion that when
hailed by the police that he's pinched
or going to be whether he's done any
thing or not.
II want piece put in the paper"
says the officer, "telling folks to keep
off other folkses lawns. It's burn
ing shame" says he, "that when a
man has gone to work and made
fine looking lawn at big trouble and
expense that there should be people
in the world that would deliberately
wear pathway across it and spoil
it. I'm having all sorts of complaints
and then righteous complaints and I
want the local paper to back up the
work of the police department"
The newspaperman breathed in re-
lief that he hadn't unwittingly run
amuck with his license plate off or
hooked onto and dragged ten lizzie
a couple of blocks or run over five
or six blue blooded poodles, and prom
Used the authorities the matter should
have publicity. But he meditated
darkly on the willingness of all flesh
to ride the newspaperman and get his
name up for the town scold and
croaker for possibly some of his sub
scribers and best advertisers were
"walkers across other peoples
lawns"
Down South Main street he turned
homeward to his corn meal and
cold potatoes. Coming around the
corner of the road toward his own

that he sowed with fine grass seed
two nights before and rolled with
much sweat of brow and profanity of
observation.
Subscribers, best advertisers or bill
peddlers-any man who'll wear al
path across another mans fine lawn
is piker, cheap skate and an I'M
desirable citizen. The police are a lot
of fine fellows with their jobs, and
this piece isn't splurge of nonsense,
either!

come from somewhere, and if not,
the property standing in the name of

Paintings of the Grout Family


Major Aaron .Grout of Newport
city, has been in Montpelier looking
after the hanging of two oil paintings
in the state house. The first was that
of w. w. Grout, who was 10 years a
member of Congress from Vermont,
having been elected from Barton and
who died in st. Johnsbury on the
Circuit farm some years ago. This was
hung at the right of the entrance to
the house of representatives. The 9TH
er was the painting of Josiah Grout,
Major CIRCUITS father, who was gov
elnor from 1896 to 1898. This was
hung in the executive chamber, some
of the other paintings being changed
about to accommodate this large one.
Both are fine pieces of work done by
the Artist Carbee of Boston, who
painted Capt. Charles E. Clark and
other portraits in the state house.

EXPRESSMEN MEET;
URGE IMPROVEMENTS
Better Marking Methods Are Also
Advocated by Company

The nationwide campaign inaugur-
ated by the American Railway Ex-
press company to bring about better
methods of packing and marking ex-
press shipments, began today with the
first of a series of meetings of ex-
press employees to be held in this city
during the month Of the drive At
convenient periods throughout the
day Agent Beach called together
groups Of of his co-workers and urg-
ed them to put their full force behind
the comprehensive campaign now I'M
der way and to work with shippers I'D
accomplishing decisive results in bet
tering the express service.
Vehicle men, depot platform and
claim bureau and Office employees
were each addressed by the agent or
his -four minute men," who made
stirring appeals for their active CO.
operation and keen interest in the
drive. The speakers told the express
New Britain herald., 1919-01-31

workers that they, Individually and
collectively, could give valuable aid
in the campaign by bringing their
work up to the highest standards.
There is room for Improvement eV-
erywhere they stated. Owing to con-
ditions brought about by the war, they
admitted the express service had not
been as good as the company had
expected to make it. But with these
obstacles removed and every express
man doing his part, the way has
been cleared for a very marked
change for the better.
In urging the men to seek the CO.
operation of shippers in the drive,
the agent brought to the attention of
the drivers the necessity of
giving them all the aid possible in
bringing their packing and marking
methods up to the required standard.
1t was acknowledged that the manner
OF packing AID marking varies with
the commodities, but the question of
whether a shipment is in proper con-
diuon for handling to destination
safely must be left to the good judg-
ment of the driver. who has been
thoroughly instructed on the rules
and regulations.
After the -four minute speeches,
Agent Beach announced the appoint
ment Of a better service campaign
