RHEUMATISM
LEAVES YOU FOREVER
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are Dis
solved and the Rheumatic Poison
Starts to Leave the System Within
Twenty-four Hours.

Every druggist in this county is authorized
to say to every rheumatic sufferer that if two
bottles of Allenrhu, the sure conqueror of
rheumatism does not stop all agony, reduce
swollen Joints and do away with the
slightest twinge Of rheumatic pain, he will
gladly return your money without comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested for years,
and really marvellous results have been accom-
plished in the most severe cases where the
suffering and agony was intense and piteous
and where the uatient was helpless
Mr. James H. Allen, the dscoverer Of
Allenrhu, who for many years suffered the
totments Of acute rheumatism, desires all suf-
ferers to know that he does not want cent
of anyone's money unless Allenrhu decisively
conquers this worst of all diseases, and he has
instructed every druggist to guarantee it in
every instance.-Adv.

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
Names Thursday, November 25th,
 Thanksgiving Day

Governor Holcomb has issued his Thanksgiving day proclamation des- ignating Nov. 25 as Thanksgiving day. 1t follows:
 ''From the earliest days of this commonwealth, it's governor called upon its people on one day in the fall season to join in giving thanks to God for the gifts which the year has brought. And on this tercentennial anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims we have especial reason to recognize divine guidance in our na- tional life. If it is for material wealth that we are to offer these thanks, never has there been a time when we ought to find reader ex- pression, for never was there a people more lowered with riches, less cursed with poverty and its ills.
 "But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that too often material pros perity deadens the spirit, and the mad hurry to win and spend which it engenders too often means no space to turn ones thoughts to the great realities of life, that lie beyond the scope of commerce, it's successes, it's failures-hid almost too deep for words. True thankfulness is not a lip service; it is not a gloating over comforts won and luxuries enjoyed. It is humble recognition of our un- deserving, shot through with warm ing sense of the goodness of God un- to us; it looks within for the rest that comes from still thoughts, yet it looks out to see if it may not bring to others a fair consent. No gift comes to God which does not stir the heart with something of the spirit of God.
 ''For the last time that it can fall to my lot to perform this office, I designate Thursday, Nov. 25, as our yearly day of Thanksgiving, and I would that then, as never before, each one of us, quickened on our appreciation of all those things which have shed brightness upon our days and filled our nights with peace, might truly resolve to use these, our riches, for the glory of God, Who gave them"

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
 NEXT MONDAY EVENING
Town Get Windfall of Nearly $14,OOO from
 Estate

q A special town meeting will be held at the town hall next Monday evening at eight o'clock, for the pur- pose of seeing what action the town will take towards appropriating a sum of money to the Community Association. The money if appro- priated, will be used by the associa- tion for the purpose of improving the playgrounds on East Main street.
 The Town of North Canaan re- gently received from the State of Connecticut, the sum of S13,644.36, the same being the towns share Of funds received by the state in settle ment of the estate of the late Miss Ella Brown. The Community Asso- citation has made application for a part of this sum and the matecr VIII be decided at the special meeting next Monday evening.
 The Community Association has been extremely fortunate in regard to gifts and promises of gifts, to carry on the work they have in mind Recently Samuel A. Eddy gave to the Association the large tract of land on East Main street now used as a playground. Other wealthy residents, it is understood, have sig nified their intention of assisting in financial way. h,

HOLSTEIN BREEDERS
 WILL ORGANIZE HERE
Meeting Will Be Held at Ca naan on November
 22nd

The campaign being conducted by the ,Holstein-Friesian Association of America will be started in Connecti- cut by meeting in Canaan on Nov. 22, and a meeting in Danbury on Tuesday, Nov. 23. This campaign is for the purpose of forming a strong New England Holstein Club which will be able through paid secretary to assist the small breeders in their problems of breeding, testing, and selling stock.
 About twenty of these meetings have been held in New England and ten more will be held previous to the opening of the campaign in Connec- ticut and in practically every in stance the breeders present have shown their confidence in the plans by enrolling in large numbers in the New England Club. 1t is expected that Connecticut breeders also will see the value of this organization since they must realize that those who join will receive much assistance while those who do not will find the Club working for its own members who are supporting it.
 When the New England States are taken as a unit we find that only New York and Wisconsin surpass this group as Holstein center in the United States, and that New Eng land ranks sixth as to the number of pure bred Holsteins per square mile. From this it is easily seen that New England should be known through out the country as an important Hol- stein Center. Yet, every Holstein breeder knows that New England has received very little consideration in the past. (The New England has received very little consideration in the past.) The New England Holstein Club proposes to put her on the map.
 Every breeder of pure bred or grade Holsteins should attend one or more of these meetings and become informed as to the plans and pro- gress.

ARMIsTIcE DANCE
Given By the American Legion Is We'll Attended

The Armistice Dance, given by the Garvin-O 'Connell Post of the Ameri- can Legion, was very well attended, and brought wildly to mind, the day two years before, when all rejoiced that the end of the World War was in sight.
 "Old Glory" was very prominently displayed together with the flags of "Our Allies, and before the inter mission the boys in uniform stood at attention" in the center of the hall, while the "Color Sergeant" carried the Legion Stars and Stripes at half mast, and the Orchestra played the Star Spangled Banner, as 2 tribute to the dear Comrades who had made the supreme sacrifice, for their Country.
 Refreshments were served as. a Bonus, and the thanks of the boys of the Legion were extended to the many friends who helped to make the dance such a success.

RED CROSS ROLL
 CALL ON SATURDAY
Be Ready to Join or Renew
 Your MembA- ship

The fourth annual roll call of the American Red Cross will be held in this town on Saturday, November goth. A house to house canvass will be made for members and it is hoped that every household in the town will respond to the appeal in a manner worthy of the great cause for which the Red Cross stands. In addition to the canvass, booth will be main tained throughout the day in the Post Office. Anyone not asked per sonally by one of the canvassers should send their membership dues of $1.00 to George P. Hardenbergh, treasurer of the 4th Roll Call.
 A. W. Krouse is manager of the Roll Call; Miss Catherine H. Rora- back, assistant manager and George P. Hardenbergh, treasurer. The list of ladies who have agreed to help are: Lillian Hall, Fanny Jackson, Lucy Teague, Mrs. Fred Brewer, Ruth Hatmaker, Miss Peters, Doris Barber, Mabel and Helen Baird, Edith Fuller, Naomi Carter, Louise Beaujon, Elsie Hester, Helen Dewey. Miss Casey, Miss Gaylord. Miss Imhoff, chairman of postoffice booth.
 A proclamation by Governor Mar GUS H. Holcomb calls for public sup port for the coming American Red Cross roll call campaign. It reads: To The Citizens of Connecticut:
 It seems fitting and proper, as aI snR %n %n hn favorable attention of the people of Connecticut the annual membership Roll Call of the American Red Cross which is to be conducted by various communities in this state November 14th to 20th. ~-.
 The work of the Red Cross during the War stands out conspicuously as wonderful achievement for human ity in practical relief of all kinds. The necessity of national and inter national aid to mitigate suffering and deprivation still exists and must be met by ths organization. Equally important and closer to our doors is the public health and home service work which is being undertaken as the peace service of the Red Cross, in the localities where such benefits are not alerady operating. <
 Saving and strengthening infant lives as well as the relief and pre- vention of sickness, suffering and di- sease, have large and real economic value to the State. Maintenance of the local Red Cross organizations is distinct asset for coping with un- expected disasters or health emer- gencies.
 Connecticut bas established an enviable record of wholehearted CO., operation in all worth while under takings. I am confident the same high standard will be maintained in the response of our citizens to this Fourth Red Cross Roll Gall.
 Marcus H. Holcomb, Governor. Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. II, 1920.
