tertainment committee of Anselm May otte post of the American Legion, Put
 nam has received word from the adju- tants of the posts in Danielson, Willi-
 mantle and Grosvenordale that the mem
 bers of those posts are willing to cooper
 ate with the Putnam post in heiding field day, On Labor Day. The sug-
 gestien that suelr> an event be arranged originally came up at the meeting of the
 Putnam post a week ago Monday, at
 which time it was referred to the enter tainment committee MT klebert has
 received replies to inquiries sent out by him from Arthur J. Duprey, adjutaht
 of the Leo J. LHomne post of Daniel seni Philip Duhamel, adjutant of the Oscar Swanson post of Grosvenordale and pr. W, P, Heating, commander of the James J. Shea post in Willirantic and all of them are anxious that some sor tof an outing be arranged. In order that plans may be definitely formulated
 each of the posts has agreed to send rep | resentatives to Putnam next Monday night at which time a meeting of the Mayotte post is to be held in the rooms of the Putnam chamber of commerce
 The Putnam committee has already
 gone ahead in outlining tentative pro-
 gram for the day. Two plans have been | suggested. One calls for county ath- lletie, contest, in which. track events would be featured The other would
 make the day a general picnic, to which the eK-serYice men could bring friends and relatives, and in this case the ath- lstie side would be somewhat secondary l MT. .Klebert said Thursday that he thought the latter program would be
 more generally acceptable. In all preba. bility the celebration will be held al l Wildwood Park, on Alexandsr's lake.

LESS MEAT # BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says well-lSnown authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry In the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con.
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid.
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri.
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

WARNING GIVEN
 FRUIT GROWERS

Storrs, Conn.,, March 27.-warning is issued to fruit growers of Connec- ticut by Professor S. P. Hollister of the Pomology Department at Con necticut Agricultural College, to the effect that thousands of fruit trees will be lost unless prompt action is taken to repair winter damage from mice and rabbits.
 Because of the heavy snow this winter, mice and rabbits have been forced to live largely upon the bark of trees. In many orchards the dam age is very great and some trees are probably injured beyond repair. Un- less completely gTdled, however, trees may be saved by the process known as bridge grafting'' This is a method of carrying the sap over injured portions of the tree by the use of ~scions"
 Directions for treating such fruit trees may be obtained from the Agr1- cultural College at Storrs or from the various County Farm Bureaus Elk per1enced oEchardists are well in formed on this subject because such damage, although on a smaller scale IS an annual occurrence
 Because of the depth of snow some trees are said to be injured even four or five feet above ground
