The Westminster Congregational church in the western part of the town of Canterbury is to celebrate on Tues day of this week the 150th anniversary of the building and the organization of the church, conducting a programme that will last through the morning and after noon. There are but three Congrega- tional churches in the state of Connec- ticut still in use, that are older than the Westminster church.
 The programme arranged is to be car ried out as one of the regular gatherings of the Six-Church South Windham con- ference. Those who attend will follow the usual conference plan of bringing a basket lunch, but hot coffee will be pro vided by the entertaining church. Sev- eral out-of-town speakers and some former residents are to be present and an interesting day is anticipated
 One of the unique facts in con nection with the church is that the build ing was erected and prepared for dedica- ton before the church body was organiz- cd Both events took place on the same day, Tuesday, Nov. 20, TITO. The church has always been a vital factor from pre- revolutionary times in all that has con- l cerned tie western half of the town of Canterbury.
 The organization of the church came l50 years after the landing of the Pill grims. The following is the programme that has been prepared for the semi-ter- centenary of Westminster church: Ten O'Clock A. M i Doxology

HOW TAX APPLIES ON
 SAFE OF SOFT DRINKS

N
 Rulings Of the commissioner of internal revenue on details concerning the collec- tion of various sorts of taxes have been received by Collector James J. Walsh One relative to the wholesale dealing in soft drinks is expected to cIGrify the opinions held by many dealers who have unwit- tingly violated some sections of the act.
 An announcement by tl1e collector gives the following explanation:
 "In order to disneI any confusion which may exist in the minds of taxpayers there is outlined below the interpretation which the collector of internal revenue places upon the regulations with regard to the basis of tax under this section of the act:
 Article [ of regulations B provides , that the tax attaches when the beverage is sold, that is to say, when the title to it passes from the vendor to the purchaser, ! which, in the absence of an intention to ! the contrary, is presumed to be upon the delivery of the beverage to the purchaser or to a carrier for the purchaser
 Article 9 of regulations 52 provides that if articles are sold at the factory or f. o. b. cars at the place of manufacture, 1 and the freight or delivery charges from l such place to the point of delivery are l paid by tho purchaser as a specific item. or if they are sold delivered at q sum less | freight or delivery charges to be paid by the purchaser, such charges need not be included as a part of the price of the

How To Keep Young AND GUARD AGAINST A PREM. AZURE BREAKDOWN

A very large percentage of men and women of middle age break down pre- maturely from apopIeXy, nerve, heart or kidney troubles.
 The only way to avoid it is to con- serve vitality and strengthen vital re- sistence by keeping the blood cor puscles properly balanced.
