HE HAS CONQUERED
HIS WORST ENEMY
Portland Man Feels Like
New Person Since Tanlac
Overcame His Indigestion

"By the help of Tanlac l have con-
tion," said Charles C. Fifeld, of 1862
Boothby Square, Portland, Maine.
"My appetite was very poor" he
continued, nothing | ate agreed with
me, and meats especially caused me
no end of misery. | had severe cans
in the pit of my stomach and at times
there was such pressure through my
chest that it felt like my breath was
being shut off.
"For number of years | suffered
with Indigestion so bad that at times
it just doubled me up. One day one
of these attacks struck me at my
work and | thought my time had sure
ly come. l took an hour to walk half
a mile to my home and l was afraid
| would never get there alive.
"Well, | saw several statements
from local people about what a good
medicine Tanlac was, so | began 1t
myself. The first bottle helped me
so much that went back for more
and kept on taking it until am now
feeling fine. My appetite is so big
that | just want to be eating all the
time, and although | eat meats or
anything else | want | never have
any signs of Indigestion.
81 am feeling better in every way
than | have in a long time and have
picked up so much strength and en-
ergy that l can do big days work
and still feel fine when night comes.
Tanlac has just Strengthened me out
and | am glad to recommend it,"

MILK UP A CENT
Farmers Will Receive 101s Cents
 per Quart for September

Farmers who supply milk for the Boston market will receive 10kc per quart delivered in Boston for September. This is an advance of one-half cent a quart from the Aug ust price but part of the advance will be swallowed up in the increase in freight rates and will bring nothing back to the farmers.
 This price was made for the Bos- ton milk market but it effects most other smaller markets in New Eng land as it is the custom for the smaller cities to follow the lead of Boston as regards prices. In asking for a higher price the Sales Com- mittee of the New England Milk Producers Association, the sales agent of the farmers, left the 3.7 per cent butterfat standard the same as for the past few months, instead of returning to he old 3.5 per cent basis. Returning to the old basis would be equivalent to a slight in- crease in price as farmers would re- ceive a premium of milk which tested more than 3.5 per cent butter fat.
 Costs of producing milk in Sep tember will be somewhat higher than in August. The Association has secured present prices of grain in many retail markets in New Eng land. While the wholesale price of grain has declined the decrease is slight yet in small lots in the country It seems probable that the increase in freight rates will more than offset any small reduction in grain prices which may come in September.

DAIRYMEN TO COOPERATE
Plan to Form An Organization 90
 They Can Buy Grain Cheaper

Plans are being made whereby all users of grain in Connecticut will be organized into a co-operative asso- citation and if these efforts are suc- cessful the 10000 dairymen in the state will be enabled to buy grain on more advantageous terms than at present. This will reduce the cost of milk production and prevent many dairymen from going out of business, and the price of milk to consumers may therefore be reduced.
 This became known when circulars signed by Leonard H. Healey, sec retary of the state board of agricul- ture; Thomas Holt, dairy and food commissioner; and H. H. Myers, gen eral manager of the Milk Producers Association, were sent to all dairy men in Connecticut bo invite them to meeting in the rooms of the Hart ford Chamber of Commerce at 10 s30 a. m September 15, for the purpose of discussing fully the feasibility of such state cooperative association and of taking whatever action may seem best.

A MILD WINTER
So Says Weather Bureau Official
 Publication

Don't buy coal too heavily this winterw is the unofficial advice of government weather sharks who have been studying New York tempera- lures.
 Dr. Charles F. Brooks, editor of the Weather Review, official publi- cation of the Weather Bureau, an nounces after due investigation that the chances are six to one that next winter will be mild one for New Workers. Here his diagram.
 Eight times during the last. fifty years the average winter tempera- ture Of New York city has been more than degrees below normal.
 Last winter was one of the eight "hard winters"
 Six times out of the other seven the temperature of the next succeed ing winter has been above normal at least 4 degrees warmer than the cold winter preceding.
 And this, according to strictly un- scien, hc calculations, means that the chances are excellent for warmer temperatures next December. JaEu- ary and February.

NEW YORK WOMAN DE-
 LIGHTED WITH CANAAN
Writes in Words of Highest Praise Regarding Its
 Beauties

The following letter to Clarence H. White and the students of the photography school was given to the News for publication. From it one will learn how a. New York woman was impressed with the natural beauty of the town.
 'If I were to speak the language of my heart at the close of a sum- mer at Canaan, Conn.-made pos sible by the location here of the White Summer School of Photogra- phy-my enthusiasm would burst into song, and the words of my song would be;
 70, happy day, refuse to go,
 Hang in the heavens forever sop
 ''I cannot speak for the students not being one of them-gathered here from Maine to California to learn how to see, what to see, and when to see the ever present picture in the landscape, and how to make it live by a process which only the elect may understand; but I can appreci- ate MT. Whites wisdom in locating his school at Canaan in this old pion- ger state of Connecticut.
 "A famous writer has said; 'It is the ripeness of a country which gives the landscape its charm: the charm of repose of long and con- tinued and loving care of soil, and hedge, and tree, and vine. Instinc- lively we feel that men have put their vitality into these meadows and lawns and gently sloping hills for so many generations that something humanizing has passed into the earth and made it companionable."
 "Instinctively we "love the ripe beauty of the trees and the rich life of the garden and the old, well-built houses-so old that we feel all the roots of life were planted in them.
 "There is a race memory as we'll as an individual memory, and the country in which a race has lived, whose fields it has titled and whose cities it has built can never be quite unfamiliar to the children of it's mak- ing"
 Hence, a deep feeling of kinship takes possession of me because Con- necticut was once the home of my forbears for seven consecutive gen. eratfons, therefore itsis3thut-i com ing here feel that have come back to the old home.
 Unto this world, so unlike and yet so akin to our own," MT. White gathers his students year by year, and presides with a friendly eye, a kindly sympathy and a very critical and intelligent camera: and his pie lures betray at all points that love of his field and of his subject which is the prime characteristic of a success fl artist of rural landscape and country folk"
 Appreciatively,
 Mrs. Mary E. Hervey.

FIVE COUNTY TEAMS
 GOLF CONTEST
Norfolk Gains Temporary Possession of Eldridge
 Cup

An interesting golf tournament held on the links of the Norfolk Downs Golf club was concluded Labor day when five county teams Winsted, Litchfeld, Washington, Salisbury, and Norfolk-contend for the Eldridge cup. The Norfolk team was victorious, gaining tenn porary possession of the trophy, on which Litchfield also has a leg. Rev. Dr. John Calvin Goddard of Sails bury was selected to present the prize and as usual his remarks created great interest. He spoke as follows:
 Friends, golfers, countrymen Lend me your ears, for wish to nib lick a few remarks out of the rough into your auricular holes. I apollo gize for seeming to take the honor from his honor, Almet the First, who has handed down many a decision from this bench, that has never been reversed; but I also am a man set under authority, and when the lady of these demesnes saith to one, Go, he goeth, and to thy servant Do this, he doeth it. Accordingly am one up, and am ready to drive off. Fore
 'I congratulate you all on being disciples of the royal and ancient game, and devotees of the mystic shrine, the cup with flag in it. It is a pastime symbolic of the game of life itself. When Hamlet exclaimed Aye, there's the rub,' he had ref erence to that dubiety known as the rub of the green. When King Dav- i'd cried, My foot standeth in an even place. he was exulting in hav- ing found a good stance. At first blush it must seem as if golf contra dicted all our principles. The man of piety looks up, the golfer relig- iously looks down. The average man sighs when he is in the hole, the golfer in like circumstances chortles in his joy. But golf is a means of grace, a developer of character; it leads to the surmount- ing of hazards and to the survival of the Attest. There is lure to it pass golf widow would testify.
 "The Norfolk downs has a fascin- ation of it's own; one of the earliest in the state, it is also one of the most friendly, most engaging and most popular of all. It has delightful le- gsnds in it's history, such as the one

MICHAEL E. MCCORMICK
 DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
WeII-Known Young Man Sur. vived by a Host of
 Friends

After practically lifelong fight with disease, Michael Edward McCor- mick passed away Saturday evening, 1 September 4, at the home of his par ents in this village.
 He was born in Canaan, April 6, 1889, and all his life was spent here, but seldom going away from home. He attended the public schools of Canaan, and early went to work on his own account, always serving faithfully in every capcity where he found employment.
 When less than twelve years of age severe attack of scarlet fever left him with a throat trouble, from which he was never to recover, but he maintained a cheerful courage all the years, keeping up with his work, with never a complaint, even though suffering severely at times.
 Three years ago, in company with Clifford c. Babb, he bought the lunch car business of O. P. Gillette, for whom he had worked for the past few years. On the entry of MT. Babb into the army; Michael contin- ued in partnership with MT. Gillette until early in the present year, when failing health required that he give up indoor work,
 During the years in the lunch car he had made host of friends, par ticularly among the railroad men, who ptronized his place of business, and they with his friends in town ad- mired the patient courage with which he kept at hs work in spite of his failing health.
 Two weeks ago he was obliged to give up and take to his bed; all that loving care and medical skill could do was for him, but he gradually succumbed to the disease which he had so bravely fought all his life.
 He is survived by his parents, four sisters, Mrs. John Egan of Hartford, Mrs. P. J. Kane, Mrs. T. H. Beaupre, and Miss Elizabeth McCor- mick of Canaan, one brother, James W. Mccormick of Winsted and two nephews, Tracy H. Beaupre Jr., and John J. Kane of Canaan.
 Funeral services were held Tues day morning at St. Joseph's church, Rev. Fr. Joseph Barry celebrating solemn high mass. The church was filled with relatives and friends not only from town, but from Hartford, Waterbury, Meriden, Wallingford, Millerton and Sheffield. The floral tributes were many. Burial was in the family plot in St. Joseph's ceme- tery.

EAST CANAAN LOSES
Fast Sessions Team Too Much for
 East Canaan

East Canaan lost a loosely played game to the Sessions nine of Fer restville at the local grounds on Labor Day. The game started off with all the indications of a we'll matched contest, but the visitors gathered in three runs in the third inning, after which time there was 40 doubt as to the outcome. "Jim" Casey's long drive in the third SCOT ing R. Minacci was the feature of the East Canaan work.
 Uhrig, Murphy and McMahon played lifeless game for East Ca naan, resulting in errors and wild throws. Tracy, former Dartmouth captain, pitched for the visitors, al- lowing but seven scattered hits, while Sawin who performed on the mound for East Canaan, allowed nine hits.

Several weeks ago, when for the first time in many months orders were received at the station to accept men for ser vice in Germany, so many applica- tions were received that vacancies were filled within the remarkably short period of two weeks. This week the Hartford recruiting sta tion received orders to accept 927 men for immediate service in Ger many, and a few hours later two men enlisted with the understanding that they would be sent to Germany. <The men were Frederick Wagner and Harry P.

ANNUAL CANVASSS FOR
 NURSING ASSOCIATION
Drive to Raise Budget Will
 Be Made Saturday, ...a....... Sept. II

The time has come once more for the people of North Canaan to pro- vide for the maintenance, during another year, of the work of the Visiting Nurse Association. This Association has won recognized place in the life of our Community for with a record of several years of increasingly valuable work on the part of the nurse in it's employ, we have all come to accept it as one Of our established institutions.
 It goes without saying that the employment of a visiting nurse, in district like our own, has come to be recognized as one of the conspicuous tests of progressive community.
 We could i'll afford to be deprived of work such as hers in connection with our schools, where her vigilance has already prevented many case of serious illness, and where her practical methods have impressed the lessons of hygiene and sanitation upon the minds of our children.
 Private nurses will be hard to get at any price this winter and sooner than we know, perhaps ours may be the home where real emergency finds our community nurse the very one to save the situation.
 There is no doubt that the people of North Canaan will provide gener- ously for the support of this work as they have done heretofore, but they need to know that nurses along with plumbers and locomotive engineers come higher than they once did. We must provide for an increase in sal- ary for our nurse, and also provide suitable office where she may be consulted; need which has been very definitely felt during the last year. This will mean an increase of about one third in the total of our budget, and will bring that total close to $2,OO0. ... . This appeal needs no apology, all ought to be interested in the work, let us make the support of it con- munity wide. H
 Canvassers will call upon you next Saturday. Show them that you are back of this enterprise by kindly greeting and by your best subscrip- tion.
 A receipt, which is also a ,certifi- cate of membership in the associa- tion will be issued to each subscriber.
