 A herd of five deer were seen Tues day afternoon by Miss Elizabeth Me Climon of Preston She and some girl friends were at a neighbours house and went to a barn. that was situated about 200 yards from the house. While there the deer. came right up to the barn and the children kept quiet and had a very good look at them, but as soon as any noise was made it frightened the deer and they scampered off into the woods They were evidently looking for food and very hungry to come so close to house, for the nature of them is very timid.
 It is evidently very hard for them tc get food as the snow has covered ev- erything that is green. Also on Tues day afternoon one deer was seen bS some boys in the Shetucket woods, but a. dog chased it away and only glimpse of it could be got. It started off toward 7fohegan park and went across the Cat pond.

 RoRARAck. IS TO BLAME

Miss Katherine Ludington of Lyme, president of the Connecticut Wo- mems Suffrage association, who has just returned from the national as sociation convention in Chicago, said that, although the ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. m, now seems assured without the aid Of Connecticut, the Connecticut asso- ciation will not abandon the attempt to bring Connecticut in as one of the necessary thlrty-six states.
 Miss Ludington said: "AS long as there is a chance that our state can redeem it's reputation in the country and get in as one of the thirty six states which will have the honor Of making ratification of the federal amendment complete, the Connecti- cut Suffrage association will speed up work rather than slaeken down.
 Referring to the failure of the re- publican state central committee to act upon the petition presented to it
 by members of the mems republican ratification committee at the meeting held February II, Miss Ludington said: Tt is becoming daily clearer just who is responsible for the hu- initiating position in which our state
 is placed. The failure of the repub- hcan state central committee to act upon the pellllOH or 4fo HdIueS Ol prominent republicans throughout the state asking that a special ses- sion should be called, shows very
 plainly where that responsibility should pest We know who are our friends and who are opposing, us and we lay the failure of Connecticut to act at the door of the chairman of the republican state central commit tee"
 A meeting of the executive board of the association will be held at suffrage headquarters in Hartford on | Friday of this week to consider fur 1 ther plans for the work
 T have nothing to say regarding
 Miss Ludington's statement" said J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the re- publican state central committee
 When asked if the state central com mittee would hold a meeting before i the state convention, Mir Roraback | replied that it might although he did

SALTS IS FINE FOR
 KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
 hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by fiust- ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts. or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore 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 genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladded disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

 2 t-2 FEET OF SNOW FELL

Tn reference to the near blizzard the first week of the present month, there has been many different state ments in regard to the depth of snow that fell; some reported one foot, where others have reported fifteen or more inches.

RECALLS WAR TIMES IN
 TOWN OF LISBON

In the column ''As the. World Wags,' which is run in the Boston Herald, a writer from Wellesley who signs him self G. A. R. contributes letter which has much local interest to our neigh boring town of Lisbon.
 The letter is headed Amos the Cop perhead" and is as follows:
 1, In answer to Col. Marshall Tredd- The morning after Abe" Lincoln was shot a man named Amos Griswold Ga Copperhead) came to our house-ws were living at the old homestead farm in Lisbon, Ct.-to get a hot-air stove my father had sold him.
 Griswold came in to get the stove from the sitting room. He was very much excited and was rejoicing over the fact that the president was shot. l remember his saying that "Old Abe was shot last night, and he ought to have been shot four years ago. As he said these words he stopped over to pick up the stove. A dog we had at the time, excited at the noise and con fusion, grabbed. Griswold by the calf of the leg and would not let go. My mother, who was in the room, said :: I'm glad the dog bit you
 My father took Griswold by the col lar and the seat of the trousers. pi1sh- ing himF into the kitchen, and would have thrown him out of doors, but the door was shut at that moment, and Griswold's head came in contact with the panels and he fell to the floor. 1 was trying to hold the dog q was 10 years old), but could not do so. an6 he jumped on Griswold's back, and ir seemed for second or two as if he would tear the clothes off of the man. h0d before, and my mother was a perfec- gentlewoman.
 Griswold threatened all manner O dire things that would happen to m, l father and the whole family. My fa, | ther told him that if he showed hi, l face in our house again or came on tn, farm he would set the dog on him 1 think this little scene put nor, | patriotism into me than all othe things combined that have happened
 in my life.
 I can see that dog on Griswold now and have wished when President Gar l field and President Mckinley wer.
 shot that some dog could bite the as l sassin.

SAGE TEA pARKENs
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE Don't stay grayl Here's a simple recipe that anybody can apply
 with a hair brush

The use of Sage and SssAlahur for re- storing faded. gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's time She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth' s Sage and Sulphur Compound you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other in gradients, which can be depended up- pn to restore natural color and beauty to the hair v,
 A, wen-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobobdy can tell it has been applied You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two,- it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
