RED MEN EAT CLANS
Large Gathering At Annual Outing
 Last Sunday

Wappaquasset Tribe of Red Men Of this city held it's second annual clam bake and outing at Phillips grove, Alexander's lake, last Sunday. In cluding squaws and pappooses, 1t Is estimated that 500 were present. The public was invited and many availed themselves of the opportunity to get a real shore dinner near home. Web ster, Millbury, Oxford and South bridge were represented in the large gathering.
 There was baseball gans between Putnam and Webster tribes. which Putnam chiefs won. Then came the big dinner in charge of Charles Ken. nedy assisted by Mr. Whipple of Dan ielson It included chowder, clans lobster, fish and many side dishes Everyone was allowed to eat as mucf as possible, and notwithstanding there were some good appetites, there was plenty and to spare.
 There was a foot race for tn, squaws This was won by Mrs. Ivai Brooks of Putnam A consolation

 The body is dependant upon q strong. vigorous will, and the mind on physical fitness. Theatrical people and moving picture people are well supplied with will power. They ai- ways say:
 @oh, we never get sick, we haven't the time"
 The state of mind affects the phy- sicue of individuals and the face al- ways sympathizes with the thoughts and reflects them. It has been proven acain and again that under any ex- c,ten,ent or emotion there is much natural action and reaction between the heart and the brain Fear, worry jealousy and anger play upon the con stitution. Love, joy, hope and con tentnent raise the health tone. MoV- inq pjctures have demonstrated, per hans more than anything else, how the expression of the countenanee re- veals the thoughts and intentions more than do words.
 Real beauty means real health. Ii takes hard work, sometimes, to get real health and to keep health one must pay the price by sacriilcine many pleasures and dainties.

Boyne. II was the most wonderful 18th in years You may know some thing of the tyranny of Sim Fein. and the terrible crimes which have been committed throughout Ireland. We are sorry our country is in such a state. Right near where l live they have attempted to blow up the police barracks, and policemen and govern ment officials are shot without a mo- ment's warning. Because of these conditions our Orangemen turned out stronger than ever before The Or ange oxder has reported an increase of 30,000 membership. q am sending the editor a paper with Sir Edward Car sons speechl l wish all who don't understand the cause of the Irish trou- bic might read it. Sir Edward Carson is our great Unionist leader
 There Is much ! would like to tell you about How the Sim Feiners make their raids. It is mostly all done at night 4 number of masked men. sometimes numbering as high as two or three hundred. attack a harrack where there are six or more OF some times less, police. If possible they take possession of the houses that sur round the barrack, then begin to fire O. insert explosives in the walls. The police usually put up good fight In one case lately. seven constables and a sergeant fought a good crowd of them. They fled, and each constable was promoted to sergeant. and the sergeant to head constable. The raid CTS wear masks and usually have mo- tor cars or motor bicycles, then can easily make their escape and are sel- dom caught at all. Some have been caught; they either were freed or went on hunger strike and then got released, I think no place in the north has experienced such trouble as they have in Londonderry, where they have had severe riots for some length of time. Some friends of mine in the Salvation Army have had narrow escapes, but in all the south ern countries they have dreadful times, and in the west they have great cattle drives where they gather all the cattle in the country and drive them for miles and will not allow the own CTS to claim them, even put up threat ening notices as to what will happen if the cattle are brought back. This is very little in comparison with what happens, for every paper we lift has accounts of crimes and murders. However, l will write no more now. 1 will be pleased to write again at a later date. Good wishes and good luck.
 Yours sincerely,

 Dear Patty Putnam:
 It is now nearly fourteen months since l left your city where had the pleasure of living for five years. of ten think of the kindness of the Put nam people. In no part of America did I receive more kindness and good will than in Putnam. l have received the Putnam Patriot every week since. therefore l have been kept well in formed of the changes that have talk en place during the last year. I mo- tice there have been good many deaths. besides other changes.
 You may remember how much l suffered from rheumatism while I lived in Putnam. and how I was handi- capped in the Salvation Army work for almost two years. l came home very bad. About a month after l landed 1 heard of an herbist who could cure rheumatism. l went to see him ,and he assured me he could cure me. Tt almost seemed too good to be true" Anyhow gave him a
 
 say feel real well again. At present l have given up both treatments and medicine. can cycle many miles and get around fine, and the pain is gone. have been at home most all the time since living on farm about mile from the town. Farming pays well now. Potatoes were f12 a ton this spring. Flax also is very high. My people raise large amounts of both. It might interest some who never saw flax to know little about it. About August 1st they begin to pull it Git may be nearly three feet high1. It has to be all pulled by hand. No maehin- cry has yet been invented to pull flax. Then it Is put into water for about ten days. It's then taken out, spread out to dry and after few more days lift ed and tied up in bundles, taken then to the mill and scutched. The farm CTS then dispose of 1t and 1t Is sent to the linen mills where they make the linen. During the war and since pric- es have been controlled, otherwise the JldS HidlkeI HAlStlt DS eNSA peteSi 0iit'ii it is, even though it is very good now.
 Owing to my health being poor, l have no intentions of returning to the States. I asked for transfer in the Salvation Army work in the British field. I have finally gotten a promise of 1t, so I expect soon to have an ap- pointment. While I was at home we commenced cottage meetings and vis- tied the sick, etc. We had some fine times. but still on a whole l haven't done much of anything.
 At present am in County Armagh. l spent the 18th of July with the Sal yation Army. You may not know much about the 12th in Putnam. 1t is the anniversary of the Battle of the

prize was given Mrs. Sadie MoriartY, who was the 10th to cross the finish line. The presentation of the prizes was made by Henry Hurdman.
 Deputy John Lehr and ex-Deputy Ferdinand DEsopo of Hartford were present and made brief addresses re garding the benefits of the order and had some complimentary things to say about Wappaquasset Tribe and about the committee that made the outing such a success.
 The outing was in charge of C. W. II. Farley, chairman; Ivan Brooks. secretary and treasurer; Allie King, Chas. Kennedy, John Ferns, E. Ellis and F. E. Cotton.

boulder just at the entrance of the den where Israel Putnam crawled in after the wolf and where hundreds have since crawled, taking their eour- age and imaginations with them.
 We are quite proud in Putnam that one of our organizations owns this property. for it Is an historic place of countrywide interest. This year an unknown but no less kind and thought ful person, has placed a new register al the den and in six weeks over 200 names had been inscribed This shows what interest there Is in this famous place Everyone Is invited to attend these exercises on Wednesday and it Nill be one more thing to tell about Israel Putnam to be handed down to cur ehildren's children.
 Every week more enthusiasm is shown by the ladies in the events planned for them at the Country Club. Last Friday there were a good num- Der of entries for the clock golf and the prize. two handkerchiefs, was won by Mrs S D. Fisher.

 great reduction sale of shoes and it will certainly pay you to see them be fore buying elsewhere.
 There are lovely ribbon sport hats.
 Now is an excellent time to buy sports hats. Shapes in these are very much the same year after year, their interest lying chiefly in the materials and trimmings Early in the season it is difficult to find good looking sports hats. Now there are any number of pretty ones, so it is a good plan to buy with an eye to what will be use fui not only now but for starting the next season.
 There is almost no exgravagauce that is not perpetrated in the name of fashion. Particularly is this true of the non-essential accessory like the parasol. fan, hand bag, glove. veil and jewelry,
 4 very pleasing fish club sandwich was served the other day at a little tearoom famed for is original ideas. Two slices of bread cut three-eighths of an inch thick were toasted on one side only and the untoasted side spread with anchovy paste, which think could be omitted if desired, just using the dressing mixed with a little piece of crisp lettuce on each and placed together with tuna fish moistened with cream and a thin slice of tomato. Crisp, curly bacon garnished the triangular sandwiches.
 Of particular interest to the ladies l is the drastic reduction sale that Dia- mond's store Is having. They are obliged to clear out their summer stock to make room for the new fall goods which even now are beginning to arrive daily.

Tatfeta has certainly been q favor ite material for dresses q long time and even when other materials are a trifle more in the lead tafeta is never out of style. It is always money well invested to get dress of this mater iaf, especially when you can get one at the price of some now being sold at the Peoples Store for $22.50. They have them in black, navy and copen, prettily beaded, all this seasons styles. Another thing l want to mention they are selling Is black peau de cygne, very special at $250 a yard.

Persons walking or riding on Broad way recently have seen motion picture cameranen at all hours of the day snapping pictures in front of theatres and have wondered what the new pie ture would be named. The secret is out ''The Broadway Bubble" win be the name of it, and Corrine Griffith will be the star.
 The home caterer should remember that when it seems too hot to eat, a tempting cold dish and particularly a frozen dessert appeals to the slug gish appetite as nothing else will. A very delicious salad is made with gin ger ale, and the strange flavor is hard to identify when used in this fashion. It is much liked, however, and blends very we'll with fruit Dissolve one- half package of gelatine in little cold water (about one-fourth of a cupful) and pour it over one cupful of boiling water. Strain and add two cupsful of ginger ale, one cupful of sugar, the
 uice of one lemon and one orange and two tablespoonful of pineapple juice if convenient. Add one eupful of ber- ries, one-half cupful of pitted oxheart cherries and one-fourth of cupful of chopped blanched almonds. Place in molds and chill.

Now for Priseilla's letter She writes
 It is true. Youth and Beauty are both now classified. labeled, priced and sold just like ribbons or'any other commodity.
 Beauty, like any other article of value. must be paid for accordingly. The price is high and is never reduced because Nature is going out of busi- ness or recuperating after a fire. Beauty must be paid for in actual ef- fort. self-sacrifice, determination and will power. Rules and principles of hy- giene must be observed.
 This is an age when everyone ac- knowIedges the importance of physical education. Schools and colleges have instituted it as science. With per- feet health comes energy and mental activity.
 Genuine beauty can be acquired only by common sense and self-disci- pline. One authority gives this re ceipt for the preservation of youth.
 "Eat moderately of substantial foods. Drink at least two quarts o1 water every day. Exercise daily keep the body clean by sun, air ana water bathing, get plenty of sleep ana
