SYDNEY k. MORRALL ACCIDENT. ALLY KILLS HIMSELF WHILE
 HUNTING, r

The many friends of Sydney R. Morrall are tlndlns difficulty III en-
 deavoring to reconcile his absence from his customary pursuits. The genial smile and ready remarks no longer greet the visitor to the Smith & Cooley offices, To all his friends, and particularly to those most nearly associated with him, regret comes that a career so promising was not allowed to assume a rightful course and gain in the community a place so justly earned by character so finely shaped in young manhood. Being a dover of the out-of-doors, on last Saturday afternoon, in company with Donald Eaton, he began one of his customary tours of the woods. Skis were part of their equipment and each. carried a gun. They started up over the hill at the south end of Highland Terrace, and on reaching the brow, decided to leave their skis and descend to the River road below. Donald was near but looking in another direction when he heard Sydney's gun go of. He rushed to him as he was tottering, but was unable to hold him up. Hur- riedIy loosing his friends garments he saw what he believed to be fatal wound, and that he was apparent ly dead. He hurried home for assist ance. Medical examiner Dr. G. P. Bard gave as his opinion that Sydney probably slipped and accidently dis charged his gun. The charge passed through the left arm and entered the body just above the heart.
 Sydney Morrall was g years old. He passed his boyhood days here while his father, Rev. William Morrall was pastor of Grace church. He went with his mother to Norwich where he attended the Norwich Free academy. When 16 years old he entered Annap- oils Naval academy. About three months after leaving Annapolis he joined the Emergency Fleet at Phila- delphia under Admiral Bowles. He returned to Stafford to make his home here with his mother about two years ago and has, been employed, at the Smith & Cooley Company since that time. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Margaret Morrall, sister, Mrs. B. P. Cooley and a brother, Theodore W. Morrall, of Hartford. Funeral ser vices were held in Grace church on Tuesday afternoon and the floral tributes were unusually beautiful and numerous. A large attendance testi- fled to his popularity. The officiating clergymen were Rev. Niles w. Heer- mans and Rev. J. Eldred Brown, of Norwich, archdeacon of New London, friend of the family. The choir rem dered T heard the Voice of Jesus Say" with solo by Mrs. l.. G. Luce and Peace, Perfect Peace' The bearers were c. B. Brown, c. R.. Newton, George Lane, Ronald Mitchell, Leo Garvais and Joel Henry Reed. The body was placed in the tomb of the Stafford Springs cemetery awaiting the coming of Spring when it will be placed in the family lot with his father and brother.

THE HIGH COST OF
SHOES GETS WALLOP

Ten cents to twenty-five cents a
pair is enough profit for any maker OF
work shoes" said Geo. r. Harsh, head
of the Harsh & Chapline Shoe Co.. of
Milwaukee, makers of the famous Lion
Brand Work Shoes for men and Lion
Brand Everyday Shoes for boys.
For 10 years we have been trying to
make the best work shoes in the cOun-
try. To do this we even had to put
up our own tannery, buy the hides and
do our own tanning, as we could find
no leather in the open market good
enough TO go into Lion Brand Shoes.
THAT we have come close to success
is evidenced by the sale of more than
100000 pairs through thousands Of
stores. Last year alone the shoe buy
ing public bought more than $6,OOO,OOO
worth.
"Lion Brand Shoes are so popular
we could probably go right on doing
business through the stores. But l
believe there should be fewer profits
between the producer and user" con-
tinued Mr.. Harsh.
by selling direct to the wearer we
cut out the profit of the tanner, jObber
and Storekeeper, as well as the sales
mans expense, and are able to save
the buyer of Lion Brand Work Shoes
from one dollar to three dollars a pair.
For example, our No. rs Brown Blu
cher. with hard toe cap, made of Lion
Brand Leather (our own tannage) in
regular sizes, to IL, is now being
sold by mail on receipt of money order,
draft or buyers own check at $3.35.
This shoe formerly sold through the
stores as high as $3.50.
ut took lot of courage to change
our selling policy, but we believe the
buying public is ready for the change
and that our action in stepping over the
middleman TO the user will be followed
by other large manufacturers of many
other well known quality products.
Our catalog No. is now ready for
distribution from the factory, Hanover
and Maple Streets, Milwaukee, Wis
consin. Shoes shipped within "a hours
of receipt of Order."-Adv.

HOW DOCTORS

and The FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the

Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infu'
enza can be depended upon for full ef-
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less colonel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects Of the old style calo-
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
Of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that g
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas,
IRE or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded if you do not find them

REACH AGREEMENT
ON PREPARATIONS
MEETING ADJOURNED IN COM.
PLETE HARMONY ON ALL
QUESTIONS.
TO PAY 226 BILLION MARKS
Germany's Exports Will Bear An Elk
port Duty of Twelve Per Cent
Germany Is Advised of
the Decision.

Paris.-Full agreement on reparas
tons, German disarmament and all
other important questions before 1t
was reached by the Supreme Council
OF the allies when it adjourned to meet
again in London, February II.
The greatest result obtained was,
NJ. BRAND, the French premier, said,
maintenance by the allies OF front
as united in making peace as it was
in waging war" Count Sforza, the
Italian foreign minister, and NJ Bri-
and said the conference had resulted
to the satisfaction of everybody con-
cerned.
A protocol was signed approving
the reparations scheme as agreed by
the special committee appointed ia
consider the subject and also the re.
port on tn disarmament Of Germany
as presented by the military commit
tee. Under these arrangements Ger
many must disarm by July l, disband-
ing all her civic guards not provided
for in the Versailles treaty.
Germany will be called up to pay
AZ annuities on a sliding scale 1885,
0O0,O00,000 gold marks. Her exports
will, in addition, bear an export duty
of II per cent that will go to the al
lies. On the basis of last years ex-
ports this would give the allies 1885,
100000 gold marks, or IL per cent of
whatever money in. which the exports
are paid for. Thus, it is estimated, the
first payment made by Germany will
be $3.50, 100000 gold marks, the ex-
port tax being paid entirely in cash.
1t is said that besides being sure
method Of collection Of the repara-
tions, 1t will act as protective tariff
in countries that are neighbors of
Germany, which are likely to be food
ed with goods made IN Germany at a
very low cost of production, because
of the relatively low value of the
mark, and which consequently can be
offered in foreign markets at very
low prices in foreign money.
The penalties agreed upon by the
council for violations by Germany will
apply to all the agreements aIike-re-
parations, disarmament and coal de-
1iveries. A strong feature Of the re-
parations plan from the French point
of view is that it associates the allies
in the benefits of Germany's pros
perity.
According to the terms of the ar
rangement the annuities and export
taxes are payable semi-annua1ly. Dis
count for advance payments will be s
per cent for the first two years.
per cent third and fourth years and s
per cent thereafter. Germany is for
hidden to establish foreign credits
without the approval of the Repara-
lions Commission.
The Supreme Councils decision was
communicated to Germany.

 T know that there are scientists who claim that more than four hours sleep is waste. They cite the case of Thor as Ellison, and other brilliant men whc have lived long and useful lives with only three or four hours If sleep each night. But for the average person, engaged in only every day pursuits, to make rule for themselves from the habits of such men is ridiculous and suicidal Ma ture has provided constructive nights to balan-e destructive days, and the rebuilding is accomplished during sleep.
