One of the most pleasing productions seen here in some time, was "The Sor- ceress," a play in three acts in French, given by the Dollard des Ormeaux Cir cle, of Worcester, Mass, in the Parish hall, Sunday afternoon and evening, under the auspices of Fire Company No. 2. The hall was crowded for both per formances, and a neat sum will be add ed to the Fire companys fund, with which they are building a new fire house.
 The time of the play was laid in the year 1912 in France, when Honor and Ladies was the code of the day, and knights were quick to draw the sword It the least pTovocation. The costumes used by the players were gorgeous and represented an outlay Of several thous- and dollars. The electrical effects were lavish, and added greatly to the success of the performance. Special scenery was used in all three acts.
 Miss Bertha Lindsay as Lorenza Mo riani the oorceress, was one of the lead- ing characters of the play. Her cun- ming and intrigue to entangle the Duke Of CrandIieu, furnished the main plot of the production The audience was kept interested from the time the cur tain rose, the whole performances moved rapidly, and gruesome scenes of the headsman and his axe, were followed by genuine comedy.
 The heavy roles were assumed by Romeo G. LeBlance, as ChevaIier Judael Robiano, a genius of crime, and Jo- scph Bineau, as Rinaldi, Robiano's henchman. Both these actors played their parts to advantage. Comedy was added by Philippe Gelinas, as Totor (Nestor) Chignassou, known as Brise- mouche. At times he demanded the en- tire attention of the audience.
 The cast was as follows: Lorenza Moriani. the Sorceress, Miss Bertha Lindsay; Marquis Diane de Grandlieu Miss Flora Lemoine; Gabrielle, daugh- ter of the Marquise, Miss Beatrice Nal boeuf; Mannette Chignassou, a servant Mrs. Claudia Laplante; the Duke of Grandlieu, Eugene Paquin Chevaiier Judael Robiano, Romeo c.

TUBERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS SEAL
 SALE SPREADS HAPPINESS

Over 180O new cases of tuberculosis were reported by Connecticut physi- clans during 1921, and during the year many of these cases have been reached by nurses supported by the sale of Christmas seals Through this means, many tuberculosis patients have been advised where they can obtain proper recovery, thereby making Christmas a happier event than would have been the case without advice,
 In 1922 there were 9z6 deaths from tuberculosis of the lungs from January 1st to September 30th, which indicates a probable decrease in deaths this year as compared with past years. This shows that even though the population of the state is increasing, tuberculosis is not increasing. in other words tuber- culosis can be, and is. preventable. -
 This gratifying decline has been due in part to the work of health offici als, local and state, and the many voiuin- teer agencies, particularly the National Tuberculosis Association with it's state and local branches. Through the sale of Christmas Seals,' the local tuberculo- sis associations have received sufficient and by proper treatment-those per-
 
 In Connecticut, this important cam paign is directed by the state tlIbercu- losis commission. The early diagnosis and proper medical care of tubercuio- sis cases will soon further diminish the incidence of the disease. It is interest 1 ing to note that cases in the state are being diagnosed earlier in the course ot the disease, as is evidenced by the cases reported compared with the mark. l ed decline in deaths since 1918. Tuber- | cu1osis associations, by the funds SC. cured through the sale of Christina, 1 seals, furnish nurses, and advice b1 competent physicians. which has con, l tributed to considerable degree in the reduction of the incidence of tubercu ] losis, particularly in preventing thu 1 spread of infection to other members O ! families of patients.
 A great number of tuberculosis > pa 1 tients are financially unable to secur. 1 proper advice or treatment. The tu berculosts seal sale will help these peo pie. The more tuberculosis patients properly advised and treated, decrease l your chances of being exposed to '.th white plague The key to tuberculosi 1 prevention in the home lies in the edu cational and prevenCiye measures car ried out, by the patients in following tA 1 advice from physicians and the pub,i health or tuberculosis nurse.

The booths are laid out on either side of the wide midway, six rows running the length of the armory, three wide aisles affording plenty of space for the visitors to examine the many articles to be exhibited
