THE DEATH OF
 REVJ.H. CARROLL
Pastor of Holy Trinity Church at WaIIingford
 for B Years
THE FUNERAL SATURDAY

Rev John H. Carroll. for thirty two years pastor of the Holy Trim ity Roman Catholic church in Wal ingford, and one of the senior priests of the Hartford diocese. died yesterday afternoon in the parish rectory of that city. He was 77 years of age and had been in failing health for several years.
 A pontifical high mass will be celebrated Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in the Holy Trinity church. Burial will be in St Lawrence cem- etery in New Haven. Many local priests will be numbered among the many in attendance at the mass.
 Father Carroll was born in New Haven, one of family of eight, on February 15, 1885. A graduate of St Mary's school in that city, he prepared for the priesthood at St Charles college in Ellicott City, Md, and completed his theologi- cal studies at St Mary's of St Sul- pice in Baltimore.
 Upon being ordained he returned to his native parish of St Mary's in New Haven. and soon afterward was transferred to St Joseph's Cathedral in Hartford. He also served as curate at St Patrick's church in New Haven and in the Middletown parish before assigned his first pastorate in Westport.
 He was made pastor of Holy Trin- ity church, Wallingford, in 1890 and his clerical work added immeasur- ably to his parish in both material and spiritual ways. With an un- tiring devotion to detail he put the parish on a sound financial basis and set aside enough to en- able it to build the parochial school. Three years ago Father Carroll celebrated his golden jubi- lee on the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.
 Father Carroll was man of wide knowledge and rich imagina- tion. He had decided views on all subjects and stated them when occasion required in most definite and unequivocal fashion.
 He travelled extensively. While at Westport, he, with 26 other priests, took cruise of several months in the Mediterranean, vis- iting Italy. Egypt and the Holy Land. Later, after coming to Wal ingford, he voyaged westward, visiting Hawaii.
 In 1908. Father Carroll was elected director of the Dime Saw ings bank, and was q vice. -presi- dent of the mutual savings insti- tuition in Wallingford.
 He leaves a sister. Sister M. An gela, of Portsmouth, N. H., and a brother. Henry Carroll of New York city.

To End aC0ugh
 In a Hurry, Mix
 This at Home

To quickly end stubborn coughs due to colds, 1t is important to soothe the infamed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system in wardly to help throw off the trouble.
 For these purposes, here is n home made medicine, far better than anything you could buy at 8 times the cost. From any druggist, get 21 ounces of Pinex: Pour this into pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strain cd honey to fill up the pint. This takes but q moment, saves money, and makes a remedy 50 effective that you will never do without, once you have used It.. Keeps perfectly, and children like 1t.
 This simple remedy does three neces' sary things. First, it loosens the germ laden phlcgm. Second, it soothcs away the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why it brings such quick relief, even in the obstinate coughs which follow cold opidemics.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in refined, palatable form, and known as one or the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex: It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

CHEST COLDS BROKEN UP PAIN
 RELIEVED QUICKLY

The same wonderful power that Baume Bengue (called Ben-Gay in Englsh) has to sink down deep into the skin and bring such instant comfort and relief to the pains of head ache, backache. rheumatism, neuralgia and ne,ritis, acts so quickly to break up cheat colds, that they often loosen up overnight
 ,At the first sign of tightncss, pain and con. gcStton. rub Ben-Gay freely into tho chest, baoE and throat and cover with hannel. At once, you will begin to breathe easily as Bcn- Gays penetrating fumes and heat begin to break up the dangerous tightness. The pain and congestion begin to go quickly and in the morning, you should feel great relief. Bcn-Gay causes no distress or burning, for 1t contains no turpentine, chloroform or ether and is gen. tie to the skin.
 But don't Dc absent-minded and just ask your druggist for something for chest cold", or for something to relieve .pain". Ask him for Ben-Gay by name. Look for the name Baume Bengue on the package (called Ben. Gay in Enslish). Refuse the unfair offer of be too weak to do any good when you rub it in. Ask for Ben-Gay by name and got it.
