THE FARMER: MAY 1, 1909 Why Mr, Archer Threw Away His Crutches Boyhood's Memories Last Life-Long Now, at 28, Strong and Hearty Because of Good Blood. "Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1909. "C. Xi Hood Co., Lowell, Mass. "Gentlemen : "The memory of what Hood's Bar&aparilla did for me when I was a boy wOl go with me all through life. I suffered from hip disease for eight years, having three run ning sores on my hip. Every win ter I was confined to my bed for six or seven weeks at a time. This trouble began when I was six years of age. and my parents did an they could to help me. They tried at least a dozen different physicians, but none of them did me any good. In fact I grew worse all the time, and was com plied to walk on crutches. Then I commenced taking Hood's Sar aparUla. It was soon evident "Hood's SarsapariUa effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it contains Barsaparllla, but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened and enriched by this peculiar combination. These ingre dients) are the very remedies that successful physicians prescribe for the same diseases and ailments. There Is no real scbst : t lit for Hood's SarsapariUa. If urged to buy any preparation saUl t; be "just as good," yon may be sure It Is inferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit. i taking Hood's SarsapariUa farm or rn chocolated tablets known SOCIAL At the celebration of the 25th an niversary of the organization of Sea side club, last night. Judge A.B. Beers in responding to a toast, at the con clusion of the banquet which was giv en, dwelt for sometime upon the fact that the club is the only one of its age, size and importance that was started and has always continued upon sl cold water basis. The most famous other club that attempted the same program lasted, he said, but 40 days end foundered on a rock. The dinrar was served by Steward William Crowley and was enjoyed by some 200 persons. Jerome May's Banjo orchestra furnished music. One of the treats of the evening was a speech by Dr. George L. Porter, who reviewed the history of the club. President T S. Willett was toastmaster and of ficiated pleasantly. Frank Miller, in a conversational way. described the origin of the club. He said it started in Nathaniel Wheeler's barn and was really a horse club. He told some in teresting anecdotes of gentlemen who owned horses, who used to exaggerate the speed and other capacities of their steeds. David F. Read spoke Interest ingly and briefly. Hie talk had to do especially with the charter members. Henry Parrot t and Judge William H Kelsey also spoke, the latter reviewing some financial history. He said that when the club left Its quarters on Main street it had S12.000. The site of the present club was purchased. By the care and economy of the earlier members the organization has attained its present importance and financial well being. Mrs. Jessie Bryant Gerard of South Norwalk gave an interesting talk on "Forestry." yesterday afternoon, be fore the Authors' Club, which was en tertained by Mrs. Frederick V. RhoaJes at her home, 1815 Noble avenue. Mrs. Gerard had maps, charts' and dia grams with which she illustrated her remarks.

THEY CHOOSE THE NEAT DRESSER The Fellow in a Custom Tailored Suit that Fits Gets the Call. There are a great many people in the world saving a few dollars on a suit by buying it ready made and los ing ten fold the amount in satisfac tion. A man that buys ready made clothes never feels sure of them al though he has been told so by the merchant who sold them to him. There's always that feeling "Well, they weren't made to my measure and I'm afraid they don't fit me." In fre quent cases his surmise is hitting the nail squarely on. the head and even if the clothes may possibly fit he hasn't that feeling of surety about them that makes him at ease when he's wearing them. With good custom tailored clothes the kind that Wheale makes at 1042 Main street, you're always sure of the apeparance. quality and fit. Made from the best materials, shrunk by Wheale's exclusive method so they will not shrink after you put them on, and built on principles that can have but one result perfect fit Wheale made clothing are the acme of perfection. If you are buying ready made clothes you can't imagine the satisfaction and contentment you're missing as regards wearing apparel. Have a tailor all your own don't let a stranger in a big factory where they turn clothing out like pins or tin pails make your clothes have Wheale do it for you. The cost is not heavy and you're sure of the style, fit and be comingness of the suit he makes for you. Clothing stamps its wearer al ways. They can say all they want to that "clothes don't make the man," but you reader, take notice when there's a line-up of young men look ing for a vacant position, the employ er chooses the well dressed fellow not the loudly dressed one but the one in a neat appearing and well fit ting suit. Good Clothes are an asset to anyone. WANT ADS. CENT A WORD. E. H. DILLON &C0.S LEADING We make a specialty of Small Hats, Toques and Bon nets for middle-aged and elderly ladies.

That perennial favorite, "The Old Homestead", will be the offering for this evening, and the theatre should be filled to repletion to welcome this annual visit of the most wonderful success of all stage offerings. For the past 23 years "The Old Home stead", and for 14 years prior to that, its progenitor, "Joshua Whitcomb", have been amusing and delighting au diences the country over. There is not, in all the big United States, a town or city of any size, which has not repeatedly seen and welcomed the appearances of this grp.nd old New England play, and today it is as strong a favorite and as welcome a visitor as during the first years of its triumphs. The presentation this evening will have all the advantages of the original production, a cast of rare excellence having been personally selected by Mr. Thompson for the proper presentation of the play. It Is the same cast with which Mr. Thompson himself appears when the Tlay visits New York, and he would appear with it here were it not for his advanced age. Another beautiful set of those splen did animated pictures and illustrated songs will be provided for Monday afternoon and evening, and there is little question that they will be fully as enjoyable as any - which preceded them. Everyone knows how finely these splendid pictures are shown at Smith's; it is the only place in the city where the pictures can be shown in a proper manner, and where they can be really enjoyed. The same liberal hours, and) the same little prices as before will prevail. Next Tuesday evening the American humorist, Fred Niblo, will present "Russia, from the Black Sea. to Si beria", another of his delightfully en tertaining series of zig-zag- journeys around the world. Those who have had the pleasure of accompanying Mr. Niblo on his personally conducted pic torial pilgrimages during the past few weeks will welcome the announcement that Russia is considered- by Mr. nidio to be the most intensely Interesting "travel talk" In the entire series, of fering as it does the strongest appeal in a pictorial way, as well as in the subject matter accompanying the II- , us.trated features There will be hun dreds of colored views, absolutely orig inal flashlight, snapshot and pano ramic photographs, liberally interspers jPOU'S Last two performances this after noon and tonight of Carter DeHaven and Flora Parker, the elite headliner at Poli's, and a corking supporting bill.

Mr. Walter Smith of White Plains, is visiting Mr. Royal Smith. Mr. Henry Roland, after spending a couple of weeks in town, looking over the extensive improvement which have been made in the grounds about his residence, has returned to New York. There are those who fear the season at the beach may not be as good this year as last, especially at the portion known as Little Danbury. Usually be fore this time of the year many own ers of cottages who live in that city, come to town to look over their prop erty, and hfave it put in order for the season.

Tn this vitally important zig-zag journey from the Black Sea to Siberia, some of the more notable features include a tour from Warsaw to St. Petersburg, a Iourney of striking interest, replete with wei-d contrasts and amazing conditions graphically portrayed in pictures and descriptive comment, showing Warsaw, the City of Constant Terror; street scenes and character studies within the gruesmeGhetto; high life and low life in palatial prosperity and pitiful poverty: then St. Petersburg, through the labyrinth of "beautiful boulevards and- the mystic maze of criss-cross side streets, everywhere the misery of tne poverty stricken horde contrasted with the prosperity of the prodigal no bility. Signor Luigi Cilia. the principal tenor of the Imperial Grand Opera Company, which will be heard here Wednesday and Thursday next, in "Cavalleria Rusticana", "II Trovatore' and "Pagliacci", possesses a. lyric voice of most pleasing quality. He made his debut at del Verme in Milan, and was afterwards engaged to sing the principal tenor roles at the Grand Opera in St. Petersburg. He went to South America two years ago and sang under the direction of L. Man cinelli at Buenos Ayres. Signor Cilia was engaged afterwards by Mr. Ham merstein for the Manhattan Opera House.

Not so, how ever, with the big show, the only one which is ever produced with any de gree of success by local talent.

The act is not a freak and Charmion is not billed as a "strong woman," so-called. Genuine novelty will be found to be the chief asset of the act. Charmion is expected to be the season s sensation here next week. ' In the supporting bill next week will appear the Oilivotti Troubadours, the famous Spanish musicians and Castil ian serenaders, in operatic selections; Klsie Harvey, the popular singing and dancing comedienne, and her "boys"; Carter Waters & Co., offering a cork ing one-act comedy, entitled "Excess Baggage"; Muller, Chunn and Muller, famous hoop rollers; JemCngs and Renfrew, the snappy black face team who write their own songs; Myers and the strike of the hatters has had a good deal to do with this condition of affairs. Besides it is recognized that money is tight, and so long as the tariff ciscussion continues, many peo ple feel poor. On the other hand there have been a large number of inquiries for rents In town for the summer. The demand is for a cheap place. Un fortunately there are no rents to be had unless some of the cottages should be thrown into the market, which now looks possible.

FOUR OFFICERS MUST STAND INVESTIGATION Police Board Will Inquire Into Conduct of Two Spe cials and Two Regular Patrolmen. Resolution Adopted TJndei Which Officers HI 15 Days WiU Not Be Entitled to Vacation Except by Spe cial Vote Special She quin Resigns. It was a busy night with the pollc commissioners, last night, when they took up charges against twjry special and two regular patrolmen. Allison H. Sanford and Frank Loperci, specials, are charged with obtruding themselves upon a dance given by the St. Joseph's Sick Benefit society, in Ciglar's Hall, about a month ago. It is alleged that they wore citizen's clothes, with their police badges pinned on outside, and that they demanded S3 each in default of which they promised to stop the festivity. Lieut. Redgate Investigated the complaint and found It well found ed. The charges against Patrolmen Alpheus C. Goulden and John Flahav- , en grow out of the assault upon Michael Kbsa, who was kicked, bo that he died, by the aged merchant, Henry Beisel. The charges were preferred by Commissioner Coughlin, who said that the policemen were in a neighboring candy etore when the assault occurred, that no report of the matter had ever been made to the department by the men. and that the arrest of BelfieT should have followed upon speedy in formation. Flahaven asserts that he investigated anj told the boy that his father should secure a warrant for the arrest of Beisel. The charges will be heard at the next mating of the board.
