HEAD STUFFED UP
BY CATARRH? USE
A HEALING CREAM
T"f your nostrils arc clogged, your
throatw distressed, or your head is
stuffed by nasty catarrh or a cold,
apply a little pure, antiseptic, germ
destroying cream into your nostrils.
It penetrates through every air pas
sage, soothing inflamed, swollen
membranes and you get instant re
lief. How good it feels. Tour nostrils
are open. Your head is clear. No
more hawking, snuffling, dryness or
struggling for breath. Oet a small
bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from any
druggist. Cold and catarrh yield like"
magic. Don't stay stuffed up. Re
lief is sure. Adv.

ELABORATE PLANS
MADE FOR THE
CRITERION BALL
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the annual Criterion club
ball which is to be held in the ball
room of the Stratfleld hotel on Friday
evening, April 1st.
Two splendid orchestras, one being
Rapp of New Haven and the other
Banjo "Wallace of New York, will
furnish continuous dance music for
the occasion, until the wee sma' hours
of the morning. At mid-night a sup
per will be served in the dining room.
"Walter Allen, president of the club,
Is chairman of the committee in
rharge assisted by several sub-committees
who are looking after the
decorations and program of dances.
This affair promises to be one of
the most brilliant of the season and
will be largely attended.
President Wilson's war message
was delivered before the joint session
of Congress on the night of April 2,
1917. It contained the following
dramatic utterances:
I have called the Congress into ex
traordinary session because there are
serious, very serious choices of policy
to be made immediately, which it was
neither right nor constitutionally per
missible that I should assume the re
sponsibility of making.
With a profound sense of the
solemn and even tragical character of
the step I am taking and of the grave
resoonsihilit itis which it invnlvps lint
! in unhesitating" nhodipuro t tn-h a f T
deem my constitutional duty, I ad
vise that Congress declare the recent
course df the Imperial German gov
ernment to be in fact nothing less
than war against the government and
people of the Stated States; that it
formally accepts the status of belli
gerents which has thus been thrust
upon it and that it take immediate
steps not only to put the country in
a more thorough state of defense, but
also to exert all its power and em
ploy all its resources to bring the
government of the German Empire
to terms and end the war.
The world must be made safe for
democracy. Its pace must be planted
upon the trusted foundations of poli
tical liberty.
We have no selfish ends to serve.
We desire no conquest, no dominion.
We seek no indemnities for ourselves,
no material compensation for the
sacrifices we shall freely make. We
are but one of the champions of the
rights of mankind. We shall be sat
isfied when those rights have been as
secure as the faith and freedom of the
nations can make them.
It will be all the easier for us to
conduct ourselves as belligerents in
a high spirit of right and fairness be
cause we act without animus, not in
enmity towards a people or with de
sire to bring any injury or disadvan
tage upon them, but only in armed
opposition to an irresponsible gov
ernment which has thrown aside all
consideration of humanity and of
right and is running amuck.
To such a task we can dedicate our
lives and our fortunes, everything
that we are and everything that we
have, with the pride of those who
know that the day has come when
nation is privileged to spend her
blood and her money for the prln
ciples that gave her birth and happi
ness and the peace which she has
treasured. God helping her, she can
do no other.

Ability to stand the strain of work is
the privilege of the strong and healthy,
but now our hearts ache for the weak
and sickly women struggling with their
daily rounds of household duties, with
backaches, headaches, nervousness and
almost every movement brings a new
pain. Why will not the mass of letters
from women all over this country, which
we have been publishing, convince such
women that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound will help them just as
surely as it did Mrs. Corley ?
If the proposed bill that will prac
tically kill the jitney is put through
residents of various outlying sections
of Stratford will form snow shoe
clubs so that they may have a chance
of getting to work next winter when
the snow comes and the trolley goes
not on the rails.

squadron was composed almost in its
entirety of adventurous American
aviators who volunteered for the ha
zardous service after the signing of
the Armistice.
Colonel Fauntleroy's lecture here
will be given under the auspices of
the European Relief Council, of which
Herbert Hoover is chairman, and
whose ministrations in stricken Pol
and have salvaged the lives of mil
lions of th country's undernourished
children. The famine situation in
Poland, the Colonel said yesterday,
is more acute than in moat of the
other war ravaged countries in Cen
tral and Eastern Europe because the
retiring Belsheviks last summer laid
waste' the fields that had been de
mended upon for the winter's food
supply, drove off the cattle and
horses of the peasants and dismantled
manufacturing plants as they withdrew.
Col. Fauntleroy came to the United
9tates on leave of absence from the
Polish Army last Fall after the clutch
of winter had made it impossible f ti
the Lenine ttroops to renew the offens
ive against the beleaguered country.
During the winter he has lectured in
moat of the principle cities of this
country.
"I am returning to Poland In the
near future to be on hand when the
spring campaign opens," the Colonel
said last nighrt. "Although there
have been repeated rumors that
peace between Poland and Russia is
about o be concluded there are evi
dences that the Polish Army will be
called upon aigain this year to stand
as the bulwark against Bolshevik en
croachments upon Europe. It is not
improbable that there will be more
fighting."

"My trouble commenced on the
side of my face in little blisters with
a red surface. It gradually
spread and the itching and
burning were very severe.
My face was disfigured for
a while and my rest was
terribly upset from the
misery.
"I tried different reme
dies but got no help until I heard of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and
after using them for a month I was
healed." (Signed) Mrs. J.M.Boutell,

LECTURER, TO SPEAK
AT TOTTED FORUM
The American Legion basketball
team came back into its own Thursday
night and walloped the Lakes for the
second time this season. This time
the game wasn't even close, the score
being 37 to 17. A good crowd was
on hand, but if they expected a real
battle to the finish they were disap
pointed. However, there was some
excitement, and it was gratifying to
see the legion come back, for the
team was more or less weakened by
the withdrawal of Flood, following
his injuries in the high school fire.

Dublin. An intensive campaign of
publicity to convince the people of
the south of Ireland that it would be
to their advantage to accept the new
Home Rule act will be launched
shortly.
Opposition to the measure, centering
in the south, is believed in official
circles to be due largely to ignorance
of the powers conferred by i'ts provis
ions. Sir Hamar Greenwood, the
Chief Secretary, is said to be de
termined that everyone, the length
and breaTth of the island shall have
ful opportunity to study the law.
Thousands of copies of the act have
been printed for gratuitous circulation
T.he country will be flooded with these
circulars accompanied by a memor
andum explaining !the effect of the
measure. Particular efforts will be
made to see that the publicity
reaches persons in position to influ
ence public opinion. Copies will be
mailed to school teachers, priests and
others prominent in community life.
Bt is planned to make the campaign
an effective weapon directly aimed at
the Sinn Fein movement.
No important section of Irish opin
ion has shown any willingness thus
far to regard the act as even a basis
for peace negotiations with the Brit
ish officials.
All Southern parties object to par
tition and, while . willing to accord
separate treatment to Northeast Ul
ster, object to a separate and equal
parliament for that section. The
Northeast Ulster men are equally de
termined itt their position and declare
they will oppose such extension of
the powers of Southern Ireland as
would enable it to set up a tariff
against either England or . Ulster.
The publicity campaign is expected
by the British authorities to clear up
many of the sectional differences by
giving the people a tnorougn explan
ation of the exact powers and re
quirements for which the act pro
vides.
Dr. J. Fort Newton will speak at
the United Church Community Forum
Sunday evening, March 6, at 7:30
o'clock. His subject will be "Sec

famous City Temple in London where
he served for about three years. He
is also a lecturer and author.

Texas, and was educated in the insti
tutions of the South. He was a grad
uate of the Southern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary. In 1893, he was or
dained a Baptist minister and became
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Pans, Illinois, atter which he served
as associate pastor of the Ntm -Sectarian
Church in St. Louis. Then he
founded the People's church tn Dixon,
Illinois, later accepting a call to the
Liberal Christian Church of Cedar
Rapids, la. From there he went to
London.

of these active churches, he is non
resident lecturer of the State Univer
sity of Iowa, and associate editor of
