 During the progress of the fair at Rockville two young men from that town dritted Into the Hurley store. James Hurley, knowing they were from Rock ville, said to ono of them, "How Is 1t you arc not attending the fair over to your town tO-dayp" The man addressed saId, "oh, we don't care to go over there. We had rather walt and take in the Stafford fair" There are many others who walt for the Stafford fair, and 1t Is worth wait ing for.
 A successful fair must have a variety of features, as the tastes of people dIfYer so widely. A feature of tho Stafford Springs fair that attracts many people each year Is the horse trottIng.

The racing program this year Is Q liberal one, and includes running events as we'll as the trOtting and pacing races. The first day there will be running race, mile heats. and the 2.50 class. The second day there will be running race for purse of S1OO, e free-tor-all for q purse of $500, and a 2.4O class for purse Of 9250. Thurs day. the last day, there will be the 2.32 and 225 classes, each for e25O purse. Entries for the races close Sept. 30.
 The platform attractions for this year arc numerous. This feature of the local fair is Of importance, and an effort Is made to get the best talent possible. During the waits between the heats of the races the crowd likes to be amused, and the management have been careful this year to arrange Q program that can not fail to please.
 The list of special attractions include Joseph c. Latoy, emperor of clogs and silence and fun artist; Nellie Leonard, flying trapeze artist Billy. Mary and Daisy Golden, comedy sketch artIsts {; Harry Roncoe, tho trick cyolist, called tho boy wonder; The California Trio, the Chinaman, the German soldier, the Irish policeman; the Gotham City Quar- tetto, vocal comedians; Mahan Brothers, troup of trained PAttAgonlan dogs; bal loon ascensions and parachute drops, etc.

Dig down to tho cause of your sickness, h you want to get we'll and stay we'll. Most likely It's indigestion. The irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by Indigestion, cause head ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness, stomach-ache, nausea, irrltability, and all the other wall-known symptoms of in- digestion. They also cause many pains and dlsordars which are often laid to oth- all theso symptoms and disorders dlsap- pear, because there is nothing left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because 1t prevents the undigested food from fer menting in tho stomach and helps the stomach to digest It's food.
