last evening saw a peddlors wagon break IN
rather an unusual manner The wagon was
heavily loaded with, iron and other articles,

Fire District Voters Listened 10 Report
For rect Lighting.

The voters OF the Phenix fire district held
special meeting in the fire station last even
ing for the purpose of receiving the report Of
the eommitte which was appointed at the last
meeting TO devise some means for the econo-
mic lighting of the streets Of the district.
Long before the time set for opening the
meeting every seat IN the hall was taken. The
meeting was called 10 order promptly Mt
o'clock and the report Of the committee was
read by Robert Reoch. The report was quite
len gthy document and IL was evident that the
committee had spent considerable time IN its
Investigations. The committee had decided
that electricity was the only satisfactory and
ecouomial means Of lighting the streets. Mr..
Reoch then spoke OF the plan which had been
proposed of the district installing plant of
its own, and dorided the idea, saying that
such a scheme would never prove successful
until the tidal power Of Apponaug bay could
be utilized to run the lights. Mr.. Reoch said
that the committee had received an offer
from Providence electrician TO furnish the
lights, but tho district would have 10 build
the pole line and furnish place for the en-
gine and dynamos, and this scheme was not
considered feasible on account OF tho ex-
pense. The new and economical schome
which the committee recommended was the
lighting Of the streets by the company, sub
stituting larger number OF lights Of 25-can-
dl1 power for the arc lights which were
formerly in use, the candle power of which
was never the same for two consecutive hours.
If they were burning at all, retaining only "a
few of the arces IN the main street in tho
busineess portion Of tho district. The esti-
mated cost Of this system would be- few
dollars less tnan tine old one, and 10 was ex
pected 10 give much better satisfaction TO the
taxpayers. This scheme was not received
with overwhelming enthusiasm by the tax
payers, especially as the company wanted "a
ive-year contract and did not seem any more
inclined 10 accommodate the public in regard
10 the running of the Washington cars, and
after accepting the report and dischargng the
committee the meeting adjourned and the
voters gathered in groups on the streets and
discussed the probable outcome of the meet
ing this evening. when some definite measures
will be taken. There is strong feeling in
the Coventry end Of the fire district against
making any contract with the Peoples Eli
son Illuminating & Power Company so long
n they refuse 10 extend the Washington car
service to Fiskville and it is probable that n
vigorous kick will be made against any pro-
position Of that kind at the meeting this even
ing.

THE OLD WAY.

OF Treating Dyspepsia and Tndig stion by
Dieting "a Barbarous and Useless one.
We say tie old way. but really it is q
very common one at present timo and
many dyspeptics abu physicians rs we'll
consider the first step To take In attempt
ing to cure indigestion is TO diet, either
by selecting certain foods ana rejecting
Others or 10 greatly diminish the quantity
usually taken, I'm other words the starva-
tion plan Is by many supposed To be the
first essential.
The almost certain failure OF tho star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again. but still the moment
Dyspepsia makes its appearance course
OF dieting Is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong IL is fool
ish and unscientiflc to recommend diUtiug
or starvation 20 iunn suffering from
Dyspepsia. because Indigestion itself
starves every organ and every nerve and
every iibre in the body.
What the Dyspeuio wants Is abundant
nutrition. which means plenty OF good.
wholesome, well-cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to
digest It, This IL exactly tho uurpoSo
for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
thoy cure the worst cases uf Dyspepsia. in
other words the patient eats plenty or
wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets digest 10 for him. In this way
the system Is nOurished and the over
worked stomach rested. because the tab
let's will digest tho foou whether the
stomach works or not. Ono oi these tab
lets will digest 30UO grains OF meat or
