HOWE & STETSON'
VEST HAVEN LAMP QUESTION.
Citizens Vote for Municipal Ownership
Present Contract Repudiated.

Present Contract Hepudfated.
At a large meeting of the citizens Of
the borough of West Haven held in
their town hall last night it was unan-
imously voted to cancel the present
contract with Mr.. Brennan of this city
for furnishing the borough with naph-
tha lamps. This matter has been un-
der consideration for some time and the
meeting last night was an adjourned
one from Wednesday night Of the pre-
Vious week. 1t was also voted that the
powered to spend S3,500 in erecting and
equipping a lighting plant which shall
be owned and controlled by the town.
1t is the intention that work shall be
commenced Immediately so that the
plant can be in full operation at the
earliest possible moment 1t is stated
that by reason of owning and operating
their own lighting plant the town will
save about $1,000 per annum. The pres
ent contract, ii is claimed, has been
violated and hence, although it has
about year and a half yet to run, the
citizens claim that if the matter Of
breach of contract is carried into the
courts they will win the case because
of the alleged fragrant violation.
The erecting Of q plant viii not take
long as it only means the building or
securing of small building in which
the naphtha and lamps can be stored.
The principal expense is in the pur-
chase of lamps. No other business was
transacted.

Artist-Two Types of American Fiction
Timely Volumes-A Writer'S View
of His Profession.
(By HERBERT BREWSTER.)
The book and magazine publishers are
likely to be seriously delayed with their
output because of the strikes now going
on among their employees. With every
printing plant running there is not suf-
ficient means of production for the ex-
ira large numbers of books to be issued
this fall Almost every publisher is far
behind in his work-some books are en-
tirely out of print and orders for many
of these are piling up daily. Now comes
a strike among the pressmen and scores
of shops are closed. Even though the
strikers return to work in few days,
the publishers will be delayed still fur
Their, and it is not at all unlikely that
many orders for books will be untitled
for weeks to come.
In spite of minor difficulties, how
ever, the book trade has a most prom

near 20 10000 copies, Gilbert Parker's
Donovan Pasha" is being ordered
heavily. and the serial publication of

is already assured.

self-and even the most severe critic
must acknowledge that the work is we'll
done. Mr.. Rudyard Kiplin inherited not
only the ink fever from his father. but
a keenly developed sense of the artistic
in other expressions than that of letters.
The elder Kipling is we'll known as an
, artist and but for his more brilliant
, son he would probably have made a
worldwide reputation as a man of great
learning. He has marvellous memory;
he knows more about India than any
other Englishman. The editor under

of being able to quote every line in

1.-THE Story of King Arthur" by
Howard Pyle, with his own illustrations,
will begin in the November ST. Nicholas.
1t is considered by those who have read
the manuscript to contain some of Mr..
Pyle's best work. and it will be a fitting
companion to the same authors robin
Hood. 1t is not recounting of old
tales, but an entirely new series of
picturesque, romantic stories woven
about the old legend of King Arthur.
The conductors of st. Nicholas believe it
will prove the most notable work for
young readers published in the English
language during the coming year.

A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.

About Blood Purifiers" and "Tonics."
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed in
tut one way, and that is, from whole
some food properly digested. There is
no other way and the idea that a medi-
cine in itself can purify the blood or
supply new tissues and strong nerves is
ridiculous and on par with the fol-de-
rol that dyspepsia or indigestion is
germ disease or that other fallacy, that
a weak stomach which refuses to digest
food can be made to do so by irritating
and inflaming the bowels by pills and
cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi-
gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloating
after meals, because they furnish the
digestive principles which weak stomachs
lack, and unless the deficiency of pepsin
and diastaste is supplied it is useless to
attempt to cure stomach touble by the
use of 'tonics," pills" and "cathartlcs"
which have absolutely no digestive power
and their only effect is to give tenn
porary stimulation.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
1000 grains of meat, eggs and similar
foods, and experiments have shown that
they will do this in a glass bottle at
proper temperature, but of course are
much more effective in the stomach.
There is probably no remedy so uni
versally used as Stuart's Tablets because
it is not only the sick and ailing. but
we'll people who use them at every meal
to insure perfect digestion and assimila-
tion of the food.
People who enjoy fafx health take
Stuart's Tablets as regularly as they
take their meals, because they want to
keep well, prevention is better than
cure, and Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets do
both: they prevent indigestion and they
remove it where 1t exists. The regular
use of one or two of them after meals
will demonstrate their merit and eff
ficiency better than any other argument.

and they read for rest and amusement
Such a condition requires fascinating
books. books that are interesting for the
time being; it matters not whether they
have lasting value. II such readers as
these had time to think, and cared to
stir the soul with reading, they would
read books with more character, books
that would be strong and faithful COM
panions when the years are counting
quickly.
1t is often said that men are most
pleased with girls I'M the lightest vein,
because when they are out of the count
ing house" they want to be entertained.
But the majority of men have their seri-
Gus moods. Then they stop to think, and
woe to the girl in lighter vein, for seldom
does a man choose a wife merely for
amusement. He wants strong and
steady companion that will be a lasting
helper, noble, inspiring and at all times
Sympathizing.
So to those who really think and have
serious moods in literature when the
deepest and divinest depths of the soul
are touched, these light books mean
little. But such literature is supplying a
demand the outgrowth of sociological con-
ditions. So long as such books are clean
OF expression and suggestion they do lit
tie hurt. except to encourage thoughtless-
ness, which means emptiness. Although
one reads such books. and at times we all
need just such as comes from them the
good and tried books should not be neg
lected. And it strikes me that IL we ac-
custom ourselves to reading only the
best books We can find in them satisfac-
tion for all moods.

WHY so MANY NEW BOOKS?

To the Editor: Why are so many new
hooks flooding the country now? This Is
a question most every one at all inter-
ested in literature has asked nimseH.
But how many have satisfied themselves
with an explanation? There must De
some reason for the large output. which
perhaps is best explained by the cnar-
acter of the books circulated.
The only satisfactory explanation
have been able to get comes from Ario
Bates. one of the best interpreters OF
literature I have read. To my mind ne
is convincing, because he goes TO the DOT
tom of things for his argument.
1t is a fact that while there are nun
dreds of new books published every day.
very few make lasting impressions ana
are destined to live long. And still less
is the number that will bear rereading
again and again and that one cares TO lay
by for lifetime companion.
Mr.. Bates saws that the character OF
the books is encouraged by the nature
of the wants of the reading public. Peo-
pie have become so engrossed with busi-
ness affairs and Industrial problems
giving so nearly the whole mind to these
things-that they have little inclination
to anything outside that requires thought,
