A Continual Strain.

Many men and women are con-
stantly subjected to what they
commonly term Ga continual
strain" because of some financial
or family trouble. 1t wears and
distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves
badly and bringing on liver and
kidney ailments, with the attendant
evils of constipation, loss of appc-
tite, sleeplessness, low vitality and
dependency. They cannot, as a
rule, get rid of this continual
strain" but they can remedy its
health destroying effects by taking
frequent doses of Green's August
Flower. 1t tones up the liver,
stimulates the kidneys, insures
healthy bodily functions, gives vim
and spirit to ones whole being,
and eventually dispcls the physic-
al or menta' distress caused by

NEW CASHIER CHOSEN
FOR THE NATIONAL TRADES
 HENS B.8NK.

Frederick c. Burroughs, Bridgeport
 Man, Selected for the Position-was
 Cashier and Director of a Bridge
 port Bank.
 At meeting of the directors of the National Tradesmens bank. of this city, yesterday morning. Frederick c. Bur roughs, cashier of the City National bank, of Bridgeport. was elected to i'll the same position in the Tradesmens bank, to succeed the late Howard w. Thompson, whose death occurred about two weeks ago. Mr. Burroughs will as- sume the duties of his new office on De- cember l.
 MT. Burroughs was chosen, said President William T. Fields, as all the men eligible for the position in New Haven were So well placed at present that none was willing to make a change, while of the young men in the Tradesmens bank, all were trifie too young to shoulder the responsibility of the office, though doing excellent work and in line for promotion in due time. 1 The directors felt that they required a man of maturity and experience. The I business of the bank has grown to such proportions as to require it. MT. Burroughs come from one of Bridgeport's oldest families, was born in that city in 1867, and received his education there in public and private I schools. He has for many years been prominently connected with the busi- ness life of that city and is a member of the board of trade and of the Bus l mess Mems association of that city. He entered the City National bank there in 1881 as the youngest clerk and errand boy and has been connected with that I institution ever since, later as book keeper, receiving teller and paying tell CT, which last position he held until 1897, when he was appointed a cashier and soon afterward was elected di- rector.
