Professor Munyon says he believes tainly he seems to have found one for dyspepsia and most stomach troubles. The strong Endorsements received and the. wonderful cures that are being made prove beyond doubt that at last nature has revealed the secret which she has kept so long from man.
 Thousands and thousands of years this Paw Paw fruit has grown in pleni- tude all over India and South America. Generations have come and generations have gone without man discovering the value of this fruit. Thousands and thou sands of lives could have been saved had man known it's medicinal qualities.
 Like electricity it has always been with us, but it took an Edison to har- ness electricity and make it light the world.
 So it took a Munyon to discover tho virtues of Paw Paw and give to the world positive cure for most stomach Ind nerve troubles.
 Professor Munyon says people should not overeat or Overdrink just because Paw Paw enables them to digest every thing that is put into the stomach. He says you must not overwork the stom- ach, but give it a rest the same as you do any other part of the body, and it will make you good, rich blood. strength cn and feed your nerves and prolong your life.-

WHY NOT ORGANIZE A VIEWPOINT
 HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION?
THEBEE CORDIALLY SECONDS MIR JOHN
 SONS SUGGESTION.

With the contributions of the next few weeks, of selections from old doc uments, withdraw from the field for the present. Perhaps some other one will take up the work and contribute along the same line. It is a misfortune that of the many who could have fur nished much information of our town history, so few of the native residents are now left with whom we can talk of the times of long ago. Why not, even at this late day, form Newtown Historical Association, having for its object the gathering of facts of town history to be put in form to hand down as a legacy to our children and children's children and the genera tions who will be here to usher in the year 2OOO, that is not, even now, so very for away? Next year will be the 2OOth anniversary of the purchase of the township from the Indians. It is not too early, even now, to begin to plan for an observance of that event, and what better time could be taken for an "Old Home Week." in connec- tion with the same.

TOWN TOPICS

 PHONE EXCHANGE
LOCATED IN NEWTOWN.-REPR TATIvE OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TELEPHONE co. IN TOWN TO INVESTIGATE.

There is a prospect that Newtown may have a Central telephone %ex- change located here, if the citizens take hold of the matter in an energet- ic manner. Maurice H. Nutting, an affable representative of the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, was in town, Saturday, and went over the question with number of local citi- zens. To put in Central" here the company wish to get 75 subscribers. In Washington, Litchtield county, a smaller town than Newtown in popu- lation, a "Central" was established and over 200 families and places Of business are now connected. The ad- vantage of the telephone to the farm CT and business man cannot be over estimated, and THE BEE hopes the representatives of the Southern New England will meet with success in their canvas. In the event of a "Cen- tral" being established here Botsford, and the people living in Huntingtown, Palestine, Taunton, Sandy Hook and Zoar would be connected with this di' vision.

EDITORIAL. INK DROPS.

The annual report of Hon H. O. Averill, commissioner on domestic an- imals for the state of Connecticut, is just out from the press of The Bee Publishing Go. It is an interesting and valuable document and should be in the hands of every dairyman in the state of Connecticut. Speaking of tuberculosis Gen Averill says: 'The bovine race is as susceptible to favora- ble or unfavorable hygenic conditions as the human. Sunshine and pure air are germicides of a very high power. It has been demonstrated that the germs of tuberculosis will retain their power to do harm only short time if exposed to the direct rays of the sun. Reflected or diffused light will also de- stroy the germs, only it takes longer. Is it not highly probable then that the healthfulness of a stable and it's inmates is determined in very large degree by the amount of-sunlight that is admitted? We believe it is. If COWS are kept in warm barns during the night it would hardly tend to pro- mote their comfort and health or to increase their flow of milk to keep them out of doors during winter weather with nothing to do but drink ice water and shake with the cold" Speaking of the work done the last year Commissioner Averill says: "For the year ending September 30, 1898, T head of cattle were condemned by the commissioner. During the year just ended 2e2, or almost four times as many, were ordered destroyed by the commissioner for the public good This very large per centage of increase in the number condemned in the short period of six years would very natural ly convey to the public the impression that bovine tuberculosis is rapidly in' creasing in the dairy herds in this state, and that the present law is ac complaining little or nothing in the way of checking it's rayages and stamping it out. However natural this supposition may be it is the opin ion of the commissioner that it is CT roneous and misleading. The yearly increasing number of calls received by the commissioner to examine suspic' ious cases of bovine tuberculosis, is an indication that cattle owners are com ing to realize more and more that the disease is contagious and that one an imal in herd having the disease in an advanced form endangers the health and well-being of it's herd mates and threatens Ito wipe out the profits of the herd. Such men are watching their herds more closely than they have in the past, and wher they notice the first suspicious symp tom of the dread disease they consider it in the light of danger signal, anc recognizing that the state is willing and anxious to aid them in eradicatine trouble, they report their cases to thi! office and ask to have their herds ex amined." Commissioner Averill is { practical, successful farmer, just tht man for the important office he occu pies. Blessed with a large share O.
 common sense he is quick to arrive al
 a sensible conclusion. He has mad, friends wherever he has gone in hi
 journeyings round the state.

There was an exciting time at the home.of Michael Honan in Taunton, last Saturday morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, when MT Honan and family awoke and found their chimney was all ablaze. The neighbors were quick ly aroused and responded promptly, and for an hour and a half had hard fight to save the house. Two bucket brigades were formed and after about an hour and half had the fire all out. Although little damage was done to the house by fire, the water made work with the ceiling and furniture.
