MRS LUCY B. FAIRCHILD.

Mrs Lucy B. Fairchild, aged S4 years, widow of the late Edward B. Fairchild, died at the St Paul's church home at 600 Chapel street, New Hav- en, last week Tuesday morning. Mrs Fairchild has been at the home since last May. She has been without the use of her eyesight for some time and that combined with her age has kept her confined to the house most of the time. Her final illness lasted about two weeks and the cause of her death was her years and apoplexy. Mrs Fair child was daughter of Ezekiel and Anna Candee Beers. She was born at Newtown in 1921, and at the age of ? l moved to New Haven. Since she has lived in New Haven she has b cen identified with St Paul's church and has been a very devoted worker. She was we'll known in the church and had a very large circle of friends. Mrs Fairchild is survived by brother, Julius Beers of Monroe, and several nephews and nieces, among the latter are Mrs Lucy Torbett, Mrs William O. Pardee, Mrs Forsythe and Miss Lena Botsford. Amos J. Beers, who died about two years ago, was her brother. The funeral took place at home, 500 Chapel street, Thursday, at 2.3O, and the funeral sermon was preached by Rev MT Perry of St Paul's.

TREATMENT AND GUARANTEE A
 CURE FOR TWENTY-FIvE CENTS.
 Betts & Betts, the popular and reli- able druggists, have made arrange ments with the Dr Ames Medicine company-whereby they can sell their wOrld-famOuS and pleasant remedy for the cure of constipation, dyspepsia and biliousness, at half price for a limited time.
 This concession means that those who now suffer all the bangs of these distressing maladies can be relieved of pain and enabled to eat anything they choose if they'll but hurry and get a supply before Betts & BettS' time runs out, for they cannot continue to sell at half price much longer.
 Dr Ames' Specific is a pleasant pei let, and unlike any other medicine for dyspepsia and constipation it is not necessary to keep up the full treat ment for 8 long time, but the dose is gradually decreased after the first few days and the cure is permanent.
 Take advantage of BettS & Betts' offer and if you do not find relief they will return the money. It's not often druggists have confidence enough in a medicine not put up by themselves to do this, but the great reputation of the Dr Ames Specific assures them that there is not half dozen cases in this vicinity that 1t will not cure per manently.
 If you belch wind, are dizzy, see specks before the eyes, have muddy complexion, or are constipated or bill ious, you cannot afford to allow this opportunity of cure to pass-the half price offer doesn't last much longer. Betts & Betts urge you to hasten. By mail, too.

BUT NONE OF HIS PATRONS WILL LOSE
 A DOLLAR THROUGH FEDERAL FAIL
 URE.
 The failure of the Federal Stock & Grain Go. of Boston, which was an- nounced last week, will cost J. Clyde Myton, the stock broker, of Danbury, S5, 300 in good clean cash, but MT My ton announced that not one of his patrons dealing with the Federal Company would lose dollar of mar gins. He will shoulder the entire loss himself. It is doubtful if the custom CTS of any other broker in the country representing the Federal company will fare as we'll as those of MT Myton and it is probable that fully 90 per cent of all the Federal's patrons will lose every dollar that they had invest ed with the company. MT Myton had had a Federal wire in his office about four years and transacted the local business of that concern in addition to his other brokerage business. The Federal had 15 or 20 local patrons and some of them had been trading heavi- ly of late. The margins returned by MT MytOn to one man since the crash amounted to about $l2OO. The Feder- al company had an account in one of the national banks of this city and it Was CuSUOludIy LOT UIleIu UO uIdW Uucll checks on that bank. On November T, however, they sent MT Myton a check for Sl, 545 on Boston bank. MT Myton deposited the check and paid the cash to his patrons. On Novem- Der 8, he received check on the Bos- ton bank for Sl, 5OO and paid out the money. It transpires that neither of these checks was of any value and MT Myton is the loser. Last week, a check for S9S5 should have been receiv- ed by MT Myton, but it failed to come and that, with margins of about $500, at present. outstanding, will bring the total to nearly $5, 500. Patrons of the ederal company in this city lost to a considerable extent few years ago when the manager of a local office which they established here, disap- peared, leaving behind him large number of unsettled accounts. .-[Dan- bury News.

ONLY MAKES A BAD MATTER
 WORSE.

Perhaps you have never thought of it but the fact must be apparent to every one that constipation is caused by a lack of water in the the system, and the use of drastic cathartics like the old fashioned pills only makes a bad matter worse. Chamberlatn's Stomach and Liver Tablets are much more mild and gentle in their effect, and when the proper dose is taken their action is so natural that one can hardly realize it is the effect of medicine. Try a 25c bottle of them. Sold by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; w. N. Hurd, Long Hill; Ernest Hawley, Hawleyville; A. B. Blakeman, Botsford; D. s. Mead, Rranchville.
