REMODELED FACTORY. THE FOUN-
 TAIN CIGAR co. OF BETHEL GREATLY
 INCREASES ITS FACILITIES.
 The newly added to and interiorly improved plant of the Fountain Ct- gar Co.,, at Fountain place, Bethel, has tripled the cOmpany's facilities. It is 8 model factory for the purpose, em- bracing seven rooms above ground and cellar and boiler room below. The office, part of which is set aside for goods all boxed to go to the trade, is a large, light room which opens directly into the company's stock department, where thousands of pounds of choice leaf tobacco are stored, and Whe-e the stripping" is done. Adjacent to the stock room are the preparing room and the case room, both Of ample size and we'll appointed. The cellar, where is vana leaf used in "Silk Hat" cigars, is deep, cool and light. On the second floor, Immediately over the office and stock room is located the large work room with accommo dations for fifteen cigar makers. It is one of the pleas antest rooms to be found anywhere, with abundant light and good ventila- tion. Two rooms open from the work room, a ''sweat-room" filled with cases of tobacco in process of curing, and room for drying manufactured cigars. In an l. If the workroom are thousands of cigar boxes waiting their turn to be filled with ''Silk Hat, " "Seal of Connecticut, Twenty Years" and "Nox-em-All" cigars, brands famous from the Connecticut river to the Hudson, from the Massa- chusetts line te the Sound, the com pany' s present territory. An elevator through the center of the building connects both floors with the cellar and facilitates rapid transference of stock. The entire plant is to be heat ed by steam. As no tobacco is ever used by this company until it is at least two years old, there is much more leaf in stock than is usually car ried by cigar manufacturers, but this policy of quality is one that has helped build up a business that now occupies what tobacco men say is the best plan ned and best equipped cigar factory in Western Connecticut. Treasurer and General Manager William P. English is receiving many congratulations over the result of his efforts in housing the Fountain Cigar Go. in factory large enough to keep the output up to the rapidly increasing demand.

Pinkhan, of Lynn, Mass, is fully quali- f1edto give helpful advice to sick women. Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters.
 Her first letter:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham :-
 (" have been a sufferer for the past eight years with a trouble which first originated from painful menstruation-the pains were excruc1at1ng, with inflammation and ulcera, tion of the womb. The doctor says must have an operation or cannot live. do not want to submit to an operation if can possi- ply avoid It. Please help ms.""-Wrs. Mary Dimmick, Washington, D. c.

 Dear Mrs Pinkham :-
 "You will remember my condition when last wrote you, and that the doctor said must have an operation or could not lve I received your kind letter and followed your advice very carefully and am now entirely well. As my case was 70 serious tt seems . miracle that am cured know that owe not only my health but my life to Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your advice.

Did A World of
 Good.
MADE A HAPPY TAN OUT OF A MOST WRETCHED DYSPEPTIC.

THE TONIC TREATMENT CURED MIR
 MILLER OF STOMACH DISORDER,
 HEART PAINS, DIZZY SPELLS. WEAK
 NESS.
 Easy to get, hard to get rid of: that is what most sufferers think of dyS- pepsia. They are astonished when their stomach begins to trouble them seriously. They can't think of any adequate cause. Everything was go- ing all right, when suddenly it began to go all wrong.
 They had been eating hurriedly and irregulariy for long time, to be sure, but they supposed their stomach quite used to that. Why should it give out all at once and make them restless and sleepless and faint and dizzy?
 The situation is simply this. They have used up the strength of their stomach just as man may use up his capital in the bank. Everything Igoes on just the same until the money is all gone; then, suddenly, he is in trouble if he does not know how to find more cash right away.
 Some people know that the strength which the weak stomach needs, and for the lack of which the whole body is suffering, can be found surely and quickly in Dr Williams Pink Pills, a preparation known in medical circles as the greatest blood and nerve tonic.
 My indigestion, said Mir Miller, "came in the first place from the fact that, a few years ago, 1 worked a great deal at night, and ate at any odd hour whenever the chance came, and always very hurriedly. One day l found myself a victim of terrible dyS- pepsia. It Iept me miserable all the time for several years. Sometimes the doctors medicines would help me for little while, but they were never able to conquer my ailments"
 What was your chief trouble?"
 "I always had great deal of distress after eating, and when got up from my sleep my stomach would be so weak that it would hardly take any food. l had very uncomfortable feelings about my heart, and was dizzy and, when ever stopped over and then straight ened up, my eyes would be badly blurr- ed."
 When the doctor failed to cure you, what did you do?"
 "I looked around to find a remedy that had actually cured somebody else, and l was lucky enough to stumble on the statements of several persons who had got rid of obstinate stomach trou- bles by using pr Williams Pink Pills. bought some and they did me world of good. They acted promptly and did just what was claimed for them"
 Have they rid you of your ail- ments?"
 "I have no more distress after meals: the bad feeling has gone from the re- zion of my heart: the alarming dizzy spells have disappeared, and I am strong again. take the pills occasion ally yet as a tonic, and am always ready to give them the highest praise.''
 The home of MT J. R. Miller is at Dayton, Va. Dr Williams Pink Pills can be obtained at any drug store. They can be used with safety for any length of time as they contain no harmful drugs. A diet book of great value to dyspeptics can be had free by to the pr Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.
