It is expected that this move will prove successful, in which event it will not be long before electric operation will be extended to New Haven. There seems little doubt that, operated by electricity, the ser vice will be more satisfactory in effi- cheney, convenience and cleanliness, and it is expected that some economics of operation may be effected,

THE ADKINS FIND

It will lbe of interest to the readers of the Journal and Courier to know that the fund for the blind man, Mir, Adkins, Is steadily growing. MT, Bas- sett reported last evening that upon opening his mail he was gratified to find several checks from different sources, most of the senders signing themselves from a friend" The amount received up to date is a little over $108, which speaks well for the charitable people of the city. Over $50 has been sent in since Saturday morn- ing, and no doubt the amount will con tinue to grow for some time to come. All contributions sent or left at the Gun Store, No. Church street, will be thankfully received and justly ap- piled to this fund. Let the good work go on.

LENTEN DIET
A Food More Powerful Than Meat.
Opening Bible reading. Prayer-Dr. Sheath.

A devout Catholic lady of Washing ton, anxious to comply with the re- quirements of the church as to diet during Lent and not suffer from insult fcient food, says:
 "A Lent approached last year I found myself in such a rundown condition that I seriously hesitated upon the ad- visibility of abstaining from flesh food, attending early services, etc, during the penitential season.
 ''I was very nervous and suffering from 8 severe mental shock, and felt that I needed all the strengthening properties that my usual large meat breakfasts and hot lunches could give me. And yet was anxious to keep an exemplary Lent, not only in spiritual sense but by also practicing self-de- nial
 After thinking it over concluded to try Grape-Nuts food in place of meat, determined, however, that at the first symptom of increased weakness or dis tress I would drop it and go back to my old diet. I began on Ash Wednesday to use Grape-Nuts instead of my pre-Len- ten meat breakfasts. I ate the food dry, followed by a cup of cocoa or glass of milk. For luncheon I again took Grape Nuts, but this time in the form of a pudding, boiled or baked. My din- ner was of the usual character.
 "To my great joy l found had solv- ed the problem. In three weeks l real ized that 1 was not only holding my own, but gaining in the power of en- during fatigue and worry, and at the close of Lent I had gained ten pounds in weight, had a clearer eye and color, better appetite and digestion than for many months before.
 My vigor, both physical and mental, has been pronounced ever since. l feel the nervous strain much less, my duties no longer worry me, because I am able to systematize them as only one with a thoroughly rested and vigorous brain can, so that they are more quickly per- formed, giving me more time for rest, reading and recreation" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

GIFT TO VAN BUREN.

New Haven Newspaper Men Presented
 Evidence of Esteem to Associate.
 The active workers in the New Ha- ven newspaper fraternity at meeting Saturday night after having previously enticed William H. Van Buren, late general manager of the New Haven theater into their company, presented him with a purse of gold coin, with the request that he purchase with the mon ey some memento which would tend to hold the newspaper men of the city in kindly remembrance.
 Mir Van Buren has resigned his con- nection with the theater after having been for twenty years in it's employ. He is to go to New York. The testimonial of regard given him Saturday evening, he said, would be especially treasured by him, because it showed that he took the heartfelt good wishes of his New Haven newspaper acquaintances with him to his new field.
 Dorscht lodge and some of the gentle men theatrical friends have already presented MT. Van Buren with a gold watch chain and Ellls charm as tok- CT. of their regard and their regret upon his severing his relations with the New Haven theater.

4 nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of mysteries, is unfit to care for children; it ruins child's disposi- tion and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly.
 The ills of women act like a frebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, ner- vous despondency, "the blues," sleep lessness, and, nervous durability of women arise from some Arrangement of the female organism.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying2
 Do you feel something like ball ris- ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound l; pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost continually cross and snappy?
 If so, your nerves are in shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostra- tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's vege- table Compound; thousands and thou sands of women can testify to this fact. Ask Hrs. PiRkham's AdyICs-A Ksm

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN.
What if a Maa Gain the Whole World,
 and Lose His Appetite9

The man with a well-behaved stomach never thinks about 1t. He eats what he likes and likes what he eats. He knows he'll enjoy it, because he knows he has a stomach that will easily di- gest it. All things look good to him; he will sit close to the table, and with a merry twinkle in his eye and world- peace expression, he will" start" on the delicious meal before him.
 But the man with the bad, brasfay, gurgly stomach is the man who is al- ways thinking about it. He can seldom eat what he most likes, and seldom likes what he eats. His stomach wor- ries him before meals, after meals and between meals. It is on his brain. It robs him of his cheer and interferes with his daily work. Around him is a dark spirit which presses itself forward in his thoughts, crying: T am agony, I am disgust, I am nausea am sick ness, languor, worry. lam conceived in quick lunches and pappy food, and nourished gy gulpy Weals. I rob brains of their force and bodies of their life. I steal away nerve and vim. I bring heart disease and appoplexy. I make the world pit of weariness and dark ness. am woe, I am deatGa I am dyspepsia. But yet, I bring also hope, light and future health, because by my gloomy presence I give you warning and chance to escape me-"
 This is a bad dream, but 1t is the daily dream of the dyspeptic. If 1t were not for dyspepsia, we couldn't know the joy, the happiness of a we'll ordered digestion. All the world looks bright to man of good health, and good health is impossible without a good, hardy stomach. And anysick or weak stomach can be made good, strong one. by just taking something which will digest your food for you, in stead of letting your tired stomach do it. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the most effective little tablets in the world for this very thing. If you feel bloated after eating, or you have nausea, aver- sion to food, brash, irritation, sour stomach, heartburn or dyspepsia, Stu arts Dyspepsia Tables will stop it be- cause one grain of an ingredient of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of food.
 Your stomach is overworked. Let it take a rest. You're not yourself when you have bad stomach. These tablets will do the work that tine stomach has to do and make you feel bright, think clearly and give you ambition and power to concentrate your attention on your work. You'll feel good. You should always feel good. You should

Say New Haven Road is Diverting Im-
 port Trade to Boston.
 It Is reported from the general offices of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad that commercial in terests in Philadelphia are aggrieved because portion of the valuable im- port trade of that port is being diverted to Boston by means of the New Haven, which has made a through low import rate, from Europe to destination, with its connecting line of ocean steamers and its rail service
 It is also known that other eastern roads are doing the same, to the detri- ment of the import figures of other cities on the Atlantic seaboard.
 The allegation is made that there is a combine on this class of business, and that the Pennsylvania railroad is a party to this traffic.
 This condition of affairs Is not denied, yet it is said that officers of the roads in question do not at the present time see any way to undertake a drastic remedy.
