"LEI'S SEE YOUR TONGUE. !"
The Homaeh's Frst Call for the Help that Dr.
 Rlchard's Dyspepsia Tablets Give.

Go" to a physician with any com plaint. The first thing he says is Let's see your tongue" That is the index that tells him the state of your digestion. and that means the condi- ton of your health, your vitality and your ability to respond to any treat ment, from surgical operation down.
 As a matter of fact the person whose stomach is in first-class condi- tion, able to digest the food and fur nish the nourishment necessary to keep the human machine running, is not likely to be troubled with any other complaint. On the other hand. one whose stomach is too weak to digest his food is at the mercy of any con- plaint he Is subject or may be exposed to. The presence of such symptoms as a coated tongue, impaired appetite, soreness or burning sensation In the stomach, headache, dizziness, and general feeling of weariness and slug gishness, is proof positive that the stomach needs looking after.
 In Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tablets may be found the most rational, efii- cient and pleasant remedy. They are not purgatiye in character, nor do they stimulate the stomach to unnatural and harmful action, but they do fur nish the necessary clements for the proper digestion of food, the lack of which is responsible for the agonies of dyspepsia.
 Price. 90 cents per bottle. Sold by druggists. Manufactured by Dr Rich ards's Dyspepsia Tablet Association, 8 Worth street. New York.

WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT FRIDAY MARCH g. 1906
INSURANCE MEN HELD
Three Heads of Mutual Re-
 serve Under Arrest.
LARCENY AND FORGERY THE CHARGE

'. A. burnham, President, G. D. Burns
 ham, Counsel, and G. EldridEe, Vice
 President of Great Company, | Accused by Former Omcer.
 NEW YORK, March 9.-Frederlck A. Burnham, president; George D. Burnham, counsel, and George Eld- ridge, vice president of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company, were arrested by Detective Sergeant Farley and taken before Judge O'Sul- livan here and held in $12, 800 bail each to answer indictments charging grand larceny and forgery.
 The complainant in the case Is James D. Wells, former employee of the company.
 The charges of grand larceny and forgery in the third degree, upon which the indictments were brought, grew out of transactions covering period of more than ten years, during which Frederick A. Burnham has been presi- dent of the Mutual Reserve, his broth CT George has been carried on the roll IS counsel and George D. Eldridge has been vice president. Many of the reve- lations came during the investigation of the Armstrong committee, but other evidence was developed by the exam nation of the grand jury itself.
 When the accused men were brought Into court their counsel, former Assist ant District Attorney Rand, was await ing them with District Attorney Je- rome, The indictments, five against each man, were handed to the clerk of the court who read the counts and asked, How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?'
 F. A. Burnham was about to answer when Mir. Rand said, If 1t please the court, would like to have the plead Ing of the defendants postponed until I can get a release from an engage ment which I have in the supreme court"
 Judge O'sullivan asked when this would be, and MT. Rand said he hoped to be able to get of by the middle of next week.
 The court then named next Thurs day as the day for pleading.
 The question of bail was brought up by District Attorney Jerome, who ask ed $3,0OO bond for each indictment, $15. 5.000 each. \ . . "Oh, that is certainly excessive" said Mir. Rand. The judge made the bail S2,500 on each count, or $12, 800 for the five.

 Taxes, taxes, taxesv he went on. "All I have heard tonight is about taxes until I am forced to believe that the only foreign substance which is al- lowed to enter this country free from taxes is answer to prayer.
 "As for me, am free to say what I please, for I have stepped up to the captains office and settled. When I called at the tax commissioners office some time ago I saw Mir. Putzel sit- ting there in receipt of perjury. and I at once recognized him as a man whom I had met twenty-five years ago, when he was a clerk in the establishment of my esteemed friend, George Haven Putnam.
 He told me I couldn't see Mir. Put nam, which. as 1t was a purely social call and had nothing to sell just then. was neither here nor there, and as I was passing out espied book. How much is thatr asked, and he told me A. How much do you take off for a publishers discounty asked him, and he told me 40 per cent. and he put that down. And to ministers: how much discount is there to themT and he said % per cent. But I wasn't really a min lster; only studying to be one. and I told him to make 1t 20 per cent. And. last of all, I told him was a free American citizen. and he said 10 per cent off. Well. I took the book and told him to send me the bill and was walking away with 1t when he called me back. Wait a minute be called to me. There's 40 cents coming to you
 'when I called on him the other day 10 have chat about my taxes I hoped that something Ike that would happen. I talked to him as every honest man ] talks 10 the tax commissioner. and ! snaIly we settied-I settied-but he al- | most cried when told him what I I vas worth After immersion for only I one year in New York morals he seem i sd to feel that I had no more con- science than a millionaire"
