Vital Statistics in Paris for 1906.

Vital Statistics in Paris Tor 1900.
In the matter of the vital statistics re-
corded at the town clerks Office for the
town of Paris, for 1905, somewhat re-
markable showing is made.
The prmber of births Is SO, besides
three belated returns of births which &C.
Cured in 1905, but were not reported by
the ply sicians until the next year. All
were living children.
- Marriages recorded, 63. In IA of these
neither party was a resident of Paris,
and 10 of them were in other towns, one
or both of the parties being residents OF
this town.
Deaths in town, 40. Reckoning the
population of the town at 1925, the
figures of the 1900 census, this would
make death rate of Is to the thousand
but as the population is undoubtedly
larger now than the figures given, the
actual death rate is probably as low az
IA.
The average age of the 40 who died
is a little above 81. The oldest was 81,
and the youngest an infant. BY decades
they number as follows:

 stantly Stopped.
Sample Package Mailed Free.

Sample Package Malicu ffec'
 Other people notice your bad breath where you would not notice it at all. It is nauseating to other people to stand before them and while you are talking, give them 0 whiff or two Of your bad breath. It usually comes from food fermenting on your stomach, Sometimes you have 1t in the morning, that awful sour bilious, bad breath. You can stop that at once by swallow ing one or two Stuart Charcoal Lozen- ges, the most powerful gas and odor disorders ever prepared
 Sometimes your meals will reveal themselves in your breath to those who talk with you. "You've had onions,' or You've been eating cabbage and all of a sudden you belch in the face of your friend. Charcoal is a wonderful absorber of odors, as every one knows. hat is why Stuart's Charcoal Lozen- ges are so quick to stop all gases and odors of odorous foods, or gas from in- digestion.
 Don't use breath perfumes. They never conceal the odor, and never abs sorb the gas that causes the oGor. Be- sides, the very fact of using them re- veals the reason for their use. Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges in the first place stop for good all sour brash and beich- ing of gas, and make your hraath pure fresh and sweat, just after you've eaten Then no one will turn his face away from you when you breatha O. talk; your breath will be pure and fresh, and besides your food will tastz so much better to you at your next meal Just try it.
 Charcoal does other wonderful things, too. It carries away from your stomach and intestines all the impuri- ties there massed together and which causes the bad breath. Charcoal is a purifier as well as an absarbeT. Charcoal is now by far the best, ! most easy and mild laxative known. A whole boxful will do no harm; in fact the more you talk the better. Stulrt's Charcoal Lo2enges are made of pure ! willow charcoal and mixed With Jus. faint flavor of honey to make them palatable fer you, but not too sweet. You just chew them like candy. They are absolutely harmless.
 Get new, pure, sweet breath, fresh- en your stomach for your next meal, and keep the intestines in good work ing order. These two things are the l secret of good health and long life. You can get all the charcoal necessary to do these wonderful but simple things by getting StQart's Charcoal | Lozenges. We want you to test thcs1 little wonder workers ycutsalf before you buy them. So send US your full i nome and address for a free sample of
 st@arts Charcoal Lo2engas. Then 5f-
 ter you have tried tae s3mp'e, aal
 been convinced, go to your druggist and get 25e box oc tle7H. You'n fec

INDUSTRIAL EXP(HTI(N
OPENS AT ARM0RY OCT. 25
Business Mems Association Gives Out Plans for Third
 Big Food Show.

Two weeks from to-day the New Ha- ven Business Mems association will op- en It's third Food and Industrial Ex- position in the Second Regiment arm ory. The efforts of the various com mittees looking to the complete success of the big undertaking have been un- tirlng and now on the eve of the open ing of the big exposition they see their work already crowned with success.
 Those attending the big exposition win have opportunity this year to see exhibits which hitherto have never been shown in New England outside of the big fair held annually in Boston The variety and extent of the exhibits of this year exceeds even the most san Euine expectations of the exhibits committee of the association.
 There will be a range extending from the manufacture of luscious popcorn in various forms to the latest of table del- icacies; from feed choppers to corsets, from paint and putty to pianos and from picFles to automobiles,
 In fact New Haven will have this year an exhibition which for complete ness of exhibits will be rivalled only by the various worlds expositions and by those only because they are larger. The exposition which opens here two weeks from tonight will be a complete model of q worlds fair.
 Tho housewife will as usual be the guest of honor at the exposition and she will be able to carry home with her a sufficient amount of samples to sup ply her household for a week. Tea biscuit, butter, various kinds and sizes of jellies. cakes of all descriptions, breakfast feeds, grape juice, can goods of al varieties, each and all will be shown in lavish array.
 IL is not al to be a sight seeing ex- rediton for the ladies by any matter cl means fer the committee under the able direction of Chairman E. I. At water has made arrangement for an elaborate musical program which will !. be varied enough to suit even the most fastidious symphony concert goer Each performance there will be a diff ferent musical attraction ranging from violin solos with orchestral accompani- ment to band concerts by orchestras and bands composed of the pick of New Haven's musicians.
 One of the features of this years ex- position will be the Expo -Musee' the committee has secured direct from Hu- ber's 14th street museum in New Yorl, some of the most wonderful, science startling exhibits ever shown in any museum and these will positively be on exhibition at the Food Show

TR0LLEYS 10 CARRY NAIL
SCHEDULE CHANGE CAUSE
New Haven Road Took Night Trains Out of
 Service.

Beginning Oct. IA the mails for Mt, Carmel and for MT. Carmel Center, will be dispatched from the New Hav- en postoffice by electric cars instead of by the New Haven road, the recent change in the New Haven schedule having necessitated this arrangement with the Connecticut company.
 The malls will go out at 6:O6 and 1O:54 a. m. and also at 5:1S p. m.
 Mails will be taken back from there at a. m. and 1:86 and p m.
 It has been definitely decided that Waterbury will have an outgoing mail from there every night to New York and Boston, regardless of the fact that that city is now without train service during the night.
 Postmaster James A. Filling has been besieged by scores of business men and merchants concerning the tying up of the outgoing mail for twelve hours each night, and has secured a promise from the chief clerk of the New Eng land division of the postal department to give Waterbury an outgoing mail service ct night,
 Accordingly it has been arranged to carry pouches out of Waterbury on the 11:06 car every night for New Haven, via Cheshire, and arrangements have been made with the Connecticut com pany for this service.
 The motorman will be sworn in as a messenger and the pouches placed on the front platform of the car, with or ders to allow no one on the front plat form with the pouches and the motor man until the mail matter reaches 1t destination at New Haven, from which point one of the pouches will go out on the 1:10 a. m. train for Boston, and the other for New York on an early morn ing train, reaching those two cities just as soon as if they were scheduled to arrive by the steam trains down the valley.
 It is expected that orders will be re- ceived from Washington next week. with instructions as to the new form of service, and when these are received no time will be lost in sending out the mail on trolley cars each night. The Connecticut company manifested an immediate willingness to cooperate with the postal officials in carrying the night mail and will as result derive an additional revenue from this branch of service

It has been expected that the rail- road company intended to change the location of the station and put it fur ther north, but 1t had not been thought that 1t intended to abolish the station altogether. The station has proved a great convenience to many people. It was reported that the road did not consider that there was great enough traffic there to make it neces- sary to maintain station at this point.
