Gov. Guild Revokes Appointment Of q
Medical Examiner.

Boston, Jan. 3.-Gov. Guild sent q
message to the Legislature today an
nouncing that he had removed Medical
Examiner Francis A. Harris Of Suffolk
county from office on the ground Of
general unfitness He added that the
executive council had approved his ac-
ton. He stated also that he had re-
quested DR.. Harris to resign but that
the latter had declined to do so.
Although the governor did not speci-
fy his reasons for holding Medical Ex-
aminer Harris unfit for Office it is un-
derstood that DR.. Harris attitude in
the case of Charles l.. Tucker who was
electrocuted for the murder of Mabel
Page was the controlling basis for the
removal. During the agitation in fay
or of the communication of fuckers
death sentence DR.. Harris who had
during the trial testified that a single
edged knife such as found on Tucker
could have caused the wounds on Miss
Pages body, expressed the opinion that
the wounds might have been made by
a double edged weapon. Then later
DR.. Harris went back to his original
opinion.

Edgewood Athletic Club Completes its
 Programme.
 The arrangements for the Edgewood Athletic clubs meet, which is to be held in Music hall on Wednesday night, have been completed and 1t is probable that one of the finest cards ever put on in New Haven will result from the efforts of the clubs committee. The headliner, as has already been printed, will bring Nose King, of New London, and Lou Meyers, of New York, togeth- CT for twelve rounds. Both fighters are included among the best light weights in this section and the contest should prove a good one. The prelimi- naries will be between Hank Griffin, the Bridgeport crack, and Sammy Meyers, a clever brother of Lou. For curtain raiser Young Hyda, of Bridgeport, will meet Tommy Maher the lattle bantam who showed his worth recently in a bout with the state champion, Bunny Ford
 On the whole, the meet should prove one of the best athletic attractions ever offered the fistic fans in this city.

Catarhof the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple. But Safe and Effec- Gual Cure for It.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in curable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a. formation of gases causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, head aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often foul taste in the mouth. coated tongue and if the inte- r:or of the stomach could ge seen it would show a sliny, infamed coadi- tion.
 The cure for this common and ob- stinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach, To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disap- peared
 According to Dr. Harlanson, the saf- est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Dias- tase, Anseptic Pepsin little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets and not being patent medicine can be Ised with perfect safety and assurance that healthy ap petit. an thcrougk dgeltion will fol- low their regular use after meals.
 MT. R. $. Workman, Chicago, Ills, writes: "Catarrh is local condition resulting from neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes infiamed and the poisonous discharge therfrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities pre- soribed for me for three years for ca tarrh of stomach without cure, but to- day I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuarts Dyspepr sia Tablets I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feelng.s I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use''
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the sim rlest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion Catarrh of stomach biHousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

people who are poor happy, that it can make those who are sorrowful rejoice, that 1t can take the worry and anxiety out of the soul, that it can be made living, on-rushing, triumphant power in life-where are the hosts of people who believe this? Shall I, then, in an un- spiritual age, raise my voice in protest against people whose peculiarity con- sists in this, that they emphasize the spiritual alone? Shall I not rather say to myself and to you, Let us learn what 1t is that Is making the Bible, the church, the religious life attractive to these people As I meet them ask them questions; and I find to my amazement that they are those who have gone out of our churches. Would l not be the poor part of a minister if this discovery did not drive me to my knees to ask of God what it is that the soul of man needs that have not been giving 1t? Can I do less than make an appeal to you as church that we move out into larger appropriation of those vital truths of Christ's gospel that have 10 GO WlIn IlG dcludl DIGS6ilC6 u NOQ III human life? That we are to embrace the extravagancies of this religion is no part of my appeal. We shall continue to handle these forms of matter as ac- tual realities; we shall continue to &C., cept sin as the most terrible of all facts; we shall continue to recognize disease as disease, and not a fiction of mortal mind;" and if we are wise we shall continue to bring to it's treatment the highest medical science of the age, All I ask is this; study the movement at first hand as have tried to study it. Ask yourselves, What is the great spir- itual truth at the heart of it? Do the facts warrant us in believing that they are emphasizing truth that our churches have permitted to fall into neglect? If so shall we not be large enough, and humble enough, to accept from their hands that which may help us to fill ort the Masters message? Speaking for myself, I would say: Never be afraid that your new truth, whatever it may be, will not find ac- ceptance here. If know this church, it stands ready to welcome your truth and to welcome you. All it asks of any truth to accept it is that it shall prove itself to have been born of the spirit of the living Christ.
