What the Tax payers of the Town of Newtown want to know: The amounts of money taken by each of our Town officials found short by expert account ant, and the amounts each one has paid into Town treasury to make up their shortage and the balance, if any. still due the Town. Also the amount of overcharges, if any, made by Town officials more than the law allowed, and if any part of said overcharges have been pald to Town Treasurer. They would also like to know the situ- ation regarding the property of c. H. Northrop deeded to the Town. It has been stated in Town meeting by Town Attorney that the Town was secured against loss by mortgage and attach ment. It is now rumored that the Town has very small claim if any on the property through some error made by selectmen or their attorney, and it is no more than right that the Tax payers should know all the facts Frank A. Blackman.

EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

At a considerable labor and pains The Bee gives to its readers, this week, the report of Frank E. Soule, the accountant employed by the investi- gating committee to examine the &C., counts of the Newtown town officials. which was read at the adjourned town meeting, Tuesday. It should be read carefully by the tax payers, so that when they come to the adjourned meet ing, next Wednesday, all may be pre- pared to act intelligently and in calm. unprejudiced manner. It is sad com mentary on the loose manner in which the public business has been conducted in the town, in years gone by. But the better management is already here. and these disclosures will result in truing up to honest ideals all along tie line. Every able bodied citizen of the town ought to be on hand, next We'd nesday, and there should be a full, free and dispassionate discussion. We also give the recommendations of the committee in full as read to Tuesdays meeting by Attorney Morris. The rec concentrations of the committee are in the main sensible and timely. but if | the selectmen are to be censured it must be borne in mind that Charles E. Beers, Edgar c. Page and John F. Heating must share with the present board of selectmen the smartings and heartburn which would come from a public fagellation.

If one feels dull and splritless, in the spring or early summer, they call it Spring Fever" But there is no fe- yer usually. It is the after effect of our winter habits. The nerves are mostly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid. lifeless, and without spirit or ambition. A few doses of Dr Shoop's Restorative will absolutely and quickly change all of these depressing symptoms The Restorative of course won't bring you back to full health in a day or two, but it will do enough in AS hours to satisfy you that the remedy is reaching that tired spot" Drug gists everywhere are advising its use as splendid and prompt general tonic. It gives more vim and more spirit to the spoonful than any other known nerve or constitutional tonic. It sharp ems failing appetite, aids digestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings new life, strength and ambition. Test it a few days and be convinced. Sold by all dealers. #
