Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
aud pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.

Two Tickets Free.

There is rather mysterious in- dividual named Mike at large in town this week. Mikes principal occupation seems to be giving away theater tickets. To everybody who comes up to him on the street and says You are Mike from Jacques theater" he will give two theater tickets. Mike carries around a supply so that he can satisfy every body who asks for them. Nobody knows who Mike is. He will be on the streets all this week and one has to guess as to his identity. He may be at one end of the town or at another but he is sure to be in Exchange place and on other busy thoroughfares during the rush hours. Watch out for Mike, he is liable to come up and talk to any body. There is almost as much mys- tery about his identity as there was about Rallies. Before the week is over looking for Mike will be a popular pastime.

MANvILLE co SUIT
Decided Saturday in the Circuit
 Court at Bsrli0rd.

The long drawn out suit of the E., J. Manville Machine Co against the Excelsior Needle Go of Torrington has at last been decided. Judge James Platt in the United States circuit court in Hartford Saturday, decided the matter in favor of the plaintiff.
 The issue involved is the patent rights to an invention which removed the greatest difficulty in connecting the rods in bicycle wheels between the tire to the hub. The plaintiff claimed to have secured the patent rights to the idea and also the pat ent rights in foreign countries. One of the appliances was sold to the de- fendant company and the plaintiff claimed that it thereupon began the manufacture of the machine without having obtained the permission or the right to do so, thereby infringing on the rights of the local concern.
 It is probable the Torrington con- cern will appeal to the federal su- preme court. Meanwhile, the local concern will in all probability also bring suits for an accounting of pro- fits, as well as damages for invasion of It's protected field.
