tennis trip. He was one of TIE leading
players of this country While he was
on the other side he suggested the plan
of an international trophy, and the
British received it with enthusiasm.
When he returned to this country he
completed the plans, and in 1900 the
trophy was put up, and the British
challenged for it. From 1900 to 1908
the Davis cup was held by the United
States, from 1908 to 1907 by the United
Kingdom and for the past two years
by Australia. In 1908 Wright and

Treatment for StOm.
acIi Trouble,

There are plenty of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain ard gas on the stomach and car
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. But when you taxi
your next meal all your troubles begin
afresh.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that
will rouse it TO do the work of changing
the food into nourishment The tonic
used ought to be one that will agree With
the most delicate stomach

in DIR. Williams Pink Pills after seven

morning, April 9th, will be greatly
missed. Born in The Forks, his life
had been passed In this vicinity the

latter employment. He was no office
seeker but was deeply interested in
education and to help the cause he
served ten years as an Assessor,
usually as chairman Of the board,
and two terms as q member OF the
school committee. He was af-
fectionate and thoughtful In his home
life and generous and kindly as a
neighbor. He leaves q wife, seven
teen y year-old daughter, q student In

and Ave brothers. The funeral SER
