NERVOUS DYSPEPTICS
Take a Sensible Remedy and Be
 Cured to Stay Cured

The greatest folly of today is com
 mitted by people who take digesters to
 cure indigestion.
 Digesters simply encourage a lazy or
 tired out stomach to shirk it's work by
 doing most of it's work for it. And as every chronic dyspeptic
 knows from experience, digesters soon
 lose their efficiency and leave the stomach in a more dilapidated condi- tion than eve-. The stomach must be strong enough and energetic enough to expand and contract with a sort of churning move ment so to mix the digestive juices with the food. If your stomach isn't strong enough to properly churn the food, you will have indigestion until 1t gets strong enough. Every druggist in America has a remedy named Mi-o-na that will make the stomach of any dyspeptic strong of food; that will cure. and is guar anteed to cure indigestion, or money back.
 Mi-o-na tablets only cost 50 cents a large box at your druggists. They will turn an old. worn out stomach in to a new one in a short time. They give quick and joyful relief from food, belching of gas, sick headaches, and other distressing stomach condi- tions.
 They stop all nervousness. give you
 a normal appetite, and make you en- joy your meals. They make life happy, eyes bright, and complexion
 clear. Druggists in every town in America sell Mi-o-na. It cures sea and car sickne ss, vom- iting of pregnancy, and that remark able feeling after the night before. All druggists

 If parents of boys could be sure of tthe clothes that they buy for their Idboys; if they could walk into a cloth ling store with the same confidence fthey would walk into Tiffany's to buy jewels, wouldn't it be a pretty good lthing for the parents-and for the store ttoo?

EXTEND TROLLEY LINE, IS CRY
 OF THESE 400
Genuine Need for Extension of Barnnm
 Avenue Line to StratfOrd.

Between 40 and 50 residents of Strat- ford and this city held a meeting last night in the Meigs building for the of getting the electric car line service
 in Barnum avenue extended to Main street in Stratford. Thomas McQuillan or Stratford was chairman of the meeting Interested parties showed a petition which bore the names of 4OC property owners including those who already live where they would be bene- fitted by the new line and others who will not build on their lots until the car service is available.
 A committee was appointed for the purpose of securing a hearing before the officers of the railroad company at which time the petition will be pre- scented.
 At present there are several hun dred people living in Stratford at HoI- lister Heights. Nichols avenue. and the Broad Bridge road who are employed at the factories in this city. They walk to work in all kinds of weather as it is out of their way to take the Stratford avenue lines and cross the tracks of the steam railroad in doing so.
 of the distance to work when they reach the trolley terminal they con tinue to walk the remainder of the way and the company misses few hundred nickels each day that it would get if it's lines were extended within 9 reasonable distance from the rapid ly growing section east of the town line.
 The citizens will meet again next Wednesday night to hear the report of the committee that is endeavoring to secure a hearing in New Haven.

POL,I'S
Perhaps the

Perhaps the time is not far off when | a feature of the Fourth of July ath- letic program will be ice skating con- tests. When a novel performance scheduled to take place here next week comes off such conjecture will not be considered so great a stretch of proba- bility as it it first appears Tom But Ter, well known in affairs pertaining to bicycling, is the promoter of a new "act" which will show skating on real ice on a theatre stage. It will be pre- sented at Polls next week.
 ''There is good authority for saying that nothing is new under the sum-" said MT. Butler to a reporter. "But I would wager a good deal that the stunt am now pushing has never been pre- viouSly done, because it's existence is made possible only through the appli- cation of modern inventive ingenuity. While the manufacture of artificial ice has been fOurishing for some time I think the process has never been so thoroughly mastered and subserved to the uses of convenience as in the port able apparatus that I employ. It was made to order for me at a big cost. Isabel Butler and Edward Bassett, who are the glacial experts in my act, have both had all kinds of experience in fancy skating. If you remember the Dip of Death with Barnum & Bai- ley's Circus, you may recall the young woman that figured in it. That was Miss Butler She has also won cham
 
 championship if any such person is of ficially recognized. In a contest at the St. Nicholas Rink in New York, last March. she won that title.''
 Miss Butler and Mrs. BaSsett use a cake of ice by 10 feet for their performances. The act promises to be one of the greatest novelties ever offered in the stage of Polls or any other theatre.
 Pat Rooney & Co., offering the lat est musical comedy success entitled: Simple Simon Simple,'' will headline the bill at Polls next week. Pretty girls, a company of fifteen, special scenic effects and a whirlwind of com edy and dance specialists will make Simple Simon Simple the great big headliner of the season.
 The remainder of the show next week will be up to the general stand ard of excellence.
