The Heart Can't Stand
Rheumatic Acid
Poisoning
The Uric-U Treatment ExDelES
the Poison from the Blood

Those sharp, shooting pains through
the chest around the region of the
hAart mean that poisonous uric and
rheumatic acid are there ready to
spring and grip tightly the muscles
controlling the hearts action. Don't
neglect these warnings. You must
neutralize and drive these dangerous
poisons from the system, or sooner or
later they viii overcome you.
The only true way to cure Rheuma-
tism is TO get at it from the inside
with Uric-O. 1t acts with marvellous
swiftness upon the muscles, kidneys
and blood. Cleans out the sand-like
deposits in the muscles, forces the
kidneys 10 perform those duties for
which they were designed, and neu-
tralizes the acid within the blood.
Uric-O is liquid taken internally,
times daily, and does not contain
any morphine, opium or other So
called pain deadeners." Sciatica,
Muscular, Inhammatory and Articular
rheumatism all yield readily to
Uric-O.

Being Arranged for Elizabeth Park

supt. Of Parks George A. Parker
and his cohorts, Of Hartford, are es-
pecially busy at this time trying tc
take advantage Of the weather mans
good humor The most important
change in any of the parks is the sun
ken garden in Elizabeth park. The
basis for the garden existed in the
two tiny connected pools, with the
fountain and rustic bridge. which lie
Just to the left of the old entrance to
the park on the southeast corner. The
main entrance has been for some time
a short distance to the north of the
old one Now another entrance. con-
sisting of two footpaths, bordered by
flower beds, is being constructed di-
rectly opposite the center of the park
house. A considerable area was dug
up and is now in the hands of the
workmen The new paths will be
about five feet in width and will be
separated by an immense oblong fiow-
er bed.

seeIve,s 2.cent Record standis.

NWhen the late julius H. Seelye of
Amherst college ran for congress in
1874 as an Independent candidate he
expended only a single postage stamp
or cents, as the rate of letter post
age then was. This money went to
carry his letter accepting the nomina-
ton. Nor is that record yet broken
despite the fact that the smallest
campaign expense account ever
placed on record in Wisconsin is en-
titled to second place. County Judge
o. W. Armquist of Hudson laid <out
only three 2-cent postage stamps on
letters sent to parties in his county
asking to have his nomination papers
circulated. The persons so addressed
circulated the papers and paid the re-
turn postage. Judge Armquist has
held his position for 16 years, and the
people took care of him. as they did

An unsual judgment Icas given in
the Bridgeport city court Thursday

Wednesday afternoon. They were SEN
fenced to thirty days an jail. At the
expiration of fiv edays they wall be re-
leased in the custody Of the probation
officer, who will use his discretion in

Louis Cohen, James Rodgers, Charles
Simmons of Providence, r. L., and
John Kane of Lowell, Mass. All We're
bound for New York and were look
ing for work. They are about 10 years
of age.
1t is usual to suspend judgment IL
the train riding cases. but the boys
admitted that they had planned this
trip. and the court thought that if they
deliberatel evadted paying their
fare over the road they should be pun
ished. One of the boys did not like
going to Jail and asked for another
chance, but he was refused it,

Three weeks ago, another raid, di-
rected by Attorney Henry 3. Agard,
for the state, was made on the Martin
House pharmacy. The police officers
seized a quart bottle practically filed
with whiskey. When the case against
the liquor was called Oliver f. Gavitt
appeared as claimant, and the case
was tried. the object Of the defendant
being to draw the fire of the state and
ascertain the nature of the testimony
that was to follow, for the keeping
for sale or actual sale of liquor. 1t
appeared, in this case, according to
the states witnesses, that the young
liquor detectives, Spencer and Rodman
Of Ashaway. under the direction of
Constable' Ecclestone. had purchased
two half-pints Of whiskey on two diff
ferent occasions. in the Martin phar-
macy After the hearing which occu-
pied the greater part of the court SEES
SIGN, Judge Williams declared the IL
qUor forfeited to the state and ordered
its destruction.

WESTERLY DRUGGIST ARRESTED
Oliver E. Gavitt Charged with Illegal Liquor Sale, Held
in $500 Bonds-Babcock & Wilcox Boiler Co. on the
Defensive-EuriaI of Mrs. Samuel II. Cross-James
Gilmore Dead at Stonington.

The Babcock & Wilcox company, of
which William Hoxie of Westerly is
vice president, and in which ]. Howard
| Brown, also of Westerly, holds an i'm
| portant position, is in the limelight, by
f., reason of charges Of competitors al
| leging boiler trust. This is the COM
| p&ny of which the late Stephen Wilcox
| Of Westerly was president. and in
vcntor of the boiler that is in general
| use i'll naval vessels of all descrip-
| tions. Mr.. Wilcox and the late Mrs.
| Wilcox endowed the Memorial and
Public Library building and also Will
cox park for all time for the free use
| Of the people of Westerly and vicinity
and these monuments are as enduring
| as the granite memorial in River Bend
cemetery.
The house committee on naval af-
fairs recently caused adoption of a
resolution calling for the estimated
cost Of installing a plant to construct
steam boilers at the Brooklyn navy
yard. or other suitable location. The
secretary of the navy has made re-
ply in general terms, and seemingly
without attempting to furnish the de-
tailed information apparently desired
by the committee.
Further to complicate the situation,
the vice president of the Heine Safety
Boiler company of st. Louis has made
charges which have been laid before
the naval committee by Representative
Caulfeld Of Missouri. The st. Louis
company alleges that the Babcock &
Wilcox company and certain associates
have obtained the insertion in the
Specifications for naval boilers of a
provision which excludes competition
by the majority Of boiler manufacture
ers.
The Mosher Boiler company Of Pitts
4 ,-I,,
which have been brought to the at
teution Of the committee by Represent |
alive BaTchfeld
The reply of the secretary of the |
navy to the house resolution is based |
on a report of Chief Constructor |
Caps, as acting chief Of the bureau
OF steam engineering. Constructor |
Capps says the plant in the Brooklyn |
yard is now competent to make naval |
boilers with the exception Of the Bah |
cock q Wilcox and the Niclausse types |
but that their manufacture would re-
quire the installation of special tools |
ard appliances at a cost Of upward of |
100000.
He reports that the Babcock & Will
cox company is willing to furnish the |
machinery or the drawings therefor, /
but would charge royalty for the use |
of their processes, which, with the 1
other expenses, would bring the cost /
of manufacture by the government up /
to the price now paid that company,
about 1885 a square foot of water
heating surface.
AS there is considerable dissatisfac-
ton among boiler makers who have |
been unable to obtain contracts from |
the navy department, it is probable
that before the naval committee is re-
and ready to take up this
subject there will be protests from
others in addition to those already
filed.

General Dem and

of the Well-Inforrned Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
