WANT JUDGE TO
 DIRECT THE VERDICT
Motion Being Argued in the Superior Court in the Case of Fetherson vs. the Grand Lodge, A. o. U. w., of Massachusetts and Connecticut.

In the civil supZior court here on Tuesday, the trial of the case of Mrs. Melissa A. FetherSon vs. the grand lodge A. O. U. w., of Massachusetts and Connecticut was commenced be- fore Judge Reed and a jury. It is for the insurance Leonard B. Feth- erson of New London carried in the order, having joined Sprague lodge in New London June 26, 1895. He was a tugboat engineer. It is claimed that on January 27, 1902, all men insured under the Massachusetts jurisdiction were transferred to Connecticut. MT. Fetherson dropped dead and among his effects was found the policy made payable to his mother, the plaintiff, for $2,000. Payment was refused, as 1t was claimed he had not paid in dues in May before he died, and by the rules he became suspended. The dues in June were not paid, but after he had died the dues for the three months May, June and July-were rendered and returned to a brother, Albert N. Fetherson, who claimed he did not know his brother was dead. There deceased had paid, his dues for sev- eral months at time on previous oc- casions and for that reason 1t should have been allowed this time. It is also claimed that both of the grand lodges are jointly liable.
 Many attorneys from out of town are interested in the case. Witnesses called included George Strobgrand, recorder for Connecticut. Mrs. M. A. Fetherson, A. c. Richards, financier of Sprague lodge, A. N. Fetherson and c. c. Fearing.
 After the plaintiff has rested a mo- tion for a ncn-suit as to the grand lodge of Massachusetts was argued and Judge Reed denied it.
 After many rules and chapters of bylaws of the grand lodges had been submitted, motion to direct the ver- dict was made by Attorney Hartman, representing the grand lodge of Con- necticut. This was argued by Attor- neys Hartman of Derby, Geary of New London and Morse of New Haven, the latter to finish this morning.
 Previous to the arguments Attorney Hamilton of New Haven had to be ex- cused from the case because of busi- ness in New Haven and the necessity of getting the train.
 Court was adjourned at o'clock un- til this morning at 10 o'clock, when the arguments will be resumed.
 The next case to follow this will be F4sh's appeal from probate, the two suits against the Connecticut company having been postponed.

The Dyspepsia
 Of Old Ace
Strong Digestion and An Adequate Nutrition Invariably Mean Long
 and Healthy Life.

There is a process known as meta boism going on constantly m the body, and by which the tissues are built up, and after having served their purpose in the physical economy, are torn down and cast off.
 So long as the due relation between waste and supply is maintained, nu- triton and the various functions of the body are continued. But after middle life and in old age there comes a time when waste exceeds supply, and when the various elements which constitute the different fluids, tissues and organs no longer hold their due proportion, and the principle of life itself becomes enfeebled, the body no longer having power to assimilate new material as it once did.
 As old age creeps on, all the func- ticns gradually fail, especially those of digestion, absorption and assim1la- tion, and the system being deprived of it's ull quota of nutriment, slowly wears out. If the nutritfve and di- gestivc processes of old people could be maintained unimpaired, life could Ee prolonged almost indefinitely.
 There are many old persons in whose stomachs the gastric function is almost entirely suspended. When this trouble occurs, the problem is, how to digest the food and get along without the natural stomach juices.
 There is but one way to overcome the effects of this condition, and that is to supply artificially to the stomach a powerful digestive substance to take the place of the juices which it fails to secrete naturally.
 For this purpose there is nothing superior to STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS known to medical science, as they supply the deficiency, and are such a reliable and thoroughly efficient substitute for the natural gastric juices, that if two or three are taken after each meal, the food will be di- gested in, so complete a manner, that the natural digestive fluids will never be missed.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be used by all old and middle aged persons, in order to prevent or cure the. dyspepsia of old age. Through their use complete digestion of the food is assured, with a consequent in- creased nutrition of the body, and a staying off of the sensfbility and de- creptitude of old age
 This remedy is, however, not only good for the indigestion incidental to advanced life, but it is also applicable to the dyspepsia and stomach troubles Of any age, from youth up.
 Secure package of this famous dyspepsia remedy from your druggist for soc, and if you find that as you get older, your digestion and assimilation becomes weaker, this remedy will as- sist the stomach in the performance of it's functions, so that the general system will not suffer from the delin- quency of the digestive organs.
 A sample package will be sent you if you will forward your name and address to the F. A. Stuart Company, 150 Stuart Building, Marshall, Mich igan.

CURED BY CUTIcURA FOR sl.5o

My baby boy broke out on both cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy, watery kind and unless we kept his little hands wrapped up all the time, he would claw his face till the blood streamed down. The physician gave an oint- nnent which was so severe that my babe would scream when it was put on. We changed doctors and medicines until we had spent fifty dollars or more and baby was getting worse. I was 80 worn out watching and caring for him night and day that almost felt sure the disease was incurable. bought only a dollar and half's worth of the Cuticura Rem- edies and they entirely cured him.

when delicate perfumes were extract
ed from kerosene. Until recently no
one had an idea the Standard Oil had
designs against the butter and the
oleomargarine industries. 1t is pre-
dicted confidently that within year
the only butter on sale in the Ameri-
can market will bear the Standard
Oil label, and that petroleum butter
also will be an active and aggressive
competitor with creamery butter for
supremacy in the foreign markets.
Since the new process was discov-
cred every precaution possible has
been taken by the Standard Oil Off
Gals to prevent the secret leaking. 1t
was only by accident it became public.
The story, which comes from Bayonne,
IS that the chemists and Standard Oil
officials were so elated by the discov-
cry that they made eight pounds of
the butter and put it in a box to be
Skipped TO John D. Rockefeller When
it came TO making out the express slip.
the term Petroleum Butter" was used.
That led to inquiries which finally
elected the information that the
Rockefeller corporation is going into
the buttermaking business. Nor did it
end with that. Assertion also was
made that the chemists, in the steps
leading up to the petroleum butter
discovery. also have perfected a cheap
process by which they can convert the
kerosene into sweet milk. with larger
percentage of butter fat than cows
milk possesses. By running the petrol
cum milk through separators Of high
speed all the butter fat, or cream. is
extracted. That leaves the tanks of
the separators filled with rich and
wholesome self-pasteurized buttermilk.
If that is true, the butter, cream, sweet
milk. buttermilk and cottage cheese
markets soon will be dominated by the
Standard Oil.
