TRY THE MONEY-BACK CURE FOR
 INDIGESTION.

Nine times in ten stomach deraDge- ments are responsible for sallow com- plexion, dull eyes and thin body.
 It is the stomach that supplies nourishing blood to the muscles, the nerves and skin. If the stomach is healthy, plenty of nutritious mat ter will be absorbed by the blood. If it is not healthy, the food will ferment and, undigested, will pass along through the bowels, furnishing so little nutritious matter that the blood becomes impoverished, and the glow of health vanishes
 If you suffer from nervousness, sick headache. belohing of gas, sour taste in the mouth, heaviness after eating, or any other miserable stomach dis turbanoe, you need Mi-o-na, and the sooner you get it the quicker you will he healthier and happier.
 It will relieve any distressed stom- ach condition almost immediately. It will cure if used according to di. rectiOns. finders Jacobsen sells it for 50 cents large box, and he thinks enough of it to guarantee it to cure indigestion.

Two natives and former residentl
 who will be remembered by the olde
 people here have died recently. Ont
 was Henry Kinney of Putnam, aged
 77. The other Robert Lawson oi
 New Bedford, Mass, who died April
 2 from the effects of a fall down the stairs at his home. He was 93 years old.
 Dr. George N Lawson of Middle Haddam was in town few days last week experimenting the setting of 10, 900 pine trees on his land here. The doctors trees were imported from Germany. It seems amusing to the older residents who used to work diligently to keep the little pines out of their pastures that there should not be enough here without sending to France and Germany for them.

He was the son of Trenok and Zida (Webber) Crawford. MT. Crawford livsd in Union until he was about 30 years of age, when he went to Worcester. Previously he had married Miss Elmira V. Mercy, also a native of Union, who survives him. The wedding was per- formed in Stafford, May 31, 1858, by Rev. Mr. Batchelder, pastor of the Baptist church. While in Worcester MT. Crawford has been prominently with the First Universalist church and it's work. For Al years he was clerk of the parish and was also librarian of the Sunday school for 21 years. About1 8 years ago he was made deacon of the church and occupied that position at the time of his death. He was honorary membeI of the Worcester Continentals, Athel- stan lodge, A. F. & A.
