OYSTER GROWERS
 TELL ABOUT TAX
Say Ground Gan Be Had As Low As 50 Cents Per
 Acre

Another large representation of oyster growers attended the third bearing of the board of equaliza tion which sat as board of relief yester- day at Hartford. The assessed valua- ton of uncultivated and uncultivat- sble oyster grounds at $5 an acre in- stead of at $1 an acre, as formerly, was the chief matter under discus sion, the holders of such grounds ob- jecting rather strenuously to the in creased valuation.
 Ex-Senator Stiles Judson appeared for H. J. Lewis & Co. of Madison and for other oyster planters. Under his questioning H. J. Lewis testified that he had known of no sales of unculti- vated oyster grounds off Madison and Guilford for more than s1 an acre, but he had known of such grounds selling for 75 cents an acre. He had had them offered to him for as low as 50 cents an acre. The grounds were practically worthless except for experimental purposes.
 Henry c. Rowe, who owns oyster grounds off Westbrook, Madison and Guilford, which seemed promising twenty-five years ago, testified that extensive experiments to make them productive had proved so costly and discouraging that no attempt had been made to cultivate them since. All of the adtoining ground, he said, would have been abandoned, had not the shellfish commission been dis posed to encourage the industry, and thinking that the grounds might pos sibly become available some time, the planters consented to retain the ground at an assessed value not to exceed S1.10 an acre.

COST OF LIVING IN LONDON
 AND IN NEW YORK
MeW York World. ]

The cable states that in London, West End prices for beef are: Australian ribs, 12 cents a pound; Joins, IA; chuck steak, 10. In the East End frozen beef from Argentina costs for ribs, 8 cents: loins, &; chuck. 10. These are retail prices. English home grown beef costs twice as much.
 Differences in retailing methods and in the grading make the comparison of wholesale provision rates, less in Structfye; yet it may interest Ameri- can housewives that ten days ago, be- fore our so-called meat baycott began, "extra India mess'' beef was quoted in Liverpool at s23.10 and in New York at s2450 to $25; that granulated sugar sold wholesale in New York at 515 cents a pound and in. London at 366 cents, with beet sugar at 3.15; that Canadian and Edam cheese averaged in London IA cents a pound, Canadian bacon 16 cents a pound, and AuStral- ian and New Zealand butter ranged at A cents and upward, while New York paid IT cents for domestic cheese and from 26 to 36 for butter; that dressed turkeys in London were Is to P, cents a pound and fowls 50 cents upward, each. while New York paid 22 to 26 cents. dressed, for turkeys, and fowls, not dressed, commanded at wholesale IS cents a pound.
 In the very week of Jan. 1, 1910, when prices averaging nearly 62 per cent. above those of July 1, 1896, on ninety six necessary commodities were reach ed in this country, London was draw ing bacon from Canada. beef from Ar gentina. butter from Denmark and Russia. pork from Holland eggs from Italy. For every food article the worlds lowest prices were at the ser vice of her housekeepers
 In so far as the high cost of living is due to the tariff and to trust manip- ulation within it's shelter, the people who sat quiet last year while Congress rifled their pockets to enrich the trusts have only themselves to blame. Let them new insist that the Payne-Al- drich iniquity is not final; that Con- gress must reduce the cost of living; tax wealth. not poverty, by lower du- ties and a graduated income tax; and that In the meantime State and Fed eral authorities must proceed with the utmost vigor against illegal conspirac- ies to enhancethe prices of the neces- EarieS of life

Acid Dyspepsia
Nervous People Are Frequent Suffer, CTS From Too Much Hydrochloric
 Acid In The Stomach.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free.

A Ir1al Fackage O1 SCuafC'S Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free.
 Sour Stomach or acid dyspepsia is form of indigestion in which en- tirely too much hydrochloric acid is secreted by the stomach. A sour taste in the mouth is the most com mon symptom of acid dyspepsia; and the saliva, which is normally alkaline, is found, when tested, to be changed to acid, or just the opposite of what it should be, and is a state of the secretion which causes rapid and ex- tensive destruction of the teeth. F Everything eaten turns more or less sour in the stomach, but sweets and acid fruits are far worse in this respect than other foods. If the eructation of liquids from the stom- ach occurs, they have. shch an ex- tremely sour@aste as to set the teeth on edge.
 Hydrochloric acid is an important constituent in the gastric juice, but when too much of it is secreted, it does positive harm to the mucous lining of the stomach; and when acid dyspepsia is long continued it often sets up chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and other serious diseases. The pre- mature loss of all the teeth has been caused by acid saliva, which was de- pendent upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach.
 STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS, besides furnishing pure, aseptic pep sin to the stomach to dilute the ex- cess of hydrochloric acid, and to di- gest proteids and albuminous foods very thoroughly, also contain bismuth subnitrate and calcium carbonate, which are antagonistic to the acid, and therefore neutralize the effect of the excessive amount of acid in the stomach, and the continued use of these tablets will change the pervert- ed condition of the secretions to a normal state.
 If you are suffering from "hyper- chlor-hydria," as physicians term it, or in other words, acid dyspepsia, and experience a sour taste in the, mouth, with acid eructations or heart burn, begin at once the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, using one or two after each meal, or as may be re- quired, and the same quantity at re- tiring time, for if this trouble is al- lowed to run on, it may cause serious organic changes in the stomach. There are cases on record where the lining of the stomach has been completely eaten away through perverted action of the secretions.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been tried in all forms of indigestion and dyspepsia, with unfailing suc- cess, so that no matter which form you may be suffering from, the quick-' est way to bring about a cure is through the use of these powerful stomach tablets.
 Secure from your druggist a fifty cent box, and get cured of acid dys- pepsia, or whatever form of indiges- ton you may be suffering. Also send us your name and address for free sample. Address F. A. Stuart Com- pany, 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

Hartford, Jan. 26.-Electricity as an anae sthetic has been used with success in an operation at St. Francis Hos pital here. The electricity was applied by Dr. Louise E. Rabinovitch of Paris, who lectured Monday night before the physicians of this city on the possibil- ity of restoring persons who had sup posedly been killed by electricity, es- pecially those subjected to the current in the electric chair While a patient was being subjected to the electrical current by Dr. Rabinovitch four frozen toes were amputated by Dr. Marcus M. Johnson, and the man felt no pain.
 The name of the patient is not dis closed by the surgeons concerned. They stated only that his toes were frozen as result of exposure in the recent storm and he has been at St. Francis Hospital for several days. He was told that it would be necessary to am- putate four toes. He consented to the operation, but said he did not want to take ether. Dr. Rabinovitch was told of the case Monday night and suggest cd electricity as an anaesthetic. The patient agreed to the plan yesterday, although he was told that it was novel to surgery and that the surgeons could A'Ot SINc 1liIII lIlO SilSuI6SI e1COUId ment as to the outcome.
 When the man had been made ready for the operation straps were fastened about his legs at points designated by Dr. Rabinovitch. On these straps were electrodes to which were attached wires connecting with battery. The electricity was turned on, and it numb ed the legs below the knees much as cocaine would. The patient was blind folded and the surgeons went to work. The toes sweres amputated and the pa tient soon was released from the elec- trical attachments.
 He said that he had not felt the slightest sensation during the cutting and had not known when the surgeons were doing it: During the operation he talked with the attendants and laughed at jokes Three toes of his left foot and the large toe of his right foot were amputated.
 Dr. Robinovitch's plan consists of sending an interrupted current of e1ec- tricity through the affected part of the human body to be operated upon. No current of fifty-four volts was used in this instance. reduced by means of a commutator to one-tenth Of that amount. The Interruptions of the current were estimated at 10000 a min ute. The secret of the use of the de- wise is in correctly applying the elec- trode to the nerve that controls the affected part,
 Dr. Johnson said there were no bad after effects, and the patient suffered no pain. He declared that the feat marked an epoch in anaesthetic sur gery, and that other forms of anaes- thesia were likely to be entirely SUD- planted by Dr. Rabinovitch's process. Dr. Rabinovitch was highly elated over the success of her device.

SCHWAEBS' ANNUAL BAL MASQUE SCORES
 GREATEST SUCCESS
EAGLES HALL THRONGED LAST
 NIGHT WITH FUN LOVING GATHERING.

With a. brilliantly staged tableau from Tannhauser, and an intricate drill by dozen strikingly uniformed young men, as the principal features, the annual masquerade ball of the Schwaebischer Maennerchor held in Eagles hall last night scored the most substantial success in the history of the many similar events held un- der the auspices of the organization.
 Eagles hall was thronged With members, their wives and sweethearts and guests. Many who did not care to take part in the dancing thronged the ample balcony, or ranged them selves about the big hall watching the frolicsome pranks of the masquerad- CTS. The two big refreshment rooms were thronged throughout the night. Several hundreds of dollars was req lized from the refreshments alone, while the admissions ran we'll into four figures.
 It was II o'clock when the cur tsins were drawn aside and the then took place about the floor of the main hall. At the close of the drill the grand march began, and on it's conclusion the unmasking took place with much merriment. The light effects for the grand march and mas querade were secured with spot lights, and the use of colored screens contributed to exceptional kaleides- copic features.
 The participants in the tableau were Christian Haug, ST., Mrs. Fritz Roehrich, ,e Misses Annie and Car rie Walz, Messrs. Louis Hilzinger, w. Bantles, G.. Feyrer, Fred Scholz, James Kaussler, Christian Schick, George Reichert, Max Schwartz, Mar tin Brodbeck, James Balsch and Charles Kaussler.
 In the drill the following men took part: George Kacerotsky, manager Christian Haug, Jr.,, w.. Haug, Paul Schulz, Charles Sannwald, Adam Schempp, Jr., J. Sannwald, Jr., L. Haug, Joseph Metzger, w. eLenz, George Koehm, M. Feyrer, w. La Montain.
 Arrangements for the undertaking were made by L.. HilZinger, president; J. Unfried, secretary Charles Schawrz, treasurer; John Ruoss, ticket agent; L. Schwerdtle, Christian Haug, B. Adams.
