American games, and teaching them to play in the manner that American children play, there has been started the work of making American citizens out of them. For these little ones or today will be the citizens of tomorrow, what these tots are taught to be. Good wholesome play, properly directed, goes a great way towards giving any child fine start towards strong and healthy manhood and womanhood.
 For the older children there will be games of a different type to play For the boys there will be ball games and quoits, and for the girls there will be beanbags. etc. There will always be solAething doing.
 Physical Director BandloW of the as- sociation will be in charge of the en- tire work. Norwich is indeed for tunate to have a man of his experi ence to open and direct it's first. att tempts at a playground. He has di rected playgrounds in Cleveland. Ohio, where he had several years experience before coming to New England. In Winnipeg, Canada, he built. organized and supervised their playground, and his work here will be very similar to that done in Winnipeg, only on a smaller scale. Besides that he has had experience in Springfield, Mass, while at college, so that he is thoroughly fit- ted to take up this work here. The here will be nothing elab- crate, nor will it be built for perma- ncnt thing. It will be built simply to demonstrate to the citizens and off cials of Norwich that there is a need and a place for such a work for it's children. It is planned to get the thing started and in full swing before the end of the week. and it will con- tinue until school starts.

HEARING IN CITY COURT.
Judge Brown Reserves Decision in
 Case Against HyacInth Lessard.

In the city court on Saturday morn ing Hyacinth Lessard was presented on the charge of perjury in connection with the arrest of a local saloon keeper who Lessard claimed he bought liquor of, but later said he had not told the truth. Testimony was presented by City Attorney Hall but there was none on the part of the accused. His coun- sel, Attorney Douglass, claimed that it made no difference what Lessard said at the time it is claimed he committed perjury as it was but a preliminary hearing. City Attorney Hall claimed that the accused should be held for trial by the higher court. After re- viewing the case briefly, Judge Brown reserved his decision until Wedn esday.
 The case against Frank Zientarra was continued until this morning.
 The continued case against Joseph P. Fields. colored, who was charged with driving an auto without a drivers license, was nolfed. He was employed by the A. C. Swan company and the license was at the garage, but not on the machine at the time he was ar rested. pr. A. F. Howard, secretary of the company, spoke in behalf of the accused and said he thought the au- thorities should begin at the top and not at the bottom in making arrests for violation of the auto law He told of cases where two of the prominent men of the town raced up Broadway to the hospital corner. but nothing was done about it. He also told of other violations in which no action was taken.

Indigestion
Relief in Five Minutes and Perma-
 nent Cure or Money Back.

When The Lee & Osgood Co. states that 1t has a remedy that is guaran- teed to cure any man or woman who suffers from food fermentation which causes belching, sour stomach,~ gas erEc .aticns, heartburn and that lump of lead feeling in the abdomen or mon ey back, what are the poor stomach sufferers in Norwich and vicinity go- ing to do about it?
 The name of this most remarkable stomach prescription is Mi-o-na. Most people call them Mi-o-na stomach tab lets, because they know that there is no remedy good for indigestion or stomach disorders. Here is one opin- ion:
 T have been troubled with indiges- ton for more than year. bought one box of Mi-o-na and it cured srne! Now I would not be without a box in the house for e$50.00. It saves a lot of doctor bills when you can be cured for 50 cents.
 You can use my name if you want to."-Arthur Sederqbest. Nichols St, Wakefield. Mass, Nov 7, 1909.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost 90 cents a box at druggists everywhere and at The Lee & Osgood Co.
