RESULT OF CORN SHOW
 IN SPRINGFIELD.

Lester S. White of Collinsville se- cured the grand prize of $500 for the largest yield of corn per acre, the prize being awarded at the Massa- chusetts corn show held in Spring field this week. The yield was 1904 bushels an acre, harvest measure. eoualling, 112.68 bushels an acre of shelled corn. Last year the prize went to yield of 103.23 bushels an acre, gain of nine and one-half bushels an acre. MT. White raised yellow flint corn when most Connec- ticut farmers would have chosen a dent corn instead.
 The Bowker contest, open to all New England farmers, awakened great interest, 128 acres. representing every state in New England, being entered, though only thirty-nine fn- ished, owing to the severe drouth and the early frost. After the grand prize taken by MT. White seven oth CTS were awarded; four of them were for flint corn and three for dent. Ali the contest acres were husked, weighed and sampled in the presence of three disinterested witnesses in each case. Carefully drawn samples were tested at the Massachusetts Ag- ricultural Experiment Station and each was reduced to a uniform basis of 12 per cent. moisture, which is the average per cent of crib-dry corn.

Do You Enjoy Your Mealsi
One Of the Most Important Questions to Consider in the Search for
 Happiness and Health

r
 The burning question to you is, "Are you getting out of life all the pleasure and the health you are entitled to? If not, why not?
 No matter whether every, organ and member of your body is in a sound state of health and strength if your stomach is in any way disordered, you are not going to be yourself" You are going to be a worried, out-of- sorts, nervous or sulllen individual. whose actions will reflect your condi- tion inside. and people will naturally avoid you.
 The world wants to smile and be cheerful, and unless you are cheerful and smile, at least, occasionally, you will have few friends. fewer oppor- tunities, no success, and you will go down in defeat-defeated by cyspep- sia and a bad stomach.
 A good and thorough digestion has a quick. wonderful reaction upon the brain. You must have noticed it many times, for the brain and stomach are as intimately connected as a needle and it's thread, one can hardly be used to advantage without the other. If your stomach is slow and lazy in di- gesting your food, it will produce at once a slow, lazy and cloudy influence upon your brain. Mark it! If your stomach has absolutely putt work. and fermentation is poisoning your vitals as result. surely your brain is going to be sluggish and correspondingly depressed. No one need tell you that.
 But why continue to suffer all the miseries and torm ents that a dlsor- dered stomach brings you?
 If your stomach can not digest your food, what will? Where's the relief? Where's the cure?
 Stuart's Dyspepsia; Tablets are the relief and the cure. Why? Because, as all stomach troubles arise from in- digestion and because one ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is able to thoroughly and completely digest 5000 grains of any kind Of food, doesn't it stand to reason that these digest all the food and whatever food you put into your stomach? Science nowadays can digest food without having to use the stomach for 1t. And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the re- suit of this scientific discovery. They anything and everything you eat
 So, if your stomach refuses to work or can't work, and you suffer from eructations, bloat, brash, fermenta- tion, biliousness, sour stomach, heart burn irritation, indigestion, or dys- pepsia of whatever form, just take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, ana see the difference. It doesn't cost you much to prove it. Then you can eat all you want, what you want,when- ever you want, if you use these tab lets,a you can look the whole world in the face with a beaming eye and you will have a cheerful spirit, a pleasant face, a vigorous body and a clear mind and memory and every thing will look and taste delicious to you That's life.

HOT SHOT FROM
 REV. MR. JUMP
New Britain Pastor .Raps the Church That Thinks More of its Organ Than
 its Poor
Especial from United Press,


 New Britain, Nov. 1S-"Whenever a church cares more for responsibility than for humble service, whenever it regards itself a polite religious club with its clergyman an errand boy, and whenever the power of money dom- mate its policies and restraints are placed on the lips of the preacher lest he too frankly and too earnestly cham pion the cause of the laboring man, then the days of that church are num- bered." -
 This peroration in Rev. Herbert A. Jumps farewell sermon at the South congregational Church, yesterday, still ranked today in the breasts of the rich membership. Rev. Jump left to- day for Oakland, Cal, where he was called to the First Congregational Church.
 Rev. MT. Jump said he spoke right out because he did not want to be accused of having been frightened out of his convictions.
 Whenever a church Is prouder of It's brownstone front and it's organ man Of It's poor people who seek its pews for worship" he said, "whenever It cares more for its dignity and size than for its influence in the city, whenever 1t congratulates itself upon It's thrifty management rather than the pushing forward of solid ground work for the word of God. whenever a church forgets in practice the exam pie Of the Master, then the days of that church are numbered. Il nave tried to commend democ- racy, to preach social justice, to make my church and myself serve the com munity.

CATHOLIC CLERGYMEN'
 ENDORSE THE NEAL. THREE-DAYDRINK CURE

Rev. Father J. E., O'Brien. of the Our Lady of Good. Help Parish. Seat- tie, Wash, says: Nothing affords me greater pleas ure than to cal 1.-the attention of the public to the Neal Three-Day Cure for the Liquor abit. The Neal Treat ment guarantees to cure and correct the afflicted patient within three days. This assertion is correct. I personally have brought patients to the Insti- tute and they were cured"
 Rev. Father D. F. Mulvihill, of St. Johns Church, Des Moines, Ia., says:
 ''I am personally acquainted with three cases treated at the Institute here, and they have stood the test for more than three years. I believe that the Neal Cure puts a poor unfortun- ate in the same condition he. was be- fore he tasted liquor.''
 Rev. Father ], F. Nugent, of the Church of the Visitation. Des Moines. Ia., says:
 There has been nothing like it since raising Lazarus from the dead. I know of one case where the man had toucher the bottom of inebriety and after three days in the Neal In- stitute he came out cured, and has never touched drop since. That is nearly twp years ago.

 These good men would not endorse iake. We are unable to publish To- cal endorsements for the reason that the New Haven Institute lone of more than fifty similar Institutes in the Unted States), has only been estab. ilshN a short time; but already there are 6pzens of former drinking men in New Haven and vicinity who can tes- tify that the Neal Treatment does take away all desire for liquor in THREE DAYS and makes a MAN of the for mer drunkard.

More Consumptives Should be Treated
 At New Institution
Plenty of Room at Shelton Retreat Where Skilled
 Attention Is to Be Had
Commissioner Gunshannan Visits Local Physicians and Urges Their Cooper ation = 600 Tubercular Cases Here.

Commissioner John F. Gunshannan, of the State Tuberculosis Commission, wants to know what is the matter with Bridgeport. He states that there are over 800 cases of tuberculosis in this city and that the fine sanitor- ium at Shelton, erected by the State, has not received more than three per cent. of the cases.
 MT. Gunshannan who is most ag- gressive in the fight against the great white plague in this State, has just completed a campaign in this city to bring about a larger use of the State institution by the people of Bridgeport. He has visited the ma- jority of the physicians in this city and has planned to have a meeting of the Medical Association addressed in the near future, by pr. Stephen J. Maher of New Haven, who has charge of the medical work at the Shelton sanitarium.
 To Farmer reporter Mir. Gunshan- nan said: 'srhe Shelton sanitarium has been opened for four months. We don't get as many people from Bridge port as we should, and it is a shame that people suffering with lung trou- ble do not use this institution. The cost is within reach of all, and in is not able D pay, I find that Supt. Brennan is willing to endorse the ap- plication of all who want to try to be cured.
 "It should be a great satisfaction to the people of this city to know that the tuberculosis patients at the almshouse have been sent to Shelton and not single case remains at the institution in this city. From this section of the state there are about 60 cases at Shelton at present. One of the nurses in charge of the wards is Bridgeporter, Miss Winnifred E. Beers
 This fine institution should be us- ed to such an extent that everyone suffering from tuberculosis should be- come a patient and receive treatment as early as possible. The Laboratory connected with the sanitarium is an institution in itself and Dr. Maher who has charge of the work is at the head of his profession in this class of work.
 "Tell any of your doctors in Bridge port or any of your citizens to come up to Shelton and inspect the insti- tuition.
 "The State should receive more SUD- port in this work fvom your city,.

FRANCE AND SPAIN KEEPING TABS ON
 EACH OTHER NOW
fsnecial from united Press,

Especial from United PreSS.1
 Paris. Nov. 1a.-That France and Spain are suspicious of each others actions and fearful that one nation may secure an advantage in the North African country became eyid- ent, today, when 1t was learned that the French cruiser Duchayla. now in Tangier harbor, was ordered to re- main there because Of the presence of Spanish worship.
 While it is not known just what significance the presence of the Span ish vessel may have, France is talk ing no chances and her own vessel will remain nearby to look after French interests.
 The bad feeling and jealousy be- tween France and Spain has not had an oportunity to crop out openly but today's ofders to the Duchayla show what the French government thinks about the situation.

Miss Clarke's rec ord as an actress is too we'll known to need comment at this time. She IS very happily remembered from the time when she was an important member of the forces of Charles FrOhman- Her reputation as an ac- tress was established in those days and she has been adding constantly to her fame ever since. 1t was later that she became playwright. Num- erous of the dramas that her pen has developed are still current at fractions and firmly entrenched in the favor of the people. Introduce work she has done in this direction. But the fact that is not so we'll known Is that Miss Clarke Is her own stage director and manager. It was not sudden impulse that made Miss Clarke a stage director; She

 It is obvious that the marketing of the country's crops will be effected without the disturbance Of monetary ease, and the plethora of capital is a strong underpinning for the invest ment structure. It is a great gain to have sentiment improved by so sharp an advance as has occurred in prices of securities since the first ef- feet of the Steel Corporation suit was exhausted, and if even a fair balance can be maintained between good and bad factors in the approaching winter season, the prospect will be warranted of business progress and larger invest than the current rates Of money.
