HEREDlTY
Can Be Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, Of
course, be successfully disputed, but
1t can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while l was a coffee
drinker | suffered from bilious at
tacks of great severity, from which |
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which I tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
He was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inaction.
We can't dodge our Inheritance, you
know
Il was not SO strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however. and, be-
ginning to think for myself, I conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. l feared
1t would be severe trial to give it
up, but when l took Postum and had
1t we'll made, 1t completely filled my
need for a hot beverage and l grew
very fond of it.
Il have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that
time I have had absolutely none Of
the bilious attacks that l used to suf-
fer from, and l have been entirely
free from the pain and debilitating ef-
fects that used to result from them.

days ago. This rlorning in an inter
view with a Farmer reporter he sail:
After a conference with the com
mittee from the church / have decid
ed to withdraw my resignation, the
committee pledging itself to q sub
stantial increase in salary. have
agreed to give all my time to the
pulpit and in the future the affairs of
the Bullock Safety Appliance Co. will
be looked after by the other members
of the company.
''It is my intention to continue the
church as in the past, the same kind
of church Abraham Lincoln would
have had. There are IT denomina-
tons represented in the congregation.
THE regular monthly socials will
be commenced next month and we
will try to make the church the CEN
ter for amusements in the town
perhaps we will have dancing"
Will you go in for boxing also ?"
the clergyman was asked.
Eyes we will have boxing also,
am quite in favor Of that"
Mr.. Bullock said that the church is
practically out of debt and was never
in better condition financially.
Mr.. Bullock said he is in favor of
having STAFFORD become a part of
Bridgeport providing that the entira
town is taken in with perhaps the ex-
ception of the Putney and Oronoque
di stricts. He Is of the opinion that
something should be done to improve
the government of the place as he is
convinced that the debt of Stratford
on a per capita basis is larger than
any other town in the state.

Rep. Bent Demands Raids

Merritt, however substituted a more
sweeping charge, that of keeping a
place where liquor is reputed to be
sold unlawfully. and eliminated the
feature having to do with the sale
of liquors.
Three men were introduced as wit
nesses to show that liquor was sold
to other than members. They testi-
fed to buying liquors on Sunday. This
testimony was to establish the alleged
reputation of the place.

and costs, and Attorney Bent ap-
pea.ed. Col. T. J. Murphy furnished
bail of 5000 for the appellants
Under this decision" Mr. Bent
said, following the courts adjourn
ment. "every club that dispenses Ii
quor on Sunday is doing it unlaw.
fully" Prosecutor Merritt did not
take this view of the case, and as
they argued at police headquarters
on the effect of the decision, Attorney
Bent served notice on Merritt of his
intention to demand the raid of the
leading clubs.
In his decision, Judge Foster an
nounced that he would not at this
time pass upon the question as to
whether club has the right TO sell
liquor to its members on Sunday. He
declared the club in point was bona
fide organization with, laudable pur-
poses, and said the conviction of the
two men was the result of their SELL
ing to the three men who were not
bona fide members.
