MORE DAYS OFF
Wanted by Hartford Policemen
 Would Like Twenty mine Year.

A committee of three members of the Hartford Patrclmen's Benevolent association appeared before the board of police commissioners at a regular meeting recently and asked for twen- ty-nine days a ' ar off duty with pay, instead of the present arrangement of twelve days a year. The members of the committee were Policemen Charles E Russell, chairman, Frank P. Geary, and F. S. Young, ng,Lrepresenting nearly all of the regular patrolmen and super numeraries of the department.
 When the polceInen's salaries were put on a sliding scale and the maxi mum pay of the patrolmen raised, they were given one day a month off duty with pay, and 1t is now claimed that this is not sufficient rest for the men and that during the last seven teen months while that arrangement has been in effect, there has been more sickness in the department than ever before. The patrolmen's com mittee asks for two days a month off with an annual vacation of five days, with pay. Mayor Edward L. Smith. who presided at the meeting, asked the members of the committee if they had learned how other cities treat the problem and it was brought out that while the salary of policemen in other cities is not in general as large as the salaries in Hartford, other cities give the men more rest and an annual va cation ranging from a few days to two weeks The clerk of the board was in structed to communicate with the po- lice departments of other cities and find what provision is made for po- licemen'S vacations.

STOMACH DISTRESS AND
 INDIGESTION GO AT ONCE

If you had some Diapepsin handy
 and would take a little now your
 stomach distress or Indigestion would vanish in five minutes and you would feel f1ne
 This harmless preparation will di- gest anything you eat and overcome a sour out order stomach before you realize it.
 If your meals don't tempt you, or what little you do eat seems to fill you. or lies like lump of lead in your stomach. or if you have heart burn, that is sign of Indigestion. Ask your pharmacist for a 50-cent
 case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a little just as soon as you can. There will be no sour -risings, no belching
 of undigested food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the stomach Nau- sea, Debilitating Headaches. Dizzi- ness or Intestinal griping. This will all go, and, besides, there will be no undigested food left over in the stom- ach to poison your breath with nause- ous odors. & Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure for out-of- order stomaci4s, because it prevents fermentation and takes hold of your food and digests it just the same as if your stomach wasn't there. Relief in five minutes from all sto mach misery is at any drug store waiting for you.
 These large 5e-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure almost any case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion or any other stomach disturbance.

ONE CREW SERVES
 ON BOTH LINES. Westerly Cars Will Not Wait Here on Square, But Leave at Once on Ar irving.

A change in the running plan of the Norwich and Westerly road and the Ashaway branch has been put into force this week by which the cars of the Westerly line no longer have a 20 minute wait after they arrive in Franklin square, and at the Westerly end also. When the cars from West erly formerly reached Norwich about 20 minutes past the hour and waited in Franklin square until their leaving time at a quarter before the hour they now are due to arrive at quarter be- fore the hour and leave immediately.
 The change is brought about by hay ing the Ashaway run handled by the crew that formerly only went as far as Westerly and waited at each end of the line 20 minutes By using them in this time which they formerly spent in waiting step in economy is achieved, as it does away with the extra crew for the Ashaway trip.
 The new plan makes no change in the running time between here and Westerly, nor in the time al which eastbound cars arrive at the stations along the road. The station time for westbeund cars is all made about 20 to 25 minutes later

SEEKING MISSING GIRL.
Now Thought She Took Ncrwich- { Westerly Car and Went to Provi-
 dence.

f
 All efforts to locate the whereabouts of Miss Ardelle Scriver. the 15 year old New London girl, have proven fruitless thus far
 City Sheriff Martin of New London has beerN employed on the case since Saturday morning. when he traced the girl to this city. Here a girl answer ing the description of the missing girl was seen on the Norwich Werterly trolley, leaving here at 2.45 o'clock. The girl made the trip to Westerly and from there is supposed to have taken the express leaving Westerly for Providence at 4.45. Sheriff Martin inn media-ely went to Providence, but could get no clue that the girl had gotten off in that city, so returned to his home. He made the trip to Plov- idence again Monday and received in- formation which leads him to think the girl is in Providence. A girl an swering the description of the miss ing one was seen coming from the Providence station, after the arrii-al of the train which she is supposed to have taken.

Request More Sanitary Platforms for
 Full and Empty Milk Cans.

The Connecticut and Rhode Island milk producers. A of whom live in the vicinity of Plainfield, has received ac- knowledg cement from President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad of their protest against the accommodations for hendling milk cans provided by the company.

Scott of Provi- dence went over the railroad taking photographs of the station platforms on which were full milk cans and empty ones.a Based upon conditions shown by these photogra phs, the ship Ders have requested the railroad to put up new platforms, sheds for storage of empty milk cans and improvements ts otherwise in the direction of promot- ing sanitation.
 In Providence the claim is made that much sickness has resulted from the careless handling of milk cans
