A Pleas4nt, eimpIs, But safe and Ef- fsctGAl curs fer F

Catarrdf Of the stomach has long
 be9n conhidered the next thing to in-, curobie T1e usual symptQunS are q
 full sor bloAting sensation after eating wateTy risings. . formation of gases,
 cAustng pressure on the < heart and
 lungs and difficult breathing, head
 aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and q general played out, langaid feeling.
 There is often q foul taste in tne terior of the stomach could te seen 1t
 would show q slimys fnfiamed condi- X
 ton.
 E The cure for this common and ob-E stinate trouble fs found in q treatment
 which causes the food to be readily,
 thoroughly digested before 1t has time
 to ferment and irfitate the deltcate
 mucous surfaces of the stomach. TO
 secure prompt and healthy digestion
 is the one necessary thing to do ana
 when normal digestion is secured the
 catarrhal condition will have disap- pearcd.
 According to Dr. Hariansen, the saf- est and best treatment is to use after
 each meal a tablet, composed of Dias- tase, Aseptic Pepein, a little Nux, Gold
 en Seal and fruit acids These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medf- cine can be used with perfect safety ana assurance t71af nHdiIny apls6tItt and thorough digestion will follow their regular uBe after meals. The plan of dieting is simply another name for starvation, and the use oi prepared foods and new Tangled break fast foods simply makes matters worse, as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows.
 As Dr. Bennett says, the only reason can ina zine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not universally used by 1 everybody who is troubled in any way with poor digestion is because many people seem to think that because q medicine is advertised or is sold ir l drug stores or is protected by trade mark 1t must be a humbug, whereas as ] a matter of truth any druggist whs, 's l obseryant knows that Stuarts Dys- ] pepsia Tablets have cured more people of catarrh of the stomach, indigestion l heartburn, heart trouble, nervous pros i tratiOn and run down condition gen l trAlly than all the patent medicines l ani doctors prescriptions for stomach l trouble combined.

WARD CLOSET IS
 2so FEET FROM BROOK Forty Feet Outside Danger Limit as Prescribed in New York and Massa- chusetts

In regards to the contamination of Trading Cove brook by the Ward closet, Nathan E. Whiting writes The Bulletin as follows:
 With regard to the Trading Cove brook watershed. whenever mention is made of MT. Wards place at Leffing well, the impression given, either in the daily papers or in city meeting, it seems to me, is misleading. The clos ct, so often mentioned as dangerous, is, as measured by MT. Ward, as accur- ately as possible. with ten-foot pole, located 2s0 (two hundred and ninety) feet from the brook, and therefore forty feet outside the danger line drawn by the Massachusetts and New York boards of health, as given in your paper this morning. The ground between the closet and thes brook is nearly level. MT. Ward has been ac- customed to use garden soil, ashes and chloride of lime freely in the closet. and to bury the contents when re- moved, below the soil line in his gar den. Whereas the impression given seems to me to be that the same was spread on top of the ground to wash into the brook with the first rain. A4A As MT. Ward is a man who can be depended upon to take all proper care in such matter. I write this as matter of justice to him.
 No Action by Watar Board.
 
 It was stated by member of the board Of water commissioners on Thursday evening that no action what soever had been taken by the board in regard to treating the water of Trad ing Cove brook. They are investigat- Ing filter plants but are unable to find anything of a temporary nature which will do the work. It Is not known exactly what it will cost to clear the watershed. but should the contamin- ating sources be removed, the state chemist does not approve of the wa ter being used then without treatment which, the member of the board says, leaves the water in a condition which the health officer will not approve, and the treatment of 1t goes against the approval of the people. Until the board can get the water approved by the health ohncer. by some means of puri- fication, which they are endeavorfng to do, 1t will not be possible to pump.
 This year there will be a big decrease in the amount to be turned over to the city treasurer by the water department There has now been turned over $2s.- 900 for the three quarters of the de- partment's year. This quarter Is usu- ally the biz one, but out of the income of this quarter must come the pills for pumping at Mohegan lake, which will not be small, the artesian wells amounting to $3,a00, and other bills in connection with the work during ti 2 recent shortage. The estimated re- ceipts from the department were s44,- 900, which of course cannot be reach- ed.

 When the war broke out President Lincoln immediately sent for Mr. Mer- win and then sent him to General scott. Through Lincoln and also through the Accommodation of Gen. eral Cass. MT. Merwin was. given the ed with Scott until the latter died and he then was summoned by Lincoln and stayed with him until the war ended.
 Major Merwfn was constantly with Lincoln and aided him much on the emancipation proclamation. It was the major who carried the document to Horace Greeley for that gentlemanss criticism. The major related as how Mrs. Lincoln persuaded her husband to attend the theater against his will in order to witness sOur. American Cousin" It was on this occasion that the president was assassinated. Only the day previous to the crime Major Merwin dined with Lincoln
 The speaker then related a few in- stances of Lincoln,s efforts in the in- terasts of prohibition, conspicuous among which was the raising of $2.5o0 in five days in Chicago for a prohibi- tion campaign. Lincoln always spoke in the plainest of language and he was easily understood. One Of his fayorite prohibition maxims was: 'aThe saloons make drunlzards just as the mills make
 four"
 Major Merwin read several sayingf of General Mcclellan Henry Dutton governor of Connecticut. and of Cover nor Bucking ham. also of Connecticut
 His address closed amidst loud ap- plause and the major was kept busy shaking hands for some time after he had finished.
 The esteem In which Major MerwiI was held is demonstrated by the intro duction which Governor Buckingham then president of the American Tenn. perance union. gave him to an immens< audience in New York when he asked the significant question: as he read thu original endorsement of Lieutenant General Winfield Scott and Presiden Lincoln's military order with a tingt of state pride) What other person O the more than two million officers ant men called into service by Presiden Lincoln was so endorsed-so trusted ? Major Merwin is being entertained by MT. and Mrs. H. F. Palmer.
