 LIQUOR LICENSES

New Haven, Nov. 1-Nghty ren1on- strances against granting liquor h- censes, were filed last night by the temperance committee of the Pastors Union, the City Missionary AsSocia- t1on and Rev. Frederick Lent, presi- dent of the Pastors Union, individual ly. whose protests could not be filed with the Pastors Union list on ac- ton, and were consequently filed sep arately- MT. Lents list of remon- strances is by far the most interest ing as in it he includes big hotels on the Hast Shore, the Lighthouse Point Hotel, w. T. Carroll pfoprietor; the Morris Cove Hotel, F'rank\C, Murphy, proprietor; the Shoreham,\ John F. Toole, proprietor; Union GreVe Hotel, Morris Cove, John J. Ryan, pNQprietor, and John Weiss, Farren avenuA Pro- tests were made against giyingNthese law provides that no licenses shalN be granted in sections of the city not ef- hciently policed- As the part of Ne7< Haven extending from Farren avenue to Lighthouse Point is not policed at all, Mir. Lent objects to the issuing of licenses to these places and men.
 The temperance committee, through it's secretary, Rev. Clair F. Luther, and the City Missionary Association. through it's secretary, Rev. w. D. Mossrnan, filed combined list of 75 is made to their selling intoxicating liquors
 The Pastors list comprises 15 names and the City Missionary list 60. This is somewhat in excess of the number of remonstrances filed last year.

A Gentleman of the ssOld SchooI'' Who
 Keeps Up With the Times.

Many people have poor teeth. weak gums, sore teeth and other bother some troubles that prevent Q vigorous mastication of food. And instead of eating soft, Tnusuhy food that pals on the appetite they go in for those sa- worry dishes. the very odor of which starts the saliva and makes the storn- ach fairly revel with anticipation.
 z. This is but a natural condition. Any thing else borders upon the indiffer- ence which fosters indigestion and chronic dyspepsia.
 It may be safely said that it should not be a question of diet or kind of food, or teeth or even any of the re- flaxes which are supposed to have their influence in deranging the storn- ach- It is simply a matter of sup plying the stomach and digestive or gans with those known assistants such as pepsin, and hydrochloric acid, both of which have a direct and power fu1 action upon the contents of the stomach.
 One grain of g single ingredient in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of food This saves your stomach and gives 1t the rest it needs. All muscles require occasional rest if they are ever over-taxed. The stom- ach fs no exception to this rule.
 Try a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and you will wonder how you ever got along without them. They are sold at 50 cents by all druggists everywhere.

dyspepsia Tablets After Meals.
 Whether not we eeat too much is a matter for individual Judgment. Benjamin Franklin tried the eperi- ment of living on a handful of raisins. But he discovered that the question wasn't what he ate nor the quantity thereof, but one digestion and assirn- ilation. The normal person eats heartily, and with keen enjoyment. That is because his mind doesn't an- dcipate stomach trouble. And if he does have attack of sour stom- sch or indigestion he knows that the Re of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give sxEick relief

President Eliot attributes the labor disturbances to the imperfect assimi- Iation of foreigners, and planes the schools for the condition. But it is to much to expect the schools to do the work of assimilation alone, espe- cialIy when the great majority Of children leave school at 15. Besides, the countries which have no assimi- lation prob1emS-5uch as England have labor difficulties as acute our own. Still no one would deny that a city like Lawrence with 40 different races, and all engaged in unskilled labor, is a fertile field for. the gospel of unrest.

AT GOSPEL MISSION.
Rev. LIN. Fogg Conducts Special Hol.
mess Convention Services.

Rev. L. N. Fogg preached, Wednes-
day evening, from st. Marx viii:22-26.
He took up the incident in which the
people of Bethsaida bring a blind man
to Jesus and beseech him to touch
him. The application drawn by Mr..
Fogg was that when man gets for
giveness he is wonderfully helped. The
man could see some things. A great
change had come to his life at that
first touch. Later he felt his need of
more help, the same as others do that
have not had their hearts sanctitied
by the blood. Jesus touched him again
and the second blessing reached him
and then he could see clearly. The
need of the church, today, is the gift
Of the Holy Spirit to give it power for
service. Mr.. Fogg sang Freedom
from the Power of Bondage"
Wednesday evening, four were at
the altar for help. Monday afternoon
service will convene, at $50 P. NJ. Also

COUNTERFEIT HALF DOLLAR.

a counterfeit silver half dollar is in
circulation in this part of the State,
and it is understood that one was
given to the local postoffice authori-

the same man gave them half dol

ANNOUNCED to be good money 1t is
possible that there may be several
other pieces of bogus money in cir

near like the regular United States
half dollar that it is almost unde-
tectable.
Mccormick claims to have been fol-
lowing up the matter for several days
and says that he thinks that he can
locate the people who have been put

1t may be that the half dollar that
Mccormick discovered is one of the

of a famous band of counterfeiters
and several thousand half dollars
made by them have recently been
