Stomach Misery
 Just VanisheS
NO INDIGESTION, GAS OR SOUR NESS AFTER TAKING "PAPE'S
 DIAPEPSIN."

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour. undigested food, or have feeling of dizziness, heart burn ,fullness, nausea bad taste in mouth and stomach headache-this is indigestion
 A full case of Papes Diapepsin costs only fifty cents and will thoroughly cure your out-of- order stomach, and leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may suf- fer from stomach trouble or indiges- tion-
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on these fifty cent cases, then you will un- derstand why dyspeptic trouble of all kinds must go, and why they usually relieve sour ,out-o -order stomachs or indigestion in five minutes. Dia- pepsin is harmless and tastes like candy though each dose contains power sufficient to digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go to the table with a healthy appe- tite; but what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and intestines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxa- tives or liver pills for bil1ousness or constipation.
 This city will have many Diapepsin cranks as some people will call them but you will be cranky about this splendid stomach preparation too, if you ever try little for indigestion or gastritis or any other stomach misery
 Get some now this minute, and for ever rid yourself of stomach trouble and indigestion.

POST FOR
 CERTAIN OFFENDERS
Advocated by Governor Baldwin in a
 Speech at Richmond.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 3.-Flogging, in some cases, for children; the whip ping. post for violators of certain laws, and sterilization of assailants of wo- men, were advocated by Governor Baldwin of Connecticut in an address delivered this afternoon before the Governors conference here. In his speech Governor Baldwin declared that he was more in sympathy with the classical school of penology" than the new or noisier one, mainly made up of sentimental humanitar- ians or theoretical psychologists"
 The former school. he said, main tains that criminals should ordinarily. be punished by subjection to some form of suffering; the other than they should ordinarily not be made to suffer for their misdeeds except as nature forces it upon them through the mind, but that their treatment by the state should be aimed primarily at their moral improvement
 There is a certain crime of which one seldom speaks" Governor Baldwin continued. Its very name has come to be banished from our newspapers. Yet the thought of 1t is a daily terror to every woman in the south and brings a sense of uneasiness and con- straint into the life of her northern sisters. It is the cause of most of those lynching cases which disgrace our civilization. It is to be kept down only by the severest methods.
 'Is it too much to say if the courts are not ready to apply these, the peo- pie will? The people who may thus bring some ruff1an to his death will not be the best people in the commu- nifty. They may occasionally seize the n11%1 1,oex frfi yet been had in the United States of any one of a mob of lynchers for | hanging a negro accused of rape? That crime does wrong to a wo- man which many of them have deemed worse than death. Such a man Is nc 1 fit subpect for an indeterminate sen- l tence. He has proved his inherent weakness of will power. In every clear case of rape, iir my judgment. there should be an operation of steriliza- l tion."
 "A wife-beater, or the burglar who uses torture to compel his victims tc l produce their valuables, ought to sui l fer a certain punishment which he
 may know beforehand. It seems tc | me that the prospect of whipping | of course a moderate and private one 1 would often best answer that purpose 1 Particularly is this true of boys. 4
 sound whipping is the remedy tha
 the world has always recognized a. belonging to their time of life.
 "There Is a crime still meaner thar
 that to which I have alluded, that {
 man can commit towards the weake,
 sex. It is when he lures child int,
 dishonor. The penalty to be measured out for any act must be partly deter.
 mined from its natural consequences
 This act, therefore. 1t might be ar
 gued, is not one to be punished al
 rape or murder is. But a sentenc,
 to mere imprisonment seems to m,
 very inadequate one. If every sucl
 offender were also smartly whipped,
 believe there would soon be fewer 0 | them.

THIRD GLASS MATTER
 AND PARCELS POST.
Postoffice Has Received Rulings on
 Certain Classes.

Postmaster William Caruthers has received a communication from the postal department at Washington con- taining some specific rulings regarding certain classes of parcels post matter. The most important concern the rates established on seeds and plants, and the classification of third class matter.
 Seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants will, when the new arrange ments have been put in force, be per mitted in the parcels post at postage rate of one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof regardless of dis tance. This apparently means that an exception has been made in the case of this particular class to the general scheme of dividing the country into zones. Another ruling decides that "all matter now classified as third class matter will not be permitted in the parcels post mails" Third class matter, which includes what is known as miscellaneous printed matter will continue to cost one cent for every two ounces or fraction.

STRAIGHT DRIVE FROM
 UNION STATION TO BEACH.
Project Presented to the New London
 Common Council.

James D. Lynch of New York city, who has his summer home in lower Pequot avenue, New London, in let ter and petition presented to the court of common council there Monday night unfolded a plan for a direct drive from the union station to Ocean Beach. The proposition was referred to @ com- mittee.
 The intent of the plan is to relieve the congested condition of Bank street in the summer months when the usual business traffic on that thoroughfare is increased by the automobile and carriage travel to and from the Pe- quot. Briefly, the plan provides for vehicles coming from the station, up State and down Washington, carrying Washington through to Reed street, removing the parklet on which stand the grocery store of the Edward Keefe estate and the saloon of the John St. John estate, cutting off Darts corner, making the curve at the Howard street cut less sharp and thus opening up a direct and safe route right through from the center of the city to the Pe- oIIot colony

FOUND NOTHING BUT
 HOLE IN THE GROUND.
Waterbury Man Visited Hawthorne's
 Mines After Buying Stock.

New York, Dec. 9.-'Nothing but hole in the ground" was what John M. Henderson of Waterbury, Conn, saw when he visited the Temagami Cobalt mines, one of the properties promoted by Julian Hawthorne and others, on trial for using the mails to defraud. Henderson, mechanical en- gineer, so testified today, stating that he had paid $4S0 for 1.250 shares in Temagami Cobalt and also had sub scribed for 1900 shares of Elk Lake Cobalt, another Hawthorne property. The witness said he visited the Te- magami mines in June, 1910, and found that work had ceased and that all the mining machines were being packed up readN for shipment.
 What did you see in the way of mines or mining?" asked the federal prosecutor,
 "Nothing but hole in the ground" replied the witness.
 A prima facie case "that several persons were induced to part with real money for stock of the Temagam Co., bait mines seems to have been suffi- ciently established" was a ruling by Judge Hough after several other wit nesses had testified along this line. The court held it was unnecessary to put in further similar evidence.

IO6 BALLOTS DISPUTED NOW
RecOnt is Completed in Contest Over Election of Select in Stonington-On Undsputed Ballots Chesebro, Democrat Leads Stahle, Republican, CPS to 621-49 Disputed Ballots in Second District

Guire did not concede that fact. AL lowing that two-thirds of the new dis puted ballots were republican, Attor- ney Rathbun still claimed that big proportion of them were without doubt perfectly legally ballots and he ex- pected that the result of the recount would show that MT. Stahle was elect ed by even larger figures than before. As an example of how so many more disputed ballots turned up in the re- count than in the original count, he made the statement that Byron. J. Peckham, who was the moderator, was now raising a question on 16 ballots in the Pawcatuck district where there had been none disputed before.
 By districts the disputed ballots re- vealed by the recount were as follows: first, 20; second, 49; third. 8; fourth, 30; fifth, 4.
 Attorney Rathbun will spend today sorting out and classifying the disputed ballots, figuring out their effect on the claims of the candidates and prepar- ing his argument. Attorney Mcclure will do the same tomorrow and then a time for presenting the arguments before Judge Shumway will be agreed upon.

TRAMP NUISANCE ACUTE
 IN COUNTRY TOWN.
PIainfieId Gets Some of Those Ousted
 by Norwich Police Activity.

The so-called tramp nuisance is again becoming acute throughout northeastern Connecticut, due, it is claimed in Plainfeld, to the action of who had applied for free lodging. The warning was also given that tramps must keep away from that city. The result is that most of the towns in the Plainfield neighborhood are overrun with strangers who have drifted this way from other parts of the state and have crossed the line from Rhode Isl and and Massachusetts. The railroad men are driving them off the tracks and out of freight cars and thisftends to send the tramps along the highways to the worriment of the farmers and their families
