Not Salts and Pills. "CasCarets'
If Constipated, Bilious, Head achy, Stomach Sour, Take
 a Cascaret.

You men and women who can't get feeling right-who have headache, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath, dizziness, can't sleep are bii- ious, nervous and upset, bothered with sick, gassy ,disordered stom- ach, or have back-ache and feel worn out.
 Are you keeping your bowels clean with Cascarets ,or merely forcing a passageway every few days with salts, cathartic pills or castor oil? This is important.
 Cascarets work while you sleep; cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fer menting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poison in the intes- tines and bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning-a 16-cent box from any drug store will keep your stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg ular and head clear for months Don't forget ths children. They love Cas- carets because they taste good-do good-never gripe or sicken.

and carried out with success, but more often proves fruitless task for several reasons. Mother Fox inStinc- lively scents danger if a footprint is discovered before the entrance of her home and slyly escorts her family to a new lodging place before the would be captors have time to commence digging operations. An increase to $3 in the bounty would make the digging out of foxes more profitable. but those experienced in the work claim that not make the digging of foxes profit able generally. The sportsman will not hunt foxes after the beginning of the breeding season in February.
 Few Are Trapped.
 A few fcxes are trapped in Connect icut, but the number captured in this way is comparatively small, as Rey nard is particular about taking chances with traps hidden with leaves and caution is usually stronger than temp tation and hungry appetite. The old fox hunters look with a good deal of disfayor upon the capturing of foxes in traps.
 The hunters consider their own con- venience in the matter of choosing the town in which to claim the bounty. county is to be paid in the town where the fox is killed, the hunter often saves himself long trip to the cen ter of some distant town by not being too QeHnlIe aDOut Dounudiy iihoS-
 Two Kinds in Connecticut.
 The fox hunters claim that the kill ing of game birds by foxes is not as common as is generally supposed and that the fox is not the enemy of the farmer and game bird hunter that he is pictured.
 There are two kinds of foxes in Connecticut, the red and the wood gray fox The fur of the red fox is of much more value than the gray. The gray fox does not make the long runs that the red fox does and often seeks. protection in a ledge of rocks at it's first opportunity.
Norwich bulletin., 1913-03-13

Since last May. when the state last paid its share of the bountisS Ior foxes killed in this town, Town treas : urer Charles S. Holbrook has paid out bouhties for IA foxes killed up to the present time. a total of s84 at the rate of $6 for each fox. or this amount for each fox will come back to the town from the state, the other SD pelng paid by the town. Now there is Dill before the legislature to increase thlS state bounty from $1 to s3.
 The following are the hunters who have collected Norwich bounty so far in the present year and the number or foxes credited to each A. E. Wood worth 4, Charles Allen 2. E. C. Gay z, and the following one eack: M. r. Pounch, James B. Cole, R. F Potter E. Holden.
 About Bounty.
 The matter of increasing the bounty on foxes interests all fox hunters Most of them are opposed to the pro- posed increase. There are few fox hunters who follow the sport of chase for the gain there is in it. Some of them assert that the foxes are decreasing in number in this state from natural causes-the building up of localities hitherto uninhah1ted ana the clearing of large areas of wood land Fox hunting was more com mon years ago when the chances or profit were much less than at the present time. when the belts sell rom $6 to ss against s2 and $3. the price paid for corresponding belts a few years ago. The hunters antici- pate that the price will continue to advance as the number of foxes de- creases. Foxes are unlike Skunks and muskrats, and if kept in captivity. even on a large area, their belts, in the language of the fur dealers. never be- come prime
 Digging Out Foxes.
 The digging out of a litter of young foxes, which usually numbers from five to seven is sometimes undertaken

Medical Missionary Describes Condi- tions in South china-M eetina of Reading CircIe-lnvitations to City Services.

Miss Marriot, a medical missionary in South China, held the interested attention of those who heard her speak at the First Methodist church Tuesday evening She told of the great need of physicians in China and the gratitude Of the people for their services The methods of the quack doctors often are crude, and instead of being help fu1 result in permanent injury or death. In one district there is only one medical practitioner, and she not a. regular physician, among a million people The people in Miss Marriots district. which is three days journey from Foochow. have raised $3,0oO to- wards the sum needed for hospital. She spoke of knowing Rev. E. H. Smith, as she is so near Foochow, where he is stationed.
 No one drinks cold water which is fortunate. as the water is impure. Large quantities of tea are used. They use preserves which have been kept buried in the ground forty years in stone jars. sealed with mud. As Miss Mafriot was leaving she was given & farewell tea; the tea was 150 years old and the eggs 4e years old. The repast tasted like ashes. The ignorance of the common people is illustrated by tile fact that many Chinese do net know that Peking is the capital of China. Word came this week of g great revival there, resulting in many conversions, which will be blessing to that region.
