PLAN FOR FINANCING
 U. s. FINISHING co. Committee Formed to Represent Stock hoIders-WiI Try to Avoid Recei- NarSbia

Stockholders of the United States Finishing company have received a statement issued for the directors by Henry B. Thompson, president, in which after reviewing the causes for the financial diculties of the company, the following suggestions are made:
 The following statement to the stockholders of the United States Fin ishing company has been issued for the directors by Henry B. Thompson president:
 The committee of bank creditors has signifed it's intention to afford the stockholders a reasonable opportunity to protect their own interests. Unless. however, the stockholders avail them selves of this opportunity they must face the prospect of receivership which will probably destroy their equity in the company.
 For the successful maintenance of the company's business and the pro- lection Of the equities of the stock holders, it is essential that the inn paired and withdrawn capital of the company be replaced to a substan- tial amount.
 Informal inquiry among the stock holders has disclosed that it is inn prOrable that enough money can be raised directly from the stockholders to supply the capital needed. The creditors committee has, therefore, re- quested the organization of a stock holders committed who may act di rectly for the stockholders in foTmu- lating and agreeing upon a plan of financing and reorganization. The fol- lowing gentlemen have consented 10 act as such a committee: Henry B. Thompson, president of the United States Finishing company; Francis J. Leavens, president of the Dime Say ings bank of Norwich; Andrew Mc- Lean, president of Andrew Mclean company, Passaic. N. J.. Jesse H. Met calf of Manskuck company of Provi- dence. R. l.
 It is hored that through the agency of this committee a plan may be for mUlated which, while duly recogniz- ing the respective equities of the var ious classes of creditors and stock holders. will invite new capital and thus place the company on a sound financial basis and avoid a receiver ship. But to accomplish this result it is vital, in the opinion of the directors of the company, that the stockholders shall at once. with substantial unani- mity. commit their interests to the committee, granting it not only the power as the representative of the stockholders to deal with the bank creditors committee but also with those who may be expected to con tribute to the necessary new capital
 To this end the inclosed power of attorney has been prepared. Stock holders will note that they are not to be bound by any plan until after it has been distributed to the stockhOld- CTS, or if after such distribution more than 9 per cent. of either class of stockholders disapproves of it.

LEARN TO EAT Then If Stomach Rebels You
 Need Mi-o-na

One of the great characteristics or the American people is-too rapid eating. The inevitable result or poH- ing our food is indigestion with It's various forms of stomach ills.
 Nothing makes life so miserable, or interferes so widely with the useful ness of the average American as dys- pepsia, the result of indigestion.
 The quick lunch counters, many restaurants and even some homes are veritable manufacturers of stomach troubles
 It seems useless to say "eat slowly for our best physicians, and publica- tions devoted to health. have been making the same cry for years, yet we don't heed their warnings.
 Since we persist in defying nature help must be given the digestive ma chinery, otherwise serious results will follow.
 Mi-o-na Tablets are a specific for stomach ills. They not only attack the food in the stomach az assist in it's digestion. but go 1artF r. and tone up the entire digestive tr et, restoring it to a healthy conditio4 so that we can eat what we want at any time without distress.
 Take Mi-o-na at the first sign of dizziness, coated tongue, eructating of sour food, or nervousness. Ali the symptoms of stomach distress will promptly disappear, indicating that the digestive machinery is once more running smoothly
 Remember, Mi-o-na' is always sold on money back if not satisfied plan The Lee & Osgood Co. and druggists everywhere. soc for a large box.

 Efforts of the Three Leaders.

The work of the little gospel, or rescue mission, is being carried on by the untiring leaders Thomas Peabody, Charles c. Tracy and Andrew Gard ner. who organized it about two months ago.

Meetings are held several times a week Tuesday and Friday evenings and Sunday morning and eveninf, and all who care to attend are welcomed. At these services there is preaching by the leader, Thomas Pea body, and sometimes speakehS are present from out of town.

PORTION OF LARGER
 OLD COT ELM FALLS.
Tree 164 Years Old Prominent Sight
 in Washington Street.

A portion of the larger of the two old Colt elms on Washington street, opposite the residence of Mrs Louisa Gilman lane, opposite Lowthorpe meadows fell down Sunday night about o'clock with a crash and in terrupted the trolley traffic for short time The history of these two trees Is thus shown by a letter from Cap- tain ETastus Perkins to the late Will liam c. Gilman in August, 1SS9 as fol- lows:
 Sir: A few days ago you inquired of me what I knew of the two elm trees near the home of the late Daniel L. Colt. In answer to to which, when young was informed that my father. Jabez Perkins brought the trees from the woods and set them out as shade to his shop This, l think was about the year l750. computing from my age.
 Yours,
 ERASTUS PERKINS.
 This establishes the face with such accuracy that it may be asserted that the trees are now G913) not less than 164 years old, having been transplant ed to the spot where they now stand in the 91st year of the settlement of the town. They are remarkable not so much for their girth, for they are not the largest elms in New England as for their lofty domelike tops and their widespread interlacing branches. They have had constant attention all their days Deadwood has been clear ed away, weakened limbs have been supported with bolts and chains and sWarms of elm beetles have been fought each year with patient persist ence.
 Tn the summer of 1908 a limb meas uring twenty inches in diameter at its junction with the main trunk sub sided without obvious cause and crashing across the trolley wires and the fence opposite obstructed traffic for several hours.
 Careful measurements of their girth has been made from time to time, the larger one in 1884 having measured 15 feet in circumference. and in 1909, it's circumference was IS feet 6 inches, and the spread of the branches was 150 feet
 About half the tree is affected by the portion which fell Sunday night.

ADDS ONE MORE
TO HTS RECORD. Engineer Charles B. Hotchkiss Pulled Man from the Harbor.

It's getting to be the regular thing now for Charles E. Hotchkiss, engi- neer at the Allen Beeman company plant, to save at least one man a week from the waters of the harbor. He keeps a ladder and rope handy to an swer the calls that he knows are sure to come in that vicinity, but he had need of neither on Sunday afternoon when a bibulous individual who got overheard enabled MT. Hotchkiss to start the week with a rescue. The water was high enough to give him a chance to reach over and grab the soused man and land him on terra firma with a good strong heave.
 The man was thought to be one of the hands on the steamer Chelsea. He deliberately jumped off the dock, al- though number of others tried to prevent him. After swimming around for a while he was glad to be pulled out by Mir. HOtchkiss. But he soon made another jump off into the water and had to be helped out again. As the edge of the dock was high above the water he would have been drowned without someone to give him the last Tiff
