Quite unexpectedly to himself. Fred erick ". Cary has been elected secre- tary of the American Therrnos Bottle company at it's annual meeting held last week. The election Of MT. Cary comes about partially through the feeling in the company, which is a corporation foreign to Connecticut, that it was desirable to have a local officer here. While with those who have previously been secretary. the office has been largely a nominal ono, MT. Cary has been invited to take an active part in the business, but whether he will do that or not de- pends upon what arrangements can be made with his present interests in the Eaton Chase company
 MT. Cary has decided that in view of his election as secretary of the Thermes company, he will decline to serve as president of the Norwich In- dustria1 Improvement corporation. which has it's annual meeting on March 24. He will then decline re- election should it be offered as he would consider it inadvisable to hold both off1cies.

If the stomach is overwcrI<ed, its muscles become tired and gradually grow weaker and weaker, until they are unable to take care of the food properly. The glands fail to provide the juices necessary to digest the food. Gases form and cause all sorts of pain, misery and wretchedness, as well as extreme danger to the heart.
 It is then that the stomach calls for help. Ordinary medicines are inn possible. They not only fail to help the stomach but inture the entire sys- tenn. Medical men have studied the stomach and have discovered that the digestive juices consist largely of pep sin, hydrochloric acid and nitrogenous ferments. What then, would be more natural than to supply these proper ties artifcially when the stomach Is unable to produce them
 That is the object of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets. These powerful little agents relieve tEe stomach of its bur den, thereby giving it an opportunity to regain its normal strength. They tone up, strengthen and reVitaliZe the secretory glands. mucous membranes absorbing glands and muscular walls They restore to the stomach it's lost powers of digestion so that it can again do it's work without assistance They contain, in concentrated form every element necessary to digest all sorts of food. whether acid or aka line.
 if you experience an oppressive feel ing just inside the lower end of your breast bone and extending upward to- wards your heart do not hesitate an instant. Get Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab lets from the nearest druggist at once and take one Tn a. few minutes the pain will leave you and you will feel better. Take a tablet after each meal for several days and your stomach will once more perform it's duties. All druggists sell them at soc a box.

 Representative Tanner spoke in fa- vor of the resolution as the county owed debt that must be paid and that there should be no nibbling of the matter He considered the recom- rnendation for half mill tax as req soneble, just and warranted.
 The resolution was then put upon its passage and adopted. the only dis senter being Mfr. Haynes.

Special te The Bulletin)

There was meeting of the sen ators and representatives of New London county in the county room, Tuesday afternoon, at the capitol at laying a county tax to meet expenses and to reduce the county debt, as rec commended by the county commission CTS at 8 previous meeting. County Commissioner Moves explained that the county debt was about $s5,0o0 in three notes at four and one-half per cent. held by the Norwich Savings so- ciety and Mariners Savings bank of New London, and that the county as sets were about $30o.oo0. MT. Moves said that the commissioners ill their annual report, submitted three weeks ago. recommended a tax of one-half mill, which in the county grand list of 7S,557. 324 will raise the sum of $SS,27S.sl, and enable a substantial re- duction of the debt. The county def1- cit for the past two years wa-5 $l2- was sS.515.53. He said the credit of the county was good and that there would be no difficulty in hiring money for county purposes, but he did not consider it a good plan for the con duct of the county business. The debt was a small one considering the grand list. but he was in favor of a reduc- ton of the debt and a half mill tax would help amazingly. The report or the commissioners showed of the un
 usual expenses of the past two years by reason of improvements or the county court houses. the jails, and temporary home. which brought the property to the highest standard of modern improvement.
 Representative James R. May of New London was chairman Of the meeting and under the statutes George R. Parsons of Norwich. by virtue of his office as county clerk, was clerk of the session Representative Avery of Groton, in order to get the subject matter in action. presented resolu- ton drawn strictly in accordance with law. The resolutions provided that a tax of one-haf mill on a dollar be levied and that the proceeds be paid to the county treasurer by July i, 1914. The resolution was seconded by Rep resentatfve Lanpfere of Waterford. MT. Avery explained in detail the need of the tax in addition to what had previously been stated.
 In Opposition to Tax.
 In response to a query from Repre- sentative Haynes of Old Lyme, MT. Moves stated that a county tax had been laid but once in twelve years and was made necessary by the increase of debt caused by improvement and additions to county property. Mir. Haynes was the sole objector 10 the tax, passing his objection on the pro- phecy that there was to be state tax and the personal tax was to be abolished: He said this tax was for the benefit of New London and Nor wich and not for the small towns.
 Representative Watson stated that if a personal debt. effort would be made to reduce the interest item. and he fabored like action countywise.
 Representative Betting, of Preston, denied the allegation that the tax was wholly for the benefit of the cities, for the small towns were benefited just as we'll, for all the court and jail and
