glad to see its doors again thrown

the seekers of pleasant cline.

Advice about Stomach Troubles

and how 60 relieve them.
Don't neglect Indigestion, for II
may lead to all sorts OF ills and COM
plications. An eminent physician
once said that ninety-five per cent OF
all ills have their origin in o dis
ordered stomach.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be one OF the most dependable
remedies known for indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredi-
ents are soothing to the inhamed
membranes OF the stomach. Rich
in Pepsin and Bismuth. two of the
greatest digestive aids known to
medicine, the relief they afford is
very prompt. Used persistently and
regularly for short time, they tend
TO relieve pains caused by stomach
disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets help
insure healthy appetite, aid diges-
ton, and promote nutrition. As
evidence Of our faith in them, we ask
you to try them at our risk. If they
10 not give entire satisfaction. we
will return the money you paid US
without question or formality. Three
ises, rs cents, 80 cents and $1.00.

NEW LONDON'S FORMER MAYORS
All Are Opposed the Present Head of the City Govern ment-EGort to Smooth Over the Donohue Case-Well Equipped Fire Department.

There are six ex-mayors living in New London and not one of the half dozen are hdnd-i n-hand with Mayor Mahan in his work for the advance ment of the city on almost gigantic lines. h fact, none are on politically friendly terms with the present chief magistrate although three of the sur yiving six were elected mayor as democrats. The eX-mayOrs are Thomas M. Waller George F. Tinker, Cyrus c. Beckwith, James P. John stOn. NJ. Wilson Dart and Benjamin L. L. Armstrong.
 Waller opposes about everything that AIahan pI IOpOSeS, although he did give a short talk in advocacy of plan for the state 10 take over the big rail- road bridge over the Thames when the matter was given legislative hearing but that is about all
 Tinker is a conscientious gentleman and has had considerable experience in politics. He, too, has opposed many of the Mahan measures, and just at the present time is the plaintiff in pro- ceedings enjoining the city from pay ing the expenses of the delegates to the Deeper Waterways convention, a matter of $450 The delegates were appointed by the mayor by special au- thority granted by the court of com mon council by special vote.
 Beclzwith has been on the outs and the ins with Mahan ever since the lat ter entered the game of politics and showed his elders, such as Waller and Beckwith, a point or two in the game and froze them out A year ago, Beckwith was candidate for the posi- tion of charity commissioner but the democratic council of which Mahan is the head, elected a democrat. Naturally BeckWith believes that Ma han had 8 finger in that pie. The act did not cement the friendship of the two gentlemen.

In practically every process of man ufacturing that I know anything about certain percentage of the raw ma terial goes into the scrap heap, be- cause it isn't available for use in the finished product. The waste" from cotton mills, Used largely by machin- ists and engineers for wiping their engines. is just one illustration
 In all mining whether of minerals or of coal. a considerable part of the material mined goes into dump heaps, because it can't be sold for enough to pay for the cost of saving it. Huge dumps as big as mountains surround every big coll cry, made up largely of broken or dirty coal
 In the great numbering regions the waste of timber is something to make an economist weep. To say nothing of loss from the too high cutting of stumps and the discarding of small tOp-lOgs, more than a quarter of the selected remnant goes into the slab pile or the saw dust heap.
