EATING RELIEVES
 STOMACH TROUBLE
A Prominent Physicians Advice,

Eat good foods and plenty of them. Dieting, in many cases. is almost criminal. Get back to normal. To do so you must have the proper quantity of nourishment. You need it for brain or physical work Probably there is nothing the matter with your stomach except acidity. That is mere ly an abnormal secretion or acld in the stomach Neutralize that acid and your stomach trouble will end at once. Neglect may mean ulcers if not cancer of the stomach Do not take patented medicines or pepsin tab lets for dyspepsia Simply take ueutralizer of acid. Decidedly the best neutralizer Is ordinary druggists bisurated nagnesia- You can get it at any drug store for few cents Take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water, after each meal. The relief will be immediate.

The Dyspeptic: can a man live
 in a smell like that?"

Taste, sight and smell all have an influence upon digestioI< If one eats something that does not taste good one retards the work of digestion, because the juices necessary to digest the thing eaten will not flow Tn cor rect proportion.
 On the other hand good food wlli always excite the taste through ac- tual contact with the food in the mouth or through the sight or sense of smell, unless the stomach knows that it cannot digest it.
 We thus readily learn that the sim pie act of giving nature the digeStNe e fluids she needs, will bring back an the joys of good eating, and tasting, smelling and seeing dainty dishes will excite a rousing appetite
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are composed of natural ingredients that a worn out digestion simply welcomes with a wild delight. They enrich the stomach juices quickly so that if you want to eat an out t-of-the-ordinary- after-the theatre sort of a dinner, just carry. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let in your pocket, take it after the meal and you will digest that meal.

ODD FELLOWS STRIVING
 FOR BIG MEMBERSHIP.
Hope to Make State Enrolment 3o,-
 GOO in Five Years.


 It is the ambition of the odd Eel lows of this state of Connecticut to have an enrolment of 30,oo0 mem eers in this jurisdiction by April 26, 1919. That may seme pretty good sized contract for an organization that already covers the state so well. but an excellent start has been made and the goal seems. likely of accom- plishment if all the lodges in the state do their best.
 Uncas and ShetuclSet lodges of this city have been making a pretty steady pect to keep up the good work so as to contribute their part in reaching the desired state membership.
 Membership of 23,64S.
 A recent statement from Grand Secretary William s. Hutchinson of New Haven shows that the member ship in Connecticut on Dec. 31, 1913, was 23,64S. That is a gain of 959 for the year and an encouraging evil dence of the fact that the order has been making a steadp and a substan- tial progress. The grand secretary invites the lodges to make a special effort to increase the membership to 24,500 by June 30 next. and that seems to be quite within tho possi- bilities, when the record of the past is considered
 It is not likely that many more subordinate lodges will be instituted in Connecticut in the next few years, there already being 93, and the gain must come very largely through the growth of those that are already in existence.
 The Connecticut membership on June 30, 1913, was 23,319. During the six months there were 698 ini- tiations and the gain in all ways was TAG. There was a loss of 142 by death and 1s3 by suspension. The total loss was AT. leaving a net gain of 329 for the six months.
 During the whole year 1913 the ini- tations totalled 1855 and the deaths so4
