Rev, DR.. ] W. Duffy Delivers
Strong Sermon in Christ
Church Last Night

The evangelistic services uniting
the Protestant churches of the city in
an effort to quicken and save chris
tians and non-christians respectively,
is certainly accomplishing the former
if not the later end.
Last night, despite the severe
wes,her. Il good congregation was
present at Christ Church and list
ened to strong sermon by DR.. J. W
Duffy of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South.
The service tonight will be held in
Trinity Episcopal Church, and the
speaker will not be announced, &C
'cording to plan agree on by the
Ministerial Association. 1t was
thought that this procedure would
work out better results in the end
and that the attention of the people
would be rather conferred on the con
tents OF the vessel than the vessel.

The easy way the pleasant way, is to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets that quickly restore appetite and build up the worn-out body by the perfect as sinilation of food.
 These little digestors are powerful, pleasant, and produce almost immedl- ate digestion of any meal. If you will use them occasionally you will quickly learn what a joy food really is. One cannot hope to help nature by eating food from which a weakened digestion cannot take the ingredients it needs
 The only way is to put these in- gredients in a pure form into the body. Then when they are absorbed the sys- tenn at once starts rebuilding and is enabled to soon perform it's proper and perfect functions.
 StUart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the very essences most demanded and desired by the body to do it's work of taking nutrition from food.
 As soon as the stomach is enabled to stop food decay and balance it's gastric juices, then raw stomach gas, foul breath, catarrh, heartburn, bowel trouble, etc, disappear. The result is always the same. This fact alone is what has made Stuart's Dyspepsia T Tablets the greatest dyspepsia and stomach remedy ever sold. They are on sale at every drug store and you may obtain a box anywhere. Price 50 cents.

SHORE LINE ELECTRIC'S
 OFFER FOR FARM BUREAU.
Made by President Perkins on Behalf
 of the Road.

Exactly what the Shore Line Elec- tric Railway company offered in con- nection with the establishment of the proposed New London county farm bureau is explained in a letter Presi- dent Robert w. Perkins has addressed to Woodbury Q. Rogers, chairman of the farm bureau of Connecticut of the Norwich Mems Business association.
 President Perkins stated the offer of the road as follows:
 The Shore Line Electric Railway company is prepared to guarantee $1,000 of the funds necessary to start this organization, half of this amount to be an unconditional contribution towards the first years expenses, the other $500 to be contributed provided the organization which you create is not strong enough to take care of the first years expenses, which the state department estimates should not be less than s3,O00 And since it is the opinion of the state department that such a project should have at least two years in which to prove it's eff ciency, we go further and agree to make a positive contribution of $500 for the second year. I think the sue cess of such an organization will be better assured by having large hum Der of small contributors rather than q small number of large contributors, for it is 8. subject that should secure cooperation of practically all the pro- ducers and consumers of the country.

CONSTRUCTION AND ROAD
 WORK FOR NEW COLLEGI
May Begin Any Time Now, Says
 President Sykes,

Construction of roads and other pre- liminary work on the grounds of the Connecticut College for Women ara likely to begin any time now. accorG- ing to President Frederick II. Sykes. When started. they will be pushed with rapidity, he said. It is expected that the campaign for funds which has been carried on throughout the stale for several months will bear fruit within q brief period. That the trec- >tion of several buildings will begin this spring, and that the college will open it's doors to students in Septem~ Der, 1915, are assured facts.
 Williams Memorial institute of New London will follow the plan already started by high schools in several cities of the state to raise funds for a scholarship at connecticut college to aid worthy graduates to obtain high CT education. The movement was in augurated by Prof. Colin $. Buell. at the Dickens lecture given by PfesI- dent Frederick II, Sykes Wednesday evening. Professor Buell. explained the manner in which scholarships are be- ing raised in other schools and urged New London not to be behind other cities. AL the close of the lecture cards were distributed to be enclosed with remittances for the scholarship fund.

JUDGE REED DENIES BRAY DIVORCE
Decides ntolerable Cruelty Was Not Proved Against Mrs.
 Adelia Bray of New London-Husband Was the Peti- tioner-Target For Dishes and Flat Irons He Claimed.

Judge Joel H. Reed heard the con- tested divorce action of Maynard L.. Bray against Adelia Bray both of New London, in the superior court in that o1ty Thursday. The plaintiff was seek Ing the divorce on the grounds of in tolerable cruelty and asked the GUS tody of four minor children, three boys and one girl, the oldest of which is l4 years of age. The plaintiff is chief engineer on J. J. Hills steam yacht Wacouta, which winters at Shaw s cove.
 Judge Reed denied the petition for divorce and also for custody, stating that intolerable cruelty had not been proved against Mrs. Bray. Before this the judge had called the attorneys in the case together and spoke to them upon the advisability and desirability of getting the couple to smooth over their difficulties and resume their home relations on account of the children.
 MT. and Mrs Bray were married in Stonington, Me. Dec. 27, 1891. They have been residents of New London since 1909
 At the morning session of the court the plaintiff testified that his wife was abusive and that on various occasions she had thrown dishes, scissors. flat irons and other articles when she was in one of her passions. On two oc- castons while they resided in Wood bridge street, she had threatened to shoot him. He also testified that he had never heard such profanity and blasphemy from anyone as was uttered by that woman"
 He said that he had been compelled to move from Maine and give up a po- sition paying S75 a month to come to New London and work for S35 a month in order to get away from the constant abuse and cruelty of his wife He was a stationary engineer in Ston- ington and Rockland Me. and when he came from there he secured po- sition as marine fireman.

STATE CLEARING HOUSE
 FOR BILLS FOR PAUPERS.
Some Towns Now EVade Payment, is
 Claim Of Waterbury Man.

At a meeting of the Waterbury board of charities Tuesday night Supt. Freney spoke of the difficulties en- countered in collecting fees from va rious towns in the state for caring for citizens, the Republican mentions. He said the laws of the state provide that unless a person has lived in a town for three years the town does not have to care for him. but the town in which he resided previously is re- sponsible. MT. Freney stated that the system at present was very unsatis factory, and that Waterbury was car ing for many people. for some of whom it was never reimbursed. As a solution of the difficulty he thought the state should act as a sort of clearing house for the towns of the state and see that bills for caring for the citizens of oth- CT towns be paid.
