BANISH INDIGESTION
 WITH PHOSHO- -PEPSIN

A gnawing, burning sensation in the region of the stomach, palpitation Of the heart, lack of ambition, impaired appetite-all are symptoms of indiges- ton, and unless given proper atten- ton, frequently lead to that terrible affliction-chronic dyspepsia
 Phospho-Pepsin is ideal for all stom- ach upsets whether slight or serious It is a perfectly balanced combination of clements necessary to produce a healthy, normal condition in the di- gestive tract and the very first dose will bring speedy relief. It ends stomach misery by absorbing the gas and neutrahZing excess acid.
 Phospho-P -Pepsin is in tablet form, easy to take and readily assimilated by the gastric juices. It goes right to the seat of trouble-the stomach and large intestine gently Stimu- lates the digestive tract so that it can properly perform it's work. Phospho- Pepsin contains the greatest elements known to science for indigestion and for restoring complete health tC the entire digestive tract, and a single dose contains enough pure pepsin tC digest nearly an entire meal. There is nothing like it-nothing to take its place-nothing that is so rapid, SC sure in it's results.
 Phospho-Pepsin is sold by any goo( 1 druggist, such as Lee & Osgood Co.

Good Little Ladx Beetle.

Bulletin 1S1, January, 1914, on Some Common Lady Beetles of Connecti- cut has been issued by the Agricultural Experiment station of this state.
 It states that on the whole lady beetles are of great benefit to plant growers because they feed upon and destroy many noxiouS insects, es- pecially plant lice and scale insects. There are about 250 different kinds in this country and over 30 in Connecti- cut. Many persons do not recognize them as friends. They should not be destroyed. In Connecticut two kinds feed commonly upon the San Jose Scale. Most kinds are more or less hemiSpherical in shape. red. yellow or black in color and spotted. Exceptions exist of course. The only species causing prominent injury in Connec- ticut is the squash lady beetle which deVours squash leaves.

VOTING MACHINES RENTAL PRICE SI
Sum Named by City Meeting for Use of Town Machines Town Wants $10O-Cty Meeting Votes to Adopt Ma chimes but Cuts Down Rental Price.

The vote was about to be taken when Edward Kirby arose from a seat at the side of the hall and near the front and said that he wanted to offer an amendment, for while the price named seemed to be small, he believed the city ought to secur the use of the machins for a nominal sum and he moved an amendment to make 1t S1
 instead of $100. He argued that a
 good proportion of the city peoples
 money paid in as taxes was represent
 ed in what had been paid when the
 town bought the machines. His re-
 marks were applauded as his amend
 ment was seconded.
 Mayor Murphy started to tell MT.
 Kirby that S100 was the price that the selectmen had given and to ask
 what the city would do in case the selectmen refused to rent the ma chimes for a dollar, when MT. Kirby broke in with the remark that he thought that would be up to the se- lectmen. He said he thought they ought to loan the machines to the city inasmuch as the city had paid foI about eight-tenths of the cost of the machines. If the selectmen don't want to let them, we can do something else They say they are not much use anyway in some localities MT. Kirby
 remarked as he sat down amid ap- | plause.
 On the vote there was a strong 1 chorus of Ayes for the amendment ] and a few Noes against it. 1 One ballot was then put into the i box for the amended motion, being cast by the corporation counsel. anC l the meeting adjourned after a sessior l of less than half an hour. After the meeting the corporation counsel said that a town meeting coult settle the price at which the ma | chimes could be rented to the city 1 and that the city was not embarrassed | by the vote that had been passed 1T | case it could not get the town ma | chimes for a dollar. There was 2 clause in the motion that called fol
 adopting voting machines provided thu | ones in usue by the town could bt | secured If it were not for tha | clause, the vote might have compelled 1 the city to go out and buy machine! ] if they could not hire those from th' 1 town.
 ! A. s. Spalding, who is clerk for thu | selectmen, came into the building af 1 ter the meeting was over and learned | the vote. He remarkd that it cos
 tn town S10O a year to store the tel
 machines.
 In a city election only seven ma
 chimes would be required.

BUILDING BUSINESS

Recently, a large store of very honored name became insolvent and passed into the hands of a new owner-an energetic young man.
 Little was left to the business but the good name. There were strong stores all around it.
 The first thing this merchant did was to emphasize in his ad- vertising that he kept we'll known, popular, advertised arti- cles-mentioning those adver- tised in the local newspapers by the manufacturers.
 He did not advertise them at a cut price. lie merely let it be known that he carried them and would give good service.
 That was a few months ago. Already the business has started to revive to an extent that cOm- petitors are sitting up and talk ing notice.
 This man makes it a rule to mention every day in his ad- vertising the name of some we'll known, branded article that he carries-a name that stands for character in the mind of the public.
