In the town court Monday morning four cases were presented before Judge Fl H. Burnham. The men were ar rested after a general brawl Saturday evening. There were three Poles and a Russian. They were given fines ranging from $5 to s15 and costs, which were paid in each case.

Now Are fhe Days
 Children Need Care
Summer Heat Dangerous to Little Ones Whose Bowels
 Are Neglected.

A mother cannot do better for her children than to teach them from their earliest days regularity of the bowels Regularity can be promoted without the child knowing it by watching it's food and by SO varying the food that all the clements of digestion are used, when nature will do the rest. The future health of the child depends upon this.
 But try as you will there are times when the little one will become con- stfpafed and bilious. In hot weather immediate attention is necessary SIS many serious diseases result from stuffed-up bowels. Don't give salts or catharties or purgafives, as they are too harsh but give a gentle, pleasant-tasting bowel stifauiant like Dr. CaldWelrs Syrup Pepsin. It has been used by the children of this as well as q former generation. and thou sands of families are proud to speak well of it. among WIlem we can men ttcn Mrs. Louise Rsynoids, 90s Jack son St. Lynchburs, va~ wfs is glad to reco<nmend it. and Mir Chas.

It began to become worse and the blisters seemed to break and run to- gether. When they broke it would make raw sore and then she would have terrible crying spells. The blisters filled with water. She was not old enough to scratch herself but when rubbed it she would stop crying and keep perfectly quiet. Her clothing seemed to irritate it and she would be rest less and fretful. She also had real scurvy head.
 "I was told it was eczema and I tried everything but it did no good. One day friend of mine told me to get a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint- ment. It was not week before noticed she was much better. If she began to cry would undress her and put Cuticura Oint- ment on her chest which would stop her crying at once. used the Cutieura Soap and Ointment six weeks and the eczema was gone. She has never been bothered since. (signed) Mrs. A. O. Haslan. Jan. 31. 1914.

Ptomaines are dangerous chiefly because
they move in such mysterious ways their
wonders TO perform. They are OF such
a shy and retiring nature that nobody
knows Just what caused them, where to
look for them or how to avoid them, and
the confusion that results is made just
a little more confused by the close re-
semblance Of other and less harmful
germs and symptoms to the chief of
their tribe
But one thing about ptomaines has been
established beyond question. They are
born of putrefactlon, they live in Nth
and their favorite breeding ground Is
animal refuse or, falling that, decayed
meat tissues.
The connection between ptomaines and
shellhsh Is obvious. Shellhsh are all
scavengera. The more delicious they are
the more open-minded and catholic they
are sure to be in food matters.
Severe cases of ptomaine poisoning re-
sulting from shell1sh have done much to
spread the idea that they are dangerous.
Therefore some people avoid them alto
gether: others eat them unfortunately
and trust to providence to stand between
them and the consequences Lobsters,
crabs, oysters CLAIMS or shrimps taken
from waters contaminated with the
| sewage of a city or a large town are
| always dangerous. The sewage is thick
with animal refuse and the crustaceans
are as sure to get II as they are to be
served up in our restaurants and lobster
palaces thousand may be eaten with
out harm, while the Observation-Disclosures,
looking exactly like his neighbors, may
be reeking with ptomaines.
The only insurance against ptomaines
that the shelhsh eater can depend upon
| is absolute knowledge; first. that the
| savory morsel Is fresh; second, that he
camo from clean waters.
The first condition can be met by buy
ing the shellheh alive. II they are for
the home table, or insisting upon ade.

and age If they are ordered at res.

If you cannot live without oysters ir
| a big city, you are comparatively safe
II you eat them only at a place which
guarantees its whole supply as bens
from uncontaminated waters and which
opens the oysters freshly for each order
