 While passing down one of the back roads near the old John Hall place yesterday afternoon, the rear wheels Of a heavy automobile truck belong ing to McMahon and Flanagan, g. Neriden trucking firm, crashed through the planking of the bridge spanning the stream between the two ronds of the Meriden water works and dropped a distance of three feet into foot or more of water. For tunately, the front wheels of the truck had passed over the weak spot and the motor was undamaged by the shock, the only loss being that of the rear license marker.
 A heavy load of hay, which was Icing conveyed to Meriden for the city, was loaded we'll enough to pre- vent it's falling off into the brook and being spoiled, and after considerable work with jacks, the auto, which has capacity of five tons, was raised and sent on it's way.
 This morning a force of the towns men, under Superintendent Elmer Skinner went down to the bridge and repaired it, the road being paSsable at this point again. The cost to the town will be slight.
 In talking over the matter with a Herald reporter this morning Second Selectman Newton w. Baldwin stated that at the time when this bridge and many other bridges on the back roads were built they were never intended for such heavy traffic as they are now being subjected to. Automobile trucks were not even dreamed of in those days,' said the selectman, ex- Ilaining the great problem with which their introduction into the commercial world has confronted town authori- t;eS.a
 The accident yesterday was the second of it's kind which has occurred in this town in a short time. About two months ago the heavy Cremo Brewing company's truck of New Britain, crashed through one of the Lridges in the eastern section of the town.
 It is the plain of the selectmen to strengthen the majority of those old bridges which are situated on roads where traffic has become heavier dur ing the past few years. with an object of eliminating further trouble of this kind
 The Paper Goods bridge will be re- paired or replaced by new structure very soon, as it Is considered unsafe. Only last week Selectman William H. Gibney engaged one of the engineers at the Berlin Construction company to examine it.

 Manager G. F. Atwater of the New Britain division of the United Electric Light and Water company, in explaining the trouble today, said that wet limb had fallen over the Berlin feed wire near Traut and Hines in New Britain last night, causing a short circuit.

Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde.
veIoped Men and Women.
Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and fee
BILE stomachs who, having tried ad-
vertised flesh-makers, food-fads, phys
ical culture stunts and rub-on creams,
re-; ign themselves to lifelong skinni-
-ess and think nothing will make them
fat Yet their case is not hopeless.
A recently discovered regenerative
force makes fat grow after years of
thinness, and is also unequalled for
repairing the waste of sickness or
faulty digestion and for Strengthening
the nerves. This remarkable discov-
cry is called Sargol. Six strength
giving, fat-producing elements of &C
knowledged merit have been combined
H. this peerless preparation, which is
endorsed by eminent physicians and
used by prominent people everywhere.
1t is absolutely harmless, inexpensive
and efficient
gol should produce flesh and strength
by connecting faults Of digestion and
by supplying highly concentrated fats
to the blood. Increased nourishment
is obtained from the food eaten. and
the additional fats tina, thin people
need are provided. Leo H. Fihe and
other leading druggists supply Sar-
gol and say there is a large demand
for 1t.
While this new preparation has
given splendid results as a nerve
tonic and vitalizer, it should not be
used by nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten pounds OF
flesh.
