MUNICIPAL SUPPORT CT
 PLAY AND RECREATION
Statistics Secured by Those Interest.
 ed in Plan for Norwich.

One of the special petitions to come before the annual town meeting will be petition which is supported by the Norwich Fairgrounds association for an appropriation of $3,OOO for the fairgrounds work and for physical training in the public schools It will be proposed that the playgrounds work be assumed by the town hereafter and that it be in charge of the town school committed.
 In connection with this proposal, those interested in the petition have been ascertaining what other cities are doing in the way of municipal SUD- port of play and recreation.
 In 1913, according to reports sent to the Playground and Recreation As- sociation of America, 57 New England towns and cities of over 5000 inhab- itants supported playgrounds at pub lie expense. Thirty eight of those re- porting were in Massachusetts and 10 in Connecticut These last were Bridgeport, Hartford, Middletown, Naugatuck. New. Britain, New Haven, New London, Stamford and Water bury. Of the 57 in New England 26 have a population smaller than that of Norwich. The list includes prac- tically all the larger cities of Massa-
 The cities given below of about the size of Norwich (above 15.000 and un- der 30,000), spent at least $1,5OO for playgrounds. In few instances is the public appropriation less than SS,00o when the appropriation for physical culture is added, as proposed in Nor wich. The population and sum spent for playgrounds in 1913 is indicated: ::
 Beverly. Mass, 1S,650, S2.s00: Brook line, Mass. 27,792 S3387S Gncludes maintenance of gymnasium and baths): Chicopee. Mass, 25.401, s1, ,62a.- 2s; Meriden, Conn, 27,2s5. s17O6 (some private funds); Montclair, N. J., 21.- $50, s3,077: Orange, N. J.. 2S,H3O, s5,079.72; Peabody, Mass, 15,721, s4.- 900; Plainf1eld, N. J.,--20,50O s2,20O; Waltham, Mass. 27,S34, s4,S50.25 (small portion private funds).
 By having a year-round director of recreation operating play and recrea- ton ycenters and instituting physical culture in the schools, Norwich can have a most efficient department ex- tending the benefits of health and good play conditions to every part of the town during all seasons of the year Experience has shown that the com munities that have made good health and play for the children matter of year-round administration have shown the best results in their school work and in the quality of their neigh borhood life.

build up the WORKOUT body by the
perfect assimilation of food.
These little digestors are powerful,
pleasant, and produce almost imme-
date 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 weak
ened digestion cannot take the in
gradients it needs.
The only way is to put these in
gradients in a pure form into the
body Then when they are absorbed
the system at once starts rebuilding
and is enabled TO soon perform its
proper and perfect functions.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the very essence most demanded and
desired by the body to do its work of
taking nutrition from food
AS soon as the stomach is enabled
TO stop food decay and balance its
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 Dys-
pepsia Tablets the greatest dyspepsia
and stomach remedy ever sold. They
