VAGUE GAME LAWS
Get Earl Robbins of East killinsIy Fined for Squirrel Shooting Wednes-

Earl Robbins. an East Killingly youth. was in the town court Thurs day morning, charged with hunting and taking two gray squirrels out of season. It cost him $11.59, the actual costs in the case, but gave opportu- nifty for an explanation that the youth got into the difficulty on account of the vagueness of the text of a game law that led him to believe that We'd nesday was the first day of the open season for hunting squirrels instead of Thursday.
 Robbins arrest was made by Coun- ty Game Warden Arthur Day. It was stated to the court in behalf of the defendant that he made no attempt to conceal the fact he had been hunt ing and had, in fact, told the game warden all about what he had been doing, believing that he had perfect legal right to go out Wednesday.
 Robbins had entered a plea of gull ty, but this plea. was later withdrawn that the case might be continued with out imposing upon him the penalty of forfeiture of license as is required for the period of one year by any person convicted of a violation of the game laws of the state.

 Just make up your mind to help nature help herself. Give your body a chance to make good. Heal the raw edges of your stomach and give your blood the tools to make diges- tive fluids with.
 There is only one way to make the body we'll give it the chance to make itself well. Harmful and strong medicines handicap the system. Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets so into the stomach just like food. They are dis solved and there they straighten the weakened juices of the digestive ap- normal.
 There is nothing mysterious or magical about them. Science has proved that certain ingredients make up the digestive juices. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are these eoneen- is to it. One grain of a certain in greoient contained in Stuarts Dys- pepsta Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of food. This illustrates how you aid nature to restore her worn-out ma teriais. When a stomach which is filled with food receives a Stuart's s Dyspepsia Tablet, it is more able to digest the food than it would be with out it. The work is not so hard nor the task so long.
