QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
 KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers-
 Drink lots of water.

 the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overWork; they get sluggish; the elfminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth -er, get from your pharmacist about -four ounces of lad -aSalts;' take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, con- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so 1t is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urin- ary and bladder disorders.

 Only Two Arrests For Intoxication.
 In the first third of the month of November there has been but one ar rest for intoXication in Danielson and in the remainder of the town one oth- CT arrest for the same cause. This is somewhat surprising in view of the changing of the town from no-license to license.

HIGH SCHOOL INTERESTS.
Study of Weekly Magazines-Recent
 Dehate-Pupils on Honor List

At a meeting of the Eastern Con-
 necttcut Development committee held
 at the Wauregan hotel, Norwich, Mon
 day, a Putnam business man who was
 present told of the method by which
 the papers of Putnam are given high
 school notes for publication. The idea
 of a school editorial staff was a new
 one to most of those present, but rep
 resentatives from New London and
 Norwich stated that they were going
 to see if the plan could not be adopted
 in those cities. By means of this
 board, which consists of two repre-
 sentatives from the upper classes and
 one from each lower class, working
 under the supervision of the English
 department, the local papers have for two years been supplied with inter-
 esting and reliable accounts of happen
 lngs at the high school.
 In the senior English class, A di- vision, this months oral work is be- ing given up to the study of weekly magazines. Last week and this the Outlook has been the periodical dis cussed. Different pupils are assigned various articles to summarize and the magazine as whole is discussed by the class. Later other weeklies will be studied.
 The alumni reception was held in the school hall last Friday evening. Th school council is still working on the selection of schol pin. Sew cral designs have been submitted and are being considered. Last week Thursday pupils of the high and 6srael Putnam schools were
 entertained by MT. and Mrs. Lindsley and daughter. who gave a talk on the l American Indians.

C., says that her little girl. Marie. had been subject to constipation. and that she found pr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin the best remedy because of its mildness, and now always keeps bottle of it in the house.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs. free from opiates or narcotic drugs ot any kind, and is an ideal remedy for children because of it's mild action and positive effect. Its use tends. to strengthen the impaired bowel action and restore normal regularity.
 1t is important that parents should know of a dependable remedy with no unpleasant after effects, griping or strain. Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepstn
