FOREST FIRE LOSSES

At this time of year much damage is annually reported from forest fires This is a matter affecting not merely the localities where these fires occur; The heavy damages of this kind have done a great deal to reduce the sup ply of lumber, thus adding to the cost of all building operations
 Also in many sections woodland is owned by farmers, and it's increase in value is often a large part of the profit in their business. If this grow ing reserve is wiped out. the losers become disgdsted with land holding. and go into other occupations. At 9 time when efforts are being made to encourage people to go back on the soil and increase the food supply such losses are doubly unfortunate.
 The match or cigar end or camp fire may start a conflagration de- stroying many thousands worth of property. When so mueh8capita1 goes up in smoke, it is a blow to the ir1- dustry of the country If the forest is owned by farmer. he has that much less capital for development of his land and increase of his food pro- ductions

Common Sense Advice By a Distin-
 guished Specialist.
 'tAcid'' stomachs are dangerous be- cause acid irritates and 1nflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to probably nine-tentas of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Ordinary medicines and [medi- cinal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach. as dangerous as ever- The acid must be neutralized, and its formation pre- vented, and the best thing for this pur- pose is a teaspoonfu1 of bisurated magnesia, simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only netitrahzes the acid, but also prevents the fermentation from which acfdity is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause distress may be eaten with impunity if the meal is fol- lowed with little bisurated mag nesia, which can be obtained from HindIe Drug Store. Main and State Sts or any druggist and should always be kept handy.-Adv.

 Tells Pathetic story
 Abbie M wheeler, who now lives in Simsbury, cried when she was on the witness tsand before Judge Futile in the superior court at Hartford Fri day, giving testimony in support of her petition for divorce from John A Wheeler of Wfnsted She was about 16 years old when hhe was married to Wheeler on February S15. 1904, and they lived together until 1910. They had three children. In 1910, the factory in Winsted where Wheeler worked was burned, and Wheeler made known thai he was coming to Hartford to seek work iIIe was there two weeks and then he returned to his mothers house in Wansted and make known to the wife that he was not going to live with her any more Once since that time she saw him and he spoke to her. He asked her to gel a divorce She has had the daughter born of the mar riage in her custody and the two boys born of the marriage have lived with her husband's mother. Mrs. Wheeler said that the boys al not permitted by the grandmother to speak to hef and when they speak of her they men ton her as Miss Wheeler Since the little girl has learned to write she has written the rather, but the father has never acknowledged the ehiId's letters The little girl has also written to her 1.-two brothers, but she never received a response from them The only reason that Mrs. wheeler knew why her hus- band left her was that his mother wanted him to live with her In addi- ton to being granted a. divorce, Judge Futile awarded to the mother the le- gal custody of the little daugh ter now living with her.
