FINISH ROAD CONTRACTS
 DURING THE sUMER.
Highway Commissioner Intends te
 Push the Work Along.

Highway Commissioner Bennett will have all contracts for road con- structlon in the state finished dur ing the coming summer This will not include the repair work. It is his aim to have his work so ad- vanced that he will be able to devote his time in the fall to the preparation of plans for work to be begun in the spring of 1916. He sees a pecuniary advantage to the state in awarding the contracts in the winter when out door work is suspended. At that sea- son he can secure contracts at figures from 10 to 15 per cent. less than in the spring. He does not expect to be improved highways this year as last, when he had to complete a great deal of work pertaining to unfinished contracts.
 For nearly two years the high way department has been unusually missioner in the general oversight of the work will be appreciated when the fact is stated that he has driven his automobile more than 45,000 miles. He will complete this year the work on the trunk line from Portchester, N. Y., to the Rhode Island state, line at Westerly. This road will traverse the state along the shore and will be more than 100 miles in length. It will be the most important work of the year.
 Contracts now running in this end of the state are the following:
 R. G. Miller Co.,, Bolton Coventry, s22,5o0; New Milford, $s,000, $19,163, $s.421:s A. Vito Cons. O., stoning- ton, $s.Oo0, $47,o0o. A. B. Caldwell East Lyme, $s,000. c. W.

Rheumatism Soon
 Becomes Chronic
The Result of Tired Kidneys Failing to Expel Poisonous
 Waste Matter.

Tired, overworked kidneys allow poisonous uric acid to remain in the blood instead of eXpelling it from the system. That is the cause of chronic rheumatism. The disease gets into some joint or group of muscles and settles there, and only strenuous treatment will dislodge it.
 Rheurna softens the uric acid crys- tals lodged in the joints and muscles, causing the terrible pains, and passes them out of the system through the kidneys and bowels.
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. Unless it is pure the organs become diseased. Rheuma purifies the blood and the kidneys, then regain their natural activity.
 Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma at price so inexpensive that it is folly to be without it.

Keep the Children
 Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be healthy. The digestive organs of children get out of order as readily as do those of their elders, and the result is equally distressing. When the bowels are clogged with an accumula- tion of refuse from the stomach the child naturally becomes cross and fretful from the discomfort, and is often punished for tenn per when medical attention is really what is needed.
 The next time yoCr child is cross and unhappy, without ap- parent reason, try giving it a mild laxative. Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is a mild, pleas ant tasting combination of sim pie laxative herbs with pepsin, and is especially recommended for children because of it's free dom from all opiate or narcotic drugs and its gentle action. It is sold in drug stores every where. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 452 Washington St, Monticello. Ills.
