ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS?

Do you find your breath bad in the morning, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, a mean feeling in the head?
 Constipation, which these symptoms denote, is dangerous because it means that poisonous materials which should have been expelled from the body are being retained. It is condition which, if not corrected, becomes chronic.
 The remedy is to stimulate the liver by the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative pills that do otgripe or purge but simply assist nature. Taken regularly for 8 time, they really do correct constipation.
 Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y., for free sample or set full-sise, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets from your own druggist.

 'The case was assigned for trial in September. 1912, but was postponed. At the time for the second trial, the towns attorney, Mr. Delaney, of New Britian telephoned to Mir.

was any prospect of ever collecting the back taxes charged to the Swift Waters company. concern WAlch has been out of existence for some years.
 MT. Stevens referred the questioner to the tax collector. who began his remarks by stating that in his opin ion, 1t was up to the examining board to make all explanations of it's report. He told, however, that he had placed the bill against the Swift Waters com pany in the hands of a New Britain attorney for collection. He under stood that the latter had collected 1t, although as yet he had not received the money.
 Lawyer Kept Taxes.
 Committeeman Deming stated that he had inquired of the New Britain attorney to whom MT. Austin had reference The lawyer had explained to him, he said, that, inasmuch as MT. Austin had a running account With him. he didn't owe him any thing on the bill in question:
 Tn defence, the tax collector said
 
 ney's hands something like three years ago, but that he had never em- ployed him as personal counsel until last July
 MT. Spooner asked if anything had been done towards making the trolley company pay half the cost of the concrete work under the railroad bridge. MT. Stevens replied that Mr. Gibney had told him that tho trolley company had promlse0 to pay.
 Verbal Contract With Trolley Co.
 Selectman Gibney explained that. in a verbal contract, the trolley com pany agreed to pay for a nine foot strip of the concrete; two feet on either side of the rails and between them. This is required by the law, he said. We expect to collect for that much" said the seicctman, "but We can't compel them to pay one-half the job.'
 In subsequent discussion on the dimensions of the concrete roadway, Mr. Spooner took issue with Mr Gib- ncy on the matter of the width of the roadway under the bridge. He doubt cd the selectman's statement 10 the effect that it was thirty-tve feet wide
 filling Takes Floor.
 Judge Willard I Allrng was given the floor. Referring to statement in Mr. Austin's reply to Mir. Spooner, he Ventured that it might be d good plan for the tax collector to put all the accounts on his books into the hands of his attorney for collection. He said that if MT. Austin's attorney had refused to pay him the amount of the collection, he made himself liable to being disbarred from practice.
 EX-Representative Dan.eI Webster asked the committee if it was neces- sary to have two treasurers to dis purse the towns money; one for the town in general and one for the school committee. MT. Stevens considered it an unfair question to ask the commit l tee, stating that all voters had their own personal vIews on that subject. There was something in the statutes regarding that matter, he thought.
