The Standard Remedy
in Countless Homes
Relieves Constipation Easily
Without Gripping or
Discomfort

Indigestion and constipation are two
conditions that are closely related and
the cause of much physical suffering
The tendency to indulge ones appe-
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the overtaxed organs
of digestion and elimination. A pleas
antly effective remedy. that will quick
ly relieve the congestion OF poisonous
stomach waste and restore regularity,
is the compound of simple laxative
herbs sold in drug stores for fifty cents
a bottle under the name of DR.. Ca1d-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This is mild,
pleasant laxative tonic, free from
opiates or narcotic drugs, and has been
the standard household remedy in
thousands of homes for many years.
Mrs oliver Young. Merrill, Wis,
writing to DR.. Caldwell, says, she
knows of nothing so effective for reg
ulating the stomach and bowels; since
taking Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin she
feels ten years younger; her work
seems easier and she has regained her
appetite.

HEPTASOPHS,

On January l, 1914, new rates were
into effect. This was for all future
members only and the membership
prior to January. 1914. were kept at
the old rate. This was hardly equit-
able and seemed unjust to the new
members, so after mature considera-
ton and consultation with the best
authorities on insurance in America,
the supreme conclave has decided that
all members must be placed on the
same term table as the new members
since January, 1914. This places all
members on the equal rate, with sew
eral options which they may choose
from as their circumstances may de-
termine, and with the assurance that
the present rates are fully adequate
to pay all liabilities in the future. The
change and options will be explained
at the next meeting. There will also
be election and initiation of two can
didates in Norwich conclave, No. 424.

provision made for the payment of an
increased salary, and to take it from
some other appropriation, was not on
the level. The conditions are un-
changed, even if the amount of SAL
airy has changed. There is hope, how
ever, that when the ordinance passes
the council the minority will let it go
at that, rather than direct the mayor
to call another city meeting and
thresh the matter all over again.
There's some tomfoolery in this sub
Stitution of ordinance business in the
matter of health officer for the city
of New London.
Alderman William n, Harlan has
already been mentioned here as a
torecaster of the council action and
the meeting was calltN for Friday
night, after this correspondence closed
in time to get into place on this page
1t is a safe bet that the council will
adopt the ordinance, for the mapority
has been in favor of the increase in
salary from the start. 1t is not a
party affair, for in this instance AL
derman Harrigan is voting with the
publicans are with the democratic
minority No one doubts the honesty
of the motive of Alderman Harrigan,
who has been in close contact with DR..
Black as health officer, he being the
chairman of the health committee
planned his position very aptly, but
not strictly true. He said: Il am now
serving my second term of three years
as alderman. The first term the peo-
pie called me Honest Bill and now
they say l am Crooked Bill mo no,
not so, was the response. Alderman
Harrigan was a Norwich boy, born and
reared in that city, and the pity is
that his native city has not the ben
eft of his honest public service.
Alderman Perkins has made decIar-
alton that in the event of the passage
of another ordinance to increase the
salary of the health officer that he
would be inclined to make another ap-
peal to the people for the approval or
the disapproval of the council action,
although he very much disliked to in
dulge in child play, unless forced to
by circumstances to make his position
and that of others who were of the
same mind. thoroughly consistent. If
there is another city meeting on this
or prominenence, should be allowed to
the meeting will be fully as largely
attended as on the first occasion. If
such thing does come to pass, it is
probable that the meeting will be held
in the evening, according to the
square deal promise of the mayor.
II so the suggestion of Governor Wal
Ter that all should be given oppor-
tunity to be heard should be observed.
NO one man, no matter what his age
or prominence. should be allowed 60
talk against time, to monopolize the
whole time, just for the sake of fill
busting, and holding the meeting open
until the stores closed on a Saturday
night to give the over worked clerks a
chance to vote on the question. The
five minute rule should be adopted and
strictly observed by every mothers
son who addresses the meeting. That's
one way of giving the other fellow a
chance to be heard.

new LONDON'S CITY MEETING
Now Held in Evening When Few Cannot Govern the Many
Another Effort to Raise Health Officers Salary-Like-
ly TO Result in Another Appeal to the People.

The recent city meeting in the eve
ming, the second to be held in New
London within the memory of the
oldest inhabitants, has struck the pop
ular chord and many are singing the
praises of the mayor who so consider
ately considered the wishes of the
great majority of citizens. 1t was
demonstrated at that meeting that the
people would take more interest in
public affairs if given the chance. The
meeting in the evening was not pleas
ing to the comparatively small bunch
of citizens who in the past have con-
trClled these gatherings at will and
shaped city affairs as seemed to be
to them for the best interests of the
city, and perhaps, once III a great
while. from a selfish or purely per-
sonal standpoint. If these meetings
are held in the evening in the future,
the few will no longer govern the
power is slipping from their grasp.
Even Governor Waller said he fav-
ored the city meeting that would ac-
cOmmOdate the greatest number as it
indicated interest in the success of the
good old city. He said that every
citizen had a right to be heard in city
meeting, provided he kept within or
der. He evidently changed his mind
later on when his long talk was dis
turbed by a restless audience anxious
to get a vote on the main question
before the meeting, and by some, per-
haps, who wanted opportunity to be
heard.

DSlOIc Tie meeting, anu ny SOME, per-
haps, who wanted opportunity to be
heard.
The central labor union has ap-
proved OF the idea of these meeting in
the evenings, as it gave every man
chance to participate, every man who
is obliged to attend to his work at the
hour when the city meetings have been
held in the past, to give his express
sion in public affairs. in which all are
interested. 1t has tendency to remove
anything that borders on class legis-
lation or the prostitution of public
matters to satisfy personal greed. The
Central Labor Union sent delegation
from that body to Mayor Rogers to
urge him in the future to give the
Worklngman a chance in city meet
ing. The delegates were cordially re-
ceived and the mayor again impress
ed them, just as he did in city meet
ing, with what he said was his only
before election promise: Il will give
every man square deal.
1t was supposed that the matter of
Increasing the salary of the health
officer had been settled by the recent
city meeting, when the ordinance to
make the salary $4,000 instead of $1,000
was disapproved. 1t was believed
that the action of that big meeting
would be respected and that the doc
tor would take his medicine and the
job for at least one year more. If
DR.. Black does not desire the office
at the present salary, DR.. Cheney does,
for he has so announced and is an ap-
plicant for the place. The day after
the meeting one who took part promi-
nently in the advocacy of the big in
crease in salary suggested that the
court of common council adopt anoth-
er ordinance with a reduced amount
named as salary. The council has
fallen to the suggestion and accord
ing to Alderman William Harrigan,
chairman of the health committee,
that is just what the council is going
to do. In that way the council, or
rather a majority thereof expects to
put one over on the dear people.
The aldermen who have the desire
to override the direct action of the
city meeting, and still be within their
rights, in the passage of an ordinance
fixing the salary at $4,000, expect that
no appeal will be taken to the people
direct, as in the first instance. But
the principle involved is just the
same, and the councilmen who OPP
posed the original raise, to be con-
sistent, must oppose a raise of even
$1,000 paltry dollars. 1t was argued by
the opponents that no increase was
nrnvided for in the salary budget, no

Aldermanic Reapportionment.

AS they stand at present the Alder
manic districts in this city are grossly
UNEQUAL. When the vote in one is 1884
and in another 22,766, as was the case at
the 1918 election, it is high time for n
change. The scheme Of reappOrtionment
which is to be sent to Albany so arranges
the districts that there will be an average
registration of II 900. That is, it equal
ICES the Districts in size, and so far as
Manhattan is concerned it avoids the pres
ent hodge podge boundaries. by making
the districts practically rectangular.
A further great advantage of this re-
apportionment is that it provides for a
reduction of the board from 73 members
to e.. 1t might have been desirable to
provide for a still smaller board-the
public's feelings would not have been hurt
and the interests of the public might have
been better served. Still, to make the
board smaller by eleven members, while
making the districts practically of size,
will be improvements which should COM
mend the bill carrying these proposals.
That bill is frankly Republican meas
ure. 1t is expected that Republican,
Fusion Board Of Aldermen can be elected
from the proposed new districts in any
normal year. Since fusion board has
been elected from the present districts,
there should be little force in the gerry
mander" arguments which may be ex-
pected to greet the reapportionment.
There will be still less if the public com
pares the good work Of the present Board
of Aldermen with that of some Of its
Tammany predecessors.
