DAUGHTERS ASPHYXIATED
 AND HIS WIFE NEARLY so
Horrible Spectacle That Confronted a
 Belgian at Stamford.

Stamford, Conn, Dec. 19.-Mrs. Oc- taaf Picters, wife of a Belgian refu- gee who was discovered almost dead from illuminating gas in their apart ment in a rooming house here last night where her two infant daughters lay dead in bed from the same cause, was still unconscious, it was said at the hospital tonight and her chances for recovery are thought to be slight.
 She was found by her husband when he went to the house to take his fam fly to a small home which he had just furnished for them.
 The woman had been in the coun- try but short time. T'hp authorities believe that in her unfamiliarity wiht gas lighting she had blown out the light instead of turning it off, as the gas was pouring into the room from a wide open jet, when Pieters with the assistance of neighbors broke in.

five thousand dollars for a swimming pool at the Y. M. c. A. building will meet for final report, and it is ex- pected that practically all of the amount needed will be reported in as pledged. At the last lunch, Thursday, over $4,o0O had been raised, and there are some out-of-town residents yet to be heard from.
 The Ladies' auxiliary of the insti tuition, at its meeting Friday, voted to give one hundred dollars toward this project, and it is likely that sev- eral other organizations, or at least a considerable number of individual women may feel inclined to aid, as the pool will be available for their use as well as the use of the men, if there is sufficient demand expressed.

IS YOUR STOMACH

Lee 2 OsEOOd Guarantee to Return the Money if Mi-O-na Does Not Relieve You.

You.
 Its a pleasure to sell a medicine when our customers come in afterward and tell us how much good it has done them" said Lee & OsgOod, the popular druggists. to a Bulletin man, and that IS why we like to sell and recommend Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia remedy The distribution of samples that we made created much talk and so large a proportion of those who received a sample have bought a box of Mi-o-na that our clerks have been busy selling the medicine ever since. We have so much faith in this article that we are going to guarantee it in the future and will return the money to any pur- chaser of Mi-O-na whom 1t does not help. That may seem rash, but our customers have said so many good words in its favor that we do not ex- pect to have many packages returned.
 Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose food does not digest well, and who has to take thought as to what he can eat and when, can leave 50 cents deposit at our store and take home a box of MI-O-na and if the remedy does not regulate his digestion and help his dys- pepsia he can withdraw his money I don't know but what we would be willing to pay him interest"
 This shows great faith in the merit of Mi-O-na. It is really a most unusual medicine and the rapid increase of sales since Lee & Osgood introduced it in Norwich shows that it does all that 1t is claimed to dO-reieves dyspepsia regulates digestion and enables those who use It to eat just what they want with no fear of trouble after.

 This question has been before the town officials for some time, and First Selectman E. P.
