GIVES UP HIS JOB
SeIeCtmen Raise Bond to High
Figure After He Disappears

Unable to obtain a new bond from
the Massachusetts Bonding company,
Town Treasurer Thomas Haynes has
sent in his resignation to the town OF
birmingham, Mass.
His resignation was sudden, but,
in spite of this, Chairman Rice Of the
board of selectmen said he was in
formed by Town Auditor Lord that
Haynes accounts are in order.
The reason for the refusal Of the
Massachusetts Bonding company to
renew Haynes bond is unknown to
Rice. He says people Of the town
may have theories, but he has not
been officially Informed of the reason
for the bonding company's action.
Notwithstanding these, statements
the selectmen raised the bond of the
town treasurer from $25, 600 to SIS, =
600 and voted to employ a certified
public accountant.
The tOWnspeople are still wonder
ing as to the whereabouts Of Haynes
and are specializing on the cause OF
his resignation, which the selectmen
laid on the table.

YOU they never knew a remedy to
prove SO decidedly beneficial in the
treatment of indigestion, dyspepsia,
palpitation, sleeplessness and other
forms of stomach trouble.
1t certainly ought to give you con-
tidence when you know that every
soc. box of SEAVER'S DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS contains 20 days treatment,
and at the end Of that time if you are
not decidedly bene flied all you need
to do is to go back to the dealer and
get your money. SEAVER'S DYS
PERSIA TABLETS are sold right on
their own merits. They cure indi-
gestlon simply by toning up the
stomach aud digestive organs so that
the food will assimilate and give
strength to the system just as nature
intended. SEAVER'S DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS are such a good nerve
tonic, too. Just try box and see i
: it don't give you new energy, new
ambition and new courage to carry
out your plans and daily work. If i
