THE PRICE Of SUCCESS .

Many people pay terrible price fol success, sacrificing for it health and. hap. piness. Neurasthenia, atypicaIly Ameri- can disease, IS due to worry over the struggle for success more than to anv other one thing.
 Neurasthenia is condition of nervc- exhaustion in which the system fails to recuperate after unusual demands upon it's nervous energy. It's symptoms are oyer-sensitiy eness, irritability, disposi- ton to worry over trifes, headache, pos sibly nausea.
 The treatment is one of nutritionof the nerve cells, requiring a non alcoholic tonic. AsSthe nerves get their nourish- ment from the blood the treatment must be directed towards building up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly OH the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest bene- fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your. own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Begin the treatment today before Tcur condition becomes chronic.

Appetite Follows
 Good Digestion

Nearly everyone indulges their appetite and the digestive organs are abused, resulting in conges- ton of poisonous waste that clogs , the bowels and causes much misery , and distress.
 The most effective remedy to correct this condition is the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs !, with pepsin, known as Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. This is na-
 tural, pleasant-tasting remedy, gentle yet positive in action, and quickly relieves indigestion, consti- ] patton, sick headache, belching, etc. Drug stores sell pr. Caldwell's
 Syrup Pepsin at fifty cents and one
 dollar a bottle, and in thousands
 of homes it is the indispensable
 family remedy. For a free trial bottle write Dr. W. B. Caldwell,

 DRAFT FORM OF
 CLUB LICENSES

The committee appointed at a meeting of the county commissioners yesterday to draft a form of applica- ton for club liquor licenses has dis cussed the matter informally and practically agreed upon a form to be submitted at the next meeting, which will probably be within a, week. Com missioner John Brophy of this coun- ty is a member of the committee which also comprises Commissioners Walter of, New Haven and Potter of Hartford.
 The Fairfield county commissioners were late in arriving at yesterday s meeting, held in the Allyn house, Hartford. A freight wreck near Meriden blocked traffic for two hours and when the local officials reached Hartford the meeting was nearly over. There was a general discussion of ,She club. license law and also of the wholesale and drug licenses.
 The new law, which went into effect August l, provides that only one drug license shall be issued for every 5000 inhabitants. Bridgeport has consi d. erably more than the proportionate number now but the new statute ap plies only to new applications.
