What Gan I Do For
 Nervous Indigestion?

When your nerves go wrong they al- ways seem to strike at your weakest spot When this spot happens to be the stomach nervous dyspepsia often results appetite vanishes and gives way to dull, dread, uneasiness and hollow, gnawing feeling that keeps up until every nerve in the body seems on edge. The food you force down don't digest properly, and you're all in-down and out for one day at least so far as being really useful to your self or anyone else is concerned
 It is the height of folly to attempt to force the digestion of food with some pepsin pill when it's the stoma oh nerves that are in need of treatment
 If your nerves have reached the point where your daily diet no longer furnishes the necessary vitality-if the ravages of overWOrk, worry or illness have left you irritable, weak and ner- vous-if your sleep is disturbed, your digestion upset-you may do well to consider whether the scientific ele- ments of Margo Nerve Tablets will show you the way back to healthfuI activity.
 If yours is case nervous dyspep- sia where the stomach needs strength enlng ana the nerve cells should be charged with boise, power and reserve energy, just try taking Margo Nerve Tablets for a short time and see the results. The Clark & Brainerd Co.,. and other good druggists sell Margo Nerve Tablets with an absolute guar antee that you get your money back if they do not help your nerves to a satisfactory degree. (satisfa ctory to fOC). Why go another day feeling as you do when you should have the good health and perfect enjoyment of life that is every mans right.

PUBLIC SERVICE

One of this city's most prominent business men told the following story this morning about his experiences of last night, saying it might be fittingly headed: The Public Be -
 With my wife I left my home on West Main street on the inbound troll ley at 6:45 o'clock to keep an engage Inent in Hartford. The conductor in formed me twice that we would con- meet with the Hartford car. Yet as we went down the west side of Main street that car pulled out We walked to the depot. The 7:20 o'clock dinky was late. Back we went for the troll ley and waited until 7:37 o'clock. Then we found that instead of taking the usual route the car went via. Chestnut street.
 Trouble still followed us, for the car was so dirty that the conductor ordered it sent back to the barn. His order was reversed by the starter and the car was sent to Hartf ord without heat.
 We went to the Hartford depot to get the 11:30 train and found people there who had been waiting slhce 10 o'clock to take the 1o:5O traln, which had not yet started. i!nally, at 12:15 o'clock the train pulled out. It wheezed along untll flmWood was reached, where the en- zine froze up and necessitated ten P11nute wait. At Newington the lo- comotive again failed and we had an other wait of about fifteen minutes. we finally pulled into ~New Britain at l:15 o'clock.

 All of which explains why the speaker suggested the heading for this tale.

BOARD VOTES RAISES.
Public Works Commissioners Rccom-
 mend Advances in Salaries.

HIcnu 4AUtallCCS SHIarICS.
 The board of public works met yes lerday afternoon to take action on ln- creases in salaries for Clerk Harry A. Emmett and Assistant En gincer Ed ward A. McCarthy. Clerk Emmett asked for an increase of $200 year Which would make his annual salary S1,200. Commissioner Thomas Dolan said that he felt that Mr. Emmett was entitled to the increase. Chairman Humphrey and Commissioner DoWncs acquiesced and motion favorable for the increase was passed.
 The communication from Assistant Engineer Mccarthy asked for an in- crease from s1, 400 to 800. The ap- plcant said that his work had been materially increased and felt that the job deserved the raise. Engineer Hall spea king for Mccarthy, said he did his work in first class shape but he though that salary of $1, 600 would he fair compensa tion. Commissioner John Anderson felt that a raise of s400 was too much. A motion to make the salary S1.600 was passed.
 Cari F. HaigiEt Of the engin eering force asked for an increase from S1o to $S5 a month but as he was voted an increase last year the communication was laid on the able. John Dunn, one of the assistants in the engineers of flee asked for an increase from $4o to S6O a month. Commissioner Don lon asked if Dunns duties had in creased during the past year, and the engineers reply was in the negative. Like Haigists communication it was laid on the table.
 President Humphrey reported that the special committee on the estimates would report at a special meeting Fri day evening.

I'VE take pleasure In thanking you
for your patronage; we believe the
goods bought of us today will give
you entire satisfaction and that You
will come to US again when you need
anything in our line. However, IL for
any reason you are not perfectly sat

a favor, that you report to us at once,

adjust the matter to your satisfac-

shall make 1t our business to see that

The fellow who claims that business
is cold-blooded proposition isn't going
to succeed in business. The human
element still enters as into everything
else under the sun. The "thank you"
is still potent in trade and we fancy
that the merchant who has devised
the pleasant card to his customers
has done wonderfully profitable

promise he makes-and there is no
reason to believe that he does not do
so.
