Nervous Indigestion
 Caused Her '
 Great Agony
Mrs. F. w. Burns of71 West Main Street, Milford, Is Enthusiastic Over I.ax-a- Tone.

Nearly every form of disease begins in the stomach and this has been proven in thousands of cases. Indi- gestion wrecks the entire nervous sys- tenn, clogs up waste matter in the i'm testines which in turn poisons the blood. Half the digested food in the stomach literally rots. forms poison ous gases and makes diseases of all kinds. Constipation by keeping de- cayed matter in the body is respon- sible for many hours of illness. The new Herbal system tonic, Lax-a-Tone will assist that much abused organ. the stomach, to do it's work properly: constipation is impossible with good digestion. If you have good digestion it is an absolute fact that you will have good blood, and good blood will re- plenish worn out nerves and broken down systems If you want to feel like different person get rid of that tired feeling, have an elastic step and a bright eye, try Herbal Lax-a-Tone and watch the results. Mrs. Burns says:
 For a long time I have suffered with nervous indigestion after eating. My food would ferment, causing gas and bloat. would have a severe pain in the stomach and around the heart was nervous and exhausted and could find nothing to build-me up. It was a drag to do my house work. Since talk ing Lax-a-Tone it is pleasant to do my work; I feel fine and I am happy to indorse this great remedy and will be pleased to verify these facts if called upon to do so.'
 Lax-a-Tone Is for sale at Hartigan's drug stores, 81 Fairfield avenue and Main and Congress streets.-Adv.

The German loss in this engagement was 29.700 tons and 1,8s6 lives, Admiral von Spec being among the dead.
 On January 24, 1915, raiding squad ron of German cruisers were chal- lenged by Admiral Beatty, and the ar mored cruiser Butcher was sunk, the remainder of the German craft escap- ing to the mine fields of Heligoland
 There were no further naval clashes important enough to be distinguished as battles until the engagement off the Danish coast on the last day of last May. What at first report seemed 2 decisive victory for the Germans later developed into an indecisive af- fair Il which both sides claim the vtc- tory. Both British and Germans con tend that the enemy loss was much greater than has been admitted The British claim that the new 27, 7,o00-toil battle cruiser had been sunk was off, c1ally denied several times by the Ger mans. but eventually it was admitted, with the explanation that previous de- nials had been based, on military rea- sons''
 Tha. the naval losses of the Allies exceed those of the Central Powers is known, but after two yeaxs of naval war he supremacy of Britain on the waves ts still unprecedented. In dom mating the sea Englanl has per- formed duty of tremendous impor- tance. The German flag has long since disappeared from t, q ocean.

STATE C. TAU.
 HOLDS MEETING
 AT TORRINCTON

| Torrington, Aug 2S,-The Catholic
 Total Abstinence Union began it's forty-seventh annual. convention here today. The gathering of delegates | was a large one although there was l disappointment over the weather. High mass was celebrated at St. Fran cis' church and at its conclusion the delegates went to the town hall for 1 the business session.
 The report of the state secretary, Frank J. Kinney, of Branford, show | ed that the Union has continued to
 gain in societies and membership. For | the year ending Aug. l, the 113 socie- ties include gain of four while 10,- | 57S members include a gain of Se6, with some societies failing to turn in their figures.
 Individual enumerating shows that the 31 mems societies have 3,0S5 members; 26 ladies' societies, 1890; 40 cadet bodies, 3,489; 15 leagues, 1869, and one mixed, 646. The membership by counties is: New London, 9O1; Fairfield, 65S;
 Litchfeld, 723; Middlesex, 773; Tol-
 land, 270: Windham, 86.
 l.. s New Haven, St. Mary's of Baltic, Sa- cred Heart of East Berlin, and St.
 Thomas of Thomaston, dropped out, while St. Anthonys of Litchf1eld was added. Four girls societies in New London county have been added, through efforts of James A. McDon- old. George w. Larkin of Ansenia
 has presented the Holy Name Cadets of Ansonia, with 200 members and St. Mary's Cadets. of Derby, with no for admission. Margaret A. McCaffrey of Norwich has equipped the Father Matthew Cadets, Of that city, with IS workers in the cause of total absti- hence. Father Winters of New Brit tain, offers the Immaculate Guild with 200. St. Rita's Ladies, of East Hampton, with 22 members, also has joined.
 Secretary Kinney reported that few of the societies paid their per capita tax in time this year so that the check to the National Union was the sma1l- est sent for 8 long time and the Con necticut Union had less representa- ton at the national convention than many of the smaller state unions.
 In reference to the field day in June at Ansonia the secretary said that in spite of the rain that day the parade was a success and the carnival an ex- cel1ent one with generous amount of receipts.
 Secretary Kinney reviewed at length the work of individual unions, officers and clergy in the cause of total abstinence, paying especial tri- bute to the encouragement given the
 members by the spiritual director, Bishop Milan.
