wrong, that it should be done under the state law. MT. McDonough again argued it was a needless expense.
 Commissioner Kehoe, again taking the floor said the only question is how it is to be done. There are laws, he said, but here's the rub. No in spector can tell after a beef is killed and cleaned whether it is diseased or not. Mr. Chamberlain closed the de- bate. stating that animals should be inspected both before and after kill ing. The people would soon learn to demand inspected meat. and would look for the stamp, he argued. He then called for the question and it was put by Mayor Quigley.
 Doubt Reigns.
 He called for an Aye" and Nay vote and the response put the chair Tn doubt. The vote was again put ana the mayor declared the amendment lost Attorney McDonough grlnned.
 Vote Whole Budget.
 The question was then on the adop- ton of the resolution as whole, car rying with it the laying of the nine teen mill tax. The vote was put and q gain doubt reigned. It was impossi- hle to tell which side made the most noise Edward X. Callahan asked if it would not be fairer to pass on each department. Mayor Quigley said the resolution called for action on the whole budget. MT. Chamberlain ad- mitted he had called for the question, but would not insist if it was desired to amend to vote under separate head ings No motion to amend was offered and on the next vote the mayor de- clared it carried and the city meet ing adjourned.
New Britain herald., 1916-04-19
NINETEEN MILL TAX
 IS PASSED AT LAST
"0nly Debate at City Meeting Was
 Over Slaughter House

An assembly of about 400 of New Britain's 7,7OO odd voters crowded into Turner Hall last night and in fifty minutes time passed the city's million dollar budget and fixed a tax rate of nineteen mills without changing or in any way altering a single item. Z The business might have been over in five minutes so far as the rank and file was concerned. Just one argument was raised against the budget and it was a drive that was unexpected. Attorney P. F. McDonough was the man behind the oratory and he unslung his gun at the municipal slaughter house propO- sition and kept it's defendants busy for nearly three-quarters of an hour.
 The meeting began promptly at 8 o'clock with Mayor G. A. Quigley pre- siding. City Clerk A. l.. Thompson read the warning, which called for ac- tion on the estimates as adopted by the common council and the fixing of a tax rate of fifteen mills for the first district and four mills for the second. A resolution in the form of a motion hat the estimates be adopted togeth- CT with the tax rate recommended was immediately offered by City Treasurer F. s. Chamberlain who is also mem- Der of the board of finance and taxa tion
 Atty. NcDonough Objects.
 Mayor Quigley presented the motion and for a moment a pause ensued. Then Attorney McDonough arose. Before the resolution is adopted" he said, "I think the citizens of New Britain should scan the list and see why it should be adopted. I have not come here to oppose the resolution, but did come to call the attention of the citizens to an ever increasing tax rate,' said MT. McDonough. When we adopted the city charter under con- solidation we saved the city meeting and I believe 1t is a mighty good thing. Before l am prepared to vote on the resolution I should like to call atten- ton to items in the board of health department
 Hits Increasing Expenses.
 Attorney McDonough then launched into his main argument He said when l he was a member of the board of health it was practically an unknown body and managed to get along on s5,oO0 or $500 a year and had some money left to turn back into the 1 treasury. But what IS the S1tudtlOu Io- night, he thundered. The board is l asking for an appropriation in excess of s1S,OOO, over 1000 more than last ! year. The time has come, declared the | attorney, when we should know why 1 and what they are spending the mon- 1 ey for MT. McDonough wanted it un- derstood he had not come to criticise l the health board, but he pointed to the l salary list, totaling $500 when six l years ago the whole appropriation was less than that amount.
 Attacks Slaughter House.
 The item of $500 for the new mu- nicipal slaughter house and an in l spector he next assailed, declaring it 1 wholly unnecessary. Mr. McDonough maintained the state laws provide for 1 such matters and that violators of the 1 pure food laws may be prosecuted in

1 the police court. He characterized ] the health boards proposition as a du- pllcation of the states work and said next year the city would be up against the municipal ash collection proposi- tiOn. He informed the gathering that he was opposed to both the municipal slaughter house and public ash collec- tion and he had told the mayor so right in front of the National bank building. There is a law, said Attor- ney McDonough, forbidding the sale of diseased cattle and fowl in this state, but unless it is proposed to car ry fowl down to the slaughter house the whole thing is useless. Somebody in the audience asked Well what are you going to do?' Quick as a flash, Attorney McDonough responded "elim- mate it." His reply was greeted with applause. MT. McDonough then moved to amend to strike out the slaughter house proy osition with it's item of $1,00O for inspection.
 Chamberlain to Defense.
 F. $. Chamberlain immediately took up the defense of the municipal slaughter house proposition when MT. McDonough finished and ably defend- ed it. He told the assembly he had been opposed to the whole thing un- til he heard Superintendent Reek's ar guments. After Dr. Reeks had talked all the members of the finance board favored it. He ridiculed Attorney McDonough's arguments on the past performances of the health board and said if municipal ash collection comes next year it would be nothing sur
 
 would not prevail.
 Thomas H. Kehoe, also a member of the finance board, followed MT. Chamberlain with another argument favoring the slaughter house proposi- ton. Like MT. Chamberlain, he came to the conclusion the municipal slaughter house was needed alter hearing pr. Rocks tell of the need. MT. McDonough, he said, says the laws should be enforced, yet he op- poses paying the salaries of the off,
New Britain herald., 1916-04-19

cials who would enforce them. MT. Kehoe then told the now familiar stories of the NeWington hogs infect ed with cholera and how the farmers over there were worrying what they should do when New Britain re- fused to take them. He also talked of diseased cattle and informed his listeners that it was not proposed to stamp chickens Or eggs. If you had heard the story as we of the finance board heard it, you wouldn't want to eat meat said MT. kehoe in conclu- siOn
 ToOmey Replies.
 James Toomey got the attention of the chairman a moment and WaXed into defense of Attorney McDonough. He thought the previous speakers had been unfair and proceeded to talk on this issue until Mayor Quigley called him to order. He maintained the other speakers had been given free license and he only wanted to be heard as a citizen
 McDonoueh Comes Back.
 Attorney McDonOugh was not slow to reply to his critics. He said the health board should have taken action to prosecute the sellers of diseased hogs and cattle if they knew the law told him the proposition was all

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From
An Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in q can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy balloon
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we
eructate sour food or have heartburn
fiatulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a week
While relief follows the first dose, 1t
is important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote free flow of pure d.
gestive juices.
Jads Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid or grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re-
suits.

Outside Three Mile Limit
Schiller had been told that as his
daring exploit occurred outside the
three mile limit, he would in all
likelihood be taken to British possess
sions in the West Indies for trial for
piracy. Federal authorities and rep
resentatives from the British govern
ment came here to-day to examine
Schiller and to decide what to do with
him. If the United States finds it has
no jurisdiction under international
maritime law, he will be turned over
to the representatives of Great
Britain.

could not be rehearsed at Bryant Hall. There
was not enough room there, as each composer
had to be served with an individual piano for
the act.
Irving Berlin and other composers who Will

Cartoonists, who are quite as peculiar as
pianists, also had to have place OF their
very own for rehearsal. They have been
