ARCTIC ST. LADY
SPEAKS KINDLY
ABOUT IT
Says Lax-a-TOne Is a Remedy.
That Should Be Praised
More Highly Than 1t Is for
the Good 1t Has Done.

Nearly every form Of disease begins
in the stomach and this has been
proven in thousands Of cases. Indi-
gestion wrecks the entire nervous
system, clogs UP waste matter in the
intestines, which in turn poisons the
blood. Half digested food in the
stomach literally rots, forms poison
Gus gases and makes diseases Of all
kinds. Constipation keeping decayed
matter in the body is responsible for
many hours illness and purgatives
help but temporarily and merely re-
neve the conditions and the continued
use Of them harm the bowel muscles.
Herbal Lax-a-Tone is a tonic laxative.
Miss Margretti Of 450 Arctic street,
says:
II have suffered for the past six
months with indigestion, gas on my
stomach and bloat. I felt tired out
and nervous on account Of my stom-
ach trouble. It seemed I could find
nothing that would give me relief and
until I used Herbal Lax-a-Tone and I
must say that this, remedy is as all
others say, marvellous, and it is a
pleasure for me to indorse it to the
public as it has certainly helped me-"
Lax-a-Tone is for sale at Harti-
gan's. Drug Stores, 81 Fairfield ave-

COMMERCIAL STUDENTS IN HIGH
SCHOOL MAY OBTAIN DIPLOMAS
TWO, THREE OR -FOUR YEARS, NOW
Co. ordination of Work of
Grade Schools With Com
mercial Department Will
Give Pupils DESTROYS of
Commercial Traini n 9
Greater Opportunities.

In accordance with a radical change
in the work now being planned by
superintendent Samuel J. Slawson,
commercial students at the High
school will be enabled to- complete
courses in two, three and four years,
receiving certificates at the end OF
each period, instead of being COM
PEELED to give three years Of study to
the work as heretofore, The idea is to
allow students who cannot afford to
give so much time to the subject to
get out into the world a year earlier
than hitherto has been the case, al
though under the new schedule they
will have had as much commercial
training in the two years as they have
previously received in three.
This is to be accomplished by a
closer relationship between the gram
mar and high schools whereby chill
dren in the seventh grade will begin
their commercial training with the
study Of Spanish and comm ercial
geography. In the eighth grade much
that has been review work will be
eliminated and special forms of COM
mercial arithmetic and spelling in con-
nection with the continuation OF
Spanish and geography will be
taught
Under the new schedule Of courses
students working in this way and COM
pleting three years Of High schooling
will have had the equivalent of four
years of work under the present plan
Of the curriculum. These pupils will
be enabled to specialize in many forms
of commercial work, a thing which has
not previously been possible. The
four year pupils receiving really five
years Of commercial training, will be
enabled to specialize to an even great
err degree, becoming special account
ants and other highly trained COM
mercia1 workers.
The new plan will be put into OPP
GRAFTON in small way next Septem7
Der and will be fully used as soon az
the grade school work will permit. A
present Lincoln and Shelton school
are the only grade schools where the
preparation work is being carried on
but it is expected that the new plar
will be in operation in all grammar
schools throughout the city by the enc
of next year.
1t is expected that the change will
encourage many students to take the
shorter course who would not other
wise feel that they could give, three
years to training after the grammar
schools BY allowing students to take
longer courses and specialize it will
also attract many who would otherwise
have taken different work at the
school and by permitting students to
return and take post graduate work,
specializing in subjects in which OPP
portunity has never before been given
in the city it will prove of inestimable
value to- the local commercial world.

COAL LACK MAY
BE SERIOUS FOR
VALLEY PLANTS
Waterbury Lighting and Power
Go. to Generate Near
Here.

With the announcement that the
United States Electric Light & Power
Co. of Waterbury, will build a million
dollar power plant in the vicinity OF
the Gulf Refining Co.'s supply base at
Devon, the fact that Waterbury is be-
ing seriously crippled by lack Of ade-
quate coal supply, became known.
The first Waterbury industrial plant
to seek more accessible opening to the
Sound was the American Brass Co.,
whose huge storage yards are located
beside the New Haven railroad in
Stratford.
The announcement that the big
Waterbury electric lighting and pow
er service company will generate its
main supply near Stratford comes as
q great surprise to persons in this
community but is said to reflect in
Waterbury serious coal situation
that may have it's effect upon locat-
ing near Bridgeport many Of the big
plants that now contend seriously
with the coal situation.
. Heretofore coal supplies have de-
volved mainly upon the New Haven
lines. The present years shortage
of cars added to the delay in sanction
ing a barge canal proposed some
years ago, is said to have brought
the situation to a quick focus with the
prospect that Devon, and Stafford
will soon become the seat of a large
industrial center, the river banks be-
ing utilized for dockage and enor-
Nous coal pockets.
The rights of the United Electric
Light & Power Co. in no way conflict
with the territorial agreements that
may exist with the United illuminate
ing Co. of New Haven and Bridge
port.
