Proper Food For Weak stomaehs.

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. It is also i'm
portant that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become constipat-
after eating, they should take Cham
berlain's Tablets to strengthen the
stomach and move the bowels. They
are easy to take and pleasant in ef-

Murder Hearing May
Be Continued a Week

It is probable that it will be neces-
sary to postpone the murder trials
Of Edward Slattery and Henry WEIGH,
assigned for next Monday in the Grim
inaI superior court, for one week.
States Attorney Cummings has been
informed that there is no certainty
Of judge being available to pre-
side.
Judge Curtis was to be on the
bench during the present term but
has been ill and Judge Bennett was
taken from the civil branch temper
arily. He would be able to preside
Monday because the civil side is not
in session but is needed in his own
court Tuesday. The states attorney
does not feel inclined to start the
WEIGH and Slattery trials Monday If
he is unable to continue the following
day.
An effort is being made Ito get
Judge Joel H. Reed, who is in Flor
ida at present but may be able to re-
turn by next week. In case he re-
turns Judge Reed might agree to pre-
side in the criminal court until Judge
Curtis RECEIVERS. If it is decided not
to start the. murder trials Monday,
Judge Bennett may take up minor
cases on that day.

BERLIN FAIR SELL
OUT TO HARTFORD?
NOT ON YOUR LIFE
Berlin's Champion Challen-
ges Hartford Man to Make
Good His Statement.
Especial to The Farmer. }

Hartford, Feb. 24.-The relative
merit, as agricultural exhibits, Of the
fairs held at Charter Oak Park, Hart
ford and in Berlin was the subject of
debate that at times became bitter, be-
fore the committee on agriculture at
the capitol yesterday.
The hearing was upon measures
that provide for state aid for the Ber-
lin fair, appropriations of $4,000 for a
new building, and $4,000 for main
tenance, are sought for the Berlin en-
terprise. Representative Charles M.
Jarvis of Berlin, an officer Of the Ber-
lin fair association, appeared before
the committee in favor of the mea-
sures, and their chief opponent was w.
H. Gocher, an official of the Charter
Oak fair.
Gocher opposed the grants on the
ground that it was discrimination for
the state to aid the Berlin enterprise
if it did not likewise provide for the
Charter oak undertaking. In the de-
bate it developed that several years
ago negotiations had been opened by
the Hartford fair promoters with the
Berlin fair promoters, for the absorp-
ton of the 1atterNby the Hartford fair.
MT. jaws OcCldIcu LIIoI Luc pIOpO-
sition was rejected. Mr.. Gocher then
declared that recently, the Berlin peo-
pie had sought to unload their fair on
the Hartford promoters for no further
consideration than the assumption of
the Berlin fairs liabilities.
Mr.. Jarvis challenged Mr.. Gocher
to state that the offer had come with
authority of the Berlin association and
the latter admitted that he could not
state that the proposition had been
made upon authority.
Representative Jarvis and others
maintained that as purely agricultu-
raj proposition the Berlin fair eclips-
ed the Hartford fair, the latter being
devoted more to horse racing and in
dustrial exhibits than to the further
ahce of farm pursuits. This led to a
warm discussion of horse racing, and
Mr.. Gocher and others reviewed the
history Of the sport of kings during
the last half century. The commit
tee~took the matter under Amusement.
It was expected at the close of the ses-
sion that the committee would recon-
mend the propositions favorably for
the consideration Of the appropriation
committee.

RUGS VS.. CARPETS.
Estate Board of Health. y

Estate Board of Healthy
The rug is gradually replacing the
fashioned carpet and mating as
covering for the floors Of our homes.
Modern dwellings are being construct
ed with this end in view, but many
homes still retain this most insanitary
covering. Some retain the carpet as
a matter of custom, others because Of
the poor condition of the floor on
which the carpet is laid.
Carpets and mating which are
tackled down, to be taken up once
or twice a year at house cleaning time
are a great menace to health. Their
texture is such that they catch and
retain great quantities of dirt and,
incidentally, many germs. Even in
homes where most Clearly habits are
in vogue. sneezing ~or coughing may
soil and infect the carpets, or, dirt
from the street and filth from the
back yard may be carried into the
house on the shoes. This dirt and
foreign matter soon dries,A is convert
ed into dust, and upon the slightest
agitation mingles with the air Of the
room, to be inhaled by it's occupants.
Hotels and lodging houses with

public health for obvious reasons, al
though this danger has been greatly
lessened in some hostelries by the in

Aside from the danger of disease

lease into the air minute fbers which
are inhaled and produce an irritation
Of the respiratory tract. Many a
sufferer from hay fever and asthma
has found relief by removing the car
pet from the sleeping room. leaving
the bare floor, or by substituting rugs
for the carpet. -
Rugs, of course, are as receptive
for dirt and germs as are carpets, but
since they can be easily removed and
cleaned, they can hardly become a
menace to health: Carpets are re-
moved, cleaned and aired, as a rule,
twice q. year, while rugs get fifty-two
beatings year
Spring house cleaning is near at
hand. Prepare to abolish the car
pet or have it cleaned. and made into

can and let the others go.

home-it is better to have a rough
floor than a rough lung, or to have
a cracked floor than cracked voice.
