There is nothing better made, noth- ing so clean to use and noth- ing so clean to use and noth- ing so harmless to human beings-it does not burn. Try . can 25 cents, it is worth money to you.

 There is one vegetable left at a moderate price which is fine for win ter use, cabbage. Salted or put down as kraut is an excellent winter vege- table. It is now a reasonable price and should be put down before it sours like tomatoes.
 Saur Kraut-Cut a layer of cab bage about inches thick into a clean barrel and pack hard. Then put a layer of salt and then another layer of cabbage and pack until barrel is full Then take a sharp pointed stick and make a hole in center of pack. This gives gas room to escape. Leave over night, then put cover over layer and heavy weight. This will make fine saur kraut.

WAR TAX BILL

 VOTE IS 69 TO 4
Upper House Begins Consider ation of Trading With
 Enemy Bill.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The big war tax bill was back today in the hands of the house, following it's passage by the senate last night. The measure passed the house on May 23 and now goes to conference. The senate added more than $500, ,000, 900 to the bill.
 It is hoped that the differences be- tween the two houses may be settled within two weeks, after which the bill will be laid before President Wilson for his signature.
 The senate approved the bill 69 to 4, the negative votes being cast by Sen ators Borah, Gronna, LaFollette and Norris. The action came after the high tax. group had again sought to secure the adoption of Senator LaF'ol- lettes substitute to raise 8, 800, 0GO 900 more taxes. It was voted down, 65 to 15.

On this mornings wholesale market although the temperature was quite low, 30-34 at a. n., the. prices were quite high on tomatoes. Business was brisk in spite of high prices and many farmers cleaned out earlier than yes- terday.
 The prices on most articles remain ed firm. Tomatoes, however, took a jump because the cold weather and prospects of more to come will spoil the crop if it freezes once. Cabbage and peppers are coming in freely but the demand keeps the price steady. The demand for fruit is very great. A Ford with plums and apples was nearly swamped by peddlers as soon as it reached the lot. If it had not been for assistance of the farmers the owne would have lost more than the s2 that he failed to collect.
 The variety of vegetables is getting less as the cold weather comes on

 FIRST NIGHTERS'
New Company at Lyric Fast Entrenching Itself Into
 Popular Favor.

''Rich Man, Poor Man." George Broadhurst's dramatization of Maxi milan Fosters story was well selected as the second production of the new Polf stock company at the Lyric the atre. Strong in heart interest, and rich in types, the play is well suited to enhance the popularity that the company is fast achieving arnong, the theatre goers of the city.
 Miss Howard is given ample oppor- tunity for effective effort in the role of "Bab,' the girl who for a few short weeks believes she is properly station ed in mansion as a daughter of the rich. and whose selection between two suitors, one rich, one poor, gives the play it's title. Miss Towards $ iinper- sonation of "Bab" is the outstanding feature of the production. It conn pares well with anything that Bridge port stock patrons have enjoyed in re. cent years.
 MT. Ayres as Bayard Varick shared in Miss Towards popularity with the first nigihters. Arthur Buchanan gave a sympathetic portrayal of the elderly MT. Mapleson, whose kindly impulses towards "Bab' resulted in her strange adventure in the rich Beeston house. hold. J. Francis Kirk, the director of the company, appeared to advantage as MT Beeston.
 There were warm welcomes for Mr. Kennedy, Miss Spencer, Miss Bartlett, and the others who became popular last week. Scenic accessories for the play are unusually complete. Last night found among the patrons many who had not made stock regular weekly diversion from the days of the old Poli stock companies in what is now the Plaza theatre. an augury that this Poli company will soon achieve the prestige of the excellent companies af H1ra xra.n

The disagreement of high school teachers over the arranged schedule of teaching hours is one of the most disturbing features of the re-opening of the city's public schools and threat ems to cause considerable trouble if not the loss of several of the best in- structors who are declaring that un- less some change in arrangements is made they will resign.
 At last nights meeting of the Board of Education, Superintendent $. J. Slawson and members of the board got tangled up in a discussion over the resignation of Mrs. Jane Wright. for number of years a high school teacher, but the resignation was &C., cepted. MT. Slawson declared that if the beard didn't like the way he was running the schools there was one thing it could do, plainly implying that his resignation would be forth coming.
 The real difficulty, it is asserted, is due to the fact that some high school teachers start work at 8, others at g and still others at 10 o'clock in the morning, finishing respectively at 23O, 3:30 and 4:3O in the afternoon. Prac- tically all of the teachers want the earlier hours.
 The high school yesterday was over crowded even before the arrival of the freshman class which reported in the afternoon. This class numbers FOG and with those of the three upper classes brings the school registration close to 1900 or nearly 25 per cent | more than the school was built to ac.
 commodate. Plans are under consid. eration to relieve as far as possible the overcrowding, but the fact that
 all of the pupils are in school between
 10 a. m. and 2:30 p. m., the hours a,
 which the last class enters and the
 first leaves, makes the solution more
 difficult
 The school lunch room was no l opened yesterday and several pupil | went home because they could not ge | anything to eat. Special efforts ar | to be made this year to make thi important school department nor satisfactory. Last year there was no only complaint with the lunches, bu l they were condemned by many doc tors of the city who advised agains children patronizing the lunch room l The lunch period according 10 an nouncement vest srday, will be cut t.
 50 minutes this year and this will pre- ent larger number than ever iron going home. The following resignatjUns were re ceived and accepted by the board Jane c. Wright of the High school Julia E.

About 25 boys of Company D, United Boys Brigade of America, took hike to Trumbun last night and visited their former captain, A B. Gilbert.

Common Sense Advice On Care of The
Stomach.

II dyspeptics, sufferers from gas,
wind. or flatulence, stomach acidity
or sourness, gastric catarrh, heart
burn. etc, would take a teaspoonful
of pure bisurated magnesia in half a
glass of hot water, many would soon
forget that they were ever affected
with stomach trouble, and doctors
would have to look elsewhere for
patients.
Physicians tell us that most forms
of stomach trouble are due to
stomach acidity or fermentation of
the food contents combined with ca
tarrh of the stomach. A cup of hot
water taken with a teaspoonful of
bisurated magnesia before meals will
wash out mucots and tend to prevent
food fermentation of the stomach.
Taken an hour or two after eating
they instantly reduce the excess
acidity. In either condition, there
fore, the treatment is eminently sue
cessful and decidedly preferable to
the use of artificial digestants, slim
ulants or medicines used indiscrimi-
nately for indigestion.
Stomach sufferers can obtain Bisurated
Magnesia from druggists in either powder or
tablets and for treatment outlined above
the bisurated form should be insisted on as
