Papers in a suit for s12,ooo damages in a suit for an alleged conspiracy to destroy the business of s. Belt and Sons, Hebrew butchers on North Thames street, were filed on Wednes- day with the clerk of the superior court by Samuel, Louis and Max Belt, who make up the firm, and who name Jacob Gordon, Michael Levin, Sam uel Goldberg, Joseph Rosenberg and Barnet Davidson as the defendants.
 It Is claimed that at least s1o,o00 present and future damage has been done to the Belts butcher business but the plaintiffs are not able exactly and definitely to state the full amount of damage that they have suffered and will suffer. Suit Is brought for $12,- 900 and attachments in the sum of sl5,0D0 are directed against the de- fendants, the case being returnable tafcre the superior court on the first
 Tuesday in September
 Deputy Sherin Herbert A. Draper served attachments last week and it is understood tied up about s16,e0o in the several banks of the city, but in place of the attachments the filing of a bond for $12,500 was directed by Judge John H. Keeler in the superior court. Attorneys for the plaintiff are 0. l.. Stewart H. H. Pettis, and V. P. ants are J. J. Desmond and Shields & Shields.
 All the defendants are prominent members of the Brothers of Joseph Synagogue on West Main street where a fight started one Sunday night sev- eral weeks ago after a rabbi from New York had given a decision that the meat that was being sold at the Belts butcher shop was not "kosher' meat The complaint in the superior court case sets forth that the grounds of
 action are as follows:
 That for more than five years last past the plaintiffs have been and now are conducting a so-calied Kosher
 meat market in Norwich for the sale of meats and poultry. which meats are ] killed. prepared offered and exposed 1 for sale in accordance with the rites
 laws and customs of the Jewish re- 1 ligion
 For the success of the plaintiffs bus.
 mess and the sale of their goods 1t is necessary that their customers should
 believe that the said meats and poul. try are killed, prepared. offered and exposed for sale in accordance witf the rites. laws and customs of the He brew religion, as alleged in the pre- eeding paragraph.
 That on Or about the first day O April, 1918, the defendants named il this action together with other per
 sons unknown to the plaintiffs con
 federated and conspired together fo, the purpose of preventing any person
 or persons of the Jewish religion iron trading with the plaintiffs Or pur
 chasing meat or poultry from them
 and also for the purpose of driving tn, plaintiffs out of business and from ex ere, sing any lawful trade or calling il
 connection with their business, am that this conspiracy still exists.

GAS IN THE STOMACH
 IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Daily Use Of Masnesia To Overcome Trouble. Caused by Fer
 menting Food and Acid
 Indigestion.

Gas and wind In the stomach accom- panied by that full. bloated feeling af- ter eating are almost certain evidence Of the presence of excessive hydrochlo- ric acid in the stomach, creating Bo- called "aeid indigestion"
 Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate lin-
 ing of the stomach, often leading to gastritis accompanied by serious stom- ach ulcers. Food ferments and sours, creating the distressing gas which dis
 tends the stomach and hampers the
 normal functions of the vital internal
 organs, often affecting the heart.
 It Is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or. to treat
 with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist few ounces of Bisqrated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after. eat ing. This will drive the gas. wind and bloat right out of the body sweeten the stomach neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there Is no sourness or pain. Bisurated Mag nesia Gin powder or tablet fornn-never liquid or milk) Is harmless to. the etomach, inexpensive to take and the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It Is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

claims to be Rabbi or Priest of the Jewish religion, delivered four or more sermons or addresses in a cer- tain Jewish place of worship in Nor Wich, which is known as the Congre- gation of the Brothers of Joseph, in which addresses he falsely and malici-' eusly stated that the meat and poultry offered and exposed for sale by the plaintiff Belts was not killed, prepar- ed, offered and exposed for sale ac- cording to the laws and customs of the Jewish religion, and that purchasing or Consuming this meat or poultry would be a greivous sin and that no person of the Jewish faith should deal or associate with the Belts or any of them and that no one should use meat or poultry purchased from them.
 And further pursuance of the ob- jects of the alleged conspiracy, the de- fendants procured and induced a cer- tain man of the Jewish faith named Joffe, who claims and holds himself out to be a Rabbi or Priest of the Jewish religion, to also appear at the place of worship mentioned and there to make and utter the same or similar statements as those made by the de- fendant Rosenberg, as already stat ed.
 And in further pursuance of the all leged conspiracy, the defendants Vy letters, word of mouth and other means, requested, procured and induc- ed many customers of the Belts to re- frain from dealing at the butcher shop, should they trade with the plaintiffs. and threatened these customers that these customers would be injured in their business and social relations with other members of the Jewish faith in Norwich and would be committing a grievouS sin.
 The plaintiffs allege that such state
 ments by the defendants were false and
 malicious and made from motives ot
 malice, jealousy and avarice for car rying out the alleged conspiracy and
 to iniure the business and destroy the
 reputation Of the Belts.
