Acid-Stornach Makes Bad Blood, Headaches
 and Nervousness

Many times you have seen an awfully bad, oozy-looking face that makes you think = ''It's blood poison. You are wrong, for about nine times out of ten it is caused by an acid stomach, which upsets the digestion, This makes the blood impure and it shows up in the face, with red nose and pimply, blotchy, muddy, bad-looking complexion.
 Remember, too, if the digestion is faulty, you cannot escape the penalty in the loss of mental and physical power. Then again if you eat more food than the body needs, it makes gas by fermentation.
 This fermentation creates toxic poisons which, taken into the blood, irritate the nerves and affect the entire nervous system. This is the frequent cause of severe attacks of head ache and other nervous disorders such as ex- treme nervousness, irritability, insomnia, mental depression, melancholia, dizziness and vertigo.
 Thousands, yes, millions of men and women suffer daily from these troubles and never dream that Stomach is the cause of their wretched health. But for that matter any number of people have endless trouble with their teeth not knowing that Q condition called acid-mouth is causing all the damage. If a tasteless acidis powerful enoughto eatthrough the hard enamel of the teeth and cause them to decay, you can easily imagine that Acid

The Event of the Season.

The event of the season in Taftville is drawing near when the PInochle club will stage their three night Holiday Bazaar. The opening night is set for January the third, continu- ing on January sixth and seventh and will be entirely different from the usual bazaar or carnival. No expense is being spared to make it thoroughly up-to-date in every respect, hundreds of dollars being spent on decorations alone. The ladies are showing great interest in the popular lady's voting contest now on and by the way votes are selling the men are not far behind. The Pinochle club members say the Taftville girls are the champion sales
 women of the state, which appears to
 be correct and the uncertainty as to whom the lucky ones will be adds mystery and zest to the contest for some times a dark horse shows up at the finish. The members will assem-
 ble in front of their club rooms at seven o'clock and march to the hall headed by Tubns band. Red fire will
 be very much in evidence. Buy your season tickets from club members

 Company B. Third Regiment c. S. c. drills at state arnlory on Pleasant street. ,
 The machinists and general workers employed at the Smith & Winchester manufacturing plant, South Windham, returned to work Monday morning af- ter announcing that they would accept the 10 per cent. increase in wages of- fered by the company and that they would continue to work the 54 hour week. There were some 75 men affect ed by this decision. the greater part of the employees of the firm having ac- cepted the increase of 10 per cent. of fered by the company Dec. 18th.
 William P. Barstow, general mana ger of the South Windham plant stat ed Monday night that every man that had returned to work at the plant had expressed himself satisfied with the increase received. Mir. BarStoW also stated that with the exception of one or two undesirables the company had taken back every man who had ex- pressed a desire to return. The wages paid at the plant are now equal to those paid in any plant in the same line of business in the country, and the increase of 10 per cent. accepted ny lllb tIlRlOyGS HlGdnS all IIlCTGdS6 Ol sS5,0O0 a year in the payroll of the Smith & Winchester company.
 At no time could any of the en- ployes of the plant claim that they were on a strike. as before the men had planned to walk out the company had posted notice that the plant would be closed down until the 29th of December for taking inventory. This notice had been posted by the com pany officials after they had received notice fro ma certain man who, it is saidi acted without authority. that if the company did not grant the men a 90 hour week and a 16 per cent. in- crease by $40 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 18th. tue men would walk out. This the company could nut do and told the representa- i've that they would grant the wage increase but could not shorten the working week At 935 o'clock the company posted the notice that the plant would close down until Dec. 29tt 70 take inventory, and the threatened strike was called off.
 The men held several meetings after he layoff and talked things over. but most of them felt that the increase 1T salary was sufficient: therefore decid- cd to return to work on the morning of the 18th. One or two radical ones flung out for the shorter hours anC they found their help was not needed by the company when the prosperous
