PERRYvILLE A; FARMINGTON 0

Last Friday afternoon the Farming
ton High School football team was de-
feated at Perryville by the strong
Perryville High team. The local team
had made the fifty-two mile motor
trip that morning and were conse-
'quently unable to play up to their
standard form. The team seemed to
possess no pep, while the Perryville
team appeared to be in good trim and
were able to make most any gain they
set their heads on accomplishing.
Bond, left half back and captain of
the team, was the star for Perryville.
Perryville has an excellent team and
has the reputation of being a clean
bunch of sportsmen. Farmington's
football relations with her have al
ways been pleasant and clean,
The local team was defeated in both
games of the season with Perryyille.
this year, but it is consolation to
know that further try at them can
be had next season. r,.sa M

Another New
Hereford Breeder

Just few years ago there were on
ly three or four breeders of registered
Hereford cattle in this community;
today there are at least forty. An
other one started this week when
Clarence Snyder of near Libertyville
bought from H. w. Manley a small
but very select herd of three cows and
their calves and herd bull of Any-
iety breeding, this blood being what
all Hereford breeders are endeavoring
to have. Two of the cows are Beau
Donald bred, one of them being the
mother of the COW Ed Turley paid
$500 for last summer. The other one
is a Harris Princess bred COW, from
the herd of o. Harris & Son, the big
Hereford breeders of the United
States.
Mr.. Snyder knows how to take care
of cattle, and we bespeak much sue
cess for him in his new undertaking.

SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of hydrochloric acid sours
the food and forms
gases.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a, noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by
HYPER acidity, meaning, there is an
excess of hydro-chloric acid in the
gestion and starts food fermentation.
thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in a
can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy.
lumpy misery in the chest, we belch
up gas, we eructate sour food or have
heart burn, fiatuIence, water brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink
willie 1t is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose, it
remove the gas-making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow of pure d.
gestive juices
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for >stomach trouble with excellent
results.

impossible for him to serve on the
committee. Mr., Gwillim said that he
would make the appointments at a.
later date, but up to this noon he had
not decided.
The principal question in the con-
troversy is: Shall the increase be
placed upon the town of P1ainville di-
rectly by means of raising the rates
on the hydrants, or shall it be placed
directly upon the consumers of the
water, by raising the unmetered or
fiat" rates, If the increase is placed
upon the hydrants, the tax rate will
pe raised one-hfth Of a MILL distrib-
uted evenly among the taxpayers, but
If the raise in rates is directed upon
the fiat rates, it will result in a larger
Increase upon each Individual.

rived to find the building in flames

the barn had been saturated with kerr
osene oil and as the barn is old and
dry as finder, it burned easily. No

Mrs A. w. Stewart of West Main

with her son IN Germany. In the let

it, as they have not heard from him
since his release. His last letter was

evening in the town hall to consider

man Of the meeting and Robert c.
Usher was clerk.
The Plainvillc Water company has
a contract with the town of Plainville
for the use of the hydrants at the
rate Of SIS each. Joseph N. McKer-
nan, superintendent of the water
company, presented statistics showing
that the expenses of the company
have increased out of all proportion
to the receipts. He mentioned sew
cral cities and towns in this vicinity,
and mentioned the fact that they all
charge higher rates than does the
PlainviIle company.
In attempting to refute his argu-
ments, Selectman Johnson referred to
several towns, among them Southing-
ton, Unionville and Bristol, which pay
about SIS each for hydrants. Mr.. Nc
Herman said that there is no compar-
ison between Plainville and any Of
those towns in regard to the water
supply asThey all have a gravity sys-
tenn, the water flowing down hill,

ion that the unn etcred or ''I1at'' rates
