the past week and will be there until
Sunday next, when he will start en-
his return to his home in Rockville,
Conn. He will drive to- Detroit and
from there take the boat to Buffalo
and from there drive through to
Rockville, With him are Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick Merrick, of Shell
bourne Falls, Mass. and Mr.. Warren
chauffeur who has been in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Belding for more than
81 years. =.
Mr.. Belding has several ideas look
ing toward the bettering of conditions
in this city which he would like to see
develop and which he stands ready
to assist in developing at any time
One of these ideas is a public SWIM
ming pool, situated in some conven-
lent spot in the city and housed prop
erly where the public could use and
enjoy it.
Speaking Of the silk business Mr..
Belding stated that the local factor
les were his greatest pride and that
he liked nothing better than to come
to Beldino for a visit and look over
the clean condition Of the factories
and the city in general. He SAID that
the company could find a market for
every bit of silk which they could pro-
duce even if they had double the ca
pacity which they have and that this
was the greatest drawback confront
ing the company at the present time.
1t needs more help.
The question of more help brought
up the housing proposition and Mr..
Belding stated that he had given Mr.
+. w. Howard authority to build z
new houses and more just as soon as
they were needed, but that the com.
pany could not build them until there
was some provision made for the dis
posal Of the sewage which would
come from the houses already built
in the Belding addition and the rest
of the north side of the city other
than dumping it in the pond above
the dam. He is of the op Mon thai
the sewer should be extended below
the dam and that the entire north
side of the river b. connected up with
this sewer. A meeting of the health
board of the city, so we are told, is to
be held to take this matter up and
see just what can be done about it.
Mr.. Belding said that the idea that
Tile COHlpdHy was dKdlHSl the putting
in of the sewer was erroneous and
that the company, though owning %
vacant lots in only one of the two
sewer districts, would gladly stand
its share of the expense if the sewer
will be put in and be put in right
emptying into the river below the
dam.
It has been the policy of Health
Officer Little since he has been holding
the Office not to allow any more sew
ers to empty in the river above the
dam and in this he is upheld by the
state health board laws.
Mr.. Belding is anxious to see the
north side, Handbook St., Howard
St., Merrick Ave-, Harrison Ave. and
Morton Ave-, all be properly severed.
But don't want to See the sewerage
emptied into the pond above the
dam.
In further conversation with Mr..
Belding we learn that he has other
improvements in mind, which will be
Of great benefit to the city.

at the emu Oh TIE llfSI Hdil VI Iut
ninth inning with Belding showing
so much class over the Greenville
fellows in every way that the latter
beat it for home about as fast as
they could get out of the grounds
Features of the game for the Bel
ding fellows was the pitching of Rev
FIR. Kick and Neil Miller, who went
into the box in the eighth inning and
finished the game, and also the fine
work of Henry Gildemeister behind
the bat and the exceptionally coed
batting of Miller.
The Greenville fellows had been
practicing up for the three weeks
previous to coming down here and
were sorely disappointed in not be-
ing able to walk away with the scalps
taken from the Belding team. The
Belding fellows had practiced but
cne time and that was on the Monday
night before the game and fully ex-
pected to get beat and were quite
surprised when they saw the way the
game was going.
From what we have heard and from
what he have read in the Greenvillc
papers. We arrive at - conclusion
that the people from our neighboring
city are not the good losers which we
supposed them to be and that they
are considerably sored up on the de-
feat which they took. The game
and the two to follow were to be of
whether Belding get beat three times
out Of tie three games or not, we
would Lsve been good losers and
would nave said nothing. As far as
professionals being on the Belding
team they were nothing of the kind
although at several times dur:rg the
game they did show professional class
Greenv;pe, however, lost sight %
the fa that Tommy Burns, Armour's
Vcribest man and whom shev hailed
az a saviour when he put in an APP
pearance after the game was started
is and old ball player and that Den
Beardslee and number Of other fell
lows on their team were also known
to have been very good in the game
in years past.
We trust that the Greenville fellows
will take their medicine like men Just
the same as we know the Belding
fellows will in case they are beat in
either Of the next two games and
that the playing of the three games
will not in any way cause any hard
feelings but that instead it will, make
1or a closer and warmer bond of
friendship and goodwill between the
people af the two cities.
The second game Of the series will
be played at Greenville, tomorrow,
Thursday, July 81, and it is earnestly
urged that every person who can
should get away to GO up to take in
the game and help the local team do
the same thing over again.

Smallest Retry.

NEW YORK, Oct 14.-The Episco-
pal church is in quest of bachelor
rector to occupy the smallest rectory
in America.
lie must be a bachelor, for the
smallest rectory is far too small fos a
rector with wife, and quite impossi-
BILE for rector with wife and chill
dren.
The smallest rectory is at ST.
Marks Episcopal church in Tonopah,
New. The need of bachelor to fill
it has been brought to the attention
of the heads Of the church's nation
wide campaign in New York by the
Right Rev. George Coolidge Hunting,
d. D., missionary bishop of the state.
The rectory had stood vacant, Bishop
Hunting explains, because none but a
single man could get into it, "and
there do not seem to be any more sin
gle men in the ministry
But Bishop Hunting has found a
way out of the difficulty. In his
statement of the projects for Nevada
to be embraced in the campaign, he
recommends a new rectory for ST
Marks. There is not bed to be
had in the town" he reports, Ito say
nothing IF a house."

# Thin AND
NERVOUS, TRY
PHOSPHATE

A French scientist has discovered
an organic phosphate which should
be very effective remedy for weak
nerves, sleeplessness, thinness and
lack Of strength, energy and vigor.
It's substance is described by spe-
cialists as identical in composition
with certain vital elements naturally
found in brain and nerve cells and
one which when taken into the hui
man system is quickly converted into
healthy living tissue.
This phosphate is already widely
known among druggists in this coun-
try as Bitro-Phosphate. and some
physicians claim that through it's use
strength, energy. vigor and nerve
force are frequently increased in two
weeks time.
DR.. Frederick Kolle, editor of New
York physicians Who's Who" says
It should be prescribed by every doc
tor and used in every hospital in the
United States. AS there are great
variety of so-called phosphates, those
who wish to test this substance
should be sure to get the genuine
BitroP Phosphate.

this life October II, 1919, having at
tanned the age of 81 years and IL
days. 1t was long life full of good
deeds and intense activity. Her hands
never wearied with LIES duties and
her heart was always warm and
young. While in her girlhood, her
parents moved from Ohio to Iowa.
They were pioneers in the far west,
and located at Salem. 1t was here
she met her future husband, Hiram
Jones. They were married Septem-
Der 10, 1858. A union which lasted
more than half century. Her hands

the important things of the kingdom

Divorced Wife Must Drop Their Use,
According to Decree from
Court at Water
loo.
NAMES CAUSE M1x-UP
Man Has Since Married and There
are TWO Mrs. j. r. Aliens, which
= Makes it Some Con-
fusing.

Shakespeare'B little monologue con
corning pocket-books and names may
have had something to do with the
decision by an Iowa court about a
divorced woman using her former
husbands initials. Anyway the Water
loo court has held as did the poet that
& mans name is his best and only as
set, while his pocketbook may be
trash.
j. r. Allen, professional man, was
divorced by his wife, Adeline Allen,
but she continued to use his initials
as well as the name with which he
endowed her at the altar.
In the telephone book she appears
as Mrs ]. r. Allen.
Since the divorce, however, her
husband has remarked and altogether
her use of his name is embarrassing;
indeed, he told the court, it was dam
aging, for professional calls go to his
first instead Of his second home,
which Is bad for business.
The court has enjoined the first
wife from using her former husbands
first two names. 1t also has enJoined
the telephone company printing the
name in it's directory.
Mrs. Allen No. l will appeal.

DO AWAY WITH
INDIGESTION
How to Purity a Sour, Distressed
Stomach in a Few Minutes.

Let us talk plain English; let us call
a spade a spade.
Your food ferments and your stom-
ach isn't strong enough to digest the
food you put into it, so the food sours
and forms poisonous gases, and when
it does leave your stomach it has not
furnished proper nourishment to the
blood, and has left the stomach in a
filthy condition.
Take Mona stomach tablets II you
want to change your filthy stomach to
a healthy, clean, purified one.
If Mona fails to relieve your In
digestion, rid you Of dizziness, bilious
ness and sick headache your dealer
will cheerfully refund your money.
If you want to make your stomach
so strong that 1t will digest hearty
meal without distress, and you want
to be without that drowsy, all tired
out feeling, take Mona; it should
give YOU prompt relief. For sale by
all leading druggists.
