thousands of people suffer more or less constantly from furred, coated tongue, bad breath, sour. burning in stomach. bitter eructations, gas, wind and stomach acidity and call it indigestion. when in reality their trou- ble Is due to gastric catarrh of the stomach" writes a New York physi- elan.
 Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and coat Ing or phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented, unassimilated food. The blood is polluted and carries the infec- tion throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently fan ulcer is the first sign of a deadly cancer.
 In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaSpoonful of pure BiSurated Mag fnesia in half a glass of hot water as The hot water washes the mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the bisurated magnesia is an excellent solvent for mucous and increases the efficiency of Inc not water treatment. Moreover, the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will neutralize any excess hy- drochloric acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten it's food contents Easy, natural digestion without dis tress of any kind should soon follow Bisurated Magnesia is not a laxative and can be obtained from any local druggist Don't confuse BiSurated 'Magnesia with other forms Of magne- sis. milks, citrates. etc. but get it ir the pure bsurated form (powder or tablets) especially prepared for this purpose.

SUPT. GRAHAM REPORTS LONG
 SOCIETY SCHOOL WILL REMAIN OPEN

The petition of protest against the closing of the Long Society district school. with 80 signatures attached, was presented by a committee of five, G. Warren Davis, James Ibbison, Charles w. Ebbans, Howard D. Spaulding and c. B. Chapman, to the Town School Board at it's. regular meeting on Tuesday evening. Appar- ently those who presented the protest were premature in their assumption that the school was to be closed, for in the report of Supt. E. J. Graham, he stated that the school was not to be closed and would remain open. Nothing however was done about re- opening the third and fourth grades
 of the school This closed the incl
 dent without any discussion or fire
 works as was at first anticipated. The Long Society delefation left the pres ence of the school board entirely, sat
 isfied.
 After the closing of this issue the board devoted it's attention to the matter that is occupying the center of the stage in school matters, namely, the increase of teachers salaries. This question was discussed until few minutes after midnight with no feel ing of animosity toward the teachers, but in a spirit of fairness to all con- cerned-in fact, one member of the
 board said he was willing to pay the extra amount of taxation entailed by | as grant of the requested increase of | $400. For some time past, since the matter of increase was brought up, | the school board has been making in vestigation of the matter of salaries paid in other Connecticut towns av-
 eraging the same size of Norwich. ,Supt. E. J. Graham presented the l following tahle which shows fhe av- craze salary of teachers of elementary | grades for the year ending July 1 ] 1919, and the salary which they will
 receive for the school year 192o-21 maximum and minimum. These | statistics were for a large part gath | cred from the state report for the
 year ending 1919. The following table
 shows the comparative wage scale
 and that out of ten towns three paid
 more than Norwich but six paid less i than Norwich.

 Further statistics presented at the meeting showed that since the begin i ming of the world war in 1914 to the end of"the school year in 1920 the sal aries of local teachers had been in- creased 52 per cent. and that when the fiat increase of $200 goes into ef- feet the per cent. will be S0.' Accord ing to the new salary schedule that has been adopted it will make the to- tai increase. a net increase of 109 per cent. when the maximum is reached. According to authentic investigation of the. increased cost of living the rate of increase in the past six years has been S5sper cent. or about 24 per cent. less than the increase in salaries.
 Reports that very few teachers have reached the maximum wage are current and have reached the school board. Upon looking over the last pay roll of the teachers of the schools in the town on Tuesday evening it was found that T2- are receiving the max imum salary for their grade and with the state grant for the town of Nor wich of $67 it brings the maximum in the three grades up to SHY, S1067 l and $1017. Principals of four rooms are receiving $50 extra besides and special tea chers such as manual train ing and domestic science are also re- ceiving extra over the maximum. Of | the 120 Norwich teachers there are kindergarten assistants who receive 1 more than the maximum, seven spe- cial teachers and principals who also | receive more than the maximum and of the remaining 107 grade teachers, IS receive more than $1100 per year. 63 more than 5000, IS more than $9O0 l 1 | With the increase of $200 recommend- . ed by the school board these amounts will be raised an even S200. It is also | interesting to note that no teacher in | the local school system at the present | time is receiving the minimum sal ary.
 Other business at the meeting in cluded the receipt and acceptance of the resignation of Miss Helen c. Ham, l ilton of the Falls school. Miss Mar jam Vaughn has been appointed sub- i stitute for Miss Hamilton and Miss

CHARLES WELLS IS TO
 REVISIT HOME IN GREECE

Nine years ago last January Charles Vellis, the Franklin square restaurant proprietor, landed in New York from Greece. came to Norwich, where he passed one night, and then went on to Pawtucket, where he worked for six months in a candy store at $20 month.
 Last Saturday he sold out to Peter SelIas his half interest in the prosper ous restaurant business which he has conducted in partnership with MT. Sellas, and he is now to return to his home in Greece with the comfortable sum that he has amassed by his ln- dustry and business ability. By talk ing over his partners interest, MT. Sellas now owns the restaurant busi- ness in entirety and will conduct it as well as his candy store, Scllas Spa, in the store adjoining the restaurant. Possibly six months from now, after a good visit with his parents and three sisters in the family home in Piraeus' Greece, the port of Athens, MT. Vell1s will return to take up his residence again in the United States and prob ably will visit Norwich again. Ac- companying him on the return trip will be John Dimas of this city, who has bride waiting for him in his native land After their marriage he will return with his bride to Norwich. The Vellis brothers, Charles, James and Peter, have been well known in the restaurant business here for the past four years at the location on Franklin square, at the corner of Rose place.
 Charles was the pioneer of the fam | fly in leaving home. departing from there against his parents wishes, and l landing in New York on Ian II 1911
 A year later Jim, his older brother, was sent over to bring him back, but Jim liked residence in America so well that he too stayed, and later they were joined here by the youngest brother, Peter.
 Before going into the restaurant business in Norwich, Charles worked | for time in the Sellas candy store | but in June, 1914, Charles Vellis and
 James Vellis, under the firm name of Vellis Bros, bought out the Clarence D. Boynton restaurant at 225 Main | street, Franklin square. They at once | nodernized the place by putting ir
 new equipment and later secured the
 corner store that for years had beer occupied by the Morrison cigar store They remodeled the entire place into the present restaurant property and
 have done a large and profitable busi. ness.
 MT. Vellis and Mir. .Dimas intend tc
 sail from New York on the 18th of thi:
 month for Greece by line of steamer.
 that will land them at the port O
 Athens in about 13 days. Before sail.
 ing MT. Vel1is will probably visit il
 Boston and Chicago.
 The future plans of James and Pete,
 Vellis have not yet definitely been de
 cided.
