ALLEGED THIEF OF S192,OOO TO
 BE TRIED HERE

The case of Louis Lanz the town
 booi1keeper for Greenwich who Is charged with embedding town funds
 to the amount of $192, 600, is scheduled to come up at the February term of the Criminal Superior court, which opens today with Judge Curtis on the bench. The case has attracted great attention because of the fact that Lang, unlike most men in the same situation, did not squan'der the money, but invested it in the stock of the Ocean Leather Co.
 It is understood that Lang has con
 fessed his guilt and for that reason there is 8 possibility that the formal ity of trial may be dispensed with. Lang is married and has two children He had always been a model husband and claims that he took the towns funds in order to give his family more comforts,
 Lang is making every effort to re- store the money which he is said to have taken. He requested officers of 1 the Ocean Leather Go. to diSH,1se of his stock and refund to the town of 1 Greenwich the amount checked up
 against him. It is said that the stock 1 has risen in value so that 1t can be disposed of for s250, 600. In that event Lanz will make a neat profit on his i exploit.
 i The wife of the accused has ex-
 pressed confidence in Lang since his
 arrest. She says she will stand by him because he was always a good husband to her. Although his salary
 was g, 900 a year, Lang kept an auto
 mobile driven by a chauffeur and maintained two household servants
 just prior to his arrest.
 l His bonds were fixed at $50 GOO by the Greenwich court but as he was unable to raise that amount he has been in the county jail in this city for the past week. He has retained Judge tN. c. Downs of Stamford to act as his
 counsel

Stratford residents will be pleased to learn that owing to the large ice crop which has been harvested in town during the past two months by the local dealers that the cost of the commodity during the corning sum mer months will be 20 cents less per hundred pounds than what was charged last year. This is in accord with a statement issued by George Webb of the firm of F. s. Webb 6 Sons, who stated that his concern had laid in & large supply of ice, having cut twice on their pond. Not withstanding the large amount which has been stored MT. Webb stated that the supply was not large enoush to carry his concern through the season and he expected they would have to buy ice beginning abSgI4 the latter part of August MT, WSob also stated that much will de- pend on the cost of labor for deliv- ering during the summer as regards the cost to the consumer. Last year ice sold for so cents per hundred pounds and if Sthe cost of labor does not increase ice this summer will be 60 cents per hundred to the family trade Special rates will be made to the stores.

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing SER
ious about a loss of appetite, and if
you skip meal, or only eat two meals
day for few days, you will have a
relish for your meals when meal time
comes Bear in mind that at least FIVE
hours should always elapse between
meals so as to give the food ample time
to digest and the stomach a period Of
rest before a second meal is taken.
Then if you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount of out
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite.
When the loss of appetite is cause by
constipation, as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once A dose Of
Chamberlain Tablets will do it.
