ing the sludge to separate out. The aeration is accomplished by air cur rents blown in through the bottom of the agitator. The sewage then flows into the inside tank of the agitator, and from there into a tank called the settler, where the sewage is allowed 10 settle for an hour. The sludge settles to the bottom and is piped to another tank, where it is re-aerated and then the sludge flows back into the aerator to help decompose the incoming raw sewage. The water re- maining in the settler is clear and odorless and fit for commercial usage again.
 '"The Miles acid system utilizes sul- phur dioXide gas. which is pumped into tank filled with sewage which has previously been allowed to settle in a so-called Imhoff tank, so that a large quantity of the solid organic matter has been separated from the sewage. The sulphur dioxide is a strong decomposing agent.
 The Sprinkler System.
 The sprinkler system consists of running the sewage from the Imhoff tank into a Spflnkler Wnlcn sprays tne water over a spray filter bed. This allows oxygen to mix with the water. and this aeration in combination with the biological action of the sludge in the. filter bed. does away with the wastes in the water

STATE INSPECTION
 OF SEWAGE PLANT
Officials Consider Local System
 a Most Complete One

The Industrial Waste Board and Public Health Council inspected methods of sewage disposal in south Manchester and in this city. yesterday afternoon. and has reported that the methods in this city arc far moro modern.
 The boards report, in part fol- lows:
 The plant at New Britain was much moro explanatory Of what the Industrial Waste Board has been do- ing. and likewise. more expensive than the plant at South Manchester. This plant. which was constructed and which is maintained by both state and city funds. has examples of three diff ferent types of sewage disposal. namely: tho Miles acid treatment, the activatcd sludgc system, and the sprinkler method.
 This plant is fed by raw sewer water from the north and from the south section Of New Britain which flows from the sewers into large pool. This is pumped by means of d motor to tank known as the stilling barrel which is about 20 feet above ground. The raw sewerage then flows through grit chambers and over weirs into a compartment. from which il is distributed to the various systems un- der experimentation at the plant.
 Actiyating SIudgc system.
 '"The acttvating sludge system. uttl- izes the plant and animal organisms which exist in the sludEe or sewage residue. and which are very active oxidizerE of organic matter. in sep arating out the solid foreign matter in the sewage. Tn this system. three tanks are used When the raw sew age flows in from the weirs it is sent into a huge agitator. which is really a tank within n tank.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after a

heavy bloated feeling and such dis
tress due to indigestion or dyspepsia
are usually only temporary. And yet
they may lead to serious disorder.

high degree the intelligent selection
of preventative measures.
One cannot always select or in
spect the quality of food to be eaten
nor its method or manner Of prepare

acidity that is so often the result.
And it is far better plan to eat

month of October rendered service to
ninety-six men. 1t is difficult to make
report of just what this meant to the
men because the policy of the office
is to treat all interviews as conf1den-
tial. The home service secretary

line the work for one day this week.

him and in conversation, secretary
finds that man has not received vic
tory button, and that the woman's
brother, who lives in the country, has
received neither of these things, so
application is also made for the broth
er. Spanish war veteran calls for
transportation to where he has work
as he is stranded here. AS it is not
within the province of the Red Cross
to assist him, he is turned over to an
agency, which furnishes him with
what he wants. Man comes in with
victory medal, which has wrong clasps
on 1t. This is returned with explain
atory letter. Some months ago the
Office had filed claim for this man and
been able to secure operation. He
was drawing compensation but had not
