Why Dread CId Age?


II don't make much difference how
old you are If you only keep in good
health and arc active. Many people
appear older at fifty than others do
at seventy, to keep looking young
you have got to enjoy good health,
and do as little worrying as possible.
Backaches, swollen joints and legs,
disturbed sleep by being compelled
to arise one or more times during the
night are sure symptoms OF kidney
trouble, and should have immediate
attention to avoid serious conse-
quences. SEVEN BARKS, natures
remedy Of roots and herbs, is one Of
the best remedies to take not only
for affected kidneys, but for liver,
stomach and heart troubles.
Middle-agcd people realize that
they cannot perform their work or
move around as fast as formerly.
The intestinal organs feel the effect
of age and do not perform their work
properly The heart palpitates on
the slightest excrtion, and the back
aches after days work. The
muscles and flesh get habby, and the
blood thinner than formerly. It is
then you need a good tonic and
bowel regulator--you cannot find
more reliable and efficient remedy
for these conditions than SEVEN
BARKS.
If you want to enjoy life, recover
some Of your youthful yigor and have
the glow of health get SEVEN
BARKS OF your druggist Do not
accept a substitute. a

Rock Offered To City Is Of High Quality

Representatives of the New Haven Trap Rock company have addressed letter to the Board of Contract and Supply, in which they explain the su- periority of trap rock as a ma terial for highways construCe- ed of concrete, or by the as phalt penetration method.
 The important tests for broken stone have been established by the Amer1- can Society of Testing Materials. They are wearing qualities. hardness, toughness, cementing value and
 The trap rock offered to Bridge port. compared with the limestone offered, is for wear as 19 is to 8; ness as 17.5 is to s; for cementing value. 100 plus; for crushing value as 23.0oo tons per square inch is to D. 000 tons per squareinch.
 The letter says in part
 Trap rock is the standard stone for road work Other stones are used where trap rock can not be had, or where the cost of trap rock makes 1t too expensive to use.
 Trapsrock is an eruptive unstratihed rock, whereas limestone or. Dolomite, as it is sometimes called. is strait fled rock which splits very easy. It
 
 ings on account of the fine grain and pleasing appearance to the eye. A piece of limestone can be hammered to powder with a piece of trap rock.
 Trap rock is uniform. every piece from the same quarry looks exactly the same. This is because it is an unstratified rock. This is not so with limestone. You will find in every limestone quarry that the stone runs from a white. very soft stone, to a dark grey, and If you will look at the samples in the city engineers office, you will see an infinite variety of stone in any one sample of lime stone You will also note that out of any one sample you can pick at least, ten colors. white. blue, grey, pink brown sandstone cOlors, etc. This is because the stone is a strait fled rock.

Go operating with Norwalk and State officials, Agent Fowler and the entire staff of the To- cal prohibition offices swoopeo down upon Norwalk, and made rich haul.

The officers secur- ed 450 gallons of mash, 100 barrels of beer, and in the woods in the rear of the place found 10 gallons of whiskey ready for marketing.
 Making a, quick jump to the place of Zillin Mikala. 19 First street, another haul of considerable size re- suited the agents finding two 20- gallon stills, 100 gallons of mash, and $50 gallons of finished product.
 A third jump brought John Chiney into the fold, he being apprehe ended at his home near the scene of the sec ond haul, and three barrels of pro duet~seized. A stone vault on the property revealed a large quantity of wine, and a. complete layout capable of supplying a steady quantity pro- duction of many gallons a day.
