grown even shorter the last few
years due to the fact that the oyster
beds are being contaminated In many
places.
Oysters are higher and scarcer be-
cause the supply must come from
pure ocean water These beds are
now found only in outlying districts
far from manufacturing zones. The
remote areas are naturally small and
the cost of production and marketing
is greater than in the great beds in
the bays and rivers of the more ac-
cessibe parts of the coast.
The food value of oysters is high.
They are seasily digested and very
nutritious.

could see no other COW except the red

animals-Cleopatra the Camel, the

ACID STOMACH
IS DANGEROUS
Sufferers From Indigestion or Stomach
Trouble =
CUT THIS OUT

stomach trouble. dyspepsia. indi-
gestion, sourness. gas, heartburn, food
fermentation, etc, are caused nine
times in ten by chronic acid stom-
ach." says a well known authority.
Burning hydrochloric acid develops
in the stomach at an alarming rate.
The acid irritates and inflames the
delicate stomach lining and often
leads to gastritis accompanied by dan
gerous stomach ulcers. Don't dose an
acid stomach with pepsin or artificial
digestents that only give temporary
relief from pain by driving the sour,
fermenting. food out Of the stomach
into the intestines.
Instead, neutralize or sweeten your
acid stomach after meals with little
hot water and Bisurated Magnesia and
not only will the pain vanish but your
meals will digest naturally. There is
nothing better than Bisurated Mag
nesia, to sweeten and settle an acid
stomach. 1t soaks up the harmful ex-
cess acid much as a sponge or blotting
paper might and your stomach acts
and feels fine in just a few minutes.
Bisurated Magnesia can be obtained
from any reliable druggist in either
powder or tablet form. 1t is safe,
reliable, easy and pleasant to use, is
not a laxative and is not at all expen-

A permanent injunction was is
sued by Chief Justice Leslie c. Cor
nish, at special hearing held Thurs
day at the court house, against the
maintenance Of a slaughter house on
the premises in Norway until recent
ly occupied for that purpose by
James Pledge. This injunction SUPER
cedes the temporary injunction is
sued at the October term of court
which was held in South Paris.
The complainant in this case was
Willard N. Reed of Norway, whose
premises adjoin those of Mr.. Pledge,
and whose residence as was brought
out in the testimony was within 81
feet Of the place used for slaughter
ing animals. Several witnesses were
produced by the complainant, and
they testified to the fact that the
distance was so short that the sounds
of the shot and the fall of the animal
could be plainly heard in the Reed
house, and these unpleasant noises
with the odor that pertained to the
slaughter house were of a harmful
nature to both Mr.. and Mrs. Reed.
1t was also testified to that ami
mails had been slaughtered on Sun
day morning, thus disturbing the
rest of Mr.. and Mrs. Reed and that
on one occasion an animal had been
shot in the street in front of the
house.
Mr.. Pledge produced witnesses.
who had worked for him. who stated
that the house was conducted in a.
very clearly manner and that all pre-
caution was taken to prevent any
unpleasant sights or sounds. A de-
tailed description of the manner of
Strengthening the animals was given.
Some of the witnesses testified that
they had listened for sounds con-
nected with the process. at the re-
quest OF Mr.. Pledge. and had heard
none. 1t was testified that the rea =
son that the animal in question was
slaughtered in the street was because
1t was dangerous animal and had
broken out Of the house as they were
preparing to kill it.
An inspector from the Department
of Agriculture testified that Mr..
Pledge had been obliged to move his
slaughter house from the country at
Rumford because of lack of proper
sanitation features, and that he had
inquired of the inspector about using
the place in Norway for this purpose.
he had been instructed as to the re-
! qu1rements of the department and
had followed them out in every mar
ticular having fine. sanitary place
IN which to slaughter animals and
handle the meat.
In granting the permanent injunc-
ton. Justice Cornish stated that
while 1t was n lawful business con-
Quoted in lawful manner it seemed
to him that the location selected for
the slaughter house was very unfor-
tunate and that inasmuch as it de-
veloped in the testimony that the
house had been built after Mr..
Pledge had been warned that the
establishment of such building in
that place would he fought to the
limit, he had built it at his own risk.
