"ARMISTICE DAY"

As this goes to press the thirteenth
anniversary Of Arn1istice Day has
drawn to a close. l sit in the security
and comfort of my home, here in
this sunny blessed land of the Long
Leaf Pine, the grand and glorious Old
North State, and let M memories
carry me back to that other Al ynistice
Day, thirteen years ago. Carried on the
swift flying wings of memory l again
am in France living the days and weeks
prior to and after the cessation of
actual combat.
Still riding the vehicle Of memory,
the events of those momentous days
and nights stand out more clearly
than did they while being lived in
reality. The high lights, the shadows,
the dim mists of horrors meld and
blend into a fabric of magic clarity,
the whole lit by the vivid light of
understanding; an understanding that
has only been attained in the whole
some surroundings of this my native
land. Nearly every man who survived
that holocaust of Europe has been
asked the question: how did you feel
when the Armistice was signed? Each
has answered in his own way, each
different from the other, yet all alike,
the same feeling was experienced by
all who were there. A feeling Of I'M
reality, a feeling of utter detachment,
a feeling of disbelief. From the Oldest
veteran on the line down to the rawest
recruit just arrived, the same feeling
of helplessness and importance. A
stunned feeling, a feeling as if one had
been detached from the solid facts OF
earth and life and released into unreal,
the ethereal. For several days prior to
the 11th., rumor had it that there
would be a cessation of fighting, per-
sistent but unofficial, some believed
because that was the thing they de-
sired to believe, some scoffed because
they had learned to believe nothing.
Some hoped because they lived on hope,
some were hopeless because they had
lost the power to hope. No one was
sure, no one was fully prepared for
the actually, even when the order
was given to cease fire, it was obeyed
but not believed. Then came the stun
ming silence that numbed the mind,
paralyzed the muscles and held the
entire army in the grip of bewilder-
ment. A vast silence; so different
from the roll and thunder of great
cannon, the growing cough of ex-

The money will be used for further ex- tension of the trunk line sewer to rid the Naugatuck river of pollution. Much of the work has already been done. Last winter the borough kept a large gang engaged on this project giving relief to the unemployed. The work was stopped few weeks ago as traffic on the state highway on Riverside drive where the work was being carried on became too heavy and at the suggestion of the state highway department this stretch or work was given up until fall.

INDIGESTION
 STOPPED
Relief in 5 Minutes

Practically all forms of indigestion from mildest stomach discomfort to chronic dyspepsia are caused by ex- cess stomach acid which sets up premature food fermentation, gen crates gas and attacks the delicate stomach lining. These distressing conditions are best and most quickly and safely relieved by taking just little "Bisurated" Magnesia after meals for whenever pain or discom- fort is felt. This instantly neutral izes excess acid and stops fermenta- tion. Food is made sweet and diges- tible, the sore unframed stomach lin. ing is soothed and strengthened, and normal digestion proceeds without hindrance or pain. Apothecraies Hall Co and reliable druggists everywhere supply genuine "Bisurated" Mag nesia, either in powder or handy tablet form. Taken as directed. it will bring almost instant relief from acid caused stomach troubles.
