POOR SLEEP DUE TO
GAS In UPPER BOWEL

Poor sleep is caused by gas press
ing heart and other organs. You
can't get rid of this by just doctoring
the stomach because most of the gas
is in the UPPER bowel.
The simple German remedy, Ad-
lerika, reaches BOTH upper and
lower bowel, washing out poisons
which cause gas, nervousness, bad
sleep. Get Adlerika today; by to-
morrow you feel the wonderful eff
feet. You will say the day you read
this was sure a lucky day for you.

naming the prosecuting attorney, clerk and assistant clerk of the court of common pleas.
 Attorney Larkin's bill was re- ceived at the executive office yester- day. The bill concerning the ap- pointment of clerk and assistant clerk arrived this morning. The governor has three legislature days in which to sign. If he fails to ap- pend his signature the measures automatically become legal. If he vetoes the bills they will be returned to both the house and senate, where they are certain to be passed over the governors protest. In the case of Attorney Larkin his excellency has until Tuesday to sign and in the Gillette case until Wednesday.
 Both bills presented by Attorney Larkin makes it compulsory for the judges of the court of common pleas to concur in the appointment of prosecuting attorney, clerk and assistant clerk. This passes the well known "buck" to Judge Miles F. McNiff. As a republican he will be obliged to stand 'pat" for Attorney Larllin at least. Waterbury repub- licans amazed at the brazen effort of the author of the bill have branded it is selfish piece of leg islation and have sympathy for Judge McNiff.
 If Governor Cross signs Judge Finn's commission the latter will be in a position to name a prosecuting attorney and clerk before the rip per bills" become laws.

 The weighfs of both gasoline and oil are figured at 6.6, pounds per gallon at present. Under the new rates gasoline would be figured the same, but fuel oil would be figured at "A pounds per gallon.
 C0ngressman Goes offered a spe- cific illustration of how the new rates would be a saving to the purchasers of gasoline and fuel oil. He said that under the present rates, 66,- 900 pounds of gasoline at 27 cents would cost $178.20. Under the new rates the same load at 21 cents would cost $13S.60, or, a reduction same amount of fuel oil under the new rates, the cost would be .$125.8O, or a reduction of $52.40 per car load.
 The cities and towns named in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are the origins from which Connecticut re- ceives its gasoline and fuel oil.
 Congressman Goss announced that his duties nj connection with the fuel commissioners position are ended with the latest report of the inter- state commerce commission on the gasoline and fuel oil rates. He said he has wone five fights since his appoint ment by ex-Governor Charles A. Templeton in 1929. He has been re- appointed each term by Governor Trumbull but will not have to be reappointed by Governor Cross be- cause his duties are ended. His last victory was the winning of a reduc- tion in coal rates for Connecticut.

Charter of the
 Mayor | Passed
tContinued from Page l)

The passage of the bill in its en- tirety is a victory for Mayor Hayes. It supplants the recommendations made by the charter commission, which after an exhaustive investiga- tion of Waterbury's financial condi- tions, proposed a city manager form of government for that city. As the Judiciary committee decided that the charter commissions report was not presented in the form of a bill, no action was taken on the recom- mendations. The question of general referendum also passed "out of the picture" by the failure of the commissions supporters to frame bill.
 Under the provisions of the new bill, Mayor Hayes will have the priv ilege of hiring and firing" all board members, except those elected in a city election. In event Of death or resignation on the board of aldermen or board of education, the mayor will have the full authority of making or approving of the choice.
 It was predicted that this par ticular provision would be amended and that the alderman and educa- tion commissioners would have the power of approving of a candidate of their own choice, but no such amendment has been made. The committee on cities and boroughs approved of the measure as submit ted by Mayor Hayes. The House will take action on the bill to-mor- row.
