WHEN THE FOODS YOU LIKE UPSET
 YOUR STOMACH.
Do This For Quick Relief

yt's a fine thing to get up from a hearty meal. knowing that the food you have enjoyed will be easily di- gestcd, without pain or any stomach suffering. Yet. it's the easiest thing in the world to avoid indigestion or, if you are q habitual sufferer, to step it, and keep the stomach in per fe,ft health. Just little "Bisurated' Mngnesia. either powder or tablets. taken after eating, instantly neutral izes the excess acids which cause the trouble, prevents fermentation and gas formation. and soothes and strengthens the infiamed stomach timing. "Bisurated" Magnesia, which is sold by Apothecaries Hall and re- liable druggists everywhere, is the treatment recommended by Doctors and by thousands of one-time suf- ferers, who have proved again and again that 1t is a prompt and cer- tain reliever of aeid-caused digestive troubles.

Mir and Mrs Carelli went into an execu- tive session to thrash matters out The peace gesture was an awful failure. There was plenty of wrang- ling and some hard names ex- changed. Mrs Carelli expressed a strong attachment for Bayes whom she has known only four months. She and her husband have been playing in New York city, but were given rest for the past week. She came to Waterbury to meet Bayes. Someone tipped off her husband and he followed--and got the evidence for his divorce.

OFFICER BURNS
 OPENED SUIT CASE
Found on Grand Street and Was Supposed to Con-

THE GRIP WAS EMPTY

A suit case on the sidewalk on Grand street this morning caused much comment, some thinking that probably it contained valuables. but nobody had the courage to pick 1t up until the matter was called to the attention of Traffic Officer Barney Burns who hastened to the spot and after looking it over he was not sure whether it was safe to tamper with 1t. It was bound up with stout string and had all the appearance of containing something worth while.
 After a brief pause and in the presence of many spectators the officer unwound the string and on opening the suit case found it empty. He tossed it in the alleyway and re- marked as he returned to his regu- lar duty that whoever it belonged to was not out anything

Hands Off ReapportiOnment.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

In one way or another-and all of them dema- gogic and undesirable-it has been attempted to tamper with the scheme for national legislative reapporuonment approved by Congress before the 1930 census. Representatives of States that are to lose one or more seats naturally concerned about the possible loss to their State and perhaps themselves, of places at Washington
 They joined in approving the reapportionment act when 1t was passed, but that before the census was taken. Now it is known whom it may hit, and those who likely to be chopped off are very actively searching for ways to keep their seats fully represented the Federal pay roll They are strongly supported by moral reform bodies which advocate all sorts of dodges to cheat the larger States, with their liberal metropolitan popu- lation, of just representation.
 The latest and to the people, of the least acceptable of these schemes from out where the tall corn grows. Representative Thurston, of Iowa, has proposed bill to prevent loss of seats to any State, while apportonment a basis of population would give the States entitled to retain add to the number of their representatives larger increase in their Congressional delegations
 As there 21 States which under the present plan would lose more Representatives, the only effect of the Thurston would be to increase the size of the National House by 40 or 50 members. Its only object it to existing places for elective jobholders and to create more. It's ultimate result would to increase the cost of government to the taxpayer and to confound fusion in already too large and unweldly leeis- lative body.
 Congress should stand pat on the orig .al scheme of reapportionment which will hold the House at it's present size and add subtract State Representatives according to census figures

payment of so-caed cash surrender value of the certificates computed on various bases.
 official estimate of cost, s1,7oooooooo to $2,- l00000000 dependent upon the the basis of com putation.
 The four proposals now receiving consideration in the Senate Finance Committee are the 8arkley Bill (s. 332D, providing payment of face value of the certificates and authorizing issue in Gucn amount of 15-year bonds might be needed Brook hart Bill (S 1222) with the provisions as the Barkley Bill; Caraway Bill (S 5060) providing for payment of the face value of the certificates less loans made to veterans and authorizing the neces sary appropriations; and the Dill Bill (S 3966), providing for payment of the present-day value.
 More than 40 bills providing some form of cash payment the adjusted service certificates are pending in the House These range in their pro- visions from payment of present-day value to pay ment of the full face value of the certificates. Prominent among the House bills is the Garner Bill CII. R. 15589). providing for the payment of the cash surrender value, which is computed as the amount of the adjusted service credit increased by 25 per cent plus interest at four per cent per annum compounded annually from the date of the certificate to approximately the date of payment less the amount of the principal and accumulated interest, at limited percentage, of the loan that may have been made upon the certificate,
 The official estimate of the basic surrender value as computed under the provisions of the Garner Bill is that the involved would exceed S2100G000G0 if the veterans generally avail them selves of the payment It is estimated that this method of computing the total cash surrender value would require payment exceeding by over s375, ,ooo 600 the present day value of the certificates out standing and in effect would constitute grant of this additional amount"
 It can readily be realized that the adoption Of any of these plans would entail major financing operations on the Governments part, and thaa the Treasury Department well bankers all over the country reluctant to see it undertaken ut this time.

Busting Off a Blue Law.
CNew York Herald-Tribune)

England may have Prohibition with capi- tai D, but the English come of the same stock as the men and women who put Prohibition our statute books and millions of the men and women who quietly defy it. England like America. negects them, except when pests dig them out of old statute books.
 The Manchester, England newspapers were noti- fled Thursday that a law of 1877 forbade the Sunday work which is necessary to produce Mon day newspapers The gentleman who insisted on revivng the statute to have record a law enforcer; he is Secretary of the Sunday Games and Freedom League, and recently had his own brother admonished by court for failing to go to church Sunday, another British statute de- mands His passion for law enforcement one may assume is inspired rather by desire to have unenforceable old statutes wiped off the books rath CT than by such anachronistic Sabbatarianism as usually inspires similar efforts in this country.
 It will be interesting to observe how England responds to such effort to condemn the law by enforcing it. We suspect that the British will behave very much like Americans-talk loudly for a week. and then forget about it. and that in the 203l the statute of 1677 will still grace the law code of England. Blood is thicker than water; habit is stronger than law.
