FINALLY WAS UNABLE TO EAT A MEAL Mr. Sidney Merlis, 28 Church Sf., Tells About His Many Experiences in the Search for Health, and How He Found It at Last. The constant changing of places of eating will in the long run ruin the most hardy stomach. First you get a Bood place to eat and then you move oh and maybe it gets bad to Wworse, greasy food half cooked and maybe nol any too fresh and clean, said Mr. Merlis to Mr. Martin, the Lax-a-Tone expert at the Economy New England Drug Co., 365 Main St. I have, con- tinued Mr. Merlis, been just such a wanderer and the outcome of it all was that I could not eat a square meal at.all and even after I eat only a little I would suffer with gas bloat and pains that were terrible, the conse- quence was I was tired out all time, had no ambition, had bad head- aches and no rest at nights. I was running down in weight and fast at : that, T heard of Lax-a-Tone and tried it with wonderful results:“you ought ta see me eat now. I sleep well, have plenty of ambition, my headaches the | have gone away entirely and I want to thank Lax-a-Tone for what it has done for me. Now, tiliere are many people right here in New Britain that are suffer- ers from stomach troubles, have con- stipation, nervous spells, do not sleep well, cannot eat without distress, are dizzy and have cold sweats, lie awake all night long and drag themselves to work the next day. If these people will take advantage of Lax-a-Tone and try it the results they will get in one week’s time will surprise them. So go down to the Economy New England Drug Co. and see Mr. Martin, the Lax-a-Tone man, have a talk with him and he will tell you all about Lax-a-Tone and what it will do. - The Lax-a-Tone man will remain wntil 10 o’clock Saturday night for those unable to see him during the week. BOY SCOUT NEWS "CThe campaign is on, “500 Members Before June” is now the aim of every scout troop in the 'city. Already an enthusiastic spirit of working for one cause combined with the element of friendly competition has become evi- dent. Wednesday evening was the date of the official opening of the campaign, when 200 scouts @assembled at the First church for a banquet which proved to be a splendid success in every respect. Between the courses of the supper the troops gave vent to their enthusiasm with their regular troop yells and also some very original anes. Immediately following the completion of the feast, remarks were heatd from representatives of all the local troop. Scoutmaster Rogers, as chairman of the campaign arrange- ments committee, then outlined the details of the campaign ,and especially urged the scoutmasters to see that the rules laid dawn were followed out. Commissioner Thienes further ex- plained and emphasized certain phases of the proposed effort to double the enrollment. President Corbin of the local scout council presented the greetings of the council and spoke of the opportunities now offered to ex- tend the advantages of scouting to other parts of the city not heretofore reached. Harry Birden of Hartfard then entertained the boys with several very -interesting stories. In order that every scoutmaster and scout may know the rules of the en- isting campaign a few of the more important ones are given below: Reports must be turned in by each troop covering the new enrollments of the week every Thursday before 6:00 p. m. at Scout headquarters in the Y. M. C. A. The only form of re- port accepted will be the scout en- rollment blanks obtainable at head- quarters and these blanks must be signed by the new members’ parents. Enrollment blanks must have also the names of the scout to whem credit should be given for the enlistment. New members who have formerly been enrolled in other troops will not be counted in the competition, En- listments will not be counted unless reported on the first Thursday follow- ing the date on the report blanks. Credit will be given for securing any new scoutmasters who are not at the present time enrolled in scout work. Every scout is urged to watch this calumn in each Friday issue for further rules and for the standing of the various troops. Troop 12 of St. Mark's church is planning to give a minstrel show January 30,and February 1st for the benefit of the troop treasury. A new feature of troop activity has been in- stalled in the nature of a record of honors awarded to the various scouts. Tomorrow afternoon the troop will meet at 1:30 at the church and hike to the Plainville pond. Troop 8 is planning to have an open house on January 15th at its club room on Camp street to entertain prospective members, A special meeting of Troop 2 will be held in the club rooms tonight for the purpose of selecting a new meeting night. On account of illness the cornet band did not turn out in full last Wednesday at the feed, but the players will show what they can do . later in the season. . The troop has been and will continue to make plans for one gaod successful season. BLIND ON INCREASE. Gain of Sixteen in Year at Stato Institution.
