Achievement on Such Work Is The New York, New Haven & Hart- ford railroad accomplished a feat in bridge building in Bethel Sunday that promises to be a record. It was decided some time ago by the railroad engineers that the trestle work over an undergrade crossing in the center of Bethel, known as Wa- ters’ crossing, should be torn down and an iron sbrirlge buflt in its place. The span is fifty feet long, and the structure, in order to stand the strain of the heavy traffic, had to be elab- orate and strong. Ordinarily the work would take days to complete. Realizing that traffic would be seri- ously hindered, however, while the new bridge was being built, plans were launched to complete the structure in a few hours. Fifty workmen, as skilled as any, began tearing down the trestle work at 10.30 o'clock Sunday morning. The selling his cows and going out of the business. ‘A Popular Dinner Guest.

Why Physicians Recommend Castoria ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. It is absolutely safe.
