WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT b A Physician’s Advice “Indigestion and practically all form of stomach trouble are, nine times ont of ten, due to acidity; therefore stom- ach sufferers should, whenever possi- ble, avold eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Un- fortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich' in blood, flesh and nerve bullding prop- erties. 'This is the reason why dys- peptics and stomach sufferers are usu- ally so thin, emaciated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged o exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like, in mod- erate amount, taking immediately af- terwards a teéaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralize any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feel- ing of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is oubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. on id kn »thas mo direct action e stomach; U y neutralizing the acidity of the food contents, {hus removing the source of ‘tne acld irritation which inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could posaibly be done by any drug or medicine. A8 & physician, I believe in the use of medicine whenever neces- #ary, but I must admit that I'cannot see the sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomuch with drugs instead of gotting rid of the acid-—the cause of #ll the trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of ihe bisurated magnesia as directed above, and see if I'm not right.” flflm«ufi medinm ia Wat's fo; musiness (-3’3.?‘ ..,m“ Norwich, Wednesday, Feb. 25, 1914. —_— VARIOUS MATTERS | Tramps are robbing the smaller rail- | road stations about Connecticut.

The housing situation in Norwich and the possibiilty of the formation of a building and loan association were discussed in a meeting of an hour in length in the rooms of the Board of Trade and Business Men's assoclation in the Shannon building on Tuesday afternoon. Those present represented the new industries committees of the two organizations and included Frank H. Smith, who presided, C. V. Pendle- lon} Jr., who acted as secretary, and J. J. Corkery, H. R.

Brewer of the Norwich Savings soclety, President Francis J. Leavens of the Dime Savings bank and Treasurer Charles B. Chapman of the Chelsea Savings bank. The bank offi- cers had been invited to attend the meeting. Mr. Hill was first called on for a report as to building loan assogiations and he gave it as his opinion from ex- perience that they were very unsatis- factory organizations, in which Mr. ‘Wililams concurred. Chairman Smith sald that he velieved now there was a new law which made them much more satisfactory to have dealings with and BRANDEGEE AND WILLIAMS IN TILT IN SENATE When Connecticut Senator Indicat His Opposition to Alaska Bill. The following is taken from the Congressional Record: Mr. Brandegee—Before the senator closes, if he will allow me to inter- polate one suggestion there, of course the government has a right to do any- thing it thinks necessary«for the well- being of this country and its people if it will amend its Constitution so as to authorize it so to do. We are, how- ever, not only gradually entering upon the twilight zone and getting into the penumbra of doubtful authority, but we are pretty well into it arready, without ever having amended out Con- stitutien; and we are doing a good many things for which nobody éan cite any specific authority in the Consti- tution. It puzzles smarter men than ever Philadelphia lawyers are alleged to be to find warrant or impllea au- thority for many of the govesmment's activities at the present time. Mr. Willlams—Raising horses, example. Mr, Brandegee—All sorts of things —educating farmers, Inspecting all sorts of things, giving Inrormation about all sorts of things, and collect- ing statistics about all sorts of things. It is an endless task, it appears to me, and every congress is filled with prop- ositions to plow farther into that un- plowed fleld. ‘What I meant to say was that If we want to do these semi-socialistic things we should amend the Constitution so as to give us authority to do them. When I say “socialistic” 1 do not use that word as a term of reproach, but as defining a kind of government and a policy that does not yet exist in this country. There may be many desir- able things about socialism, but as applied to a country of this size the fact that somebody believes in the sys- tem’ advocated by the Socialists does not prove that the country wili be bet- ter off with it. What I am afraid of is that if prop- ositions lik ethat contained in this bl for |and those corvllary thereto suggested by the senator from Nebraska, become the fixed policy of this government even as to Alaska—because we must bear in mind that they are not tried, they are simply experiments now, only on paper—if they should be tried and should be successful as applied to | Alaska, what will we have in Alaska? ‘We will have, as it seems to me, a | ecrown_colony run and exploited by the ! United States government, with all the transportation owned and operated by the United States government, “both rail and water. Say what one has a mind to say, if the government owns a railroad in Alaska and the steam- boats running from there to FPacific coast points, and perhaps through the Panama canal and to both coasts of South America, carrying the commerce, exports and imports, to and from Alas- ka, and the rest of the world on this continent, at least there is no man alive now, and there never will be and no combination of them, that will ever have the audacity or the effrontery to enter into competition with the re- | sources of 100,000,000 people managed | by politicians, for that is the way gov- | ernment ownership and operation | going to be managed. is When I say ‘oliticiads” I do not mean to reflect on anybody. Politics is a respectable calling. It is the sci- ence of government. The only way the | government cans operate anything is by employing men to do it, and this is a government of parties. One party beats the other party and takes pos- session of the government, and mans and equips the agencies of govern- ment with its adherents. laws to provide that those operatives shall be permanent, and shall be maintained during good behavior, and of efficiency, and demonstrated capac- | ity, the minuge a party that has been out of power long enough to egt hungry gets in, I will not say by | one pretext or another, but by one | theory of policy, irrespective of what | might have been their theory when they made the platform upon Which arrived at their destination, we see that suddenly the expert and qual- ifled operatives who have had the experience and who have the capacity are sudenly stricken with inefficien and those who have never had any experience in the matter ar the emost | efficient, and they get the jobs. Mr. Willlams—I wish to ask the sen- ‘ator if he sees any large movement | of_that sort going on now? Mr. Brandegee—! have not seen any but I have seen a good many alleged attempts and a great deal of literature upon the sub- | ject, and T have seen two bills passed in cengress by the votes of the party of the senstor from Mississippl wh have done that to a certain extent. Mr, Williams—I make the because I ave been anxious ing the 1ising of the sun of patronage, and it has not risen vet. Mr. Brandegee—I ~have not the | slightest ides that enough wiil be re- { leased to satisty the appetite. Do not let the senator from Migsws:pp! mis- understsnd me.

FIRE IN PUTNAM BREAKS OUT AGAIN Hydrants Frozen and Situation Re- ported Desperate. (Special to The Bulletin.) Putnam, Feb. 26.—At 3 o'clock this (Wednesday) morning the fire m Put- nam in the Bradley bullding broke out again and a half hour later it was re- ported that prospects for checking the laze seemed worse than in the day- time when the fire first started. The hydrants were all reported frozen, Cables linking British and North Amarican pgrts convey, about thirty million ¥ & year, - v — It we pass| > he understood that they were success- fully carried out in New London and Wiilimantic. Attention was calied by some of the speakers to the fact that so little building of residence or tenement property was done in Norwich. The explanation given for this by Mr. Leuvens seeméd to meet the views of most of those present. He said it was because nobody in Norwich had gone into real estate as a business. Mr. Leavens further said that in his 35 years’ experience with savings banks here he knew of no application for a loan that had been refused un- less for a good reason, and Mr. Brewer sald that it had aiways been the atti- tude of the banks and yet yet prefera- bly to make loans to home people and the industrious local man who wanted to build a house could be sure of get- tine as big a loan as he ought to get. One suggestion was made that a number of Norwich men ought te put their money together to put up houses for rent and it was suggested that the best solution for the situation would be loans from the banks to the man having a little money and earn- Ing from $18 to $25 a week who want- ed to build and would pay his debt on the installment plan. EFFICIENCY PLAN PRESENTED TO CHURCHES Dr. Fort Addressed Group M Methodists. Dr. Fort of New York, secretary of the follow-up campaign of the Indian- apolis convention, spoke on Tuesday evening at Trinity Methodist Episco- pal church to a group meeting of | churches in this city, New London, Gales Ferry, Uncasville, Baltic and Mystic. He explained the new efii- ciency plan regarding the weekly en- velope system for contributions for missions and benevolences. Among the striking things he said | to show how smail a proportion of the church membership of all denomina- tions in this country is giving any- thing towards these objects was that the proportion was only one-third. While we give 16 millions to missions, | we spend 20 millions for chewing gum | and 200 millions for the movies. | District Supt. G. G. Scrivener con- | Queted the meeting. | OBITUARY. Edwin A.

You Breathe It—No Stomach Desing —Clears the Head. Surely try Hyomei—nature’s remedy for catarrh, head colds, sniffles, or croup of infants—a treatment that mot only instantly clears the head and gives prompt and lasting benefit in all cases of catarrhal trouble, but is per- fectly harmless and pleasant to use. Hyomei is composed of healing oils and balsams which mix with the air— you breathe it by means of the small Hyomei inhaler or the vapor treat- ment. When using Hyomei you are treat- Ing your catarrh troubles with the natural remedy—no roundabout meth- od, but a direct-to-the-point way. It's folly to doctor catarrh of the breath- ing organs with stomach medicine; in- stead, breathe Hyomei. Its curative and antiseptic medication will imme- diately reach the most remote air cells in the nose, throat and lungs; quickly heals and soothes the raw and inflamed membrane. You feel batter at once. Hyomei has benefited so many suf- ferers of the worst cases of catarrh. cold in the head, bronchitis, and weak or husky voice, that it is always sold | by The Lee & Osgood Co., under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does mot do all that is claimed.
