'NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1915 The Staddard - in Countless Homes Remedy Relieves Constipation Easily| Without Griping or Discomfort Indigestion and constipation are two conditions that are closely related and the cause of much physical suffering. The tendency to indulge one’s appe- tite is more or less general and most people suffer gt one time or andther from rebellion of the overtaxed orgaus of digestion and elimination. A pleas- antly effective remedy, that will quick- ly relieve the congestion of poisonous stomach waste and restore regularity, is the compound of simple laxative herbs sold in drug stores for fifty cents a bottle under the name of Dr. Cald- well's Syrup Pepsin. This is a mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free from opiates or narcotic drugs, and has been the standard heusehold remedy 'in thousands of homes for many years. Mrs. Oliver Young, Merrill,© Wis,, writing to Dr. Caldwell, says, she knows of nothing so effective for reg- ulating the stomach and bowels; since taking Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin she feels ten years younger; her , work seems easier and she has regained her appecite. MRS. OLIVER YOUNG Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin from your druggist and have it in the house. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing_to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 454 Washington St., ECHOES FROM T HE LODGE ROOM State Grange to Meet in Hartford in January—Owls Held STATE GRANGE. The coming meeting of the Con- necticut state grange, the thirty-first annual session, at Foot Guard armory, Hartford, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, January 11, 12 and 13, will be of special interest.

Arthur Sherwood of Eas- ton was acting master until the 1913 election when he was elected master. Charles T. Davis of Middletown was elected the new overseer. At the elec- tion in January, 1914, the two were re- elected. Mr. Sherwood has therefore practically served four years. He will election, with other names. tioned.

HEPTASOPHS. | On January 1, 1914, new rates were into effect. This was for all future | members only and the membership | prior to January, 1914, were kept at the old rate. This was hardly equit- | able and seemed unjust to the new | members, so after mature considera- | tion and consultation with the best authorities on insurance in America, the supreme conclave has decided that all members must be placed on the same term table as the new members since January, 1914. This places all members on the equal rate, with sev- eral options which they may choose from as their circumstances may de- termine, and with the assurance that the present rates are fully adequate to pay all liabilities in the future. The change and options will be explained at the next meeting. There will also be_election and initiation of two can- didates in Norwich conclave, No. 4 WOMAN’'S RELIEF CORPS.

NEW LONDON'S The recent city meeting in eve- ning, the second to be held in New London within the memor: oldest inhabitants, has stru. ular chord and { praises of the ma ;:nol, considered at majority many or who so consider- the people would take mor public affairs if given the chanc meeting in the evening wa ing to the comparatively of citizens Whko in the p: trolled t shaped city affairs to them for the city, and perha while, from a or purely sonal’ standpoint. If these me | are hela e evening in the the few will no longer govern many, and some men will realize t power is slipping fr eir Even Governor Waller said h ored the city meeting that would ac- commodate the greatest number as it the at indicated interest in the success of the good old city. He said that every citizen had a right to be heard in city meeting, provided he kept within der. He evidently changed his mind later on when his long talk was dis- turbed by a restless audience anxious to get a vote on the main question before the meeting, haps, who heard. and by some, wanted opportunity pe to be The central labor union has ap- proved of the idea of these mecting in the evenings, as it gave every man a chance to participate, every man who is obliged to attend to his work at the hour when the city meetings have been held in the past, to give his expre: sion in public affairs, in which all are interested. It has tendency to remove anything that borders on class legi lation or the prostitution of publ: matters to satisfy personal greed. The Central Labor Union sent a delegation that body to Mayor Rogers to him in the future to give the workingman a chance in city meet- ing. The delegates were cordially re- ceived and the mayor again impre ed them, just as he did in city meet- ing, with what he said was before-election promise: “I will every man a square deal.” give It was ‘supposed that the matter of increasing the salary of the health officer had been settied by the recent city meeting, when the ordinance to make the salary $3000 instead of $1000 was disapproved. It was believed that the action of that big meeting would be respected and that the doc- tor would take his medicine and the job for at least one year more. If Dr. Black does not desire the office at the present salary, Dr. Cheney does, for he has so announced and is an ap- plicant for the place. The day after the meeting one who took part promi- nently in the advocacy of .the big in- crease in salary suggesied that the court of common council adopt anoth- er ordinance with a reduced amount named as salary. The council has fallen to the suggestion and accord- ing to Alderman William Harrigan, chairman of the health committee, that is just what the .council is going to do. In that way the council, or rather a majority thereof expects to put one over on the dear people. The aldermen who have the desire to over-ride the direct action of the city meeting, and still be within their rights, in the passage of an ordinance fixing the salary at $2,000, expect that no appeal will be taken to the people direct, as in the first instance. But the principle involved is just the same, and the councilmen who op- posed the original raise, to be con- sistent, must oppose a raise of even $1000 paltry dollars. It was argued by the opponents that no increase was nravided for in the salary budget, no his only | CITY MEETING Now Held in Evening When Few Cannot Govern the Many —Ancther Effort to Raise Health Officer’s Salary—Like- ly to Result in Another Appeal to the People. provision made for the payment of an increased salary, and to take it from me other appropriation, was not on e level. The conditions are un- anged, even if the amount of sal- ary has changed. There is hope, how- ever, that when the ordinance passe: the council, the minority will let i at that, rather than direct the may to call another city meeting and hresh the matter all over again. There's some tomfoolery in this sub- stitution of ordinance business in the | matter health officer for the city New London. Alderman William H. Harrigan has already been mentioned here as a | forecaster of the council action, and he meeting was calll§ for Friday . after this correspondence ciosed, in time to get into place on this page. It a safe bet that the council will adopt the ordinance, for the mapority as been in favor of the increase in la; from the start. It is not a party affair, for in this instance Al- derman Harrigan is voting with the republican majority and some re- publicans are ith the democratic minority No one doubts the honesty of the motive of Alderman Harrigan, who has been in close contact with Dr. Biack as health officer, he being the chairman of the health committee. 'he alderman at a recent banquet ex- | plained his position very aptly, but not strictly true. He said: “I am now serving my second term of three years as aldcrman. The finst term the peo- ple called me ‘Honest Bill' and now they say I am ‘Crooked Bill’ *No, no, not so, was the response. Alderman Harrigan was a Norgvich boy, born and T ed in that city, and the pity is that his native city has not the ben- efit of his honest public service. Alderman Perkins has made declar- ation that in the event of the passage of another ordinance to increase the salary of the health officer that he would be inclined to make another ap- peal to the people for the approval or the disapproval of the council action, aithough he very much disliked to in- | dulge in child play, unless forced to by circumstances to make his position and that of others who were of the same mind, thoroughly consistent. If there is another city meeting on this or prominenence, should be allowed to the meeting will be fully as largely attended as on the first occasion. If such a thing does come to pass, it is probable that the meeting will be held in the evening, according to the “square deal promise” of the mayor. If so the suggestion of Governor Wal ler that all should be given oppor- tunity to be heard should be observed. 1 No one man, no matter what his age or prominence, should be allowed eo talk against time, to monopolize the whole time, just for the sake of filli- bueting, and holding the meeting open until the stores closed on a Saturday night to give the over-worked clerks a chance to vote on the question. The five minute rule should be adopted and strictly observed by every mother's son who addresses the meeting. That's one way of glving the other fellow a chance to be heard.
