Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority, He aiso tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hy- per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex- cess of hydrochlori¢ acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten Sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour foed or hawve heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or naused. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any pharm- acy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is S I NORWCH BRANGE in- cordigily welco again his absence of about a year from his native land.

OUGHT TO BE BETTER MILK DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Says Boston Speaker Before Connecti- cut Dairymen’s Convention. ‘The great changes in the transporta- tion and production of milk and cream in New England were described by John C. Orcutt, secretary of the agri- cultural committee of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, at the annual convention of the Connecticut Dairy- men’s association at Unity hall, Hart- ford, on Wednesday. President H. W. Andrews of Suffield presided. Mr. Orcutt spoke on the subject Production, Transportation, Inspection and Distribution of Milk and Cream in New England. He said there had been three great changes in recent yvears in milk pro- duction and distribution; first, the im- proved methods of transportation and refrigeration; second, the growth closer relations between the producing and consuming communities; third, the changed conditions of living, in which less eating is done at home and more at restaurants and hotels. Four main difficulties were met by the Boston Chamber of Commeree in its investigation. They were lack of systematic production, lack of stand- ardization of products, lack of know- ledge of the cost of milk per quart, the estimates ranging from three to six cents per quart, the “leaseq car,” called, which has tended to monopoly. To remedy the difficulties, the Bos- ton Chamber of Commerce advecated a bigher standard of cleanliness, the abolition of the Jeased car system and dealing direct with the railroads in the matter of shipments. There ought to be, said Mr. Orcutnt, a much- better system of local distribution. “Milk dealers as a rule are filled with animosity toward each other. They ought to be better united,” said the speaker. Mr. Orcutt showed pictures of dairy barns, creameries and plants for mak- ing butter, cream, ice cream and milk powder. The figures given formed a graphic presentation of the immensity of the milk industry. Feeding and Care. An address on The Feeding and Care of Dairy Cattle was made by Hugh Van Pelt of Waterloo, Iowa. Good judgment should be used, he said, in feeding, especially during the dry pe- riod. The cow should then be fed soft, laxative food and also food that would help her to store up energy for the lactation period. All this, said Mr. Van Pelt, helped the cow greatly to do her best later as a milk producing machine. A few days of the soft succulent feed after calving should be followed by five or six pounds of grain, largely protein.” The grain and milk should be carefully weighed and cares taken that the cow did not become a digestive agent in- stead of a milk machine. The afternoon session began with an [illustrated lecture on The Selection of’| a Dairy Cow by E." H. Eckles of the University of Missouri. The. Women's auxiliary took charge of the meeting at 3 o’clock and opened its programme with a vocal solo by Mrs. Theodore Stanley of New Britain. Miss Alice Bradford Foote of Meriden made an address on Efficiency in the effervescing and furthermore, to con- tinue this for a weel ‘While relief follows the first dose, it is important to weutralize the acidity, remove the gas-meaking mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus pro- mote a free flow of pure digestive juices.

Hull moved foi a nolle in the cases Qf Rob- ert Stevens and Frederick Syminsgton, both of this city, accused of assault. They had been presented on the charge of taking Hyman Bass in an automo- bile into the town of Montville and leaving him tied up there. The state attorney told the court that he had investigated the case thoroughly and was satisfled that both the young men had excellent records and were not criminals in any sense. He said he had learned that the Bass boy had by false representations in- duced newspaper customers to leave Stevens and Symington, who were his rivals in business, and take up with him. The two young men did take the Bass boy to Montville, but he was satisfied that it was only a boyish prank and he moved for a nolle. Judge Bennett granted the motion. The two young men_have been out on bonds. With their attorney, Charles L. Stewart, they were well pleased with the outcome of the case, which was an absolute nolle without costs and cleared up completely any crim- inal record against them. “The father of the Bass boy has brought a civil suit inst them for damages, which is still jpending.

David Belgrade Found Guilty—Twe Others to Be Tried.

Davis Tues- day nifht at Niantic, when David Bel- grade, proprietor of a store on Penn- sylvania avenue, was fined $30 and costs, amounting to approximately $60, which he paid. The other two accused are Joseph Perrino of Lincoln street and Rocco Betulla of Smith avenue. They were to have been tried Tuesday night, but because of the lensgth of the Belgrade case these trials were deferred until next Tuesday evening. . ‘Sheriffs J. H. Tubbs and M. J. Martin of New London, with Constable Proc- tor of Niantic, conducted the raids on the 15th inst, seizing a quantity of liquors.
