Mrs MacTaggart testified. She last heard from him from Providence about April 1 of last year, she said. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel P. Green, par- ents of the plaintiff, testified as to MacTaggart's excessive use of intoxi- cating liquors, as did Clark B. Gallup, also of Moosup.

MOSUL’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE LICORICE TRADE Willingness of British Merchant to Buy Sweet Root Great Surprise to Natives. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, D. C., Feb. 7.—“The Father of Licorice’, just an enterpris- ing British merchant when at home, many years ago penetrated to the dreary city of Mosul. a sun-scorched community on the Tigris opposite the mounds of storied Nineveh in south- ern Kurdistan, and astonished the na- tives of the town by a display of willingness to buy all the licorice roots that they could gather. The natives considered this herb, with its thick tangie of woody roots and its defiance of the farmer, only as a pest in their flelds, and, so, the Englishman’'s ec- centric demand caused another scan- del in the Near East about the folly of the Westerner.” Thus begins a statement just given out by the Na- tional Geographic Society at Wash- ington. “At last, however, the natives hit upon a satisfactory explanation. They talked over the matter among them- selves and decided that the English Sovereign liked to chew the sweet roots of their pestiferous weed and, therefore, had provided a contingent fund of many millions of dollars so that enough of it might always be on hand. With this simple discovery, the minds of the natives were set at rest, and they cheerfully aided the “Father of Licorice” to spend all the money which he cared upon the licorice weed. Thus were established the foundations of a thriving trade with world-removed Mosul, transforming a despised product into a source of con- siderable income. “Mosul's export of its sweet roots to the Western World has been rudely broken off by the war, and, mayhap, the natives are more hostile than be- fore to the plant which, besides clog- ging their fields, they €onsider a fav- ored weakness of the British King. At any rate, the battle lines have cut off the most important sources of sup- ply of the popular children’s candy- sugar, the ever-present ingredient in cought medicines, and the wonderful taste-masking element in medicines of naueeating personality. “A great part of the licorice supply lies to the east of the fighting lines, in Asia Minor, in Russia, and in Kurdistan. To a very limited extent, it is grown in Louisiana and Califor- nia. Spain possesses the largest fields stlll accessible to the West, and it is grown in inconsiderable quantities, here and there, along Europe's Medi- terranean coasts. “The United States has regularly been an excellent customer in the world’'s licorice market. Thousands of pounds of licorice cough remedies are consumed in this country every win- ter and spring, while, the American being notoriously fond of taking his medicine capsuled, sugared, or other- wise disguised, a great deal of the im- port is used for the improvement of the superficial character of medicine. Furthermore, licorice sugar is more GIVEN PLACE OF HONOR. J. Alden Weir Has One Entire Wall at Philadelphia Exhibition. At the 111th annual exhibit of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts was opened to the public in Phil- adelphia Sunday afternoon, and will close March 26, J.

WHY CHILLY WEATHER BRINGS RHEUMATISM Says skin pores are oclosed and uric acid remains in blood. Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the meost dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub- ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the boweis and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acld from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acld which keeps accumulating and cireu- lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muacles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- ful in a glass of water and dnnk be- fore breakfast each for a week. This is said to elimll\‘tn uric acid by -stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and s used with excellent results by théusands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a plems- ant, effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. { B — ] Wauregan Garage One of the most reasonable, 3- date es in Eastern Conn. c!L‘ We do -vorytiln(, welding, z ‘woodwork, ulntwd muhln- If you want the for the least money, give us a try. febsd ‘Wauregan, Conn.
