This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness. while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be car- ried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly fgrments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sus- tain the body- A splendid health measure is to drink. before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in which is a harmless way to wash these poisons. gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels: thus cleansing, sweetening and fresh- ening the entire alimentary canal be- fore putting more food into the stom- ach. A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing.

Mothers can rest easy after giving “Celifornia Syrup of Figs,” because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they becom tightly packed, liver gets slug- gish and stomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see 1f tongue is coated, then give this de- licious “fruit laxative.” Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one— if full of cold, or a sore throat, diaar- rhoea, stomach-ache, bad breathe, re- member, a gentle ‘inside cleansing” should always be the first treatment siven. Full directions for babies, chil- dren of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fis syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of “Cal- ifornia Syrup of Figs,” then look care- fully and see that it is made by the “California Fig Syrup Company.” We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup. e MATTEBS INTERESTING WESTERLY Fire. Judge Herbert W. Rathbun of West- erly, who is associated with Attorneys McEachen and Myer of New York, Tepresenting Miss Edith Ranger, who is contesting the will of her btolher.l Henry W. Ranger, late of Noank, -has | been advised that a decision will be reached in the New York surrogate court during the present month. Mr. Ranger made a will in 1914 in which the National Academy of Design, New York, is made a beneficiary. and is represented by Attorneys Phelps and ®ast of New York and Hull, McGuire & Hull of New London. The case is pending in the Groton_probate court and also in the New York surrogate court. Soon after the will of 1915 was executed Mr. Ranger died, and it is claimed that another will was axe- cuted in 1916, a short time prior to the death of Mr. Ranger. This latter will cannot be found, al- though that such a will was made has been proven by the witnesses to the will and others, and that wil makes Miss Ranger, sister of deceased, sole beneficiary. It is farther contended that Mr. Ranger was a resident of Noank, in the town of Groton, and that the fore the case is not within the jur: diction of the New York suirogate court. The value of the estate is csti- mated at $250.000. The case of Ann Babcock Allen against her brother, Frank H. Babcock, in which a farm in North Stonington. owned by the late Henry P.

Babcock of Norwich repre- sent the defendant. It is a_case where action is taken to set aside_ the de=d of transfer of the farm.

The weavers in pro- longed session voted, by 57 to 30, to accept the terms of the maragement of the mill. The earlier difficudties Leld fire was the taking back of the strikers. The weavers demanded that all or none be ziven work, while the management decided that only 110 of the 158 weavers would be given em- ployment, with preference for the res- idents of Stonington borcugh, and re. instatements to be made in bunches and at the pleasure of the employers. It is said that nty of the strikers are at work elsewhere and therefore there are forty who will not be reen- #aged under the new agreement. There is no rush at the mill at the present time, and therefore the weavers will not be hired until such time as their services are required. In due time the management hopes to have place for weavers tc the full capacity of (he] mili. Stonington Pointers. - A coal-laden barge sprang aleak and sunk at the old steamboat wharf.
