So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach- ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten sim- ply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess de- velopment or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to- neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia. a good and ef- fective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or coid water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweéetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few mo- ments and is a perfeetiy harmless and inexpensive remedy to use. An antiacid, such as bisurated mag- pepia, whicl can be obtained trom any | INCOME TAX DEPUTIES druggist in either powder or tablet ferm, enables the stomach to do its URGE PROMPTNESS Now work properly without the aid of arti- fielal digestents.

WAISTS AND GLOVES SHOWN DURING THIRD STYLE DAY Gray skies did not prevent the shoppers from flocking’ to the stores during Thursday, the third of the formal ‘Spring Style Days. The departments of millinery, coats and suits were the atraction for many, while other buyers found much to in- terest them in the new offerings in waists. This season the fashinable blouse comes in georgettes, tricolette, pussy willow, radium silk and French voile. The striking features of the newest models are the short sleeves and the buttons at the back. The slip-on idea is cleverly earried out in some of the smartest designs, while the kimono sleeve features many of the most charming waists. Among the best eolors are blue dawn and peach. No square necks are now to be found—the round neck is the prevailiny mode this spring. A novelty in some designs is the belt with sash ends at the side. But- ton trimmings is greatly favored and woo] embroidery, so popular in millin- ery, has invaded the waist depari- ment, also. Dainty and charming are the French voile waists, hand embroider- ed, or.with finest of drawn work. Many are in the slip-on effect. The prices of these beautiful models begin at $6.75. In fact, the advanee in blouse prices is one condition for which all shop- pers must be prepared. This amounts to fully 25 per cent, due to the pre- vailing conditions of trade. Neverthe- less, the prices of georgette waists— from $6.98 to $18.25, of tricolete from $10 up and of the voiles as stated, is easily uynderstood, when one has not- ed the quality of the material, the smartness of the cut and the dainti- jess of the finish. Each waist is a thing of beauty which is sure to be a jey to the possesser. Easter gloves is also a, subjeet of vital interest to shoppers. This year the strapped wrist glove in brown appears to he the leading make, with chamois in the mnatural celor. Tans and fawn in cape—which is - heavy dogskin—are liked, and are priced from $3 to $6.50. ‘Washable white gloves are going to hold their own in favor, and silk gloves to suit the modish short sleeves come in 12-buton length, sell- ing from $1.50 to $1.65. See these pretty things, now while the stocks are fullest and at their best.

SYMONDS IN BOSTON MUSICAL CIRCLES A Boston paper announces that, out- rivaling all former meetings of the Professional Women's club, is one planned for next Tuesday in the ball- room of the Copley-Plaza. The club's calendar, which heralds the monthly events of the organization, lists many celebrities as guests for the current luncheon, the foremost being the in- imitable Mary Garden, who is in Bos- ton with the Chicago Opera company. Adding that the 650 members of the club haVe guest privileges, so that possibly 1,000 will attend the luncheon, and enumerating many of the promi- nent musicians and others who have made reservations, the paper adds: The music program will be furnish- ed by Mrs. Jessica Hatch Symonds, violinist. with Mrs. Mary Learned Ely at_the piano. k Mrs. Ely is the daughter of Mrs. Bela Peck Learned of Norwich. Mrs. Symonds’ skill as a viokinist has been demonstrated during her fréquent vis- its to local friends. Both are doing important work in leading musical circles in Boston. . GETS BROKEN RIBS IN FALL AT GROTON SHIPYARD Fred Williams of Laurel Hill ave- nue, who is employed at the Groton Iron works, suffered a fall at the Gro- ton yards on Thursday afetrnoon and as a result fractured two ef his ribs. Mr., Williams, who is employed in the office of the Groton plant, was out on the scaffolding of one of the vessels on the ways when he slipped and fell. He dropped about 20 feet to a staging below, where he was caught. Luckily the lower staging held him, as the drop down the side of the vessel to the ground is a distance of about 60 feet. Mr. Williams had an X-ray taken of the fracture and he was brought to his home by automobile. ’ COURT IS ASKED TO PARTITION REAL ESTATE Partition of real estate in which the plaintif and defendant have an undivided half interest is sought in a suit rought in the superior court by John Ostrowski of Norwich against Adolph Straub of Norwich.

BLAST HARBOR ICE TO BRING BARGES TO DOCK Dynamite was in use by the Edwara Chappell company Thursday afternoon to blast out the ice from in front of their dock on Central wharf but with- out success_in getting two barges of coal up to the dock where they could be unloaded. A tug which opened the river to this city Wednesday brought two coal barges Thursday for the Chappell eompany, Ltut a fringe of heavy ice along the front of the dock made it impossible~to place the barges for un- loading. In that situation it was thought the ice might be broken Ip with charge sof dynamite, but the ex- plosions only blew holes in the ice without cracking it out to any great distance. Ice of 12 inches in thickness was found in the harbor, frozen so solidly that it was a hard task for the tug to force a way through. The two barges that are waiting to be unloaded contain caroges of hard and soft ceal. Dykeman to to N TWENTY-THIRD BIRTHDAY OF COMFORT CIRCLE, K. D.

W, TRIAL Tombstone, Ariz, March 11.— Abrupt termination of the state's case in chief and the square presenta- tion of the I. W. W. issue were de- velopments at today's session in trigl of H. E. Wootton, chdrged with kidnapping in connection “ with the Bisbee deportations of 1917, during which 1,186 men in the Warren min- ing district were shipped from Bis- :’-ee, Arizona, to Columbus, New Mex- ico. The state’'s announcement that it had completed presentation of its case came after Thomas Grady Green, Bisbee fireman, the fourth offered by the prosecution, had been cross-examined by the defense in an effort to ghow contradictions between his testimony at the pres- ent trial and that given by him at the preliminary hearings at Douglas last year. Court adjourned until tomorrow to permit counsel on both sides to pre- pare arguments on the “law of ne- cessity” defined by defense counsel as being the unwritten right of a com- munity to band its members to- gether to take the law in their own bands when it believes ifself menac- ed by perils with which'the statutes eannot cope.
