To disregard her in- tention is to break a natural law. Whether you help Nature by wise or foolish means is left to your own judgment. To simply force bowel movement is unwise, unnatural and ineffective. You can choose harsh, drastic, violently acting drugs or take such without caring what their action or effect is, or you can select some old time-proven, trial-tested remedy, that has been used for 70 years or more by thousands of people all over the world, with the result that it has won an enviable reputa- tion as a reliable household remedy. Take Beecham’s for example. All the world knows Bescham’s; a good- ly part of the world uses Beecham's, has been using it for years, handing its use down from father to sonm, from mother to daughter, for gen- eration after generation, recommend- ing it to others. In spite of:such extensive and general use, who ever heard complaint or eriticism of Beecham’s? That in itself is a powerful recommendation. Don't take anything for granted. Reason it out. = All druggists sell Beecham’s—are glad to ham’'s reputation h been made by its users not by its sellers. Dr.F. éilackson DENTIST 715 Main Street, Willimantio Hours—9 a. m. w0 5 p. m.

Remember, the white - tipped flame gives the most heat. By a simple turn of the wick you can obtain heat for either quick boiling or simmering from any one of the burners. And when you are through with it another turn extinguishes the flame and the kitchen is kept cool and comfortable, - N ) Another convenience for the household is the New Perfection Water Heater.
