DELEGATION FOR 230,000 ARMY iRepresematives From This State Want Greater Force (3pectal to the Herald.) Washington, May 9—All the Con- necticut members of the house voted in that body yesterday for a regular standing army of 250,000 men and the force of federal volunteers, for a force of federal volunteers, when the report on the reorganization up tor or conference | army bill was consideration. During the debate Representative Tilson brought out that not all of | the national guardsmen of the coun- try are opposed to the federal vol- unteer pro An extensive scheme of prepared- ness for the navy and coast defenses 1in connection with the improvement of harbors in Connecticut and other coastal states is contemplated in recolution introduced by Brandegee of Connecticut, which was referred to the committee on naval jaffairs. The resolution, which speaxss for itself. is as follows: ‘““Resolved, That the Secretary of i War be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed to report to congress, at the earliest practicable date, not ‘la(er than December 4, 1916: | “First, Specific plans for improve- {ment of the harbors and connecting | channels which, in his judgment, af- | ter consultation had with the Secre- | tary of the navy, will best provide ad- equate facilities for operations of the | fleet for defense of the harbors of Portland, Me.

CHILDREN WE WORRY ABOUT Close confinement in school during the past winter, overstudy perhaps, an attack of the grip or tonsilitis, some one of these things is doubtlesc respon- sible for the condition of the child who ghows a decline in health now. What are the symptoms? Pallor and languor, a fickle appetite, dark rings under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very often the best efforts of the family physician fail in such cases and the condition of the child causes the most intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil, sooften prescribed, generally fails because the weak stomach is unable to digest fats. Try this treatment. Before break- fast each morning give the child the juice of half an orange. _After thenoon meal give one of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Keep this up for a few days and then give one of the pills after the evening meal also. ~Weigh the child before beginning the treatment and again after two weeks. An increase in weight of from two to five pounds will show you that you are on the right track at last. are is necessary in the diet of the patient and it will_be well to send to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for a diet book and the pamphlet, ‘‘Building Up the Blood.”” Both are free. Yourown druggist sells Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills, some time ago and a contract for 125 of which for the army has been exe- cuted. The Lewis gun is made by the Sav- ago Arms Company of Connecticut, which has the sole rights to this weapon in this country. That con- cern is making a number of the Lewis | guns for the Canadian government and many more of them are heing manufactured at Birmingham Eng- land, for the armies of the entente al- lies. The Colt's Patent Firearms Company of Hartford, Conn., has the sole rights to the Vickers machine gun in this country and it is mak- ing them for the allies. President Wilson today sent to tha senate the nomination of Clarence V. Reid to be postmaster at Central Vi lage, Conn. The post office department an- nounces that Station No. 31 of the Bridgeport post office will be exrtab- lished June 1 at 1192 East Main street. Senator George P. McLean of Connecticut has returned to Washing- ton from Connecticut, where he has been fishing, it is stated. No, not tish- ing for votes. It is said there is no announcement yet as to his candi- dacy for re-election, but his friends predict that he will have no oppaosl- tion, not even ‘from former Senator Morgan G, Bulkeley. Senator Smoot's amendment to the Bankhead good roads bill, whjch amendment provides that the govern- ment shall loan its credit to the states so that they can obtain funds at a low rate of interest for use in 10ad building, would distribute the $500,000,000 total which the Smoot plan contemplated so that Connecti- cut would be entitled to issue bonds for $4,350,000 and to receive that amount from the federal government for road building purposes, which would have to be repaid. Representative Hill says that the Philippine government bill, in the form in which it passed the house of representatives, gives the Filipinos every right and privilege that Canada now enjoys. He considers that liberal enough without promis- ing them complete independence within a few vears. Mr, Hill appears to favor the rural credits bill that Is pending fore the house. He doubts the wis- dom of bringing it forward at this iime and thinks that it may fail in some respects, as for instance in the regulation of interest, for he says that a minimum limit for Interest rates can not be fixed by legislation, but is dependent upon the law of supply and demand. Savings banks in the large cities do not care to lend much on real estate, he says, they preferring stocks and bonds, but in the country districts he says that is not the situation. In a few remarks in the house Mr. Hill commented upon some phases of the rural credits hill and spoke in behalf of the bill he recently introduced authorizing na- tional banks to invest the deposits in their savings bank departments. Mr. Hill sai “Mr. Speaker, I do not whether I favor this bill or not. During the past two years, while T was not with you, at the request of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Eagle), T read every word of the tes- timony taken by the joint committee with reference to this matter care- fully. I have not had time—I see it was reported on May 3—to review d study this bill. I had formed a clear and distinct impression as .to the testimony in fifteen hundred or more pages, which I carefully read and studied during my vacation, and know be- | was not strongly impressed with the | character of the bill that then seemed | to be pending, | “But I have the most profound | confidence in the chairman of the | committee on banking and currency and in his judgment with reference to these matters, and therefore I | look at this measure, prejudiced in | favor of it, belleving that probably many of the unfortunate tendencles which prevailed a year or two ago | with regard to praposed legislation of | this character have not found a place in this bill. The thing that I regret rnow, gentlemen, is that the matter is brought forward at all at this time. 1 do not think that the federa. re- | service system as yet has had such a trial as to justify repeating the process of its organization in this measure. T introduced yesterday a very brief amendment to the federal reserve act, which in my judgment will do more and do it more promptly than it is possible to get done under this law in the next five years. “There is now in the hands of the national banks, carried in what |is known as savings bank departments, in this country a thousand millions of dollars loaned to national banks as savings bank deposits. I introduced a bill yesterday providing that national banks having savings bank depart- ments and keeping segregafed savings accounts against which a 5 per cent reserve was carried, in accordance with the reuirements of the federal reserve act for time deposits, should have the right to invest these loans under the laws of the respective states in which they are doing business, pro- vided those laws first received the ap- proval of the federal reserve board and regulations were made providing for their supervision and elimination. “Now there are $1,000,000,000 of savings funds already accumulated by national banks: Part of this can be loned in Texas by the national banks under the laws of Texas and part in Connecticut under the laws of Con- necticut, and so in every state which permits savings investments in real estate on either farm or urban prop- erty. “We have in Comnecticut a system of mutual savings banks. My impres- sion is there is a very large amount so invested- The savings banks as a rule pay 4 per cent. on those deposits, and as a rule the loans are made at 5 per cent. It is true not only in every New England state, but it is true in New York, and I think the same sys- tem obtains in California. That sys- tem and the system of trust com- panies which has like privileges is gradually driving the national bank- ing system to the wall, strange as it may seem. But now I propose by the bill which I introduced yesterday to allow national banks to invest under the laws of their respective states sav- ings banks deposits in savings depart- ments of national banks on first mort- gage real estate loans at lower rates than discount loams of current depos- its are now made.” August Burckhardt, assessor of New Britain, and Mrs. Burckhardt are In Washington on a visit while Mr. Burchkhardt is reeuperating from a spell of illness.

I could not walk across the floor without having to sit down to rest and it was hard for me to keep about and do my work. I went to a doctor and told me I had a displacement and ulcers, and would have to have an_operation. This frightened me so ¢/much that I did not know what to do. Havin heard of Lydia E.
