DRE. CLINTON HYDE. A STORY WITH A LESSON A farmer had a man, called John, to work for him. John got sick and 5o the farmer hired Mike to do John’s work. And weeks passed by, and months and years, and John was still sick and Mike had to do his work. Didn’t the farmer send for a doctor to have John treated and cured? No; this never occurred to him. He simply had two men on the pay roll and was wondering why his bank ac- count grew smaller and smaller. This is not a true story, of course. No farmer would be as foolish as that. This story simply serves as an ‘object lesson. = You are the farmer, my friend. John is your stomach, your bowels, or your nerves, or your back, and Mike is the medicine you are tak- ing for weeks, for months, for years. You are keeping Mike in the pay roll all the time to help John. Why not have John cured and discharge Mike? Don’t you know that headache, or constipation, or nervousness, or dy , or backache, or all the num- greeable or painful symp- toms are only signs of distress warn- Ing you that there is some trouble somewhere which needs attention? You cannot cure your headache with headache tablets; you cannot cure your bowels with 1 not cure your sleeplessness with nar- cotics, nor can you cure your stomach with pepsin or similar thin try to do that, you are s Mike to help John, and as long as Mike is on the job, John’s work will be done more or less well. But you don’t want to keep Mike on the job all the time—you don’t want to take meédicine all your life, do you? There is only one way to cure your ajlments so your organs will resume their natural functions as they were meant to—the cause of your troubles must be found out and treated. If that is done, your system will work as Nature meant it to work. Your dis- ng symptoms will disappear, the organs of your body will work natur- ally and smoothly and you will need no more medicines to help them do their work—you can discharge Mike and John will do his work as he used BR.

Sundays DEMANDS STOPPAGE | OF U-BOAT WARFARE IN WEST ATLANTIC (Continued From First Page), cruisers closely approached the coast at the three mile aistance in seeking to destroy without warning a German commercial submarine that was sai- ing.

NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY BELLIGOSE NATIONS STILL CRY STEEL Have Asked for Prices for Last Quarter of 1917 The Iron Age says: The appearance of the allies in thls market inquiring for shell steel for the third quarter of 1917 is the lat- est development in the pre-emption of next year's output. Deliveries on existing contracts extend only to July 1. These latest inquiries confirm steel manufacturers in the opinion that as long as the war tasts export demand for war and other needs will take practically all the steel the United States can supply. A new factor is the Rumanian com- mission, which has come to New York as a buyer of munitions. TIts needs are largely ordnance and its buying may not run heavily into tonnage. For France the latest inquiry is for 19,300 tons of 3 to % in. Bessemer steel bars. Shell makers who have contracts with the United States government Three Lsuch inquiries are for 3,750, 6,000 and 3,500 tons. All told, the government munitions program represents 300,- 000 tons. With all the buying for 1917 of which market reports have said o much, there is"no condition of steel famine, present or prospective; nor is there the excited buying which was seen late in 1915 and early this year. Mills have taken the measure of the without Inordinate advances in price. With so many steel producers, es- pecially those of smaller outputs, Marshal Alexander H. R. von Kluck, | who commanded the right wing the German army in its sweep toward Paris in the fail of 1914, has been rut on the retired list at his own request. He had never returned to the front since he was wounded by shrapnel £re in March, 1915, while inspecting | aévanced positions. The fleld mar- | shal was 70 years old in May- of | | Field Marshal von Kluck and his ny took an important part in the erman advance toward Paris in September, 1614. His advance was halted about thirty miles from the F¥French capital and b force, with the rest of the German army, was driven tack in the battle of the Marne. ar TO OPEN GARAGE. John Mercer and A. M. Paonessa will open the new garage recently completed at the junction of Stanley street and Hartford avenue next MBn- day. The proprietors intend to con- duct one of the most up-to-date garages in the city. Mr. Mercer, who will manage the place, is one of the best known automobile repair men in the city, having been connected with | the New Britain garage on East Main rireet and W. F. Keeley's garage on Elm street for several yca In this capacity he has made a host of friends among the automobile owners. He is the former star of the National Polo league, and was a member of the pennant winners in this city, with Harkins Jean, Lyons and Bannon- MOTHER OF 10 GIVEN DIVORCE. Mrs. Mary E. Aldrich of”“this city was today granted a divorce from her husband, Jessie N. Aldrich, on | grounds of habitual intemperance and | cruelty: She was represented by Klett & Alling. Mrs. Aldrich is the mother of ten children, eight of whom are minors and she was given | giistody of these. The College club requests that any college woman who is desirous of | Fecoming a member and whose name | has not already pneen received will please send it to Miss Bessie Older- shaw, 17 Harrison street—advt. i [ all up $2 a ton. avoiding long delivery contracts, there are times when some mill needs to round out a schedule and then the seller seeks the buyer. In this way variations in tank plate prices, for ex ample, have ‘come about, early deliver business in some cases golug at 8.50c Pittsburgh, or at 3.25c. for universal plates of specification material. Chicago milis have just sold 60,000 tona of rails, of which 24,000 tons arc for the Pacific & Great Eastern of British Columbia and 20,000 tons for the Missouri Pacific Recent buying for 1918 includes 57,000 tons for the Frisco, nliced with the Alabama mill. Pabricators havc an average of about four months’ work on their books, but labor is so scarce and so inefficieat that some cf this will carry over into the second quarter of next vear. Rallroad more than architectur- al work is counted on in this trade. The Bridge Builders’ and Structural society’s figures show but for in September lettings. The American Sheet & Tin Plate company named $5.75 as its base price on 1917 tin-plate contracts and has sold freely at that figure. As high as $6 has been paid for tin plate for the first half of next yvear. Greater activ- ity has developed also in sheets, and the leading interest has made advances ranging from §3 to $5. That wire rrices would go higher has been an almost outworn predic- tion; but this week has brought it to pass. On October 18, wire nails went to $2.70, annculed fence wire to $6.25 and galvanized barb wire to $3.55-— The discount on wov- én wire fencing was shortened one point to 59. For a proposed oil line from Okla- homa to St. Louis 400 to 500 miles of 6 to 8 in. pipe will be required and other large oil interests are figuring. Additional capacity in wrought pipe | has had no effect on prices. So much steel can be marketed in semi-finished form that the less than full operation of some finishing mills makes no im- pression. Cast iron pipe works are not crowded. Detroit has let 30,000 tons to' a local foundry- Important cutside works whose low bids on other occasions were not regarded re- frained from bidding.

The | Chicago market is still out of line, | prices of foundry and malleable irons | being held in check by competitive conditions. It is plain that export demand for steel-making irons is far from satis- fled. The sale of 100,000 tons of Southern basic to Great Britain could readily be duplicated. Merchant furnacemen are showing a confidence in higher prices that has not been known in that field in many months. Foundry operations are still much hampered, however, by labor chortage and short performance of labor. Bessemer iron has sold at $24 at Valley furnace, as against §$23 last week, though some of the $24 iron has been higher than standard silicon. A sale ()’ 10,000 tons of 2 to 2.50 sil- icon iron has been made on that basis to an Eastern steel company. markets the City Ifems i Burrows Home Pool and Billlard table for sale and samples at John A.
