NEW BRITAIN DALY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 38, 1910. WELL EROWN LOCAL YOUNG LADY SAYSLAX-A-TONECONQUERED TROUBLE SHE HAS HAD SINCE CHILDHOOD MISS MARION WINTERS. One of the greatest banes of modern civilization is constipation. Waste material which should be eliminated is held in the system and ab- sorbed which vitiates the blood and causes numerous ills. A person with perfect digestion cannot have constipation as constipation is unnatural and with the organs of digestion working naturally, elimination will go on without the aid of laxatives. Herbal Lax-a-tone as it's name implies is a laxative tonic. It relieves constipation and at the same time it restores the functions of digestion and in a short time no laxative is needed. The great trouble with the majority of laxatives is the fact that they are merely cathartios and force the bowels to do the work without building up the system and the digestion, the consequence is that their good is merely temporary. Miss Winters who resides at No. 1 Hartford Ave., this city has been one of the unfortunates that has been afflicted as above. She saysi— “I have ‘suffered since childhood with constipation and a run down system. I have found nothing that would in any way help me until I used Lax-a-Tone. I am giving this recommendation in the hope that it Wwill be the means of restoring other sufferers and bring them back to ‘health.” The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Economy New England Drug Store, 365 Main St., where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain pub- lic. He will remain on Saturday evenings until 10 p. m. to see those un- able to call during the day. l Just Arrived, See Them Right Away § 1150 Men's Overcoats, $15 READ OUR TERMS :On any purchase of $15 or less, $1.00 down gets the clothes, then pay as you $1.00 a week.

MUST CONTINU [TS NAVAL PROGRAM No Let-up Until All Nations Agree To Reduce Armament ‘Washington, Dec. 7.—Until all na- tlons agree to reduce their armament, the United States must continue to increase its naval power, Secretary Daniels declares in his annual report, made public last night, and which urges that funds be appropriated at once to begin building forty-two addi- tional ships. “I feel it my duty to warn as solemnly as I may,” the secretary says after reciting the high expenditures for the navy authorized at the last session of congress, “against the dan- ger that lies in a possible feeling on the part of our people that the navy has now been attended to. has been placed where it belongs, among the great navies of the world, and there is nothing further to be done. Com- placent retrospection is the father of dry rot. We have made a magnificent beginning, but that it must not be forgotten by the public that the same intelligent appreciation of our needs, the same willingness to provide for these needs must be shown this vear and every Succeeding year if we are to finish what we have commenced.” + Secretary Danijels recalls that the 1917. appropriation bill carries provis- ion for a possible limitation of arma- ment agreement. “I earnestly hope the time is not far distant when this act of congress will result in such an agreement,” he con- tinues, “‘and that the vations of earth will have the statesmanship to devise effective means of preserving the world’s peace without constantly building ever increasing dread- naughts at ever increasing cost. Until that hour arrives the United States cannot safely adopt any policy other thgn that of continuing the policy of steadily increasing its naval strength. Fleet of 1921. Picturing the result of construction now contemplated, Secretary Daniels says the main fighting elements of the fleet, completer and in commission in 1921 will be 27 dreadnaughts of the first line, supported by six battle 25 second line battleships, 13 uisers, 108 destroyers, 12 fleet submarines and 130 coast defense sub- mersibles. While there is no possibil- ity of predicting what rank among the naval powers the country will then take, he adds, the authorization of such a program has been accepted s assurance that the United States has definitely embarked on the polic building an adequate navy. The secretary devotes much atten- tion to discussion of the problems en- countered by the department in get- ting the new ships laid down. Build- ing facilities and skilled labor are lacking, he says and the program he, has recommended for 1918, featured by three battleships and one battle cruiser .will tax private and public plants to their utmost even with the increased building equipment author- ized for navy vards. It was for that reason, the secretary adds, that he did not follow the general board's recom- mendation and urge that the four of the six remaining battleships of the three year program and both of the battle cruisers be laid doyn at once. The board states in its report ac- companying that of the secretary, that its information as to building fa- cilities indicates the 1918 program outlined could be built. Tt also rec- ommends the addition of twelve mine sweepers, one supply ship and two going tgs to the total of the 150- ship three-year program. Department Hampered. Secretary Daniels indicates the difficulties faced by the clearly depart- does not give additional or last naval to the department any extraordinary powers in conaection th placing the contracts for these vessels or in obtaining materials for their construction. It is hoped that the necessity will not arise of having for such powers, as a number builders and manufacture have shown an attitude of willingne to assist the department in meetimz the unusual situation created by the desire of the country to commence and to expedite an entirely unprece- dented naval program at a time when ‘the industrial resources of the coun- tr, are already taxed to their ut- most capacity in meeting the deman of tremendous trade activity, both do- | mestic and foreign, in every branch | of business. It may be necessar: however, for congress to enact legis- ! lation of this character to insure the arly completion of the | construction.” The report touches briefly on many department and new organiza- that is being bill program of | | | activities of the navy highly the co-ordination | commends | tion and i | effected by Admiral Benson, chicf of | operations.

Undoubtedly —much preliminary work has been done experimentally which ddes not show,” the board says, “but the application of this very im- portant branch of the service to the practiacl uses of the fleet has not been fully developed. aircraft do not appear as available for use with the fleet.” Better Air Service Urged, The hoard recommends a new or- ganization of the flyinz service under a directing officer in the office of the chief of operations.

The repdrt shows that the navy now has seventeen aeroplanes in active service and that 60 more have been ordered. In addition several French and British made machines have been ordered. in its brief review of the European | war, the general board finds nothing to warrant modirication of its previous beliet that the battleship. 1s ‘“‘the backbone of the sea power of a nation.” Ior reason, the report adds, the board has determined that the. number, power and size of the guns to be placed aboard new bat- tleships should be increased without sacrificing armor, speed or cruising radius. Larger ships must be built to contain -all these characteristics, the report continues, anda for the 1918 ips the board has recommended the ‘most powertul battery which it be- lieves can be constructed, having due regarc: to the present state of the art of building heavy ordnance in this country. It is shown that the batteri de- cided upon to meet these require- ! ments will be twelve 16-inch, 50 cali- ber guns for each ship. A test gun is now being built Discussing enlistments in the navy, Secretary Daniels shows that congress has authorized an immediate increase of 26,000 men, only 2,524 of whom have been obtained. “Here agzain liec new and serious problems,” he says. “More than ordi- methods must be used to per- young men to decline countless | opportuniiles opening before them In commercial life in favor of service with the government, “Were it not for the gratifying re- sults in enlistments alrcady shown, as vears of offering cducatipnal advan- tages, particularly along technical lin to our recruits, I would feel indeed that the preblem of securing | the men nuinorized for our fleets was | an almost hopeless ono. As it is, I feol sard it will be solved, but it is | still a problem and what I desire in this report is to 'n the public against considering that the mere pas- sage of laws authorizing additional | men is equivalent to having these men this actually on board our ships You’re Sure To Please “Hubby” With These Eggs Parksdale Farm Fancy Eggs sure do please the men folks.
