.NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1917. "~ GAGNER IS FINED 520 FOR ASSAULT “Court Finds Restaurant - Man Philip Gagner of 470 Arch was fined $20 and Judge James T. Meskill in police court _day for assaulting Thomas Lane, an Selderly man, at a Main street res- taurant of which the accused is a partner. An appeal was claimed with bonds fixed at $200. Lane, it was tes- ted the restaurant and asked for credit temporarily for a .meal Gagner waved him ont with the re- Sponse, “Nothing doing, shoot.” La- <er, it was testified, Lane agair called and was put out with such force that his scalp was lacerated and It was Hecessary to take him to New Britain General hospital. Witnesses said all that Lane wanted to know was what Gagner meant by the word and that after leaving the restaurant blood began running from under his hat similar to “water from a fully opened fauce : & Gagner said he only hit Lane with the palm of his hand and was at a loss to understand how the lucerated sealp was caused, unless Lane's head came in contact with the sharp edge of the partially-opened door. Lane proved to be an unsatisfactory Witness, said ne remembered none of the details of the assault and thought the blow and a drink were responsible for his lapse of memory. He was sharply questioned by Judge Meskill to whether anyone had talked with him about the case. Non-committal replies were received, Lane appearing to be in a daze. 1 Jacob Eskrow's manner of express- ing himself verbally to Foliceman William Hayes resulted in z fine of $7 and costs for breach of the peace. Tskrow, who lives at 37 Heiace street, explained that he usually talks that way, even to his friends. .

Berlin, Jan. 9, via London, Jan, 5:45 2. m.—The war ministry has made public an appeal on behalf of war invalids asking especially that they be given work whenever possi- ble and rever “false sympathy which is likely to be exemplified more and more by the purchase of postal cards and knick-knacks from invalids who have taken to hawking ana who are deliberately playing upon sentimental sympathie The appeal says: “The state's financial meons are al- ready limited, and even with the most favorable peace there will be no prospect for a long time of sufficient wealth to enable the state, wholly or even in large part, to support its in- valids. Therefore, charity will not suflice. Work alone uplifts and en- nobles. Even tho poorest work cre- ates and sustains health.” The appeal warns against. noticing or commernting on invalid’s wounds ad ugainst encouraging unworthy hawking by the incapacitated. It urges that they be given honorable work at every opportunity. OFFICER'S RESERVE CORPS. Yorty-seven Names Added to List in Last Twelve Days.

The safiors had hardly gotten to work when the heat of the flames became so intense that they were driven back. They then gave their attention to saving other nearby houses which were threatened.

While the health department makes a full chemical and refractive examination of each sample, only the amount of fat and the degree of cleanliness of the milk will be recorded here in or- der that the reader shall not be con- fused by an array of figures. The average milk contains from 3.5 per cent. to 4 per cent. fat. The statute requires that it shall not be less than 3.25 per cent. fat. Milk should be clean, but a mere trace of dirt does not signity a dirty milk. On the oth- er hand, there is no excuse for milk containing a small or large amount of dirt. The housekeepers can do as much toward making the campaign a success as can the board of health by reporting to both their milkdealer and the health department any adverse condition they find in the milk th buy. This daily report will continue throughout the month and later a full report will be made of the sanitary condition of the dairies in the city and on the farms.

Produces of confidence in | BETTER THAN CALMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the sub- stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re- sult of Dr. Edwards’ determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble ?nd quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Nive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “duliness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation anq a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel “loggy” and “heavy.” Note how they “clear” clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spir- e 100 and 25c A hox.

Berlin, Jan. 9, via London, Jan. 10, 6:15 a. m.—A noteworthy dGecrease in epidemic disease in the German mies has been scored during the sec- ond year of the war. Aécording to of- ficial reports just published the num- | ber of cases has dropped from 51 per 1,000 during the first year of the war to a trifle over 38 per 1,000. The areatest number of patients, 211 per 1,000 have been treated for nervous diseases due to the strain of battle and particularly of trench war- fare under terrific artillery bombard- ments like those of Champasne, Ver- dun and the Somme. Pleu was responsible for six cases per 1,000, ar- pneumonia four, tuberculosls one-sev- f ¢ 15 enteenth, enteric one-fourteenth and dysentery one-eighteenth. A feature of the report is the ab- solute disappearace of small pox and the virtual elimination of other scourges like typhus, typhoid and cholera. The immunity of the sol- diers s attributed to vaccination with preventitive serums and othcr scienti- fic methods of prevention. “DRY CAPITAL” UP TO HOUSE U. S. Senate Passes Bill Prohibiting Saloons in Washing- ton, D, C. A'Washington, Jan. 10.—The fight for | a *dry” national capital was trans- | ferred to the house today from the senate, where the Sheppard prohibi- tion bill for the District of Columbia was passed late vesterday by a vote of 35 to 32. Advocates of the meas- ure apparently are confident of favor- | able action in the house. As it goes to the house, the bill wlil abolish saloons in the district and pre- vents the manufacture or sale of li- quors within its limits, but would not | prohibit their import for personal use. The measure would take effect November 1 next. One of the final acts of the senate was to reject by tie vote of 43 to 43 an amendment providing for referendum of the prohibition question to citizens of the district. CHURCH HAS MILLIONS.

In the inferior grades, loosely twisted silk or linen is used, which looks as well, but does not give the sesvice. The Elastic Hosiery carried by our stores is knitted on a hand frame which gives a smooth, uniform texture, entirely lacking in machine made goods.
