It is with pleas- ure that we publish his name and in- dorsement of Lax-a-Tone said Mr. Martin at The Economy New England Drug Co. Mr. Cronin was a great sufferer with indigestion and stomach trouble for the past year or two and in his travels has tried many ways to get relief but at last he found it in an unexpected manner in his home town New Britain. Mr. Cronin says: “It is with a great deal of pleasure and gratification that I can today give you my indorsement of Herbal Lax-a- Tone and coming from one that has had the opportunity of being in all the large cities of New England and trying various methads of getting relief I be- lleve that my statement will carry welght among skeptical people.

The Englishmen Hk.e to jolly the Americans about their fondness for ice cream, but if you could see the way the soldiers eat ice cream at the supper bar you would be convinced that they have no dis- taste for it themselves. We have two American secretaries in charge of this one branch, Messrs. Ostergren and Clarke. We also have another American who glves most of his time to the work in one of the con- valescent barracks, Mr. Welty, who was assistant secretary at the Cornell University last year and a graduate of Penn, State College. Ostergren and Clark are graduatds of Minnesota and Michigan respectively and also hold degrees from the University of Chicago Divinity school. Then when you consider that we pitals practically untouched, so far as the Y. M. C. A is concerned, You see there is plenty to do. The national council has asked me to become the general secretary for all Poona. In order to|play square with you, who are the financial constitu- ency, I will devote most of my time to the army work until the war is over. The fact is, nearly every gen- eral secretary in the larger centers in India and Europe has becoms a real army assoclation worker. The army and governmaent officials are very cordial. The general takes ‘e interest as chairman of the | army branch. Just this week we have been asked to co-operate with one of the church institutes located in the center of an- other large army station in an ad- joining village. You will hear more about the army work as I get in better touch with it. No doubt you will be interested to know that there is a great field here among the Indian young men for our association as soon as men and money can be secured to develop the work.

POLICE HAYE LOST CHILD Girl Believed ‘to Be Alice ' Swoski, Aged Seven, of Kensington, Found Orying on Street. One of the strangest cases involv- ing the attention of the police for a long time was unearthed about 7 o'clock last night by Sergeant W. C. Hart in finding a weeping and shivering girl wandering along Main street. Kindly inquiry by him failed to solve the mystery of who she was and how she happened therc. She was taken to headquarters where Sergeant T. M. lost children that has come to | Herting was as unsuccessful in se- curing any information and Mrs. Mary Metty, police matron, was con- sulted. There were no inquiries about her up to a late hour today. The girl was in charge of Mrs. Metty and, after a good night’s sleep and attention, appeared much brighter today. She says that her name |is ‘““Alice” and, as nearly as the police can learn, the last name is Swoski. Alice says that she lives with her parents on a farm in Kensington, is five years old and goes to school. To- day, all her former terror of police- men seems to have departed and she enjoyed the time of her life playing about the building and making friends with' all visitors.
