LADY MAKES A VERY STRONG STATEMENT Mrs. Roscland Andrus, 46 Maple St., Says She fs Very Glad to Be Able 10 Indorse the Greatest of Tonics, Lax-a-Tone. The sale of Lax-a-Tone is increas- ing in New Britain week by week and this remedy is fast galning the confidence of the New Britain public. We have never advertised Lax-a-Tone in a sensational manner, we have nev- er made any rush claims for it, and it has never been placed in the Cure All column in any place it has been, We have demonstrated it months at a time in a city and have allowed its own merits to place it in the suc- { cess column. 'We are not afraid to put a representative of the companwv in a town and stand behind what we advertise. This remedy has been al- lowed to advertise in paper that have censored all medicine advertisements. It was even the cause of an editoriai comment by one of the large papers in the north west account of it being cleanly advertised. We don’t want people to buy Lax-a-Tone that are suffering from incurable dis- eases, and we don’t want your money unless we honestly believe that it will help you. Mrs. Andrus says: “I have suffered with dizzy spells, sas and bloat, for over two years and found nothing that would give me the smali- est semblance of relief. I felt run down and tired out and needed a gen- eral tonic that was a builder and I am pleased to say that Lax-a-Tone has accomplished just what I wanted it to. What more can one say?” Now if vou are weak and run down and want a tonic that will build you up after the Grippe and a heavy cold, if you are suffering from constipation, sick headache, have indigestion, feel all run down and want a builder that will tone up the nerves, try this tonic. 1t is purely herbal and will not hurt the teeth or harm you in any way. The Lax-a-Tone Man is at the Economy New England Drug Co., 365 Main St., where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public. He will remain until 10 p. m. Sat- urday evenings for those unable to see him during the week. AM. HDW. CORP. ANNUAL Fifteenth, Annual Statement, Just Is- sued, Shows Material Increases in Net Profits for Year.

With no signal tc ‘call them 200 scouts were on duty within short time the were a and proved the value of scouting to the city in any emergency. Expressions ~ of appreciations heard on every side. were The scouts performed many duties. The most conspicuous one was help rendered the the police in holding the safety lines with the aid of staves. Those scouts who did not have staves commandeered pieces of board, sticks from trees and other equipment to take the place of the staves. Other scouts helped in the salvage work on Church street led horses out of the. danger zone, went on errands for the firemen, rendered first aid assistance, watched buildings in danger of he- ing burned, helped to call out the militia, and were at hand ready to render assistance of any kind possible. Scouts were on duty from all the troops of the city, and one especial- ly pleasing feature was the way that ex-scouts shuwed the result of their scout training DY presenting them- selves for service to the commissioner. A good number of former scouts were used ir this way, It was very pleasing at the meet in the armory last Saturday to note the scouts interested in the proposi- tion to secure a full time executive for New Britain. The troops voted to start the effort with a pledge of $100 to be earned not asked for from the homes. The amount was further en- |larged by tbe gift of another $100 i from one of the best friends of the movement. Plans are now under way to raisc the required amount shortly. There will be an unusually impor- tant meeting of the whole local coun- cil Tuesday afternoon at 5 o’clock in the Chamber of Commerce. At least 150 local scouts will attend the state’ convention and meet at the State Armory, Hartford, tomorrow afternoon. It is expected that every troop will be represented and the scouts from this city will edly make a good showing. The local contingent will leave on the 12:07 trolley for Hartford. The pragram will consist of a parade at 1:00 o’clock, and a review of all scouts at 2:00 o’clock, followed by the inter-city contest and exhibition.

Johnston, director of Chamber of Commcree of United States, Hears of (‘n-()p(‘rullnll With Government. ank H. Johnston of this city, a director of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, has been notified that the next meeting of that | organization will be held in \Va%hlnr.— C.. on March 8 and 9. He also received an attached copy of a note from the secretary of war stating that co-operation of the chamber is asked in purchasing war supplies. Mr. Johnsto:i will probably be in attendance at this conference. The Unite¢ States Chamber of Commerce, in a statement issued yes- terday, states that excessive profits are to be prevented i the event of hostilities is indicated by the fact that the Council of National Defense has called on the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States for assist- ance and advice in purchases to be made by the army quartermasters. The National Chamber recently passed a resolution providing that the basis of supply of government quirements in war and peace . re- from private sources should be at a rate , of profit so low as to preclude a profit interest in war.” .Continuing the statement reads: *Tt is equally (unwise to permit large profits to a few people through the making of supplies for the govern- ment and the stock market specula- tion which Inevitably follows the pro- cess. The basis of profit should be a guaranteed return of a small per- centage on the book value of the as- sets of the company... The in- evitable ecoromic disturbance follow- ing a declaration of war should be minimized to the greatest extent pos- sible by the use of the government credit. . . The result of a small guar- anteed profit would be the instant stabilizing of industrial credit and the complete elimination of stock market speculation.
