Hill of Tomlinson Ave., Plainville, Conn., Tells Mr. Martin Why She is A mother loves her child and when the child is benefitted the mother is always willing ‘and ready to testify; that is why Mrs. Hill is so very en- thusiastic and happy over Herbal Lax-a-Tone . the remedy -that has really made most of the U, S. sit up and take notice. Do not put off buy- ing that Lax-a-Tone any longer. The reader has as we know been ‘in the mood to buy a bottle for a long time but keeps putting off and off, and maybe some day it will be too late; do it and do it now says Mr. Martin. Mrs. Hill says:, “My son has had terrible indiges- on with- gas and bloat and has been So» Happy and Enthusiastic. a sufferer for years. He would bloat up with gas after eating the smallest morsel of food. He has trled many remedies but none seemed to do him any good; but after putting it off for a long time I bought a bottle of Lax- a-Tone and I am sorry that 1 put it off so long as my son would have been well a great deal sooner than he was.' He is today well and I and will recommend Lax-a-Tone to anyone. The Lax-a-Tone man is at The Economy New England Drug Store, 365 Main street where he is intro- ducing this remedy to /the New Brit- ain public. SCOUTS NOW HAVE NUCLEUS FOR FUND Private Pledges Ior Executive Already Reach $600 At a meeting of the local council of the Boy Scouts of the city last Tues- day afternoon it was decided to raise two thousand dollars to employ a full time scout cxecutive for the' city. A committee consisting of Ernest W. Pelton, Walter P.' Hart and Commis- sioner Elmer T. Thienes }vau appoint- ed to make arrangements for the rais- ing of the money. The committee will hold a meeting this afternoon at which plans will be completed for the campaign. No difficulty is anticipat- ed in raising the required amount as almost $600 has been Taised already. At the indoor meet held February 17 the troops of the city began the cam- paign by pledging $100. Since that time pledges have been made as fol- low A. F. Corbin, $100; Howard S. Hart, $100; E. A. Moore, $100; Alix Stanley, $100; E. W. Wightman, $50; and C.. C. Rossberg, $20. With this amount raised there remains only $1,- 400 more to be secured. ‘The Boy Scout movement has come to be a community institution in New Britain. The. present’ organization has been in existence in New Britain for'three years and has heen growing in value to the city. As a result of a recent campaign 202 new scouts were added to the organization, so that there will be 450 scouts here when the proper . registration is effected. . One of the greatest 'features* of scouting im the- emphasis placed’ or ! service .to community. This has heen strikingly demonstrated recently .in New Britain;, both at the big fires and in the work of the man power census that is now being taken. The service that the scouts ol' the city have been able render is but the beginning of & plan to be of great- -er value to-the city. It is the plan of the local council, when the executive | is secured, to work for 1,000 scouts here, and have.a signal ‘arranged so that at the call of any emergency the signal could assemble all of the scouts at a central point within halt | an hour. Thus scouting is one of the real assets of the caqmmunity,” and it [ with the enlarged plans of the organ- ization locally the movement will be ; inéreasingly a’ factor: in civic service of all kinds and a great asset in time of emergency. -Events Tonight “Our New Minister”, Lyceum thea- ter.

A notable list of speakers has been secured for the series. Miss Martha K. Lawson, who will have a part in the church workers’ institute in the second week, is one of the outstand- ing leaders among ’teen age girls in the country and New Britain is very fortunate in securing her alome’ if there were no other leaders. Dr. David G. -Downey, who speaks at the Methodist church Sunday evening Maggh 11, was formerly the general secretary of Sunday schools for the Methodist denomination throughout the country. His position as one of the foremost léaders & Sunday school circles in the Methodist church makes him a strong factor in the’ campaign.® Professor . Edward P. St. John is professor of pedagogy in the Hartford School 'of Religious Pedagogy, Hart- for Prof. St. John is no stranger to New Britain, having spoken here on other occasions. He has been one of the pioneers in the 'modern Sun- day school movement who has had a Afgh “tdeal of accomplishment for | church schools. He has been largely responsible for the movement for graded lessons in the church schools. Rev. W. J. Sly, Ph. D, is the di- I rector of religious education of the Baptist chugches of Connecticut and Rhode Island.’ He is a specialist in 'rellglo“s education, and a man =who is doing a great deal to raise the l-mlndnrd of religious education among the Baptist-churches in the two states. | Mrs. Sly,” who is also one of the {leaders, is known as a strong worker iamong girls. In addition to the |spflxkcns there will be a number local men taking part. , The purpose of the campaign is an- nounced as follows: | “The city board of religious educa- tion and the co-operating churches ‘are offering this series of lectures, packed into a short period of time. with the belief that the concentra- tion will make « ‘deeper impression {on the consciousness of the\city and will also make it possible for a great number to take advantage of the work who could not do so over an extended time. New Britain is com- ing to be a center of religious educa tion and this experiment may well of- fer a suggestion for other places. “We are fortunate in having so many excclient leaders of nqtp in the city during the périod, and “we also believe that the work of the locai men will be found valuable. “We believe profoundly that re- ligious education is coming into its day and we are glad that we can of- fer to the teachers and the public of lthe city work of a caliber that will justify our claims for recognition.” ELECTRICIANS DINE Employes of United Electric njoy Annual out-of-town of Light ‘and Watcr Company Banguet—Atwater Is Toastmaster.

Sun- day atternoon at 3:30 to discuss mat- ters of unusual importance. In the Mrst place the new recruits brought in during the recent campaign will be assigned to troops. Then the details of the eampaign to raise $2,000 for the engaging of a paid executive will be discussed. In this connection all scoutmasters are asked to bring them any snapshots of scouts, cither on hikes or at,characteristic scout activ- ities. Pictures of good turns are cspecially desirable. i There were fifteen members of the local council present at the meeting of the council last Tuesday, when the question of raising funds for the 'em: ployment of the full time executive was discussed. The meeting endorsed the projeet heartily and insured the success of the effort. The troops that are planning to go to ‘Bristol tomorrow night will go on | the train that leaves'at 6:51 p. m. The meet is' 'scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock, but it will be necessary for the New Britain scouts to leave at the above indicated time. SRR i Encouraging word comes to -the! commissioner concerning the condi-) tion of the troops of the city. New scouts are coming in all of the time. ! Along with that men a8 . offering themselves for service as scoutmas- ! teps.

Troop 1, has installed an efficiency system. Troop 10 is crowded to the limit and‘ a new troop will probably have to be organized in their part of the city to| take care of the large number of boys ; who would like to become scouts.; Troop 9 is ‘working on new quarters. | Some of the troops already an- nounce that they have earned part of their pledge toward the securing ot Thet is fine work.. i tional headquarters. - New Britain made the best showing to date in. the state meet held last Saturday. Troops from the city won the following places: second in sema- phore signalling, third in the dressing race and third in the patrol staff re- lay. The attention of the commissioner has been called to the fact that there are a great many unregistered scouts in the city. It is of course known to all that no boy has a right to wear the scout uniform who is not.a scout in full and regular standing. That means that he must have ‘paid his fec to na- All scoutmasters are urgently advised to review their lists to be sure that every boy is reg- istered at once and that word to that effect reach the commissioner. This i urgent business as national headqus ters has intimated t some troops may be dropped unless registration is completed at once. A. Katten & Son Prepared For Spring “We are prerared because we have planned to do an immense spring and Easter trade this season. That's why you see such large amd splendid stocks in our men's, ladies’ and boys’ departments,” said A. Katten & Son, of the Hartford One Price Clothing Ceo., 114-116 Asylum street, Hartford, Conn. A casual glance at the crowd- ed cabinets and racks and. the tables stocked high with new spring suits and coats, will convince you that. the men, young men, ladies, misses and boys could no where find a larger as- sortment. The hat department is glossy with the latest shades and styles of the season. The new spring shirts, neckwear, underwear and hos- fery for both men and women are at the furnishing department. ‘“Despite the scarcity of goods and high prices,” said Mr. A. Katten, the head of the firm, “we are prepared to show the biggest line of spring clothing.we have ever carried; some made by Schloss Bros., of Baltimore, and others in- cluding the best makers of clothes in the country.
