It relieves constipation and at the same time it restores the functions of digestion and in a short time no ‘laxative is needed.

Miss Winters who resides at No. 1 Hartford avenue, this city has beqn one of the unfortunates that has been afflicted as above. She says: “I) have suffered since childhood with constipation and a run down sys- tem. T have found nothing that would in any way help me until I tried Lax-a-Tone. I am giving the recommendation in the hope that it will be the means of restoring other sufferers and bring them back to health.” The Lax-a-Tone man -is at the Economy Drug Co., 365 Main St., where he is’introducing this remedy to the New: Britain public.

Not in nearly a decade, in fact, fhas the number of Apri: fallures been &0 limited, while the liabilities are the lightest for the month since 1907: When the steady increase in new én- terprises is considered the exhibit is all the more gratifying, and demon- strates that with the country generally prosperous relatively few = concerns are meeting with reverses. ‘Without exception, the {improve- ment in the insolvency record extends to each of the three classifications into which the statement . is separated: Manufacturing, ' trading and, other commercial. - Of the 1,089 defaulls last month, 281 were in manufactur- ing occupations, involving $5,993,875; trading failures nuinbered 724 and the amount was ' $5,228,818, while among agents brokers and other con- cerns not properly included in either of the two leading classes there were 64 reverses, with aggregate debts of $1,864,625. The mortality among man- ‘ufacturers -was considerably less tham in March and was also the smallest, both numerically and otherwise, for ny 'April since 1909. ' Similarly, the trading insolvencies were compara- tively moderate, making the best showing in poipt' of number of any month back to June, 1912, with the Ightest ndebtedness, save for laslL September, since July, 1913. In the class embracing agents, brokers, etc., there were fewer defaults than in any April of recent years, and this is also true of the amount involved. Another evidence of the betterment in the business mortality is seen in the reduced number of large failures, there being 22 in April with individual obligations of $100,000 or Gver, aggre- gating $5.446,960 altogether. This compares with 24 similar reverses for $7,068,703 last year; 43 in 1915 for the exceptional sum of $25,095;991 and 33 in 1914, when the amount was $9,117,- 736. In fact, it is necessary to go back to 1911 to find fewer large de- faults in April, and over an even longer period to discover smaller lia- bilities. After eliminating the failures there remained 1,047 less than $100,000 n each case and the total of these was $7,140,253, an average of $6,820. Thiy is the lowest average for April since 1906, when it was $6,171. ' Following the customary tendency, most of the large, defaults occurred in manufac- turing occupations, those for $100,000 or more In this class numbering 16 and involving $38,947,623, as against 13 a year ago for $8,071,682 and 21 in 1915 for $4,722,034. Among traders there were but 4 reserves of excep- tional size and the indebtedness did not reach $850,000, the best exhibit in both respects, aside from last year, when the number was 3 and the amount only $305,000, since 1911.

He praises the thoughtful attention of the Ottoman authorities for his. comfort. This statement is made.by the Inter- national comniittee of the Red Cross in their latest reports. Delegates of this society, have visited many depots whereln British, French and Indisn officers are placed and:they report that it must be recognized that the Turkish authorities had mage serious attempts to allaviate the harliships of these sol- diers in captivity. The report says: “In general the best hotels and pri- vate houses have been placed at the disposal of the British and French of- ficers. With some exceptions, the of- ficers have not made any complaints as to their lodgings and food. As for the soldiers, the question is different. We know that the Turkish soldiers are subjected to the same regime; they are content with very little, endure the greatest privations and are accus- tomed to the smallest amount of noutrishment. The Euroreans, prin- cipally those coming from Kut, have been so weakened by the marches across the desert that one can under- stand their restoration to heaith would be rendered difficult by an insufficient det. When, as at Afium Karahissar, they have to work, their strength is taxed to an extent which is not in pro- portiou with thelr power of resistance. This implies no blame on the Turkish authorities, but is the result of excep- tional circumstances.” At Eski Shehr, sixty-six Indlan Mo- hammedan officers are lodged in the best private houses in the town. At Brusa, which was yisited on November 21 and 22, fourteen British officers in- cluding six generals were at the Hotel Brotte, and Hotel Osmanieh. At Aflun Karahissar on November 28, there were 67 British officers, 482 British soldiers and 223 Indian sol- diers. The quality of the food was satisfactory but the quantity rather too small. The delegates received an as- surance from the Turkish high com- mand that the prisoners shall not be obliged to work more than eight hours a day; they receve exactly the same food as the Turkish soldiers. The delegates declare themselves extremely satisfied with the arrange- ments made by the British authorities for the housng, feeding and clothing of Turkish prisoners. ARE THEY ANTICIPATING? The Hague and Berne Both Waat to Receive Peace Tribunals. The Hague, Netherlands, May 11.— Where will the eventual peace con- gress be held, at Berne or the Hague? The question has recently formed the subject of public discussion in the Netherlands, where it is naturally hoped’ the latter city will be fixed on for that purpose. That the !choice will lie between these two there is considered here little reason to doubt. Eithet city would form’ a ¢onvenient center so far as its situation is con- cerned, but the presence of the Peace Palace in Holland’s diplomatic capi- tal, and the Hague's general reputa- tion as the scene of the peace con- ference, give it, it is claimed, an ad- vantage over its assumed rival. Holland has a great interest in the choice falling on the Hague, for that is about the only chance of her se- curing a voicé in the weighty confer- ence that will fix Europe's destines. As questions will inevitably arise at the peace congress vitally' affecting the nation which holds the mouths of three of northern FEurope's great waterways,—the Rhine, = the Meuse and the Scheldt—the sitting of such a congress at the Hague might prove of the greatest importance to 'Hol- land, quite apart from the welcome international prestige which neces- sarily would accrue to the state with- in whose borders it is held.
