Tells Interesting Abone Hl.s Mother. L4 - Mr. Hamm, who is well known in]] Plainville, came into the, Economy N. E. Drug Co., at 365 Ma¥f street and told the Lax-a-Tone man a very inter- esting story about how Herbal Lax-a- Tone brought back health to his Mother, who had been a. t sufferer. The Hamms have lived’in Plainville for over {welve years and are very well known. Mr. Hamm says: “My mother has had indigestion with constipation, gas and bloat. . She ] felt run down and tired out and}: nothing seemed to help her until she took Lax-a-Tone. Since taking this remarkable remedy she has picked up wonderfully and you would hardly know her as'the same woman. I am | very glad to indorse this renedy to the public.” Herbal Lax-a-Tone is well knqwn in New Britain and it has demdnstrated its merit as a remedy for headaches; billous attacks, sour acid stomach, dizzy spells, and can be relied upon ta get results.

A regimental recruiting campaign to boost the enrollments in the First Connecticut Infadtry was inaugurated in New Britain this afternoon by First Lieutenant May of the headquarters company assisted, by Lieutenant Ray- mond R. Rand of Company I, this city. Although Ldeutensint, May and his detail will leave theé city tomor- row night. the recruiting campaign will comtinue indefinitely and Lieu- tenant Rand and his detail will be here until Friday. While the cam- paign in shis city is primarily to fill the ranks of the First Regiment, the first work here will be to fill out the complément of men in both Company I and E. Any men enlisting here, utenant May states, swill be as- signed to any command they desig- nate providing that company has not its full: quota of men.: Already re- cruiting offices have been opened in clty hall, in the room recently vacated by the naval recruiting officers, and at the state armory on Arch street. Assisting Lieutenant Rand are Privates Gerald Crean and Silas J. Lynch, both of-Company I. Lieuten- ant May’'s part in the recruiting cam- paign is essentially to stimulate inter- est and to this end he has arranged for special programs .at both F and Keeney's theater beginning :in afternoon and continuing through to- morrow night at each performance. Not only will the recruiting officers make out the eplistment applications of any men, but they will also give full information to all who seek it. Assisting Lieutenant May are Ser- geant Garrison and Privates Saunders of Company H and Gibbons of the regimental ‘band. ' Sergeant Garrison is an actor of considerable reputation and on the stage he employs all his ability in this line to instill interest in recruiting. WheY¥ever he has been he has ' stimulated great interest. Private Saunders is the color bearer and Private Gibbons gives the vari- ous bugle calls as a part of thé re- cruiting act. Sergeant Garrison spoke at Keeney's this afternoon and will speak at both Keeney's. and “Fox' this evening and also at tomorrow's performances. Another plan of Lieutenant May is to have formal army flag lowering exercises at the green each evening. His idea is to have a full detail of men from Company E. fully armed, stand at parade rest beneath the flag while the colors are being lowered at night, while the bugler gives the calls to the colors and retreat. This is a ‘exercise and is. WM MAKING ’EM WORK Special Police Squad May Dissolve Partnership of Street & Walker, Long in Business at Sunnyside. In expectation that a worthy'double purpose would be met and a per- plexing problem s&olved, police offi- cials are considering the advisability of ridding the center streets of un- desirables and recruiting them' for service in the agricultural brigade ‘at the Town Farm or municipal gardens. Annually with the advent of warm 'weather, ®shoppers, policemen on street duty and others are bothered by voluntary employes of t & ‘Walker”, members' of the “We Don’t ‘Work" club and other similar depart- ments, who line up in doorways or hold down the curb at points where passersby can be noted and an écca- sional “touch” made. Moving slowly at the approach of a policeman or his command to move on, they again become stationary when he passes. ‘With all the agricultural aid that can be secured needed, plans for re- cruiting the aid of those having plen- ty of time and, In almost all cases, the physical ability to get out an do, at least, a little cultivation are being seriously considered.

If necessary, regular or special policemen could be sta- tioned at the municipal garden plots to see that those drafted really made good use of their time. “It would not be necessary to pay them much of anything,” the speaker continued, “for they certainly earn nothing now.” TIERNEY-ROBINSON. mwmmmasu Mary’s Church Today.
