OF L. DOES NOT BOTHER THIS CHAP Orders Steal?and Potatoes, Then Refuses to Pay Not at all abashed by the high cost of living, nor in the least nonplused by the depleted condition of his purse, Jacob Gordeck of Hartford entered the Arcade Restaurant last night in an | attempt to prove to his own satisfac- tion that there really is no scarcity of potatoes and that beef is not as high as many imagine. Gordeck ordered | two costly steaks and a heaping plate of hash-browned potatoes, devoured them, admitted to the waiter that it was the most appetizing dish he had tasted in many days—and then refused to pay. Arraigned before Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morn- ing, he was found guilty and fined $20 and costs. Gordeck is now convinced _that not only has thé price of food- stuffs gone up, but also that it is more expensive to be arrested. Officer Frank Hahn, who made the arrest, testified that Gordeck did not have a cent in his pockets at the time. He also testified that he was recently ejected from a Hartford car for re- fusal to pay his carfare. Threatens to Kill Family. The threats of her husband to the effect that not only would he turn on the gas and asphyxiate the whole fam- ily, but also, to make sure of their de- mise he would set fire to the house as well, frghtened Mrs. John Cook and as a result Cook was charged with breach of the peace. Mrs. Cook testi- fied that she returned from the hospi- tal only a few days ago and yesterday her husband came home from work in a drunken condition. She claims that he demanded $25 of her and when asked what he wanted with so much money declared it was his intention to go out and buy a good dinner. He then threatened her life, the wife tes- tifled. Cook denied the charges. He said he returned frm work yesterday with $100 which his wife took. Later he asked for the return of $50 to repay his mother who had forwarded that amount with which to buy a new fur- nace. _A fine of $7 and costs was met- ed out and as Mrs. Cook started to leave the court room her husband, now reconciled, advised her to get her cents as, he thought, he had to pay it anyway. Other Cases On Docket. For causing handbills to be distrib- uted broadcast about the streets Mrs. Nasta Sabesky of Broad street was fined $6 and costs. Two boys, 7 and 8 years old, testified that on Sunday jourse of the evening Miss Soulick | 1;,c"woman hired them for a dime each ms the recipient of many beautiful ‘nen pieces. | Been our new Military cut Over- its?

The wo- man admitted the charge, explained that she was doing it for a friend who was just opening a new store, and said she did not know she was doing ‘wrong. Charles Steppler was arrested at his wife’s home on Lincoln street by Su- pernumerary Officer Kolosky last night on a charge of drunkenness and breach of the peace. The officer tes- tified that the door and window had been broken and Mrs. Steppler de- clared that her husband came to her house last evening and caused the dfs- turbance. She told the court that she has been separated from him since July and desires to be protected from him. “All I want,” the woman said, “4s to have him keep away just s long as he can’t leave the drink alone” Steppler denied the charges of makmg trouble and said he went to his wife's house to get some tools he had left there. He promised to cease annoying her and to insure his doing so Judge Kirkham sent him to jail for 30 days and suspended execution of sentence. Anton Kendl, charged with non sup- port, was represented by Judge Ed- ward O. Bowers of Manchester. It was explained that Kendl's wlfe- is wife No. 2 and she objects ot caring for the four children born to Kendl by his first wife. The case was settled ta Hive, L. O. T. M., meets at Main street.

Her son, Wil- liam H. Buell, sailed from New York for France in April and is now some- where in that foreign country doing his “bit.” Several of the letters written by him just after he had stepped foot on foreign soil follows: “Havre, August 16. “Dear Father and Mother:— “We arrived here at 7:30 a. m. Go on to Paris at 5 p. m. The French I had in High school and college stands me in good now. I have to be in- terpreter for the bunch. We just got our passes for Paris. It was very rough in the channell last night. This is a typical fishing town.” “Parls, August 17. “I haven't had time to write much -for a few days. We left Havre at 5 p. m. on Thursday. While there, we (there are-three of us) met a sales- man for the Auto Strop company. He hired a taxi and took us around Havre. There was a wreck on the railway so -didn’t get to Paris until 12 p. m. Should have got in at 9:30. Some men from the field service meot us at the station and we had war bread‘and chocolate. Got te bed about 1 a. m. Got up at 7:30, had Toll call and physical exams. “They only want three ambulance drivers. All the rest go tramsport. I am.one of the lucky three. I prefer ambulance work. I will have an op- portunity to go right to the front dur- {ing the battles while as a camion driver I would be farther hack. We leave for a camp five miles from the front at 5 p. m. tomorrow and after a week in training go to the front. “When I have more time I will tell you more incidents. After lunch a fellow and I went downtown. Didn't get any mail from you yet. It will take at least 25 days for a letter to get through they tell me. “It is a wonderful country here, nicer than London. The only thing that is punk is the French wine. One can’'t drink the water and the wine is worse. It is very bitter, puckers up the lips and makes the teeth black.” 1 “Somewhere in France, Aug. 19. “I am at a camp 50 miles from 1864 1917 Chas.

The detonation of the cannon is very plain., Here we shall have to drive and drill’ We got in last night about.8 p. m! This a. m. we went to visit-some Boche trenches and dug- outs that were used in the great drive Fritz made three years ago when he got so near Paris. We climbed all through them. There are barbed wire entanglements here also. “This is a great country, warm, not hot, and not like a city; no trolleys, only a single track railway. What gets me is why I didn't get any mail in Paris. Lots of the fellows did. Mail came in on three ships all of which left after our ship sailed. You see we were delayed so long that other ships had time to get across before us. “I do hope you didn’t believe the press reports that we were sunk. In one of my wires I said disregard ad- | verse news. I thought that you would understand. I wonder if you thought I was drowned and so did not write. If that is s0 I am sorry. It must have been an awful suspense to you by the time vou heard either by cables or letter. “For breakfast we have war bread and coffee. War bread is cut in chunks. It is black and has a sour taste, no butter. For lunch we have potato and meat all piled in one pan, war bread and chocolate. For dinner we get the same. There is plenty but not a variety. “Three of us who have been given ambulances, leave for Moudinn, about 100 miles out of Paris. We go into training there. Then for the front! We sleep in a framework covered with a sheet of iron. On this we lay our blankets. It is harden than a Rip Van Winkle bed I can assure you.

Your doctor will tell you ninety { per. cent of all sickness comes from in- | active bowels and liver. | . Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com- pound mixed with olive oil to act on i the liver and bowels, which he gave to | his patients for years. { Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the substi- tute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear~ ing the system of impurities.
