HELPFUL WORDS From a Norwich Citizen. Is your back lame and painful? Does it ache especially after exer- son? ¥s there soreness in the kidney region? These symptoms suggest weak kid- weys.

In the annual meetin of the Con- necticut probate assembly at Hartford on Wednesday the legislative commit- tee of the amsociation made a report ihrough Judge Marvin on the bills that have been mtroduced into the general assembly affecting the probate court. One of the most important amend- ments requested to an existing law provides that creditors outside the state are to be given the same length of time as is given crditers within the state, having claims against gg estate. “When does a will become a public document ?” was spiritedly discussed. While the law says that whea a will is a matter of public record. News When It Is News. Judge Baxter, who is at the same time editcr of the Naugatuck Dafly News, warmly of the newpaper fratreaity He said the people looked to the newspapers to get the news when it was news, and he felt that the probate court should give out the facts as S0On as they became public property legally. The matter was referred to the legisla- tive committee to take such action as they see fit regarding the bill now be- fore the general assembly to the effect “That when a will is approved and admitted to probate or an inventory lodged with the court, said bill or in- ventory shall be counsidered public doc- uments and accessible to public in- spection during the usual business hours of the court.” The subject of the establishment of a juvenile court was thoreughly dis- ussed. One bill which has been introduced in the gemeral assembly places the entire jurisdiction over de- linquent juveniles in the hands of the probate court. The opimion general- ly expressed was that the establish- ment of juvenile court work was a step in the right diréction, but senti- ment was divided as to the advisibili- ty of adding this duty to the work al- ready done by the probate court. The whole subject was referred to the leg- islative committee to consider, and present to the special committee of the gemeral assembly having charge of these bills.

GROUNDHOG SEEMS TO BE MAKING GOOD. Real Winter is Here Now—Tempera- ture Near Zero Point. In contrast to the springlike weather of ten days ago Norwich is experienc- ing some real winter with the mercury always within striking distance of the zero ‘miark. ~ Although probably at no time has the thermometer registered below zero, it has been om several mornings this week in that immediate vicinity. The freezing of Tuesday's snew and clush made walking uncer- tain Wednesday and the roads iwere coated with ic~ making travel difficult I for the horses. Tce is reported about eight fnches in thickness and al- though there is some smow on the ponds there is no doubt but that the iceman is coming into his own. The winter has been a remarkabiy open ome, with but an occasional flur- ry of snow and no ice up to two weeks ago. The groundhog’s shadow prom- ised six weeks of winter and now we'ra getting ft.

LITTLE BUSINESS FOR THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Senator Johnson of Montville Explains His Vote Against Cadwell. / Hariford, Conn., Feb 12.—There was | an insignificant amount of business for the general assembly to give atten- tion to today. | The temsion among the democrats | over the rejection of the govermor's nomination of Mr. Cadwell was shown | by incidents in the senate, and Sen- ator Johnson of Montville made a per- | sonal explanation of his vote against the nominee. Governor Balawin also | in a statemént declared thei he in- | tended to send in another name, and | that he was against a three headed commission. The feeling prevailed that the governor would not have Attorney Generai Light press , charges against Commissioner MacDonald at this time. The mileage for members problem | was in the semate, and while there was unamimity of opinion that mem- bers ought to have transportation at | the state’s expense, there was differ- ence of opinion as to the means to be employed to get it from the railroads. | As it now stands, tho bill to compel the railroads to give transportation in | exchange for the constitutional cents a mile round trip has been I | ferred to different committecs by the two branches, and a committee on eon- | ference has been named to decide which committee shail get it. This afternoon the judiciary com- mittee gave hearings en appointments of higher court judges, while the spe- cial committee of the senate looked into the circumstances of the “three finger bribe offer” spoken of by Sen- ator Hurley in connectlon with the highway commissionership. Senator Johnson’s Statement. Senater Johnson's statement was as follows: “Because of an aricle in the news- papers 1 find it necessary to explain why I voted against Mr. Cadwell. I did not enter the debate because of personalities that had cropped up_ in them. It was stated yesterday that there was no opposition two vears ago against the name of Mr. Cadwell, but there was great opposition, more than there was this time. A committee of men who were not from New London county, but from other parts of the state, waited upon the governor and showed him how widespread this op- position was to Mr. Cadwell. Yet the governor Baw fit to send in his name. T also regret through threats of malice the effort to hold up the New London harbor bill I had the honor to be a member of the sub-committee that helped to draw up the demoeratic platform, and I want to state I stand by every word that the democratic platform infers in relation to the high- way, commissfonership. I want that office put on a business basis so that $1,000,000 worth of goods will be de- livered for every million dellars in money. These pointed shafts have been directed at New London county, and 1 want to say right here that [ have opposed Bryan F. Mahan in any measure in which I did not agree with him and I will continue to do so when T do not agree with him and I reserve the right in this senate to oppose any measure in which I cannot consistent- ly agree. The democratic party is on trial in this state and did not get a majority of the votes of the electors. 1t is here by chance. I stand with that party for a comeptent highway commissioner, but I do not approve of the mere swap of one incompetent for another incompetent and 1 could not stand for it yesterday.” After the senate adjournment Sen- ! ator Peck had a short discussion with Senator F. A. Johnsen which was con- cluded by the former saying to Mr. Johnson: “Fred, after the wau you YVoted vesterday T have lost all respect for you.” Say Goodbye To Pimples Stuart’s Calcium Wafers Will Drive Them Away.
