SALTS IF KIDNEYS QR BLADDER BOTHER 2 —_— Harmiess to flush Kidneys and neu- tralize irritating acids— Splendid for system. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profl!use:“lglln, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can’t control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes wvery painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- lize the acids in the urine =o it no Jonger is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here vou have a pleasant, efferves- cent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. OBSERVED THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING AT MANSFIELD Mr. and Mrs. James W. Burdick Round Out Fifty Years of Married Life. The privilege of celebrating their golden wedding anniversary was grant- ed Mr. and Mrs. James W. Burdick of Moore Meadow, Mansfield, Saturday. There were twenty-five relatives and friends who ed them at their hospitable home and fittingly observ- ed the day. were remembered with about v dollars in gold, besides numerous other and costly gifts. There was no formal observance, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Burdick receiving their guests at their home with the cordial welcome which is ever extend- ed and the occasion was made one of pleasure. Mrs. Burdick, whose maiden name was Catherine Elizabeth Messinger, was born in Barkhamstead. Conn., in 184S. Mr. Burdick was born in Hop- kinton, R. I, in 1843. At the age of 17 he enlisted from Jewett City in Co. F, 8th regiment, and served throughout the war. There were seven children of whom six are living. Out of town guests were: Miss Alice »M. Burdick, Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Mills, William Waterman and Miss McNa- mara, of Hartford and M Minnie L. Fuller of Mansfield. A bountiful sup- per was served at 6.30, the table being lighted by a golden candle, a gift of New Hartford friends. Following the supper there was a muslcal selection, “Their Golden Wedding,” on the pho- nograph .and a duet by Miss McNa- mara and Mrs. Joseph mock, - “At the End of"a Perfect Day.” There were also_other selections by the members of the party. All extended the hap- Py couple their best wishes for many years to come. FOR EXTENSIVE USE OF BLUE UNIFORM. Idea is Strongly Favored by Adjt. Gen. George M. Cole. A more extensive use of the blue uniform ampng military men is strongly favored by Adjt. Gen. George M. Cole, commented Monday on ct that “fine feathers make fine is being accepted as an un- questionable truth by the leading mil- itary authorities of the country. Ma- jor General Bell of the United States army recently pointed out the United marines as examples of his be- lef that an attractive uniform in- spires a soldier to live up to a sol- dier's ideas and General Cole agrees with him. General Cole admitted that the smartness of the blue uniform, with its shinning brass buttons worn by the marines at sea and ashore, have 2 marked effect on the efficiency of those troops. “Of course,” said General Cole, “the olive drab uniform ha sits good points and, when it comes to field service, it is just the thing. But it is a working uniform and when a soldier is not in the field, I am sure he feels that he wants a smart uni- form — a uniform distinctive from his working clothes. You know, when a working man goes to church, he wants to be in his best clothes; that’s the case in point. When a soldier is off the field he wants to be in a snappy, smart uniform and the blue uniform is the one for him. I heartily favor a more extensive use of the blue uniform, but, of course, 1 believe the olive drab to be the thing for field service.

In the Groton town court Tuesday morning the case against the disturb- ers of the peace at the Palmer ship- yard last Saturday night was brought by Prosecuting Attorney Warren B. Burrows before Judge Frederick P. Latimer. One man, Henry J. McDermott, was charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. McDermott had a previ- ously good record and allowance was made in his case for his good charac- ter in the past. The case was nolled by payment of the costs, amounting to $16.09. McDermott claimed he haid an honorable discharge from the Fif- teenth New York infantry and served through the Spanish-American war. His home is in Brooklyn. Fred Pierce was charged with intox- ication and breach of peace and for the first count was fined $5 and costs, amounting to $18.70. For the second he was fined $25 instead of the 320 days’ jail sentence which the judg: at first considered. On account of his being a married man with five cl dren he was given the lesser punish- ment with a caution that he would receive all that was coming to him if the offense was repeated. Several witnesses were hegrd and it was brought out that there was a distinct difference of opinion as to what really happened at the plumbing shop of the plant during the disturb- ance which resulted in Superintendent Meader receiving a severe cut on one side of his head. Captain Meader says he has no idea who it was who struck him with a piece of He saw several men handling He sent for Officer Whipple and told him to put several men out of the ship.

Officer Whipple stated that he was at the office of the plant, which is h station while the rzen are being paid off on Saturday afternoons. He was sent for to come to the plumbing shop and on arriving found a fight going on. He ordered the men out and ask- ed Captain Meader to help him put them out when they told him to go to h—I1 with his law. He saw someone strike the captain and the man had a plece of pipe in each hand. Directly the first blow was struck Whipple fired his revolver, striking the man in the arm.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR!IA out of the shop to safety, being later assisted by Mr. Pike, who arrived on the scene as he got Meader out of doors. Pierce testified In his own behalf that he had been engaged to take care of the plumblns shop at the Palmer yard by E. A. Morse, president of the tompany, Mr. Morse finding him in New York, where he had previously worked for him, and telling him he would confer a favor on him if he would take the Noank position. He said Captain Meader had told him sev eral times that he would raise his pay and had jollled him along for weeks in that manner. That he was not gmtin what his position called for and t on the Saturday afternoon in queuflo‘n he went into the office and told Captain Meader he wanted more money. The captain refused it and denied that he had ever promised it. He then told him he was through Meader followed him to the plumbing shop and asked for the keys. These he gave him and Meader went out, coming back directly and asking Pierce if he wanted to fight. On his saying that he did not. Meader struck him. All he did was to try to ward off the blows the captain attempted to land. He said he only defended him- self, and did not know who struck the captain. After that he secured his coat and heard nothing about being under arrest. As he had an appoint- ment with a man in Mypstic he left the shop, and was later arrested in Mystic. While he admitted having been drinking, he was sure he knew exactly what happened and was cor- roborated in his statements by two men, Alec Miller and a Mr. Bray, both :rf whom said Meader forced the fight- ng. Superintendent Meader was recalled and denied the story, in which he was upheld by the testimony, again given, of Officer Whipple. e Latimer sald the whole condi- tion showed gullt and, while he was inclined to be easy on the offenders this time, they would be severely pun- ished if they ap! before him again.
