AT THE EMPIRE.

The press agent says:
1.-The success of musical comedy is
first a good book, next a good cast of
prin cipals, then a rollicking, romping
youthful chorus who can sing, dance
and wear nice costumes and last but
not least, a complete and elaborate
scenic production and a wealth of
electric to embellish the aforemen-
toned. Such a production has Halton
Powell furnished Harry Emerson with
in his new starring vehicle, Might On
Broadway This is a rollicking farce
with a musical background. IL is a
farce of complications, the plot of
which is the result of three men who
have spent the night out during which
they get their heads as we'll as their
drinks mixed. After many narrow es-
capes. Emerson, who plays the part
of Herman Fielder, the jolly German
candymaker is finally extricated from
his difficulties and everybody is
happy. You will all go home whist
ling and humming the beautiful melo-
dies and thinking of the pretty girls
and their costumes"
hight On Broadway will be the
attraction at the Empire for three

 Ut would fortify the national sov- ereignty, as against the sovereignty of the people of the several states. It would, so far forth, centralize politi- cal power.
 Tt would also favor the rich, who can import liquors in large lots for their own use. as against the poor, who cannot.
 Tt has proved a failure, as tried by Connecticut 50 years ago, and local option has been demonstrated to be more adaptable.
 "A large part of our people," he con- tinues, (though I am not one of the number) drink intoxicating liquors, sometimes, as beverage. Almost all those who come from foreign coun- tries do so. They we're born to the habit Most of them drink with mod eration. They take wine or beer as most of us take tea or coffee. So did our Puritan forefathers on both sides of the Otlantic."
 The fact that the characteristics of the various states in the union differ widely leads him to the conviction that 1t would be unwise to load upon any state, by a nationwide prohibitory law. a5policy which it may disapprove because deeming it unsuited to it's par ticular circumstances and conditions.

BuIkeley schooIboy Franks,

Several students of Bulkeley school have gotten themselves into a pre- dicament that will cause their par entss to make expenditures before they can repair the damage they occas- stoned on a recent trip to Quaker Hill.
 The youths went for a trip through the country. They went to the school house at "Jeromes Corners" and introduced themselves to the school school teacher knew of the imposf- teacher as inspectors but the tion and ordered the lads from the building. Outside the bicycles of scholars were taken and a trip of a couple of hours or more was enjoyed before the wheels were returned, some of them damaged. The escapade of the "hookies" was reported to coun- ty officers and the case has been talk en up with a view of prosecuting the lads if the damage they occasioned is not made good. The identity of the students is known and the parents will be compelled to assist the boys out of their difficulty.

Sciatica Gives
 Fair Warning
Start Taking Rheuma at Once and Prevent Rheumatism
 from Becoming Chronic

Sharp, darting pains from the hips down the legs to the knee are signals of approach of sciatica, and should be treated at once to prevent rheuma- tism becoming chronic.
 Rhetifna dislodges the little uric acid crystals in the blood vessels feeding the great sciatic nerve and creates a free movement of the muscles and joints. It stimulates the kidneys, liver, bowels and skin to extra work in throwing off the irritating poisons throughout the system.s
 Read the testimony of Guy Torley, the great cyclist, of 265 Dayton Ave, St. Paul, Minn.: T was so crippled with sciatic rheumatism in my hips that could not walk without crutches. I spent over $500 without relief. Was persuaded to try Rheuma, and after taking three bottles the rheumatism had entirely left me-.
 Lee & Osgood, and all druggists sell Rheuma. It is good for all forms of rheumatism, and costs so little you cannot afford to suffer for want of it.

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered pr. Edwards Olive Tablets Are
 a Harmless Substitute

pr. Edwards Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel - are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that ca1omel does but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids.
 It is best not to take calonel, but to let pr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take pr. Ed wards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and heavy" Note how they clear clouded brain and how they 'perk up' the spirits. At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

 The chartered accountants who pre- pared the balance sheet append the following note:
 The foregoing balance sheet has been prepared on the following basis The fixed capital items consisting Of land, buildings, machinery, water power, etc. at the various plants are stated in accordance with the values of the appraisals made by the Aneri- can Appraisal company in November, 1913, and subsequently,. The copper rollers are valued at twenty (20) cents per pound. the inventories at cost, and the book accounts at what is consid- cred good and collectib1e value. The debt. of the Sterling Improvement company is in. accordance with the value shown by the balance sheet of that company.

Remarkable AppIe Yield.

Edwin E. Lathrop has favored. The Bulletin with a three foot branch from one of his apple trees containing 26 large, well formed and unblemished russets. It is remarkable to find so many apples on so short a branch and of a uniform size, but the remarkable thing about this particular branch is that it comes from an old, tree MT. Lathrop, whose orchards are located on the Bargytown ledges in Bozrah, has a very large crop of apples this year, upwards of, 1000 bushels. This bumper crop is the resultfof intensive farming and modern methods. Mir Lathrop sprays his trees and takes great care of his orchard. with the result that ms old trees which ordinarily would have yielded but few apples under the old methods are loaded down with ap- pies thickly grouped on the branches.

The Governor and Prohibition.

Governor Baldwin says, in a per sonal letter to J. H. Mansfield, chair man of the Temperance and Citizen ship committee of the New Haven Christian Endeavor union, that hes is opposed to the passage of an amend ment to the constitution favoring na- tion- wide prohibition. If elected to the United States senate the governor will not favor the Shepard -Hobson bill, because he does not believe a candidate for public office can pledge himself in advance to vote upon pend- ing legislation.
 Governor Baldwin says he does not believe in the principle of the bill in the first place, because, it is legisla- tive enactment transgressing states rights. The prohibition of the manu- facture or sale of intoxicating liquors is within the authority of the state and cannot be assumed by the fed eral government.
 A constitutional amendment to give the same power to the United States would seriously disturb the balance be- tween the state and the nation. He says further:
 Tt would take away a part of the states sovereignty over her citizens.

GERMAN PAPERS REPRINT CERARD'S
MESSAGE REGARDING C0NTRABAND

sador Gerard is undoubtedly the view
expressed by the Unified States in its
reply to Germany's protest that Eng
land and France were violating the
declaration of London with regard to
what was contraband. The reply
stated that the United States with
drew it's suggestion, made to the bel
ligerent countries, that the declara-
ion of London be adopted as a tempo-
rary code TO naval warfare for use in
the present war and that this was
done because of the unwillingness of
some of the belligerents to adopt the
declaration of London without modi-
fication.
The United States government there
fore, the reply went on to say, would
insist that it's rights and its duties
and those of it's citizens in the pres
ent war be defined by the existing
rules of international law and the
treaties of the Unitde States with the
beiligerents. 1t also said that the
United States government would re-
serve the right to enter a demand or
protest in every case in which its
rights and duties are violated or their
free exercise hindered.
