hardship to give up circulation. but each
had received special privileges from the
New York legislature and it was necessary
so to amend the national banking law as

privileges, for otherwise they would not

Seeking Real Cooperation
Governor Strong, who undoubtedly is in
full accord with the national reserve
board at Washington, hopes to induce
stat. chartered institutions in New York
state to come within the family of the
federal banking system. But, as was the
case in 1864, the majority of the state
bs nky seemed to be reluctant. Their man
ayers are not yet assured that the ad-
vantage of cooperation of that kind will
be sufficient to Justify them in placing
their institutions under the eve of the
federal reserve board. The reasons are

RUSSIAN LEADER GIVES
OUTLINE OF POLICY OF HIS

fishes a long interview by its Petrograd
correspondent with Prof Paul N Milu-
koff leader of the constitutionalist
democratic party in the Russian Duma
Professor AIilukoff said Russia was
ready to fight for one year. or two
years, If necessary The momentary sue
cesses of the Germans did not disturb
Russia's patience, as the people knew
that this was war of resistance and
wearing down and that time was Rus
sia's best ally
The Russian programme Professor
Milukoff continued. was liberty in the
Black with the possession of the
straits leading from it, evidently inn
plying that Russia purposed to occupy
Constantinople in the event of the sue
cess of the allies. A written agreement
IL this sense, Professor Milukoff said, al
ready had been concluded between Great
Britain France and Russia. He was not
sure whether this agreement included
the islands of the Tenedos and Imbros,
which. the conference of London in 1903
decided should belong to the power in
possession of the straits.

MANUFACTURERS HAVE
 NEGLECTED REPORTS
Attention of Chamb;r Of Commerce Called to Matter by Census Bureau

The New Britain Chamber of Com merce, which is representing the census bureau of Washington, D. C., in the census of manufactures in this city has recommended that all manufacturers give the requests for census reports which were due Janu- ary 15, prompt and careful considera- tion.
 Secretary A. H. Andrews has re- ceived word from Director William J. Harris of the census bureau that large number of manufacturers have neglected to make the reports re- quired for the census of 1914.
 This not only delays the publication Of the census, but adds greatly to the cost of the work The law directs that a census of manufactures shall be taken every fifth year, and the di rector has done everything possible to facilitate the work. The blanks on which to make reports were mailed to all manufacturers with the request that the returns be forwarded to the census bureau by January Is, 1915.. The cooperation of chambers of com merce boards of trade, and other or ganizations interested in the country's industrial development has been so- llClleu, put notWlIHStdlo1lls IieIl Voly general response and assistance. com peratively few reports have been re- ceived, and a large number of those that have reached the office are very defective.
 It is feared that the importance of these statistics showing the condition of all industries during the year 1914 is not appreciated. Unless all man ufacturers make proper returns the relative standing of one industry with another and of one city with another will be seriously affected. The city of New Britain should not lose the position to which it is entitled indus trially, and it is the duty of every citizen to see that full and complete returns are made of all our indus tries.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Notice of Great Britains refusal to grant a re- guest of the United States government that the former German steamship Dacia be permitted to carry cargo of cotton for Germany to Rotterdam without molestation was received at the state departm ent. At the same time dispatches from Galveston said that the Dacia has nearly finished taking on her cargo of cotton and was preparing to sail for Rotterdam
 The British government declared it could not consent to waive any of it's rights in the case of the Dacia and assigned as one of the reasons for it's position the fact that such action might constitute a precedent which would be invoked to the prejudice of the British position in regard to enemy ships transferred to neutral reg lstry during the war. Notice of Eng lands reply was sent by the depart ment to Edward N. Breitung, the pur- chaser of the Dacia, who is in New ork. Contracts have been made for the Dacia to deliver her cotton cargo at Bremen, and the ship was to have sailed from Galveston not later than

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION

Much disease, trouble, suffering, de- pression and worry, usually blamed to other causes is due to constipation.
 Even chronic constipation can be cor rected by care in the diet and proper treatment with gentle laxative.
 The use of harsh laxatives, unfortun- ately so common, gives temporary relief but in the end aggravates constipation. Pinkletsare dainty, ,sugar-coated granules, they act gently, causing no nausea or gripping. They clear away the waste and prevent congestion. With little per- sistence, which the result is we'll worth, Pinklets really correct chronic constipa- tion.

January s. She was detained, how ever, pending receipt of the British answer to the state departments re- quest that she be permitted to make the one voyage to Rotterdam without prejudice to the case of either coun- try should her status ever be contested. It is said that the freight charges on the Dacia's present cargo amount to nearly as much as was paid for the vessel when she was purchased from the Ham burg-Am erican line. The cotton on board of her would not be treated as contraband if the British should seize her, as IS expected. Thus neither the owner of the vessel nor the cotton shippers apparently stand to lose any more by venturing the trip than by defaulting on existing contracts. Should it be decided to send the Dacia to sea the case will be watched here with the keenest in- terest and a decision in the case will probably be of great significance with regard to the proposal of the admin istration to buy German and Austrian ships now confined to American ports and operate them as a government owned steamship line.

Household Notes

Stale macaroons should be pounded and used to flavor custards of various buildings.
 To prevent honey becoming "sugary" keep tightly covered and al- ways in a dark place
 Warmed-up meat loses flavor. therefore the gravy should be very good and wei seasoned.
 Fathers or big brothers neglige shirts can be very we'll cut over into nigntshirts for little boys.
 When eggs crack in boiling add a teaspoonful of salt to the water and the whites will not come out.
 kneading boards and such things should be kept ir a cupboard or some place entirely free from dust.
 String any spare buttons you may have on a cord, that they may be easy to get when you want them.
 To keep eyeglasses from steam ing in cold weather rub with vaseline and polish With a silk handkerchief
 When boiling rice add a little lemon juice to the water. This makes the rice white and separates the grains.
 Add a little salt to gasoline be- fore using it to clean spots on fab rics and no ring will remain around the spot.
 To get a good light from all oil amp, the wicks must be changed when they become clogged. Soaking wicks in vinegar twenty-four hours be- fore putting them in the lamps adds in getting a clear flame.
 For Belgian pudding take half a pound of prunes, half a pound of cur rants, half a pound of flour, three ounces of suet, two ounces of mixed peel, half a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda, half a teaspoonful of spice one egg, a pinch of salt and a little milk. Stone the prunes after scala ing and drying. Mix all the dry in gradients together. Dissolve the soda in warm milk. Beat the egg and add the mixture: Beat all until quite blended and pour into a well-greased mould, filling it only two-thirds up. Boil steadily for five hours.
