WAR BRINGS REDISTRIBUTION
 OF WEALTH IN GREAT BRITAIN
Conditions Unforeseen By Economists Settled Cues tion of Provisions For The Masses of Pianos Has Greatly Increased Also

London, Nov. 10-How completely the war has baffled the foresight of economic experts is shown by the re- markable wave of surface prosperity which the masses of Great Britain are experiencing. Only a little more than a year ago political economists were discussing seriously the need for or ganizing public works on great scale for the tens of thousands who would be thrown out of employment. Now financiers like Sir George Paisgh, editor of the Economist, and Edwin Montagu the financial secretary to the treasury are sounding strong warnings against the extraVagant Hv- ing of the nation as a whole. Money is being squandered on all sides, de- c1ared Sir George Paish in recent speech, and the newspapers are talk ing up the same cry.
 The conditions which the war has developed, have settled the problem of public works on lines which ap- parently were not foreseen. The enor- nous increase of the British army to three million men, and the demand for workers in the public and private munitions works, has absorbed all the available manhood of the country procurable on a basis of voluntary service, and given a great surplus Of employment to the United States.
  even 1avish1y and extravagantly to, contractors and to workingmen, and for the support of the families of sol diers, according to the economists, and it is being spent by the people at large with equal 1avishness and ~ex- trava gance.
 These conditions cause excitFd de- bate by all classes. In the enormous redistribution of wealth the general drift would appear to be from the. hands of<the rich and the middle classes into the pockets of the work fngrnen land the families of soldiers. While the workers furnish a major ity of the men under arms, the peo- pie with large estates and those with savings and middle class incomes be- Eeve that they furnish, through tax alton and war loans, the bulk of the money which is carrying on the war, and which finds it's way down through the government and contractors to the small merchants and Workmen This results in the enforcement Of unusual economy upon the wealthy and the middle classes except those concerned fin war work, who are many), dnd encourages unusually free spending in the stratum usually most economical. While the Con vent Garden Opera has been sus- pended during the war time the thea tres of the masses, and the picture shows are prospering. The hotels and restaurants supported by the wealthy pass their dividends; fthe popular re sorts are doing good business Tail ors and fashionable dressmakers claim to be suffering great depres- sion but the wives and daughters of worlzingmen are dressed better than ever before in their lives. Wine mer- chants are putting up their shutters, but the public houses where beer and gin are consumed are crowded.
 MT Montagu complained of great spending on 1uxuries. and cited the fact that the sale of pianos has in creasedA He called upon every citt- zen to be prepared to put at least

ssSalonilxi, where the Allied troops ! directed to the. aid of Servia, disem- parked, is one of the first ports of southeastern Europe, and its annex ation by Greece. after the war of the Balkan League with the Turks was Q bitter disapp ointment to those enthu- siastic Bulgars who dream of re-es- tabIisI,ing Bulgarian hegenony in Eastern Europe" says a war primer, which describes the port destined to play a vital part in the Allies organ ization of the new war theater. The port lies only about 40 miles south of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and for years the Greeks and Bu1garians vigr orously contested with one another this particular legacy. from the Turk Their Maced onian committees car ried national schools, churches and pl1iIanthropica1 societies to Saloniki, and when the work of converting the residents became more serious, they carried fire and sword.
 with a population of 1900 and an annual commerce, excluding us coastwise trade, to the value oK $18,- OoO. 900, Saloniki is one of the most important cities in all of southeast ern Europe It was a prize well worth the strenuous efforts made by the -Bulgars and Greeks. great part of the exports from Bulgarla, southern Servia and northern Greece pour through this port, while many of the imports for the safae areas are distributed from here. The chief ex-' ports are grain, animals, animal-pro- ducts, altar or roses, silk cocoons,i wool tobacco, opium and manganese. The imports are sugar. coffee, cherni- calls, machinery, textiles and iron goods Moreover, Saloniki has thriv- ing manufactures of morocco leather, arms and cutlery, and cotton yarn Austria-Hungary and Great Britain held first places in this commerce.
 'fTke city is built on a sheltered inlet, partly on a plain and partly on the slopes of Mount Kissos. It is possessed of an excellent natural har-. bor, and, in 1901, new harbor works were thrown open. It is also we'll sup piled with railways. one line run ming to Servian Nish, where it con meets with the Paris-Vienna-Consta tinople line, while another line con- 'nects it with Monastir. It is by far the most important strategic point in all of the new war theatres for the prosecution of the Allies cam paign.'

SIGN SECRET AGREEMENT TO CEASE AGITATING FOR MORE
 GAR SERVICE IN NORTH END


 service if double tracks were extends ed to Bethany Chapel and the ser- vices of the Connecticut Co.,. cars ex- tended to that point.
 .Philo C. Calhoun, who is attorney for tHe North End Improvement so- ciety was present when the agree ment was signed. There<is now be- fore the Common Council two peti- dons, one from the. Connecticut Go asking permission to double track to Terry place and the other from the Bridgeport and Danbury Railway Co., for permisstop to double track it's line from Terry Place to Bethany Chapel The petitions have been referred to the streets and side walks committee of the council.
 The eleven property owners on the east side of North Main street in the section mentioned signed the letter or agreement which Attorney Calhoun offered them and it is understood that the letter was transferred by Attorney David s.

one-half of his current income at the disposal of the state. The wealthy classes of England would not agree that the luxury and extravaganza charge is practiced by them. No ob- server could fail to credit them with accepting the enormous war taxes
 imposed upon incomes with re- markable patriotism and resignation. :
 Speaking for the other side of the case, Sir Alfred Mond, wealthy
 manufacturer, told the House of Commons that men from the agricuI- tura1 districts who formerly earned four dollars a week are getting fiji teen and twenty dollars from the gov ernment, and men are being paid five dollars a, day for putting up. huts for the soldiers. Annan Bryce, brother of the former Ambassador to America, testified that boys who for merly worked for two dollars a week are being paid by the government more than ten dollars for carrying the bags of government carpenters.
 A writer in the Daily Mail says: ''I met man who, without any previous experience as a, craftsman, was earnt ing from six to eight pounds a week (3O to $40) making shell cases in a certain government munitions factory am told that workmen in NBirming- ham now drive up to their daily task in taxi-cabs and that in that fortunate city the shops are doing a trade in expensive luxuries such as has never been known before"
 Extravagant payments to contrac- tors, and to buyers and experts who have been taken into government efn- p1oy, is conn plaint against the gov ernment levied by many business men, Corruption is not charged but high and waSteful disbursements due to ignorance of business affairs on the part of officials and the necessity for 11s, L.,
 try would not suffer so much from these conditions if it was self con tained like GermanXfand money mere ly flowed in a circle from the govern ment into the hands of the people back to the government in taxes and loans. But Britain is importing enormous quantities of goods for the use of the people, beside war sup plies, and the exports do not balance the imports by many millions.
 Advocates of economy in the pop u1ar press take advantage of the op- -ment for retrenchment. The office of Lord Chancellor alone, with all most nominal duties, is costing $125,- 900 a year. Lord Buckmaster, re- gently the head of the Press Bureau. is drawing the salary of $50, 900, while his predecessor Lord Haldane and two other former incumbents. of the office are receiving pensions of $25,- 900 each. The two law officers of the Crown, the Attorney General and the Solicitor General, are compensat- ed chiefly by fees which amount to about $100.O0p for each official. Sew eral cabinet ministefs draw salaries of $25,O0O. { The payment of $2,000 salaries to members of the House of Commons is a comparatively new law. The writers for newspapers which circulate among the working classes call upon government officials to set the example in responding to MT. Montagu's appeal to citizens to place half their incomes at the dis posaI of the government.

 Charges of double dealing are be- ing made among the members of the North End Improvement association which threatens to disrupt that or ganization.

How Thin People
 Can Put On Flesh

Thin men and women-that bi, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night. What became of all the fa+~ producing nourishment it contained9 You, haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from vo,i,. body like unburned coal throup3 sn a open grate- The material was there but your food doesn't work and stick and the plain truth is you hardly eat enough nourishment from your rnea Is to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are probably sadly out of gear and need reconsideration

Cut out everything but the meals you are eating and eat with every one of those a single SargoI tab let In two weeks note the difference Let the scales be the judge.

 When first youth is passed it is necessary to pay particular attention to the care of the skin. Cold water should be used unsparingIy to keep the tissues firm. Cold cream should be used to massage the face and neck each night By this method, while you cannot hope to remove all of the lines you can at least avoid the null titudinaus wrinkles seen on the visage of one who shuns the use of cold water both internally and external ly. @f day take ten minutes rest lying prone on the back. When you rise cleanse the face with cold cream rubbing light ly across the lines and in an upward direction to correct: sagging of the muscles: A. cloth wet in very hot water should then be applied. followed by several applications of cold water You win be surprised to find yourself quite rejuVenated.
 "A most important factor in the ,prolongation of youth is to avoid obesity, it is easier to keep thin than to get thin, and exercise ana dieting are both necessary. Avoid sweets, and an excess of stsrchy foods. es- pecially potatoes and bfead. Beer and other alcoholic beverages predis- pose fat"

DEPENDING MONROE

AZ definition of national policy is the most necessary element in pre- paredness for war. says The New Republic eff the Germans captur- ed London or New York it would not be for the sake of holding it, but in order to change certain British or American policies to which they ob- 5ect.1 They would seize these cities notS because they wanted them, but because they wanted India. or Egypt or Africa or some part of South America They do not strike at England or the United States but at the British Empire or the Monroe Doctrine.
 '4The basic unpreparedness of America is our ignorance of what we mean by the Monroe Doctrine and the Open Door. They are the only poll ciess we are likely to defend against a first-claSs Power. From the point of view of the world they are both of fhem aggressive, doubly menacing because they are undefined. The spectacle of the United States stand ing 4upon policies which carry such fmrhense pretensions, and arning without declaring the real purpose of $he armament, is something that rrlaE well frighten the statesmen of othA Ar nations. It is no use, to hope thaEthey will believe that we are pre- parhg to protect our territory. They wflE act on the belief that we are pre- Earring to defend national ambi- tior# whose limits have never been def&ed. If our policies remain vague and indefinite, if we seem ready to de- fen& a doctrine which covers every thi% ar nothing, we shall rightly be cha#ged with committing ourselves to a pDgram that has no limit protect ed y arnaments that have no end.' -Te New Republic.

IT'S SURPRISING
That So Many Bridgeport People Fail
 To Recognize Kidney Weakness.

Are you a bad back victim?
 Suffer tWinges; headaches, dizzy spells?
 Go to bed tired-get up tired?
 It's surprising how few suspect the kidneys.
 It's surprising bow few know what to do.
 Kidney trouble needs kidney treat ment.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid neys only.
 Have convinced Bridgeport people of their merit
 Here's a Bridgeport case; Bridge port testimony.
 Kidney sufferers hereabouts should read it.
 William Pramukas 45 Revere St.. Bridgeport, says: 'I had dull pains across the small of my back and mornings I was sore and lame. My head ached and had awful dizzy spells. Sometimes the secretions from my kidneys passed to frequently, then again, the flow was scanty. When I read about Deans Kidney Pills, got some and they soon relieved me of every sign of kidney trouble.''

 zsI could not but remember that the law also had encouraged large families by passing a bill at Quebec giving ten acres of land to any family having, from that time forth, twelve or more children, and how in two years the law was repealed because the demand on those ten-acre lots was in excess of the supply
