Merchant Ships Flags.

The British mercantile flag is known
Familiarity AS the red ensign. Strict
ly speaking. no inland person has any
right to fly the red ensign ashore. the
only flag permissible being the plain
union jack, which the ordinary citizen
often flies upside down. The red en-
sign has it's official status from the
edicts of two queens. Queen Anne in
17O7 and Queen Victoria in 1864.
The merchantmen of the colonies
gene ally use the red ensign also. but
by permission Of the admiralty may
add the badge of the colony lin the
fiy." Some nations have special mer-
camille marine flags, but not all. The
United States flag, for instance. is the
stars and stripes for all occasions.
The German mercantile flag of black.
white and red dates only from 1867 and
symbolizes the union between the
Hohenzollern black and white and the
red and white Of the Hanseatic league
The Russian mercantile flag, introduced
by Peter the Great, was originally the
Dutch flag. familiar to him from his
studies in Holland, reversed. Later the
arrangement of the three colors was
varied.-London Globe.

upon the whole, after careful con-
sideration, l am inclined to believe
that if some change must be made the
plan of the substitute amendment is
preferable, in that it is less complex;
and, therefore, will be more likely to
expediate business and get things
done with less of tax upon the ener-
gies of the business and educational
officers. Hence as see it; if change
of existing system must be made
it should be along lines of the sub
stitute amendment. But if this is de-
cided upon certain amendments should

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, that has real curative value almost sells itself. Like an endless chain system the rem edy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is a phy- sicians prescription. It has been test ed for years and has brought results to countless numbers who have suf- fered
 The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact that it fulflls almost every wish in overcoming kid ney, liver and bladder diseases. cor rects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheuma- tism.
 Do not suffer. Get a bottle of Swamp-Root from any druggist now. Start treatment today.
 However if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the New Brit ain Daily Herald.

 "A visit to. the scene yesterday showed a half a dozen or so men working there in desultory fashion and the concrete is not nearly fin- ished, which means that it will still be a matter of weeks before the thing is in shape to stand travel. With the single exception of this bridge the road to Hartford is in splendid shape and it is a shame that autoists should be compelled to put up with this condition for so long a time. We hope that Commissioner Bennett will endeavor to push the work along"

What To Do For
 Nervous IndigeStiO1

When nerves go wrong they always strike at your weakest spot When this spot happens to be the stomach, nervous dyspepsia results, appetite vanishes and is replaced by an un- easy, hollow feeling that keeps up until every nerve in your body seems on edge. The food you force down won't digest properly, and you're all in-down and out for one day at least so far as being really useful to your self or anyone else is concerned.
 It's the height of folly to force the digestion of food with some pepsin pill while the stomach nerves are in such shape. Nervous indigestion comes from nerves alone. Get your nerves right and you'll feel tip top and eat and digest what you eat as any normal, healthy person should. Moth ing could be better for such cases than single Margo tablet eaten at every meal or whenever you feel blue or de-
 pressed and your nerves are working overtime. Margo is the greatest nerve tonic ever found for nervous dyspepsia, nervous headaches, and up set nerves generally. It calms and steadies the nerves, when they want to fly. It stimulates and strengthens the nerves when they are dull. tired out and sluggish, and you cannot con centrate your mind on work. Every tablet seems to go straight to the nerve cells and puts ambition. vim, vitality, confidence and courage in every inch of your body. The Clark & Brainerd Co. and many other lead ing druggists in New Britain and vicinity sell these Margo tablets, 40 to a package, on a positive guarantee that if they do not bring results and give satisfaction the money paid for them. will be returned, and scores of people right here in town can testify to their marvellous efficiency. .s

UNTERMANN'S ARGUMENT

No one who reads Comrade Inter
mann's scholarly arguments on So
cialism and mternationalism will fail
to be impressed with the mastery
manner in which he handles his com.
pick problem. Given his point of
view. his logic is convincing; his
thorough knowledge of the subject in
hand impressive. and his reasoning
is unquestionably scientific in meth
cd. And yet we cannot agree with
his general conclusions.
Standing out wildly against the
dark background of the awful Euro
pean holocaust one sees the giant La
Dor chained to the Iron Cross of capt.
talism, writhing in helpless agony as
the seething flames leap to devour
him, the fuel being supplied by his
own offspring! This patricidal trag-
edy has occurred because of the lack
of noncompromising internationalism;
because the One Big Fact, the world
wide Glass Struggle, has been lost
sight of in the maze of subtle reason
ins-dialetics, if you like-of the So
cial-Democratic academicians.
