MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES
Make Life Hard to Bear for Many
 New Britain Women

Too many women mistake their pains and aches for troubles peculiar to the sex. More often disordered kidneys are causing the aching back, dizzy spells, headaches and irregular urination. Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if neglected. Use a time tried kidney remedy-Doan's Kidney Pills. Hosts of peaple testify to their merit. Read a New Britain case:
 Miss E. Roseen, 27O Maple street, New Britain, says: 'I was just as miserable as could be and had con- tinual, sharp, shooting pains in my back. I couldn't move unless this pain seized me and it was just like needles piercing my back all the time. It often caused a loss of sleep and made me feel tired and worn- out. I doctored and used medicines but got only temporary relief. I finally used Doan's Kidney Pills and the second box gave me relief. Four boxes permanently cured me.
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same-that cured Miss Roseen. Foster -Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo. N. Y.

DECOMPOSED ALGAE 10 BLAME FOR ()DOR State Bacteriologist Reports Res
 erY0ir Water Fit For Use
 NUMBER OF BACTERIA LOW
Selectman Johnson Gives Out State- ment of Chemist-Report Substan- tiates Claims of Health Officer Christmas Checks Distributed.

That the water in the Plainville reservoir in *'its present condition s fit for general use, although the high because of the decomposing of Algae is the opinion of Dr Conn, the state bacteriologist, expressed in a letter to First Selectman w. J. John son. The comm unication was for warded in connection with the tech- nical results of the analysis of the sample of water recently taken from the reservoir and sent to the state labratory at Middletown for expert examination.
 The report of the analysis is too complicated and contains too many chemical and medical terms to make it understandable to laymen and to make the results of his examination comprehensive to all, Dr. Conn SUD- plemented it with the following gen. eral statement:
 ''The condition of the water IS shown in the analysis shows no indi- cation of pollution although the figures for ammonia are rather high, which may be due to decOmpOsed algae. The number of bacteria are low and no suspicious organism was found. The water appears to be in good condition for general use, nothing in the analysis showing suspicion"
 pr. Conn's analysis shows a result similar to that found by other chem it's who have examined the water at o6 hcfc 1ioto %oo claim of Health Officer J. N. Bull that there never has been an occasion for stopping the company from supplying it's patrons from the reservoir as far as the danger to the health of the community was concerned
 The water admittedly has many disa agreeable features during the sum- mer months and is not of a quality which the townspeople would order if they could get any other. The typhoid epidemic brought out this fact in more emphatic manner than ever be- fore, although there has not been a time in years when the water company could be called a very popular sort of an Orga nizatiOn. It seemingly has re- suited in a determination on the part of the citizens to bring about an inn provement if possible and unless the company voluntarily takes steps to clean the vegetable growth from the bottom of the reservoir or make ar rangements to supply water from its pumping plant during the entire year the matter will probably be brought, to the attention of the public utilities commission.

 Police Question Undecided.
 Disposition of the question as to how the town streets shall be policed has not as yet been definitely settled by the selectmen and it is now con- sidered probable that a regular pa- trolman will not be permanently ap- pointed.
 Consta ble Philip Marine continues on duty at night under instructions from the board and will remain the patrolman for the present. Select man Johnson has received bids from other constables but their price is higher than that paid under the ar engagement now in force.
 The board finds difficulty in get ting candidates at this time because of busy conditions in the factories Men, who ordinarily might be willing to take the position of patrolman, are now working for high wages and as the selectmen can give no assur- ance that the police job will be per- manent they are not anxious for the appointment.

she was the happiest girl In the
