FEET AREN'T ACHING

Use "Iiz' for tender, puffed-up,
 burning, calloused feet and cOrnS.

'"Tiz'' is the only rem- edy in the world that draws out all the poisonous exudations which puff u1p the feet and cause tender, sore, tired, aching feet. It instantly stops the pain in corns, callouses and bunions. It's simply glorious. An. now comfortable your feet feel after using "Tiz.'' You'll never limp or draw up your face in pain. Your shoes won't tighten and hurt your feet
 Get a 25-cent box of "Tiz'' now from any druggist. Just think! whole years foot comfort for only 25 cents.

The annual report of the water commissioners as compiled by Clerk P. J. Eagan, which will be submit ted to the common council tomorrow night, has been issued. The report contains a wealth of well gathered in formation and gives a comprehensive account of this important city depart ment. Besides the report of the com- missioners the document contains sup plementary reports by City Engineer W. H. Hall, who now has charge of the departments engineering work, a financial statement with numerous tabulations and a report of water an alysis by Davenport & Keeler, the department chemists. They report that the supply has been in excellent condition throughout the year.

PROVEN SWAMP PROOF
 AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and blad- der troubles are often very distress ing and leave the system in a run down condition. The kidneys seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglect ed, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles.
 pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which soon heals and strengthens the kid neys is a splendid kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost inn mediately noticed in most cases by those who use it.
 A trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Better get a bottle from your nearest drug store, and start treatment at once.
 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 Britain Herald.

 Roaring Brook.
 Tn addition to usual amount of clearing and cleaning a two foot flash board was placed on the spillway of the dam, increasing the capacity of the Wolcott reservoir fifty million gall Ions.
 WhigyiIIe Reservoir.
 This reservoir has been practically full during the whole season. It Is the source from which we supply the High Service reservoir and West Main street, beyond Corbin avenue. The usual amount was spent on repairs to highway and cleaning of underbrush around reservoir.
 High Service Reservoir.
 With a view of building a regulator in the form of an overflow tank to control the supply, and keep the water at constant level, 1,60O feet of 16- inch pipe was laid in Wooster street. It is planned to complete this work the coming season.
 Tunnel Practical
 About year ago upon the recom- lIASlIudtlOIl Ol lnS bOarQ or W aJeT Commissioners the common council made an appropriation to make a sur vey to determine the feasibility of tunnel to conduct the water from Burlington brook to Whigville res ervoir, and we are pleased to state that while we are not at present un- able to give exact figures, enough progress has been made to show the entire project of tunnel is practical and can be done at a great saving to the city over and above the cost of the proposed pipe line doing tho same work. It will also concentrate and greatly simplify the whole Bur lington system.
 The city of New Britain owns over 1,70o acres of land in Burlington, which has been purchased to protect the purity of the water supply.
 Surveys of this land have been greatly hampered by the excessive wet season and heavy snows.
 A Busy Year.
 The past year was the busiest of any since the establishment of the system. Over three miles of 6, 8 and 1 16-inch pipe was laid in twenty-five Q11IerenJ streets. In connection With this work 29 additional hydrants were placed, as well as renewal of sev- eral of an old type. Sixty-two valves were placed at all intersecting streets. The coming year is expected to near y equal the past years record
 Receipts Increase.
 The receipts for water rent were S4,210.77 more than previous year. caused entirely by increase in factory consum ption, owing to longer work ing hours. Tn fact the business and domestic consumption was Jess by 3, 3,801,300 cubic feet than preceding years while the factory increase in was 5,442,000 cubic feet more than in 1914. The receipts di- vided are for factories $52, ,178.02, business and domestic $S0,205.15.
 There were $50 houses in the June quarter who paid a minimum rate, S2.50, amounting to $2,375.00, which under schedule rate amounted to $5,- 531.00. Tn the December quarter 839 houses paid $2,097.50 under schedule rate would pay $4,93S.25.

GREAT RESERVOIRS
PROVE SUCCESSFUL
Interesting Discussion Before
Congress on Water Storage

An interesting discussion of the
problem of flood prevention was en-
tered into at the recent session of
Congress. One of the principal
speeches was made by Congressman
Robert Crosser of Ohio, who is a
strong advocate of storage reservoirs.
In speaking on this subject Mr.. Cros-
ser said:
"In order to accomplish satisfac-
tory results we must adopt a COM
prehensive and scientific plan of
water control. This is necessary,
not only from the standpoint of the
residents of the lower Mississippi
valley, but also from the standpoint
of the inhabitants Of the regions at
the headwaters of the system. That
which at present constitutes a great
evil to the people of the lower Mis-
sissippi would, if made available, be
a great blessing to those who live
farther up at the headwaters. Some
comprehensive plan must therefore
be adopted which will provide for
the storage OF the surplus waters at
the sources of the streams. Much,
and in fact, sufficient for the pre-
ventlon of floods could be accom-,
plished by the construction of great

THE LONELY DEATH.

One day they witnessed the execu-
ton of spy. They returned from
that deeply moved. What impressed
them most was the loneliness of such
a death. The doomed man stood be-
fore a platoon. Then beyond that,
and all about him, was a solid square
of infantry. And beyond that, and
all around, one felt hundreds of
thousands of men, his enemies all of
them; all of them thinking of him
with hatred and contempt. And his
own lines were so very far off, and
in those lines no one thought of him
at that particular moment when
friendly thought would have been
such a boon. No one over there
thought of him at all except perhaps
one; the one who had sent him here,
who considered him merely as a
pawn, and would make an eternal
secret of his death and his deed. A
lonely end, that of a spy!-James
Hopper, in Golfers Weekly.
