Mrs. Emily E. Baker, Millplain
 Road, Fairfield, Gives a Testimonial for LaX-a-TOne
 That Is We'll Worth Reading.

When Prof. M. J. Kraus gave his discovery Lax-a-Tone to the world he little thought what a benefit it would become to the many kidney, liver and stomach sufferers. He worked on the theory of elimination of poisons through the proper organs and in a normal manner without the use of mineral purgatives that tear down the natural funtions. and after they are through the whole system is weaker and less able to take care of itself than before. Herbal Laxa-Tone is remedy that builds up these organs and, puts them in condition to do theirNwork alone as they should Mrs. Baker, a we'll known and respected lady that is living in our midst says:
 'I have had kidney trouble that gave me such a lame backs that could hardly walk around, my liver was torpid and had gas and bloat so badly that thought I never would see we'll day. I>felt tired out and weary most of the time and was weak and unseady in my walk. have taken Lax-a-Tone and am pleased to say that my lame back has disappear ed and my liver is working finely. I have no more gas or b1oat and feel strong and well. I heartily indorse it to all.''
 Lax-aTone is a blood purifier of the first order as 1t Is Herbal 1t will clean you up for the spring, drive the ma la11a out of your system, relieve con- sdpation and sick headache. Try it lne week and at the end of that time At will surprise you how good you will feel.
 Lax-a-Tone is for sale at Hartigan's Drug Stores, 81 Fairfield avenue, and Main and Congress streets.-Adv.

JOFFRE AND JELLICOE

The stern test of war has ruined many brilliant military and naval reputations in the last two years, and, of all the chief commanders who were called upon to lead the armed forces of Europe in 1914, only two have es- caped unscathed. Joffre and Jel- Hcoe, respectively the leaders of Frances army and Britain's navy, are as supreme to-day as they were in the beginning of the conflict, and their dismissal from the high post they oc- cupy has not been thought of., Count von Moltke, who held the supreme command in Germany at the outbreak of the struggle, was retired in dis grace after the battle of the Marne, and has since died. Won Falken- hayn, who succeeded the rgloomy Ju- lius," was dismissed because of the failure of the Verdun assault, and Field Marshal von. Hindenburg, who was an old retired soldier and almost unknown outside of Germany before the war. has come to the front. Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, the "big boss" of the Kaiser's navy, has also passed into the discard. While the Austrian command remains nominally the same the armies of Francis Joseph are now commanded and directed almost eX- clusively by Germans, and the Aus trtan leaders have become mere fig
 ure-heads. Sir John French, upon whom England pinned her hopes, has given way to Haig, and Kitchener, af- ter being subjected to much bitter criticism, is dead. Grand Duke Mich olas, the Russian leader, was succeed ed by the Czar in the supreme com mand, and sent to lead the armies against the Turks. Hundreds of of ficers in all the armies have been found wanting when their regulations were tried in the crucible of warfare.
