STILL ANOTHER
LOCAL CITIZEN
PRAISES HIGHLY
Mr.. A. Howel1s, 80 Cottage Place,
this city is another one of the
many Lax-a-TOne boosters

Well, said Mr.. Martin, you can see
that I told the truth that local people
are indorsing Lax-a-Tone. It is a
simple matter If you are skeptical as
to the virtues of this tonic to simply
investigate and fine out as to the
truth of our assertions. We are let
ting your own people right here in
New Britain advise you as to whether
this remedy has the merit. Mr.. Howell
over his signed testimonial, says:-
at find Lax-a-Tone a remedy OF
great merit. T have used it for stom-
ach trouble. I have had severe indi-
gestion that would effect me with dis
tressing symptoms. No matter what
I ate it would turn sour, gas would
form and I would bloat up terribly.
It is needless to say that I have tried
in many ways to get relief, but mono
of them presented themselves until
I used Lax-a-Tone and I cannot
recommend this remedy too highly
Tired weary people who seem to
have no ambition with sallow skins,
furred tongue, sour acid stomach,
have gas pains and bloat UP until
they are uncomfortable will find Lax
atone a God send. 1t will increase the
annette. enrich the blood, relieve con-
stination. tone up the nerves and in
fact. will surprise you with the re-
cults vo,, will receive In one week q
time
The Lax-a-Tone man is at The
Economy New England Drug Co, 1856
Main St., where he is introducing this
remedy to the New Britain public.

NO WARNING, GIVEN
American Lives Endangered by Attack
on British Steamer-Offcers Unable
to Locate Assaflant.

New York, Nov. 21.-The British
steamship Siamese Prince, returning
in ballast after delivering a cargo of
horses at. Brest for the French gov
eminent, was fired upon without
warning, presumably by German
submarine, off the French coast on
Nov. 4, according to officers of the
vessel which arrived here today.
Three shots were fired, the officers
said, two in quick succession, which
passed over the port quarter, and
third soon after, which dropped into
the water astern. The life boats we're
swung out, the crew of AZ and the
54 hostlers donned preservers and the
ship put on full speed. The craft
which attacked was not sighted at
any time, owing partly to weather
conditions, and the officers Of the
Siamese Prince were unable to say
whether their vessel was pursued.
The hostlers included many Amer
leans, # was stated
The attack took place at 7 a. M,
200 miles at sea, which a high wind
was blowing and with heavy waves
running. No attempt was made to
torpedo the ship, which is owned by
Furness, Witty & Company and which
carried no passengers. The officers of
the vessel judged that the attacking
boat was about one mile distant.

BRING INVESTMENTS HERE
Japanese Putting Money Into Amer
lean Securities and Trade Balance
in This Country Grows Steadily.

The New York, Nov. 21.-Within
the last six months Japanese mer-
chants and exporters have invested
nearly $50,000,000 in American Sc
curltles according to estimates in
banking quarters. For the most part
the securities were bonds, largely I'M
DERIVING railroad issues, although a
substantial part consisted Of mort
gage bonds of industrial companies.
These investm are believed to
be the outgrowth Of the shifts of
commerce directly traceable to the
European war. Japan has been
shipping to the United States a great
amount of goods such as formerly
were manufactured by Germany. AS
a consequence Japanese trade balance
in this country has been growing
stadi1y, producing credits which either
had to be transferred to the owner or

ard car that collided with another car
on the Milford turnpike, on the eve
ming of November II, when Miss
Marjory MacGowan Of Indianapolis,
was killed, and three others badly in
5ured, was driving rather fast at the
time, Coroner Mix in his finding filed
yesterday afternoon, finds that Muir
dock was not criminally responsible
for the death of Miss MacGowan.
The coroner notes in his finding that
both Murdoch boys were without their
state license cards at the time. He
states that when confronted with a
serious situation, Alexander Murdoch
exercised his best judgment to pre-
vent a collision, and that he be-
lieved that he was operating at the
time so as to pass safely over the
highway.
Both Alexander G. Murdoch and
Miss Katherine Mayer are still at the
Elm City private hospital recovering
from the injuries they sustained as a
result Of the accident. Miss Mayer
may be able to leave the hospital in
another week, but young Murdoch
will be confined there for several
weeks more. His brother James,
who was also injured about the
head, has resumed his studies at

CHICAGO SYNDICATE
 PROSECUTING FAST

The Chicago Syndicate has com pleted 500 feet of crosscutting in the past few weeks. It has cut several Hedges and found values in all, it is said, bearing our surface values pre- viously reported. These are better than the surface values of the central portions of the camp.
 Manager c. R. McCollom has been making greater speed there than most of the operators of the camp. He has been trying most of all to get water, but has not yet developed any. He states that the lack of it has de- creased the cost of work all of what the expense of pumping would be, but the fact that water for all purposes at the camp must be hauled from Oat- man is an inconvenience.
 With the present exploratory work in the nature of crosscutting com pleted, sinking from the 250-foot depth in the shaft will be resumed with a depth of 800 feet as the ob- jective point.

HARRY GOSS BADLY
 BURNED IN AUTO FIRE
tFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.)

tFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.) Harry Coss was straining some gasoline through chamois skin as he poured it into the tank of his auto Monday morning. He had just pre- viously drained the tank into a tub in order to clean the former, and the tub of gasoline stood under the car. Straining gasoline through chamois skin has been the cause of many a fire. In this case there was no ex- ception and the flames shot into the air with Coss and a vessel of gasoline in his hands right in the midst of the mighty blaze.
 It burned him terribly, his hands, arms, shoulders, breast and face. In places the flesh dropped off and he was in terrible agony. Dr. Bowes was called and is caring for him, and the sufferer has many days of suffering ahead of him.
 While the blaze was at its height the car was showed away from the house, close to which it stood. H. M. Caswell, who is a neighbor, helped, and they pushed the car back, but in doing so MT. Caswell stepped right over the tub of gasoline, not knowing what it was. It did not catch afre, and from it no harm was done.
 A fire extinguisher was rushed out instantly from Gwynn Brothers ga- rage, a few feet from where the auto stood. It extinguished the flame.
 The only harm to the car was the burning of the upholstery of the front seat and sides. The damage will probably not exceed $50.
