In gallant taction in which his battalion carried bv assault posi- ton on the height Of Reichacherkopf, lieutenant Colonel Fabry lost leg Nj. Wovelaque, speaking of him today, said:

VENERABLE CHORUS MEN

London-Most of the chorus men now employed on London stages are be- tween 40 and 50 years old. Military authorities have made such thorough job of combing out the theatrical pro- fession that practically all men able to bear arms are with the British forces
 To the average theater goer there is no change apparent in the choruses ex. cept that there is not so much dancing Producers have found that it is best to keep the venerable chorus men at the back of the stage, using them to fill out color in the various pictures rather than to supply action. The trained first nighter. however, is able to see what a great change has come. Here and there a chorus man may be seen with toupee or a full wig of curly hair, while others stand out in the glare of the footlights unashamedly bald.
 In one chorus of a popular revue there is not a man under 41 years old. yet they dash across the stage with the same graceful abandon of the peace time chorus. They can make a fairly presentable initial dash, but thereafter they are relegated to the rear.

That the Doble Steam car, which has been the talk of the automobile en- gineering world since it's first showing at the New York show, will be dis tributed in Arizona by the Kissel Auto company is the announcement made by Fl. H. Reuben and 4. B. Smith, Arizona distributors for Kissel Kars, Federal trucks and Dort cars.
 The Doble factory is located in De- troit and it is expected that the output for the first year will be ten thousand cars. All models turned out will include both open and enclosed jobs. The type car upon which models are based has been three years in operation and has to it's credit more than 10000 miles.
 The inventor and builder of the car Abner Doble, convinced of the inherent advantages Of power and flexibility of steam. determined some five years ago to apply to q steam car certain ele- nnents Of quick starting, large radius of action and ease and certainty of con trol which have made the gas car so popular
 LITTLE WATER USED
 He has retained the gasoline car ra = dlator, securing condensation of all steam and raising the capacity on one filling of water to 5000 miles. He also retained the carburetor, using a spark plug for ignition and brought the time of starting down to one and an one half minutes with cold water and less than one minute with warm water He introducing oil into the water, he has prevented scale in the boiler and se- cured continuous and automatic !nhrlcation of the cylinders. The steam IS used in simple una-fiow, double acton, two cylinder locomotive type of steam engine, with bore of five inches. and stroke of four inches The slide valves are on top of the cylinders and are actuated by a Joy valve-gear. Ihls gear dispenses with the need of eXcentrlcs, thus making a piece crank shaft possible. Moreover it gives a superior steam distribution. The gear also reVerseS the engine without need ot extra devices
 SMOOTH ENGINE
 Ihe cutoff can be set at any desired point, three being the usual number of cut-offs provided, A cutoff for start Ing or heavy going, $ for ordinary running or accelerating and k for high speed and economy work The valves are made in two pieces so that they can lit in slow running whenever the compression exceeds che steam chest pressure. This makes a smooth engine at all speeds and also allows a high .3npresslon at all higher speeds and

BOY OFFERS TENT
TO THE SOLDIERS

washington, April 23.-Secretar,

when he received from Lewis Tudo,
Jones, seven years old, of Rutherford
N. j.. letter offering to turn ovel
his play tent to the soldiers. The
young patriots letter follows:
Dear ME-. Baker, have a tent
want to give. I want to give
it to the soldiers. 1t is not a very
big one, but 1 think two could
sleep in it. I wan to give this
tent because 1 wan to help nv

Secretary Baker Instructed his sec.
rotary to write the following reply:
My Dear Lewis-Secretary Ba-
ker has read your letter offer
ing your tent for the soldiers and
he is very grateful to you for
your generosity. He does not
wish to take away from you your

he hopes that when you grow up
you will show the same spirit of
kindness toward those who rem
der to us service such as our
soldiers are rendering now. Cor

Shooting Rodents
Popular Pastine
In Parrot Ave

Now that the summer season and
it's customary pastimes are under way,
the latest thing in outdoor sports. has
been brought to light in the North
End, particularly in the vicinity Of
Parrot avenue. where it is reported
that the newest game is to grab a
rifle at a given signal and take a pot
shot at numerous large and healthy
rats as they scamper over the heaps
Of ashes. tin cans and other rubbish
which fill the backwards on the south
side of the street.
For many weeks past the ashes and
refuse have been allowed to accum-
mulate and seemingly the efforts Of
tenants to induce the property owner
to clean up the mess have been I'M
availing. This, taken in conjunction
| with a recent and substantial jump in
the price of rentals, has stirred up
| considerable indignation among the
tenants.
A short time ago a man engaged in
the business of removing ashes drove
into the street seeking the job of cart
| ing away the rubbish. He was refer
red to the concern acting as the own
| er's agents. He took a longing look
at the row Of ash heaps, evidently had
some pleasant thoughts of making
some regular money and drove down
town but was not seen in the neigh
borhood since.
/ The backyards, according to resi-
dents are an eyesore. Several Of the
houses are not provided with property
garbage receptacles, and, in view of
| the increased rents, it is likely that
complaint will be made to the health
board for action.

had its inception in April. the first
clash having occurred on April "a,
1886. when Lieutenant Mason was
killed and a small accommodating
party captured by the Medcana In
April 1861, Fort Sumter was fired
on. and the United States was piung-
ed into an orgy Of civil strife. The
war between the United States and
Spain began on April Il, 1898. just
nineteen years ago today. Although
Congress did not declare war against
Spain until April 25th, the declara-
ton stated that war has existed since
the 21st day of April With the pres
ent war added to the list, it will be
seen that April is, so far as the Uni
ted States is concerned. distinctly the
month dedicated to Mars.
Although the war with Spain was
q minor affair compared with the
struggle in which the United States
Is now involved, the general excite
ment was much greater in 1898 than
following the reason declaration. One
does not need to be a psychologist to
apprehend the reason. The Spanish
war came, at a period of comparative
calm In the worlds history. and when
the United States had long been at
peace. war mas something new and
novel to the younger generation Of
Americans. The participation of the
United States in the present war had
been SO long anticipated, and the peo-
pie had become SO accustomed to
strife and bloodshed and horror
through their daily reading, that the
actual declaration lacked any element
of surprise or novelty.

ed their first knowledge of the ami

ward the republic. During that strug-
gle there were several straws which
showed the way the Teuton wind was
blowing notably the attitude Of the
German naval commander at Manila
when only the threat that Great Bri-
tain might side with the United States
prevented German persistence in a
course which might have led to war.

RED BLOOD
AND COURAGE!
(By DIR. w. G. LUCAS

What drives the men right up to the
trenches in this war is courage, and
it's red blood that puts the heart in
the men. Did any one ever see a
puny, thin blooded man ever rush into
the fight with any chance Of winning
out? With rich, pure blood you can
face any hardship, reach any goal.
But you are handicapped in the race
OF life without it. Every tissue, bone,
muscle, should take from the blood
certain materials and return to it GER
tain others. This process insures per-
feet health. When the poisons &C
cumulates in the blood, perhaps the
face breaks out in pimples, or boils
appear on the neck, and we feel Ian
guild, tired, our vitality lis at a low
ebb, and we easily catch cold.
It's time to take an Alternative ex-
tract and blood-purifier taken from
Natures forests. Such a one is made
up Of Golden Seal, Blood and Stone
root, Oregon Grape and Queens root
extracted with glycerine and made
into sugar-coated tablets or liquid,
and this has been sold by druggists
for the past fifty years as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It's al
ways efficacious in the spring when
the blood is run down and you need
q wholesome tonic. Try this old
fashioned but reliable remedy, with
out alcohol!
If you are occasionally troubled
with rheumatic pains or lumbago,
pain in the back, toes or muscles Of
the body, this is due to uric acid stored
In the system The liver and lkidneyS
do not act properly. For such per-
son, I advise taking Anuric double
strength) three times daily for week
or two. This Anuric throws out the
uric acid which accumulates, and if
taken occasionally will prevent or cure
rheumatism and govt. There is no
difficulty in obtaining Anuric at any
drug store.

Food Supply Board

a large quantity of seed potatoes to
be disposed of to the farmers of Con-
necticut at the cost price plus the
freight rate, which it is expected will
be 1915 bag. f. .. b., Hartford.
This means that those who wish to
plant potatoes in this state may pro-
cure the seed, SO long as the present
supply lasts. from the Committee Of
Food Supply. The committee did not
disclose the quantity Of seed potatoes
purchased but said that it was a large
supply, that three carloads are al
ready on the way, and that further
shipments will be contracted for if
they are needed, though there may be
a slight change in the price quotation
of the next lot The seed potatoes
are expected to arrive at Hartford in
about week. The food supply COM
mittee will accept orders for them at
any time. The headquarters telephone
number is Charter $500. ASK for the
