 It's pretty hard to attend to duties
 With a constantly aching back;

 So thousands have gratefully testi- fled.
 They're for bad backs.
 They're for weak kidneys.
 New Britain people gratefully recommend Doan's.
 Mrs. F. w. Spencer. 275 Maple St., New Britain, says: 1T suffered almost continually from dull pains across my back. They annoyed me mostly when I over-worked. Mornings I was so stiff and sore that could hardly straighten up. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me great relief and I think that continued use will cure me. have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to others and don't hesitate to endorse them publicly.

zoo feet making the length of the store when complete 375 feet from the Main street entrance to Kelly property on Myrtle street. Whether an en- trance on Myrtle street will be made, has not yet been definitely decided
 When this new addition is complet- ed the store will have floor space Of 1000 square feet, which Is one of the largest main floor spaces in the state, also, 1t will be a daylight store throughout, being lighted through ceiling as we'll as through side win dows.
 This has been the third time ir the short space of seven years that the store has been enlarged. Seven years ago Raphaers Department store started with approximately HOO square feet of floor space, year later taking an additional space, of 2.0O0 feet then occupied by I. Simons. In 1915 the Bijou theater was added, making a total of 1000 square feet. The rapid growth of the business has once more forced them to take an ad- ditional space of 10000 feet, making 9 remarkable showing in seven years.
 The store will continue under the name of Raphael's Department store and Nathan Singer. who has been manager of the cloak and suit depart ment for the past year, will be gen. eral manager of the store.
 Mir. Raphael will spare no expense in remodeling the interior of the store and it will without doubt be one of the largest ready-to-wear stores of its kind in the state.
 Contracts for the store front which Is to have a depth of thirty feet, have been let to a New York firm. George Runner of Hartford Is the architect.

CLAIMS s7,8OO ROLL,
 WAITE GAVE KANE.
Miss Peck Insists Money Is
 Rightiully Her Property

New York, Juno 7.An echo of the case of Dr. Arthur Warren Waite. the young dentist who was recently put to death in the electric chair for, the murder of his father-in-law, John E. Peck, 8 wealthy drug manufactur- CT of Grand Rapids, Mich., came up yesterday when Miss Catherine Peck, a sister of the murdered man. made a demand of $7.80o. which was part of sum of money Waite had paid to Eugene Kane, an embalmer, to swear that he (Eane) had used arr senic in the fluid with which he em- balmed the body of MT. Peck.
 As the basis of her claim Miss Peck called attention to the testimony of Dr. Waite on his trial. in which she said he admitted that the money was part of $lO,000 he had sotten from her some time previous to the murder of her brother. She told the ofilcials of the property division of tho depart ment that she could prove by other evidence that the money belonged to her.
 As 1t Is necessary under the law to obtain court order before returning any property, Miss Peck was instruct ed to take up the matter in the su- preme court She left the building to go, before Justice Clarence IL Shearn. who presided at Waite's trial. but did not return while the property division was open. Miss Peck was much dis turbed when she was told that she would have to be identified. Detective John Cunniff. of District Attorney Swann's staff, who worked on the Waite case and knew the Pecls. iden. tified her satisfactorily. Kane's story provided one of the, early sensations of the Peck murder.
 He was called in as embalmer when waite's father-in-law died from the effects of the poison. A few days later. when tho dentist had been sus- pected ahd the autopsy had been per- formed, resulting in the discovery of arsenic, pr. Waite met. Kane by ap- pointment near garage and told him that he wanted the embalmer to swear that there was arsenic In the fluid. Dr. Waite handed Kane . check for $9,S0O and departed, @ The embalmer, bewildered by the situation, put the check in his pocket A half hour later Waite met him again and renewed his request in an excited manner, ending by putting . roll of bills in Kane's pockets. Kane went to Orient Point, l., l., the next day and buried the money in the sand nearby. When he was later suspect ed he gave himself up to the police and took them to the spot. The roll. which contained 37.s00. was turned over to the police and offered as evi- dence at waite's trial.

lowing the American civil war, IN
which Frank Carlisle, west
Pointer of southern parentage,
who. because he followed the stars
and stripes into battle and wore
northern uniform, found him
self socially ostracized in his old
home on returning there after
peace had been proclaimed and
was met with scorn by the girl he
loved, because of her answering
devotion to the south.
In this play Mr.. Russell en-
braces the opportunity to display
his genius in portrayal of heroic
character and makes the story live.
He is the American type persona
fied-lean, 1.-the, eager, ready for
anything-in short, the debonair,
devil-may-care young southerner
at his best.
Miss Francelia Ellington, a
thoroughly charming and capable
young actress, plays Virginia
Leighton, the plantation belle, a
part that affords her sufficient OPP
portunity for the display of her
varied talents.
The old negro servant, "Ju-
bilee," Frank Carlisle's childhood
guardian and admirer, who re-
mains faithful to him throughout
his difficulties, is played by Will
liam Carroll, and this is an extra
ordinary bit of blackface char
acterization. Mr.. Carroll is a well
known artist.

| ''Great Heart of American People

'UfeaI HedTt OF American EeOpie
Our Red Cross must not only
care for the shattered bodies of
our wounded men; it alone can be-
come a foster parent to them in
the trying conditions they are
sure to face when they are con-
valescent from wounds or recover
ing from exhaustion. We shall
soon have an army of 100000
soldiers. When they go to France
they must have homes in which to
rest and to be cared for and to re-
cover. The generosity of our
whole people must make it possible
for our Red Cross to provide for
them.
In no previous war have the in
nocent non-combatants had to
bear so terrible share Of it's ply
steal suffering. And it is through
our Red Cross that we can show to
the nations of the world how the
geart heart of the American people
goes out to them in their distress.
France, proud, brave, bleeding
from CHASTITY wounds, needs US
sorely. tuberculosis is raging
throughout her land. Fifteen
hundred of her towns and villages
have been RACED to the ground by
the calculated barbarity Of the in
vaders. Millions of her people are
homeless and starving, bereft even
of the barest covering for their
bodies, of stoves, of utensils with
which to cook or eat, of agricul-
tural implements, of animals-in-
deed, of the simplest elements of
civilization. And to us alone can
these people come for help; we
alone have the abundance with
which to supply their direst needs.
To Russia, too, we must reach
out our helping hand. We little
know what she has suffered and
is suffering. Russia, long obed-
lent to autocracy, has not flinched
in this conflict. Her people have
had to struggle, not only to free
the world from autocracy, but to
make their own land land Of lib
erty. Russia needs all we can do
to strengthen her courage and to
make her feel that we are, indeed,
behind her. Our armies can do
little for her. Our Red Cross
alone can take into Russia the
message of hope, of help, of con-
fdence which she so terribly
needs. The message must be
practical. 1t must carry deeds
and not merely words; and ii
should be carried at once. Prob
ably never before were so many
people in distress and agony as
in Russia at this very hour. We
can take no more vital step toward
winning this war than to put re.
newed heart and strength into
Russia.
