WHY THAT
 LAME BACK?

That morning lameness - those sharp pains when bending or lifting, make work a burden and rest impos- sible. Don't be handicapped by a bad back-look to your kidneys. You will make no mistake by following this Bridgeport residents example
 T. E. Callan- machinist. 302 Rlack Rock Ave-, Bridgeport, says: "All last winter I suffered with my back and kidneys. Every time I tried to bend over to pick up any of my tools, sharp knife-like pains shot up and down my back. My kidneysc were weak and irregular in action and the kidney secretions were highly colored and unnatural. I felt all out of shape and I had a dull aggravating pain across the small of my back. It didn't take Doan's Kidney Pills long to fix me up in good shape"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Gallon had. Foster -Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. K.-Adv.

They further stated that they expected, within the next few weeks, to have $7,000 ad- ditional placed to the credit of the fund by several we'll known local bus mess concerns.
 Adjutant Perrett in pointing out the need for a moderate priced hotel for working men in this city, pointed to two instances in which the envi- ronment provided for seekers after work, had resulted in the betterment Of the individuals in question.
 It is the purpose of the officers to so conduct the proposed hotel, that lodg- CTS will be made to appreciate the value of a clear head in the morn ing and associations calculated to help them in their work or in quest for em- ployment.

WASHINGTON IS ASTONISHED
 BY GERMAN REPUDIATION

Washington, Feb. 15-The unoff- cial announcement from Berlin that Germany did not initiate the proposal to discuss with the United States it's offensive submarine decree caused as- tonishment in official circles. It was assumed by this government that Dr. Ritter, the Swiss envoy. who present ed the, proposal in writing to the State Department, was acting with the authority of the German govern ment.
 The declaration from Berlin that such is not the case has strengthened the opinion among the officials that the suggestion found it's inspiration in neutral circles responding to Teutonic influences now about to be physically as. well as automatically severed.
 With the departure of Count von Bernstorff the government is fully convinced that there will be no fur ther representations made by the Ber- lin government and that it is therefore justified in expediting it's preparations to meet any eventuality that may arise in the situation.

PATROL BOATS
 GUARD LINERS BOUND FOR U. s.

New York, Feb. 4.-Travelers from
 Europe arriving here on British ships
 speak of the extreme activity of the
 British patrol boats which. they say,
 swarmed about them during their
 journey through the submarine war
 zone. Passengers on the Laconia and
 the Ascania, which arrived yesterday,
 testified to the fact that armed traw- lers and other patrol boats accom- panied them part of the way in re- lays. 5gg.~r,EY s~ 4..V:-, Officers of the British merchant ma
 rine are more reticent, particularly in
 regard to the new and strange courses they now follow in the eastern Allan tic in order to avoid the old establish ed steamer lanes. It is understood
 that British shippers before sailing re-
 ceive sealed orders from the admiral ty, which they open before taking their noon observations and follow the courses laid down by these orders un-
 less they are changed by wireless. Tn
 this way,it is said, the British admiral ty knows the approximate location of every merchantmen on the high seas. The Ryndam of the Holland -Ameri- ca line reached her dock in Hoboken
 this morning. She sailed from this
 port for Rotterdam on Jan 2s, but
 turned about when within IA hours of
 Falmouth and came back, her captain deciding not to risk the lives Of his passengers in the blockaded zone. The Ryndam carried 20 Americans in her cabin.
 Steel for export is piling up on the piers and it is estimated that more than 100000 tons are here awaiting shipment. Shippers say that the Brit ish government is preparing to send tank steamers to take over large quan- tties of oil and gasolene which lhave been accommodating here since the Standard Oil Go. refused to send out it's own ships.
 The White Star line steamship Ad-
 riatic, the first British passenger yes
 sel to leave New York after Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare began. has arrived safely in Liverpool. accord ing to a cablegram received here to- day by the International Mercantile Marine.
 The ship reached it's destination Monday morning, the message said.
 The delay in the announcement reach ing here is attributed to admiralty regulations.
 One American citizen, w. G. Uridge. of San Francisco, was among the A passengers. The ships cargo was valued at several million dollars. The vessel sailed Feb. 3 and was armed with six inch naval gun.

HOTEL KEEPERS FIGHT LAW TO
 BENEFIT HELP
ppose Measure Which Aims to Give Cooks and Walters One Day
 Of Rest.
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Feb. 14.-If the general assembly sees fit to pass a certain amendment to the present law giving to many classes of employees one days rest out of seven, so as to include the cooks and walters in hotels, Cohnec- ticut's hotel business will be shot to pieces.
 This statement is made upon the authority of many of the leading ho- tel men of the state who appeared yesterday at a hearing before the committee on judiciary to oppose the measure. The bill has the backing of the labor interests of the state. /
 Almon c. Judd of the Hotel Elton, Waterbury, led the calamity howlers with vigorous protest against his be- ing allowed to work his help seven days a week. Similar walls emanat- ed from representatives of the Hotel Griswold, in Groton; the Hotel Taft in New Haven, and the Hotel Strat- field, of Bridgeport.
 Opponents of the bill were almost in tears as they recited to the commit tee the troubles they have experienced in keeping heir help, and now that it is proposed to give their. help day of rest in every seven days. they say it means in many instances doubling their forces
 Briefly, they agreed that it "can't be done''-this in spite of the fact that it was cited for the benefit of the com mittee that it is done under the laws of Massachusetts and other states.
 Labor leaders insisted that the law was a just measure, entitled to the fa vorable confederation of the commit tee. Senator Neebe and Julius Strem1au, president of the State Fed eEation of Labor, both earnestl. krec- commended the measure.

BERLIN REpuDIATES OFFER FOR FARLEY
 MADE ]! IN ITS NAME
Denial < That Any Overtures Have Been Made to United
 ,. States, Issued.

Berlin, Feb. 14.-11:30 A. M. (via London. 1t, is absolutely denied here that Germany in a note to the United States or through other me diu1n is inviting suggestions for the avoidance of actual war. It is re- iterated that the Imperial Govern ment is not permitting doubts in any quarters regarding the position ac- lively assumed in the U boat war fare, and that there can be no talk or thought of recession from the pro- gramme already being carried out.
 In view of this, it is declared in authoritative circles that any fur ther barley or, exchange of notes with the United States may be dis missed as unwarranted and improb- able. t:
 The origins of the report is ascribed to the recent announcement made through the Swiss Government that Germany was willing to negotiate respecting the amended treaty of 1799.
