TODAY'S ANNIVERSARI

AS everybody knows, the United
States is the country which has more
railroad mileage than any other. 1t
is therefore somewhat surprising to
learn that the first material for the
building of such road had to be
imported from England. It was on
May IA, 1929 that the ship Alexander
arrived in the harbor of Ba1tim ore
from Liverpool with SO tons of iron
and equipment for the construction
of the first railroad in the United
States. Today things are changed.
1t is the United States which is ex-
porting railroad equipment all over
the world. Other memorable events
that took place on this date are:
1804-The Lewis and Clarke expe-
dition left st. Louis for the North
west.
1833-Birthday of James D. Cam
eron, secretary of war under Presi-
dent Grant
1854-One hundred ships reported
lost off the British coast in 80 days.
18S4-Metropolitan National Bank
of New York failed for $4,O0O,OOO.

Warning as to Our j
Waning Vitality,
(By LEE HERBERT SMITH, M. d.

(Byj LEE HERBERT SMITH, M. d.
In urging upon the country the OBJ
servance of last Dec. 6 as Medical
Examination Day." the Life Extension
Institute issued circular in which
it called attention to the reasons why
every man should take stock of his
physical condition just as frequentlH
as he takes stock of his financial cons
dition, thereby learning his weak spots
and taking measures to repair them
before it is too late.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and
listless, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbals
remedy that was used by everybody
nearly SO years ago is still safe and
sane because it contains no alcohol ort
narcotic. It is made up of blood roots
Golden Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This
blood tonic was first put out by DIR.
Pierce in ready-to-use form and. since
then has been sold by million bottles
as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-s
covery. If druggist does not keep this
in tablet. form, send $l.Vu to UovtoI
V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
p1rnty of vegetables, drink plenty
of water between meals, and
take an uric acid solvent after meals
for awhile, such as Anuric double
strength), obtainable at almost any
drug store. 1t was first discovered by
DR.. Pierce. Most every one troubled
with uric acid finds that Anuric dis
solves the uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

Many Local Cases
Will Be Called In
Court On Thursday

A number of cases of unusual local
interest are on the docket of the
criminal superior court, which will
resume it's sessions in this city on
Thursday. Henry Welch, John
Cavanaugh and John Mcmillan,
charged with having been implicated
in the murder of Nathan Garon, are
to be arraigned before Judge Greene.
WEIGH is held for robbery. upon
which charge he was arrested after a
jury acquitted him of murder. Nc
MILAN is also held for robbery, but
murder is the charge against Cava-
naugr.
Another prisoner on the Thursday
list is william A. Halliday, the re-
atty dealer, whose trial has often
been postponed. He is charged with
arson. Herman Undersfer, driver
of the jitney which collided with a
trolley car at Broad street and
Fairfield avenue causing the death
of Irving Bauer, is held for man
slaughter.

TWO STATE MILK
RECORDS BROKEN

Two state records were set last
week by the cow, Lady Agnes Mer-
cedes, No. 1926, owned by Gardiner
Hall, Jr., Company of South willing
ton, under the official supervision of
the Dairy Department of Connecticut
Agricultural College. She made 1881
pounds of milk in one day and 1912
pounds of milk in seven days. The
state record for one day was held
previous to this, by another COW own
ed by the same firm, Lille DeKol
Pietertje, End, No. 191490, while the
previous holder of the seven day re-
cord was Mary Onyx Brookside De-
Kol, No. $3.50, owned by L. r. New
ton, New Canaan, with a record of
637.5 pounds.
The new record for milk for one
day is very good indeed and coupled
with the fact that the new seven day
record averages within a fraction of
a pound Of what the state record for
merly was for one day, it gives the
new champion a long lead

Meet at Cambridge
Booked for Saturday

Cambridge, Mass, May 14-The
New England intercollegiate track
and field championship events will be
held on the Massachusetts, Intitute of
Technology field here next Saturday.
AS the entries were only about half
the usual number because of the with
drawal of several colleges from attn

decided to omit the usual preliminary
afternoon and to put on both trials
and finals Saturday. The colleges to
be represented are Brown, Holy
Cross. Massachusetts, Tech, Middle
bury, Trinity, Boston college, Wor-
cester Polytechnic and Tufts.
Andrew Kelly of Holy Cross, holder

New London County
Aiding Conservation

New London County is doing SPLEEN
did work in the Bigger Crops cam
paign being conducted in Connecticut
under the general direction in Con-
necticut under the general direction
of the Connecticut Committee of Food
Supply. OF course this county has
its pessimists like every other section
of the whole country, but the Com
mentator' who conducts a most in
teresting column in each issue of the
New London Day is able to answer
this small group quite cleverly. In
a recent issue ofthe "Day'' the Com
mentator" says:
'I met my friend the Pessimist yes
terday. He doesn't believe that there
is going to be very much done, that
will really count, in the growing of
things to eat hereabouts. He says, If
I remember correctly, that there is
only one field on the road from here
to Norwich that wasn't plowed last
year, that has been plowed this year
He has some land of his own which
he has offered for tillage, but the
couple or so of people who came to
look at it said they would work if
he would pillow it for them.
Now, maybe he is right. I have
not been up the Norwich road this
SpTiuS7-dnu IL ndu DC0n L AIN SOOu
and sure shouldn't know whether
the plowed fields I saw had been
p1owed before or not. But I have
been over the East Lyme road and
I know there is a good deal of land
going under cultivation there which
has been lying fallow for several
years at least. Also, I wonder what
the people are doing with all the seed
they are .buying-whether they are
going to cook it and eat it-and
whether the fertilizer that is passing
from the merchant to the plot own
err is merely to be used to perfume
the front lawn.
Do you know what a very large
dealer in agricultural supplies told
me this morning? WelE-and you
must remember that New London al
ways sells such supplies to a large
tributary country-he told me that
the sales of potatoes and fertilizers
were at least three times as large
| this year as in previous years and
that in small seeds the output was
fully double the normal; and that this
would undoubtedly hold true with the
good fertilizer trade of the whole
community just as well as with his
own establishment. And this in spite
rof the fact that a very great many
of the smaller tracts have not even
been spaded up yet, though they GER
tain1y will be-, and the further fact
that there has been done as yet only
a small proportion of the planting
that will be done of certain crops,
particularly beans, for there are
many growers who will not plant po-
tatoes for several weeks yet. You
J can bet a little bit that there is go
~ r 0fo vi
mans town and its environs-good,
sound grub as you can eat and that
will stick to your ribs-which it

freight car, or a good long string of
freight cars to carry

New Paint Used to
Decrease Visibility
Of Vessels At Sea

New York, May 14-To save steam
ers from destruction by submarines,
experiments have been made off the
Atlantic coast in the reduction of
visibility of vessels by new methods
of painting their hulls, it is announc-
ed. The results, it is claimed, show
that the vessels when painted by the
new method cannot be seen more than
about half the distance at which they
would be visible if painted in the
ordinary manner. The experiments
have been conducted by Lewis Her
zog, an artist and member of the New
York Yacht Club. The new method
of painting was not made public.
