MAPLE ST. LADY MAKES A VERY
 STRONG STATEMENT
Mrs. Roscland Andrus, 46 Maple St., Says She Is Very Glad to Be Able to Indorsc the Greatest of Tonics, LaX-a-TOne.

The sale of Lax-a-Tone is increas- ing in New Britain week by week and this remedy is fast gaining the confidence of the New Britain public. We have never advertised LaX-a-Tone in a sensational manner. we have nev- CT made any rush claims for it, and it has never been placed in the Cure All column in any place it has been, We have demonstrated it months at time in city and have allowed it's own merits to place it in the suc- cess column. We are not afraid to put a representative of the company in town and stand behind what We advertise. This remedy has been al- lowed to advertise in paper that have censored all medicine advertisements It was even the cause of an editorial comment by one of the large papers in the north west account of it being cleanly advertised. We don't want people to buy Lax-a-Tone that are suffering from incurable dis eases, and we don't want your money unless we honestly believe that 1t will help you. Mrs. Andrus says: Il have suffered with dizzy spells, gas and bloat. for over two years and found nothing that would give me the sman- est semblance of relief. I felt run down and tired out and needed gen. eral tonic that was a builder and I am pleased to say that Lax-a-Tone has accomplished just what l wanted it to. What more can one say?'
 Now if you are weak and run down and want a tonic that will build you up after the Grippe and heavy cold. if you are suffering from constipation, sick headache, have indigestion, feel all run down and want builder that will tone up the nerves. try this tonic. It is purely herbal and will not hurt the teeth or harm you in any way.
 The Lax-a-Tone Man is at the Economy New England Drug Co.,, 365 Main St., where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public.
 He will remain until 10 D. m. Sat urday evenings for those unable to see him during the week.

BOY SCOUT NEWS

At the fires Wednesday night the scouts of the city had their first op- portunity to show what they were worth in ar emergency. With no pre-arranged signal tc call them 200 scouts were on duty within a short time and proved the value of scouting to the city in any emergency. Expressions of expectations were heard on every side.
 The scouts performed many duties. The most conspicuous one was the help rendered, the police in holding the safety lines with the aid of slaves. Those scouts who did not have slaves commandeered pieces of board, sticks from trees and other equipment to take the place of the slaves Other scouts helped in the salvage work on Church street led horses out of the danger zone, went on errands for the firemen, rendered first aid assistance. watched buildings in danger of be- ing burned, helped to call out the militia, and were at hand ready to render assistance of any kind possible
 Scouts were on duty from all the troops of the city. and one especial ly pleasing feature was the way that ex-scouts showed the result of their scout training by presenting them selves for service to the commissioner. were used ir this way,

AGAINST WAR PROFITS
f. Il. Johnston. director of Chamber
 of Commerce of United States, Hears of CO-operation With Government.

Frank II. Johnston of this city, a director of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States, has been notified that the next meeting of that organization will be held in Washing ton, D. C.. on March 8 and g. He has also received an attached copy of a note from the secretary of war stating that cooperation of the chamber is asked in, purchasing war supplies. MT. Johnston. will probably be in attendance at this conference. !, The United States Chamber of Commerce, in statement issued yes- terday, states that excessive profits are to be prevented ir the event of hosti1ities is indicated by the fact that the Council of National Defense has called on the Chamber of Con- merce of the United States for assist ance and advice in purchases to be made by the army quartermasters The National Chamber recently passed a resolution providing that the basis of surply of government re- quirements in war and peace from private sources should be at a rate of profit so low as to preclude a profit interest in war;
 Continuing the statement reads: "It is equally \urwise to permit large profits to a few people through the making of supplies for the govern ment and the stock market specula- ton which inevitably follows the pro- cess. The basis of profit should be guaranteed return of a small per- centage on the book value of the as- sets of the company. The in evitable economic disturbance follow ing a declaration of war should be minimized to the greatest extent pos- sible by the use of the government credit. The result of small guar anteed profit would be the instant stabilizing of industrial credit and the complete elimination of stock market speculation.

It was very pleasing at the meet in the armory last Saturday to note the scouts interested in the proposi- tion to secure a full time executive for New Britain. The troops voted to start the effort with a pledge of $1OO to be earned not asked for from the homes. The amount was further en- larged by the gift of another $1OO from one of the best friends of the movement. Plans are now under way to raise the required amount shortly.
