FREEZING Did Not Kill.

Interesting experiments have been
made by two French scientists, who
placed number of caterpillars in test
tubes or metal boxes in refrigerating
mixture of ice and salt at a tempera-
ture varying between Is and 20 de-
grees centigrade. The same caterpil-
lars were frozen six times in the space
of month, and they always came
back to life, but at each new freezing
operation their movements and reac-
tons to mechanical excitation became
slower.

An Old Mans Stomach

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too much
is habitually taken, the stomach will
rebel. When a man reaches the adj
vanced age of IS or 80, you will lind
that he is light eater. Be as careful
as you will, however, you will occasion
ally eat more than you should and will
feel the need of Chamberlain's Tablets
to correct the disorder. These tablets
do not contain pepsin, but strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
it's functions naturally. They also cause
a gentle movement of the bowels.

Efficient Public Servant to Give
Attention to Other Fields
WILL STILL RESIDE HERE
Important Reforms in Sanitary Con-
dftions of City Evolved Under His
Department Revolutionjzed.


DR.. T.. Eben Reeks for the past
three years superintendent of the
health department, one Of the most
efficient health and sanitation officers
In the state, today filed his resignation
as superintendent. DR.. Reeks states
that other plans which he has In mind
has necessitated this action and he ex-
poets to drop the cares Of his office
either on October l or November 1.
DR.. Reeks states that the nature of
his new work will be such that he will
maintain his residence in New Britain
and he hopes to be able to continue
his relations with the board Of health
even though it will be impossible for
him to remain its executive head.
DR.. Reeks, who has made his home
in New Britain for the past Is years,
Is one of the states best known medi-
cal men. For 10 or IL years he main
tanned a large and lucrative practice
in New Britain and vicinity. Three
years ago, when Mayor Quigley was
first elected, radical change was
made in the health department where
by superintendent was engaged to
put in all his time to the Improvement
OF sanitary and health conditionS In
the city and DR.. Reeks was chosen.
The wisdom Of this selection has been
demonstrated many times by the
efficient manner in which DR.. Reeks
has done his work. During his regime
there have been instances too numer-
Gus to mention where, due to his skill,
foresight and excellent judgment, the
conditions have been materially i'm
proved. Under his supervision there
hav been important changes in the
plumbing ordinances which prohibit
the installation of improper drain
pipes and the like, The municipal
slaughter house has been established
under Superintendent Reeks' super
ision and the quantity of diseased
meats that had heretofore been sold
in the city has become negligible. I'M
proed dairy conditions clean milk
and better sanitary conditions have
come about since DR.. Reeks took UP
the reins three years ago.
BY his resignation the city will lose
a faithful and efficient servant who
will be extremely hard to replace.

RACE BETWEEN j. s.
TROOPS and ,U-BoATs
Government Will Be AutOno-
nous and Will Receive
Support from State.

Amsterdam, Sept. 1.-Confidence
in the effect Of unrestricted subma-
rine warfare is expressed by Admiral
Reinhardt Scheer. commander of the
German battle fleet, in an Interview
in the Leipsic Tageblatt, the admiral
declaring that he expected "every-
thing" from 1t.
This confidence" says the admir-
al. lis shared by all our submarine
commanders and no difference of
opinion exists by our navy. 1t would
be q mistake to name a definite date
but am fully convinced that If the
rate of sinkings continues as at pres
ent the day must come when Eng
land will recognize that the war does
not pay
Questioned about losses Of subma-
rines and as to anti-subn1arine meth
DDS, Admiral Scheer said:
with almost ideal obstinacy the
English miss the mark, and SO far we
have only been met with guns, nets
and mines and not with any new
anti-submarine appliances. 1 can con-
firm tho statement recently made re-
garding our losses, which on the
average are two or three monthly and
more than equalled by new construc-
tion."
Regarding American support Of
Great Britain he had this to say:
"I do not underestimate 1t, neither
do I attach too much importance to
it. The Americans may make them
selves unpleasant by means of In
creased ships, airplanes, technical
material, etc., but they can hardly
harm us seriously from a military
point of view, and they will never
become dangerous. They will no more
be able to return the scale In favor
of the Entente than Italy or Ru-
MANIA
He expressed his conviction the
submarines will have decided the Is
sue Of the war before America can
| send a large army to Europe.
