TEAMS CHOSEN FOR
 RED CROSS DRIVE
Each to Report at Elks' Club x Every Noon

Hon. A. J. Sloper says:-
 Every dollar contributed to the Red Cross Fund of $10O,000,00o will be a blow at Germany, and help to our allies. The people of New Brit ain have great opportunity to strike blow for liberty, by giving to the Red Cross more liberally than they have before to any cause"
 Just this will do much to end the war. The German enemy Is not to be combated with shot and shell alone. He must be fought with every moral and psychological weapon. He must be made to understand that he is so much morally the enemy of man. kind that every father and mother every child--in America is determined to correct and punish him.
 Any nation who will delibefately wreck homes and kill school children by the score, must be permanently de. feated if We wish safety for ourselves. It is our plain duty now to give, give more than we have ever felt it necessary to give before; and 50 help New Britain contribute it's share. $112.50o.

DIDN'T START TT BUT
 WE WILL FINISH TT

U. g. District Attorney spellacy Utters
 Defi to Autocracy-No Room in
 U. S. for Slacleers, Et Al.
 "we didn't start this war but. by the grace of God we'll finish it.'' This was ono of the statements made last night by U. s. District At torney Thomas J. spellacy during his address at the Flag Day exercises of New Britain lodge, B .P. O. E. Be- cause of the nature of his position, MT. Spellacy's remarks bore more weight than would those of . layman. He made as number of statements which cannot be printed for obvious reasons.
 ''This Is a great country" Mir. Spell lacy said. Tt is bounded by the Alt lantic and Pacific. by the Canadian border and the Gulf of Mexico. but it is not big enough to contain pacI- fists, slackers and shirkers. If these people are discontented. why don't they get out?"
 MT. spellacy's talk was of great in- terest. He paid tribute to the flag as only Thomas J. Spellacy can do and he incidentally reminded those of for- eign parentage that their duty was to the United States. They were not to harbor any grievance or fancied grievance against any power with which America is allied because their fathers believed they had been mis- treated by that power, he said.
 The exercises were of unusual mo- ment at the present time and left 9 deep impression on those present. As guests of the evening, the Elks had large delegation from Stanley post, G. A. R. Many of the members saw themselves, fifty years hence in these battle scared veterans who fought and bled in order that the red might remain red the white remain spotless. the blue remain the emblem of the heavens, and the stars retain their lustre.

NEURALGIA AND SCIATICA

The one symptom OF neuralgia is
pain and it is unmistakable.
In large proportion OF cases anemla
and debility are responsible for neural
gia, particularly in women. To remedy
the neuralgia condition it is necessary
to build up the blood and improve the
general health and for this purpose
there is nothing better nor more con-
venient than DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Sciatica is nothing more than neu-
ralgia of the sciatic nerve.
Ii you have neuralgia or sciatic pains
do not go to great expense for treat
ment until you have tried building up
the blood. Ii you are pale the chances
are very strong that the treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are all that
you will require. Hot applications and
liniments may be used at the same
time il you desire. They may relieve
the pain and temporary relief is the
best you can expect from them anyway.
The pain in the nerve is caused by
nerve starvation. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills give to the blood the elements
that the nerves need. They contain no
narcotics and are not pain killers.
They remove the cause of the pain.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent by

ectady, N. Y. Price so cents,

NO CAR SHORTAGE EXISTS.
There Would Be No Abuse by Consignees
If Shippings Were Normal

Washington, March 23-Unusual ship
ping conditions caused chiefly by the Eu-
ropean war, are mainly responsible for
the unfounded belief that a freight car
shortage exists in this country, r. S.
Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacitic's
executive board, testified yesterday be-
fore the Newlands investigating commit
tie.
IF you ignore the unusual conditions
which have arisen in the last two years"
Lovett said, Il don't believe it can be
said that car shortage exists. If ship
pings were normal and there was no
abuse of the use of cars by consignees,
don't think there would be a serious
shortage"
Senator Cummins, member of the
committee, declared in the course of Mr..
Lovett's examination that he believed
the strong railroads should take over
the weak in order that all might make
