ture, suggested by the orchestra lead
er, is the singing by. the entire audi
ence of the latest American songs.
The words are thrown on a large
screen and are sung with a will by
the sailors.
In these audiences Of between 500
and 500 there always is a generous
sprin1ling of British sailors and SOL
diers who are urged to avail them
selves of all the privileges of the club
house. They can even sleep there
overnight in large ,dormiteTies provid-
ed for all men in either branch OF SER
vice who may have overnight liberty
from ship or, barracks. For a clean,
comfortable bed and. a shower bath
the nominal charge ,of a. shilling is
made. The best food ashore is cook
ed on the premises and served at cost
price.
New scenery made in Tendon is the
latest addition to the club. It was put
in place by the fagship's carpenter s
whose hanGiwerk is seen in many
parts of the club. The ironworkers
from the same ship have also done
their first shore work since leaving the
United States by erecting a steel hut
to house the moving picture machine
and its operator.
The only discordant note in cennec-
ton with the club comes from the ma
tive population because they. are not
permitted to view it's wonders. They
must be content to stand outside and
listen to the music and the laughter
Of the happy men in uniform. 1t was
explained to them that their own town
council asked that the public be bar
red. The request was made at the be-
hest of the proprietors Of the towns
two little picture theatres who saw a
threatened loss of patronage.

for information on. health subjects
from readers of. this publication If

Club, 50S9 Cottage Grove Ave, Chi
cago, III. Send full pane and address
with cents postage.
Dear Doctor: As have gained
much valuable information through
your Home Health Club, L will come
to you again for aid. Our ten months
old baby is troubled with constipa-
ton. We have tried Castoria and one
other kind of laxative, but they do no
good. Would you kindly tell us what
to do? -
q. WI.
(Answer) In regard to the case of
your ten months old baby. you should
have given me details in regard to
how the baby 10 being fed. whether
you are feeding It with artificial milk
or whether IT Is being nursed by It's
mother. It Is not wise as a general
rule to give babies any kind of laxa-
tlVes such as you have described. In
stead the diet must be regulated 40
that the bowels move ! naturally.
Sometimes the child requires more
water and sometimes with chtldren
OF that age, 1t is a good plan to five
them one feeding daily OF Horlick,s
Matted Milk. to which has been add
ed little cows milk and Just q. little
sugar. In other, cases Mellin's Food
| IS better, while in still other cases an
| oatmeal Cruel fed to the child once
or twice daily Will overcome constf-
patton. I would suggest that YOU
write me again and tell me more
about the habits of the infant and
how and what it is fed.

WAR ACTIVITY.
Washington Is Hustling and BUSTING
Since the War Started.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 20.-The \
population Of the City of Washington
has increased at least $4,000 since
the war began. It is natural that the
capital city, the center of govern
mental activities, should show this
preparation for war ever undertaken
by any country. A steady stream OF
new appointees to the great civilian
army pours into the city; the streets
hum with activity; everybody is busy
and earnest; on every hand are the
sure signs Of a competent organlza-
ton with fixed purpose.
At the request of the United States
Civil Service Commission the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce has
undertaken the work of directing to-
suitable rooming and boarding places
the new arrivals who are not ac-s
painted in the city. Hundreds of de-
sirable rooms, with or without board,
are listed, and at very moderate rates.

Former Postmaster and Wife
Married 50 Years Ago Today

Fifty years ago today former Post
master and Mrs. William S. Judd of

church performing the ceremony. In
celebration of the event Mr.. and Mrs.
Judd will be rendered a reception this
evening at the home of their son,
William H. Judd of rs Murray street.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Judd, in spite Of
their advanced years are in the best
of health and take an active interest
in church and community affairs. Mr..
Judd is one of New Britain's best
known citizens. He served as post
master during the administrations of
President Mckinley and Roosevelt,
from 1898 to 1908.
With the exception of the term that
he served as postmaster, Mr.. Judd
has been in the employ of the P &
+. Corbn company for SO years. He
accepted a position with that firm in
1865 and has since occupied an i'm
portant office in the company. AL
though advanced in years, MI. Judd
still holds his position at the factory
and is deemed as an asset in giving
advice and his services are considered
as valuable.
Three children have blessed the
union, William H. Judd, Thomas Judd
and Mrs. I. Bertini. They also have
five grandchildren, one Of whom is
Robert Bertini, who is now in active
service.

Bargain Hunters Break Window 1r
RaphaeTS Store.

A crash followed by a sprinklins
of glass on the pavement and the
large plate glass window in front Of
Raphaeps department at 382 Main
street store was scattered into a
thousand bits today. The pressure
brought against the window by the
sWaying masses Of humanity anxiouslv
croWding to get inside the store Gull
minated when the glass was broken,
The accident took place about $50
this morning when hundreds of New
Britain's population hurried to Ra
phaels store where a fire, smoke and
water sale was in progress.
1t was announced earlier in the
week that the sale would begin in
the early hours OF the morning and
that the store would be open for bust
ness at 9 o'clock. Through unforeseen
developments it was impossible to
start the sale at 9 o'clock and as a
result crowd formed in front of the
doors which increased constantly The
doors were opened in the neighbor-
hood of 10 o'clock and in the rush
which could not be stopped the plate
glass window although protected bv
a fence was hurled to the pavement
in the onslaught.
The police were called into action
and this afternoon six bluecoated
guardians Of the law were stationed at
the store to prevent further disorder.

Transferring Troops.

Copenhagen, Nov. 2O.-Reports
from several sources in Germany bear
out the assumption that, taking ad-
vantage of the situation in Russia, the
German government is making heavy
transfers of troops from the Russian
front. Only part Of them appear to
be going to Italy, where the front is
too narrow to permit of the use of
great masses, and a blow by Won
Hindenburg at some other point, in
the way of a diversion, may perhaps
be expected.
Some troops are reported to have
been moved to the western front, but
this is not necessarily significant, as
Field Marshal Haigs pounding tactics
necessitate frequent reliefs for eN-
hausted German divisions.
German newspapers discuss with
suspicious frankness and avidity the
prospect of an offensive on the Salon
Xxi front, but have never a word to
say about the obvious chance of q
smashing blow at Rumania in an eff
fort to end the resistance of that
nation. AS for Italy, if the Austrians
and Germans find the reinforced
Italian army too hard a nut to attempt
to crack, the Central Powers can cas-
lily and quickly change to the defen-
sive on a strong line for the purpose

IF You care to send anything to

don't need it but send cigarettes and
tobacco AS I said before it is i'm
possible to get American tobacco
here and that is the only kind that
is worthy darn anyway. Be suro

that it is equally divided. If you will

Petrograd, Monday, Nov. 19-Two
army corps loyal to the committee for

toned at Luga, report that Premier
kerensky is with them. There is no
confirmation.
After the defeat of his forces at
Gatchlna, Premier Kerensky was

the bulk of his army. The premier
was coerced into promising to sur

but while the guard was being formed
he disappeared disguised as a sailor.

FROM stockholm.
Stockholm, Nov. 2O-The Ameri-
can, French and British representa-
tives at the border station of Tornea.
opposite Haparanda have been
stripped Of all actual power by Fin
nish revolutionists, assisted by Rus
sian soldiers. At the outset the revo-
lutionists refused to recognize any
diplomatic privileges and detained
properly accredited couriers. They
were induced finally to desist from
this attitude, but they are bringing
all conceivable obstructionist tactics
to bear to compel the Entente repre-
sentat1ves to recognize them. Recog-
milton has been refused fatty.
The revolutionists visited the Swed-
lsh consulate at Tornea and demand
ed that the consul place his automo-
bile at their disposal and he himself
act as their chauffeur. This he re-
fused to do. The revolutionists then
tore the Swedish flag from the con-
sulate and departed, declaring that
they needed no foreign consuls in
Tornea.
Ira Nelson Morris, the American
minister, learns from competent
source that Petrograd was quiet up
to Friday night and that the police
were guarding the various legations
and embassies.
Fighting in Moscow has ceased. It
is reported to have been very SAN
culinary. Estimate of the number Of
dead reaching as high as 1000.
A general exodus of Americans
from Petrograd and Moscow by way
of Siberia has been arranged for the
next few days.
Minister Morris is the only foreign
diplomatic representative here who
has had anything except the most
scattered reports since the beginning
of the present situation in Russia At
the outbreak of the trouble he sent in
structions to all possible points that
he be kept informed fully, with re-
suit that even Russian legations have
been almost dependent upon him for
knowledge of events in Russia.
