Trolley Service.

Mir E;ditor: The Shore Line Electric railroad company says: You require US to give service" The word rc- auire defined by Webster's unabridged means, ito ask for or claim as by need" We exact, demand and necd but what do we get. Service is de- fined as the condition or occupation Of a servant. Is it the service we re- quire and demand that we got at Branford? It is fact that the ser vice VIC receive is just what the rail- road sees fit to give us. Public re- 1lIirement and. service amounts to the same thing as it did when Commo- ture ages by his historic words the public be damned" and up to the present time ii seems to hold good in railroad matters. All that is eX- pected of the public is to pay what they ask and take what we get.
 Mir. Editor, if MT. Chappell wants to be on the inside where he can join in a protest against the. service he is receiving for value paid from the railroad. let him join the chamber Of commerce. pay his s6 dues. part Of which will be used to pay the salary and expenses of the genial secretary and the balance. if any. can be used to protect him from the ravases of a ruthless corpora tion who seem to have the power to exact what they like and give what they are pleased to define as service.
 Mr Editor, it dcesn't seem just right just why the merchants bureau and board of directors should presume to take the prerogative of the transpor- tat tion committee of the chamber of commerce and remove from their hands the matter of increased trolley fares but presume this will be eX- piained for the benefit of a suffering public in the weekly cosey corner.
 MT. Editor 1t don't seem just right to the transportation committee to ignore them in this shameful manner and to cap the climax the secretary of the chamber seems to he left out Of the committees as 1t does not seem possible that the investigation would be success without him.

Misery of the feet is self inflicted. There is no need for any one to have corns, hard or soft. bunions or other feot troubles when common sense and intelligence arc given a chance. Soft corns occur on the bottoms of the feet ard in between the toes and are most painful. The first thing to do for corns Is to relieve them of all press ure. A perforated corn plaster may he used or . disk of white felt or chamois with 9 hole in the center. The feet are soaked in hot water and the corn picked out. but no instrument should be used which has not been sterflized; that is, by dipping it in boiling hot water. A good lotion for corns is composed of salicylic acid and collodion. Soft corns should be protected by a bit of linen paced be- .ween the toes. Sprinkle the linen with powdered tannin. Painful corns on the bottoms of the feet are treated by putting several layers of adhesive plaster to act as a kind of cushion over the corn. This keeps the corn protected from friction and it will in time disappear.

WORKRUSHEDON .BIG CANNON FOR
 ARMIES IF US.

The magnitude with which the United States proposes to go into this war is indicated in some degree by the orders for cannon that have been pouring in the Bethlehem Steel com pany, according to a report from there recently.
 Within the last few weeks the war department has ordered 10000 three inch guns and 10000 4.7-inch Schnei- der howitzers of the famous Le Creusot type. This order for 10000 field pieces has come in addition to previous orders for approximately 30,000 cannons at various times since the declaration of war.
 Some of the guns in the orders for 30,000 are for the navy, but the ma jority are for the army. It is estim- ated the war department has at Beth lehem alone orders for 66,O0O cannons. If these were placed in European bat tie lines there would be gun for less than every 100 feet, not to mention the French and English artillery.
 While Bethlehem is the biggest gun factory in the world, this statement being made with special reference to German pride in Krupps, there are other plants which also have received considerable orders for cannons and it is said to be the intention of this government to shoot the Germans out of France and back into their own country with a vigor that will teach them respect for President Wilson's declaration in favor of a world demo- cracy.
 Over and above the orders from the United States for nearly 10000 can non, the Bethlehem plant has booked and is making many thousands of guns for England, France, Russia and Italy.
 The guns are being turned out and high explosive shells are being turned out in even more amaz- ing proportions. Carloads of guns leave the works every night, ready for shooting, together with shells to back up the work of the American army on the German frontier.

SALTS F BACKACHY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating meat for a while if your Bladder
 troubles you

When you wake up with baelSashe and dull misery in the kidney region it gen. erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-lnown authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter ft from the blood and they become sort of Paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- '. moving all the body's urinous vasta. else you have baekache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue IS coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine IS cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- elan at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes ana lemon juice, combined with Gthia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot lnjure and makes delightful, efeE- Seseent hthia-water drink.

US. ASKED FOR
 U-BOATS IN '95

In 1895 the United States navy de- partment advertised for plans for sub marines, writes John P. Holland, IT,, in the Scientific American. Three hun dred thousand dollars had been appro- priated to construct a submarine boat built in accordance with the best de- signs submitted in competition. My father submitted plans which were finally accepted. This boat was built from the money appropriated by the government at the time, and was known as the first Plunger. She was built by the Columbian Iron Works, Baltimore, Md, in 1894, and was pro pelled by steam engines.
 After the Plunger was abandoned the Holland company went to Lewis Nixon, who was at that time the prop rietor of the Crescent shipyard in Elizabethport, N. J. He said that he would build hull under certain condi- tions. My father said: "All right, go ahead" and construction was started in the fall of 1897. Before the work progressed very far a wealthy woman of New York gave us S25,OOO to de- fray expenses.
 This boat was launched shortly after the destruction of the battleship Maine and it was pretty closely watched dur ing that period. Her first trial was made on St. Patrick's day, 1898. When they first tried to submerge it was found that the boat had too much re- serve buoyancy, so they took pig iron on board for ballast. From that time on the eyes of the world were concen- trated on her as really the first sue cessful submarine boat.
 The boat was propelled by a 50- horsepower gasoline Otto engine. When the boat was nearly completed they despaired of getting a suitable engine. My father happened to go to an electrical show in Madison Square Garden, where he saw an exhibit of an electric lighting plant for a coun-

TELLS SOLDIERS HOW ID HANDLE FEET SO
 MARCHING Is EASY

A successful march, according to the field service regulations of the United
 States army, whether in peace or war,
 is one that places the troops at their
 destination at the proper moment and
 in the best possible condition. In war
 marches are of daily occurrence, and
 success depends in great measure upon
 the skill with which they are con
 ducted.
 Good marching is assured by careful preparation, strict discipline and the due observance of march sanitation. While conforming to other require ments, marches are conducted so as to reduce to a minimum the hardships of the troops.
 So much the officers in command of the units of marching column. are re- sponsible for, but there is another fac tor which enters into the equation, and which the individual must determine for himself. The distance which troops can march in a day is limited only by the endurance and marching ability of the slowest unit in the col umn. This distance is great or small as the men know, or do not know, how to expend their energy most econom- ically.
 A man has just so much energy to expend. If he wastes some of it it will move his body forward just so much less in the course of a day. Walking so that the body is raised and lowered unnecessarily with every step is a waste of energy, and not only makes each step shorter, but requires more work of the muscles in moving the | body forward a given distance.
 In drills at attention the prescribed | step for the soldier is thirty inches, and 100 steps are taken every minute. Marching in the field, however, is usu- ally at route step-that is, the men are not required to maintain he rhythm nor to keep step with each other. It is here that the individual can save his energy to the best ad- vantage.
 The feet should be moved forward in lines and planted without shock. The arms swing naturally at the sides, most of the motion being in that part of the arm below the el- bow. This maintains the balance of the body when the weight is on one foot.
 The rifle can be carried at will by troops marching at route step. Alto gether, the easiest way to carry it is at right shoulder arms, although, of course, change of position is very -estful.
 The position of right shoulder arms finds the rifle sloping across the shoul- fer at an angle of about 45 degrees, barrel and muzzle to the rear, trigger guard in the hollow of the shoulder. The heel of the butt is between the first two fingers and the right forearm elbow close to the side.
 In this position the soldier is doing ess work in carrying the rifle than in my other way. The center of gravity S just a trifle in the rear of the shoul- Ter.
