REAL WORK SOUGHT
 FOR WAR INVALIDS
German Ministry Publishes Appeal For Aiding Soldiers-No
 False Sympathy. /

Berlin, Jan. 9, via London, Jan, o:45 n. m.-The war ministry has made public an appeal on behalf of war lnvalids asking especially that they be given work whenever possi- ble and never false sympathy which is likely to be exemplifled more and more by the purchase of postal cards and knick-knacks from invalids who have taken to hawking and who are deliberately playing upon sentimental sympathies." The appeal says:
 "The states financial meons are all ready limited, and even With the most favorable peace there will be no prospect for a long time of sufficient wealth to enable the state, wholly or even in large part, to support its in valids. Therefore, charity will not suffice. Work alone uplifts and en- nobles. Even the poorest work cre- ates and sustains health"
 The appeal warns against. noticing or commenting on invalids wounds ad against encouraging unworthy hawking by the incapacitated. It urges that they be given honorable work at every opportunity.

Milk Campaign Statistics Watch
 for Your Milkman'S Name

In this space daily appears the re- suits of tho laboratory examinations of milk sold in New Britain. While the health department makes 8 full chemical and refractive examination of each sample, only the amount of fat and the degree of cleanliness of the milk will be recorded here in or der that the reader shall not be con- fused by an array of figures. The average milk contains from 3.5 per cent. to 4 per cent. fat. The statute requires that it shall not be less than 3.25 per cent. fat. Milk should be clean, but a mere trace of dirt does not signify dirty milk. On the oth- CT hand, there is no excuse for milk containing a small or large amount of dirt. The housekeepers can do as much toward making the campaign a success as can the board of health by reporting to both their milkdealer and tho health department any adverse condition they find in the milk they buy. This daily report will continue throughout the month and later full report will be made of the sanitary condition of the dairies in the city and on the farms

GAGNER IS FINED
 $20 FOR ASSAULT
Court Finds Restaurant Man
 Guilty Of Charge X

W Philip Gagner of 470 Arch street was fined $2O and costs by Judge James T. Mesl>ill in police court to- day for assaulting Thomas Lane, an -elderly man, at a Main street res taurant of which the accused is partner. An appeal was claimed with bonds fixed at s2OO. Lane, it was tes- tified, visited the restaurant and asked for credit temporarily for meal. Gagner waved him out with the re- sponse, "Nothing doing, shoot La ter 1t was testified, Lane again called and was put out with such force that his scalp was lacerated and 1t was necessary to take him to New Britain General hospital. Witnesses said all that Lane wanted to know was what Gagner meant by the word shoot and that after leaving the restaurant blood began running from under his hat similar to water from a, fully opened faucet"
 . Gagner said he only hit Lane With the palm Of his hand and was at loss to understand how the lacerated scalp was caused, unless Lanes head came in contact with the sharp edge of the partially opened door. t
 Lane proved to be an unsatisfactory witness, said ne rememDered HoHe ol the details of the assault and thought the blow and a drink were responsible for his lapse of memory. He was sharply questioned by Judge Mesklll as to whether anyone had talked With him about the case. Non-commlttal replies were received, Lane appearing to be in a daze.
 E Jacob Eskrow's manner ci express ing himself verbally to Policeman William Hayes resulted in {. fine or $7 and costs for breach of the peace. Eskrow, who lives at 31 Hclace street, explained that he usually talks that way, even to his friends.

GERMAN ARMY
 GAINS ON DISEASE
Decrease in Epidemics During Second Year of War Attributed to
 Vaccination With Scrums.

Berlin, Jan. 9, via London, Jan. 10, 6:15 a. m.-A noteworthy decrease in epidemic disease in the German ar mics has, been scored during the sec ond year of the war. According to of fcial reports just published the num- Der of cases has dropped from 51 per 1000 during the first year of the war to a trifle over 3S per 1000.
 The greatest number of patients, 21h per 1000 have been treated for nervous diseases due to the strain of battle and particularly of trench war fare under terrific artillery bonn bard ments like those of Champagne, Yer dun and the Somme. Pleurisy was responsible for six cases per 1000, pneumonia four, tuberculosis one-sev- enteenth, enteric one-fourteenth and dysentery e-eighteenth.
 A feature of the report is the ab- solute disappearance of small pox and the virtual elimination of other scourges like typhus, typhoid and cholera The immunity of the sol diers is attributed to vaccination with preventative serums and other scienti- fic methods of prevention.

Uric Acid in Meat excites Kidneys

Take Salts at first sign of Bladder ! = weakness or Kidney Backache.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid says a noted authority The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and ainf1ame, causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation It the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times
 during the night. The sufferer is in
 constant dread, the water passes
 sometimes with a scalding sensation
 and is very profuse; again there is
 difficulty in avoiding it.

BETTER THAN CALoMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub- stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re- suit of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with ca1omel His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel:: They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to, take calonel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place:
 Most headaches, "dullness' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr.: Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel 1o,ggy" and 'heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up the spir- ;-e 10c and 25c 2 box. Ali druggists.

When You Thread a Needle.

You may deny that your eyesight is
failing or not so good as it should be,
but when it comes to needle-threading
you are given away. Don't try to fool
yourself and waste precious minutes
thrusting a refractory thread into
needle-eye which you do not see. Do
it this way:
Thrust the needle through piece of
cardboard or stiff paper just as far
as the eye. The paper holds the needle
securely and throws the eye into re-
lief.
Another method that will help one
out of the difficulty is this Some day
when the light is good thread whole
package of needles upon spool of
thread. Then instead Of poking over
one needle at IA time, while you are
sewing, all you have to do is to break
off II needle and thread until the whole
pack has been used.
There is contrivance now on the
market consisting of small magnify
ing glass, which fastens on the spool
and magnifies the needle-eye.

INSECT AS AGENT OF DESTINY
Enormous Creatures That Once
Roamed the Earth.

To account for the death of those
enormous creatures which once roamed
our western country and peopled its
swamps and forests, the older geolo-
gists devised convenient theories,
such as changes of climate, volcanic
disturbances, warfare among the spe-
cies.
AS information accumulated, 1t be-
came harder and harder to make the
theories fit the case. Given time and
animal life adapts itself to changes of
climate. Movements of the earth are
seldom so widespread that flight can
not be taken from a disturbed area to
one of safety. If giant lizard fought
mountainous mammal, why did the sur
vivor go? Theory, 1t was seen, must
be in keeping with the law of probable
tiles. A new and more reasonable
hypothesis has recently been brought
forward.
At the time that nature was expert
menting with monsters, there existed a
lake in Colorado. 1t was surrounded
with forests which We're tenanted by
hosts of insects. A volcano buried the
lake and it's shores in ash. This hard
ened into stone. Scientists go to this
ancient graveyard, split the stone and
bring to light the petritied bodies of
the butterflies and moths, the beetles
and bugs. Among these insects are
two species of tsetse flies. There is
nothing like them in America today.
But in Africa they abound. They are
known as the carriers of the sleeping
sickness, one of the deadliest of dis
eases. 1t is fair to assume that the
tsetse flies of Miocene times We're the
hosts or distributors of disease bacilli
as they are now. Upon that assumption
new theory can be constructed: The
tsetse flies developed into terrible
pest. AS they flourished, their victims
grew less. In the course of centuries,
the bulky citizens of plain and marsh
gave up the warfare. They could fight
one another and yet live. They could
not deal with merciless insects.
The theory has this merit whatever
else it may lack. 1t is plausible where
it's predecessors succumbed to clearer
thinking.-Toledo Blade.

FOR BINDING SPRAINED ANKLE
Some Simple Directions That Will Be
Found Useful in Case Of
Accident.

Take strip Of adhesive plaster
about two inches wide and twelve
inches long. Starting about the lower
third of the leg, bring it down under
the arch of the foot and up the OppO-
site side of the ankle, drawing it
tightly under the arch. Overlap this
about one-half inch with another
piece the same width and length.
Then, using one-inch-wide adhesive,
start from the heel and apply short
strips, each one overlapping the other
by about one-half inch, to meet and
overlap the broad strip on both sides,
running these strips up as far as the
lower third of the leg. Over these mar
row strips apply two-inch strips of
the same length, starting from the
same point and running up the same
distance, each one overlapping the
other. Then draw a couple of short
wide strips tightly under the arch, and
IA narrow strip under the sole of the
foot and up the course of the tendon

Something About Fish.

Did 1t ever occur to you that there
might be a reason for fish being dark
on the back and light underneath?
When we look into the water, it seems
so very dark, and we can scarcely dis
linguish any fish, although they may
De very near the surface. And an en-
emy, looking from below, could easily
see the fish If it were not for the fact
that the lower part of the body Is u
light color. Thus we find that the dark
back protects the fish from the enemy
above the water, and the light on the
underside Of the body protects 1t from
