Bed of Air for Soldiers.

A new service bed has been designed
by an English manufacturer, which
will fit into a small valise when fold
ed. 1t Is made of fabric strong
enough to Withstand hard wear. When
1t is to be made up an inner casing
OF rubber is inflated by means of two
valves. Should it be torn or punc-
tured, the rubber can be repaired in
the same manner as tire. The bed
Is twenty-three inches in width, but
to accommodate those who find COM
fort in sleeping with knees slightly
raised. the knee rests have been made
seven inches wider on each side. It
requires about two minutes to initiate
the rubber section. When the bed is
not being used, the air is discharged
from the rubber see,ion.

totaled $4,000. Eighty-two shares of
stock have figured in transactions
during the same time.

No Trouble If This Mirror Drops.
1t is of Indestructible Steel.

A three by four inch mirror, which
is intended especially for use in the
trenches, is made of a special metal
which contains a high percentage of
nickel. 1t will neither rust nor cor
rode.
The surface of the metal is highly
polished and reflects almost as we'll
as glass. 1t is protected by a soft
lined case into which it fits.
1t is usually carried in the upper
left hand coat pocket. where it does
excellent service as a shield, being
sufficiently strong to divert glancing
bullets.

If you suffer backache, sleepless nights, tired, dull days and distressing urinary disorders, don't experiment. Read this twice-told testimony. It's Stafford Springs evidence-dOubly proven.
 George Irons, farmer, E. Main St., Stafford Springs, says: About a year ago my back became very sore and lame and I knew my kidneys were at fault, as they acted irregularly. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from the Eaton Drug Store, improved my condition very much and after finishing three boxes, was free. from the trouble"
 OVER FOUR YEARS LATER MT. Irons said: "I am glad to confirm all I said in my previous statement, rec ommending Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me and it hasn't been necessary for me to use anything for my back and kidneys in quite some time."

sonal experiences. The fact is we could but we cant because you know how imperative it is that we should not reveal any military secrets or even suggest any little thing that would make the Kaiser feel uneasy should this letter fall into his hands. Therefore I must write only of our personal affairs.
 As for the war itself I can say very little. During the present time with such stringent rules governing our speech it is not even good policy to entertain too deeply our own private thoughts and opinion of the war or military operations. As for the peace proposition. The way I look at the ed this thing and have been very per sistent in their operations so it's up % us to see that they do not finish it according to their own dictatiOn for that, to a marked degree, would be little short of a victory for them. That naturally leads to the question, When will the war end?" My prediction is that it will end when the Huns are licked and the world made safe for democracy, etc., and so on as you so often read in the papers and hear at patriotic speeches. Just live in hopes and insist that everyone do their bit. Victory is certain, but the question 'When?" remains unanswered.
 Without a doubt France is beauti- ful country. Looking from hill top out of a valley is nothing less than feast for the eye. The different shades of green and yellow and an occasional spot of new turned soil, wooded forests, clusters of shrubs, wonderful highways running every where lined with trees and the well kept canals and streams all stand out, each one distinct, yet seem to melt in to a mellow harmony pleasing to the sense of sight. In the cities, towns and villages things have look of sameness. You might say that stone walls make good scenery. Nearly all residences are bounded on four sides by walls of stone and unless one is on good terms with the occupant of any certain house and has a special invi- tatiOn it's case of staying on the outside, not only of the house but on the outside of the yard. You see these houses are all modelled after the styles that were necessary in the An cient and Medieval ages when soldier ing was an occupation and when the Knights fought for the favor of theil Lady's hand and, as it so often hap pened, the defeated rival became al outlaw and kidnapped the queen o his hearts desire.

Warden Leach and Borough Clerk
 Heald Decline Re-nOminatfOm.

At the borough citizens caucus, held last Friday evening Warden J. M. Leach and Clerk and Treasurer w H. Heald both declined re-nomina- tiOns. Warden Leach had previously stated that he was not a candidate for another term, but as he has made an excellent warden the voters at the caucus did not wish to have him re- tire and he was unanimously nomina- ted by the caucus. He declined the nomination and James Sheppard was nominated for the office. Borough Clerk and Treasurer w. H. Heald, who has held the office for g years, declined a re-nOminatiOn as his sena- torial duties and other business will take up so much of his time that he would not be able to give the office the necessary time needed. Senator Heald has been very efficient and OLliging during his long term as borough clerk and treasurer and it was regretted that he would not con- tinue to serve. Charles H. Moore was nominated in his place. Burgess EnOs E. Penny declined a re-nOmina- tiOn and H. B. Jones, who has been on the board the past year, has moved to New Haven. A. w. Kingsbury was re-nominated and John Quinn, ST. and Hannibal Alden are the two new members nominated on the board. The rest of the borough officers were all re-nOminated There were over thirty voters present, which was quite an improvement over the number that usually attends The citizens ticket is probably the only one that will be placed upon the ballot and the nOmi- tiOns made were equivalent to an election. The following is the ticket nominated: Warden, James Shep- pard. Jr.; burgesses for two years, John Quinn, ST., A. w. Kingsbury, Hannibal Alden; clerk and treasurer, Charles H. Moore; collector, P. J. Murray; bailiff, Thomas Hayes assessors, H. O. Butterfield, c. P. HOdgsOn, F. M. Barrett; board of re- lief, G. L. Dennis, Anthony Adams, G. J. Frazier; registrars of voters, George Siswick, P. J.
