The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Amer
lean dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say, at s4.7595. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S6ss per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that collars are at a premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng,
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle &C.
counts in England.

IF BACK HURTS TAKE SALTS TO
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Says Bacl<achc is sure sign you have been eating too much
 meat.
Uric Acid in meat clogs kidneys and irritateS the
 bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need a flushing occasionally, else We have backache and dull mis cry in the kidney region, severe head aches rheumatic twinges, torpid liv- er, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kid neyS active and clean, and the mo- mcnt you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for g. few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is n, ade from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with ithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kid ncys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizeS the acids in the urine so it no longer irr1tateS, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes 0 delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious complications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

REPORTS AURANIA SANK.
British Steamship Failed to Gain
 Coast of Ireland.

An Atlantic Port, March 5.--Hon- orably discharged from the British service after being on continuous ac- tive duty almost since the beginning of the war, James Randall, who has just passed his twenty first year, has arrived on a British steamship bound for his home in Charlestown, Mass His latest escape from death was when the Cunard liner Aurania was tor pedoed late in January. He brought news that the vessel instead of getting back to Irish coast in safety had been so badly damaged that she broke up and sank after being beached on Tory Isalnd.
 Randall has been twice wounded and once gassed, and he is now suf- fering from the latter injury. He has lost four brothers in the war.
 Tt was in the late afternoon when the torpedo struck the Aurania," he said. ''I was in my room at the time. The first thing I knew that we were in trouble was when a friend came to the door and shouted: Get up, Fritz has got us I did not get up. Being sleepy l told him to go away. A short time later there came the explosion, and I knew then that something had happened. l ran to the door and when I tried to open it I found it had damned. ] had to smash a panel to get out. When I got on deck the last boat was ready to go and I went with it.
 Three torpedoes were used on the Aurania, Randall said. The second was fired while the third after the ship was abandoned. Randall said he was in the captains S lifeboat and the sub marine which fired the last torpedo came to the surface so close that British sailor took a swipe' at the periscope with an oar.

TIRE IN OIL PLANT.
Gulf Refining Co. Station at Fair
 Haven Threatened.

New Haven, March 5.-Firc at the Gulf Refining company on Russell street, Fair Haven, which threatened serious explosions, with possible loss of life and certain destruction of pro- perty, was successfully fought by the Quinnipiac Fire company last evening" when they resorted to flooding the burning building with water in an effort to prevent the blaze from reaching several hundred barrels of oil stored within and three car tanks of oil sidetracked near tho burning building.
 The fire was discovered shortly be- fore o'clock in a warehouse of the Gulf Refining company plant, by neighbors, who gave the alarm to tho watchman and sent in a call for the fire department. About fifteen volun- teers and the apparatus of the Quin- nipiac Fire company arrived on the scene within a very few minutes. Being informed that there was oil stored within the building, they i'm mediately decided on flooding the building.
 Fearing that their efforts might not prove successful, and in view of the threatening danger, they sent in second alarm, bringing the Annex fire department 10 the scene. But their method proved to be satisfactory and within a half hour the fire was under control. Both companies remained on the scene for about two hours to guard against a possible blaze from an un- fOreSeen spot.

RELIEF FOR. ITALY.
Italian Women May Direct Goods to
 Home Country.

Hartford, March 5.--Women of
 Connecticut who desire 10 work for
 the Red Cross and have the products
 of their work sent for relief in Italy
 will have that privilege in tie future.
 Under former rulings it has been inn
 possible to designate the destination
 of material made for the Ted Cross.
 Albert T. TamblNn, director of
 chapter development Of the Atlantic
 division, American Red Cross, with
 headquarters in New York, has just
 issued a ruling which makes it pos
 sible to designate Italian relief as the destination of articles contributed. This ruling has been secured through the efforts of the Committee on We nlen's Activities of the Connections
 State Council of Defense. It IS in- cluded in the following appeal signed
 by MT. Tam blyn, directed To the Italian Women of Connecticut, For efficient relief work in the
 United States it has become increas- ingly important that all war relief societies unite their energies in the common cause and WIG arc appealing to tho Italians in the Statc of Con- necticut to join in the work of the ! American Red Cross as local a',<ll- iaries of the Chapters throughout the State.
 "These organizations would oper- ate under the same rules affecting other local auxiliaries of Chapters with the exception that the complct- ! ed material produced by these aux diaries may be designated tor the American Red Cross in Italy. q d the Chapters will forward such ar ticles to the Division Warohcuse in
 New York, through which all Red Cross supplies for relief work atroad 1 are shipped.
 The Division Office is counting 1 upon the cooperation Of the groups l of loyal Italian workers"

PHILIPS MUST SERVE.
"Conscientious Objector'' Will Wear
 tho Khaki Net.

Washington, March 5.--If Charles Francis Phillips of New York, the "concientious objector'' who was fired out of Camp Upton by the authorities because they did not want his kind in the army, thinks he thereby has escaped military duty he has another guess coming.
 The strong arm of Uncle Sam is to reach out for Phillips and pit a uni- form on him. That being done, it then will be possible to stow him safely away in a military prison where he won't have to fight. This treatment will be m eted out to Phillips If when he gets back in Camp Upton he elects again to resist his superiors, about which he has boasted since his dismissal
 The case of Phillips has not reached here yet officially, though a report on 1t from the authorities at Camp Upton IS expected any day. The action of Philips have stirred the authorities here that without waiting for the case to be reported the Provost Marshal general asked Adjt--General Mccain to forward to him the papers in Phil- lips's case as soon as they arrive.
 While officers here sympathize with the feeling of revu1son which Phillips excited among the authorities at Camp Upton, they made it plain to- day that a great mistake was made by the officers at the camp in drop ping Phillips because of his criminal record in resisting the draft. Instead he should have been kept in the army and punished for the first mira ction of it's rules.
