IN THIS WINTER Of our discomfort when the oldest in

NOT A BEST SELLER.

THOSE seeking some means Of Willing away the long

government printing office has just issued a book entitled
Analytical and Critical photography of the Tribes Of Terra

may not. Doubtless their interest will be no greater than
ours, which doesn't extend beyond the statewide title. Per
haps such a volume may further the ends Of science, but
1t will never be a best seller, and in this era of c%onserva-

'BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarmless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi. tute for calornel -- are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calonel. 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 calonel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teethf Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, 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 "1oggy" and "heavv." Note how they clear clouded brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits. 1oc and 25c box. All druggists.

Good things should be passed along It is now said that a few drops of a drug called froezone ap- piled directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness and soon the entire corn. root and all, can be lifted out without pain. -
 For little cost q quarter of an ounce of freezone can be obtained from any drug store which is claimed to be sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 This is a drug recently announced from Cincinnati. It is gummy but dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels up the corn without intlaming or even irritating the healthy tissue or skin.

NEW BRITAIN POLES
 IN FRANCE READY
Training Camp Views Showing
 Men Who Left Thanksgiving

On last Thanksgiving day about 100 young Polish men left New Brit ain to join the Polish Legion of the French army for service in the world war under the standards of France in it's famous foreign legion. The ma- jority of them are already in France. The men who left New Britain have been organized in one company and are now about ready for field service. Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Polish Catho- lie church is in receipt of photo graphs of his boys as he affec- tionately calls them, taken st tho training camp in France. They ap- pear fully uniformed and armed with rifles, which dispOSeS of the German propaganda that the Polish recruits are not being properly taken care of. Friends of the recruits who have closely studied the photographs re- ceived believe they can see in the pictures an improvement in the dp- pearance of the volunteers.
 Some of the men who went in the first delegation were seasoned fight CTS. One of them fought in the Rus SO-Ja panGSe war and Tn that cInl- paign saw arduous service.
 One of the picture shows a guard detail ready to go on duty. It was taken outside the barracks where the soldiers were Quartered.
 So far about 150 Polish young men have gone to service in France fOr the mere pittance of 5 cents a day. They would gladly have served in the United States army, but governments al regulations prevented. As mcm" bers of the Polish legion they have been unable to take advantage of the war insurance allowed to the soldiers serving under the Stars and Stripes. Despite the handicaps they are hap py and ready for a drive at the Huns. Father BojnoWslI has made lr- engagements so that the relatives and friends in New Britain will know of their accomplishments.

BAKER MAY REQUIRE
 3,OOO,OOO IN ARMY
Appears With Secret Estimates Before House Military Committee

WaShingtOn, May 1.-PlanS for in creasing the war army to keep pace with the accelerated movement of American soldiers to the battlefront in Franco will be laid before the House Military committee by Secretary Baker within a day or two. Mr. Baker said late yesterday after a prolonged session of the cabinet that he would be ready to submit his estimates in that time.
 What increase is to be asked has
 not been disclosed, but the report most widely circulated is that an ad- ,ditional million mon will be pro- vided for in the appropriation bills submitted, bringing the ramy up to more than 3,000,000 men.
 It is known that a very careful sur vey of the equipment and transporta- tiOn situations was completed by the war department recently as a basis for formulating plans to increase the army. The Provost MarshaIs office has taken steps to ascertain in definite figures the exact number of fighting men available in Class 1 of the selec
 tive service forces, and recommends tions for authority to organize ad-
 dtional divisions and estimates for appropriations have been held up
 pending the completion of these studies.
 Previous plans contemplated the mobilization of an additional 5000
 men during the present year. This
 project represented the filling up to
 full strength of all existing divisions
 and the erection in France before the
 end of the year of a full field army
 under General Pershing, with an ample Teserce to keep the lighting
 ranks full at all times.
 Plans for the equipment of troops
 were based on this project, it Is un- derstood, and in considering pro- posaIs to enlarge the program eXtfn- sively the prospect of shortage Of uniforms and other equipment, as well as of transportation, must be con- sidered. There is little disposition to call men to tho colors and further de- range industrial life in the country unless there is good prospect that they can be sent abroad within q reasonable time.
 The accelerated movement of troops to Europe Is proceeding smoothly, and officials are much encouraged by the showing of the transportation service. secretary I0akeG IiS DSSIt III frequent conference lately with Lord Reading, British ambassador, and the aid iN transporting soldiers Great Britain can furnish probably will play part ill ] determining the size of the enlarged army.
 While the cabinet was discussing the war department plans today, legisla~ ton, looking to q large increase in the military forces, was proposed in the senate by Senators Smith of Georgia,
 Reed of Missouri, and Poindcxtcr of
 Washington. The proposals reflected i a growing restiveness among senators { over the delay of the administration 1 in revealing it's plans.
 Senator Smith offered a resolution ] calling upon the Military Affairs com mittoe to prepare a bill for 5,O00,0Q more men for the national army. SenH~ tor Reed put in q bill to draft an additional 3,000,00o men, while Sena- | tor Poindexter offered a bill to add 1 1,500, 900 men to the draft. The move for action by the senate
New Britain herald., 1918-05-01
READY FOR GUARD MOUNT

was impelled it was stated in the senate lobby, by the failure of Secrc- tary Baker, in his recent appearance
 before the Senate Military Affairs committee, to disclose any plan re- garding an increase in the national army.
 Senator Smith only a short time ago announced in the senate that the be-
 lieVed the National army ought to be
 doubled in size. The turn of events
 since the German drive started has
 convinced him that an even greater
 number will be needed from America
 to swing the tide in the Allies favor
 He believes the war is going to last
 considerably more than a year.
 Senator PoindeXter'S bill calls upon
 the secretary of war to draft an addl-
 tional 100000 men from the registry
 lists land to proceed forthwith to
 train and equip them for service in
 the National army
 Tn introducing the bill I should
 like to say that I notice in the press that the secretary of war is consider ing this matter and that conferences are being held about it, and l pre- sume that congress is waiting until somebody in the war department pre- pares a bill and hands it in," said Senator PoindeXter. My opinion is that congress ought to act immed- lately and that there should not be any delay. ''The foundation of this proposed increase is already in laws that have been enacted. All that is necessary is to call an additional number of men The bill authorizes contracts and the incurrcnce of expenses that may be necessary in carrying out this work
 'There should not be a day lost Destiny and opportunity are marching
 by while we are holding conferences v Reed Would Prepare for Invasion. Senator Reeds bill would raise the aggregate of the army to more than 5,OOO,000 men. The missouri Senator warned the senate in a speech three months ago that America should raise an army not only for service in France but against a possible invasion of this country Senator Reed believes that the present selective draft law will not yield over 2,500,000 men. This, he insists, is far short of the army America must have to make her part effective
 The bills and resolution were re- ferred to the Military Affairs com- mittee, which is expected to act within @ few days. A majority of the committee favors d large army program.
