MILLER AGAIN
 c. Q. p. CHOICE
 FOR JUDCESHIP
Nominee Directs Attention to Anachronistic Charac-
 ter of Probate Court.

Judge Paul S. Miller today received the Republican nomination for Judge of the Probate Court at the Republi- can Probate convention held in the sun parlor of the stratfield at noon. This will make the third time that Judge Miller has received the nom- ination. There was no opposition.
 After the meeting was called to or der, Judge William H. Comley, with a few introductory remarks placed Judge Millers name in nomination. Judge Comley said:
 Tt is only when one finds his life, his liberty, or his property subject to the will and discretion of a tribunal of law that he realizes how vital is the need for care in the choice of | judicial officers. It is our important | task to nominate a candidate for the office of Judge of Probate. And the task is none the less important be- cause we believe that a nomination is equivalent to election. Let us therefore so perform this duty that the party whose agents we are, and the people of this district to whom we appeal, may know that this inn portant office, by us at least, is re- | garded, not as a thing of political bargaining, but as high public trust requiring for it's service the highest qualities of character and training.
 T desire to place in nomination the name of Paul L. Miller of Bridge port. I have no hesitancy in express ing my confidence in his work ant ability and I trust you will heartily and unanimously concur with me-
 In a short address accepting tL nomination Judge Miller spoke as follows:
 -Four years ago and again in 191t I received the Republican nomination for Judge of Probate for the Bridge port district. The office of Probate Judge Is one of great importance anu it is the only judicial position in Con necticut which is filled by the elector and not by appointment. The req son is not clear-harking back as i docs to colonial tin{es-but it seem to me that in the opinion of tn framers of our State Constitution, tn incumbant stood in such close rela tionship to the people, and particu larly to the helpless and bereaved that the people themselves shoul' choose their candidate and by shor term of office scrutinize his judicia acts at frequept intervals"
 Following the convention Luncheon was served in the restaurant,
 The delegates from Bridgeport wer Judge Wn1iam H. Comley, Aldermel MacFayden, Olson and Burdick. Fror Trumbull, Elmer Nichols and O. E Burton. From Easton, F. J. Boot , and Edgar s. Jennings. From Mon roe, Andrew Hurd and John Burns.

The urine is cloudy, full ot sediment, channels often get sore water scalds and you are obliged tc seek relief two or three times durine the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable phy. sician at once or get from your phar. macist about four ounces of lad Salts take a tablespoonful in a glass O water before breakfast for a few day. and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from th' acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia. and has been useE for generations to clean and stimulat sluggish kidneys, also to ,neutraliz acids in the urine so it no longer ir ritates, tn suending bladder weak ness

 Americans fighting between the Mouse and the Argonne forest again have broken the German lines, reach ing a point from which they can see level ground ahead. This advance was made near Romagne, on the Kriemhild line west of the Mouse. East of the river, the Americans slowly are forcing the enemy back from his positions from which he has has heavily shelled the American troops fighting northward against the Kriemheld line.
 In the Champaigne sector the Ger mans are fighting savagely to hold up the French pursuit of the enemy forces which are being withdrawn to- ward the north. Along the Suippe' northeast of Rheims, the French have gained new footholds on the north side of the river, in spite of heavy German counter attacks.
