number of railway employees who are
greatly benefited thereby, but also of

committed to me is discharged faith
fully with justice to them.

operating in the enforcement Of dis
cipline and by increasing to the utmost
limit the output of locomotives and
cars so essential TO the success Of our

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
 NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of wom- en have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder dis ease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, are often times symptoms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. lilmer's SWamp-ROot, a physicians prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get q medium or large size bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer x Co.,, Binghamton, x. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the New Britain Daily Herald.

 The anti-aircraft guns are, for the most part, manufactured outside New Britain. Some parts, in addition to the mounts, are made here.

The soldiers and officers in charge have a range laid out over Long Island Sound in the direction of Cornfield Point, distance of about five miles The guns are of three inch mortar type, so that an cXten- sive range not easily procurable in land is necessary.
 The new building now being erect ed by the government on the south side of Chestnut street, near the New Britain Machine company plant, is to be used for the assembly of the guns.
 Practically the entire present out put of the New Britain Machine company is for government use. More than fifty per cent. of it goes directly to the government and the balance is used in private manufac- turing for the government
