An inexpensive and needed i'm
provement that the New Haven road
could make at the local passenger
station, and also at the Berlin station,
would be the installation of a wheel
chair for the accommodation of Grip
pies and invalids who are patrons Of
the road. There Is hardly a day
passes but what some unfortunate in
valid or cripple has occasion to alight
from the trains at these stations and
at present they have to rely upon the
attention of friends or other passen-
gers. wheel chair, that could be
used in such cases to convey the in
dividual TO other trains or 10 wait
ing carria ges, would be an excellent
thing.

w. S S.
Judging from the reports given by
local retail coal dealers the big prob
lem confronting New Britain is the
delivery of coal Just as much as OBJ
tanning a supply. There is no Ques-
ton as to the shortage of labor and
the coal dealers arc certainly up
against it." If conditions do not i'm
prove at once it may yet be neces-
sary for consumers of coal to go to
the yards themselves and shovel it. or
else send someone who will. The
other day at one local coal yard the
mana ger, without men to send out on
delivery wagons received a large
numb of orders and in every case
advised the prospective customer that
he would guarantee the coal If he
(the customer) would shovel 1t or Sc
cure someone to do 1t for him. In
several cases this arrangement
seemed satisfactory but no one APP
peared to shovel the coal.
The public also should take heed of
the several warnings issued by Local
Fuel Director James S. North Mr.,
North is bending every effort to Sc
cure sufficient supply OF coal for
the city. but the citizens too SHOULD
do their part During the summer

start No stoves and furnaces, they
should see to it that their heating

RENEWED TESTIMONY.

No one in Brattleboro who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Brattleboro man s twiee-told story. 1t
is confirmed testimony that no Brat
tleboro resident can doubt.
o. F. Howe, blacksmith and carriage
maker, Elm street, Brattleboro, gave
the following statement on September
%, 1905: HsMy back troubled me for
long time and l got lame from stoop-
ing and lifting, / could hardly straight
en- up. Sharp pains caught me every
time l stopped and though ! tried plas-
tiers and liniments and several rene
dies for my back, got no relief. Fl
nally, / got Doan $ Kidney Pills from
the Brattleboro Drug Co. and two
boxes did what the other remedies had
failed to do. They removed the lame
ness and soreness from my back, the
baekache left and my kidneys became
regular. / could once again work all
day and didn t feel the affects of it in
my back.
On November 20, 1916, Mr.. Howe
said: "Doan s Kidney Pills are just as
high in my estimation today as they
were when | gave them by first recon-
mendation. Every time | have the
least trouble with my back, use
Doan s Kidney Pills and they always
straighten me up in good shape. =

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Miss Margaret Slattery, beloved
leader of girls welfare work, will
speak at the Omaha Auditorium on
the evening of September "a, under
the auspices of the War Community
Service. Miss Slattery will talk to
the girls of Omaha, every one of
whom is invited, and her subject will
be the patriotic club work.
Miss Slattery used to be a school
teacher in Fitchburg, Mass. Possessed
of wonderful magnetic personality
and a heart full of the love of her
kind, Miss Slattery draws and holds
crowds: She is so popular as lee
turer that her time is engaged two
years ahead, and Omaha was for
tunate enough to secure her only
through the fact that she is a per
sonal friend of Miss Frances Range
Of the War Camp Community
Service.
The American girl and the war are
the subjects to be discussed at the
meeting: Every girl, whether she is a
mere child or so old she has forgotten
the count of her birthdays, is invited
to hear this sweet-faced woman with
the musical voice and possessed of the
love OF every, girl and woman who
has ever met her or heard her speak.
