KIDNEY REMEDY RECEIVES
GREAT PRAISE

Your Swamp-Roo has proved very
effective as a kidney, liver and blad-
der remedy and my customers are
always satisfied with the benefits OBJ
tanned from Swamp Root. I know of
several ailments of the kidneys, liver
and bladder that have been cured by
it and I always recomm end ii when
ever / can. After selling Swamp-Root
for eight years I have heard nothing
but words of praise.
Very truly yours,

SENDS CABLEGRAM
TO CAPT. GRISWOLD
Common Council Voices AppreCia'
ton Of Soldiers Heroism

The special meeting of the common
council last evening, called especially
to consider the development of the
Burlington water supply, developed
but little in the line of conclusive re-
suits, although Councilman Charles
McMurray of the fifth ward bid fair
to start things rolling when he arose
and declared that to his mind men,
bers OF the Home and City Guard are,
In a way, "slackers". This sortie
called forth some caustio remarks
from Mayor Quigley. The council
voted to send a cablegram of appre-
citation to Capt. A. III. Griswold.
No Action on Water Supply.
The first item taken up at the spe-
:, cfai meeting was in reference to the
development of the Burlington water
supply and its estimated expense of
about S325, 600. Chairman w, b.
Rossberg, Ernest N. Humphrey and
P. j. Egan, representing the water
board, and City Engineer w. Fl. Hall
explained the plans in detail and an
swered numerous questions PROFOUND
ed by the council mem bers. AS the
discussion continued it waxed warm
err and at one time, after Mr.. Hum
phrey had taken occasion to reply to
some question in a rather spirited
manner, Mayor Quigley cautioned the
council members to be courteous in
their cross questioning of the COM
missioners. Alderman O. F. Curtis
injected a little humor when, in OBJ
posing the scheme at the present
time, he said: "I don't want to see
New Britain go dry, but I don't think
this is the time to do this work"
He also called attention to the ex-
pense and declared that under gov
eminent regulations no big municipal
bond issue can be foated unless it
has the approval Of a SUBJ committee
of the treasury department. Coun-
Gilman George NJ. Landers replied
that at this time, when the govern
ment is throwing out money In mil
lion dollar lots, he did not think
there would be any opposition to any
plan to increase New Britain's eff
Hency, especially in view of all the
war contracts that are dependent on
the local concerns which are in turn
dependent upon the water supply.
Councilman A. F. Eichstaedt of the
second ward told the council he want
ed to go on record as favoring the
developm ent plan and he was for be-
ginning work at once. The matter
was finally dropped when Alderman
Curtis put through a resolution CALL
ing for delay of one month when
the question will again be taken and
moro detailed information provided
and at this meeting the city treasurer
will be present to give some idea as
to the city's finances.
Objects to Term "Slaclxcrs''.
Several weeks ago Mayor Fitz-
Gerald of New Haven sent a letter to
the council advocating the abatement
Of personal tax for members of the
Home Guard who give so freely of

was referred to Corporation Counsel

TO include the City Guard a. we'll

Gumption.

A good old word that's gone to
seed! Yet "gumption' is the
stuff you need, if you would gain
renown; if you have gumption
you will win, though all the plan
cts may be in plot to hold you
down. So many live from mouth
to hand, and spend their lifetime
pounding sand, out yonder in the
rain! They've had advantages
galore, and golden chances at their
door have knocked, and knocked
in vain. With good intentions in
their hearts, they failed in all the
busy marts where worthwhile
things are done; they found this
world killing frost, they had no
gumption and they lost, while
chaps with gumption won. The
man with gumption hews his way
from lowly station, day by day, to
something high and fine; as Lin
coin rose from low estate, until
upon the White House gate one
day he nailed his sign. The man
without it hits the pike with
everything that mortals like, to
cheer him ON his road, but all his
ventures turn out i'll; at last the
poorhouse on the hill becomes his
punk abode. It's gumption spurs
the laggard stepl It stands for
sense and grip and pep, and all
things hard to beat; twas Eli
coined the word, I think, and Eli
WAS the honored gink who landed
with both feet.
