HORSE THIEVES IN BERLIN ARE WORKING LIVELY

Berlin, Oct 10-Thirty-five to forty horses are stolen each day in Berlin, and a, very small percentage are ever returned to the owners, de- spite the creation of a special police department to combat this evil. The horses disappear for ever because they are usually imme ediateIy slaughtered and the meat sold through Illicit trade channels
 The thieves watch for teams, the drivers of which have left them for a moment, and drive the horses away. If the wagons contain anything of value it is stolen and the horses are taken to secret barns and sheds, or even to wooded suburban sections, and killed immediately.
 Insurance companies that used to insure horses and teams will do so no more

The appended communication, an open letter to the Rev. William H. Day, pastor of the United church, from Joseph W. Northrop deals with the question of the most appropriate site for the new United Church build ing. This question Is of importance not only to the people who comprise this church but to the public of the city as well for the reasons that this architect has set forth in his letter.
 He says:
 May I take the liberty of address ing you to express some ideas in re gard to the location of the United Church? I am interested not only as a church member, but as an architect who has devoted much time and thought to this subject, as you know, and as a citizen greatly interested in the development and improvement of our city.
 AS you recall, about a year ago I brought to your attention, and to the attention of the public through pub ncation of my drawings, a plan for the development and architectural treatment of a civic center for Bridge port. This plan included as a princi- pal feature, the new edifice of the United church. I might almost say that the United church was the cen Ifal ODJect or the scheme. Located
 on the historic site, with the proposed Library on one side, and the City Hall and green on the other; and backed tby the proposed Memorial building; ! all of these in conjunction with the 1 splendid bank buildings adjacent, the Masonic Temple and Court Exchange | building, making a group of fine i buildings in the center worthy of the city.
 i ''The church thus located would be not only 9 single object of interest
 and beauty, but would have an added
 value as a part of the architectural group, receiving added interest from
 it's architectural surroundings; in turn
 giving interest to them and to the whole.
 Surrounded by the buildings stand ing for government; education and
 culture; patriotism and business; the
 church would stand before all the peo-

DISCOVERS WAY

Geneva, Switzerland, Oct. 10-A discovery which is expected to save housewives great expense has just been made by a Berne engineer, Charles BingeIIi, who has invented a process for soldering aluminium. Professor SchuIe, of the Federal In stitute of Berne, in a test made a few days ago, soIdered two bars of aluminium. They snapped under the weight of 800 pounds but the sol dering successfully resisted pressure. Heretofore, aluminium had defied welding, the professor said.

TSITE OF UNITED CHURCH MATTER
 OF CIVIC INTEREST SAYS ARCHITECT

1 pie as an object lesson. that the basic idea of our great ancestors in making the church a central feature of the life of the town still lives as funda- mental in Bridgeport
 Tn the center of the city the tall, graceful spire, so ably designed by MT. Gilbert, would stand, as does its prototype, St. Martins in the Fields near the Strand, London. Or as in New Haven, the three beautiful 1 churches stand in the heart of the city, surrounded by the buildings ded- 1cated to education, culture, govern ment and business.
 " hat is it that attracts us most in ] New Haven? What is the thought l that stands in our mind for New Ha- ven? Is it not the picture above re- ferred to? The rest does not seem to count very much, as typifying New Haven
 1 The United church thus placed, it's spire will be the focal point of Bridge port.
 1 Churches away from the center are local churches; neighborhood church. 1 eS. The central church, like the cathe- draI of the old European city; identi- city.
 But such a church must be a great church. Great in it's own life; Tn It's influence in the community; ana architecturally great. A big pro- | gfam-but not too big for the United | church of Bridgeport; nor for it's leader Dr. William Horace Day. This idea of treating the church as one of the leading features of a l large architectural development is, of course, incomplete unless the rest
 of the scheme is carried out.
 The plan is already two-thirds | deNeloped:-by the several splendid monumental bank buildings, of which
 we are justly proud; by the fine dig
 nified old City Hall, with it's small
 but attractive greens; by the govern
 ment building which will be greatly
 enlarged and improved; and by the
 Masonic Temple and other adjacent
 buildings of architectural interest.
 If this entire plan can be carried
 out, 1t will give Bridgeport a noble
 architectural civic center, so placed
 that it will daily be seen by a great
 number of our citizens, and those | passing through the city.
 ''Without doubt, the influence of
 the men of the United church if once
 fully aroused. would go a great ways toward the carrying out of this entire project.
 The historic interest attached to
 the old site should not be lost sight
 of. It means a great deal to many of the members of the United l church; as years go by, it will mean more.
 "Of course the question of practica- } bility is paramount The United , church draws it's members from all , parts of the city. On this account a central location is desirable. Freedom from noise is most i'm
 portant. Noise is fatal to devotion } Tt has been rumored that the l, church may possibly be located on 8
 site where the trolley lines pass or three sides, and hundreds of jitneys ? ontwo sides. The central site woul6 r be far more quiet. In fact the cen
 tral site is not a noisy site and is moi
 likely to become so, as it is not locat- ! ' ed on a thOroughfare. , But if necessary a beautiful ant
 monumental edifice can be built

PLAN THE WAR GARDEN NOW
More Food Than Ever Before Should Be Raised by Amateur Growers
 This Year.

The ending of the war has placed additional obligations on the Amercan people, We have not only our friends the allies to feed. but our former enc mics must also be kept from starva- tion.
 The larger part of the people of the evacuated regions are destitute: they must have food and this country is the only place it may be had in suf- feient quantities. This means that We will be asked to get along with less meats, fats, grains and sugar and make up the difference with things We can grow in our own gardens. The home gardens of America must be re- lied upon for a larger proportion of our living than ever before.
 Potatoes, beets, carrots. peas, corn and tomatoes are among the most im- portant garden crops from a food standpoint. Radishes, lettuce onions. cucumhers, turnips, squash, cabbage. eaulitiower, spinach, Barsnfps. egg plants, peppers, etc, add to the va riety.
 Potatoes, peas, beets and carrots can be planted almost as soon as the frost is out of the ground, and then can be followed by the more tender crops as soon as the ground has be- come reasonably warm.
 When there is sufficient room an asparagus bed should be planted, also rhubarb and the small fruits, particu- larly raspberries.
 Larger grounds afford room for grapes, blackberries, currants. goose berries, strawberries and possibly a few apples, peaches, pears, cherries and plums-and the child-en especial ly enjoy and thrive on plenty of fresh fruit.

Preventing Cracks in Pavements.

At recent meeting of the American Society for Municipal Improvements held at Buffalo, an interesting paper was read on frest-proof foundations for hard-surfaeed payements, in which It was suggested that the sub-grade should be laid with a course of hollow tile of say four-fnch height, overlaid with a foundation of two to four inches of concrete. On this, the pay ing material may he laid The tile acts as non-conductor of heat. pre- venting the frost from penetrating to the sub-grade and also acts as a drain for moisture. Should frost reach the sub-grade, the tile will break under the pressure and to insure it's break ing, the tile may be scored at the bot tom. The oyerlying concrete will bridge the breaks in the hollow tile. This will prevent upheavals of the pavement.-Scientific American.

Weekly Health Talks X Word About the
 Kidneys
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they thin, something is the matter with their lungs or heart, and well they may be; but few people understand the dangers of dis eased kidneys. These organs have a duty of vital importance to perform and if they are diseased, there is no telling how or where the symptoms may appear. The kidneys are filters, and when they are healthy they remove the poisons from the blood and purify t. When the kidneys are diseased. Che poisons are spread every where. and one of these poisons Is uric acid The uric acid is carried all through the system and deposited in various places, in the form cf urate salts-in the feet, ankles. wrists and back-often forming bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result ing trouble is called rheumatism. lumbago, sciatica and baekaehe. Finally. come stone in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis ease.
 Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, \. Y, in recent years, discovered that a certain eombina- ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid tulate salts) in the system He found this combination to be harmless. SO that he made t up in tablets. of double strength. and called them Anuric Tablets They dissolve uric aeid in the human system as hot coffee dissolves sugar If you have uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking Anufie Tablets, which can be secured in the drug stores. You can write Dr. Pierce, too and he will tell you what to eat and how to live so that more uric acid will nor form in your system Dr. Pierce will not charge for this advice
