Renewed Testimony

No one in New Britain who suffers backache, headaches, or distressing urinary ills can afford to ignore this New Britain mans twice-told story It is confirmed testimony that no New Britain resident can doubt
 Simeon Molander, carpenter. 2s9 Maple street, says: Some time ago I had a severe attack of backache that bothered me for nearly a year. I think the trouble was brought on by my work, either by lifting Or over-reaching. My back felt weak and twinges of sharp pain would catch me when I stopped over. My limbs often seemed to ache and weaken. l used different medicines, but got little relief until Doan's Kid ney Pills were brought to my notice. After using about four boxes of Doan's my back was as strong as ever and I can speak in the highest terms in recommending them"
 The above statement was given April 21, 1916 and on Decembe 9, 1918, Mr. Molander said. "I haven't felt any signs of Kidney touble since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me three years ago. 1 know Doan's can't be beat.''

Breathe Hyomei for Two Minutes and
 Relieve Stuffed Up Head.

If you want to get relief from cattarh, cold in the head or from an irritating cough in the shortest time breath Hyomei.
 It should clean out your head in two minutes and allow you to breathe freely.
 Hyomei often ends a cold in one day, it will relieve you of disgusting snuffles, hawking, splitting and offen- sive breath in a week.
 Hyomei is made chiefly from 8 sooth- ing, healing, antiseptic, that comes from the eucalyptus forests of inland Australia where catarrh, asthma and consumption were never known to exist.
 Hyomei Is pleasant and easy to breathe. Just pour a few drops into the hard rubber inhaler, use as direct ed and relief is almost certain.
 A complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler and one bottle of Hyomei, costs but little at druggists every where and at the Clark & Brainerd Go. If you already own an inhaler you can get an extra bottle of Hyomei at druggists

NO WINE, NO SONG, l
 STAGE STAR SAYS
Mile. Dolysia Declines to Come to
 Dry America

New York, April 29.-A. H. Woods' where he went to produce the war play "Fricnd1y Enemies" and make plans for the coming dramatic sea- son in this country, will not intro Alice Dolysia to New York in the autumn as he had hoped. He has informed his office that prohibition is responsible for the sudden upset of his arrangement.
 Mile. Dolysia, who began singing in London In the first year of the war, has been climbing steadily up the ladder Of popularity, until she has come to be regarded as great ac- quisition for any American manager in search of new celebrities. After much spirited bidding for her serv ices, MT. Woods gained her consent to appear under his management.
 Negotiations had reached the point at which the manager and the actress met to sign contracts, when a third person present happened to make a remark about the new prohibition law. #
 'What!" exclaimed Mile. Dolysia. DO you mean that I cant drink a glass of wine with my dinner as l have been doing all my life? :?
 MT. Woods had to admit that such was the meaning of the new dry law.
 Then you may tear up the con tract she replied with much splrlC. 1T do not want to go to country where they can interfere to that e&- tent with what I and all the rest of the world know is my own personal affair No. l won't go at any price!'
 The actress was positive in her de- cislon and Mr. Woods, after much futile argument. sent word to his of- flee to cross Mile. Dolysia's name from his list of important acquisitions for next year.

ARMY FINDS MANY
 MEN BELOW PAR
Psychologists Find, 4,744 Soldiers Rating Below Seven Year Old In-
 tcIligcnce-7,719 Discharged.

Washington, April Collaborating recort upon the services of 200 psy- cho1ogists with the army, 7,749 men (05 per cent) were reported for dis charge because of mental inferiority between April a7 and November 30. 1918. During the same period re- commentators for assignment to la bor battalions because of low grade intelligence numbered 9,671 men (about O6 per cent), with 9,432 men assigned to the development battal- ion for special training. -.. , During this same seven months there were reported 4,774 men with a mental age" below seven years 7,762 between seven and eight years, l4,566 between eight and nine years, 18,5S1 between nine and ten years.
 The report states that 'it is ex- tremely improbable that many of these individuals were worth what it cost the government to maintain, equip and train them for military service.'
 The report continues that "a .strik- ing contrast in the intelligence status and distribution of best and poor est privates was shown by these psy cho1ogical tests. The personal judg nent data were obtained from sixty company commanders who were re- quested to designate their ten best and their ten poorest privates Of the poorest 57.5 per cent graded P or D., and less than per cent graded A or B. The results suggest that intelligence is likely to prove the most important single factor in determining a mans value to the mill itary service"

WORLD STAGE SET
 FOR GRAND FINALE
International Review Shows Action Speeding Toward Peace
(By The Associated Press)


 1he stage is rapidly being set for the final phase of the peace ncgotia- .lohS. Yesterdays plenary session of the peace conference stamped it's ap- proVal on covenant of the league of nations, while today Germany's plen- lpotentaries are expected to arrive at versailles to join the members of the missions already there.
 some points in thu peace treaty to De presented the Germans are un- settled but it is considered proba b1e the clauses involved will shortly be ready for incorporation in the docu ment so that the completed treaty will be ready for the enemy delegates before the weeks end.
 Italians May Return.
 Italy was not represented at the plenary session yesterday but dis patches from Rome indicate the probability that her delegates will re- turn to Paris after a brief period. The Italian parliament will meet to- day and it is expected Premier Or lando will at once appear and lay before it the situation arising at Paris when. President Wilson made his public statement relative to Plume and the Dalmatian coast.
 Action by the parliament which will be in effect a mandate to the Orlando ministry will be requested there being an effort to secure a unanimous vote on the resolution that Italy's claims on the eastern coast of the Adriatc be recognized.
 If this is done it is probable that Orlando and his colleagues will inn mcdiately re-appear at Paris.
 
 Advices from Rome state that the semi official view of the situation there is that Italy has not definitely withdrawn from the peace confer ence but has merely suspended par ticipation. If the vote of the Italian parlame ent is favorable to the posi- tion taken by Premier Orlando, it is probable that the diplomatic battle will be esumed in Paris.
 There is, apparently, no thought for the present at least, to annex Plume to Italy by parliamentary action it being planned to demand action on the part of the conference.
 The national council at Plume how ever has according to report handed municipality to 8 representative of Italy there.
 German Troops Advancing.
 German government troops are slowly encircling Munich which is held by Soviet forces but it is prob able that it will be several days be- fore a general attack on, the city is launched. Gustav Noske, the Ger man minister of defense is in com mand of all the government troops Bavarian and Wurttemburg forces being placed under his control. Hungariaus Being Defeated. Rumanian attacks against the So- viet army of Hungary are making progress according to reports which state that Bella Kun, head of the Hungarian Bolsheviki has admitted the troops under his command are being defeated. Hundreds of people are being arrested at Budapest and are being held as hostages by the Bo1shevki who threaten wholesale executions if the Rumanians continue to advance.
 Americans Being Withdrawn.
 The withdrawal of American forces from most of the front line positions in northern Russia is reported. It is said they will leave the country as soon as practicable.
