OVER $500 BALANCE
 IN SOLDIERS FUND
Mayor Does Not Know What to Do With Money Suggestions Open

Mayor George A. Quigley issued @ statement last evening showing that a, total of $331. 10 still remains of the soldiers welcome fund. This amount has been placed in the bank. Mayor Quigley is undecided as to what dispo- sition will be made of the money and is open to suggestions as to how it should be expended. It has been sug- gested that the fund be used in the celebration that is to be held in this city in the immediate future.
 That the people of New Britain ob- jected to the vote of the common council in refusing to appropriate $1,O00 is evidenced by the fact that $1,353 was donated. Expenses paid by civilians brought the total receipts up to $1,535.35. Expenditures amounted to S1,204.25, leaving a balance of $331.10. A compilation of the re- ceipts and expenditures follows:

For Rheumatic Agony,
 Lumbago and Neuralgia
No Choking, Binding Fumes Accompany Its IJse-Con-
 talnS Req Mustard

The pain Of rheumatism and gout- the swelling-the soreness-are re lieved quicker by Begy's Mustarine e than by any liniment or plaster
 When you begin to feel those occa- sional pains in the chest, with tight ness and soreness, the best thing to do right away is to rub on Begy' $ Mustarine.
 The chances are it will save you from pleurisy, bronchitis and per- haps pneumonia.
 Mustarine (Begy's) is the original mustard preparation compounded to take the place of mustard plasters.
 It is better than any mustard plas- ter-far better-fOr it has twice the strength and can be kept on until all inflammation, soreness, aches and pains have disappeared.
 And it cannot blister-not even the tenderest skin.

MOON SHOWS CROSS \ AND DOUBLE RINGS
Unusual Lunar Phenomenon East Evening Arouses Widespread Inter- est Among "Star Gazers."

A lunary phenomenon, which astronomers say was one of the most peculiar observed here in 8 long time occurred last night and aroused wide spread interest among the thousands who noticed it. The moon was sur- rounded by a double ring and formed the center of 8 luminous cross. This appearing at the beginning of Holy Week was regarded as unusual.
 According to astronomical observ- CTS the phenomenon was due to freak ish atmospheric conditions. They said that the cross has been frequently ob- served and the double ring likewise, but that it has been rarely that the two have appeared together and in such brilliancy as last night.
 The four rays of light representing the cross shot out at right angles from the moon, and the intersections of the cross and the rings were par ticularly bright. At times the spec tacle became dimmed, but remained throughout the evening.
