PROSECUTING ATTY.
 GETS HIS CAR BACK
Klett'S Machine, Stolen Saturday,
 Found in New Haven

Washington street was the scene of another of the numerous autom bile thefts that have occurred in that section of the city, Saturday night, when a Buick limousine owned by Senator George W. I<lett was taken shortly after 10 o'clock, while the senator was in the clubhouse of the New Britain lodge of Elks. Fortu- nately, the machine has been recover ed, word having been received yester- day afternoon from the New Haven police that the car was discovered abandoned on Trumbull street in that city. On receiving notification of the recovery of. the machine, Senator Klett left for the Elm City to bring back the machine.
 Senator Klett, with his brother Frank had been at the office of Klett & filling and on leaving they went to the Elks' home. Senator Klett re- mained but a short time in the build- ing and when he came out he found the machine, which had been left standing near the entrance to St. Marks parish house, missing. He immediately notified the police, and at once the wheels were set in motion to apprehend the thieves.
 Sergeants Richardson and Johnson went out in autom obiles in different directions and friends of Senator Klett also volunteered their assist ance. The search contuined until yesterday morning without the slight est trace of the thieves having been secured. The only clue that was giv- en was furnished by a member of the Elks who saw two young men and a gray haired woman enter the car, but it did not arouse his suspicion. On learning of the theft of Senator Klett's car he immediately notified the latter.
 The machine was in good condition, although the inside showed that the party had thoroughly enjoyed their trip. Considerable peanut shucVxs were spilled on the floor The outside of the car was covered with dust, indi- eating that the 'joy riders'' had pro- ceeded toward New Haven along the back roads.
 That the police of Meriden are vigf- lant, Senator Klett will testify While driving his machine home last eve- ming he was stopped twice by officers who had received the number of his machine, and he was forced to prove his identity before being allowed to proceed.

BIDS FOR CITY GARAGE
 HAVE BEEN REJECTED

The bids for the new municipal gar age proposed to be erected back of the police station on Commercial street, submitted Saturday, were rejected for the second time this morning. While it was said the bids were again in excess of the appropriation of $15, 1000, which was the cause of the previous rejection of the bids, rumor has it that the reason was that the bids submit ted were so close to each other that it was felt best to reject them The bidders were John E. Downes B. H. Hubbard company and H. N. Ruther- ford.

ReStful SleeD

A prominent business man writes: For many years I have suffered from In- somnia. I would toss and turn all night, my mind dwelling real and visionary business projects and l would arise in the morning in such a wretched con- dition that it required little uragement to seek relief in stimula- ting liquors with the usual result. Last week friend advised me to try KAL- PHO and last night I enjoyed a calm, restful, full-nights sleep for the first time in ten years and. judging from the ease with which I handled important matters today, it is my candid opinion that general use of KALPHO will pro- duce far greater efficiency in business"
 Insomnia is only one of the many forms of nervousness for which KAL PHO stands supreme a remedy If you are overworked, worried, irritable and easily fatigued, try KALPHO and observe it's magical effect. Contains no harmful nor habit-forming drugs. At druggists $1.0O. Refuse substitutes. Insist the genuine KALPHO.
