Damage estimated at over s2,000 to building and contents was caused on Tuesday afternoon shortly after 4 o. clock by fire in the Sussnan. Silver berg & Co. mattress factory at the cor ner of Chestnut street and Chestnut avenue.
 Prompt work by the fire department with four streams oi water and with chemical checked the blaze in good shape and held it to about half the building which is a one story frame structure covered with corrugated iron.
 The fire started from the duster ma chine in a room near the corner of the building and spread like a flash through the loose cotton in that room and the adjourning rooms, igniting the wood work partitions and spreading up into the roof.
 At the first flash H. Levine, one of the employees, tried to beat out the blaze. but had to run from the swiftly spreading flames, though not before he managed to shut off the electric mo- tor I. Beyer, who is employed in the factory, dashed out to the fire alarm Box 25. at the corner of Chestnut street and Chestnut avenue closely followed by Joseph zeif. who had a i wrench with which he broke the glass and Beyer pulled in the alarm.

SALTS IF BAckAcHY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for . While #
 Your Bladder Is Troubling You

When you wake up with backachs and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well-knoWn authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; remov- ing all the body's urinous waste. else you have backache, sick headache,
 dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
 tongue is coated, and when the wealth CT is bad you have rheumatic twingeE.
 The urine is cloudy, full of sediment
 channels often get sore, water scaldS
 and you are obliged to seek relief two
 or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of JaH Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act | fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and <! stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
 neutralize acids in the urine so it no | longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 i lad Salts is a life saver for regular i meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot 1 injure, and makes a delightful, effer-
 vescent lithia water drink.

Clarke, chairman of the Victory Liberty loan committee, who have in hand the arrangements regarding the visit to New London of the captured German submarine U-111, have been notified by Capt Frederick L. Oliver that he will look after the arrange ments for the reception of this vessel in that port.
 As naval officer i'll charge of the New London naval base he assumes authority over every naval vessel as soon as it enters the port, and so in the case of this submarine. He will arrange to place a pilot aboard the submarine in the outer harbor and he will see that it is moored to the mu- nicipal wharf, where the public will be privileged to inspect at at hours to be announced.
 Captain Oliver has also advised the mayor and MT. Clarke that he will also lock after the feeding and the sleep ing accommodat tions of the crew.
 The submarine is due to arrive at New London on the evening of May g and will be exhibited on the 10th. As the drive for the Victory loan ends or the 10th of May, it is quite likely that the submarine will remain instead o1 proceeding to other ports for her ob- ject in being taken to various ports was to stimulate bond buying. Whel she leaves the municipal wharf sht will be taken to the naval base doWl { the river and naval men will inspec her closely to determine her construc 1 tion.

 Half dozen windows along the Chestnut avenue side of the building were smashed in anr four lines of hose run in through the door and windows, pouring flood of water on the blaz- ing cotton in bales and loose on the floor. The fire inside the building was quickly subdued, but the roof had to be chopped up in places to get at the blaze in spots difficult to reach.
 Dense smoke that followed the first
 flash of flame drove all the empoyes out in hurry and filled the adjoining streets at first, driving back the crowd there choking for breath.
 Morris Sussman, general manager of the company. was not at the building when the fire started but arrived soon afterwards and jumped into the build ing through a Winuow.
