Armand Giannecchini, Frank Ca tania and George Gori of New York city are being held under bonds of $500 apiece for appearance in the Berlin town court this evening to answer to a charge of transporting liquor, as a result of the seizure of 20 barrels of alcohol, one of the biggest hauls yet made on the turn pike by the state and local police.
 State Policeman Walter Lenehan, shortly after s, o'clock last evening, noticed a truck coming along the turnpike in the direction of Hart ford. It was speeding along at about 3S miles an hour and the policeman stopped the driver, who was Gian- necchini, and arrested him for reck- less driving. He was taken into the court room, as the truck was stopped near the Town hall. and was fined s3S and casts by Judge George Griswold.
 Apparently the policemen became suspicious that the, truck contained more than furniture, bed spring and a couch being tied to the rear, giv- ing the vehicle the appearance of a moving van. The officer expressed his desire to see the. contents of the truck and the three men objected.
 A search warrant was secured and Officer Lenehan, with Constable Frank Brown, looked into the truck, finding the alcohol. The men were taken to the New Britain police station, where they were locked up

TAKE SALTS IF
 RHEUMATISM IS
 B07HER|NG YOU
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
 Salts to Get Rid of Toxic Acid,

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and above all, drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It Is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast 1t out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this toxic acid, which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts: put a table spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neu- tralize acidity. remove waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
