Only Five Other Governments Now Exceed New
 Nation

NEW YORK. April 24.-(By Asso- ciated Press. .)-The new republic of Poland, now in it's fifth year. has a population of 27,16o.163. and is the sixth nation in Europe, according to official information compiled by the Polish bureau of information
 Its population is exceeded only by Russia, Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy," the statement says. Poland has population as large as Denmark, Holland. Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland combined"
 warsaw's population is given as e41,oo0, Lodz 451.o0O. Lembers 21s,ooo, Cracow 1s1.0Oo. Posen 169,oo0, Wilma (estimated) 146,000.
 The republic has now been divided into 16 states or admlnistrative 4nits' called voyvodships. The city of War saw. however. as capital of the re- public, is distinct from any voyvod- ship.
 After struggling with various boundary disputes on all sides, and emerging victorious from war with Russia, Poland established her from tiers and then turned her attention to internal affairs.
 o O c
 Established In 1922.
 The first regular Polish Parliament came into being November 27, 1922, succeeded the constituent assembly that had been organized as an emer- gency governing body early in 1913. During its life. the assembly enacted more than 800 laws, including con- stitution providing for House Of Representative elected by universal equal suffrage, and a Senate elected in the same manner.
 Economy was another far reaching measure instituted by the new repub- lie During 1922 a reduction of 25.000 civilian employees was made in the various departments. Military affairs also were subjected to sweeping changes. A standing army of 25O,OOO was recommended, with compulsory military service of two years for all males reaching the age of 21.
 The republic demonstrated its sta bility in December. 1922, following g the assassination of President Naru- towicz, the first chief executive, after he had been in office but two days. In the absence of precedent, the lead CTS turned to the constitution for guidance. Four days after the assas- sination an election was held and a new President took office in accord ance with the expresseld will of the people.

cent of all the French shipments to America, good idea of the trade situation as it concerns France and the United States may be had from examining the Paris commercial bal ance sheets.
 Shipments of Gold.
 An extraordinary feature has been the shipment of gold. In 1921 this amounted to about 275,0OO,000 gold dollars. In 1922 it fell to under $50, GOO, 900 but February of this year indicates notable increase in the outflow of gold to America. The tainable. and people here are spec ulat!ng as to what interests are re- sponsble for the February increase. Some of it presumably reaches France from the Scandinavian coun- tries.
 American women have not lost their liking for the pretty things of France. for there has been an in crease in the shipments of silk wear ing apparel. both embroidered and plain, and in hardkerchiefs. laces and furs. Also America has in creased her takings of works of art more than 100 years old. and pre- cious stones and pearls, both imita- tion and real.
 Other American purchases in France include leather, cotton, cloth ing. artificial flowers. blocked or trimmed hats, musical instruments, silk, underwear and. knitted goods. A falling off in exportation of porce- lain and gloves from the Limoges district is due to the difficulty of finding skilled workers. Increased prices of raw material and labor have pushed the finished product up so high as to interfere with foreign sales despite the value of the franc, which is favorable to exportation.

Mary the 3d" Offering At Parsons Next Week

The Messrs. Shubcrt will present in
 association with Mary Kirkpatrick
 Rachel Brothers new play Mary the 3d." at Parsons theater Hartford, the first half of next week with popu-
 lar priced matinee on Wednesday. The Messrs. Shubert have already pre- sented two of Miss Crothers' dramas the same being "39 East" and "A
 Little Journey" both of which proved high ly successful. As is the custom
 of all of Miss Crothers' plays she has
 cast and is producing the same. The
 more important members of this com
 pany selected by Miss Crcthers are
 Louise HIG, Beatrice Terry, May Gal
 yer, Morgan Farley, George Howard,
 Ben Lyon, Grant Mackay and others. The first scene of Mary the Sd" is laid in 1870, the next in 1897 and the last at the present time. The Mary of each period will be impersonated by Louise Huff. Each of these Marys, grandmother, mother and daughter, are seen i'll the mating stage of each. You see Mary the 1st in 1870, snitch- ing young man away from another girl on the eve of his marriage; you see Mary the 2d going about choosing a mate in a more intelligent way, but just as indefinite about the action as Mary tie 1st. You see Mary the Sd willing to experiment in any way pos shie fer the proper choosing of her mate. It appears that it was Mary the 1st's idea that she could twist her husband around her little finger and make him think she was under his thumb the entire time"

LESS MEAT IF
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder Troubles
 You

No man or woman who eats toe | much meat can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally says
 a well-known authority. Big meat eating may develop uric acid, which
 excites the kidneys; they become
 oyerworked from the strain, get slug
 gish and fail to filter the waste and
 poisons from the blood: then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
 trouble. nervousness, dizziness. sleep mess and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys. or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy. offensive, full of sediment, irregular of psssa ge or attended by a sensation of scald- ing. stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast, and in few days your kidneys may 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 flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus often ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent Iithia water drink. which every one should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and ac- tive and the blood pure. thereby often avoiding serious kidney compli- cations.
