BERLIN HELD TIGHT
 IN GRIP OF STORM Town Stays at Home During
 Heavy Fall Of Snow
 ALL TRAFFIC IMPEDED
Kensington Man Injured By "Hit and Run' Drivcr-Boys' Club Wins County '. Swimming Meet St. Paul Tabs Elect Officers.

Berlin speni today digging itself out of drifts that surrounded and swamped the town in blanket of snow. Recoried as the earliest heavy fall in several years, the wind and .hc sand-lkc snow combined to make it one of the most smothering storms th1t has visited this town.
 Unexpected as it was, the snow begun tc sauntcr down at about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, with no indications of what was to follow. As the fall increased, Wnd sprang up and ctmbined with the exceedingly cold weather which ushered in the storm the day proved difficult to those who ventured abroad.
 Church attendances suffered and by room few pedestrians were seen. Buses began to run late and several automobiles skidded into ditches and drivers sent out calls for help to the garages Drifts began to pile up in the wind-swept places and as eve ming arrived with no signs of let up, Berlin prepared to entrench for a. repetition of 1888. Traffic ceased altogether early in the afternoon with the exception Of few wander CTS and the bussos which tried desperately to keep on schedule and which slowly but surely lost more and nor. time between this place and New Britain until it was case of getting through when one could and forgetting the timetable. Extra husscs wre added to the run as the yellow elephants floundered in the drifts which lined the roads.
 The evening services of the towns churches opened to a depleted at tendane, few leaving their homes.
 This morning found the town un- der approximately seven inches of snow with drifts approaching six feet al some gullies. The bus sched- ule WIS wrecked beyond repair and the company installed a trolley to run between the station and New Britsin. Busses averaged IS min utes late and the Mcriden bus was found trailing the. Berlin bus on scy'ral occasions. School children wee called out to school at the reg ular time this morning and reports slow that the attendance equalled rormal weather attendance when Gln roll was called.
 No serious accidents were re- ported as result of the storm yes terday with the exception of the Berlin gasoline train leaving the rails with its front truck. As the rear truck stuck to the rails no great damage was done and the few occu- pants in the vehicle received only q mild shalline m. A w~ccking crew replaced the front trucks on the rails and the train made the return trip to New Britain with a relay of only 20 minutes. Officials lay the blame to packed snow on the rails which thew the truck from its path. The accident occurred about II o'clock last night and there were few pas senger5 in tho ear at the time.

lTALIAN-BRITISH DEBT
 TERMS MEET OBSTACLE
Chances Of Reaching an Agreement This Week Do Not Appear
 Very Good.

London. Jan. q R)-Tho chances of an agreement on the funding of the Italian debt to Great Britain this weekend are unfavorabc, according to British circles. Chancellor of the EXcheQuor Churchill and Finance Minister Count Nolpi will resume their talks tomorrow without having made any progress toward solution of tho difficulty during the two days of discussion with their respective governments.
 It is understood that the Italians arc offering an amount somewhere abont I3,J00,0 ($1G,975,00O) an uually, which represents better terms than any they got from Washington. Against this the British are said to be asking payment of about E7,500,- 600 ($3G,375,000) over q period Of G. years, which represents about t4G5,oo0,000 Of Italy's admitted debt Of lJ92,ooo,000 ($2,S7l,200,O00).
 Tho British cabinet has met and supported the chancellors stand, which has caused the unofficial statement that the Italians may find it necessary to return to Romo for further instructions without reaching even a tentative agreement.

Painful Rheumatic
 Swe||ings Disappear
Di>covcrcr Tells Druggist Not 10 Take n Cent Of Anyonc's Money Unless Allcnrhu Completely Ban isheS All Rheumatic Pains and TWIngCS.

Jamos II. Allen. of ?6 Forbes St., Rochester, N. r.. suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work.
 He finally decided. after years of ccaseless study. that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities. commonly called uric acid deposits, were dis solved in the joints and muscles and expelled from tho body.
 With this idea in mind he con- suited physicians. made cxperi- ments and finally compounded < prescription that quickly and com pletely banished every sign and symptom Of rheumatism from his system,
 He freely gave his discovery, which he called NLESRHU. to others who took it, with what might be called marvellous success. After years Of urging he decided 10 let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore inc structed the Fair Drug Dept. and druggists everywhere to dispense ALLENRHU with the understand ing that if the first pint bottle does not show the way 10 complete re. eovery he will gladly return youf money without comment.
