EC BKTOGEPOBX TO CAKES OF TIJEEROULOSIB SUFFERERS Former State Tuberculosis Commis sioner John F. O-unshannon yesterday nade public a letter he had received from a former resident of this city. In which the inadequate facilities of ft he city of Bridgeport for combat- Ing tuberculosis were roundly scor- ied. Special criticism was pointed to irwards the location of the dispensary, Wituated upon the third, or attic floor iof the Charities building, the char- ktablenees of Bridgeport towards un fortunate -victims of the white plague Jwas adversely commented upon and Ian unfavorable comparison, of this Mlty with Wilmington, Del., was made, f nTommii8ioner Gunshannon Dcint- d out a remedy in the organization of emiMoyes relief societies in local fac tories, as was being- successfully con ducted in New Haven . and other . cit ies. Under this system it was the .--belief of the former tuberculosis ofli- Vcer that spread of the disease would foe cheeked and many Incipient cases pcured in their preliminary stages.

CourUaiul t, j PUBLIC IS WARNED AGAINST DRUGS IN "FREE" MEDICINES Washington, Nov. 19. Investigation by the department of agriculture has uncovered a new tricK by patent med icine venders and the department to day issued s- warning to the public against placing credence in advertise ments which phllanthropically offer to send sufferers ; Jree .prescriptions that will prove panaceas for whatever is ailing them. In each case, the department inves tigators discovered the principal in gredient of the cure to be a drug all prescriptions were for some patent or proprietary drug, - which, if the com pounder did not have in stock, he was compelled to buy at a high price. "The B-overnment cannot reach these people under either the food and drugs act or the postal lawe," the depart ment adds, "because the scheme is so planned as to evade government laws. The deception and misrepresentation appear in " v dvertieements, circulars, letters, etc., separate from the pack ages and the medicines are sent through the mails. The best the de partment can do, therefore, is to warn the people to 'be particularly suspi cious of those who spend money for advertising space, postage and letter writing, seemingly out of their- love for humanity' "In all of these cases there Is a profit-making-, echeme back ot the seeming philanthropy." New Rector Chosen For Olive!

"THK SINS OB THE j ' FATHER" FUSE DRAMA Thomas Dixon's T vastest Drama Southland lis Well Received. of Strong in plot, mannerisms and presentation, "The Sins of the Fath er," at the Park theatre last night, proved to be of more than ordinary interest. The curtain is drawn aside om some details of home and political life in the Old South in a manner of compelling attraction, There is a small cast with each member com petent, and all combining to make a well balanced production, A strong study in human nature, a love story of merit and opportunities for hig-h-clasa dramatic work join in preventing any lagging of interest. The' play is every bit as strong as "The Clansman," and is an improve ment, dramatically speaking, over that drama, Hal Castle as Major Daniel Norton, seems to live his part as a fiery old southern olitielan an dgentleman. Ah indiscretion of youth hangs like a pall when he sees his son fall in love, win and finally marry the girl, whom he believes, to be his daughter and sis ter to the boy. He tries to prevent it without disclosing the secret, and here comes some of the best acting of the production. All turns out well how ver, as the girl is found to have been adopted and palmed oif on him for a daughter all those years. Andrew Roger, as Tom Norton, -the son, has a difficult role as doesCath erine Casgriff, the ward of the Major and "the woman in tne case." True lover never runs smoothly and this applies in this case. But,, like the old fairy tales, there is a happy ending and the sun of- the southland again shines over the brave men and fair woman, typical of tales f adventure in that historic section. Advice is mighty poor consolation to a man who- needs breakfast. SCALP SPECIALIST Special Treatment for .Oily Hair - Manicuring HARRIET EX SHKKWOOD, . 412 Security Building. I '.

Li E v Trie one sale of the year when merchandise for man, woman and child is offered at Sensationally Low Prices Outfitter il I I L'CEHSES ASKED FOR TWO SALOONS AT THE CENTER One Application wow Before the Com. mlssloners And Another Will Come in letter. (Special to The Farmer.) Stratford, Nov. 19 The application for a license to sell liquor at the Cen ter marks the end of an era which has been remarked by everyone who has visited Stratford. Contrary to the settled policy in this state to locate saloons in the business portion of the different towns where, if they are of any benefit, they will do the most good, a saloon at the center of Strat ford has always been so fiercely op posed that no licenses have been granted. It has recently dawned up on the people of the town that a sa loon in the center of the town where It can be under constant surveillanoe offers opportunities for much less evil than the road houses which have tak en Stratford's quota of licenses for the last decide. James A. McGuin- ness, whose application is now before the county commissioners, conducted the Opera House Cafe on Fairfield avenue for years without a complaint for violation of the law. He is about as good a man as could be chosen to run a place In particular old Strat ford., Even those who have been op posed to all liquor selling in the town now expressing- themselves in favor of a saloon at the center rather than out in the bushes if there must be saloons in the town. The case of the proprietors of Trav is Inn for violation of the liquor laws will be tried before Justice Polley this evening at 7 o'clock. Counsel for the defense will enter a demurrer which the Justice will overrule. The case will then be appealed to the superior court. . A strong effort will be made to :- save the -license for the Inn but there is little public sentiment in favor of it.

The work 'of rip ping up the old tracks began Monday morningr and cars were running on the new steel yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. Lesseys father and an cestors for generations owned the farm now known as Columbus farm at Peck's mill and owned by the estate of George O. Lines. Selectman James. LaMy is continu ing his good work on two bad roads which has given cause for much com plaint. He has taken three feet from the top of Boothe street at Johnson avenue and has widened the roadway, making an easy grade from Nichols avenue. It will now be possible to get a ton of coal or a load of lumber to places in this vicinity without mak ing the wide detour around Nichols avenue. . Peace and Graham streets have been complained of at every town meeting. The town .finally" ap propriated $1,500 to drain and fix up the territory which is now being done. There is a rumor that an applica tion will be made for a saloon to occupy one of the buildings on the east side of Main street. If such proves true and the county commis sioners decide favorably the town will have two saloons in tne center.
