'Tor three years, I was troubled
with Constipation, accompanied by
Dizziness and Violent Headaches.
I took medicines and laxatives, but
without permanent relief.
Last October, I heard of "Frult-a-tivcs"

used one box and the results were so
pronounced that I bought two dozen
boxes.
I continued using "Fruit-a-tives"

Japanese" Youth
Enters U. S. Army
It la well known that, during the
recent days of draft registration,
there were many aliens who refused
Jto claim exemption on the ground of
their nationality. One of the most
' Interesting cases is that of a Japanese
I resident of California, who is now a
private In a machine gun company at
Camp Lewis, Washington. Al
though not a citizen, he was satisfied
to enter .the National Army with the
double aim of fighting German au
I tocracy and winning American citi
zenship. , In a style somewhat reminiscent of
(Wallace Irwin's famous' Japanese
'schoolboy correspondent, he writes:
, "I became American soldier since
iAug. SO. This is rather astonishing
I nsws to you. As you know, this gov
ernment required registration of al
I male population for recruiting, both
natives and aliens. Any Japanese
I who registers stating he will fight fo
'Japanese government is exempted
! from military service here. But
; when I registered last year, I could
j not say so. It may sound queer for
Japanese to enter the American army,
'Jbut is not Japanese government tight
ling against Germany? My enlistment
: here can bring same effect as my ser
: vice in Japanese army. If I say 1
i would rather enter Japanese army, it
would not be so pleasing to American
i But on the other hand, if I answered
1 1 am willing to fight with them, does
B aot give them satisfaction? I am
! unmarried; hence I will be a U. s- clt-
izen If allowed: first showing f am
' worthy of it. by fighting for them.
The writer also expresses high
,' praise of the way in which the United
States government takes care of the
families of its soldiers. Stating that he
hopes to be in France by December,
he concludes: "There may be dan
ger, hut nertalnlv also pleasure. We
must die anyway sooner or later,
me die for some just cause."

STREET AND ORPHANAGE
NAMED FOR PRESIDENT
Lucca, Italy, Nov. 8 An ancient
thoroughfare which for four hundred
years has encircled this city on top
of the Lucca wall has been officially
renamed as Boulevard Presidente
Wilson," in recognition of American
aid extended to Italy in the war. The
boulevard is so wide that twelve
horses can be driven abreast in it.
' The fortification beneath it was built
when Lucca was the capital of a
feudal duchy and has been a famous
relic for centuries.
On the same day an American Red
Cross orphanage, also built on top of
the great Lucca wall, was dedicated.
This curious site was selected for lack
of an available location in the town.
The building is a cunning adaptation
!of the Luccan style, painted to con
form with the wall and set with an
cient panels and Latin mottoes. The
orphanage was erected by the Ameri
can Red Cross in fifty days to house
a group of soldiers' children orphan
ed during the war.
AUTUMN.
When every leaf has different hue
And flames of birch tree blow;
And high against November blue
?The white cloud's bent in bow;
When droning thresher hums its song
And tale of harvest proves,
And rusty steers the lane-ways throng.
And grey birds flit in droves;
Then birds, and beast, and every tree
And those few flowers that blow,
Do seem such treasure loves to me
Who would no winter know!

HAVE GERMANS
ADOPTED NEW
GOVERNMENT?
If Claims Made Are True It
Is One of Greatest Revo
lutions in History.
Germany claims to have democra
tized its government. If so, one of
the greatest revolutions of history has
taken place over night. The mighti
est despotism the world ever saw,
suddenly disappears. In its place we
have a democratic monarohy, con
forming to President ; Wilson' de
mands. It takes a shell game artist
at a "county fair to do anything so
neat.
Great revolutions like these, if au
thentic, are attested by indisputable
evidence. Any constitutional change
in the United States Is the subject of
long debate in public assembly, and
is finally agreed to by vote attested
and put on record by the lawful au
thorities. English liberties date back
to Magna Charta. You can find an
original copy of it in Lincoln cathe
dral today.
When has any proclamation of ab
dication of his imperial power been
made by Emperor William II of Ger
many? Under the German consti
tution, he has the power of making
'defensive war." As he can set up
the claim that any war is "dtefensive,"
tnis practically gives mm tne ngnt
to make war anytime he wants to.
Where and when has he abdicated
this power? Let him come forward
and present a signed proclamation
giving up the right.
Under the German constitution, the
Federil Council can authorize the
Kaiser to make an "offensive war.
As this body does not represent the
people, the Council must formally by
attested vote renounce this right, be
fore tbe first step toward democrati
zation has been made.
The claim set forth by the Ger
man government that it has placed
sovereign power in the hands of the
people is too transparent to deceive
a class of school children.
GREAT A I K EXTINCT.
SAY NATURALISTS.
Egp,s of any kind are expensive
enough nowadays, but those of th
great auk are so high and not oil
account of the war either that only
a millionaire could afford to buy a
dozen. Indeed, it is doubtful if
there are more than that many in
the world.
The great auk was a sea-fowl that
in .former days had its most impor
tant breeding place on a rock called
Funk Island, thirty-two miles off the
Newfoundland coast. Whalers pro
visioned their ships with the birds
which were so fat that they are said
'to have been utilized as fuel), and
) fishermen stole their eggs by whole
sale. In consequence of such depreda
tions the species became extinct
about seventy years ago, and today
to represent it there are only a few
stuffed specimens and skeletons in
museums. Also a few eggs, one o'
vhlch in 1859, fetched $90 at auction
Since then, however, they have gone
up. In 1882 one was sold for $550:
ar other egg, in 1895, was knocked
cVwn at $825. Four years later one
brought $1,500, and in 1900 the
price quoted for a specimen was $1,
678. ; .
The Smithsonian Institution pos
sesses an egg an 1 a harrelful of mis
cellaneous auk bor.es the latter col
lected by a scientific expedition which
it sent to Funk Island for- the pur
pese. One day a few years ago a scientist
cennected with the Smithsonian hap
vened to be in London and, passing a
toxidermist's shop, he saw a stuffed
great auk in the window. He nearly
dropped with astonishment.
But just as arrangements for its
purchase at a great price were or
the point of being completed, the dis
covery was made that the bird was a
"camouflage," made out of odds and
ends of ducks, geese anS1 other barn
yard fowls.

KEEP CONTRACTS HERE
Bradford D. Pierce, regional ad
visor for the Bridgeport branch of
the Resources and Conversion section
of the War Industries Board calls the
attention of Bridgeport manufacturers
to the lists of requirements for the
army and navy, which are received
daily at the office of the Chamber of
Commerce. Either Mr. Pierce or F.
Kingsbury Bull, secretary of the Sec
ond Regional division, will answer any
inquiries. Many contracts have been
let to out of town firms, when local
manufacturers were in a position to
do the work. Mr. Pierce urges local
firms to keep in touch with the office.
and to keep the government contracts
in this district as much as possible.

DESTROYER CREWS
LEAD EXCITING
LIVES AT SEA
On Board U. S. Destroyer, Ameri
can Port in France, Nov. 9 (Asso
ciated Press) Two days at sea, two
days In port; this is the sailor's life
week in and week out, day and night,
in the convoy service of " American
destroyers which has achieved such
marvelous results an army of two
million men, landed in Europe with
the loss of a few hundreds.
The destroyer fleet was just back
from the latest cruise as we went
aboard today. They had brought in
six big transports, including three
former German liners. Already ITie
soldiers were marching to camp, and
on board the destroyers things were
being made ship-shape for the brief
stay in port and then for the next
adventure out beyond the capes, for
with submarines off the port there
is ceaseless vigilance, with always the
chance of something happening, and
everyone on the tip-toe of expecta
tion. The reports brought back of the
last cruise were of the best. It had
been comparatively quiet' and the
transports had been brought through
without sign of a submar'ne. In fact
it was so promising the previous Sun
day that the commander of the fleet ,
remarked they were going to have a
quiet day.
Alarm Sounded
But at nine in the morning there
was an alarm, with all the gun and
torpedo crews springing to their posts
and after that four successive alarms
through this quiet day. though none
of the alarms developed into an ac
tual attack.. It showed, however, the
steady tension even when conditions
looked best, for it was known that
hostile craft had been lurking off
the beach rocks near the mouth of the
V.nV.nH ,1 Ann f ...... 1-, 1 r
snipe nau ueen a.Liuceu as it came
in a few weeks ago.
On the big destroyers the crew is
always on watch during a convoy.
There are lookouts in the crow's nest
high up on the foremast, far forward
at the tip of the bow, at port and
starboard, forward and aft. Besides
these there is the gun crew watch,
the depth charge watch, and the tor
pedo watch always on the qui vive for
the sound of the bell which calls
them into action. -

Bacteriologist Shows News

Specimens of Animal.
American Army . Laboratory,
France, Nov. 9 (Correspondence of
Associated Press) "This is the
cause of trench' fever," said the bac
teriologist as he opened a small met
al box about the size of a pill box
and disclosed three tiny germs lying
beneath bits of leaf. One of the par
ticles was so 'small a microscope was
needed to see it, but two others were
well decveloped and lively, one of
them lying on its back with its legs
up.
"They are thoroughbreds," he add
ed referring to the germs as though
they were high-bred race horses. The
thoroughbreds are kept for research
and experimental purposes, it was ex
plained. Thisspecie conveys trench
fever much as the mosquito, malaria
from one infested person to another.
But as these thoroughbreds had not
been in contact with infection they
could not convey it. They were there
fore harmless, so much so that they
were fed by being placed on the bac
teriologist's arm.
Rolling up his sleeve he showed
the pin .pricks where they had made
their last meal. -It was a harmless
abrasion, and thus the thoroughbreds
were kept for the continuing re
search which is clearing up this trou
blesome phase of army disease, trench
fever.
Bacteriological research is but one
of many branches of the extensive
research work being carried on here
by the Central Laboratory of the
American Army in Europe. It is a
very practical work, dealing with the
many new maladies coming from gas
attacks, gun shock, the subterranean
life in trenches, as well as the infin
ite variety of surgical problems grow
ing out of wounds from new and
deadly explosives.
Besides the scientific research it is
the great central institution for a cir
cle of smaller laboratories all through
the army zone, with Specialists ready
to go to any point where an epidemic
or a case of unusual character de
velops. Besides, the trench fever microbe,
the' bacteriological laboratory had
countless other germs, of typhoid,
diptheria, malaria, dysentery, tuber
culosis and the whole range of mala
dies which find lodgment in an army.
The germ cultures are in long spind
ly bottles. They present a deadly ar
senal of disease germs which would
decimate a whole city if they were
unloosed.
A large oven of white enamel was
t one side of the laboratory, and
opening the door of the oven one saw
the germ cultures being developed to
full growth, much as chickens are de-
veloifbd in incubators. A mild heat,
always kept uniform, carries on the
work of germ ' growth. Soft cotton
was spread over the oven, and on this
lay thk cultures, some exposed and
some inv the long bottles, slowly ma
turing to the full grown state where
the full effect of their deadly prop
erties can be examined and studied.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NO
Well-known local druggist says every
body Is using old-time recipe of
Sag Tea and Sulphur.
Hair that loses its color asd lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men
who value that even color, that
beautiful dark shade of hair which
is so attractive, use only this old
time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of oth
er ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound," which dark
ens the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and givesit
an appearance" of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet" requisite
to impart color - and a youthful ap
pearance to the hair. It is not in
tended for the cur, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.- Adv.

Rheumatics should hail the news I

what J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga., says
about it: ,
."I had sciatic rheumatism for two
years, and tried every medicine offered
for rheumatism. Tried many doctors,
was treated at one of the best south
ern sanatoriums, and if I improved
any I did not realize it. I am a con
ductor on the Central of Georgia Reil
road, and had secured a pass to Hot
Springs, Ark., to tfike treatment. About
that.time I saw Rheuma advertised'!
and concluded to try It. I abandoned
' my trip, took three bottles, and now
feel as well as ever. I am going to
make everybody I see who has rheu
matism try it. I would not take a
hundred thousand dollars for what
Rheuma has done for me. I would
rather be dead than live as I was be

If you have rheumatism in any

people in Russia, Austria and Ger-
many,-and for the Americanization of
their fellow countrymen in America,
Polish leaders throughout the coun
try, and Bridgeport in particular, are
not letting the news of an early peace
and the fact that their people will be
freed stop their efforts.

jn America the necessity of becoming
good American citizens with a trade
or occupation that will help them and
their country, and above all loyalty
and patriotism to the land they have
adopted. The Polish Falcons of this
city are doing all this.
Organized In 1904
s f.or back as 1904 an organization
was perfected in Bridgeport which
.iiuentlv known as the Pol'sh
Falcons' Association. At that time
the association was established as -an
athletic club and meeting place for
the young Folanders who had come to
America. That was the outside ap
pearance of the organization. But
down in the bottom of every mem
ber's heart was the realization that
the organization was established
primarily to aid in gaining political
and religious freedom for Poland. It
was hard work to establish an organ
ization of this kind in America. The
Polish Falcons were originally, organ
ized in Europe and developed more
freely in Galicia than in either Ger
many or Russia. 'Because of perse
cution in all of these countries the
society took on the form of a secret
organization. The natinal emblem
of the country they were in was an
eagle different from the American
eagle. Therefore, in order to keep
their standing in their respectivt
countries, they took for their emblem
i the falcon, a bird resembling the
eagle in many ways. As a result wlin
their emblem was first noticed in Aus
tria it was not suspected that this
organization was one opposed to the
government and working for the free
dom of Poland. On seeing the em
blem the government took it for
granted that it was a patriotic or
ganization and it was many years be
fore they were suppressed.
The history of the Falcons In Eu
rope became known in America and
this was the cause of the many set
backs that confronted the leaders who
wanted to establish a strong organ
ization here. They were looked on
with suspicion.
Gradually, however, various organ
izations sprung up throughout the
United States and the first Polish 'Falcons-in
NeW England was established
here, by Felix Walterdorf, formerly of
this city.
They were only able to obtain a
few members, but under the leader

carnivals were held to obtain funds
for the purchase of supplies. These
funds were instrumental in the pur
chase of a building. Now in 1917 the
club was started, and small club

Education Replaces Athletics
Gradually came the realization that
they must work for their own build
ings, and in 1916, after many years if
struggling to maintain their organiza
tion, and during which time the ath
letic idea had been supplanted by the
educational one, and dramatic and
literary clubs formed, the property at
640 South Main street was purchased
Naugatuck railroad offices ami
renovated to be used as a club room
and school.
On January 1, 1917, the Polish
Falcon Trade school was established,
this idea having been planted in the
minds of the men who negotiated for
the purchase of the old railroad office .
building. The board of directors con.
sisted of Peter Knap, now president
of the organization; K. Krolikwinisky
and B. Ziolkowski, ail of this city.
In 1he early days, finances were at

Must Be Americans
But that was not all. These Polish
leaders demanded that the Polish peo
ple become good Americans. They
asked that they be grateful, loyal and
patriotic to the country that had given
them freedom, and had even given'
them the means of helping their op
pressed brothers in Europe. So a
class in civic was formed in addiUon
to the teaching of English to the Po
lish people. They were taught Amer
icanism. Frank Siara, of the American In
ternational College at Springfield,
Mass., who was one of the first in
structors of the trade school, took on
the added duties of teaching both Eng
lish and civics. His efforts were met
with laudable success, and today Mr.
Siara says that every member of the
Polish Falcons will be an American
citizen within a short time.
The trade school progressed rapidly.
Machinery was bought as fast as funds
could be obtained. Prof. Matuszko
witz of the Bridgeport Trade school,
a noted instructor in mechanical engi
neering, was obtained to teach the
young men of the school one evening
a week. Mr. Siara continued to teach
the trade school and the classes in
English and civioe.
Efforts were made to obtain more
machinery and E. P. Bullard of the
Bullard Machine Tool Co., announced
that he would not only help the Fal
cons out in the matter of machinery,
but would give the young men who
were at the school work to do, as?
when they had completed their courts
would see that they obtained employ
ment. STREET FIGHTING IN POLAND
