In the old countries of northern Europe, whence the hardest sons and daughters come, Johann Hoff's Extract has been used by nursing mothers for over half century. Nothing equals it in simplicity of action or in certainty of good results. American mothers would do we'll to understand how easy it is to get the help they need for the drains upon their strength.
 Healthy women are few in these days of strenuous living, overwork, worry, household cares, society duties, one or more which falls to the lot of every woman, make inroads upon the female constitution that are bound to result in serious trouble unless guarded against.
 It is much more important that worn- en should safeguard their health than it is for the other sex; first, because their organization is more delicate, and second, because on them depends the health of future generations.
 A wineglassful of Johann Hoff's Ex- tract taken regularly with meals is the best health insurancea woman can have.
 Insist upon Johann Hoff's Extract and take none of the cheap substitutes offered as "just as good" They have nothing but their cheapness to recor,- mend them. EISNER & MENDEL- SON CO.,, Sole Agents, New York.

ENTERT4TFM EN1S.
Hyperion Theater. "QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER"


 "Quincy Adams Sawyer in play form will be welcomed again at the Hyperion, where it plays a return date next Friday night It is play of New England home life. full of all the feet ings and sentiments that are natural to such life. The young man from whom the book and the play have their titles is wealthy young Boston lawyer who goes into the country for his health He finds a beautiful woman, blind girl, who wins his love- and their courtship and devotion is very beautiful. The play is full of unique and interesting characters. The scenic equipment is a most elaborate one, all built specially for this production, which competent critics have predicted will easily rival the success of any New England play ever presented. This engagement will attract more than ordinary interest be- cause of the great success of the fla nous novel of the same name, from which the play is taken. Seats now on sale. Prices $1, 75c, soc, 35c, 25c.
 Soldiers of Fortune" in which Rob ert Edeson will appear at the Hyperion theater next Monday night, under the direction of Henry B, Harris, presents among it's characters several claimants for the title of the story. There are Robert Clay, to be played by Mir Ede- son, an American civil engineer, who has built bridges in Mexico, fought un- der the French flag in Algiers, and herded cattle in Colorado; MacWil- Hams, his confidential adviser, an Amer ican soldier of fortune, ''who has not seen home for ten years" and Captain Burke, an Irish adventurer, who pro- notes revolutions of the sort often met with in South America and the West Indies. These types so well created by Richard Harding Davis, have lost none of their picturesque realism and virili- ty in the dramatization sponsored by Augustus Thomas. The engagement here is for three nights.
 An attractive feature of Under Southern Skies" which will be present. ed at the Hyperion on Friday night, February 21, with Grace George in the leading role, is the Halloween party, The Jack o-Lantern dance and the Hal lowe'en tricks have never before been done on the stage, and they are receiv- ed by the audience with great applause and laughter.

Although somewhat early the general committee of arrangements for the sev- enty-third annual ball to be given by the National Blues at the Second Reg iment armory on the night of Washing toms birthday have matters very well in hand, and it is certain that their in- tention to have this ball surpass all others in every respect will be realized.

 The Rentz-Santley Novelty and Bur lesque company will be at the Grand | the last three days this week with mat ] inee Saturday. The Bridgeport Stand ard says of the production: The Rentz- Santley company of vaudeville artists entertained large audience at the Park City theater for nearly three hours last evening with a programee which included one-act farce, a satire and an olio of the usual vaudeville stunts, such as "coon" songs, dancing parodies and juggling. All of the acts were eminently satisfactory, if applause is a criterion, and the indications point to a large attendance this and to-mor- row evenings and tomorrow afternoon. The entertainment opens with a farce entitled When Your Wife's Away" the general trend of which may be guessed from the title. It was well done, and as part of the jolly time that was enjoyed during the absence of the
 
 of the F'lorodora seXtet song and dance which was enthusiastically encored. Sadie Leonard sang all the latest mu- sical epilepsifs, commonly called coon songs, and her athletic rendition pleas ed all. A clever juggling act was given by one Lyons, and Daisy Dumont sang a number of songs on the order of the Take Back Your Gold'' and "Only a Babys Shoe" spasms. Charles Robin son gave a number of impersonations which made hit, and there were sev- eral teams that gave clever specialties The performance will be repeated this and tomorrow evenings, with a mati- nee tomorrow. The company has been coming to Bridgeport for several years, and it retains its original popularity with the people here.
 There are few who will not take ad- vantage of the opportunity to see Charles w. Chases version of Marie Corellis well known novel "Thelma,' which will be presented at the Grand on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of newt week by Alden Benedict's ex- cellent company. The snowstor mscene is wildly realistic, and the death of the Viking on the burning ship is said to be one of the strongest situations ever witnessed. Matinee Wednesday.

Messrs Eisner & Mendelson Co. am prompted to hand you herewith photograph of a baby whose physical condition is due to the use of Johann Hoff' Extract given to the mother dur ing lactation.
 During the nursing of her first born, the mother was so completely pros trated, because of the drain on her sys- tenn, that it was with difficulty that either mother or child was saved. Dur ing this last lactation, the mothers con- dition remained good. The photograph shows condition of child at the age of four months and five days.
 c. G. McManaway. M. D. What a constant drain upon her strength the nursing mother sustains How vitally important is robust health important to mother and important to child. tE
 Is there any time in a woman's life, when perfect digestion is so absolutely essential?
 The peculiar fitness of Johann Hoff' S Extract for sustaining a anursing mother S strength is well known.
