pie overlook the fact that the sena.

respective districts has an equal
voice in their nomination.
The above is from the Wheeling
News which, like nearly all the
papers of the cities, does not look
with favor upon the proposition to
give each county state senator.
No doubt the question is one with
more than one side, but 1t may not
be so idiotic as the News would
have the people believe. 1t is not
thought idiotic for Rhode Island
and other small states to have as
many United States senators as do
New York, Pennsylvania and
other large states. Possibly the

same class the senate is certainly
already large enough and might be
reduced in size to an ADVANTAGE TO

Talented Young Sister Essays Name ! Part in 'sPolIy of the Circus"
 Again Tonight

Edith Ta,iaferro. charming and in genous. looking enough Ike her equal ly charming sister to be called her twin. scored a personal success last night in the opening performance of the second engagement of Polly of the Circus, Margaret Mayo's pretty comedy drama of the circus arena Miss Mayo's story lost none of its po- etic beauty. nor Its quaintIy pretty pastoral atmosphere in it's production with the second Miss TaI,aferro in the name rart As for it's scenic equip ment. 1t was the same as acconrpan- jed the first presentation. a marvel of stage carpentry and the scenic decora- tion.
 Miss Mayo has brought from the realm of tanbark and sawdust to the footllghts the indescribable thrill and charm that accompany circus life. Spectators thus enjoy both the diver sion of the playhouse and the thrill of the hippodrome as they watch the progress of the enthralling drama.
 Polly's nishap. her meeting with the rural clergyman. and the progress of her pretty romance. the return to the circus. and her choice between the de- lights of dom restic bliss in the country and the Vaccinations of the circus life in favor of the former. are depleted with rare fcel'ty to realism.
 Miss Taliaferro is assisted by Fran cis D. McGunn as Big Jim'. Edward Poland as Uncle Toby. Flank Green Tn the role of Rev. John Douglas. and Weffline and Mattfe Ferguson in their familiar roles. The engag cement con- cludes with afternoon and evening per- formances today.

 Here of Boston Symphony. To the E1itor of the Farmer:
 Sir-It Is pleasing to note that the advance sale Of seats for the Boston Symphony Orchestra concert has been very large. The coming of this or chestra to Bridgeport is the musical event of the year. and Bridgeport ap- preciates this fact. It hes sometimes been said that Bridgeport does not ap- p-eciate good music and good art, but this Is a m staken impression. as has beer proved by the very successful concerts os the Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club.
 The Boston Symphony Orchestra are Tn a class by themselves. There are great orchestras in New York, Pitts burg. Chicago. etc. but there is only one Boston Symphony. every member of which-is an artist. and which plays to produce the effect of one great in strument. Many Bridgeport people appreciate this to the extent of going to New York to many of the concerts of this great organization. These concerts are looked upon as the most artistic that can be heard in New Yol k during the season.
 The program is particularly attrac- tive and Is one which Is not beyond the range of ordinary musical capacity. The great Tschaikowsky Symphony

 There are many thousands of peo-- pc who are the unfortunate possess DTS Of offensive and obnoxious breath, which has its origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh, or an unhealthy condition of the stomach, or decay of the teeth. and when these persons re-. alize they are the victims of such an undesirable possession, they frequent ly feel constrained to remain off to themselves the greater part of the time, because they understand only too well how disag agreeable it must be to others with whom they. come in contact
 For it is an undeniable fact that people will comment on. and criticise the person whose breath is foul and offensive. Very frequently we hear the comment, 'So-and-so is a most agreeable companion; an interesting talker. with a large fund of informa- ton; is wel1-posted on world-history and the biographies of mny cele- brities; can talk f1uen-ly on current topics; is an accomplished musician, and Hterateur; and would be a most desirable addition to any social gath ering, except for the deplorabie fact that his or her breath is so extremely offensive, that persons of refinement. good breeding and delicate sensibilf- ties do not care to come into contact with them"
 And very naturally, too. for an obs noxious breath taints the very atmos- phere, and affects the persons sur rounding the affected one in way which is positively nauseating.
 There is no longer any excuse TOT a person, however, foul and offensive their breath may be. of inficting it's ohnoxieusness upon the delicate nos trils and olfactory nerves Of others.
