 Now Is the Time
 and Bridgeport is the place for all who want to enjoy great city spectacle to firmly resolve to attend the annual masquerade ball of the Schwaebischer Maennerchor to be held in Eagles hall cn Jan. 25, as it will surely be the greatest spectacle ever witnessed in this city. It will be a real New York masquerade ball in Bridgeport as is shown by all the preparations now un- der way for it.

The tableaux from seTann1lauser'' and the marches and evolutions of the members of the so- ciety clad in elegent costumes will alone be we'll worth witnessing.

The American Excess
 Of Good Living
The Principal Cause of the Great Pre- vaIence of Indigestion and
 Dyspepsia
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free

Man inhabits every part of the globe where external influences can be successfully resisted Food is an important element in effecting this, and nature has provided for it accord ingly. The colder the climate the more animal food and oily substances are required; the warmer a prepon- derance of vegetables and fruits is necessary in ones diet.
 The whale-b1ubber of the fur-clad Eskimo, and the rice of the nude African, are as much necessities of To- cality. as matters of choice. The same indications exist in civilization. Thus, the diet in America and England is essentially different from that in Italy, Spain and Egypt.
 The effects of universal communi- cation are nowhere more obvious than on the luxurious table. To furnish the refined cuisine, all climates, both |sea and land, are laid under contri- button, and the stomach is expected to digest. without assistance everything that is put into it. Combining togeth- CT such varied products, and the neg lect of the relation between climate and foods, are very active causes of dyspepsia.
 The heavy substantial dishes of this climate accord badly with the ther- mometer at ninety degrees; and an in- |fiexibility in regulating the kind and quantity of food is a cause of a large proportion of the i'll health and stom- ach troubles among the English and Americans.
 Thousands of people who have suf- fered from stomach troubles. and a general ill-health resulting therefrom, because of a badly regulated diet, and the indigesting of an excessive amount of food at the table, have obtained |speedy and permanent relief by means of simple expedient-that If using one or two of STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS after each meal, or when ever any of the well known symptoms of indigestion are present.
 These powerful digestive tablets contain every element that exists in the stomach to digest the food, and in the exact proportion as found there- in. They take the place of the natur- al digestive juices when the latter are deficient in quality or quantity. and do their work for them, rem owing the indigestion by dieesting the food, and resting, strenethening and purifying the digestive tract.
 There is no other digestive remedy on the market which has been found equal to Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; none which is so rapidly and power fully efficient. or which removes dis comfort, banisT1es stomac ach-pain, and relieves and cures all of the symptoms of dyspepsia and indigestion in so thorouph and pleasant a manner as these marvellous little tablets. sinele grain of which is capable of digest ing 900 grains of any and every kind of food.
 All persons who are annoyed with stomach trouhles of anv kind should use Stuart's Dvsnepsia Tablets, which will remove such troubles in a very short tirne. Purchase a box from vour druggist. and send us nerre and address for free sample. Address F. A. Stuart Go. 150 Stuart Building, Hro~~I>ol1 W;oE>

FOX IN THICK OF
 ENGLISH CAMPAIG.
FATHER OF CORRUPT PRAC-
 TICIzs ACT SPOKE FREQUENT LY FOR THE LIBERALS.

George L. Fox. of New Haven, fath- CT of the Corrupt Practices Act, put in some heavy work for the Liberals in the political campaign just closed in England for the election of mem hers of parliament, according to a letter from Mr. Fox to the Journal Courier and also from newspaper ex- tracts just received from England MT. Fox when he got into the fight did not spare the Tories one particle and hammered their arguments against Lloyds- Georges budget with out mercy
 At one meeting in Wolverton he was accorded a great reception. His address was frequently interrupted with cries of linear, hear,'' and ap- plAuse. The British voter has not re- scented his intrusion as an American into the campaign. Mir. Fox's efforts have been directed to show that the Lloyds- George budget is not socialistic but, in so far as land taxation par ticu1arly is concerned, simply an adoption of the Canadian and Ameri- can system. MT. Fox considers that the British system of heckling might be introduced in America with advan- tage.
