Silent for Years One Woman
 Now Sings for Joy :.

:: The specialists who have charge of the introduction in Bridgeport of the remarkable new tonic, called "Tona Vita" had busy day yesterday. A steaoy stream of callers visited the Jennie Hamilton Pharmacy, to wit ness the "fve-minute demonstration and secure trial of the preparation
 This is only the beginning, said one of the specialists, "during the next two weeks we expect to meet a great many people at this store, as many more are coming every day. During the rest of this week we will continue to let callers have a free trial of the medicine, but this will not be necessary after this week.
 Any man or woman in Bridgeport who is victim of nervous-delibilty Is making a grave mistake if they do not try this medicine. Tn the first niace. if it does not restore them to health it costs nothing, and it is cer- ta inlv worth the trouble to come and get the tonic when 1t means constant poor health if they don't The symp- ton's of nervous debility are oten m S. taken for something else, stomach +s hle as rule. but there is no mis- taking debility for anything else by =, SC who understand it. The fol- lowing symptoms are characteristic of h's trouble and bowel trouble, weak back with dull pains at the base of me g me. In6SG are all unm1SCakaDle symptoms of nervous debility. and there are thousands of people, espec- tally in the larger cities, who are af- f1icted.
 "'Tona Vita will act in such cases like a true specific. From the first moment the medicine is taken inn provement is rapid. A dozen people who started taking the tonic last W eek told Us today that they are like differ ent individuals. One woman told me she had not had a happy moment, but had been so depressed Tn spirits that she had not done so for several years. She told me she had been singing while attending her household duties during the last few days, IS she had not done since she was a girl"
 A trial is all that is necessary to prove to an individual suffering from nervous debility that this woman had good cause for singing. Eliminating debility from the system is like lift ing weight from the heart, and cloud from the brain. s The specialists will meet all callers daily at the Jennie Hamilton Phar- macy and explain to them the nature of their new preparation.
 Our preparation acts like a true specific in all cases of debility. re- pairing all organic weakness, whether man or woman and proving a lasting source of benefit and relief. When buoyant spirits return and depress1on gives away to cheerfulness, 1t is hard to recognize some of the former suf- fererS. r..'

Officers of the local typographical
union have received interesting book
let's from the technical education COM
mission OF the International organiza-
ton. The pamphlet exploits the edu-
cational work which that big labor un-
ion promotes. The instruction is given
by correspondence and inculcates the
principles hat underlfe good typo
graphy, which have been developed af-
ter many years of experimental work
by The Inland Printer. The course IL
endowed by the International Typo
graphical Union to such an extent that
it is sold tc students for less than the
actual cost of tuition. In the booklet
are specimens of work done by stu
dents before they took these lessons
and specimens OF the work they are do
ing now. The comparisons prove that
a compositor can benefit greatly by i'm
struction through correspondence.
There are also comments by students
some of them in the forties-that sub
stantiate what the book shows regard

If his constituents are willing to as

The truth is that, so far as Mr.
Cannon is concerned, things are not
as they have been. Before the days

the house organization. Mr.. Cannon

HOPS WILL EMPLOY
BIG PICKING FORCE
Yakima Crop viii Be Over Two
Million Pounds and the Pick
price Will Be &c Per Pound

Hop picking will be general this
week In the various growing districts
of Europe and throughout the more
southern portion of the United
States Picking in the Yakima val
ley will be deferred until about Sep
TENDER LIST, but after that date will
be general in this valley. The esti-
mate Of the production OF hops in this
portion of the state this season is Of
about $4,000 bales within an area Of
approximately 1900 acres devoted to
the crop. The bales weigh 200
pounds and the picking price will be
four cents a pound. At least that is
now expected to be the picking price.
lion pounds of hops will therefore
place in circulation for picking money
alone nearly 100000. Harvesting
the crop will not require as large a
force OF workers as was the case a
few years ago as then the acreage
was twice as large as at present 1t

large number of people and should
materially help the general situation
in the town and vicinity.
