PROMINENT LADY
 RELATES STORY
Of Her Travels Abroad In Search of Health and
 Happiness

Interesting indeed are many of the statements made in connection with the introduction of the remarkable new tonic, "Tona Vita" that is being introduced in this city.
 among such statements is the fol- towing Interesting account of prom 1nent woman, whose name is tempor- arily withheld from publication by re- quest.
 Upon ordering medicine over the telephone it was delivered to her by one of the specialists, who was sent here to introduce ."Tona Vita"
 You see," she said, s'I have been suner1ng from complication of stom- acn trouble and nervousness. I have be to the sea shore and abroad, and nave been treated by several noted specialists cn stomach trouble and nervous. diseases. | was only reliev- ed temporarily, but since taking your medicine which consists of four bottles Of "Tona Vita and two of Lees Rhu- barb Laxative, I feel so good that ev- cry day seems like holiday to me.
 "One must suffer to appreciate life to it's fullest extent, and as have suffered most of my life, now that l am well again I enjoy life so much more."
 She is one of Bridgeport's wealthy society leaders. A prominent church worker, and gives very nberally to charity.
 She is so thankful over her recent recovery of good health that she paid for 50 bottles of 9'Tona Vita," which I have promised to distribute among the poor people who are suffering and can not afford to buy medicine.
 Many people seem to be amazed at the remarkable records which are made by the new remedy. Many cases of nervousness, stomach trouble and general breakdown of from ten to if teen years standing are reported to have been relieved in a very short time. The satisfaction that it has giv- 1en is truly gratifying in nearly every case.
 a Since the. introduction, '"Tona> Vita" appears to have been a much sought for article and it is due to the wide awake business methods displayed by Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, that the remedy can be found on sale in this city.
 We are meeting many callers who complain of nervousness, stomach and bowel trouble, headaches, backache, constipation, cold feet, imperfect di- gestion, spots before the eyes, tinidity, Iistlessness, sleeplessness, and depres- sion of spirits, all of which are cer- tain indications that they are suffer- ing with debility.
 From g a. m. to 6 p. m. the spec lallStS are meotlHS tuS puulIC dL 1 eA nie Hamilton's Pharmacy. Increas- ing interest marks each succeeding day of the introductory sale Nf this remarkable new tonic. Many visit ors from outlying districts come each day expressly for the purpose of pro- curing the tonic. :,
 Many Bridgeport people who feel worn out, half sick and depressed all the time, but who in reality do not know what is really the matter with them are professionally victims of this malady, "Nervous Debility" It is an all-too-common complaint in all the large cities, and it is therefore likely to be found existing in any family here.

ORDINANCE CREATING
 SUPPLY BOARD TO BE SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL
Proposed Measure Ordered Printed For Consideration
 of Aldermen

The committee on ordinances meet ing for the first time last night spent most of their session in consideration of a proposed ordinance framed by City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan, Attorney John s. Pullman who is to be Cullinan's successor Jan. l., AL derman R. G. DeForest the chairman of the Ordinance committee and A. E.. Macdonald, purchasing agent of the Crane O., new member of the board of apportionment and taxation. This is the ordinance having to do with the creation of a board of contract and supply, through which it is proposed to buy the bulk of the city's supplies.
 The ordinance proposes to give au- thority to the mayor with the ap- proval of the Council to designate three members of the board of ap- portionment, whose terms expire in successive years, to act as the board of contract and supply. The mayor is to exercise the power of removal a, any time. Removal from the board is the price of accepting anything to in- fluence the action of the recipient.
 The committee ordered copies of the draft printed for submission to the council at it's next meeting. Action will likely be deferred until a later meeting

Fire Board Has
 Ordered Another Big Fire Fighter

Another step toward completing Brfdgeport's equipment of automobile fire apparatus was taken by the Board of Fire Commissioners last night. when they voted to purchase six cylinder automobile and pumping en- zine from the Warehouse Engine Works company of St. Paul, Minn. This powerful all-gasoline vehicle will have one of the two new combination auto-c chemical and hose wagons as a tender The other combination chem ical and hose wagon will, be paired with the huge new automobile steam fire engine.
 By voting to purchase the Watrous engine last night, the board boldly grasped the horns of a dilemma that has been bothering it for some time. The price of the new piece of appar- atus is $10,000. The appropriation for it is only $S,500. This appropriation was made two years ago and has been carried along by the board while the question of which is the most suitable make of vehicle has been under in- vestigation.
 Owing to the number of expensive pnuematic tires required by the var ious vehicles of the department, the commissioners have decided to call for bids ,from various tire concerns for taking care of the tires.

HEBREWS WILL D. .DiCATE SACRED SCROLLS TOMORROW

Tomorrow at the synagogue of the Congregation Ahavas Achim in Cher ry street, a set of sacred scrolls will be dedicated according to the ancient orthodox rites. Rabbi M. Witten- stein will have charge of the dedica- tion ceremony. The scrools are the gift of Edward Beutch. They &con- tain the first five books of Moses written in Hebrew on parchment. The dedication takes on a new significance from the fact that it comes in the holiday season known as the feast of lights. It is expected that many He- brews from other congregations will attend. A luncheon will be served af- ter the dedication.

POLI'S.

''The Most Perfectly Formed Woman in the World"-that is a strong c aim to make but it is made in behalf of La Diva, the beautiful girl who ap- pears with John F. onroy, champion life saver, in sensational exhibition of diving, swimming and posing, at Polls theatre next week Mics La Diva also claims the title of champion woman swimmer of the world, and is ready to defend her claims to this. MT. Conroy is known from coast to coast as an expert swimmer and has created for himself the astonishing to- tai of 137 rescues of human life. He and Miss La Diva give an exhibition of marvellous dives and fancy swim ming strokes, in a huge tank upon the stage and the act is declared to be one of the most novel and beauti- full of it's kind ever seen.
 The pen of that versatile and ever popular playwright-George Ade-never produced anything funnfer nor artis- ticaly more perfect than ''The Mayor and the Manicure, which appears at Polls next week. This sketch is MT. Ade's first venture as writer of vau- deville, but it Is so successful and re- ceived with so much pleasure by the theatregoers that it es to be hoped that more will follow. 'The Mayor and the Manicure, presented by an excellent company, will undoubtedly be one of the big attractions on the bill next week.
 Arthur J. Pickens, a popular and versatile vaudeville comedian, has him in his sketch Freddie" at Poli's next week. The act is bound to make l great hit, judging by the merit of PickenS' past performances in Bridge port. Full of fun and presented with "snap" and good shoWmanship, it amuses and delights.
 Nonnette, the charming viOFniste, Is sure to create a furore in Bridgeport next week. Declared to be one of the most accomplished of yiolinists in the country, she is gifted as we'll with personal charms which aid her in fn- stantly winning the approval of the audiences and take every house by storm.
 One Of the very best of vaudeville quartets is the Monarch Comedy Four at Polls next week. All of the mem bers of this organization are gifted with splendid solo voices, and together the quartet is unsteady delightful. At the same time the comedy feature of the entertainment is highly anus ing and adds greatly to the perform ance.
 Other big features of next week s bill will include such excellent vaude- vile as the OKaro's, novelty enter tafners with an act full of surprises; i; Krempka Brothers, acrobatic marvels, with many new and astonishing feats of strength and skill the Electro graph, with a number of the latest and best motion picture successes, and finally, Polls orchestra, with musical comedy and popular selections.
 Taken altogether next weeks bill is without doubt one of the greatest offerings of stellar vaudeville acts ever shown in Bridgeport and one which is bound to meet with the utmost ap- proval of the holiday audiences. Ow- ing to the big demand for seats, wise ones will order early, and preferably for early in the week

 From 10 o'clock, last night, until 2 o'clock this morning, when Clarke and Fogler gained their coveted lap, the sprint succeeding another. Ten thou sand people remained around the arena. No race in past years had such scattered field as in this one. There was every indication of sensational squirting.
 Palmer and Wells were so exhaust ed by the sprints of early morning that they were compelled to drop out of the race. Stein and Thomas quit at six o'clock, last night.
 Jimmy Moran, already unpopular with the fans because of his alleged foul tactics, was hissed when he came onto the track, today, because of a collision with Hill, last night, ascribed to Moran's riding, by most of the spectators.
 Sardow, of the German team. came in for much praise when, today, it was learned that he has remained in the race with @ broken left rib and torn fragments.
 Further efforts. early today. to throw out the 'sleepers' who have been in the Garden since last Sunday night, came near resulting in a riot-and the sleepers remained

The management of the Orpheum
theater sprung a surprise on the the
ater-goers Of Tampa last night when
Johnnie and Ella Calvin opened their
two weeks engagement with the mus
ical comedy. The Man Question"
This attraction was a big success
and made a real hit. The theater was
we'll filled with first-nighters and the
unanimous opinion of those present
was that the Man Question" was one
of the best musical comedies ever pre-
scented in Tampa at any prize.
The scenery. of which the company
carries a carload, was beautiful, the
costumes gorgeous. and the spectacular
electrical effects probably more dazzl-
ing than anything ever seen on the To-
cal stage. The balloon number intro
ducing Ella Calvin. seated on the
trapeze of the balloon floating over
the heads OF the audience was the hit
of the show. and in effect worthy OF
the biggest shows on the road. The
music was tuneful and catchy. % you
