NOW WORKS WITH
 LESS EFFORT
Popular City Salesman Is Greatly Relieved and
 Rejuvenated

"Judging from my own experience I do not hesitate to say that 'Tona vita,' as 1t is called. isanextrem ly valu- able preparation" said MT. W. Meyer of ss Fairfield avenue, a we'll known salesman of this city. 'Tn fact" con- tinued he. it has proved more effec- tive than had believed possible.
 When was told of the merits of your preparation I confess I was somewhat skeptical. When your rep resentative at the Jennie Hamilton's Drug Store offered to return my mon- ey if it did not benefit me. I finally decided to give 1t fair trial. am heartily glad that did so
 was in an exceedingly nervous condition, following a severe illness. have used one bottle and feel like new man. I intend to get another bottle as soon as this one is used up. I feel better than have for years. and can heartily recommend this 'Tona Vita to anyone
 One of the specialists who are meet ing the public in Bridgeport explain ing the nature of the new tonic said: We are receiving endorsements from scores of men and women of unques- toned integrity here in Bridgeport, who have found Tona Vita to be all we claim, but we are especially glad to receive statements of this charac- ter from men who are so we'll and fa- vorably known as MT. Meyer.
 we want the men and women of this city who are suffering with what is called rundown condition to try this medicine. If the results are not entirely satisfactory we refund the price paid for the medicine. We know we have the greatest tonic ever offered the public in this country, but I1S- .yrxl S unless he or she is willing to try it. Our time in Bridgeport is limited, so that we are anxious to have as many peoole as we con conveniently talk to call during the next few days. We are meeting a great many people each day and the numbers are increasing, but when we realize how many de- bilitated, nervous people there are in this hig city. who would be so greatly benefited by eTona Vita it seems pcs lively wicked thad either through carelessness or skepticism they do not try this tonic."
 The specialists are at Jennie Ham 1lton'S Pharmacy, between a. m. to g D. m. to meet the public.
 The sale of this new medicine is now the biggest thing of the kind ever seen in Bridgeport and each succeed-s ing day marks an increase of inter- est "Tona vita' is proving a com plete revelation to the thousands of half-sick, rundown, listless men and women in the city who did not know exactly what was the matter with them. It would be worth anybody'sH time to visit the Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, the exclusive agents in Bridgeport, and inspectN the large number of testimonials from those who have been benefited bv the new tonic and who have undoubted faith in it as a remedy of unusual value

NATIVE PATCHES 152 MILLION HOLSTERS

Bangor, Dec. .23-Commissioner James Donohue of the Sea and Shore Fisher ies Department of Maine, yesterday gave out a statement that should bring joy to Broadway.
 He has just finished the job of plant ing snugly in their little gravelly beds, with eelgrass curtains, mo fewer than 152, 295, 900 baby Holsters, which, if they have their health and manage to sfde- step their natural enemies, will soon grow up into big Holsters fit to mihgle in the festivities of the principal street in the world.
 Last year about 17,500, ,000 pounds of adult Holsters were taken from Maine waters, and the fishermen got about $2,150.000 for them. This year the catch has been about the same.
 To make up for this great annual drain on the supply the State of Maine, assfsted by Uncle Sam, has per- fected a process of artificial propaga- tion with notable success.
 A steamboat is sent along the coast buying mother Holsters from the fish ermen. These are taken to the United States hatehery at Boothbay Harbor and stripped of their eggs, which are then matched out by an interesting process in May and June and distrib- uted in the places from which the mother Holsters were taken.

LaF ollette Tells New
 Jersey He's for Recall

Passaic, N. J., Dec. 23-United States Senator Robert M. La Toilette of Wis consin last night gave a lecture in the Passaics High School, under the aus- pices of the Passaic Teachers Asso- citation. Sixteen hundred persons were pro sent.
 fIe referred to the fact that it was many years since he had lectured in New Jersey before, but he hoped he would not be stranger to Jersey1tes in the future. The Senator said that for a quarter of a century the people of New Jersey had not had real rep resentarion in the Legislature of their State or in Washington.
 t.r said if representatives, sent to either the State Legislature or to Con- sress, had not lived up to their prom ises to- the people, then the people had been betrayed. The people of New Jersey had been practically dis added.
 The speaker said the industries of the entire country are controlled by a corporation, whose directors number less than hundred. In this corpora ton there were really fourteen active directors, he added, the others being dummies"
 La Toilette said he referred to Nor gan and the Standard Oil interests. Those two interests, he said, controlled everything, even the banks. In speaking of the Presidency the Senator said he had nothing up his sleeve He said he was ambitious in that direction, but that he would never accept the nomination for Pres ident of the United States unless he fe,t that by doing so he could achieve something for the people of the coun- try.
 La Toilette added the Government has slipped away from the grasp of the people at large, and said he is in a movement to bring it back again to the people.
 He said he favors direct nomina- tions, from President down to coroner. The speaker added the people should have the balance. of power in all ques- tions pertaining to its representatives of all classes, and that the people at large could be trusted not to abuse this power, if intrusted to them.
 The Senator told his hearers he fa- vored the initiative, referendum and the recala including the recall of the He safd that the judiciary should not be excepted, and if any judge did not do his duty he should be subject to the recall of the vot- CTS.
 He dwelt at length on the work done by the Republicans of the progressive orders in his own State. There, he said, the people had been saved mill lions of dollars by their administra-- tion.

Especial from United Press.) -> New York, Dec. 23.-''The reason it is SO hard to find $10.000 a year men for s10,000 a year jobs is be- cause $1e,000sa year men never have to look for jobs. they always have them" declared George W. Perkins. former partner of J. P. Morgan, ins an interview published here, today.
 "1t takes men years to prepare themselves for $10,000 year jobs, '' continued Perkins. ''and lack of this preparation is what causes dearth of the men. The man who reaches the $10,000 point is the man who knows not only his own job thorough ly but that of the man ahead of him. No longer is it a question of brawn as much as brain.''
