SOMETHING NEW
 SUGGESTED
A Local Railroad Man Says His Health Could Not
 Stand Strain

The nature of my business fre- quently necessitates irregularity with sleep and eating," said a we'll known railroad man. "As a result" con- tinued he, "I was recently attacked with bad headaches and disorders of the digestive organs. I found it hard to get much rest from my sleep, sell dof getting more than two hours sleep during the night. I would become fat1gued more readily than during my previous good health and it was diff ficult to get relief. I suffered with nervous and very irritable. My con- dition became so serious that I had to Hap off from my work.
 "A friend, who was also a rail- road man, advised me to try bottle of 'Tona Vita,' saying he had been in very poor health and that it had made we'll man of him. I bought a bot tie and I noticed an improvement from the very first. I am on the third bottle and I feel like my old self again.
 CT consider 'Tona Vita about the best tonic I ever used, and am very thankful to have this opportunity of recommending it 70 my friends, or anyone who might be in need of a up. It made me eat and sleep better preparation of this sore to build them than I had eaten or slept for a long time, and after taking it I got more benefit from my food and rest than I and one-half pounds since taking the tonic.''
 Thousands in Bridgeport are af- aicted with the same trouble in a more or less aggravated form, says the specialists who are here introduc- ing 'Tona. Vita.''
 ''The strain of modern city life" !" SQid nf fhoSo CnooiqIiCfG "canSQ irregularities with regard to eating and sleeping and produce most mis- erable condition of the body, which is known to us as nervous debility, { that modern plague whose chief symptoms are imperfect digestion, bowel trouble, nervousness, depres- sion. of spirits, little vitality, head aches. sluggish mind and poor mem ofy, dull pains in the back, poor cir culation, cold feet, susceptibility to colds and coughs. dizzy speels, spots before the eyes, uneasy sleep and poor appetite.
 ""Tona Vita" !" continued he, twill remove this condition, affording the right food material for complete refuvenation of all organs and their restoration to healthy, normal con- dition."
 The "Tona vita'' specialists are ex- p1aining the nature of their remark able preparation at Jennie Hamil- toms Pharmacy, and are meeting the public from a. m. to 6 p. m.
 The manager of the store says: eve did not know much about this tonic a few weeks ago except that reliable people were putting it out and that leading druggists in the United States were getting the agency for it. The preparation has opened our eyes since the specialists arrived to introduce it. We have never seen such a tremendous sale of any medi- cine before and the results we get from purchasers are very aatter1ng.

PADS AND FASHIONS

Long drop earrings are very fashion able. The ruffle is in again in all its old time variety and glory. A novelty is to have a set of ear rings and necklace to match. Doub'e-faced materials are used. a great deal for coats and skirts. Iridescent beads are the very smart est trimming for the evening gown. Ecclesiastical purple is one of the very smart shades for evening wear. A new style in the evening slipper is the extremely high-pointed tongue [ of ksd The new necklaces and pendants show increased length and are lacy in
 effect There seems to be no deviations
 from the straight, slender lines in
 dress. , The rage for brilliant Oriental col
 bring is expressed in the new evening
 dresses. Blue in all shades has acquired a
 decided vogue for handsome tailored
 costumes.
 Capes that are draped to make the figure look narrow are popular as ev- lening wraps. : Heavy fur plush is a good substi- tute on a coat of fur if fur is out of fthe question. Many French model gowns in light weight woolens have fullness at the
 top of the skirt.
 The long, close-fitting sleeve. with the haring piece over the hand is very trim and chic. The vogue for the complete dress, of whatever materials, is far-reaching and greatly liked. The two most fashionable forms of

 While skirts are taking on a wrap ped drapery which really cuts their length, coats are growing perceptibly longer.
 Serge, cheviot, homespun and whip cord are used for frequent wear; vel vet, velveteen and corduroy for dressy occasions.
 The winter hats fit more closely about the face, the trimming gets higher, and black velvet is the most popular material.
 The skirts to the evening dresses are long, most of them have trains and the trains are usually made in the long court length.
 One-piece dresses are increasing in popularity. They are suitable not only for morning wear, but for the more dresSy occasions.
 For the young girl the dainty pastel shades are preferable in evening wear to the more brilliant colors which are now with us.
 The furs of this season are decided " different from those of last year. The new models show black and white stripe effects and are for the most part broad, flat and dropping.
 The accordeon-pleated full, straight Jabot IS the very newest style of jabot and appears in black and white. Whether this will supersede the popu- lar side ruffle remains to be seen.
 The most popular trimmings for hats are feathers Of all sorts. Big bows of black or of white lace and of ribbon are also used, as we'll as the drapings Of velvet and the shaggy plushes.
 Most fashionable materials are rich and heavy. Tailored costumes are made up of thick wooly goods, and for sults and dresses even plush is used ming.

MERCHANT OF
 VENICE EXILED
Shakespeare's Play Barred From
 Hartford Schools on Protest From Hebrew Congregation

Hartford, Dec. 7-Shakespeare's play, "The Merchant of Venice, has been officially banned from the public schools of Hartford. This action was taken by the Board of Education, af- ter a protest from the congregation of Beth Israel had been received.
 Rabbi Harry W. Ettelson of the Congregation Beth Israel appeared be- fore the board, accompanied by a committee from his church. He ex- plained to the board that the char acter of "Shylock" in ''The Merchant of Venice, was an insult to a very large portion of the community and he believed that there were other works of classic English which could be used as text for the pupils if the play in question was eliminated. The committee declared that Shakespeare, in the play, had put emphasis on Shy lock the Jew, instead of ShylOck the Man.
 1t was voted to strike '"The Merchant of Venice from the last of author ized reading texts.''
 It was explained by members of the school board that while the play had been on the reading list of the schools for about eight years, no copies of it had been purchased for school use within that period.
 Another matter which precipitated quite a little discussion in the board was the following resolution, offered by John F. Purcell:
 ''The morning session in the schools shall commence with the singing of one of the national anthems. There shall be no religious exercises in any public school"
 This was defeated by vote of to f. and the following resolution was adopted:
 e'There shall be religious exercises in each school at the morning session, consisting of reading of the Scriptures and prayer by the teacher

beautifully intermingled.
The photo plays and one act are
already in the city and the other

railroad commission

e railroad commission of the
state of north Dakota is in receipt
OF a communication which informs
them that the rate case entitled R. E.
Cobb ct al VS.. Northern Pacific rail-
read eli al has been decided by the
interstate commerce commission In
favor Of the creamery company and
against the railroad. and incidentally
against The state, as North Dakota
appeared as an intervenor in the case
beirg an interested party.
The case was brought before the
interstate commerce commission to
prevent rate being put into effect
or the shipment of cream from North
Dakota to points in Minnesota where
cantra!izers are established. 1t was
argued that the rate which was pro-
posed would work injury to the state
in the effect it would have on the
local creameries. The centralizers
would be able to, pay more for the
cream than the local creameries and
then would have the matter in their
own HANDS when the home factories
had been forced out of business on
account IF lack of patronage. The
rate is what is known as the Beatrice
rate and 1t is stated that in Nebraska
where the rate has been in effect It
has worked great harm to the small
er creameries of the state and helped
build up the larger centralizing plants
of the big cities. Attorney General
Miller made a trip to Washington to
appear before ne railroad commits
sion at the time the case was up.
The following table will show the
rate that has been ordered by the
interstate commerce. commission. The
