A Reasonable Plea
 For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Diges- tive Power, Why Not Help the
 Stomach Do Its Work?
Especially When It Costs Nothing to
 Try.

Not with drugs. but with a rein forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stom- ach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion, requires pepSin, nitrogenous fermentS, and the secretion of hydro chloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these O. gans need. They imulate the gast ic glands and gradually bring the diges- tive organs back to their normal con- dition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to

THE NEW LYRIC

The slogan of the Lyric theatre is 6Get your seats carly" and the eau
 tion has become necessary, for nightly there are many turned away, unable to enjoy the pleasure of which their diIatoriness in this direction has rob soed them The theatre at both perfc r.
 mances yesterday was crowded to the
 doors. and last evening especially hun dreds were unable to gain admlttance. Many of these disappointed ones took heed and bought tickets at once for to-night's performance, but the supply ! of these is very small, and those who want them must get around in t1mei or they will share the fate of their unfortunate brothers last evening.
 This seems but repetition of the
 usual order of things, however, for almost every night 1t is the same story. The success of the Carpenter theatre Is rather extraordinary, but not in the least to be wondered at, when the excellence of the offerings there. and the remarkable low price I CT before has this city enjoyed such l excellent entertainment at so small cost, and the people are not slow to recognize the bargain they are getting. ''The Deserters'' will be seen again this evening, and tomorrow afternoon ] and evening, and the p ayhouse will be filled to the limit of its capacity at every performances. That is fore | gone conclusion, and only proves the
 popularity of the company and the l theatre.
 , The comedy which is scheduled for 1 the coming week will still further in ] crease this wonderful popularity. '"The
 Marriage of Kitty" the pay in which 1 Marie Tempest, the queen of com eGy.'%' starred in both America and ] Englard, and in which she created one | of the most brilliant successes known | to the present day stage, will be the | offering, and in this Miss Cleveland is 1 certain to capture the audiences which ] will gather at this beautiful playhouse l to see her. She has much the same merry temperament as Miss Tempest, ] and is quite capable of giving a finish 1 ed and charming rendition of the name part in the comedy. No one, after having seen her in her previous offer 1 ings, can question her dramatic ab1l- I ify, and her talents as comedtenne have also been demonstrated to the i complete satisfaction of her audiences. 1 The role Of Kitty is one in which ] she will surely shine, and as she will ] have the excellent support of her en- tire company. it will readily be agreed that the production for the coming
 week cannot be anything other than a
 success. in the comp etest sense.
 The scenic and costuming features
 of the production will not be at all lacking, for MT. Carpenter is one Of
 tile most thorough of managers in this
 direction, and he is preparing to give
 even a greater treat during the week

SaVin Rock To Have
 Biggest CarOusaI
Will Mark Passing Away of Famous Old Hill Home stead tlat Has Braved Storms of a Century.

Savin Rock is to have the biggest merry-go-round east of the Mississip- pi. And to house 1t John St. Law renee is to build a large pavilion Homestead, which will be completed in time for the coming season.
 These planned improvements are famous old "Homestead,'' which has been one of the landmarks of Savin Rock and West Haven for over 100 years. MT. St. Lawrence will not run the Homestead himself another season, but will lease it out to some one else if possible. If it does not prove suc- cessful this way he will have the old building moved and will open up that whole section as a park.
 The old Hill Homestead has braved the storms of a century but has shown itself able to withstand but a brief decade as a shore resort at- traction. In practically it's present condition the old building stood in the early eighties and was known as "Al- lens Tavern" It was a meeting place for the convivial spirits of the whole countryside and was the scene of all the rural dances and entertainments for the country people to assemble in such numbers that when it came time to seek slumber, the men many times had to go to the old barn nearby NSIl1I SIdnulnSJ ana leave the house for the women. There were not enough rooms to accommodate them all.
 Later the tavern passed into the hands of the Hill boys, best known of whom were Alfred and Jimmy who ran it for years and years. Twen- ty years ago, John St. Lawrence tool charge of the old hostelry and has been running it since Of late years the Homestead has not been so pop ular as of old and MT. St. Lawrence has brought much of the trade tc his new place, a short distance dowr the shore.

There Y i'll not be a single feature missing from the original production, yet the theatre goers of Bridgeport will see this beautiful offering, really on a Broadway scale of magnihcence, at the usual little Lyric prices, both mat inees and evenings. The seats are on sale for the entire week, and they should be obtained early, so that no disappointment may be experienced at the last moment

Possibly David Graham Phillips had in mind the Biblical mote when he selected the title for his latest and greatest novel, ''The Grain of Dust which will be produced here for the first time in dramatic form by James x. Hackett and his company of spe- cialIy selected players at the Park theatre next Monday evening. At any rate the mote" which gets into the eye of Frederick Norman, the yuone corporation attorney and pet web-spin- ner of the plutocratic spider, Isaac Burroughs, is a woman. Insignificant little stenographer though she seems to be, in the eyes of Norman's aristo- cratic E1a3er, she is important enough
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-02-16

to upset the best laid plans of numer- ous big men and ambitious women iK the world of high society and finance For she looms so large in Norman's s eyes that for her he throws over the plutocrat's daughter, to whom for sO- cial and business reasons he has been engaged, thereby incurring the fury of "a woman scorned." Drawing room and modern business office form the scene settings and the characters wear dress suits and talk the tongues of Wall street and Fifth avenue; nev- ertheless it is a real, red-bIooded drama, and MT. Hackett and his ad mirable company should hit 1t off finely.

{, That her name had slipped his
memory, if indeed he had ever known
it, was true; but one thing fingered
incandescently in his mind. and that
was, he had written her, following
infinitely her own specific directions

Paris, Naples and Cairo; and for many
passings of moons he had opened his
fofeign mail eagerly anas, hopefully.
But hope must have Something to

two years, she rendered up the ghost.
It wasn't the loss of money that
