HOME HEAL I'll CLUB

IMAGINARY DLSEASES-Many a physician has borne testimony that when he was a student at the medical college he had all the diseases that he read about in the medical books. He recognized the symptoms in him self. every time he felt "a little under the weather" E
 This sort of thing is not confined to medical students. Every physician has had persons come to him with victim was certain he had 1t, bad. The doctor generally cures that pa- tient with what is termed a "placebo',' an inert, pretended medicine. given to satisfy a patient to placate him, so to speak. Both words are from the same root. A placebo is general ly; a bread pill, or little water, col ored with some kind of innocent dye.
 Of these imaginary diseases heart disease" Is the most common. The stomach is overloaded, or in some way inflated, mostly by gases, which conditions have the effect of crowding the diaphragm up into the hearts re- zion, thereby interfering somewhat with that organs action. 1t This. how trouble with lis delicate though pow erful part of the human system.
 Frequently the same effect as that mentioned in the foregoing paragraph, Is caused by nervous sympathy with the stomach, brought about by acute indigestion. Of great or less degree. In any degree it fig distressing and may be avoided by care. For in stance, one cup of coffee may. at times, be taken, with comparative safety, when two cups would have a decided toxic effect. But coffee is. In any way that it can be taken, highly dileterious to a delicate stomach.
 Many persons read patent circulars, and other printed stuff of that character, in which all the ills that escaped from Pandora's box are described, as to symptoms, and some folks, if they have any sort of stitch" anywhere in the system, are at once led to the belief that one. or more. of the many afflictions so glaringiy- and so ridicuously-portraye there, are just what is ailing them. They get some of this cure-all truck. and then if they escape with some real afflictions it is a miracle.
 TEe fact is that fleeting symptoms"

HOW THE CIRCUS
 BENEFITS CITY

Tn the cities and towns of the coun- try at large there is one day in the year when there is sudden increase in population-the next day it vanish- es and the city or town resumes it's normal size richer in experience, in knowledge and much richer in money. for it is fact that almost any bank may attest, that the day after the circus day of the year is usually marked by the banks as the day of the biggest deposits of the year.
 Local economists may be surprised at this statement and may even be inclined to dispute it but their dispus tation may not dispel the fact. The reasons are too numerous and too va ried to be recounted in extense, but the basic fact lies in the circum- stance that when people come from the country into the town they spend money and spend it in the town. The few thousands they may spend with the circus is for the most part not taken away from the town for it is a business law among circus proprietors that they must spend more in a town than they take away from it. They certainly do not want to but their
 
 cepting in the largest cities this money does not come from the town itself but from the people the circus brings into the town.
 The proprietors of the Rarnum and Bailey circus which comes to Bridge port Fridc2 June 2S assume all the committee work and raising of funds for the circus celebration teat brings the throngs into town-if it is a fair, a convention a celebration of any other sort the business men. of the town have to take up the burden as- stunned by the circus managers, and the general history of such invest ments by local business men is rec ord of considerable immediate loss, with extremely doubtful possibilities of a recovery of this sort of loss in the future.
 Circus day is again approaching in this city and in view of the incontro- vertible facts cited above it ought to be welcomed by local economists as it is bound to be by the masses of the people and thus made day of pleas urable contemplation for everybody in the community.

POLI,S

l. All this week Bridgeport, audiences will have the chance of seeing for the first time at popular prices ''The Easi- est Way,'' the drama that mads all America talk on it's production, with in recent memory. With scenic in- vestiture complete as given in the ori- ginal company, this great drama of modern life will be the offering at Polls theatre, produced by the Poll Players, 'the best stock company ever in Bridgeport
 N Eugene Walter is the playwright whose. first production-th1s one achieved such a sensational success in such short space of time, It is a matter of theatrical history now that Walter went begging from manager 'gThe Easiest Way and it was long time before he found someone with the courage to take up this play and produce it. Walter himself was re- duced to extremeities when his play was at last given the opportunity he sought for it. and at once became the talk of the theatre going public, achieving a run of two solid years in New York. and incidentally break ing a few records for attendance.
 The Easiest Way is based on an episode of life today-and handles a theme that is none the less true de- spite the fact of it's being more or less "taboOed' in ordinary discussion. The heroine of the play-if she can be called such-is Laura Nurdock, luxury loving young woman, who is without the means of gratifying the expensive tastes which she has ac- Quired. She is in love with young man who can give her nothing but h.s name, and. the prospect of Hove in a cottage and the hardships of economy do not appeal to her.
 The opportunity of obtaining the fine things which she desires is laid before her, the sacrifice being her love and herself Her sweetheart discov- CTS the fact and strives to prevent her taking the suicidal course which is be- fore her. She makes up her mind fin ally in one of the most thrilling and dramatic episodes ever staged. The playwright has striven neither to att tack nor defend the course of the prin- cipal character in his play, but to por- tray the facts and let them speak for themselves. This perhaps is the req son for the wide diversity of opinion evoked by 'aThe Easiest Way" By some it has been branded and barred; by others, proclaimed, as finer than any sermon. At any rate, it is a great piece of dramatic entertainment, and is bound to be one of the sensations of the season. The production of this great play will be marked with the perfection characteristic of the PoH Players and local theatregoers are sure to avail themselves of the treat

 CLUB NOTES.
 Dear Doctor:-y 4
 I would like you to tell me what to do for our little boy, 22 months old, who has naval rupture. It is about the stzeaof a. shelled hickory nut when he cries.. He is a strong, active baby, weighs 35 pounds, and on the move all the time, except when asleep. I kept a band on him, with piece of rounded lead over the rupture, for a long time. Now I keep a rubber or elastic band on him all the time. It
 
 right place. He has been this way ever since he was two weeks old. Is there any cure? Can it be cured by an operation? I can hear the water gurgle in it when it goes back and forth I have been using an egg ointment every night, but nothing I have done does any good. I am trou- bled about it.
 e MRS. E. l.. S.
 There is no question but that a sxillful operation would cure the rup- ture, but the danger lies in the anes- thetic and the shock. No human be- ing can tell with certainty what the after effects will be. In 95 eases out of every hundred cure can be eff fected by properly fitted truss and if it is properly fitted there will be no difficulty in keeping it in nsplace.
 Rubber bands are not advisable as they interfere with the circulation and are uncomfortable, and while a prop erly fitted truss will not be noticed after a. few days, complete cure is frequently brought about. by a good truss in, a few weeks. =.

OF KHARTUM
 SAYS EGYPT IS LOYAL

Who is the greatest living soldier? Who, among the generals of today, is best fitted to wear the mantle. of AL exander and J. Caesar. of Napoleon and wellington, of Grant and Lee? While every nation would probably nominate favorite son. if the ques- tion came to a vote. there is little doubt that the fighting men of the world would roll up big majority for Kitchener of Khartum. Gen. sHard- -Nails'' Horatio Herb0rt Kitchener is an Irishman, of course,- born June "A, 1850, just sixty-two years ago today, in Ballylongford, in County Kerry. So iv coorse he is Irish-al- though some sassemacha have claim ed that just because his parents were English, Lord Kitchener is an Eng lishnnan! Thg nerve O thim!
 The first Viscount Kitchener of Khartum, the avenger of. Gordon and the redeemer of the Soudan, has hard, glinty, steely blue eyes deep set in a brick red face, a scrub bREs1 of a a soldier. He is about as converse tional as the Sphinx of which.he is now the guardian, and he is, when he wants to be, as frigid, not to say gelid, as an iceberg. But he does things. Ask those who knew him at the Royal Academy at WoOlW1ch-ask those who fought in the Khalifa's s who opposed him in South Africa.
 As Sirdar of the army in Egypt, as commander of the forces in South Af- rica. as Field-gMarshal of the Mediter- ranean, and now as British Consul General and Diplomatic Agent in Egypt, Lord Kitchener has made an enviable record both in war and peace. vvs ;, oF &I,@ hon ond yet he is no Weyler to inflict useless suffering. A woman hater, he will have. no married men on his staff His motto is that poetically express ed by Kipling:
 Down to Gahonna, or up to throne. He travels the fastest who travels
 alone" s
 Egypt preserves the forms of an in- dependent nation, with an ornamental Khediye, and is nominal1y under the flag, but it's real ruler is now Kitchener of Khartum. In the first report of his stewardship, just made public, there tre facts and figures that prove that he has already accomplish ed much toward the restoration of peace and prosperity in the worlds most anciet nation. Reports that the Moslems are contemplating holy war; are denied by Lord Kitchener, who says:
 saThe mischievous efforts of ire. sponsible native newspapers to stir up trouble over the Tripon war have been The Egyptian population has not been excited it has dnly been aroused to generous efforts to relieve the distress of the suffering Tripoli- tan Mohammedans caused by the war, the Red Crescent Hospital." !"
 Another section of Lord Kitchener's report says:
 '"The fellah remains the best and most hardworked type of humanity. The Governments finances are pros porous, loan has been averted and money is available for the Delta drain age. The cotton crop is reasonably good and the condition in the Soudan is extraordinarily flourishing. The births were once stopped by universal starvation and misery; they are now very rapid. Immigration Is also booming
