 Gan you give me a definite idea of course of addresses I came back, and received the following very terse and significant reply
 "As I have thought upon it for some time past, a great continent has ris- en above the waters and I want to describe that continent to those not familiar with it. I think that the vii sion of Jesus concerning society in all it's parts is the pressing, almost crueh> ing, need of the times. What Jesus knew about the individual and so- ciety is what every other man who goes afieId should know. What l have to say is. I believe. of aleirn portance to Socialists and to Capital ists. That is if they have the real welfare of society at heart. The vici- ous capitalist and the vicious Socialist will not care for anything I have to fresh study of the life and teachings of Jesus from sociological point of view makes me feel that have from Him a message which I am very an- Xiours to deliver. My supreme aim is to be helpful to men and women of Bridgeport and to this end I will care from any source and give answers, so far as I have light. There is great need for all kinds of people to get to- gether that they may find, if possible, a common staring point. I cordially welcome Socialists, labor uniofists and men who stand radically opposed to their views, to be present during this course of talks
 The topic of discussion for tomorrow will be, Social Teachings; What Did Jesus Have to Say?; Dare the Church Proclaim it? and no doubt a large congregation will listen with still great interest, to the eminent preach CTS discourse on his version of Was Jesus a Socialism

''CASCARETS" MAKE

A 10 Cent Box Will Keep Your Liver, Stomach and Bowels Clean, Pure and Fresh for Months.

Sick headache. biliousness. dizzi- ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to tor pid liver, delayed ferm enting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes conges- tion and that dull, throbbing, sicken- ing headache.
 Salts, cathartie pills, oil and purga- tive waters force a pasageway for a day or two-yes-but they don't take the poisons out and have no effect upon the liver or stomach.
 Cascarets imm ediate1y cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases. take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constfpated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels clean and regular TOT mOnthS-AdV.~=

was relegated to the dining room to
play with her doll.
This particular one, the possessor
Of a kid body and bisque head, had
been somewhat ailing of late, owing
to the fact that its head was grad

pivotal eyes refused to perform
their functions of opening AID

Elsie made the discovery that there
was something inside Of it and final

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.
Why Como Persons Cling TO Things
That Are Rubbish.


That Arc Rubbish.
The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisinsly, and an observing eye can
tell how many years person hae
lived in the city By merely glancing
under her bed. If there are three
hat boxes one will contain letters,
one scraps of ribbons and laces-if
it's a man it's newspaper clippings
and one anything from a broken
lock to cd road maps. If, besides
these, there are bundles of msga-
zines and piles of newspapers, not
to mention a bicycle seat and a
green umbrella that one might use
in private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam
ily, if they are patiently moved
every cleaning day and clung to
through a moving, then their own
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there is not the slight
est hope Of their ever being cured.
They Will think from an attic point
of view for the rest OF their lives,
and their family might as well BE-
come resigned.
When people are willing to make
themselves dissgreeable over Q bit
Of string and absolutely objections
bic on the subject Of stray pieces Of
brown paper theY should not be 80
cused Of having bad dispositions,
nor should they be suspected Of do
ing it to annoy one. They arc
merely suffering from the attic In
stinct and cannot help themselves.
Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for q scheme Of
life where certain things were al
ways kept in the cellar, others in
the wood shed, others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor,
still others in the closets on the
next floor. and everything and any
thing that overiowed from any Of
these places was just taken up to
the attic. And now these poor dear
souls live with cellar, three stories
and sn attic still lodged in their
minds, and, though they viii in.
tine disappear, like all unnecessary
re,nbcrs--eeyonth toe, tails, an ap-
pendix-;l the lleantime they are

ENGLISH BEAUTY CUP.
Weak Tea Invites Sleep and Improve;
the Complexion.

the OomDlS%tons
I advise those who consult me
upon the tired complexion to in
dulge in what is called the English
beauty cup. Mr.. Gladstone took il
each night OF his life as long as he
had health, cpd. tt IL the cup which
keeps many an Enslkh bssnty go
ing. 1t is simply ,tas bat tea made
without the nerve destroying at
tributes. If properly made it in
vites sleep.
You take half a small coffee
spoon of tea, and you scatter it in
the bottom of a very large cup.
The German coffee cups are best
for this purpose. Over this you
pour as much boiling, bubbling wa
ter as the. cup will hold.
The saucer is placed on the top
Of the Gu in Chinese fashion. Now
comes he big wadded' tea cozy,
which must be thrown over all. 1t
is an oddly shaped coy, made to
cover cup and saucer. 1t stands for
five minutes to steep.
Now comes the scientific part OF
the cup. You take three very thin
slices of lemon, and you lay them
in big hot cup. On top of the
slices of lemon you place q big
maraschino, and then on top Of all
you pour in the tea, putting il
through a strainer.
The result will be a fine, weak
hot, but healthful cup of tea with
Just the right flavor of lemon. You
can have sugar If you want it, and
Gladstone's rule of three big Jumps
will do you no harm, for sugar is g
great builder up of the muscles.
By the way, if you are tagged out
day or night, try eating a little
sugar. A lump of sugar will re-
store the stomach and take away
that tired feeling. Sugar is recon-
mended to women whose cheeks arc
hollow. 1t has way OF building uI
tissue. -.
s Asbie4eup efstea at night is-'cx:
cellent, but the trouble is that most
persons make it too strong. The
weaker the better. The same is trat
of coffee, which, if taken wea!
enough and with plenty of goot
sugar, acts as a nightcap. Not one
person in a thousand can make i
right. In Paris the French beauty
takes her foaming cup of whipped
chocolate after the theater with {
biscuit, or she sips her cafe au lait
which is mostly milk. - Londor
