 From Use of Tonic

'I was i'll about ten years ago with blood poison, and it left me in very nervous condition. in fact it left me with what the doctors called raw nerves In recent months I have had a complete breakdown. My circuIa- tion was poor and my feet and hands Hellmann, of 76s Broad Street, city, recently.
 "This new medicine was recom- mended to me. have now taken The benefit have derived is all that could desire, as my nerves have inn proved and eat and sleep much bet ter. never had any medicine in my life to act as quickly. It was like magic. can cheerfully recommend it as the best medicine have ever taken.''
 Scores of other Bridgeport people sense which guides them in all their acts and conclusions are coming out Nnreservedly with statements regard, ing '"Fona Vfta,'' the new tonic that is accomplishing such remarkable re- suits in this city.
 People who are nervous and irrit- able, have imperfect digestion and stomach disorders, lack energy and ambition, feel melancholy and dis couraged, suffer with headaches. back aches, poor memory, unsound sleep, plexions and who are susceptible to coue11s and colds, are, nquestionab ply, suffering with nervous debility, that ~: p . cd disease that is so common in all large cities where natures limita- tion is more apt to be exceeded said o-e of the sDeciaIistS introducing 'aTona Vita''to the local public. There are thousands of such half-sck men rnd women n the city who really do not know just what Is the matter with them," continued this specialist. and they struggle aimlessly along un- til they become totally debilitated and often come to us suffering with this distressing condition Tn it's most az, gravated form. We have a prepsra- ton that will positively remove this condition and restore the organs of the body to healthy, normal condi- tion-"
 The sNTona vita'' specialists are at Jennie Hamflton's Pharmacy,9O9 Main street, from g a. m. to p. m. to meet the public. The sale of this new medicine is now the highest thing of the kind ever seen in Bridgeport and each succeeding day marks an in crease of interest. 'Tona Vita is proving a complete revelation to the thousa nds of half-sick. run-dowm. 1ist- less men and women in the city who did not know exactly what was the matter with them. It would be worth anvbody's time to visit the Jennie

.$2OO,OOO Left For
 Kishinev Victims
Court to Decide Who Will Take
 Over the Fupd

As a result of appeals for the reEef of sufferers of the Kfshineff massacres, the national committee collected $1,- sSs6, ,596.09 Of this amount g, ,1sz, ,O92.- Il has been expended up to date for relief, 70 that Jacob H. Schif now finds on his hands the sum of $2Oa.- ,3s As to the disposal of this sum MT. Schih has petitioned the Su- pren1e court, and friendly suit has been started the committee having pa pers in the suit served upon itself.
 MT. Schin is treasurer of the nation al committee for the relief of the suf- ferers of the Kishinen massacres, and in his papers in the friendly suit he re- lates the circt1mstances that caused the formation of the committee and the nature of the gifts and their do- nors- It is impossible to bring all Of the donors before the court since many of the effts were made sanonymous-y and many of the givers have died.
 Of the balance in che hands of MT schiR part of it Is in mortgages and loans The rest is in cash. The court is thus informed: More than five years have expired since the latest contribution or subscription to said trust was received. A liberal com scrfptions Is now impracticabIe for the reason that the massacres in Russia, which were the occasion of the crea- ton of the trust fund, have ceased, and as the plaintiff is informed and believes, no portion of the fund is required for the relief of sufferers therefrorn- The lapse of time, moreoE- CT, has rendered 1t impossible to make further expenditures EnteEigently, so ae to avoid waste and insure the use of the money for the relief of genuine distress resu'ting from the atrocities that brought the trust into existence.p
 Tn asking the court to name a cor ,poration to take over the money, MT. Schiff declares that the American Jewish committee is capable of taking over the trust, since it's objects are to prevent the infractfon of civil and re- ligious rights of Jews in any part of the world, to, obtain for the Jews equal ity of economic, socEaI and education al opportunity, and to alleviate the consequences of persecution, and to af- ford relief from calamities affecting Jews wherever they may occur. The present officers of the relief commit tee are the following: Cyrus L. Su E. secretary and MT. Schin treasurer.

President Taft and Senator Hepburn
 Both Working to That End.
Ry c. H. Tavenner, Special Wash ington Correspondent of the

h6LOA SOAICSPOhQCAL VI lAAC
 Farmer)
 Washington, Jan. 9-President Taft has just taken an action which Is worth millions of dollars to the. paper trust, by refusing to permit the free leptry of print paper and wood pulp from Germany, Sweden and other countries justly entitled to. that con-
 When the reciprocity bill was pass ed a provision was tackled to it pro- viding for the free admission of print pflnt paper and wood pulp from Can ada It was so arranged that his pro- vision became law whether the reel pprocity act was agreed to by Canada or not Therefore print paper and pulp wood are now admitted free from As soon as this provision became a law, Germany and Sweden and other send print paper and wood pulp into the United States, free of duty.
 We have treaties with you" de- clared these nations to the United States, providing that you are to ex- tend the same concessions to us that you extend to any other nation. Therefore, since you allow Canada to. send in these articles free of duty. we, under the most favored nations clause are justify entitled to the same rights 9
 Obviously, thks argument is unan- swerable.
 However, the President has just an
 
 partment, that duties will be collected as heretofore on al print paper inn ported from any other country than Canada. The announcement was made retary of State Knox and Attorney General Wickersham. The President advises the European nations to the Customs Court of Appeals, which, 1t is declared, is only a subterfuge
 President Taft has declared he is willing to concede the justice of de- mands for cheaper paper, but when the opportunity offers, his acts refute his words and promises and shows that he Is against giving even the slightest concession to free trade.
 The tariff on print paper is to all practical ends tax on intelligence, because in this day and age the great mass of the people receive their edu- newspapers. With print paper prac- tically controlled by trust, the price has been systematically boosted so as to work a hardship on the prosper ous publishers, and to make print pa per nigh on. to prohibi'rve to many of the small, country publishers whose earnings are not any too great at best
 Meanwhile there is pending a bill introduced by Senator Hepburn. which procity act Having been rejected by Canada, the law is dead without beine repealed, But if the act is repealed the live added section providing for free pTFnt paper and wood pulp would also be repealed, and the old tax on paper even from Canada would be re- stored Since the tax on, Canadian print paper and wood pulp has been repealed, more than 30 independent paper companies have started up in opposition to the trust. which fact ex- plains the reason of the joker in the | "Heyburn repealer."
