The newest justification for the
canned goods industry is in the ma
ture of paradox. 1t is founded up
on considerations of health. We have
discovered that, if we will eat more
canned goods, especially in the win
ter, we will be healthier! All of us
have suspected the healthfulness OF
foods that came out of tin cans. We
have heard horrible tales of ptomaine
poisonings; we are uncertain as to
the age of the food we are eating,
and we have felt an instructive fear
of the whole category of canned
goods.
But now comes science, represent
ed by independent chemists, by food
experts, by the department of agri-
culture and by all manner of experts
and authorities to tell us that we
were all wrong; that our instructive
fears were not we'll founded; that
what we really need is not less
canned goods, but more!
There are reasons: In the first
place, canned goods, to be put up so
they will keep at all, must be steril-
zed. They must be subjected to
process that will kill the bacteria and
spores that may cause putrefaction,
md in killing them it is certain that
he less hardy pathogenic or disease
causing germs will be destroyed The
fresh vegetables from the green gro
GERS may give us typhoid fever; veg
etables out of can will not.
Not to eat vegetables and fruits,
md to live exclusively on meat and
eggs and bread and butter is to in
lure our health. So, if we are warned
by the United States food authorities,
We will eat canned vegetables and,
not incidentally but most significant
y, we will take less medicine. To
quote here recent bulletin of the
United States department of agri-
culture:
"The balanced ration of many
Americans today is made up some
thing as follows:
Bread, butter, eggs, patent medi-
cine laxatives. Meat and fish, pota-
toes.
"Many Americans customarily suf
fer from one of the following COM
plants: Indigestion, constipation,
rheumatism. A simple change of the
laily menu might go long way to
'emedy these ailments, according to
he bureau of plant industry's spe-
,:ialist in charge of canning club
work. This specialist recommends
a change to naenu more in keeping
With natures plan, something as fol-
iows:
"Bread, butter, fruit, vegetables:
green's. Meat, fish, eggs.
"He recommends that every fam
ily provide a diet of fruit and vege-
.ables for every day in the year. This
would do much to eliminate the need
Tor patent medicine laxatives that
figure so prominently in many Amer
can bills of fare. If every home kept
IN hand enough canned products so
hat there might be can of fruits.
can of greens and can of vegeta-
1les for every day during the winter,
here would be little need for the lax
atives now so regularly purchased
from the corner drug store. There
would also be great economy in the
substitution of an inexpensive food

MEXICAN FUGITIVES
 REACH BORDER LINE

Presidio, Tex, Dec. 9-As far as the eye could reach there stretched out over the desert south of Ojinaga Mex, opposite Presidio, the stragg ling end of the Mexican federal army and the civilians who fled from Chihua- hua to safety on the United States border. It was expected that the fugitives would continue to arrive in Ojfnaga all day A few who reached the American side said the exodus in- cluded more than 4,OOO persons
 The federal troops, including the most important federal generals in the north, continued fortifying the village. This, taken with the fact that General Sa1azar immediately on his arrival communicated with Mex ico City, indicated that the federaIs intended to make defense on the border at least until they could re- ceive orders from the Huerta govern ment.

Mayor Expects to Make Ho1- iday a Real Christmas for
 Many 8 Needy Family
CHRISTMAS BOXES
 TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Tree, Ablaze With Lights, Will Be Illumined When
 Band Plays

A real Christmas tree, 50 feet high, brightly iIlumined and heavily laden with genuine Christmas boxes for the poor little folks of the city, is the project announced today by Mayor Wilson. The mayor believes the plan, as worked out in other cities, can be successfully executed here, and at the suggestion of people who believe the real Christmas spirit should be brought into every home, Iae has talk en up the plan with lively interest.
 He expects to obtain a fine Christmas tree from Beardsley park, and will have employees of the Park Depart ment set it up, either at the head of Broad street hill, or on Courtland hill. at some suitable spot. Those who wish will have an opportunity of send ing Christmas boxes and the dfstri~ button of these will be placed in the hands of persons of judgment and experience.
 On Christmas eve, at 6:S0 it is plan ned to light the tree. F'estoons of 8 myriad of electric lights, appropriate Iy oolored, will shed an Hridiscent glow through the greenery, and promptly on the turning on of the current, the wheeler & wilson band will play the Christmas hymn.
 It is likely that there will be a throng of spectators at the cerenon- ies of the municipal Christmas tree. In other cites where the plan has been worked4 out, the throng sur rounding the tree has taken up the strains of the Christmas hymn. Prof. Elmer s. Joyce has assured Mayor Wilson that he will bring a number of singers who will lead in the hymn, and it is likely that the choirs of a number of the churches will be en- listed.
 On New Years eve, it is planned to have another concert, furnished by the band attached to the Coast Arti1- Iery' Corps. The mayor expressed himself as confident that the tree1 would be a, great success, for he says the responses wherever he has sug- gested the plan have been sponton- ous and very generous.

BUY IN BRIDGEPORT
 AND SAVE MONEY

Save time, car fare and delay in deliveries. See what you buy and know that it is right. If it isn't, have it exchanged, providing it is not one of those things that are not exchangeab1e. If you buy out of town from a printed description } you are not certain the ar ticle is what you want until you receive it.
 With crowded mail and express service you are not certain when you will get it. There may not be time to exchange it after it reaches you.
 You may have to make a
 trip for the purpose. That means time and time is money It means car fare and that is more money.

ANESTHESIA
 BY ETHER IN
 OLIVE OIL Mixture Is Introduced Into Circulatory Sys-
 tenn EVIL EFFECTS OF INHALATION AVOIDED Results Said to Warrant Continued Use of the
 Method

Experiments of most radical and beneficial character have been EIic- cessfully tried during the past week, at the Bridgeport Hospital.
 The operations performed in this city are most remarkable and if fu- ture experiments by surgeons else where prove the practicability of these trials, a new era is promised in anaesthesia, which will positively e1i- rninate both the present nausea ex- per1enced by a patient undergoing ether inhalation, the suffocattng sen sation as unconsciousness is induced, and the difficulty formerly experience ed by surgeons in performing difficult operations upon the throat, nose and other sections of the head, where the hands of the anaesthet are now found to be in the way.
 It was but last week that the Med ica1 Journal announced the discovery of famous New York surgeon that iquid ether. mixed with olive oil as a carrier, injected into the system in sufficient quantity to induce lengthy sleep was both practical, and would eliminate the disadvantages of va porized ether applied through the nostri1s. Dr. D. c. Patterson, hav- ing previously been in close touch with the New York surgeon and fla mi1iar with the experiments and op- erations already made, decided to utilize the method in this city. Se- curing permission from several pa tients to be operated on in the Bridge port hospital last week, he quietly communicated his plan to a few phy- sicians, including pr. Philip Bill, and an operation for appendicitis was most successfully performed. Other minor operations followed, the re- suits of which are said to fully war rant a continued use of the method.
 The principal is merely a reversion of the usual vaporizing method. A sufficient quantity of ether, guaged according to the length of the sleep desired is mixed with olive oil and introduced into the circulatory sys- tenn through injection. It is passe through the lungs as is the case with inhaled ether, but has the advantage of being much slower in eXhaIation and consequently leaves the patient free from the constant application of the mask so necessary now. It is said that the sickening nausea is ob- viated and the patient after return ing to consciousness is not subjected to this inconvenience.
 Dr. Patterson today was extremely reticent in claiming any credit in in- troducing the practice here, though been successfully done here and that more were to follow.
 It was learned that outside of New York, where but few have been tried, Bridgeport is the first city to forge ahead with this new method which may revolutionize anaesthetization.
