GIRL TELLS SAD
FATE STORY TO
OBTAIN CHARITY

A warning issued by the Charity de-
partment against the indiscriminate
distribution of charity to those who
call from door to door. Among the
many recent impositions which have
been practiced in Bridgeport one of
particular audacity has recently come
to light against which a particular
warning is given.

washing for a family said to be upon

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST
The Old Joke About something just
Good" Doesn't Apply to
This Drug store

You have probably heard dozens Of
times the old story that a drug store
was a place TO get something just as
good" There is at least one druggist
in the world that you can't say this
about.
1t Is certain that an inferior article
will never be substituted for a guar
anteed one By the Court Pharmacy.
Take for instance a safe, reliable rem
edy like Dodson's Liver Tone. This
harmless vegetable liquid has proved
50 satisfactory a liver stimulant and
reliever Of biliousness. and TO entirely
take the place of calomel without any
danger or restriction Of habits or diet,
that there are dozens Of preparations
springing Up with limitations Of its
claims.
But Dodson's Liver Tone is guar
anteed TO do all that is claimed for IL.
and If you are not satisfied with II. the
Court Pharmacy will hand your money
back with smile. Any person going
to this store for a bottle Of Dodson' 5
Liver Tone will be sure Of getting a
large bottle of this genuine remedy in
exchange for his half dollar. Ad Is

CURIOUS HERMIT CRABS.
They Keep Housemaids, and Also Use
Sponges For Protection.

They Keep Housemaids, and Also Use
Sponges For Protection.
1t has been said that crabs are as
artful as IA barrow load of monkeys"
and no one who has read Professor
Edward Steps '.Messmates; A Book of
Strange Comprehensive In Nature"
will deny that there is considerable
truth in the remark Amazing indeed
are some of the revelations which the
professor makes regarding crabs.
He relates. for instance how the
common hermit crab actually keeps a
housemaid to clean out his house
When be first starts life this particu-
lar species of crab hunts for some large
shellfish's she'll in which he can live
at ease. rent free. He usually chooses
q large whelk shell and introduces
large seaworm. belonging to what is
known as the ''nereis' family and
which grows to a length of six or
eight inches. to keep the interior Of
the shell clean. The crab feeds hearth
ly on sea creatures that wander care
IeSsly into the shell and throws the in
dgestible parts of them about the
ue UGtSlS W OH COLI
Sumes these remains and keeps the
she'll as clean Us new pin
The artfuIneSS of this crab. too. is
strikingly Illustrated by the ingenious
manner in which he protects himself
against the large fish which look upon
him as an excellent article of food
Sometimes he induces a sponge to
grow on his she'll. SpongeS in living
condition give out L strong Odor. which
is distinctly unpleasant TO fish. and
even dogfiSh will not attack a crab
protected in this manner.

GOOD ADVICE FROM McCULLY

To my Demonstrators and Co-0pe-
rators: The ii he is drawing near.
and i you exp let TO get the very
best results from your plot Of ground
it should be broken now and planted
with rye or oats. rye preferred. as a
legume crop/and then turned under.
in order that the cover crops will be
thoroughly rotted, thus giving the
nitrogen time to thoroughly assimu-
late itself in the ground
mi If you break your plot now and
don't plant cover crop or keep it
narrowed occasionally. it will be bet
ter to defer breaking until spring
I hope my old demonstrators will
begin a rotation of crops. For in
stance, where you planted corn this
year, plant velvet beans or COW peas
this year, so the beans or peas can
put back more nitrogen than the
corn took out, and by turning under
either one Of these crops you will en-
rich your land. When We be-
gin rotating our crops Systematically,
say for three years. our land will
respond most bountifully.
