Bedbugs Blamed

That is the statement DR.. John r.

he question. Summing up his reasons,
Jr. Littlefeld said:
First. our present theories regarding
TEe origin Of cancer are untenable; sec
nd, until proven to the cotrarY, TIE
DrOtozoan organs must be regarded as
he cause of this growth; third, the fact
hat the bed bug has been the constant
companion of civilized man, following

cancer has always made its appearance
among savage people when they came in

CHRISTIAN UNION PROGRESSES WELL
 WITH BRICK SALES

It does not frequently happen that the people of city are given oppor- tunity to have a small financial inter est in any one building, simply by the contribution of a small sum of money; but such an opportunity is now being offered to the people of Bridgeport, by the Bridgeport Christian Union.
 The last report of the fund which was made on Monday after only one week of campaigning for a building fund of $75.000 showed an accumula- ton, by subscriptions of over $8.000 or more than one-tenth of the amount needed. Such report is sufficient assurance that the people of Bridgeport are rapidly taking advan- tage of their opportunity, unique as it may seem, to have an interest in the new building which will be erect ed for the Bridgeport Christian Un- ion in the near future
 The method of raising money for the cause is by selling the bricks with which the building is to be built, at $1 each, and within the next few days every house in the city will have been visited by brick sa1esmen.' It is expected that this canvass of the city will result in the accumulation of almost the total amount of money needed.
 The people of the city are being ap- peaIed to by the Christian Union be cause the work has grown so rapidly that it's present quarters are entirely inadequate, and because the Union is known to every resident of the city to be an institution which is worthy of assistance. The response of the peo- pie Of the city so far has been most noble, and there is every indication that the entire amount needed for the erection of the new building will be raised within the next four or five
