YOUR HEALTH
Don't Endanger it With
caIomeI

1t is generally agreed by experts
in this country and Europe that ca
lionel has a very violent effect on
the system. This accounts for the
familiar ~disagreeable feeling accom-
panying a dose, and the weakened
condition following it.
Liv-Ver.Lax is a harmless vegeta-
BILE compound, that is a mild, but eff
fective substitute for calomel. It
has all the effectiveness, but not tho
effect, of calomel. Its splendid VAL
ue has brought it into such wide use
that in some states it has almost en-
tirely replaced calomel.
Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once, and
never use calomel again. In

of the woods we beheld the columns

sight to US green boys, fresh from
the cotton fields of Carolina, were
these ranks of men in blue flowing
like a river, their thousands of bayo-

silvered mirrors.

Hotel Guests In
 Fright As Alcohol Blazes Up In Room

Fire caused by the explosion of a pint of denatured alcohol in the room occupied by pr. N. Archboid. at the Atlantic hotel today caused great ex- citement among the guests of the hos tlery and an alarm of fire from Box 315 at 1 40 p.
 The blaze, which was confined to room IS, where it burned a portierre between the par1or and bedroom of the suite and small holes in the carE net. did damage estimated at less than $1O.
 Manager Robert Deane and Terrence Lee and other attaches of the hotel did much in restoring the confidence of guests and aided Dr. Archbo1d in extfnguishing the bisxing alcohol and curtain before the arrival of tt1e fire department.
 Dr. Afchbo1d explained to the man agernent that he kept the denatured spirits in his room for experimental purposes and that through oversight an electric pressing iron became short cfrcuited' while in close proximity to the bottle. He was some distance from the burning fluid at the time and thus escaped personal iD jury.

Knight, superintendent of the New England Home. for Little Wanderers, and the subsequent opening of branch offices of that society here, gave MT.

 MT. Gordon has had several clashes with. officials of various charitable so- cieties here as well as with city offi- cials. It is known that he has been getting ready to step down for several weeks.
 Officers of the New England Home for Little Wanderers are making prep arations for an active campaign in this county. Mrs. wheaton said today that a field corps of five or more workers vii be employed in the county within short time. The society, which is heavily endowed, has for it's aim the placing of dependent children in private homes.
 Mrs. Wheaton says that her short stay in Bridgeport has revealed that there is here "a great he1d'' for the work of the society," and already, she says, a number of applications have been received. The applications must be carefully investigated, both as to the children who may become wards of the society, and as to the homes in which they smight be placed.
 The society has offices in all the New England states. except Rhode Island. and maintains a study horne', in Boston. The office here is the first to be opened in Connecticut.
