Y. M. c. A.

There are many mothers in the city of Bridgeport today who arevery much worried about getting the best results mentally, physically and morally from their boy. The reason that many of them fail in this attempt is simply because they do not und erstand the periods in a boys life that he has to pass through The Bridgeport Boys Department of the Y. M. c. A. extends an invitation to all mothers on Wednesday afternoon, Dec 22,4 at 2:30 p. m., to listen to lecture on t'The Making of Manhood'' by pr. F. N. Seer1ey. dean of Springfield Y M. c. A. college. Here will be a splen- did opportunity to better understand your boy Dr. Seer1ey is ranked among the specialists on the boy problem and will be well worth lis tening to- It is hoped that even though this week is one offthe busiest weeks that no mother who is inter ested in her boy will miss this rare opportunity Tickets for admission ment or by call on the telephone Admission free.

1HILDRERS TOYS IN FRANCE or MILITARY
 TYPE STORES SHOW

Paris, Dec 21-The present hoh- day season finds the French toy-shops stocked, probably for the first time in four years. with toys exclusively of French nanufacture The Germans with what was practically a monopoly sn toys, for1der1y exported into France some $4s006. GOO worth of toys every year. particularly 1eaden sol adferSs and do1I heads
 It is probably also true that the children of France. who form an army of some 5, 100000 were never so thor ough1y equipped with war toys as they will be- this year There is no evil dence from the stores that the pre- paratIons for the Christnas and New Year celebrations are any less elabor- ate than usual, and it is everywhere noticed that the windows and shelves are filled with aeropIanes, Zeppe1fns, hfY1d grenadess forts, rifles, pistols. sabres. machine guns. cannon and soldiers dressed in uniforms of the British, Russian. Italian and French armies and German soldiers too. for opponents The o1d-tine pla ythings of children have entirely disappeared from the stores. The children will not have. anything that isn't modelled for. warfare. So warlike are the girls that the toys of the boys serve for 1hem also, save for the dolls and even they, instead of wearing their usual finery of silks and satins, are plainly dressed as Red Cross nurses with whole outfits of bandages and sur gical instruments at their disposal.
 A surprising fidelity to truth and fact is shown in all the war. toys. for if the toys were not so made they would not sell All the children are thoroughly yersed in military affairs and they must have everything faith sfuK to detail. Even the tiny guns Shoot the searchEgnts shine and the sbarbed wire for the trenches really sclits.
 z The favorite outfit appears to be 4hat of a mine and trench construct 4ion toy which, when properly put ftogether, constitutes an entire set nof French and German trenches.

PROSPERITY
 TO AFFECT EMIGRATION

Christiania, Dec. 21-The Scandina- vian countries lately have been can Yassed by agents of foreign countries trying to engage skilled 1aborers, es- ipecially for the manufacture of a~o- r1unitionI and sadd1ers. The result has not been very remarkable, as op- portunities for skilled Iaborers at home are greater than ever. Only a few iron workers have left Norway for England to work in ammunition plants during the last six months.
 The good labor conditions here will also affect the ef1li igration to the Uni ted tes-which is expected to be much smaller this year than in former years.

One goes to the corner saloon and

to his family drunk, and with So IN
his pocket, while the other goes to

DRINK WATER.

Drink when you get up.
Drink when you go to bed.
Drink half an hour before meals.
Drink, not "booze," but water.
Such is the advice given by the
health department of New York in
a bulletin recently issued.
DR.. G. T. Goldman, who handed
out the bulletin, is stated to have
given the additional information
that it applied to everybody. He
said it represented the views OF the
new Commissioner, DIR. Emerson,
and that every man. woman and
child would profit by following
the advice
The bulletin adds the suggestion;
"Drink six or eight glasses of water
day. A glass Of cool water before
meals is the best appetizer. :"
We have heard and seen many
testimonials in favor of water as 9
beverage and medicine from time
to time, and there is no room tc
doubt that Providence is providing
it so abundantly, meant it to bt

externally. 1t is an inexcusabI'
fault if the human race shows an.
disposition to neglect the use of it
