The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-10-21


 Mrs. Leonard Thomas of Newp ort and New York, who was chosen to lead the monster suffrage parade in New York on Oct. 23, has been one of suffrage's most active representa- tives in society. She has spoken for suffrage, written for suffrage and col lected money for suffrage. About the parade Mrs. Thomas said: s'To the novice it is a more difficult matter to march for suffrage than onlookers realize. Women are inherently tim i'd, and facing the public in 9 big suffrage demonstration is something of an ordeal for the woman who has never won her spurs in g. suffrage par ade. However. every suffragist must consider the good of the cause and not personal inclination at this crucial hour. It is not enough to believe in suffrage in a passive fashion; we must stand up and be counted for our con victions in the parade" The other Wonansin the picture is Mrs. Nora De Forest, one of the leading suffragists of New York.

GEORGE MAY READY DISL0CAT0R ASSERT MEN OF MEDICINE
He Never Can Tell When One of His Shoulders Is
 Going Out of Joint.

An odd medical case presented itself to the attention of physicians in this city today when George May, a resident of New York, temporarily located in Bridgeport, applied for treatment at Lakeview home today, following an accident on Asylum street.
 May, who was treated by Dr. J. J. Mcdonald, superintendent of Lake view home, said that while walking along the road towards the Fischer reduction plant he had thrown his shoulder out of joint.
 It was found that he had suffered 8 dislocaHon of the right arm, and it was expected that the resetting of the bones would be extremely pain ful. May experienced no pain dur ing the operation, smiling at those who worked oyer him. He later said that his case is chronic, dislocations happening on the average of once a month.
 Medical men to whom the case was reported suggest that such a case is extremely rare in human beings all though often encountered in horses which throw 3, joint known as the "stifie" frequently when either ex- treneiy young or advancing in age May gave his age as 26 years.

ELM CITY. 5

The first to plant elns in the streets of New Haven, and thus lay the foundation for the Connecticut City's fame as the s'Eln City," was James Hillhouse, who was born 161 years ago today, and died in New Ha- ven in 1882. He was a graduate of Yale, and treasurer of that institu- tion for nearly half a century. He took an active part in the revolution, and afterward was United States Sem ator from Connecticut for 16 years. His son, James Abraham Hi1Ihouse, poet and dran1atist, won favorable attention at home and abroad by ohis literary work. It was the elder Hill house who planted the elm trees in the ceptra1 square and surrounding streets of New Haven, and in the vii cinity of the Yale buildings, which have now become "a classic feature of the city and it's famous university. Few finer memorials have been achieved by any man than by the Connecticut statesman who, by plant ing trees, insured for himself the grateful remembrance of posterity.

The En- peFoB sent a military guard of honor, and besides send message of eulogy made offerings, fulfilling Japanese custom, of five rolls of white silk and several wreaths.
 The passing of Marquis Inouye, which leaves only three elder states men, has raised the question of Wheth CT Premier Count 0lxun7a will be call ed upon later to enter the dwindling band of men who are more than ever the power behind the throne" Ok umaand Innuye were fast friends though they sometimes eiashed on na- tionaI politics.
 Prince Ito has gene,V He went on; sfnouye had a temper, and he created unnecessary enemies but at heart he was entirely Aind-heaFted and sympa- thatie. He was a, man of Invisible de- termination. He hated some of these superficial so-eaI1ed 'high-eolIaF men. Nevertheless he was liberal in his ideas, and contributed invaluable ser vice to his country in the great pre- gresstve movement of the Meiji Era.''
 The premier related with a touch of huEnor how he and Countess Ok una were responsible for the mar riages of the Marquis and Marchioness Inauyes "HThee Countess said the pre- rnfer, made the prospective bride groom promise that he would love his wife dearly. This was committed to writing and the late Prince Ito and the present Marshal Prince Yama- gata acted as witnesses. This precious document is still in the hands of Okuna.'

TRAINING RURAL MINISTERS

The Presbyterian church is main taining a Country Life department to train rural ministers. Nearly every
 denomination is doing som ething along this line. It is felt that young cIergymen should notNlook at a coun-
 try parish merely as a stepping stone
 to some large city salary. Such good
 can well afford to pay flor it.
 Country ministers used to preach long sermons about justification and election. Hearers with a. taste for
 casuistry were interested. Others slept. The preacher spent a big share of his time in the study, getting ready
 to annfhilate the next heresy. Some people believe the country
 minister should be competeut to ad- wise his people about breeding hogs i as we'll aa saving souls. That is per haps asking one man to spread him. self out too thin. Still, it is doubtfu 1 if it pays him to spend more than an hour. or two a day in book study. Per haps not as much as that. Let him get noresof his Illustrations from the experiences of his parfshioners.
 The great trouble with country life Is lack of Initiative. The community is -diserganfzed. Every one works hard, and many necessary function are not performed. If the minister Edoes not dig too deep at books, if the rheumatic old ladies don't demand too much consolation, he should be able to boost along public causes.
 The. time spent in coaching an
 amatelF play may not be wasted. He might not be contaminated by run ming 8 dance. If these enterprises keep the young people out of the roWdy line on the street corner, they { serve their day and generation. The ff fT7+z4 much g room lined with books, as the
 fields and shops and halls where men and women work and play.
 Yet a minister must nacer stop thinking. His must be an orfginat- ing. initiating mind. The routine i worker takes to books because it is easier to horreWkid than to create them. But the ministers own parish 1 toners have ideas, and very practical { ones too, BerroW few of theseS

Why tonic the body and neglect
 the teeth ? 7

Have you stomach trouble or indigestion? Are you run down? Do you need tonic? Don't you think that what your body needs is more and better nourishment, rather than physics and stimu1ants? No doubt you eat enough, but do you eat properly? Do you chew your food thoroughly? You do not you cannot--if you have missing or decayed teeth
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-10-21

Instead you swallow your food without proper mastication, and force the burden of chewing it'' upon your stomach--a task that nature never intended for it. Let me put your teeth in condition to properly do the work for which they were intended. Let good teeth be your tonic and if your stomach or dys- pepsia is not greatly relieved.
