contract Infantile Paralysis. A friend Of hers had recommended 'Wilderbs' as tonic and she wanted to know just how Wilderbs destroyed germs.
 l explained to her that this medicine in full extract form was not a germ 1c1de or a cure-all and that 1t. was simply reconstruct1ve health tonic that tned up the stomach, liver and kidneys, increased the circulation of the blood and fortified it against any germ infection. That is just it's action in nutshell. Being purely product of herbs, roots and berries, it gently persuades, soothes and builds broken down tissue structure and acts as a general curative agent and fortifier of the human system. Of course, when the body is tuned up to it's highest efficiency rheumatism and catarrh cannot exist It is the theory that Wilderbs Gull extract), the great re- constructive tonic, is the direct remedy to overcome these conditions. Its ac- ton begins by stimulating the diges- tive organs, thereby enriching the
 blood and invigorating the whole sys- tenn. It enables the stomach to thor oughly digest the food thereby, per- mitting the assimilable products to , be converted into blood, bone and muscle. It renders the body vigorous and elastic, overcoming that great ex- citing cause of disease-weakness
 The "Wilderbs'' treatment keeps the
 mind active and clear and throws off the symptoms of nervousness and in digestion. Finally it builds up the constitution torn down and weakened by disease and mental and physical overwork, quickening convalescence and is source of comfort to those suffering with these troubles."-Ady.

Careful Investigation by statisticians and scientists in large manufacturing centers like Bridgeport has proven that only about 40 per cent. of work CTS are efficient. In most cases this lack of productiveness is directly due to an unsound physical condition and is traceable to decreased nerve force and vitality.
 Probably the most universal ail- ment is stomach trouble. It every where besets the man at the desk and foods and present day modes of liv- ing produce 1t. Hurried eating, lack of exercise and fresh air are the com mon causes.
 T. S. Jackson. pr. Pierce's Health during one of his public. lectures at Hindle's Main and State Sts. Store: Ut is astounding the number of cases of stomach trouble in one form or another right here in Bridgeport. It is all the more startling when one considers that unless the stomach performs its work of digesting what we eat the general condition of the system is weak-it is literally starved or run down. This leaves the organism liable to attack from all kinds of virulent diseases.
 We've all got to take into our system just so many disease germs. They're everywhere In the air we strong can survive and are able ro fight them off. The weak and run down are easy victims to their at- tacks. Only the other day a woman came in to see me and said she was all run down and afraid she might

SUSPECT NEGRO TRESPASSERS IN
 PROBE OF FIRE
Men Elected From Barn May Have Been Incendiaries,
 Assumption Is.

Investigation conducted today by Acting Chief Beardslee and Inspector Frederick of the fire department, it is believed, will show whether four ne- groes elected last night from Mercer & Lockwood's barn in Kossuth street started the fire in the stables that caused damage estimated at $1,700 and might have caused considerably more if the efforts of the firemen had not prevented its spread. Thirty-six horses in the stables were led out be- fore the flames reached the stalls. The coal pockets of the A. McNeil Coal Go. and the plant of the Salts Textile Manufacturing Co. were threatened but the f1remen kept the flames con- fined to the stables.
 During the fire, four different alarms were rung. The fire was dis covered in the hay loft minute or so after the watchman had elected four negroes who were sleeping there. Within five minutes alarms from three different boxes had been sent in and a half hour later someone turned in the fourth from the box at Stratford avenue and Kossuth street. The damage to the hay and contents of the stables is estimated at $1,200, while the damage to the building is believed to be about $500.
 Sparks from the stables set fire to the roof of the coal pockets. The blaze was extinguished before any damage was done. One floor of the textile plant was flooded when a hose that was being carried through the factory, burst.
 Police from the Second precinct station and several of the officers in civilian attire kept the crowds in check. While on the way to the fire,

Hogue during the first few weeks of the war.
 William Van Doorn, General Agent of the Holland-America line in the United States, who knows the North Sea well, said that the White Bank. near where the German fleet was sighted. is one of the small sand banks near the Dogger Bank which lies directly east of Scarborough and al- most midway of the normal traffic routes in the North Sea. It is situate ed about 35 miles off the coast of Hol- land. He said it was well known to fishermen because they were in the habit of fishing off the Dogger, Red and White Banks in the North Sea.
 According to Captain D. J. Roberts, Marine Superintendent of the Cunard Line, the White Bank is situated 25 miles west northwest of Peterhead, on the East Coast of Scotland. This bank, in one of the northernmost Scottish firths. is not believed to be the bank referred to in the stories of fishermen who saw the German High Seas Fleet.
