night to personally supervise the pre-
ventive measures which will be under
taken at once.
Because Of the spread of the disease
NUMBER Of the large cities are consid-
ering placing an embargo on the recep-
tion of children coming from the infect
ed zone In New York. Government Of
hcials are advising against such uuaran-
tine or inspection Of travel from New
York until the medical experts have an
ished their conferences and made an Of
ficial report on the situation and the i'm
mediate prospects of checking the plague.
The office of the public health service
has been flooded with teIexrams seek,nS
advice As to what preventive measures to
adopt, and the number of cities from
which they have been received indicate
that the entire country is aroused over
the epidemic.
Ban on Monkeys Lifted.
The Agricultural Department ves,srd.v
sufficiently lifted the ban on the exnorta,
ton of animals from the Phillipines To
permit the l5o monkeys awaiting ship
ment at Manila to be received in New
York for experimental purposes at the
Rockefeller Institute.
DR.. w. c. Rucker, assistant general
surgeon or the Public Health Service.
will return to Washington today with
definite information as to how the gov
ernment can assist in the present
epidemic. He probably will report TO
Congressional leaders tomorrow IL an ad-
ditional appropriation is deemed neces-
sary for the government medical corps.
Awaiting the arrival of Dr. Rucker are
hundreds of kilograms from health
officials throughout the country giving
specific Information as to the prevalence
Of the disease in other cisies.
The closing of the streets for play DUR
poses, prohibiting of children from at
tendance at moving pictures and public
gatherings, and the shutting down of the
Fairgrounds have caused much hard
ships in New York. but with the arrival
of the Red Cross nurses these preventive
measures are likely to be increased rather
than diminished.
So far as Washington is concerned. it
appears to be still immune from the dis
ease, according to the local health
officials The most practical and easiest
preventive measure for citizens of the
District to adopt is to swat the fly"
A fly is a carrier of the dreaded germ and
citizens are urged to aid the campaign
against the disease by ridding the cities
of these insects.

many blue signal lights, which les
sened in intensity as they descended.
finally vanishing from sight before
striking the earth. The whirr of the
motors was so loud that it was heard
in the home of w. T. Cole and at Cas-
tie Ronald, whose inmates came out
of doors and watched the strange Wis
itor until it's lights were lost in the
distance.
Everybody is town is excited over
the occurrence, but no explanation has
been so far offered as tic, the object of
the aerial visitor, where it came from,
or whittier it went. The story of the
presence of the mysterious aircraft
thorities, by a prominent citizen of
the town, with the request that the
matter be investigated.
In the meantime everybody is on the
iokout for another visitation, and a
largely augmented crowd was on New
town hills last night enjoying the
coasting and keeping a weather eye on
the sky, but SO far, nothing has been
reported of a return of the plane.

SAYS WAS A
GREAT HELP To
HIS WIFE.
Well Known Local Man SAYS
Some Good Words to the
Lax atone Man

A nice tribute was paid to -Lax-a-
Tone by Mr.. F. D. Botsford of r. F.
D., No. 8, Bridgeport. He said that
he wanted to thank Lax-aTone for the
good that had been done his wife who
had been a great sufferer from indiges-
ton and dyspepsia; that she had suf-
fered tortures with gas and b1oat; had
not been able to hardly eat a meal
without distress and pain and that he
was glad and willing to indorse it for
the reason that it might help some
other sufferer.
Such words as these are surely con-
vincing to most any one and they are
a daily occurrence at the Hartigan
Drug Store, where this remedy is be-
ing intr9duced. 1t is a PREPARATION
that will give relief and lasting at that,
to sufferers from torpid liver, nervous
ness, sick headaches and impoverish-
ed blood constipation, gas and bloat,
indigestion or dyspepsia.
The Lax-a-Tone man is at Hartigan's
Drug Store, 81 Fairfield avenue, near
Main street, where he is introducing
this remedy to the Bridgeport public.
