Thousands Here Are Just Half Sick And Need New strength Says
 wi|derb Tonic Expert.

Thousands of local folks are just half sick. They drag along from day to day without energy. They are not sick enough to go to their family phy- sician. but they lack the zest of life. The sheer joy of living is closed book to them" Such was the state ment made yesterday by the health expert at Hindle's, who has created widespread interest by his original ideas on health and hygiene. He con- tinued:
 You can't build a strong house on a weak foundation and you can't ex- pect good general health if you have a weak digestion. The stomach is the most important organ in the body, and the most abused. Modern methods of living are greatly responsible. The great majority of people do not take time to eat their food. They devour their meals as quick as they can and do not stop to chew their food prop erly They use no Judgment in the selection of foods good for them. Sandwiches, white bread, pie and other indigestible food are eaten with out thought as to results. Most city people eat indigestible foods. They wind up their dinner with ice cream which suddenly chills the stomach so that all digestion stops and the blood warns 1t up again until it reaches the normal body temperature of 9S 2-5 degrees. The stomach is the ther- mometer of your physical condition, it tells you immediately if it is abused either from eating or drinking. When the stomach warns you, take quick heed for serious results are bound to

MAJOR ADAMS IS HEAD SURGEON OF
 STATES MILITIA
Bridgeport Man High in Profession Throughout
 Country.
Especial to The Farmer)

Hartford, Oct. 31.-Circulars issued from the adjutant generals office to- day announce the appointment of Ma jor Frederic J. Adams, Medical Corps. Bridgeport, to be chief surgeon of the Connecticut National Guard. He is attached to the Connecticut Coast Ar tillery corps.
 Major Adams is one of the best known physicians and stands high in his profession in this country. He has been an officer in the Medical corps since 1908 when he entered the ser- vice and was attach ed to the old Third Infantry with rank of first lieutenant. He wears the bronze medal for 10 years faithful service and was advanc- ed rapidly through various grades un- til he became head of the Medical corps with the Coast Artillery. More than a year ago he was named by his associates as candidte for chief surgeon, but withdrew in favor of Ma jor Moulton of New Haven, who was elected. [ Major Adams Is a military authority on camp sanitation and hygiene and QaS lSIEUTCu O1l OLC olhbJOSL OOAOAO boards of medical officers, in the reg tlar, state and volunteer service. He has been the sanitary officer in charge of the field artillery camp at Toby hanna, Pa., as well as the camp of the Connecticut Coast Artillery at Fort H. G. Wright and has always been com plimented by regular army surgeons on the regulations which he imposed and maintained to conserve the health of the troops under his care.
 He was one of the examining sur geons who prepared Hhe troops of Con- necticut for their trips to the mobili- zation camps. He was in charge of the examination of the Yale batteries and assisted in their muster out after the return from Tobyhanna. He is very popular among the officers and men of the Coast Artillery and news of his promotion will be received with satisfaction.
 Lieut.. George B. Garlick will take command of the local corps and prob ably will be promoted captain. The promotion of Major Adams leaves a vacancy in the surgeons of the med ical corps which will probably be filed from Bridgeport.

SEE WOMAN IN ]. POLICE UNIFORM
 IN OUR PATROL
But It Was Only a Phone Operator, Masquerading, .
 Riding to a Party.

The feminine population of this city is today agog with excitement. Pros saic Bridgeport blazing tn trail in the east of woman's progress has a fe- male police officer? Yes! With their own eyes did not they see her sitting on the front seat of the patrol wagon, resplendent in gold badge, police cap with gold braid and a iaunty copper's coat, and short blue skirt
 As the wagon passed down Fair field avenue, across Main street at 8:30 last night, women shoppers gazed in amazement. The hope which springs eternal in the breast of the Connecticut suffragette, burned with fierce intensity as their eyes sur veyed the spectacle. The hidebound, reactionary, Republican machine ruled police department of this city had recognized the rights of women!
 But it was only trick, sisters You have been the victim of base decep- tion.
 Miss Ella c. McQueeney, the tele- ters, athletic of build, was simply tdhiHS h AlliO JoyIiue lO I1dlIOW- cen party, wearing the costume of one of Bridgeport's finest, borrowed for the occasion. Just to give her entrance a touch of realism she rode on the front seat of the patrol wagon.
 Sir Walter Raleigh had nothing on the members of the Bridgeport police department when it comes to gall lantry. So the scenery and props necessary for Miss McQueeney to startle the guests assembled to par ticipate in the Halloween festivities was furnished.
 The truth as above stated will rob an exponent of women's rights of joy today plunging the minto a slough of despond. But the truth is, there "ain't no sich thing" as woman police officer in Bridgeport.
