The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-02-11

I have had a bad case of stomach and kidney trouble, my stomach would turn sour after eating and distress me, had a pain. continually through the lower portion of my stomach, was bothered with be1ching and gas pains. My back was lame and sore from my kidneys and felt continually tired out and could not seem to get rested. have taken Tax-a-Tone and must say that I cannot too highly indorse this preparation to all. It is surely worthy of it's popularity.
 The Lax-a-Tone man is at Harti- gan's Drug Store, 81 Fairfield avenue, near. Main street, where he is introduc- ing this remedy to the Bridgeport pub lie. He will remain every Saturday night until 10 o'clock to see those un- able to call during the day.-Adv.

Daniel Boone Now Included in Americas
 Hall of Fame

Daniel Boone, whose birth anni- versary falls tomorrow, is one, of those heroes whose fame, far from declining, increases with the passing of the years. As the people of North America become softened by cfvili- zation, the hardships endured and the dangers braved by the pioneers loom ever larger and more praiseworthy. The Boones, the Marcus Whitmans, the Alexander Mackenzies-to name but three among a muItitude-wiIl increase in stature as the years car ny us farther and farther from that era when the West was still a. will derness into which heroes plunged, and where only the fittest survived it's trials.
 The latest of many honors confer red upon Daniel Boone was his cleo tion last October to place among the immorta1s in the American Hall of Fame in New York. It is true that he received the smallest vote of the seven admitted to the hall by the last election, but it is safe to say that he would have surpassed all the candidates in popularity if the vote had been cast by the whole people, instead of by a chosen few electors. Every schoolboy is familiar with the life history of Daniel Boone, while it is probable that few could give the reasons for the inclusion in the Hall of Fame of Francis Parkman, J Joseph Henry. Rufus Choate or Char lotte Cushman.
 Boone was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, on February II, .17S5- His youth was spent in North Caro- lima, but his great fame was gained in Kentucky, where he helped to lay the foundation for a pioneer civi1iza- ton which produced, among other great men, Abraham Lincol nand Jeff ferson Davis.
 Both North Carolina and Kentucky have erected memorials to Boone. One of the most interesting of these shrines is at Holman's Ford, near Salisbury, N. C., marking the exact site of the Boone hom eStead, where young Daniel spent nineteen years of his bOyhOod and young manhood A log cabin is said to be an exact replica of the one in which the Boone family lived has been erected on the spot, and in front of it stands a granite shaft, forming an Indian arrow head fifteen feet in height and mounted upon a massive base. The bronze tablet on the monument bears the dates of Boone's residence in North Carolina. Many interesting relics of the great pioneer have been collected by the Daniel Boone Memorial Association, which was incorporated in North Carolina in 1909. In the Boone cab in are antique guns, hunting knives, poWOer hOFnS, cOoklnS uIenSI1S, ar t:cIes of clothing, and other memen- tos of the days when young Boone fought the skulking redskins who then wager war on the white settlers in that part of the world.
 On the bank of the Yadkin river, not far away, is Boone's Cave, where Daniel and other members of the Boone family retreated when closely pressed by the savages. In Davie county, which adjoins the county con taining the Boone memorial, the re- mains of Daniels father and mother are buried. The old Joppa cemetery near the village of Mocksvi1le, is the last resting place of the parents of the hero. In order to save the old

Edison, Prince of Inventors Begins
 7Oth Year Today

Thomas Ava Edison will begin his seyentieth year today, as he was i born in Milan, Ohio, Feb. II, 1S47. Standing at the thresold of three score-and-ten, the prince of inventors shows no dininution in the remark able physical and intellectual energy which has characterized his career. Eating little, sleeping less, working often for twenty hours at stretch MT. Edison might say, in the language Of the once invincibIe and mucII-bat- tered MT. Battling Nelson, CT ain't human" The sage of West Orange ertertains TO such notion, however, and insists that all men could get tran they consider necessary, an'I that it is worry, not work, thc 1t wears out the human machine. Ad- r21tting that he is not invinc!hic 70 the ravages of Father Time, the in Ventnr still holds that he should be able to pass the. century mark. After that--WelI, MT. Edison will need a rest, enc woh- l think, and he believes that he will get it. Humber and less usttul men f5ndiy treasure the ida that their c2n+inued individual cx- istence is necessary inthe scheme of thinks, but the Edisonian intellect calro iy diSnni sscs such a notion as .ab- S2lYd and base1ess MT. Ediso:l ap-. parnntly believes that men share the fate Of little dog Rover, who, as is Well knOWn,. when ne O1eC was -0C!<U all over.''
 The famous inventor, while a man Of peace, has become the chairman cf the civilian inventions board, 70 serve the navy in an advisory capacity eSarding plans for the deveIoprnent Of Uncle Sans national defense. In the past MT. Edison, has rnanifestcd little interest in warlike inventions, but if the United States should be confronted with war during his life t-1ne, his intellect would probably be worth many regiments. The inven- tors storage Batteries were in use on the submarine E-2, which recently exploded with considerable loss of life.
 MT. Edison has little hope that the era of universal peace will be ushered in at any early date. Science will make war increasingly terrible, bit he does not hope that this will serve to put an end to such conflicts. He forsees a time when the machinery of destruction will be perfected to the point where i've can be moving down men by the thousands-or even millions-almost by pressing but ton.''

SERVE WARRANTS
 AGAINST 69 IN NEUTRALITY CASE

San Francisco, Feb. 1.-The serv- ing of warrants upon the men and firms named in the 61 indictments re- turned by the federal grand jury yes terday in the so-calIed neutrality and bomb plot cases is set for today and it is said that most of those indicted will appear in court to give bond for their appearance when the eases come up for trial.
 Franz Bopp, German consul, general, and the vice-consul, Eckard H. Won Schack, are to be served with war rants but as a courtesy to the govern ment they represent, they will not be required to furnish bonds. Bonds m the case of the alleged neutrality vio- lations were fixed at 1000 on each count, and in the case of the so-ca1led bomb plots at $2, 800.
 William F. Boyce, assistant United States immigration commissioner here, and 26 others, including immigration officers, employees of the Pacific MaiA company and a custom house broker are also to be arrested today on charges of conspiracy to smuggle Chi nese into the United States.
