Leonard Asheim explained that the painters had made a mistake in their figures and would lose money. Com missioners Bell and Goddard said 1t was unfair to other bidders to allow the contractors to change their bid.
 The board voted in favor of pr. Godfrey's motion accepting the amended bid.
 Superintendent Slawson called at tention to the delay of the contrac- tors in finishing the alterations to the Clinton avenue school. He said under the rate the work was progressing it would be Easter vacation before the school is completed. Architect Asheim said that the contractors were handicapped in not being able to get laborers and that often ten ma sons reported when there was only one laborer to assist them.
 Superintendent Slawson said that he considered Assistant Superintendent Smith the best judge Of equipment which might be needed for the pre- vocational school. He said the board had purchased a range for use there which was not at all fitted for the work. He recommended that the range be sold for what it will bring and new one bought He said there are already about 800. applica- tions for enrolment in the pre-voca- tional school.

Another Bridgeport Woman Stops Acid Stomach With 7Wi|derbs'-

Mrs. Mary Morey,A residing at 279 Cannon street, is another of the scores of Bridgeport people who are adding their words of endorsement to sswuderbs3 Gull extraet) the remark able new stomach tonic now being in- troduced hera.
 tT think as long as the stomach is good d person is well; for if 1t goes back on you. lookout. For a long time I have suffered with heartburn and acid stomach and the doctors told me I had kind of kidney trouble, too, the uric acid made my joints ache and pain so. I am a great lover of fruit and think the acid in the fruit helped cause the trouble. Anyway. l finally kept getting worse and had to be careful what I ate. Wilderbs was so highly recommended I decided: to try some. It is certainly great medi- cine for the stomach and kidney trouble and acts quickly. Two weeks ago finished the bottle and haven't had bit of stomach trouble since. l believe it has cured 1t for good.
 lj My joints are timber now, and aches and pains gone. My husband Is taking 1t for a tonic, and itNis building him up fast. He is always hungry and will, I'm afraid, eat me out of house and home"

full and unstinted provision she has made for the relief of the diseases to which our flesh is heir Nto. Great as they are, the riches in fruitful fields and fertile mines pale into insignifi- canoe when compared with the harm less health restoratives that are the bequest of Nature.
 'In spite of his truly wonderful triumphs in the domain of invention man has never succeeded in matching Nature in the production of remedial agents! He reaches the uttermost limits of his resources when he suc- ceeds in making a good imitation. Ever since the dawn of human history it has been known that Natures great est gifts to the sick were the herbs, plants and roots to be found growing abundantly in various sections of the world. The remedial properties of these forest plants were discovered centuries ago. In grandmother's time they were used almost entirely. Stat istics show the percentage of sickness was lower then than in the present day and more quickly overcome. Modern civilization has been duped into taking chemical and mineral drugs, which often do more harm than good, because they fare cheaper and can be made with less trouble. 'Wilderbs,' the new plant tonic restor- ative that Aas taken Bridgeport by storm, is not a laxative and is not to be compared with other medicines that simply move the sbowels and do no more. It is new scientific com bination of thesd fashioned forest plants and owes its tremendous popu- larity to its quickness and sureness in overcoming disease ."'-Adv.

Appeal to Wipe
Out Party Deficit
Gets oodResponse

Interesting details of the task of
wiping out the national campaign
deficit were made public today by
Treasurer Wilbur w. Marsh of the
democratic national committee.
Mr.. Marsh talked very freely about
the work in which he and his as
sociates are now engaged. Believing
il to be a subject in which the pub
lie is vitality concerned. he permitted
a glance through the responses to
the committees appeal for funds
which sheds a most interesting light
upon the sources and character of
the contributions received up TO the
present time.
He pointed out that the commit
tee was particularly grateful for the
spontaneous and hearty response
from independent citizens who had
received no party advantages in a
political sense. from the democratic
party in the past and expected none
in the future. These contributors,
he added. were prompted solely by
an abiding sense of patriotism and
gave in a spirit of genuine gratitude.
An impressive feature OF the con-
tributiOns up TO date is that many
are from citizens who are under no
obligations TO the party for any past
political favors.' continued Mr..
Marsh
They strikingly express the deep
feeling of gratitude over the re-
election OF Pres't Wilson entertained
by independent citizens throughout
the country They are in a sense
thank offerings by American voters
who feel both pride and honor in the
opportunity of thus personally par
ticipating in democracy's triumph.
These voluntary contributions from
citizens upon whom We had no claim
in a party sense are, Of course, very
pleasing 70 US.
