Wilderbs Leap to
 Fame Unique
Gull EXtracD Is Worth 8, Pound of Cure''

T. S. Jackson, health lecturer and assistant to Dr. Pierce. famous on two continents for his medical and sur gical skill, has made a record for himself here in Bridgeport as he does in every city he visits. He has been accepted in business and fraternal circles and has proved to be an hon. est, open minded business man of pleasant personality and good charac- ter In an interview yesterday MT. Jackson said:
 'I class Bridgeport among the live cities of the country. My calculations are based not only on the amount and quality of manufactures there but by the way the citizens respond to honest advertising. In my talks with some of the leading merchants here we have agreed that dollar for dollar Bridge port people are good spenders when they know they are getting value re- ceived. -t
 
 other live cities throughout the coun- try talking to thousands of people. It is a standard of value that is abso lute."
 [ Our new super-tonic, Wilderbs Gull extract), the medicine that has been building up countless run down men and women throughout the country is meeting with the same big, steady de- mand here that it has in other repre- sentative cities. The treatment has merit and the people know it. We have secured their confidence by cit ing instances from time to time of re- markab1e results obtained by home people after everything else failed.
 The. longer we stay in city the greater the volume of business, be- cause one tells another how good the medicine is and the people keep com ing to me in ever increasing numbers. Since my arrival here a little more than two months ago we have dispos- ed of almost 5000 bottles which is a record dare say, that eclipses the in- troduction of any other similar medi- cine here. I propose to stay at Hindle's Main and State streets store at least six months longer, but when it is inconvenient to call and talk with me personally, the medicine can be obtained at the other store next to the Arcade.

my stomach takes to almost anything eat now. consider the Wilderb treatment a wonderful medicine and it is all the more remarkable how quickly it helped me when all others Tailed. I unhesitatingly recommend 1t to all others suffering from back ache and stomach trouble the way I did. The backache has vanished and that old tired feeling has entirely left me. I feel that am fast becoming my old self again and expect to be back on the job in a few days.'

AMUSEM NJ ENTS.
At tho Strand.

Lionel Barrymore appeared at the
Strand in motion pictures Friday night
in a production entitled "The Up
heaval." stirring story in which love,
politics, and adventure are all FUR
nished in good portions. The versa
tility of the younger brother of John
Barrymore is strongly brought forth in
this picture. which has scenes ranging
from tense tragedy to light and pleas
ing comedy
Politics is the main theme of the
production. Barrymore takes the part
of Jim Gordon, son of a big politician,
who attempts to take his fathers du-
ties on bis own shoulders. Jim is de-
termined that there shall be no graft
connected with his activities, however.
and it is here that he gets into trouble.
Incidentally, at first he meets a young
girl. who is anxious to do charity work
among the slums. She finds that her
father owns some disreputable tene-
ments, but marries Jim, altho still
thinking him CRATER.
In big climax, with what is termed
by the advertisements smashing
finish, Jim vindicates himself in the
eyes of the world and his wife, and
there is a strong prospect Of happiness
at the end. Acting is one Of the best
| things the Barrymore family does and
the performance given by Lionel in
this production speaks well for his flu
ture. Marguerite Skirvin and we'll
chosen cast support him creditably.

James Somers, a neighbor going py
at about 4:3O, had seen Walter on top

KEEP ON COLLECTING HEADS
Out Barbarous Custom, 1t Con-
tinues in Existence.

The head-hunting Igorotes of LuZon,
whom Uncle Sam has almost broken
Of this bad habit, are not the only saw
ages in the world who delight in col
lecting specimens of the heads of their
enemies. The head-hunters of the
great Island of BOrneo are so given to
the practice that, so far, nothing has
been able to make them give it up, and
villages will make war on each other
for the express purpose of getting
heads with which to decorate their
houses. sesf
In Java and Sumatra, also, there are
tribes of head-hunters, who carry on
their savage warfare continually,
fighting more for the sake of taking
heads than for any other reason.
In the little-known regions of east
ern Peru and Ecuador there exists n
race of Indians who kill their enemies
with poisoned darts shot out of blow
guns, and these also are head-hunters
They not only cut off the head of a
fallen enemy as trophy, but they cure
1t by secret process after removing
the bones, and it shrinks until it is not
larger than doubled-up fist.
The Peruvian and Ecuadorian gov
ernments have forbidden the sale of
these heads, in which the Indians used
to do a considerable business with
strangers, and have made laws against
head-hunting, but the wild Indians
with the blow-guns and poisoned darts
do not care much about laws, and still
pursue their revolving practice.
