''W1lQerDS' (Iull eXtrdCL 10 the peOple of Bridgeport recently said: Every once in while someone proves that the day of miracles is not past. The wonderful progress in medicine made within the past few years proves it. Diseases that our mothers thought in-
 curable are now cured by modern scientific methods. It is difficult, al- most impossible to overestimate the importance of recent advances in
 medicine and surgery. In surgery there Is the application of the X-ray in determining complicated bone frac- lures. In medicine there is the serum treatment for virulent germ diseases and further the extended use of 'wilderbs' Gull extract) in the treat ment of the many disorders arising from stomach fermentation and inr testinal indigestion. This class of ail- ments probably causes more suffering and earlier deaths than the majority of other similar causes. Even in this age of wonder working marvels of medicine the rapid and sure way in which 'Wilderbs' (full extract) finds it's way from the stomach and bowels is probably the reason it is called the Super Tonic Ancient miracles were contrary to natural laws whereas tWilderbs' in it's full strength form is designed to do it's work from a better of the natural causes of disease.

PROFITS OF HOADLEY CONCERN
 WERE DIVERTED
Lawyer Testifies Funds Were Spent for Babies RattleS
 and Nightshirts.

Stockholders of the American & British Manufacturing Co. who have been wondering why there were no dividends on the large and lucrative munitions contracts obtained by that concern under the Hoadley manage ment, were interested yesterday in the testimony in the west side court of New York that profits had gone to pay for such articles as babies rat ties, night shirts. automobile access sories and the upkeep of big steam yacht, the Alabama.
 That developed when Karl T. Fred erick. a lawyer of the firm of Sa,tter- lee, Garfield & Stone, 49 Wall street, counsel for the new management of the munitions concern, and John J. Kennedy, an agency detective, were arraigned on charge of disorderly conduct, having attempted to seize the yacht last week while it was at anchor in the Hudson river.
 MT. Frederick produced records to show that the American & British Manufacturing O. had purchased the yacht and that the Alabamas registry at the Customs House shows it to be owned by that company. MT. Free erick explained that the effort to ob- tain possession was preliminary to a legal action.
 To prove further that the company owned the yacht MT. Frederick testi- fled that Joseph H. Hoadley, who re- gently was busted from control of the company, and the Hoadley family had made many purchases in large stores which had been charged to the &C., count of the Alabama and that the < American & British Co. had paid the bills.
 Articles purchased included babies rattles, tires for, automobiles, night shirts for a large man, bed coverings medicine and many other articles.
 MT. Hoadley testified that he had owned the yacht, and to prevent creditors from seizing it heNhad sold it to the ADerican & British Manu- featuring Co. for $1.' Mrs. Hoadley, who asked the arrest of MT. Freder- ick and the lawyer, testified that she owned the yacht and presented what purported to be a bill of sale, but admitted that she never paid any of the bills for the vessel, that her hus- band always attended to that. |
 Chief Magistrate M6Adoo, who heard the case, discharged the lawyer and the detective, and when Mrs. Hoadley had left the court a summons and complaint were served upon her in an action for $25s0oo damages for having caused the arrest of the law yer and the detective. The aHega- ton was false arrest.

ro make . descriptive survey a

To make a descriptive survey and report back to the common council the advisability of purchasing the property at Madison and Washington avenues as Ia site for the proposed public welfare building, President F. w Behrens, Jr., of the Charities board; President Frank W. Stevens of the health board and City Attorney William H. Comley, Jr., were appoint ed a committee at the council meeting last night The property has front age of 10S feet in Madison avenue and about 60 feet in Washington avenue. It is p3oposed to have the health and charities offices ip this building as well as the clinics Which are to be
 maintained by the health department.
 On motion of Alderman Blakeslee, committee of three was named last night to inquire into the advisability of obtaining the block bounded by Main, John, Bank and Broad streets Fully half of, this area includes the former site of the North Congregation alz church.

The city owns the, public library building at Main and John streets but wants to sell it and find another location for the li- brary The other buildings on the property are most of old construc-i tion.s 't-e
 Alderman Blakeslee says. he be- lieves if the block is purchased land cleared there will be plenty of room for magnificent city hall with room for all offices including the board of education. There would be room for a plaza as well. The present city han might be retained and made a hall of records to house the town clerk and the probate court.
