 This is a delightful affair, made of alabaster, no less-and modelled after the carved baths of the old Romans.

 @ VEN more attractive than the K comfortable chaise tongue, for an N enclosed porch, is the day bed, long, low and made of wicker, with foot and head supports of wicker which give the long couch something the effect of davenport when pushed up against wall and piled with pill lows. A tufted cushion covered with cretonne fits into the day bed and bol- ster rolls fit into each of the ends. One of these wicker day beds will be an ideal lounging place on the sum- mer porch or in the summer bedroom, and there is formality about the wicker-supported couch with it's curved wicker ends that makes it suitable also for the bungalow living room,

There is a distinct leaning toward the f1uffily feminine in blousewear, these days; even the SUD- posedly tailored models break out into scallops at collar and cuff, or compro- mise with fashion by decorations of hemstitching that break up plain spaces of material.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Con. vince Any Bridgeport
 Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When a man comes for ward and testifies to his fellow citi- zens, addresses his friends and neigh bors. you may be sure he is thorough ly convinced or he would not do SO. Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kind ness that should be appreciated The following statement given by resi- dent of Bridgeport adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being published about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it.
 John Unfried, 257 Coleman street, Bridgeport, says: "A cold, which set tied on my kidneys caused backache I could not stoop over because a sharp pain shot through my kidneys and I was unable to arise without assist ance. The action of my kidneys was too frequent and the kidney secretions were highly colored. I had dizzy spells and headaches. I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and two boxes cured me-"

JEWISH HOLIDAYS START TONIGHT
 WITH SUND0WN
Feast of Rosh Hashanah
 Will Be Generally Observed.

Shutdown to-day the first day of the Jewish month Tishri, will mark the be- ginning of the Jewish High Holidays. These holidays of deep religious sig nificance, will commence with the feast of Rosh Hashanah or New Year. The of Penitence, which reach their climax in the Day of Atonement, October 7th.
 "On the New Year all the inhabi- tants of the earth pass before Him as sheep before a shepherd" In these words the ancient Jewish law book, the Mishna, refers to the significance of this day. It is a day of Judgment when the sins and the merits of all men are weighed by the Divine Judge. The TaLmud tells that in this annual New Year's Judgment scene three books lie open before the Most High.
 In one book, the Book of Life, the names of the perfectly righteous, the sinless, are inscribed; the second book the book of death has recorded in it the names of the utterly wicked; and the third book is for the ordinary middle type" of men, in whose be- half judgment is suspended through the ten days of penitence, until the Day of Atonement when the decision IS finally made and recorded.
 The services for the day are espec- ialiy solemn. Prayers in prose and poetry, dwelling upon the theme Of Gods Judgment of man, are recited and sung. The Rams horn, the 'Sho- far," summoning men to prayer and repentance, is sounded in all syna- gogues. At the close of the service the worshippers greet each other with the words "may you be written down for a good year."
 Orthodox Jews observe many cere- monies which suggest the ideas. and emotions of the day. In the home honey and fruits are eaten and the pious wish expressed "may it be Thy will to renew to us a good and sweet year." During the day orthodox Jews will go to a river. shake crumbs from their clothes and recite among other prayers the verse from Micah, "and you will cast into the depths Of the sea all their sins"
 While orthodox Jews observe the feast for two days, September 27 and 2S this year, Reform Jews return to the ancient Palestinian customs and observe but one day.

BURGLAR CAUGHT.

One of the thieves who made the raid on the good people of Fairfield on Monday night, has been caught and. is now safely confined in the Jail in fhis city. There were two en- gagged in the affair and they, it seems, went down on the first train from Southport, on Tuesday, each with a large bag well filled with the most valuable part of their plunder. Per sons at the depot in Southport at the time noticed them, but as the rob- fbery had then been made known no effort, of course, was made to stop them. On Wednesday afternoon the same parties came up with empty bags and stopped at Southport. Sus- picion was at once aroused and a sharp watch was kept on the fellows, woh started off on the railroad track towards Fairfield. At a point about midway between Southport and Fair field they took to the bushes After short time they emerged with we'll filIed bags and by circuitous routes reached the depot at Southport. They were pursued and one of them was closely cornered but drew a revolver and escaped The other one returned. however, to the depot at about 5 o'clock but was recognized and ar rested by M. Osborne, assisted by oth- CTS.

PUBLIC OPINION
To. the Editor of Inc Farmerr

To. the Editor of Inc Farmerv Some people entertain the idea that the U-boat and the great destruction of foodstuff is the cause Of the high cost of living.
 Now, it is a mattel of history that the Graft had sent prices soaring years before the U-boat started the game of plumber and the sinking of ships loaded with fooustuff.
 For a number of years this country was blessed with enormous harvests. The President and the Governor each sent out a Thanksgiving day procla- nation. The next week the papers proclaimed that flour had advanced 50 cents barrel. Scarcity? No, the greedy old plutocrats were out with their Graft robbing the peopie. This year the harvest is poor compared to the bumper harvests of other years and vast quantities of foodstuffs have been sold for profit to other countries, hence the enormous increase in the already high cost of living.
 In spite of the awful grind of pov- erty that curses humanity in most parts of the world. there is enough for all, but the manner of distribution is far from being up-to-date.
 What old Mother Earth could pro- duce for her children under scien- tific management is beyond the dream of the widest enthusiast.

Bridgeport's Germs
 All Upset; They're Walking Upside Down
Do germs wear rubber heels?

Do germs wear rubber heels?
 Is the secret of their unprecedented success at 50 surreptitously breaking and entering hidden in their footwear?
 These questions are bothering the attaches of the health department to- day because of mysterious heelprints found on one wall of the offices. Six feet above the floor on one of the partitions, Chief Inspector c. H Dunbar discovered six prints of a well known brand of pedal cushion. There was no mark of a sole.
 Nobody in the health department had legs long enough to plant print that high on the wall. Dr. E. A. Mo- IellAn, whose office is> made in part by the print-marred wall asserts that 9ne always uses the door. Employes of the department declare some un- seen thing must have done it.
 Germs have been known to lodge that high on a wall. authorities of the local department say. A rigid investi- gation has been instituted. Chief 1n- epsctor Dunbar declares he believes the microbes have been provoked into hoing unexpected stunts by the recent crusade of the department.

 Known as Masters of the Yeggs.
 The quartet-known as the masters of the yeggs-were not taken without fight. The detectives and police cornered them, but they started to resist arrest, whereupon the officers flashed their revolvers. Then they were backed up against a wall of the waiting room and searched. The few commuters who had not fled when they saw the flash of pistols wit messed the unloading of four veritable arsenals. Each man had a revolver; Portland Fatty" known in domestic life as George Edwards, unloaded a bottle of nitro-glycerine, twenty-one dynamite fuses with caps attached and jimmy"

 The four men, disarmed, again showed fight, but they were quickly subdued, loaded into a patrol wagon and carried to Police Headquarters, where charged of carrying concealed weapons were placed against them.
 Inspector Jacobs said later that in addition to the Boston job some of the men were wanted for blowing safes in Colchester. Conn.,; coeman's Junction, N.

HUGHES AVOIDS
 QUESTION UPON
 HATTERS' CASE
Stumping Ohio, Candidate Meets Enthusiasm For
 President Wilson.

Cleveland, Sept. 27-Demands that he explain his stand on the Danbury Hatters' case greeted Charles E.
 Hughes yesterday in this city when he essayed a trip into the industrial sections in quest of votes. He was saluted with cheers for Wilson when he arrived and his audiences bade him farewell with further vociferous ex- |pressions of approval for the present Chief Executive.
 How about the Danbury Hatters?" was shouted at Hughes time and time again, but whether or not he heard the challenge he refused to commit himself. At nearly every stop he made in the state he was greeted with the same question, but he didn't reply. He told his campaign comrades after ward that he didn't hear the workers |Ncries.
 The first evidence that there is a tendency among labor men in Ohio to find out where Hughes stands on the question came in the street parade in Indianapolis, when persons along the line of march called to him for an as- sertion of his position. An outburst of enthusiasm for Wilson was met by Hughes at a factory meeting later.
 Crowds and acclaim for Hughes are becoming hard to find in Ohio.
 At the Cleveland automobile fac tory, in Toledo, a workman shouted at him: "If you worked in the Over land factory, would you join the union?"
 MT. Hughes replied in his custom ary vein. That would depend on the facts in the case. I do not know the conditions in the Overland, I have no opposition to organized labor. as I have already shown you. What I would do in any case would be to examine the facts and see what would be for the best interests of labor in the particular case. Now, my friends, I cannot talk to you at length, but want you to know that the ambition I have is to see prosperous Amer ica."

FELL OVER AND DROWNED

When Capt. H. s. Blakeslee of the tug Annie R. Wood and his engineer went ashore the vessel this morning they found the cabin door unlocked The hat. coat and vest and shoes of William Buck, the cook, were in the cabin but no signs could be found of their owner. They called at the home of his sister, Mrs. Schietinger, wife of the drawtender of the lower bridge but he was not there. No one about the dodlk had seen him. Fearing that he had fallen overheard, Capt. Blakeslee and others procured grap- bling iron and dragged the waters about the dock. Near the foot of Wall street the body was found. Buck evidently had been dead some hours, as the body was found about 10 o'clock. It is probable that he fell overheard about daybreak and that his head struck against the side of the boat, causing inconsistencies. He was about 20 years of age and was unmarried.
