percussion instruments, while the 9TH

one drum. Maybe he was only prac

T am here in Bridgeport to preach the creed of cheerfulness. I am an apostle of sood humorv Cheerfulness, good hunnor and happiness are the only things that make life worth while. The authors of the American Declaration of Independence put life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness As the three Fundamental objects of existence. In my opinion the great est of Ali fs the. pursuit of happiness. Life and liberty are empty things without the pursuit of happiness which is just another way of descrfb- ing chesrfs1iness- Sick people know this! When man or woman can't eat meal without paying a penalty in suffering q few minutes later, when one can't ret | good nights sleep for weeks q tfrne because of nervous snoes or rheunaA4ism, when one drags ADout all day lacking. ambition. fore Ing the brain to work, literally whip pine tired body by sheer will pow er--5ust half sick-then a person re- Alizes that life and liberty are second ary to happiness the Kind of hap piness that comes only with good h1alth."

He is daily meeting the people of Bridgeport and lectur- ing on wilderbe (fsail extract) at Him. dle's Main and State st. store. He continued: T nm very proud of the work am dofne. 1 nm introducing

a medicine that actually restores good health. Wilderbs Gull extractJ, Dr.
 Pierce's new scientifc tonic, has a record of proved results all over the
 United States which has never been Eequaled by any other medicine Noth- ing like it has ever been known be- fore. People come to me suffering from stomach trouble, rheumatism, kidney and liver complaints, constipa- tion and nervous prostration. They are a pathetic sight. They try this wonderful new treatment and some
 times in less than a week they re- turn looking like different persons Their eyes are bright and they walk with springy step. They have learn led again the joy of living after having almost given tip hope.

Mission Here Is To Make Local Health Department
 Efficient, Says Sophian
(Continued from PaRe 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.)
 All parents can readily appreciate the difference of the two diseases One can be prevented by suitable measures in most cases and offers a good chance of complete recovery, while in- fantile paralysis is a disease which may occur in spite of the utmost pre- cartons and is attended not only by a high mortality but also by a high percentage of permanent disa- bility; more appalling condition can- not face the parent. The disease is not epidemic in this city but there is nothing believe that should be more dreaded by the city than to see large numbers of cases of this disease here. The expense of a nurse at a street crossing is repaid one hundred fold to the city if only one case can be pre- vented Efficiency means adequate measures for all diseases but let us vention of one of the most dreaded diseases.
 "The efforts of the new health de- pertinent are now and will be directed toward the control and prevention of all contagious disease The organiza- ton is intended to be permanent. AL ready a special staff of workers has been appointed and special provision has been made for the care of other contagious diseases along the lines that have been instituted for infantile paralysis. Along these lines efforts have been made with bright prospects of, success for the building of an ade- quate city hospital for the care of all contagious diseases The sanitary staff has been tripled not for infantile paralysis but for the institution of sanitary measures applicable to all diseases. The nursing staff has been organized and enlarged for house to house canvass for the education of the public. For the same reasons, a working plan including the insta1la- ton of a new milk laboratory and milk inspection, has been instituted to obtain for the city wholesome milk. This is intended not as temporary need to control infantile paralysis but is directed principally at the elimina- ton of diarrhoeal diseases in child hood which are in most cases caused by impure milk. Other important dis eases proven are tuberculosis, typhoid fever and septic sore throat.
 Tn passing I might say that the water supplied to this city is very good, a proved by examinations made by disinterested laboratories "A system of records has been in- stituted which will be of great help to the health department and to the pub lie. The street cleaning department has co-operated with the results which are evident
 The campaign has been a comprc- hensive one for the permanent better ment of the city and we hope will re- suit in several vital changes necessary for the peace and health of the com munity--an efficient health organiza- ton with good results. an adequate sanitary staff, the exclusion of impure milk from the city and a much needed city hospital. At all costs. however, we must in addition keep this disease from our doors. Everybody must help."

INTERNAL STRIFE
 IN INDIA CONE, LONDON REPORTS

London, Aug 14-"Interna1 condi- tions in India, save in portions of Bengal where robber bands period ica1ly break out, are highly satisfac- tory" says Reuter- despatch from Sinla
 The people of Bengal showed their desire to help in the war by organiz- ing a stationary field hospital for ser vice in Mesopotamia This hospital, with the exception of officers com- manding, was staffed entirely by Ben- gaG medical graduates and the per- sonnel was entirely Bengali. After doing excellent work, this hospital has now been withdrawn but scope for the national and patriotic aspirations of the Bengeli has been offered by the raising of double company of them. It will be trained on the frontier and when fit for service will be sent to the front for active operations. The re- suit of the experiment will be watched with interest.
 No les than six Indian officers and soldiers have now earned the Victoria Cross and 27 have gained the military cross.
 "All classes of creeds throughout the entire country held intercession ser vice on August 4, praying in the churches, mosques and temples for the success of the British arms. Tn cer- tain parts offertories were set aside for the aid of British prisoners in Germany.
 Relations between the governments of India and Afghanistan continue to be of the frfendiest character and the latter is scrupulously maintaining an attitude of neutrality which was promised at the beginning of the war and subsequently reaff1rmed. The northwest frontier, partly in conse- quence of friendly relations with Af- ghanistan and. partly owing to the punishment inflicted last year on re- calcitrant sections and partly owing to the exposure of attempts to intro duce the religious clements into the way, Is enjoying unprecedented peace. The Afridas, the strongest and most important tribe, have remained staunch throughout their engagements, thereby setting an example of loyalty to their neighbors. The only trouble some factors are the Mahsurs. tribe of hereditary robbers and raiders. Otherwise, the restless borderland is quieter than 1t has been for many years"
