NICE SUM REALIZED FROM
BENEFIT PERFORMANCE

The benefit performance of the
Greenwood shows this afternoon for
the Americas hospital association was
ia success in every particular.
The bill presented was vaudeville
sketch of high character, and the
players were at their best in the rem
dition of same. A large crowd at
tended, and nice little sum was real
lied for the Hospital association from
tie sale of tickets, Chero- Cola and
other things.
1t is very commendable in Manager
Greenwood, the giving of this benefit
performance for such a laudable insti-
tuition as the Americas Hospital asso-
citation, and the thanks of an appre-
ciative public are his for so doing.
AS has already been stated in these
columns, the Greenwood shows are
high class entertainments, which fact
is evidenced by the large crowds that
attend each evening.

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuIces of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, staanant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as a daisy al
ways by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast

cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract Lefore put
ting more food into the stomach.
The action Of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach is
wonderfully inyigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and it
is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store but is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better in every
way shortly.

 q don't believe 1t has ever been ade- Quately defned-probably it never will be. But its importance can scarcely be overestimated. It is a kind of tn- tangible, elusive radium emanation that defies analysis, but it can do more to convert a sow's ear into silk purse than anything else in the world. Under its magic spell downright ugliness may seem to be beauty and stupidity may easily enough be mistaken for bril- liancy. It is the quality that every successful actor and actress possesses and without which no actor and no actress rises to any appreciable height in the profession. It flashes across the footlights more effectively than beauty, ability and experience com bined, and, while the spectator himself, perhaps, is not aware of the fact, he. applauds 1t more than he applauds any thing else"

maiden name of Poire. She is a sis- ter of the famous French artist, Caran d'Alhe, whose name is an in- geniOus adaptation of the Russian word for pencil. Mile. Poire for years, under that name, earned con- siderable recognition as an operatta and concert singer, war correspon- dent and finally as actress in chief of the Imperial Theatre in Petrograd. d. Her father was one of the best fenc- ing masters in Moscow. Count Davy- dov is the bearer of an old aristo- cratic name, a member of the Im- perial Duma and District Marshal of the Nobility. His fortune is over $1O,. 900, ,00O.
 It was testified that the Countess, pointing to the child, said: '.I have given you fine son, haven't I? Just as if I went and bought him in the market" At that time the Count really believed the child bore a re- markable resemblance to him.
 The witnesses were motley crowd of chirosophists, mediums and deal CTS in cosmetics. The court found that the child was illegitimate, but that the Countess and two others were not guilty in procuring the in- sertion of the false birth entry so they were discharged.

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the re- markable record maintained by Dr. Ktlmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid ney, liver and bladder remedy.
 It is a physicians prescription.
 Swamp-Root is 8 strengthening medicine. Dr. Kilmer used it for years in his private practice. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature intended they should do,
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on it's merit and it will help you. No other remedy can successfully take it's place.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Bridgeport Daily Farmer.-Adv.

One of the tasks the health depart ment has to perform in Bridgeport is to see that the city's supply consists entirely of "safe" milk, according to pr. w. H. Brown, the new head of the department, who is busy studying the city, the department records and the health needs of the people here.
 pr. Brown will take charge of the eliminate the danger that has been faced, because of the consumption of impure milk. Equipped with sci entific training Dr. Brown also has the advantage of having been reared on a farm, where he learned the de- tails of dairying.
 ''The milk supply is only one of the things with which I will have to con- tend here," said Dr. Brown to-day; 'tbut it is very important one. The city's supply should consist entirely of safe milk, not what is known as clean milk, because clean milk is not always safe.
 You cannot always judge by the bacterial count. The quality of the milk depends on the character of the germs in it. We're going to let alone the good, honest, God-fearing germs and go after the criminal ones.'
 The good germs are the ones that are vital to life, and those of the crim- inal class. the inimical ones, are the germs of typhoid, diphtheria, etc.

In commenting upon the hundreds of half sick men here MT. Jackson said:
 'The physical preparedness of the Far East should make American workmen set up and take notice. The number of applicants for the army and navy who have been turned down during the past year in the United States is alarming. No city has pro- duced more than one man in five who can successfully pass the physical test for marines. Figures of the Life Ex- tension Institute show a large increase since 1890 in the number of men dying with chronic and functional diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. The decrease in the gen. eral death rate is due to modern sani- tation and control of infectious di- seases and not because the masses are more careful in eating, drinking, sleeping and recreation.
