BACKWARD BOY SPRINGS SURPRISE
 ON HIS PARENTS
They Had Worried About
 Him For a Long Time

He was one of those ambitious boys the city is full of, had the will and desire to work but not the strength, had never been over strong, always pale and anenic, 1t was up hill work for him to keep up his end either in play or at school. s
 His mother remarked to one of the neighbors how bright and well her little girl had been looking, she was so rosy checked and full of life and good spirits. where hefore she had been so pale, sluggish and backward about everything.
 The girls mother smiled and said, Why that is easy, that. child gave her father and me loads of worry, we had tried everything and were about desperate, when the farmer who brings in our eggs told us to try Phosphated Iron, he bet that would do the business, his oldest daugS&sr was just the same but now looked like a new child and they would never be without a box in the house.
 The boys mother took the tip. and you should hear her praise Phosphat- ed Iron, she says he is full of boyish good spirits and tricks, eats the way nights, sleeps like a log, and now leads his class with ease, where be- fore his work had been an effort and a drag.
 It just seems as if the boys whole system absorbed the Iron he was in such need of it and the Phosphates were Just what his overworked little brain needed. It sure made won- derfu1 change.
 Doctors all agree that four-fift1as of all trouble is due to the lack of Iron and Phosphorous. If one has them in their make up they are healthy and strong. Good for both old and young, for anyone run down, anemie Or lack of red blood corpuscles. Get package today and feel like your old self again.

ENDURANCE TEST
 RECORD OF GUARD. HELD BY MEOICOS

The Home Guard is fast settling down to its stride in the grinding rou- tine that brings the flesh from citifed bodies and puts the muscles in hard ened condition.
 With the parade of five miles in the city streets today it is the intention or commanding officers that the various units will be given more fatiguing e2- ercise.
 Already commanders realizing the necessity for hard work have given ,rders which have taken their units into the countryside for distances of from five to 20 miles.
 Under the command of Lieut.. Will liam West the Ambulance company of the Fourth Regiment, Conn. Home Guards, were taken out on Sunday morning and given the regulation 20- mile endurance test. Ten men of the company are reported as having suc- cuunIbed. This is considered an un- usually small percentage of the whole taking into consideration the heat of the day although the men each Sun day have been increasing distances of travel.
 Although some companies of the Home Guard. have exceptional records in tactical drills at close order, the record of the Ambulance company in their endurance test places them now in the first rank of the local regiment and it will be a long time before their test is equalled
 Companies EI and after the parade today will send squads for target practice at a private range that has been secured for this purpose. Neither H or company are believed to be in condition at this time for marches of more than five miles, never having had this practice and. the men being more or less soft.

He was elected a trustee of the Bridgeport Savings Bank June z2, 1879, and became in turn vice president tn 1900, and president in 1913, which latter office he actively and efficiently held to the very end of his long and use- fal life.

Sonstant and unselflsh service to the bank he was an invaluable adviser. possessing an intimate - knowledge of Bridgeport real es- tate, an accurate and discrini- hating appreciation of the prin- cfples underlying investment se- curities and a just and proper estimate of human nature. Comhined with his marked strength Of character were per- sonal charms that endeared him to his associates. a warm heart, | genial good nature. g keen hu- nor, an unswerving loyalty, a 4 high faith in God and man, so that he was held in a peculiar and beautiful affection by his fel- low members on the Board of Trustees and by the employees of the bank. es

land may, perhaps, by dint of the re- peated, terrorizing of its citizens, be made to yield. The authorities them selves cannot share this opinion.
 3. The remote possibility of doing some damage of military importance.
 4. The idea of causing much larger numbers of aeroplanes to be kept in England.
 The first two reasons seem to me the most important. They belong rather to the domestic than to the military policy of Germany.
