Home Gardens Committee
Winds Up It's Work

The Bridgeport home gardens
committee which has been instru-
mental during the summer season in
fostering, supervising and financing
about $500 gardens in this city and
vicinity closed its doors in the First
Bridgeport National Bank yesterday.
Mrs. William T. Hincks, chairman
of the financial committee and one of
the prime movers in the garden work
here declared that the season had
been most successful. that as a result
of the institution, many Bridgeport
families had largely stocked pantries
filed with canned fruits and vege-
tables, would have cellars filled with
potatoes, and that the children had
sold much produce to material profit.
She said further that the financial
obligations of the organization had
been fully satisfied through the gen
crosby of the people, the manufac-
turers and the City of Bridgeport.
through its education department.
and thanked the public and press for
the support which had made the work
so successful.
''The home gardens committee has
met all situations that presented
themselves during the last season and
next year, IL conditions demand will
begin early and seek more factory
groups as a means of remedying any
shortage that may confront the peo-
pie of Bridgeport" said Mrs. Hincks

Juice of Lemons!.
How to Make Skin
White and Beautiful

At the cost of small jar CT ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautifer, by squeezing the juice
of two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through a fine cloth so no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
lsallowness, freckles and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smootnener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly fra

daily into the face, neck, arms and

Rasputin's Method
To Get To Court
Told By Steffins

. In the September number of Ev-
erybody's Magazine, Lincoln Steffens
tells the real story of Rasputin, as it
was related to him by the assassins
of the power behind the Russian
throne. The most mysterious suues-
ton about the rise of this obscure
monk is, How did he get into the
Court at Petrograd % Nothing could
be simpler" says Mr.. Steffins
Tn a nunnery at Moscow he met
the Tsarina's sister. Like the EN-
press. the sister was devotee of the
church, of charity and humane SER
vice. Rasputip met her. and he met
her every thought and longing He
expressed her, satisfied her, and so
she recommended him to her sister
in the court. He was summoned to
Petrograd, and. happening to arrive
at a time when the little Tsarevitch
was ill, he stroked and wished him
well. And the child happened to get
well.
The Tsarina is a good mother, and
a very superstitious, almost fanat-
ically religious woman. She called
this a miracle. and the performer of
it an angel of goodness. Rasputin
could come up to that expectation
too: He played that part. When
ever after that the Tsarevitch was ill,
Rasputin waited awhile and then,
when the sickness had had time to
run its course, he would lay on his
hands. The story that he had wo-
man who made the child ill is pretty
generally believed in Petrograd, and
it may be- true but medical men there
who knew something of the circum-
stances said it wasn't necessary to
accept this explanation. The more
probable one I. have suggested is suf-
ficient. But if he hid use drugs on
the child and even, as 1t is also, said.

from our knowledge of ourselves. that
he did it for a good-purpose. Threat

One of our big league ball players
had been going back for some time
no matter how hard he tried he could
not get his old time Pep and Ginger
into the game, it was up hill work all
the time. He was one of those honest
hard working fellows and it finally
got his goat his nerves went bad,
he commenced to run down, could not
eat or sleep and kept steadily slip
ping. Doctors and medicines were
of no help.
One of his many admirers said to
him, 'Why not try Phosphated Iron
everybody is boosting it,
Grasping at the last straw, the poor
fellow took a try at, it. The way he
came back was an s.eye opener" he
was there in every department of the
game, his nerves were like Iron, he
could hit the ball and was no time
getting back to the three hundred
mark, while his base running and
fielding were great.
Discussing the matter with ou1
reporter he said, Would you believe

blood with health and strength, while
the way the Phosphates, steadied and

AMERICA AGREES
TO ADOPT FRENCH
TYPE OF HELMET

Paris, Oct. IAN important agree
ment has just been concluded be-
tween the American government and
Andre Tardieu, French high commits
sioner to the United States By the
terms of this understanding the
American government has adopted
the two principal factors of the
French artillery system. the Is nm.

cannon. g.
Up to the present time the expedi-
tionary force of Gen. Pershing has
been furnished by the French au7

At the same time, factories In

At the same time, factories in
France and America have been SO
organized that the American army of
1 1000, 600 men which is in process of
organization will receive without de-
lay, as its units are formed, light and
heavy artillery, together with the
munitions necessary for them.
Negotiations, entered upon for the
first time in the latter part OF May
among Andre Tardieu, high commits
sion, and Brig. Gen. Crozier, chief of
the ordnance department, were based
upon two ideas.
In the first place the American
government wished to- accept the
most rapid solution. that the arma-
ment OF its army might be completed
as soon as possible; in the second
place it attached, with great fore
sight, particular importance to a
standardization Of munitions for the
armies Of France and America. fight

Bearing in mind these two desid-
erata. the French high commissioner,
thanks to the great development of
our war factories since 1915, was
able to furnish Gen. Crozier a pre-
else plan of industrial collaboration
which will assure the realization OF
the American program.
This double advantage (rapid arm

nitions) determined the American

American Forces
In France Called
Salvation Army

Paris, Oct. 2.-The American army
in France is coming to be known in
the Faubourg Saint Antoine, as FAR
NEE de Sa1ut, which is translated as
the Salvation Army" This is not
suggested by the other army of that
name, but because so many French
men believe the Americans have come
to assure the salvation Of France. $
One observes in the Faubourg
Saint Antoine, better than anywhere
else in Paris the fine spirit of the
common people toward Uncle Sans
troops. They are welcome every
where. There is always a. place for
them on the benches of public
squares beside the housewives of the
neighborhood who have come out,
with their sewing, to get the air. Ev-
eryone tries to help them along with
their French and the children are
proud as peacocks when they have q
chance to push a chubby fist into
their big brown hands.
In the evening the quarter is turn
ed into a sort Of open air school. BY
the light of pocket lamps the young
folks give the Americans aid in mas
tering French idioms. The instrue-
ton is not classic, but mutual un-
Outstanding comes out of it somehow
and both the American soldiers and
their teachers get lot of fun out OF
the. way they mispronounce each
others language.
The Americans have reason TO APP
preciate the hints they get as to how
to spend their money without being
fleced. a precaution that is becoming
superfluous. Merchants are aware
now that the quarter regards it as
high treason to exploit the soldiers OF
what they call rArmee de Salut:

THE GREAT DIVIDE.

The woman in the prime Of life
need not dread to meet the loss of her
youth when growing elderly. While
some charms diminish, others should
replace them-charms of experience,
cultivation, wisdom. The great ply
steal changes met between the fortieth
and f1ftieth year are indeed serious,
and. are not always we'll borne. In
the strain of modern life, few wome en-
are in condition to meet these changes
without some apprehension of de-
ranged health. But with the excellent
help of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, that old, trustworthy
womans medicine. woman may
confidently expect to enter later life
as we'll and robust as everyday.

Why Speeders Of
Automobiles Are
Always Getting Hurt

Some automobile men from another
town got to talking garages the other
night, and 1t was interesting to get
their point Of view. They talked more
freely than they would have done
in the presence of a newspaper man
from their own town.
They were exchanging notes about
the various drivers OF their home
community, and some who had a
special reputation for speeding. One
man according to them was the terror
of the nefgborhood. He seemed to be
utterly upset when car came along
that he could not pass. He would be
sore for days. He was never content
until he got in front Of anything in
sight.
He would work some queer stunts
to get by IL there was a line Of
cars ahead Of him, he would never
stop to consider whether he could
get by more than one. AS soon as
there seemed to be half enough room
on a narrow road, along he would go.
II he couldn't pass the second car, he
would nose his way in between that
car and the one he had just passed.
Most drivers usually would give UP
their right of way to save an accident.
But within recent weeks the man had
another car at forty miles an hour he
had collided with a tree. Through
the machine was wrecked, yet by a
miracle he had escaped.
A man can work that kidd of thfna
about 50 long. Then he runs up
against some driver who will stick by
his rights even If collision does re-
suit at high speed.
! It may seem strange that there are
in most places drivers who have a
reputation about like this, which is
commonly a. matter of. garage gossip
yet no one will complain. The many
people who know about it realize
| that the man is a menace. Yet they
dislike to make trouble and won't dc
anything as long as they are not per.
sonaIly injured. 1t will be impossible
TO stop speeding on the highways IN

Goodness. how he did make the dirt

eagerness.

Farmer Browns boy intended to nail

couldn't get through that, even II he
did manage to dig his way under the
henhouse. Once through that and
fairly in the henhouse inc Billy
drew long breath. He felt safe for
the time being anyway. and he didn't
propose to worry over the future.
Jimmy Skunk hurried after INC
Billy. 1t wasn't fear that caused
fear. He had been startled by the un-
expectedness OF Bowser's appearance.
1t was this that had caused him to
struggle to be first through that hole
under the henhouse. But once through
he had felt bit ashamed that
he had been so undigniHed. He wasn't
afraid OF Bowser. He was sorely
tempted to turn around and send Bow

very well could. But he thought better
of it Besides INC Billy was already
