Over 300 years ago one Of the most
unusual strikes ever recorded took
place in Paris. when all the lawyers
walked out, so TO speak. \ law or
crdonnance was issued and promulgat-
cd by the French king Henry III. or
dering all lawyers to sign their plead
ings and to state the amount they
were charging their clients for their
services. This wis done So that the
lawyers could be properly and sufli-
GENTLY taxed on their incomes. The
lawyers objected, and the strike, caus-
Ing an entire stay of judicial proceed
ings, followed. Peace was restored by
the nonenforcement of the ordonnance,
though 1t was not repealed.

Poultry Demonstration At Southport Farm
 Interests Producers

Saturday afternoon Prof. Roy E. Jones, extension poultryman. Conect- icut Agricultural college, gave a dem onstration at the Peqarot Poultry farm, showing some 50 ior 60 interest ed members and guests of the Bridge port Poultry association how to select the producers from the non producers in the poultry flock, large or small.
 The method explained is termed that of selection by external characteris- tics, which, briefly stated, concerns the color of the shanks, beak, earIobes and vent, the distance apart of the pelvic bone to the enii of the breast bone. and the feel or quality of the skin on the breast There are other conditions that govern the final de- termination as to whether the hen shall continue to board with her own CTS, with sure expectation that she will pay for her keep and more, or whether she shall die a quick death and help out the food supply of the nation and save further expense for feed.
 Prof. Jones explains the method in a painstakdng manner, that is readily. understood by either the novice or Experienced poultrynan and is more than ready to answer all questions.
 MT. Taylor, manager and owner of the Pequot Poultry farm, supplied a pen of trap nestled R. I. Reds, whose records were available and as Prof Jones judged a hen as good, bad or indifferent, the record of eggs laid by that hen was announced, and the re- suit invariably proved Prof. Jones' method to be most effective and re- liable E
 The demonstration was arranged by the Fairfield County Farm Bureau at the request of the Bridgeport Poultry association, and as Prof Jones will be able to give some time in Fairfield county to further work along this line during the second week in August, the Farm Bureau will arrange for a series of poultry demonstrations on August g, 10 and il.
 William Kinney, director of the Farm bureau for Greenwich, was present at the demonstration Satur- day. and was so greatly interested and convinced of the value of such a demonstration at this time. of high priled feeds, that he requested a date for Greenwich which was granted.
 The demonstration at Greenwich will be held on Saturday afternoon. Aug. il, at the farm Of Percy Rocke- feller. Greenwich, and in addition to the "selection'' demonstration, MT. Jones will give a s'caponizing'' demon stration.

BRIDGEPORT HAS
 FEW NERVOUS MEN AND WOMEN
Nervousness on the Decline

Still the good work goes on, soon there will not be any more tired. ner- vous people in our city.
 This is caused largely by the widespread use of Phosphated Iron, the new tonic and nerve bracer that has sprung into instant popularity with the medical world.
 Phosphated Iron will help any run down. nervous condition almost inn mediately. It will put fresh iron Tn the blood, the phosphates taking hold of the nerve centers and bracing them up. You will eat better, sleep better and get up in the morning feel ing like doing things, you will feel the old time vim and snap of youth surging through your veins, you will tackle the days work with confi- dence and a smile.
 Science has taught us that when we have enough Iron and Phosphor- ,ous in the blood and nerves we are healthy; that almost all conditions of i'll health and nervousness are due to the lack of Iron or Phosphorous, Phos- phated Iron rarely fails to supply the needed amount of both.
 Use Phosphated Iron one week and you will forget you were ever nervous, tired out and run down, you can feel it taking hold. {. { Special Notice. To insure your re- ceiving the genuine Phosphate Iron we have put up in Capsules Only. Do not allow dealers to substitute Tablets or Pills.

William s. Hart was at the Plaza yesterday, is today and will be again tomorrow. Not in person of course, but in a film production that sol i'm beds his personality upon your mind that you feel the effect of his very presence. The name of the feature to which he is starred is wolf Lowry and there is so much going on all through the picture and the action is so unusually swift that the finish comes all too soon.
 Wolf Lowry, a rough-and-ready ranchman with a habit of having his own way in all things, meets a girl who takes all the starch out of him. SO to speak and so infatuates him that he risks his life for her and then stumbles over proposal of mar riage in a way that might well serve as a. leson for any faint hearted young Romeo. The preparations of the mar ridge and then the sudden turn of affairs that send Wolf back to Alaska. alone. form one of the most interesting narratives ever filmed.
 With wolf Lowry a feature that should pack the cool and cosy Plaza to the doors without any augmenta- ton. an O. Henry story entitled Wan dty and Some Sables.'' a dandy attrac- ton, and .Oriental Love. "a Keystone comedy. are being shown.
