SUPPLY OF FLAGS
 NEARLY EXHAUSTED

Dealers in this city have been swamped with demands for American flags The supply has practically been exhausted
 The larger sizes were the first in which shortage was felt and virtu- ally the only size in stock now is the three and four-inch kind. F. E.. Beach. who is one of the largest flag wholesaler in this city, said today that the supply of flags in Bridgeport not only had run out but that 1t would be probably a week or more before manufacturers could catch up with the demand from all parts of the United States.
 Manufacturers are reporting an ad- vance in the price of the-Star Spangled Banner.
 Throughout the city today there gre few houses where the red, white and blue is hot seen. Some of the East Side factories have bought small rags by the thousand, placing one in each window. A notable example of this patriotic display is the Singer Sewing Machine building where every window on all sides of the buildings is decorated.
 One dealer estimated today that fully 30,O00 flags had been disposed or in this city last week.

 Jsham was unable to secure the rights to the play for Bridgeport for more
 than one week. The Lyric Players
 will be see at their best and Miss Ade- laide Keim, the new leading lady of the company will appear as "Jim" Hawkins. Miss Keim will be real boy in this play and ask no odds on account of her sex.

The scenic inveStiture will be on an elaborate scale, especially the scene showing the quay at Bristol, with the pirate ship Hispanola at anchor, and the devious streets leading to Long John Silver's Sailor Inn, where the shrewd old fox recruits the pirate band for the expde- dition to Treasure Island under the very eyes of the owner of the ship.

ADVICE FOR
 WOMEN ONLY
(By Dr. N. B. Cook.)

It has been said by the late Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, in his book en- titled Wear and Tear, or Hints for the Overworled," that multitudes of our young girls are merely pretty to look at, or not that; that their des-- tiny is the shawl and the sofa, neu- ralagia, weak backs and the varied forms of hysteria - that domestic demon which has produced untold dis comfort in many a household, and am almost ready to say, as much un- happiness as the husbands dram."
 How is it best to maintain the health of the young girl just grow ing into womanhood. or to prepare the young mother for the advent of new member in the household? In the first, place, girls as rule do not get enough fresh air, and should be taught to take vigorous exercise daily in the outdoor air. They should take cold shower or a fipid bath every day to keep the pores of the skin open so that their skin will breathe as we'll as their lungs, and sleep we'll covered up in bed with the windows open, winter and summer. n
 To build up and invigorate their womanly organs, I know of nothing better than the old tried remedy made up of roots which the first Am ericans used years before our race inhabited this country, extracted frox' Lady Slipper root, Cohosh and Uni corn root, Golden seal and Oregon Grape root, with 'glycerine. It was fizss introduced in ready-to-use form by Dr. Pierce. nearly fifty years ago, and has since been sold in larger quantities every. year, all over the United States, It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and can be obtained at almost all drug stores If the tablets are not .obtainable at the nearest drug store you can easily obtain them thru the mail by sending $1.Oo to the Invaldids' Hotel.
