 "Well, in the line was a growthy youth of huge proportions, barefooted and with one suspender supporting his abbreviated overalls. He had no taste for book learning. He happened i to get a verse in which occurred all three of the unpronouncable Hebrew names. He fumed and spit, and rubbed one foot against the other ankle, and could not utter the first syllable of either name. The teacher kindly passed the verse to the next in line.
 But is was a long chapter and the school was not large that day. The poor dub counted ahead and found that he was going to get another verse, containing the same impossible names. He threw down his Bible, jumped on it with both his feet and began to cry. Why, what can be the matter, Joseph?" asked the teacher.

 There is a Saint Hubert legend, to the effect that he died and was buried. A grain brand lying or his breast was buried with him, and when, at the close of hundred yeas, his grave was opened, the good mans body had dissolved into dust, but the fair branch had kept it's perennial growth!
 So, my hearers, let us adopt the motto: "One for all, and all for one," conscientiously do the work we can do, hold up the Presidents hands and let the world know that he truly re- presents the American conscience and ideals.

Led ny Samuel Levitt, candidate for business agent of the Machinists' union, 100 machinists opposing the election of Fred Ceaderholm, seeking the same office as Levit, forced their way into the headquarters of the Scandinavian lodge of machinists at 301 Fairfield avenue last night.

world, not of these United States, but if the energy of the men now idly consuming daily bread were properly directed into an industrial army and should devote an average of hours daily to the production of needful things, the whole world would be richer and better. There is another idle army much smaller indeed. but handled in a much less intelligent manner and that is the army of law breakers.
 and commits a. crime we punish him by placing him in jail building that has cost the decent people many thousands of dollars, we supply cooks and walters and janitors to wait on him, serve his meals in time, keep him warm and comfortable while his wife who needed his daily wages must go out to earn bread for his children. Every prison for every of, fense should be an industrial enter prise and every person who sins against society should be placed at work as soon as confined therein and the result of that labor should after deducting the exact cost of his ex- pense, be placed to his credit and if he has any one dependent upon him for support the money should be used for that purpose and he should be charged with the amount so spent.
 The plan of allowing the state to keep the profits earned by prisoners in pentitentiaries and allowing county jail prisoners to do nothing is not just to the innocent family Of the criIn- inal. while a knowledge of the fact that he was earning the daily bread for his family woul0 be a. great fac tor in changing the attitude of the prisoner to his labor.
 The men of the army. if it must be maintained should be taught trades, professions, arts, and crafts so that when the term of their enlistment is over they are not helpless but are competent to at once engage in use ful work that will earn their daily bread."

MANS SEA" SCENE OF MANY
 BOATING FIGHTS
Belgians and Germans Lock Horns Within Full View
 of Their Lines.

With the Belgian Army in Elan ders, May 17.-Boating to battle is one of the novelties of fighting on this part of the front, where the Bel gian and German lines are separated by miles of flooded land. Trench raids are almost unheard of here. The only thing approximating them are bomb- ing expeditions carried out from skiffs which are padded skillfully under cover of darkness to the ene- my's lines.
 "Just at the edge of the water in front of our trench" said Belgian officer, i've have two little caches where our two boats lie hidden. and when darkness has come we set out on patrol. Sometimes with padded oars, sometimes with punt poles-for in most places the water Is quite shal- low-we creep toward the German lines. At any moment a star shell may give you away and bullets spurt- ing up the water around you or whistling overhead warn you that rowing about in No Mans Sea Is not always a healthy game.
 "But the crowning excitement comes when you meet a German pa- troI boat. Once when I was out with a Sergeant and two men we heard the steady splash of a punt pole in the water coming slowly toward us We tooko ut the safety pins from our bombs and waited until they were almost on us. And then we let fly. Look!'-and he rolled up the sleeve of his tunic to show deep scar near his elbow-"I got this from bit ot one of our own bombs, so close did we let the Germans come. But not one of them could have escaped, for at least three of our bombs dropped right into the boat, and there were great bits of woodwork drifting about next day. The strangest part of ii all Is that the fellows in the trenches on both sides are frightened to fire for fear of hitting their own meh. As l a matter of fact. all four of us were Islightly hit in the run for home, but fthe Boches never got home at all. There's only one orner way or get. ting close to the Germans in the
 flood-lands. At intervals there are
 raised roads, running east and west between the wide-stretching lakes
 unpleasant little ribbons of land, bor' dered by two lines of broken poplars
 connecting us with the enemy. Ani far out along the roads are Belgian and German hidden advanced posts
 There night and day, men lie in tht
 mud and listen. in case any one
 should be fool enough to attempt ar attack along that road of death."

CECIL SP0ONER
 GIVEN OVATION
 ON HER RETURN
''Bridgeport's Swee e h a p Warmly Welcomed in Capi-
 tai Comedy, "Jerry."

Cecil Spooner, "Bridgeport's Sweet heart" returned to her own here last night in her premier summer stock production of the summer at the Park theatre. Jerry
 Miss S'pooner's return means more than the average theatrical event to Bridgeport audience, for Miss Spooner is part and parcel of the life of most of the patrons of the drama in these parts.
 Through her long association with the Lyric theatre, and her record breaking farewell engagement of three weeks at the Park theatre, she won 8 following of thousands of Bridgeporters. whose interest was keyed to high expectation with the announcement recently that she was soon to be back home.
 Miss Spooner could not have chosen a more suitable vehicle for her return to Bridgeport. "Jerry'' is an estab- lfshed metropolitan success, with a name part to which Miss Spooner by temperament and methods is excel lently adapted.
 Her appearance on the stage last night was signalized by an ovation from one of the largest audiences the Park theatre has entertained in many l months Not a seat was to be had long before the time flor the curtain Fashionable parties filled the boxes, and scores of enthusiasts who were unable to bury seats paid for the priv ilege of standing all through the per- formance. Handsome floral remem- brances emphasized the warm well come that awaited the versatile little star Several players familiar to Bridge port audiences supported Miss Spoon CT. Norman Houston won favor in the role of Montague Wade, Frederick Clayton was warmly greeted as he appeared to essay the role of Peter Flagg. Others sharing in the laurels of the first night success were Clyde Armstrong;, Virginia Ellwood. Helen Iffden, Joe Kennedy. Norman Hous- ton and George Kelly.
 Jerry will continue at the Park for the remainder of the week, with | matinees Thursday and Saturday, and next week Miss Spooner will star in My Irish Cinderella

 Dear Doctor: take the liberty to address you for wish to ask 9 or questions, and I know of no one so competent as you to answer them. I have often seen it stated that sour milk was a great stomach corrective and conducive to longer life. Do you you believe anything in it and how long should the milk be kept before using it? What kind of a crock kept in? How often used, and how much in quantity each time?
 (Answer) Sour milk, thick or clab- bered is a great stomach corrective and l or 2 glassfuls can be taken to adva0tage at mealtime. Milk should always be taken, either sweet or clab- bered, never when turned enogh to taste sour, but Is still thin liquid; neither should it be taken when so sour that it becomes watery. Butter milk is also a most excellent article of food and like sour milk contains a great deal of nourishment. The but termilk should be taken sweet, how ever, and not drank after it is 24 hours old, especially in warm weather If it is to be used as cure for Obes- ity and Rheumatism a pint should be taken every hours and absolute ly no food taken for several days and weeks if possible. If used as food only, 1 or tumberfuls at each meal fs sufficient. Milk should always be kept in new tin or earthern crooks.
