SANITATION ON BUILDING JOBS
 IN BAD SHAPE Matter Taken Up At Gen. tral Labor Union Last
 Night. CONNECTIONS NOT MADE WITH SEWERS Call Attention of Board of Health With No
 Result.
Sanitary arrangements provided for

Sanitary arrangements provided for workmen on several large building jobs in the city are in a deplorable state. This statement was made to a reporter for the Times last night by a number of workmen employed on several large contract in the city and also caused much agitation at the meeting of Bridgeport Central Labor union last evening.
 Business Agent Martin Kane, on request of Bridgeport carpenters, re- ported to the Central body that health arrangements at these building jobs needed immediate attention and at the request of his organization for ac- ton protest will be made to city of ficiaIs.
 At the Waltersville new school building now in the course of erec- ton, health regulations are a constant menace. Notwithstanding frequent protests of workmen on toilet condi- tions no sewer connections are provid- ed These conditions have been in effect since the job started and no signs of improvement are noticeable. Through some dispute over the kind of toilet arrangements to be installed for the workmen their health is daily endangered, according to the business agent.
 MT. Kane said that in his rounds of the different building operations he has occasion to observe what is go- ing on. If the citizens of this city realized existing health conditions i which seemed to be sanctioned by city | officials surely an accounting would | be demanded, said the business agent Frequently attention of the Board | of Health and Building Commissioners have been called to existing condi- | tions WaltersviIle school, started several months ago still continues with no sewer connection for toilet requirements. The new Isolation hos pital building in the East End is an other building with similar poor toile' arrangements. The same can bt said of nearly all of the local build ing operations in the city. The nev housing buildings now going up ant immediate attention should be giveI to this matter by those in authority
 With the spread of Spanish infu enza any laxity on the part of ou, city officials in health arrangement should not be countenanced.
 At the meeting of Bridgeport Cen tral Labor union last evening a pro test emphatic in it's nature was passed
 Mayor Wilson. the Boards of Healtl and Building Commissioners, and tn Federal agent of the new housini operations were severely criticize for existing conditions. They wer requested to make imme diate change in toilet arrangements at the building now going up. The health of our peo pie should not be neglected in thi manner and now is the time to act.

LORD READINGS BIRTHDAY.

Running away to sea, and later failing in business may not be the best kind of beginning for a successful career yet they were incidents in the start in life of Lord Reading British Special Commissioner to the United States and former Attorney-General of England.
 Rufus Daniel Isaacs, now Lord Reading, was born in London 57 years ago today. His father was a wealthy merchant in the city of Lon don and young Isaacs was gwen the benefit of excellent educational facili- ties afforded by the University College | School and institutions of learning in | Brussels and Hanover. Firing of study, he frustrated the plans of his 1 parents for sending him to Cambridge l by embarking on a sailing ship bound | for Rio de Janeiro. Life on the l bounding pillow was not so pleasant as he had anticipated, and the runa- way was glad of an opportunity to re- turn to London and the parental roof. | The fatted calf was slaughtered in honor of the returned prodigal, and the young man embarked on the sea of business. His father secured for him a membership in the London Stock
 Exchange. The "boy broker" unlike
 the heroes of Tiger and Henty, was
 not huge success. His business bark
 was soon on the rocks, and at the age
 of 25 he was bankrupt and marked 9
 failure.
 Soon after the penniless youth met
 and fell in love with Miss Alice Edith
 ToI
 merchant, and his affections were re-
 ciprocated. She suggested the law as 1, profession suited to his tempera-
 ment. The failure" insisted that he
 was too old to begin the study of lega lore, but Miss Cohen insisted, an6 helped him with his studies. In 18Si young Isaacs was admitted to the bar and commenced career that prove! that opportunities to rise in the world are not confined to this side of the Atlantic.
 The youthful barrister profited b! his own unfortunate business expert
 ence, and specialized in the laws O bankruptcy, in which he soon becam known as. an authority Soon afte being admitted to the Middle Templ | the young attorney married Miss Go hen. There are those who allege tha James A. Barrie based his play
 What Every Woman Knows in hi personal knowledge of the part thi
 remarkable woman played in the ris of her husband.
 In 1904 the lawyer entered ParIia
 ment as a Liberal, and became a per
 sonal friend and companion of tn
 late King Edward. He became So

SPANISH INFL LUENzA--W WHAT IT IS
 AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED
Nothing New-simply the Old Grip, or La Grippe That Was Epidemic In 1889-sO, Only Then It Game

ty of the attack.
 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

Tn order to stimulate the lining of the ar passages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in 1oosening the phlegm and keeping the air passa ges open, thus making the breathing cas- , Ter N1ck's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot wet towels should be I applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts un- til the skin is red, spread on thickIy | and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors. inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts af- fected. At the same time. VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
 HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
 Evidence seems to prove that this is germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid persons having colds-which means avoiding crowds-common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food, Above all, keep free from colds as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs.
 Use Vick'sVapoRub at the very first sign of cold. For a head cold, melt little VapoRub in a spoon and in hale the vapors, or better still use l VaooRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available. use an ordin- ary tea-kettle. Fill half-full of boil ing water, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising.
 NOTE-vick's vapoRub is the dis covery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, ,Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme Gu bebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these IN gradients are liberated in the form of vapors.
 VapoRub is comparatively new in New York State and New England and few Western States, where it is
 just now being introduced, but in the , other sections of the country 1t Is the standard home remedy in over a mil , lion homes for all forms of cold trou-
 bles. Over six million jars were solo ! last year. It IS particularly recon i mended for childrens cToup CT colds | since it is externally applied ant } therefore can be used as freely as de r sired without the slightest harmful r effects. VapoRub can be had 1T = three sizes at all druggists.-Adv.

 Up Your Strength-Na-
 ture Is the Cure" ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC


 Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear ance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs, Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C., which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every cen tury has had it's attacks. Beginning with 1881, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-9O.
 There is no occasion for panic influenza itself has a very low per centage of fatalities-not over one death out of every 400 cases, accord ing to the NC. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arIs- ing, attacking princpally, patents in a run down condition-those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grippe, or influenza as it is now called, usually begins with a chill fol- owed by aching feverishness and IleluSC5 anu OAA04AiSoSJ ciAAO a general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucuous membrane, or lin. ing of the air passages-nose, throat | and bronchial tubes-there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night often times a sore throat or tonsilitis and frequently all the appearances o1 q. severe head cold.
 THE TREATMENT
 |. Go to bed at the first symptoms, no only for your own sake but to avoit spreading the disease to others -takt a purgative, eat plenty of nourishinE floor, remain perfectly quiet and don worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover Powder, etc., may be administered b! the physicians directions to relieve the aching But there is no cure 0, specific for infiuenza-the diseas' must run it's course, but Nature vii throw off the attack if only you keel up your strength. The chief dange lies in the complications which ma, arise. Influenza so weakens the bod fly resistance that there is danger 0 pneumonia or bronchitis developing and sometimes inflammation of tn middle ear, or heart affections. Fo these FsS@sHG, :t is very importan that the patient remain in bed unti his strength returns stay in bed a least two days or more after tn fever has left you. or if you are owe l50 or not strong, stay in bed fou days or more according to the sever
