men And WOMEN
IN FIGHTING TRIM
They Keep To The Top
Notch of Health.

The spirit of tie times demands
perfect health and nerves, and keep
ing them up to the highest degree of
efficiency.
= Wise men and women have learned
tiIat it does not pay to allow health
or nerves to run down and are quick
to take advantage of Natures greatest
red blood and nerve tonic, Phosphated
Iron, the minute they feel they are
slowing up.
Whatever your work may be there
is no reason why it should continue to
tire you; work should only use the
right amount of your energy. 1t is
trying to work on your nerves and
forcing yourself that wastes your
strength, runs you down, gives you
those restless nights, loss of appetite
and indigestion, when you get up in
the morning as tired as when you
vent to bed. There is no sense in
anyone being a victim of i'll health,
poor blood, over work, nerves or the
blues when Phosphated Iron will af-
ford such prompt and permanent re-
lief.
All over the country men and
women in every walk of life lay their
good health, strength and nerves of
iron to the use of Phosphated Iron,
the red blood and nerve builder, and
it will also put you on your feet, make
you feel like a live one. It produces
results that last, that's what counts

obtained naval licenses, to get in
touch with the nearest collectors of
customs regarding a new license be-
fore the expiration of that period.

special prominence be given to the
statement that no more licenses will
be issued to small vessels through

BIRTHDAY OF
OUR COUNTRY

July Fourth will be something more
heart will have gone out Of the old
time scene of racket and mischief.
Some of us will think back to that
Hateful scene when this nation was
born, when it asserted it's right to an
equal place in the world family.
The familiar old picture in the his
1 tory books, of our patriot forefathers
, signing the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, looks like a very stilted and
conventional scene. It is hard to i'm
agine that it thrilled with any human
emotion. Yet these men by that act
4 were putting their heads in the hang
mans moose.
They were Sdefying the strongest
military power of their day, and with
4 but a handful of raw soldiers. II
was an audacious proposition. The
fortunes of time have made us now
the ally of that power. But the Am
erican spirit of liberty has SO far pen
etrated Western nations of Europe
that our allies go into battle in the
same old faith of democracy that in
spired the Revolutionary forefathers
There was great stuff in the BLOOD
of the old patriots of '76. They woulC
rather risk their necks than stand TO
acts of injustice. That temper ha
persisted to the present day. 1t ha
drawn to our shores millions of immi
grants who shared the same feeling o
revolt from tyranny, and who are fit
ting heirs of the patriotic legacy.
Blood will tell. The sons of tn
forefathers will be patriots too. Tn
sons of men who came to this coun
try to escape tyranny will not weak
ly bow the knee to the autocrat.
a handful of the. fathers dared def
the old country in those days c
weakness. the sons will never hesitat
to defy kings and empires in thes
days of our strength.

FIRENEN WANT MORE PAY

At a meeting of the board of Fire
Commissioners held last evening
President John A. Leonard stated that
the firemen were not being paid what
they were worth. This was brought
about by the resignation of Leo Cas-
perino of No. SIS house, who asked
that the boar1 accept his resigna-
ton, because ne could not, owing to
the high cost of living, secure men
to take care of his business.
It was shown that the f!remen of
Bridgeport receive higher wages than
in any other city in the state their
salary being $23.0S a week. Mr..
Leonard suggested that the minimum
pay of the firenIen should be $40 a
week as We have the best fire fight,
