PARK

"A LITTLE GIRL IN A BIG CITY,
 The white slave traffic and the fight being made against it in New York and in every large city in the country is, in manager opinion, sufficient reas- on for arranging for a return engage ment of James Kyrle MacCurdy's fa- nous play. "A Little Girl in Big City" which will be shown at the Park theatre, tonight.
 It is play that every mother and father and every young man and girl who has arrived at a thinking age should see and ponder over. In four thrilling acts it shows the methods employed by these vultures of society in drawing the innocent and unsus- pecting young girls into their net.

very capable company.
 One has but little idea from the title, of the powerful plea which is contained in the lines of this play which lays bare the soul of young girl possessed of beauty and innocence The play is one of the most daring ex- poses of the pitfalls which await the unwary in any big city and is a pro- duction that every mother, daughter, sister and wife should see.
 One of the main features about this play is that it does not descend to the cheap melodramatic level. There is no luridness. no shooting, but every line in the book is a powerful sledge hammer blow at society's great est evil White Slavery"
 The company is very capable and is considered one of the best that has played Bridgeport house. They have studied the play and have mastered the gripping points so that it holds and delights even the most blase au- dience. It is a hard matter to single out any of the company for especial

Rolled

This is the time of year when Rolled
Oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
Fall. To overcome this condition that
seems 10 occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags Of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at price that will enable the consumer
20 purchase a bag Of Rolled oats at a
price consistent TO the feeding value,
much less than any other product for
human consumption.
We suggest every family order a 90
pound bag Of Rolled Oats from their
grocer Rolled oats and Cream OF
Maize are considered the best substi-
tutes TO use with wheat -four. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.

There were many Vermont towns
which appeared in a false light as a
result of asking them to subscribe to
war savings stamps on the basis of
their population in 1910. The quota of
Weston, for instance, $12,640, was
based on a population of 632, while the
present population is said to be 4s4,
which would require purchase of $26
for each person, according to the figur-
ing sent to the local committee Not
daunted by the task presented to them
the patriotic people of Weston carried
on a lively campaign, ending with q
public meeting, and when the final fig
ures were tabulated the town had come
through for $l4, 155. The residents Of
Weston have made a record of which
they have reason to be proud. The tow
has shown that the old Revolutionary
blood from which a large proportion o
/ its citizens descended still beats higl
in patriotic fervor.

SUGAR AND WHEAT.

France has cut her sugar allowance
for household use to Is pounds a year

They cannot possibly get it unless

ministration, and cut down our house
hold consumption to 36 pounds a year,
or ounces per week
Surely we can get along with three
times as much sugar as the French! 1t
should be easier, too, because of the big
American consumption of sugar in the
form of candy, preserves and other fac
tory products Our total consumption.
under the saving plan now urged, will
still be about go pounds year apiece,
or 1919 ounces a week, perhaps four
times as much as the French are get
ting.
The French bread ration has been
cut down onc-third. If it were cut
much more, there wouldn be any
bread ration. And remember that
bread plays a much more important
part in the French diet that it does
in ours-it is normally half the
French meal
1t is up to us TO see that the French
do not 60 any hungrier than they are
already. They work and fight as brave.
