JAIL SENTENCE
AND fine Given
WOMAN IN COURT
Keeper of Disorderly House
Before Judge Wilder
Other Cases.

Cora Davis, arrested last Saturday
nlght charged with keeping a disor
derly mouse at IA State street, was
hned one dollar and costs and sem
fenced TO so days in jaid by Judge
Wilder yesterday in the city court
The Davis woman was only one of
large number who were caught in
the drag net spread by the police de-
partment Saturday night when they
made a clean up of the resorts in the
suburbs and she was the only prisoner
who received her sentence yesterday,
all the others being held over until
next Saturday.
Intense excitement prevailed in the
vicinity of the court as lawyers re-
tanned by gamblers, keepers of disor-
DERBY houses, owners of property and
others more or less concerned in the
general clean up which the police
have instituted, f1uttered about the
| corridors, marshalling their many wit
nesses among the molly mob of all
colors and characters.

birds" quailed and suffered under the
fire of the prosecuting attorney, while

of them mere slips of girls, breaking
down completely and sobbing in a
broken hearted fashion.
One young thing cried pitifully, not
outstanding the comforting words OF
Mrs. Margaret Burgess, who tried to
calm her hysteria. Most of the pris-
oners were old offenders and were
greeted with smiles of greeting by
most of the members of the detective
bureau. The salutatoins were re-
turned in many instances with trite
remark about going to a warmer eli
mate, and altogether the assembled
actors and actresses in the city court
melodrama seemed to have their own
individual troubles.

STATE QUOTA OF
SALE OF THRIFT
STAMPS SMALL
Only Amounts to Slight Por-
ton of the Annual In
come of Population.

Hartford, Jan. 22.-Connectieuts $26,-
100000 quota of the United States
thrift stamps and war savings stamps
multiplied approximately 80 times
would equal the estimated income of
the people of this state during 1917.
The per capita assessment of war
savings stamps is fixed at $40, whereas
the average income of Connecticuts
citizens during 1917 was slightly in
excess of $500. These figures have
been prepared by the Connecticut dd-
rector of the National War Savings
Committee.
The ease with which the people Of
Connecticut should absorb the states
quota of War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps is urged by the State
War Savings Committee in it's appeal
To all sections of the state. The COM
mittee refers to the fact that it will
be easy for some and difficult for 9TH
ers to meet the individual require
ments; one individual will fail to
meet requirements, the other will ex-
coed expectations
The 1917 income of the United States
was $19, 400,00 coo more than the pre-
vious year; indications are that the
1918 income will exceed that of last
year. This being the case, the people
of Connecticut should find it rela-
lively easy to reach and surpass the
government 1918 demands for pur-
chase of War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps, the Connecticut COM
mittee points out

WOMEN ARE
BOOSTING IT
You Cannot Fool the Women

once you have shown them and
got their confidence they will stick
through thick and thin to what they
know ard believe is a good thing.
Hundreds of women in our city are
going around today with joy in their
hearts and a new lease on life and
health where before each day was
one long nervous drag of misery"
AS one woman expressed it, tits
not the work you do, it's the way you
feel that makes the drudgery, you
cannot get ahead when you. go to
bed all in, too tired to sleep and get
up in the morning half dead. Believe
me, I know. I certainly was a ner-
vous wreck, every task a load, no
ambition, thin, haggard and pale, an
old woman before my time. Look at
me now, some change, Ell! Work is
a pleasure. I am just bubbling over
with life and good spirits, the picture
of health, cheeks rosy and full of the
color that only ironized blood can
give, while my phosphate-fed nerves
are as steady as a clock, nothing wor-
ries me, I sleep like a top and feel
like a girl of sixteen. Take it from
me, 1 want Phosphated Iron to gel
credit for everything; too much can
not be said in its praise, it sure is
the goods and everyone I have rec
commended it to is a booster
This is only one Of many like cases
in our city, there is no need of any
man or woman going around with
that tired all-in feeling OF any form
Of nervousness, if they will get mex
to themselves, take a brace, and stack
up to a package of Phosphated Iron
1t sure will spruce you up and make
you feel like a live wire once more
