handful of all these vegetables, dried
and put together in can, may be used

two lengthwise, tied in bundles and

Fruit buffers, iellies and jams may
be used on bread in place of butter,

found in butter and milk. If the child
drinks plenty of milk, the jellies may
be used in place of butter very often.

Not Afraid of Hanqman.

There are said to be about 10000
Czecho-Slovak troops in a single group
with the italian army. They were
trained near the hill town of Perugia,
and then moved to the battle front.
They are mostly deserters from the
Austrian army. and their uniform
cheerfulness, in view of the fact that
hangman's rope possibly awaits
them, should they be captured, is re-
markable. But Italy is taking no

only when Italy strikes her next

If Kaiser Bill had delayed pulling

world few years longer it is quite
likely such scenes would have been
possible, says writer in the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger. Fathers and
mothers would have been able to talk

have conversed with them thousands

Radio-telephony at the beginning of
the world war had just about reached
the practical stage where it was to
take its place with autobiography
as one one of the marvels of the age.
One year after Mars Embossed his guns

to Paris, Rome or Vienna, or from
New York to the North Pole.
Scientifically demonstrated as a
feasible proposition the wireless tele-
phone was about to be commercialized
when the war interviewed. Fathers
and mothers Of America could talk to
their sons in France today as out

War Hastens Development.
The war, if anything, however, has
but fastened the universal utilization
of radio-telephony. While the world
is engrossed in the titanic struggle
from Belgium to Switzerland, it has
not had time to note all the remark

=lIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIlIIllIIIlIIIIIIIIII

Yestidday us fellows made it up to
have a race fr-um the corner of the
TELEGRAPH pole, and the one that came
in last had to go UP to, the ferst man
that came down the street and tell
him he was a Germin spy. And we
had the race and I came in last on
account of getting a bad start and
not feeling mutch like running eny-
way, and the ferst man that came
down the street was a man with
big stummick and his mushtash stick
Ing out in little points, and I went
up to him, saying, Mister, I'm sorry
to tell you you're a Germin spy.
WITCH ferst the man looked serprized
and then he looked mad, saying, You
impudint scoundriI, Ill skin you alive
Ony by that time I was pavemints
away and still running, and wen I
went home for suppir pop called me
in the parler, saying, Benny, I wunt
to interdoose you to my boss, if it
! wasent for Mr.. Hammer I woodent
have eny job and you wood proberly
be roaming the streets without a roof
to put over your he'd.
Meening a man setting by the win
dow, and wat man was it but the man
with the big stummick and the little
points on his mushtash, me going over
kind of slow and shaking hands with
him and he kepp hold of my hand,
squeezing it like enything, saying,
How do you do, haven't 1 met you be
fore, sumware?
| Sir? No sir, I seid.
My errer, I Suppose, proberly its be-
cause I'm a Germin spy, sed Mr.. Ham
mer, did you ever know I was a Ger
min spy, Potts?
| No, its news to me, Mr.. Hammer,
must say, sed pop. And Mr.. Hammer
stayed for suppir, and every time he
wunted enything he asked me to hand
it to him, saying, Young man, wood
you Ubject to passing the bred to a
eGTnin spy? Young man, wood you
consider it unpatriotick to hand a
Gerniin spy the buttir? Did tell you
was Germin spy, Potts?
| Wy yes, ha ha, bleeve you did, sed
pop.
And Mr. Hammer stayed a little vile
after suppir, saying sumthing about a
Germin spy every time he looked at
me, and after he had went home ma
sed to poy, Willyum, for goodniss
sakes, has that man got Germin spies

LYRIC

Beginning with the matinee this af-
ternoon and continuing with two per-
formances throughout the week "Pot-
ash & Perlmutter in Society," will be
the attraction at the Lyric theatre
Not alone is this the opening of the
32nd week, but it is also the 377th sue
cessful performance that the popular
Poll Players have given to Bridge
port pleasure seekers who have
crowded the beautiful playhouse at
each of these performances. The Poll
Players have earned an enviable
reputation with the various produc-
tions which they have presented to
an appreciative public, but in Potash
& Perlmutter in Society they antici-
pate reaching the zenith of their sue
cessful career.
The production is by the pen of
that famous author Montague Glass,
during one of his most humorous
moods and at each of its previous
presentations has met with nothing
but the utmost success. Every line
contains a laugh and there are sew
eral situations in each of the three
acts which cause an uproar of hilar-
ity in the audience. Harold Kennedy,
the Poll Players versatile and funny
comedian, will portray the character
of 'tAbe Potash" and Dudley Ayres,
the popular leading man, will be seen
as 'TMawruss Perlmutter." Abe" is
married, but tMawruss' is still ben-
edict, but willing to launch himself
upon the sea of matrimony and there
by hangs a tale that forms a part OF
what there is of the plot in the story
Miss WaFda Howard, the charming
and delightful leading lady of thu
company, will again portray the char
acter of Ruth with whom ABE" is
in love, and Miss Carrie Lowe, as
Rosie the wife of Perlmutter, does
her very best to make a match of the
love affair between them. How she
succeeds and the troubles the quarte'
has while in Society form the foun'
dation for the many 1aughable situa-
tons. The dialogues are in the in1m-
table style of that famous team o.
Hebrews, and this in itself is wortf
going miles to hear.
Already a large advance sale o1
tickets has been recorded and many
have made reservations for seat:
either at the matinees or the evening
performances and a succession o.
large attendances are expected.
