HOUSE SUSTAINS
 WAR CONTRACTS

Washington. Jan. 10.---Validation and adjustment by the Secretary of War of informal war contracts involving the expenditure of more than $2,- 702, 100000 is authorized by a bill passed by the House late yesterday by vote of 270 to 10. Approximately (, 800 contracts in this country and a, large number in England, France and Italy would be affected.
 A similar bill also placing adjust ment in the hands of the Secretary of War, was approved yesterday by the Senate Military Committee, which re- versed its previous action in voting for the creation of a special, com mission on adjustment.
 Opponents of the bill passed by the House favored adjustment of the contract by a Congressional commit tee acting with the Attorney General and the Secretary Of War and they sought to amend the measure to meet their views, but the amendment was voted down. Numerous other amend rnerts were offered but only two minor ones changing the phraseology were accepted.
 Republican Leader Mann, speak ing in support of the bill, said Con- gross could not preserve it's self respect if It failed to authorize pay ments of contracts which were made in good faith.

'DETER THAN CAL0NEL.
Thousands Have Discovered Dr, Edwards Olive Tablets are
 a Harmless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-tha o;,Z,sti. ute for calomel - are q mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver i9 almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calornel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. {
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calonel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and 3 disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy'' and heavy" Note how they "ciear" clouded brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits. Sc asS 25c box. All druggists.

Never before have two such big features been offered at one show as Mime, Ellis. The Woman Who Knows" and Constance, the viva cious and brilliant screen star in the comedy drama, Sauce for the Goose" which is being offered at the i,laza theatre the last three days this week.

Her as sistant going through the audiences asking questions which Mime. Ellis answers promptly and correctly proves that the woman has that un- fathomable ability to read the mind and predict happenings of the fu- tuTe. Her exhibition is nothing short of marvellous and not only thrilled but startled the audiences yesterday.
 Constance Talmadge in Sauce for the Goose" i one of the brightest and clovercst and most ru of fun comedies that has seen here in many a day Constance TalmadEe as charming and cute as ever proves to her husband, who is beginning to tEluk that the pleasures outside Of his own home are more to be sought fer, that what's sauce Tor the goose is sauce for the gander 1 teaches him how the game can he played both ways.

 Ward and Cullen concludo the vaudeville bin with a pleasing song act in which they use a piano and introduce some bright parodies.

LYRIC

With only few opportunities re- naming and the advance sale of seats steadily increasing reservations for the concluding performance of that wonderfully strong drama. "A Fool There Was, now playing twice daily at the Lyric theatre should La made at once. There are still g few choice seats but unless they are spoken for in advance t is more than likely that they will be sold before the curtain goes up. Every per fcrmarce so far this week has been well attended with seats at a pre- Uium giving promise Of even larger for the balance of the week.
 Next week the PoH Players will present an attraction different from anything that Bridgeport has ever seen. A brand new comedy. intro ducing specia1des by members of the company and others including the entire staff Of attaches from the manager down, Tt Happened In Bridgeport" promises to be one of the most unusual presentations this ciry has ever seen. II is a comedy from beginning to end and a laugh is promised t1 every line "It Hap pened in Bridgeport" will show the work necessary in producing q plsy and the part which is taken by every member of the company and rhe working staff about the theatre and then the play itself will be pro- duced.
 As an added attraction ths man agement will introduce La Belle Masque," the woman who always wears a mask. She will be seen about the streets, in the theatre. at her hotel and everywhere in public with the mask which has made her famous, and as a reward for the ob- servant $100 will be given to any per sen who can guess her identity. La BelIo M2sque" will introduce q dane ing specially in which some of the nest classical dances prevail. She created a furore in New York and Washington and in the latter place was obliged to remain from public view on account of the excitement created. In addition to this John ThCrme, John NcCormack's only rival. the silver voiced tenor will ren- der a program Of modern songs.

CHILDREN WITHOUT HOMES.

At he Bridgeport hospital there is wee baby twelve days old whose mother died last Sunday He must be dismissed from the hospital in day or two and there is no place to take him to. The father, who is a hard working earnest man, cannot give up his work to care for the baby There is no woman to care for him and no institution is open to the little one because of the strin- gent influenza quarantines still in eff feet in the homes throughout the state. A good boarding home must be found for this baby. The fath- CT is willing and able to pay a req sonable rate Of board. So far no home has been found. An appeal is being made by the Catholic Char itable Bureau for a home for this and for other children similarly needing q home. The people of Bridgeport have nobly responded to every call that has been made upon their civic and patriotic duties To give a home to a motherless little one is certain ly one of the most patriotic ser vices that one could render in these days when We arc asked to make every effort to save the lives of the little ones. There are doubtless many homes in the city and vicinity where the presence of a little one would drive away loneliness or care

Seldom has an audience been thrilled to such an extent as that which packed Polia thaatre last right and saw the wonderful double bill prepared for their entertainment. The vaudeville is especially good and among the big features none gets q better hand or Is more popular than Orville Stamm, the Boy Hercules. This youngsters marvellous strength C3uses the audience to gasp in as tonishment. Young Stamm has just returned to civil life after nearly two years as physical instructor in the army and navy.
 Harry Meehan, the funny man, keeps the house in a continuous roar of laughter with his droll stories and his inimitable cc.ledy. The Wilson Brothers are another big hit and it is doubtfeul whether Q more popular team ever played to a local audience at any time. The Nancellos are g. feature and vel deserve the big re- oeption which they get.
 ".r the Dark" the big melodrama act. b one of the most thrilling that has ever been presented the Bridge port public. It is well staged, well acted and is an all around winner.
 Charles Ray in St ng Beans is immense and it is noticeable that the audience cannot refrain from ap- p3audiug in q most enthusiastic man- rsr al every one of the dozens of tense situations in the picture. It is without a doubt one of the best pie lures ever shown at Polls and is un- queslonabiy the best that Charles Ray has ever appeared in.
