The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bridgeport Protective association was held last
 night at s o'clock at 75+ Myrtle avenue with Mrs. Walter $. Wilnot presiding in the absence of the president, Nor man Leeds. The various reports were read and. showed many interesting
 details.
 The figures of the treasurers re- port spoke most eLoquentIy of the heavy demands that the work of the past year has made on the society's funds and showed the need of the inn mediate and generous gifts of the public so that the work of the asso- citation may not be hampered fy lack | of funds.
 Mrs. WjImot chairman of the mem benship committee, reported that in
 two weeks since the circulars begin ming the campaigns for funds was sent out to the public, nearly $2 400 was received.
 The case committee reported a de cided increase in the number of peo- pie applying for work. These people know only the factory work and the high wages they received during the war time emergency have given them the false idea of their economic value looking towards domestic service with the Idea of receiving proportionately large cOmpensations, notwithstanding

GUILD SPEAKS
 ON EVANGELISM

Rev. pr. Roy B. Guild, executive secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, gave an address last night at the meeting of the Church Federation of Bridgeport held at the United church. The speaker told his audience of the national work of his organization and the way to get secretary which the local body lacks at present $.
 During his talk Dr. Guild said, Re gardIng the progress of program of evangelism, which churches are now undertaking with a view to increas- ing their membership, I would say that the day of the professional or vocational evangelist has passed. Of all the prominent men engaged in the work I do not know one who has made engagements for this year Practically all our larger cities have instituted simultaneous pastoral eva ngeIisIn, which has proven a for rnidable substitute for the old meth od."

INGALLS, EULOGY OF GRASS
Brilliant Piece of Writing by Famous Kansan Will Forever Hold Place
 in Literature.

living in the sunshine among the ,buttercups and dandelions of May, scarcely higher in intelligence than the minute tenants of that mimic will derness, our earliest recollections are of grass, and when the f1tful fever Is ended and the foolish rwrangIe of the market and the forum is closed, grass heals over the scar which our descent into the bosom of earth has made and the carpet Of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead. Grass Is the for giyeness of nature-her constant ben ediction. Fields trampled with bat tie, saturated with blood, torn with the ruts Of cannon, grow green again with grass, and carnage Is forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffic become grass grown like rural lanes and are obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass is i'm mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of winter, it withdraws into the impregnable fortress of its subterrane- an vitality and emerges upon the first solicitation of spring. Sown by the winds, by the wandering birds, propa- gated by the subtle agriculture of the clements which are its ministers and servants, 1t softens the rude outline of the world. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses with fra grance or splendor, but it's homely hue is more enthanting than the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet, should its harvest fail for a single year, famine would depopulate the world"
 This classic by John J. Ingalls,, was first printed in the Duluth Herald, says the Kansas Magazine, when Sen .ator I1galls was one of It's owners.

PLAN DRIVE FOR S1O,OOO

With 400 women canvassing the city and with the earnest cooperation Of the public, the committee on the campaign for $10,0OO for the Jewish Orphan Asylum is confident that the drive will end very successfully. Re ports today show S3,00O in subscrip- tions including the $2,0O0 made at the mass meeting in the Lyric theatre on Sunday. The committee have lost one day since the team workers were not prepared to go out until Tues day, but it is hoped that Tag Day on Saturday under the direction of Mrs. Lawrence Finkelstone will make up for it.
 At the present time Mrs H. F. krentsman, general of the South End leads all the team workers in the drive by having brought in the larg- est amount of subscriptions. Mrs. F. Hickman, general of the North End, Is next, followed by Mrs. NJ. Soloway working the West End and Mrs. A. Bakunin of the East End. The largest amount brought. in by individual workers yesterday was that of Mrs. s. Sandhaus, $485.
 A meeting of all the team workers has been called to take place on A1AuI Sudy evening dL ueaQQudTLerS to arrange for the Tag Day. Among the organiza ions who have made contri- buttons are the '. M H. A. Y w H. A, Council of Jewish Women, Daughters of Lebowitz, Daughters of Israel, Ladies of TaImidtorah, Red Mogen David, West End Congregation and Workman's Circle, Branch 48.
 Although the response so far has been very generous from the public, the committee urges that every citi- zen in Bridgeport interest himself in this campaign to make it realize its aims.

Al the blood in the body goes thru the kidneys within few minutes. Therefore the kidneys are very important in health or disease because the kidneys filter out of the blood most of the waste (poisonous) substances and the blood then flows on toward the heart thru the kidney vein What the kidney takes out of the blood forms uri<e. So it is very important to have the water tested by q chemist, at least once 8 year. I would suggest that everybody send sample to Dr. Pierce's Laboratory in Buffalo, N.

The message also defended Mexico's S
