NO DRUNKS OR ASSAULT CASES
 IN CITY COURT

Prohibition has shown results in Bridgeport. Not one case of drunk enness or breach of peace came be- fore the city court today. which ac- cording to past records is somewhat remarkable. While there have been several occasions when no cases of drunkenness have been heard, it has been many day since no prisoners charged with breach Of peace or as sault as a result of intoxication have appeared before the judge
 Court officials refused to be opti mistic and simply advised those who remarked on the subject to wait a few days before passing opinion.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
NATION WIDE
 STRIKE NOT TO
 AFFECT B'PORT

The nation wide five days strike of the unions in behalf of Thomas Moo ney, who is in prison in California, where he was convicted as being one of the men who hurled the bomb that killed a number of persons in the preparedness parade a few years ago will not affect Bridgeport according to information from labor circles.
 The machinists of the city took a vote on the strike some time ago, shortly after the visit of Mrs Mooney to this city, and by a large majority voted to take part in the strike. This action. however. was not endorsed by the executive committee of the union and without this endorsement no strike can be called. Labor men spoken to today said that as protest, a strike called for five days, three of which are holidays, anyhow, and the other two are generally taken ofr to recuperate, would not mean much.

DAIRY cow IS ECONOMICAL
Humans, and Turns Them Into Food Material.

Two facts stand out prominently as reasons for the increased production and use of milk. The first is that milk as purchased on the market usually supplies food material together with the growth-producing elements more economically than either meat or eggs. The second reason is that the dairy COW is the most economical producer of animal food. One great law of food conservation is to turn inedible feeds into edible foods in the cheapest possible manner. The dairy COW will utilize coarse mate rials, inedible to humans-such as grass, cornstalks and hay-and will turn them into milk. Other farm ami malls also are converters of coarse roughage into edible foods, but are not so efficient as the dairy COW.

1.-THE " SOUGHT SERVICE, NOT "A.
 FAME" SAYS GEQQRFGGE ". PERKINS
Chairman of War Work Finance Committee returns home and reports fully monumental and efficient organization reared by '. M. C. 4. for service to A E. F.

this number could have been so care fully selected that each one would have been a star performer; that working in this way, the Y. M. c. A could have made a pronounced suc- cess and would have had no criticism.
 Had the Y. M. c. A followed such a course, it would clearly have been thinking much more of it's own repu- tation than of the service it could render. It is obviously ridiculous to say that the Y. M. c. A. could have performed greater service with 500 very competent men and women than it performed with 11,OO0 or 12,oO0 men and women, some of whom proved incompetent
 'The Y. M. c. A never solicited money for the purpose of giving away its canteen supplies. If the Y. M. c. A. had given away canteen supplies in France on the scale of its sales, it would have spent in this activity alone at least as much money as its entire expenditures in France for all its activities. The constant policy of the Y. Nj. c. A. was to sell canteen sup plies as nearly as possible at cost, and to bend every effort, when fighting was in progress, to furnish the men at the front with supplies free of charge where 1t was at all possible to get the goods to them.
 ''The Y. M. c. As definite program in Europe from the beginning, and continuously, has been to bend every effort and use every dollar it could obtain to occupy the leisure time of the soldiers, and to do this with vari- ous forms of entertainment, athletics, worth while educational activities, etc. Can there be any doubt that every father and mother, every wife and sister, and the men themselves, will approve the Y. M. c. As course in this respect? Is 1t not infinitely better to do everything possible to occupy the leisure time and to fill the long dreary evenings of the soldiers, than to use the money in giving away larger quantity of cigarettes. choco- lates and other similar articles?
 "The Y. M. c. A.'tried to respond to every call that the Army made on it It never hesitated to tackle any job it was asked to undertake; it did not sidestep any task it was asked to perform. It took the position that it was in Europe to do all it could, as best it could; that when 1t was called on to render service of any kind, it's duty was to respond in the same spirit that the soldiers did, and not hold back because adverse circumstances might make 1t impossible to meet with max imum success. The Y. sought service, not fame. Surely every contributor of money will approve the Y. M. c. As course in this respect.
 eThe vast work it has accomplished and is accomplishing in. Europe can never be gauged at its true worth ex- cept by those who have seen it in its entirety. Whatever imperfections may have existed the results achieved are unquestionably so beneficial as to be a source of deep satisfaction to those who so unselfshly served the cause and those who so generously contrib uted the funds that made the work possible"

George W. Perkins of New York, chairman of the finance committee of the War Work Council of the Y. M. c. A, has just returned from Europe, where he spent over four months in making a thorough investigation of the work done by the Y. M. c. A. Chairman Perkins report is an i'm pressive exhibit of the prodigious service rendered by the great organiZ- ation in all directions in the war land, and members and friends of the As sociation may we'll feel that its big task was well done. In his summary Perkins says:
 No higher tribute could be paid to the work of the Y. M. c. A. than that which is now being paid by the Army itself, for it is either taking over or largely cooperating in the work Of continuing and enlarging the activities instituted by the Y. M. c. A at the beginning of it's work in Europe. After the armistice was signed, it was neither necessary nor practical to keep the soldiers at military drill every day. Our men had not intended to enter the army as permanent can- ing. They had simply gone into the war to whip Germany. When the job was finished, they were through, and they wanted to come home immedt- ately and get to work at their civilian occupations. There were more than 100000 of them scattered through France and Germany. The great question was how to occupy the time of these men, how to give them healthy occupation and at the same time prepare them, at least in some degree. for the work they were to take up on returning home. The army at once turned to the Y. M c. A for help in solving this problem. General headquarters assigned many high of ficers to cooperate in the work the Y. M. c. A was carrying on in ath- letics, entertainment and educational activities. ".
 "The Army has not taken over the Y. M. c. As athletic and entertain ment departments, but the officers or the Army are now closely associated with the Y. M. c. A. directors of LQCSS dCLIVlLlcS, duu IhC LwO oA 6oAAA" tions, working in close cooperation, are today shaping the policy of en- tertainment and athletic activities, the Y. M. c. A. furnishing the money, and the Y. M. c. A. and Army joint ly furnishing the personnel. I believe that the beneficial effects of the edu- cational program laid down by the r. M. c. A., and the athletic activities it has carried on, have been so far reaching that the War Department will hereafter continue these activities in our army in times of peace as well as in times of war, for many of ficers have told me that the beneficial effect of these activities on the morale of the army could hardly be measured. Germany had nothing of this sort in its army, and it's absence caused a great loss in the morale of its men,
 "One critic of the Y. M. c. A. in France stated that in his judgment the outstanding mistake made by the Y. M. c. A. was in trying to have too large a staff of workers; that the Y. M. c. A. should have limited itself to a staff of 500 men and women; that

The Test That Tells

There is only one real test for a cough remedy, and that is use. S. M. Oliver, Box 1922, R. F. D. 5, Greensboro. S. C., writes: "Foley's Honey and Tar is just fine. I keep it all the time in my family and do not expect to be without it as long as I can get it." It relieves hay fever, asthma, coughs, colds, croup and bronchial affections by covering the infamed, irritated surfaces with a soothing, healing combination of time-tried, reliable, pure, harmless medicines. Contains no opiates. Children like it. Freeman Dempsey, dealer.-adv.

CORROBORATION
Of Interest to Canaan Readers

For months Canaan citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Canaan residents. Would these prominent people recommend rem edy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Ca naan reader.
 James o. Snyder, Bragg St., Ca- naan, says: My kidneys had been out of order for some time and I often had difficulty in passing the secretions. My back pained a great deal, too. When I stopped over, I could hardly straighten up. After using a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Farnum 6 Co.'s Drug Store, had no more kidney trouble" " Statement given September, II, 19O8).
 A SECOND STATEMENT
 On September IS, 1916, MT. Sny- der said: "I am again glad to recon- mend Doan's Kidney Pills. am now entirely cured of kidney trouble"
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Snyder had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, IN. Y.-adv.
