Washington, DC, Sept. 26-Total

seven months of 1919 amounted to near
~ 100000 according to a report
made by the savings Division OF the
Treasury Department The exact
figure lis sos. 400. t70.2t. This makes
a per capita investment of about ninety
cents whereas the Government at the
beginning of the year asked a per capita
purchase Of $40 worth OF War Stamps
in order to meet war debts.
"rhe saving of nearly 0.O0O, 600 IN
seven months is concrete proof that
the Governments thrift campaign is
checking extraVaEa4r expenditures"
the report says Checking OF eNtrav-
agant buying Is the only remedy for
high prices Saving St00.0oo.oo0 simply
means cutting down demand by that

Be Relieved
 of Pirnples

Those dizzy spells, sick headaches, blurred visions are caused from pois- onous gases that come from a sour stomach, which in turn comes from constipation. This poison is the cause of pimply face which so many per sons are afflicted with and are so ashamed of.
 To get rid of that cause a scien- tific treatment which is received when a Turkish Bath is administered will relieve you of the most strenuous case of constipation and will give that glow of youth that is admired so by everyone.
 Go to the Hotel Atlas Turkish Baths, PAT Fairfield Ave, Bridgeport, and rid yourself of that terrible af- fiction. Open day and night. Ladies Day-every Friday-Hours 10 a. m. to D. m.-Adv.

Tobacco Hardens the Arteries, OvertaXes fine Heart
 and ShOrtenS Life
Says Dr. Connor Suggests Simple to Find If It Is
 Hurting YOu Can You Stand It?

in the morning, before taking your
 usual smoke, walk up three flights of
 stairs at regular pace, then stop. If you find that you are out of breath
 if your heart beat is forced, trembling
 Or Irregular, you may be the victim
 of a functional or organic heart
 trouble. If you feel that you must
 smoke or chew to quiet your nerves,
 you are slave to the tobacco habit
 and are slowly poisoning yourself
 with the insidious deadly drugs, nico-
 tine and furfural. In either case,
 you have just two alternatives-keep
 on with your self-poisoninS process regardless of the dangers, and suffer
 the consequences, or rid yourself of
 the habit and escape the dangers.
 You can overcome the craving and
 stop the tobacco habit in a very short
 time by using the following inex-
 pensiVe formula: Go to any drug store and ask for N1cotol. Take one
 tablet after each meal and in a com
 paratively short time you will have no desire for tobacco. The craving
 will have left you. With the nicotine poisoning out of your system your general health will quickly improve.
 Note-When asked about Nicotol tablets, one of our leading druggists said: ''NicotoI is truly wonderful remedy for the tobacco habit. It is way ahead of anything we have ever sold before. We are auth Orized by 1 the manufactu to refund the money to every dissa sitf1sed customer and we would not permit the use of
 our name unless the remedy possess ed unusual merit" NicotoI is sold in
 this city under an iron-clad money back guarantee by all up-to-date | druggists, including the Cyrus, the Kaesman and Ostrofs1y stores.-Adv.

New York-Dr. Connor, formerly of Johns Hopkins hospital, says: Hundreds of thousands of men who smoke and chew and who believe themselves healthy are suffering from progressive organic ailments They would never have been afflicted had it not been for the use of tobacco and most of them would soon get well if they would only stop the use of to- baccO.
 The best known habit forming principal of tobacco is nicotine, but the most deadly and demorafzing is furfuraL Both are deadly poison, which, when absorbed by the systera slowly, but surely, affect the nerves, membranes, tissues, vital organs and vitality of the body.
 The harmful effect of tobacco va ries and depends on circumstances and the individual. In some it causes general debility, others catarrh of the throat, indigestion, constipation, ex- treme nervousness, sleeplessn ess loss of memory, lack of will power, cow ardice and fear, mental confusion, etc; in others it causes heart di- sease, bronchial troubles, hardening of the arteries, palpitation of the heart, tuberculosis, blindness, cancer and the common affliction known as tobacco heart.
 If you use tobacco in any form you easily detect it's harmful effects by making the following simple tests: Read aloud a full page from a book. If your voice becomes muffIed, hoarse and indistinct and you must fre- quently clear your throat. the chances are that your throat is affected by ca tarrh and it may be the beginning of very serious catarrhal trouble.

 The contracts were let, the contractor started work, and things began to happen.
 While the job was far from complete, the City of Bridgeport sent it's police to the bridge and put the contractor off the job. From that moment until today the Grand Street bridge has been a municipal bug-bear, a vast hole in the treasury through which the citys dollars have been flowing far faster than the river which this bridge crosses.
 From the original modest bridge that was to be covered by a $229 66OOO bond issue we now have bridge for which $566, ,27O.OO has been spent, and our City Treasurer tells that $1OO,OOO.OO of this money juggled over from some other appropriation.
 On top of this the contractor who was put off by the police has sued and obtained yer diets totaling $19O,OOOOO in round numbers, getting verdict not only on this bridge but on the East Washington Avenue bridge in the bargain.
 On top of this again there is no approach, and there is railroad track smack in front of the bridge on the West side of the river. The City's men who raid this place at midnight and throw some blanks across and that is our ''crossing''-we are trespassers.
 l will say that it represents the most tre- mendous Wastage of the Citys money, in one concrete lump, that has ever come to my at tenton and have been a resident of Bridge port for many, many years.

Fellow CitiZens:-
 It is with regret that come at last to the subject of the Grand Street Bridge.
 Regret-because do not wish to be ac- cused of throwing mud, something l have sought studiously to avoid.
 But as bad is the situation in the Grand Street Bridge, so loudly do the facts and the figures and the court records speak for them selves, that even to mention them is to have the appearance of slinging mud.
 suppose that if photographer went up to Grand Street today and took picture of the Grand Street bridge and then showed that picture to someone, he too could be accused of throwing mud. l should think so
 At any rate, here is bridge for which the original bonds issued were sold for $229,- 66O,OO. The cost of the bridge to the city was to be somewhere inside this figure The bridge does not span precipice. It is not great engineering feat It is just a little bridge across little, slow, muddy river-just a convenient bridge. The citizens who asked for it expected that for small sum, rightly

stant contractor who agreed to finish this bridge for a specified sum was chased off the york; and another contractor "cOst-plus' basis was put in his place. with no limit on him as to the cost. It was then that the City's dol lars began to go like water over Niagara F als.
 will call attention to the fact that the in troduction of the "cost-plus" plan on this bridge at such an enormous expense fol- variety of other public works some of similar magnitude. Iregret also to say that the effect, far as the Outgo of dollars from the City's treasury is concerned, IS the same.
 | will call attention to the fact that the Congress Street bridge was built by a commits sion of which Moses w. Manwaring was chairman; that this commission had S3O5,OOO with which to build the bridge; that it did fine job, paid every bill and turned back S10,- GOO to the City's treasury.
 Compare bridge that costs the City $1O,- 900 less than was set for it's price with a bridge that will run into four times the original price, from the present look of things.
