DON'T WHIP!
Stop Lashing Your Bowels
with Harsh Cathartics but
take ''Cascarets."


Everyone must occasionally give to
the bowels some regular help or else
suffer from constipation, bilious at
tacks, stomach disorders, and sick
headache, But do not whip the bow
els into activity with harsh cathar-
tics.
What the liver and bowels need is
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm.
The gentlest liver and bowel tonic
is "Cascarets." They put the liver
to work, and cleanse the colon and
bowels of all waste, toxins and poi.
sons without griping-they never
sicken or inconvenience you like Cal
omel, Salts, Oil or Purgatives.
Twenty-Five million boxes of Cas-
carets are sold each year. They work
while you sleep. Cascarets cost SO
little too. -Advt.

STANLEY PULLS
 "RAID" ON CITY
 OFFICERS HOUSE

Charles F. Chowenhill, a civil en- gineer of 63 Parrott avenue, is prob ably the angriest man in Bridgeport today, as the result of a raid which was made on his house Saturday night by members of the Bridgeport police department.
 According to reports, the police re- ceived an anonymous letter some time ago, telling them that gambling was going on at 63 Parrott avenue. The officers took no action on the case until Saturday night, when seiz- ed with a "raiding fever' they de- scended upon Chowenhilrs house for the purpose of rounding up the ''gamlers.'
 The raiding party was headed by Police Commissioner John c. Stanley, and included Detectives Simon, Wheeler and Derrick. When the of- ficers arrived at the house they found no one there except Chowen- hill and his family, none of whom were engaged in any kind of a gambling game. The officers learned too late that someone had evidently given them a wrong tip" on the al- legged gambling house. Chowenhill, who is employed in the City En- gineer's office, appeared at police headquarters today, and expressed in- dignation over the affair of Saturday night.

DEFINITE CAMPAIGN
 TO RESTORE PLACES
 TO BOSTON STRIKERS
Meeting Between Police
 Commissioner and La
 bOr Leaders is on Un- official Basis New PatrOlmen Appointed.

Boston, Sept. 15-A definite campaign to regain for the striking policemen the places now officially declared to have been lost because of desertion of duty was expected to be in augurated today. The action was expected to depend upon the result of a conference be- tween union labor leaders and Police Commissioner Curtis.
 The commissioner at the request of the union heads consenting the meet Ing on an unofficial basis, but the la bor men said they hoped to obtain from 1t an exchange of views which might be made the basis of negotia- tions
 Those included in the proposal to meet with the commissioner were Frank II. Mccarthy New England organizer of the American Federation of Labor; President John F. McInnis of the Policemen's union, and Presi- dent O'Donneu of the Central Labor Union.
 The extent to which the American Federation of Labor would support the fight for reinstatement and re- cognition as a union was in doubt to- day. Immediate danger of a general strike. threatened by the Central La bor Union, as it's principal weapon in support of the patrolmen appeared removed by the disposition of the la bor leaders to move slowly.

 KING MOVE

Although closest friends of John T. King attended the Republican sheep roast at New Britain Saturday when it was expected that a reunion of the King and Roraback forces would be effected, it is doubtful according to the reports current today, that any thing along such a line was accom- plished.
 King was not present at the dinner nor was Will H. Hays, chairman of the national Republican committee. It is declared by the upstate politi- clans that King had considerable to do with Hays absence and that it was a rebuke to the Rorabackers for their slight to King when none of them attended a dinner which he gave in Bridgeport some time ago.
