a good many preparations containing
iron in one form or another but only
one Iron-LaxT Tonic Pill The package
bears the name of the druggist who
originated it, J. r. Lantagne, and

 ASKED FOR 1920
Quota of Membership for Bridgeport Protective So-
 ciety Is Soon to Swell

If charity and kindness are the monarchs of virtues then the Bridge port Protective society is the queen of organizations in Bridgeport. In one sense of the word it is a char itabIe organization for in what more delicate time can charity in the form of protection be given than in the moment of despair. During these wavering moments, for the past sixty years the Bridgeport Protective as sociation has been on hand and has rendered valuable and priceless as sistance.
 Many organizations which adver- tise themselves as willing to aid all take many precautions before helping the poor victim. In the Bridgeport Protective society it is different. If a woman or girl is in need of assist ance it is given to her at once and the person does not have to wait until their records have been searched for ten years back before it is decided whether or not the society will assist them.
 Hundreds of women and girls who came to our city to work in the muni-
 ton factories during the war were put into respectable boarding houses and the right society by the associa- ton. If the boarding houses could not be found at once the society did not chance to let the person go out of their hands but furnished them with a temporary house at the head quarters in 754 Myrtle avenue. To keep up this work the financial resources must be larger. After do 1 ing so much to make Bridgeport a finer city, all the Organiz ation is ask ! ing is that 5000 more people will be- come members for 1920. Show that i you appreciate the wOrlz the Bridge port Protective society has been doing l by sending your subscription for this
 year to Mrs. Walter S. M!lmot, sos ! StratfOrd avenue.

DEATH CLAIMS MUCH LITIGATED
 FOR BABY BOY

New York, Feb. 21-Death has rung down the curtain in the drama of Love O'Mike" a babe whose moth CT abandoned him and then fought successfully in the courts for his re- turn after another woman had claim ed him as her kidnapped son.
 The heart of New York was touch ed last December when a tiny mite of humanity was left in the Grand Gen. tral Terminal with a note pinned to his clothing saying:
 'For the Love of Mike, take this kid" The note also set forth that the mother was too poor to buy milk for the child. The. babe was taken to hospital and christened ''Love O'Mike.''
 A few days later a distracted wom- an, Mrs. August Wentz, whose seven weeks old baby had been kidnapped. claimed the child as her own. Her husband also identified him. Mean. while, mother-love asserted itself and the babys mother, Mrs. Lena Lisa, reclaimed her child.
 The Wentzes were loath to return the baby, court action followed and a Solomon like Justice awarded the laughing, red haired youngster to Mrs. Lisa. Yesterday Love O'Mike succumbed to pneumonia.

AGED WOMAN
 MUCH SURPRISED
 BY BIG SUPPER

Hartford, Feb. 21-O1d, feeble, blind and lame, Hulda Prindle, 73 years old, has been taken to the Dan bury almshouse by First Selecrman Thornhin of BrookfieId, from the Sanford Home for aged people in Tariffvil1e. The removal of this woman wipes out all doubt as to the closing of the home within a few days, as towns who had residents in the home have notified the state board of charities that they have made arrangements for their re- moval.
 Second Selectman William H. Blackban of Brookfield told "The Courant," last night that the woman, is now in the Danbury alnshouse, where she will be cared for until she dies.
 The old women was surprised to get something more than usual to eat in Danbury, and said that she didn't ex- pect to have anything for her sup pers but bread and tea, without sugar or butter, as this had been her menu for several years past According to the state board of charities, this was all any of the patients at the Sanford home got for Suppers-

He's had Russian blouses and Pe- ter Pants till the wee soul of him just aches for a change. Why not a suit, then, that takes it's inspira- ton from the smock? Here is d most charming example of that type of suit, and one not in the least diff fcult to. make or to launder or for him to wear.
 A cotton poplum or linen or cham bray ought to go practically and be- comingly into the making of this little costume, don't you think? And in tan or blue; maybe a combina- tion of both colors, the suit is cal culated to be quite good to look at, too.
 Now, as far as ''1ines'' are. con- cerned here, the knickers follow the same lines as any other tiny pair of knickers. But the srnock part is just a bit different from the average smock.
 In the first place, it has a collar that is something between a cowl and a sailor. Then it has ratIer a trig ''unsrn ocky'' looking sleeve Finally, it has very tailoI ed looking slot pockets, one at each fside
 For trimming, there iS little else but stitchery and buttons and the aforementioned slot pockets.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

If you do not use all of your knives see that those not used are kept slightly greased with oil or vaseline.
 Brooms are terribly expensive at the present time. Do you want to help preserve yours? If so, dip it for few minutes into boiling water in which a large piece of soda has been dropped.
 To use tin goods with perfect safety employ the following infallible test of preservation: UpoT- the first inser- ton of knife or punch listen for the air, if this is to be heard the preser- vation is perfect; turn out the con tents of all the tins t1nm ediately upon their being opened
