Remedy for Cold In Heao.

An old remedy for a cold, in the
head particularly, and an all over
cold in general, is that Of drinking
much water. Drink at least two quarts
of water daily. Drink it slowly, and
see that the glasses are at least a
half hour apart. Water should not be
taken with the meals. 1t should be
taken half an hour after or before.
A glass Of water upon rising should
be an invariable rule This clears
the stomach of any mucus that has col.
lected overnight. Hot water the first
thing in the morning is better than
cold. Another glass of water (cold,
but never iced water) should be taken
Just before retiring. Iced drinks are
always a shock to the stomach.

 Preqnnnt With Peril

London, Nov. 1.-The international outlook is pregnant with perils, as a result of the outcome of the Greek election, which is generally inter preted as a recal of former King Constantine to the Athens throne, ac- cording to the Daily Telegraph to- day.
 The diplomatic expert of the Daily Telegraph, in analyzing the new European situation created by the Greek election, said:
 '"The British and French will as- suredly not hesitate to declare that they no longer regard Greece as a friendly power if Constantine again become sthe head of the State. The international outlook is pregnant with immediate peri1s. The Turkish peace treaty (treaty of Sevres) may easily be jeopardized."
 Keen regret over the defeat of the Venizelists was expressed by practi- cal1y all of the leading newspapers.
 We can not recall since Aristides the just, a more signal example of popular ingratitude and folly,'' said the Times. ''The Turkish treaty has not yet been ratified and the action of the Greek public may now lead to a modification of public conf dence. The Allies have received a rude shock
 Some British firms have already intimated that they will not trade with Greece if former King Consran- tine returns to the throne,'' said the Morning Post. Tt is possible for the Allies to cancel their loans and pro- duce an economic crisis in Greece

SMELLS
 COST OF JUSTICE

It costs lot of good American money to tell a lie in the City Court when you are arrested and especially when you try to drag the name of one of the members of Bridgeports Finest in the mud and say that he was drunk when he arrested you. William Mosit of 1SS HaHett street, can give credence to this statement, alleged by court officials this morn ing, he paying s25 and costs, which amounted to $29.92, when he was charged with drunkenness and abus- i've language to an officer.
 He was arrested yesterday noon at 12 o'clock by Officer James Renihan Of the Second Precinct, on duty at Ogden and Hallett streets, when he was charged with being drunk and failing to move along when the of f1cer told him.
 You can't arrest me, you're only a traffic cop,'' said Mosit. In court this morning the prisoner said the of fcer was drunk when he arrest ed him and that the exact time of the arrest was 1880 in the afternoon. The sheet showed that the arrest was made at 12 o'clock, which made Mo sit out liar in the opinion of the court. He was reprimanded by Prosecuting Attorney Delaney and further when Judge Wilder told him his little lie would cost him $29.92.

TWO CLEAR UP
 MURDER CASE

Chicago, Nov. 17-Marcus Rrumberg and Harris Jorgenson, two 19 year old youths, were to be questioned further today in connection with the death of Marie Ramey and Lillian Thompson, actresses, the finding of whose bodies in Grant Park early Sunday, added another to Chicago's list ot amazing murder mysteries. Both have confessed that they put the girls out of an automobile at a lonely scpot in Grant Park and left them there.
 Whiskey and exposure caused the deaths of the girls rather than vio- fence, the police believe, but the story told by Brumberg and Jorgen- son will be checked up from every DOSSible angle.

Thought Land True Source
 Of Wealth
Bridgeport Financier Taxed to Collect on $2,377,348- Had Heavy Holdings In Chicago.

Those versed in the statistics )f who's who" of the wealthy men of Bridgeport are of the opinion that the estate of the late Samuel H. Wheeler will otal not less than $S,OOO,OOO, with some deductions perhaps for mortgage and indebtedness. Certainly it will be one of the largest estates ever probated in Bridgeport.
 The foundation oI this great fortune was established by Ma thaniel Wheeler, one of the earliest and greatest of sewing manufacturers.
 Samuel H. Wheeler had lit tie or no taste for manufactur- ing operations. He was of a conservative quality. of mind. Like the Astors and some other famous creators of American fortunes, he regarded land as the true source of value and especially land in communities which were reasonably sure to show a large increase, of pop ulation.
 In consequence of these views Mir. Wheeler sold his interests in the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Co.,, many years ago for a sum said to approximate $1,O00,000. He began to deal in real estate buying slowly, but judiciously.
 He erected the Stratfield Hotel, and acquired the land and buildings all the way from Golden Hill street to and including the considerable cen tral plot which has recently been rented by S. z. Poli, the theatre mag nate, on conditions that represent an ultimate value of $750,000.
 MT. Wheeler acquired the old Hub bell block at Main street and Golden Hill.
 It was a decayed structure which had been built before the city had been ready for it, and it had become the habitat of various enterprises not in good standing with the law.
 He remodeled it; made a first-class office building of it, creating a large value where a small one had existed.

Geneva, Nov. 17-Foreign Minister Pueyrredon, of Argentina, caused a sensation at the opening of today's session of the League of Nations as sembly meeting, by declaring that ali recognized nations ought to be ad- mitted to mem bership.
 Argentina considers that every recognized nation should be taken in to the League of Nations" declared the South American statesmas.
 "Otherwise we shall create danger ous anta gonism and create a new all liance against the League"
 This decIara ton was considered significant in view of the conflicting reports concerning Germany Al though the German foreign office was quoted as saying that Germany would not seek admission it was said that a neutral country might act for Ger many in seeking her entrance into the league.

Thousands of Dollars Worth of Counterfeit Revenue Stamps Taken With Complete Outfit for Man ufacture- Stock Bridge port Saloons With Imita- tion Liquor.

Simultaneously with raids in twenty-six other cities Secret Service men entered the home of Frank Cernes at 235 North 9th Street, Brooklyn, on Mon day afternoon at six o'clock and arrested not only him, but his wife and three other men. In the cellar of the house were found several thousand dollars worth of counterfeit revenue stamps and a complete outfit for their manufacture
 In addition memorandums and let terS were discovered which indicated that the place was the headquarters of nationwide activity in the manu- facture and sale of counterfeit rev enue stamps used by the government on bottle of liquor.

 It is an interesting fact that evil dence first found in Bridgeport and from which the large and intricate notifications were followed out, re- suited in this series of raids and ar rests which the Secret Service men think has smashed the large business being carried on by means of the false labels and stamps.
 When the prohibition laws first went into effect large numbers of illicit stills sprang up and began op- erations but after a time two things operated to put them out of business. (Continued on Page Six.)
