Dorothy Popular
 During November
What shall we name the baby?

What shall we name the baby?
 Dorothy, Elizabeth. Helen. Anna. William. Robert or Edward. That Is If you wish to choose the names most popular for Bridgeport babies.
 During the month of November ents of girl babies than any other name and Joseph by more parents of boy babies.
 The fashion fin chiidren's names Is obviously changing. Past are the days when Mary and John were the most popular names and past. too. the period when Maggie, Annie, Liz zie and Katie were commonly given at the christening. In all of Noven- Der there was only one of this group bestowed upon a child and that the name Annie.
 Parents seem to be leaning toward the more fancy names for girls, al- though the high standing of Eliza beath, Helen and Anna, of the old est of women's names, would indicate that they are not being influenced entirely by the movie stars. The most popular combination of names for girls seems to be Mary Elizabeth. For the others favor seems to be di- vided among the Charlottes. Lillians, Ahces, Dorises, Barbaras, Gertrudes,
 Lorettas, F'lorences, Margarets, Braces, Ednas, Sharleys, Maries, Su- sans. Katherines and Beatrices.
 Bridgeport mothers are not giving their daughters faddtShly spelled names and there was only one really unusual name given during the mt onth, "UlIaIne." One tiny girl was named "Bobbie May" possibly in compensation for the boy 1t was hoped she would be.
 Next in popularity to Joseph, as a name for boys. John and William are about evenly matched. William Is also the fayorfte middle name. Following these come George, Albert i and Raymond, ranking evenly. and then Frank. James, Jack, Jacob, Frederick. Thomas and Kenneth, which are also equal in popularity. Then there are Arthurs, Harrys, Rodericks. Francfses, Towards, Mall 1 colms, Ronalds, Lesters. Leroys, Charles, Walters, Mtchaels' Louises, Andrews and Alexanders.
 It is still quite popular to give a boy his mothers last mime for a | middle name. but most of these youngsters are given some fairly | common first name.
 l Another interesting gact is that ! many of the foreign parents, Or es- pecially chi1lren of couples whose
 own parents were foreign born, seem | to turn to American first names for | their children, especially to such names as Shirley.

 OPERATION?
 Please tell me if there is any help for a woman who has been married nearly three years and has no chill dren? Some women don't want children. Others can't live without them. I'm one of the women who ean't. would suffer anything if only I could have just one. Our doctor said needed an operation, husband won't consent to an opera ton. Two years ago had an oper- ation for appen ndicitis; the following Winter I had six attacks of quincy, which seemed to poison my blood. l suffered dreadful pain from rheuna- tisrn.

He that hath not health hath
 nothing. ATVTaCR APHIG SKIN

Do you know of any cure for der mography, also called autographic skin? I have had it now for seven years and, at any time, write all over it. Have been to a number of doctors here but everything I take seems to make me worse. One doctor said he had seen it before but never knew of anyone to have it so long, or for the writing to stay so long on the skin. He says it is wonderful the way I can write on it, but it Is very annoying at times and would like to get rid of it if possible.
 Answer: The above, or "Dermogra- phy'' are just highbrow expressions for giant hives, about which I am mailing you full information. You can write ''hives' or any other word pr words along a persons arm or back in weltS and the words or let ters will remain some considerable time perhaps a quarter of an hour.

The proposed game law, if we have
interpreted it correctly, would force
farmers to buy a hunting license to
shoot ground squirrels on their own
farms; oblige citizens to secure
license to raise rabbits, song birds or
ornamental birds and would levy trib-
ute upon gun and ammunition deal
ers, hotels and restaurants, and keep
nary, as we interpret the bill, she'd
have to buy a license or feed the bird
to the cat, and maybe she'd have to
have license to do that, and license

Wheat is now worth in the neigh
borhood of $1.25 per bushel at Pa
louise country points. When harvest
began it was worth from 1925 to $3.50
and there was big demand for it.
Any one who had wheat and wanted
to sell 1t at that time and those
prices could have done so. The man
whose wheat was ready for market
and refused to take those abnormally
high prices because he wanted more,

RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid
Exposure and Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat less
meat, drink lots of water and above
all take spoonful of salts occasion
ally to keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine
The pores Of the skin are also
means Of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism

ounces of Jad Salts; put table /

uric acid by stimulating the kidneys ,
