Besides the spiritual side of
family life, and necessary to
that side. is the material life
and surroundings that extend
from the front door to the top
floor, down again, and out to
the back door.
Comfort, without foolish osten-
tation, the atmosphere. affec-
tionate, sincere, loyal, and
artistic, that make the home
always thought of and forever
remembered, must depend to a
large extent upon material sur
roundings.

BOTH SOL0ISTS FOSTER CAUSE OF
 AMERICAN MUSIC

Because Mabel Garrison and Rein ald Werrenrath are both Americans of old and prominent families, they both do much to foster the cause of American songs and consequently much of their joint program for next Sundays concert at Polls theatre will include such songs.
 MT. Werrenrath has probably done more to put American songs Of merit before the public than any other nu sician of standing. Early in his ca reer he startled the followers of tra- dition by singing a considerable part of his programs in English. He de- tern:ined whenever he came across an American song that had real merit he would do his best to make 1t appear popular. But he never chose such a song simply because it was Ameri- can.
 It is the fact that both Miss Gar rison and Mir. Werrenrath can and do sing American and English songs that have made them both So popular as home singers throughout the coun- try Victor record sales prove that they are among the most beloved of all singers in America today.
 It is expected that a capac city au- dience will be present at Sundays concert as the opportunity of hearing tn csc two singers together is a rare one. Rudolph Steinert, manager of the Steinert Series of Famous Artists concerts in which course they will ap- pear, is to be congratulated upon bringing two such popular singers to Bridgeport.

.KARM C0MP ANY REDUCES PRICE
 0F COAL TOS13.5O

The Karm Terminal Company takes the lead among city coal dealers in reducing the price of coal to $13.50 per ton. Officials of the company to- day stated that due to the abolition of the government tax on coal their company would give the benefit of this saving to the people by making the reduction stated.
 This in connection with the return of the o1d-time, 16-ounce loaf of bread, announced by a local grocery store indicates a sincere desire in some quarters to lower the cost of living essentials.
 There are no greater necessities than coal and bread, and 1t is ex- pected that the prices of other equally important commodities will soon take a similar drop.

WOmen's Club To
 Remain In Its
 Present Location

The Business and Professional Women's club will remain in their present headquarters in the Liberty building for another year. Members of the club have feared for some kirne thats they might not be able to retain their present club roonS after fne conclusion of their lease, but ar engagements have now been made so that they may remain.
 The excellent central location of &heir present rooms has proved big drawing card with members and it was feared moving to some place less asseccible might cause a falling off in attendance.
 The fact that the club is to remain sn it's present location has caused oon- siderable e1atton among everyone of its hundre of members.

LONDON WOMEN SMOKE PIPES
 AND CIGARS

London, Jan. 1o-Wonnen of May fair not only smoke pipes and cigars, but they are fost particular about brands and blends and in some in stances a better judge of the weed than men.
 There have been rumors for a long time. There have even been pictures of the pipes in the daily press But been bold enough to tell in detail what's what in smart feminine smoke land.
 we have kept a stock of pipes for women and have been selling them for years," is the amazing announce ment of the proprietor of one select shop.
 A diamond -tudded pipe selling for $40 was one of the Christmas gifts 1n display just off Piccadilly The ma jority of the women's pipes are dainty little briars, with squat look ing bowls and thin black stems.
 we have tobacco specially blend ed to their taste" the dealer ex- plains. 'If the first blend is not right we experiment with another blend until exactly the right strength is ob- tained. Each woman customer can have her own special blend made up
 'tIt may surprise you. but we have had women customers buying cigars from us for the past ten years. This year they are buying from us more tha never.
 'rwe have about GO women cigar smoking customers, and these are being added to week by week We import a special srnau-size cigar for them from Havana of a peculiar fra grance.
 'tIt is nonsense to suppose that women cannot tell a good cigar.
 "This year some husbands are buy ing special boxes of Havanas for their women folk. and very careful we have to be in selecting the brand"
 The shop displays women smokers handbags, with pouches and case for tobacco cigars and pipe.

No matter what you eat or drink, even though it be just g. glass of sweet milk, the stomach may rebel and sour almost immediately. In such cases one or two Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets furnish the alkaline effect to offset the acid condi- tion. Quite often the stomach may be overcrovded with partially tIigested food
 A cold bottle of beverage at such times may add to the difficulty and there is gassiness. bilious taste and other distresses due to Indigestion Tray- elers may save themselves much of the discomfort of wayside eating by having them as they can be had in almost any drug store throughout the U.
