GREAT VARIETY OF CARS SHOWN
 BY DEALERS

Several sales and the prospects of many more marked yesterday at the annual auto show of the Bridgeport Automobile association. This most unique new exhibition is attracting a great deal of attention because the show is being held in the individ Gs ! display rooms rather than under one roof. Visitors are transported from one show room to another by auto mobiles and all deales are boosting the swing around the circle.
 As their cars are shown in their own show rooms, dealers are having a better opportunity for displaying their particular advantages and are better able to hold the attention of the visitor than in the larger hall. The visitor likewise is able to con eentrate more upon each car than when he has half a hundred others within view.
 Never has there been a greater variety of cars in the city than are here for the show. Th9 very latest models in touring cars, sedans. linn cuisines, roadsters and the like, are on display in every show room and the only difficulty is that they are all so alluring in looks, price and equipment, that the would-be purchas- CT is absolutely puzzled as to which to choose.

It is known. in everyone's expert ence that there are epidemics of colds From one case alone practically the whole force of an office, workshop or a factory will, likely as not. pres ently be suffering and that acutely too. An employee coming into the office sneezing, snuffling, wheezy and thick of speech had best be sent home until he has recovered, no matter at what cost or sacrifice-it will be found to pay all around in the end.
 How are colds to be prevented
 The first consideration, in. so far as modern living conditions will permit, is to live the Hygienic Life. This is to rise betir1es, bathe well. eat slowly three meals of wholesome food a day; be in the sun and open air a great deal: drink generously of water, at least between meals; be very moder- ale in or abstain from the use of to- bacco or alcohol No catarrh can be cured as long as a smoker smokes. Tea is far too much the dpple Of Wo- men. One should avoid dusty and foul air; should work only in rooms well ventilated; should go to bed early and sleep. at least, eight hours, with a half hours afternoon nap, at least rest, for those who can have this physiololical luxury; should wear suit abe underclothing all the year round, thin in summer, thick in winter; warm night wear: and wooden socks in bed for those who have cold feet.
 It Is very conducive to cold to get the feet wet Warm footwear and stout water-tight shoes, preferably with cork soles, should be worn. Wo- men will not, but all women should. wear "erctics' or something of that kind, in wet Or snowy weather. Put your chest protector on your feet. ' Cover your chest well. of course, but not so much that free respiration, upon which good health so much de- bends, will be impeded.

Poli Review

There's laughter a-plenty in the bill at Polls theatre this week. To be- gin with, there is Mabel Normand in Molly O. one of the funniest feature films seen here in no one knows how long. Mabel is as pretty and as amusing as ever and she is helped out by a grouch of a father who gives many a laugh.
 The picture has 8 most pleasing plot in which the poor little daughter of a wash woman weds the wealthy and handsome young man of her dreams, but it is developed with com edy rather than with sentimentality, which makes it all the more delight full. It is a relief from the tense ness of the so-frequently seen sex dramas.
 To top this there Is Buster Keaton in '"The Boat" which is one scream from beginning to end and which is certain to reach the hearts of all owners of motor boats in this vicin- ity.
 J. C. Mack & Go. in it's new Mother Goose" version, is another part of the bill which keeps the audience holding it's sides throughout the entire time. The act carries a company of ten and combines the dainty dance of a most attractive chorus with the comedy of the principals.
 The opening act is a most artistic setting with Mankin, the Frog Man as the principal. Only Mankin out does the frog in his ability to twist himself into every conceivable shape.
 Pat Barrett and Nora Cuneen offer most amusing skit in which Bar rett shows up his "S7s years to ex- cellent advantage.
 Conroy and Yates, colored come dians, keep up the hilarious character of the performance with their funny dialogue and jokes.
 Altogether, judged from the way in which the audience responded, the bill this half of the week is one of the most amusing that has been at the house in some time.

LYRIC LETTER.
Dear Henry:-

1 First of all I must say that it is terrible affliction-this letter. writing habit of mine, but then if I didn' |, | how in the world would you folks up the things that you like to know about down here at the Lyric?
 Did you hear that they have new manager at the Lyric. Hen? Well, he Is the originator of that disease called "Pep." Yes, and while he's l "pepping' around he is incid entally digging up some of the greatest little ever heard of. He landed smooth working, double barreled thing to give up this week and called it What Every Girl Should Know" Of course what another one of those things" but that only goes to show that people must not believe all they hear and, only half of what they see. For on my word this one Is not one of those things at all Really it is a 'ipippo" Of a little show and it works both ways, at least that's the way it seems to me. It not only shows you what should know. Miss Nudsen shows girls how to pick a winner for a hus- band and Minor Watson shows the boys how to pick a regular girl for a. wife. Of course they both pick each other naturally. The whole secret is in the way to go about it. Doggone it Hen, you know that Miss NudSen keeps getting cutter and better every time one sees her. not to say anything about the rest of the crowd that plays win her, and they sure showed us some clever stuff last week you will have to admit, and while thds weeks bill 1s not so dramatic it sure is one smooth little show and not at all what one would think it would be by the title. So all aboard Hen, buy an tout card'' from that cobbIseone paved town of yours and IGl have the seats reserved for you at the box office.
 Yours until the mornings milk is safe on the porch.
