CHAPTER XXVII.
 My Bottle.

As told you last week most doc tors believe giving us babies one bottle "a day is very wise. Still there are some doctors who don't believe so, and you Mamas had better see your own baby doctor about this. With a very few Mamas, the interruption of the regular feeding may lessen the milk supply. This does not hap pen with my Mama, she will stop the bottle quick as your eye could snap. Another thing she could do, of course, would be to express the milk from her breast at the period she would have nursed me otherwise.
 I told you that I had one ounce of milk and two ounces of water and that Mama was going to increase the milk one-quarter of an ounce a day until got half milk and half water.
 If 1 had all bottle feelings. she would not increase the proportion so rapidly as this but one-quarter of an ounce every third or fourth day.
 - I will have no sugar in my I.1ix- ture until am thoroughly used to the new milk; then Mama will put in one quarter of a level teaspoon full of sugar for two days. She will increase it one-quarter of a teaspoon full every three days until I am hay ing level teaspoonful in the mix ture. This is not to make it sweet for me but because it adds to the food value.
 Mama will use ordinary granulated sugar because I am strong and heal thy and will be able to digest it; but if had a weak digestion, or if I were not so strong, she would use. malt sugar.
 My feeding is prepared in this way. Mama takes little more than the amount of water that the mixture re- quires and boils it thoroughly; then she adds the milk which is taken from the bottle well shaken so the cream is we'll mixed in it, and she boi1S that with the water for two or three min utes, stirring it constantly so that no scum will form on it. This boiling is done to make the milk more easily digested and Mama will stop doing this after two or three weeks when am used to it. Of course we are getting the best certified milk which means there will be no danger of

JACMEL IN HAITI,
 GETS PROSPEROUS

Jacmel, Haiti, Sept 22-Haiti is fast wrestling from the island of Cur acao. in the West Indies, the mon opoly in the eXportation of sour or ange peel used for the havoring of Curacao, Amer Picon and other hqueurs made in France, Holland and Denmark.
 In July JacmeI exported 1s9,0o0 pounds of the dried peel valued at S42,000 to Hamburg, from which it is in turn shipped to the principal European markets. This amount is sixteen times greater than the total for any one month in the last nine months.
 Sour orange trees grow here with practically no care, and the Jacmel district is especially prolific in the type held in such high repute in Eur ope. The price paid to the peasant averages between two and three cents Q, pound ,and for each pound the peas ant must pick and peel and drive into market 50 oranges. In Hamburg the selling price, f. O. b. is P cents a pound and Jacnel is enjoying a boom in her rapidly-expanding industry.
 Exports from Hamburg from a ago were to the effect that the Jae- mN peel was superior to the Curacao peel.
 Jacmers exportations of the peel to the United States, where it is used for havoring extracts and medicinal preparations, also more than doubled last year. This years figures will show a considerable increase over the T5, ,596 pounds shipped in 1921.

NOVEL DELIVERY SYSTEM OF DRUG
 AGENTS EXPOSED

London, Sept. 22-Scot1and Yard is conducting an intensive campaign , against West End drug trafhckers whose activities of late are said to have greatly increased. Some of the methods used in delivering drugs to the purchaser are described in a re- cent report.
 Fourth lamp-post on the right a tsafficker whispers in the ear of a cocaine victim. He passes down the street, and with the aid of chewing gum fixes a little white packet on the fourth /1amp-post. The purchaser follows at a discreet distance and re- moves the packet
 Another trafficker drops rolled onl- nJbus tickets on the pavement. He is followed by string of clients. who pick up the tickets, which of course contain cocaine.
 Another throws an appare ntiy empty match. box into the gutter. A minute or so later a customer picks it up and extracts one or more pack cts of cocaine.
 Another trafficker keeps the drug in the turned-up ends of his trousers. He advises his customers where he will walk, and as he goes along he stops as if to fasten his bootiace. In reality he is placing q packet of CO., caine on a doorstep, whence a cus- tomer picks it up.

Miami. Fla, Sept. 22.-Coooanut Grove,s Florida, seems to have all sorts of odd jobs put up to it and some of them are certainly corkers. First 1t was mailing coconuts, which gave all sorts of trouble because they always seemed to want to roll all over the blooming post office and even out onto the main street, which, of course, would never do. But this was finally taken in hand and a very certain remedy found for the trouble. Post master Smith was content for a time feeling that at last he had solved every mystery and life would be sweeter for him thereafter.
 But such was not to be the case. The mango crop came along and people began mailing mangoes by the scores, yes, even by the hundreds, and Postmaster Smiths troubles began all over again.
 Anyone who has ever sat in a bath tub and eaten a mango knows what slushy propositions they are. Now if you can imagine mailing them and you can picture the proposition that Postmaster Smith was up against. At first it was feared that he would have to install bath tubs in the post office in order to make the mailing of the mangoes possible. On second thought, however, it was decided that a post office was no place for a bath tub, OF rather for bath tubs, so this solution was dropped.
 But the mangoes continued to come

Birth Rate In Haiti Makes The
 Island Populous

-Au-Prince. Haiti, Sept. 22.- With ratio of three births to each death. as shown by vital statistics for the first six months of 1922, Haiti is rapidly increasing in population and is free from race suicide. A striking phase of this increase is that the difference in male and female babies is negligible - The gradual adoption of American sanitary meth ods, the improvement of the agri- cultural yield, and the cessation of Haitain revolutions with their con siderable toll of deaths and hard ships that were reflected in succeed ing generations, are responsible for the marked increase in naturally prolific people. Last year the ratio was two to one.
 Haiti's native population, when she revoIted against France in 1791, was slightly over half a million. Today it is estimated at 2,500,000, a steady and normal increase.
 Prior to the American occupation no vital statistics were collected by the Haitian government. Estimates of the population were made by the ed. A system inaugurated by the American Sanitary Service, cooper ated in by the Haitain gendarmerie, is beginning to yield results of grow ing accuracy. The first six months of this year showed an increase of 60 per cent. of the communes making census. as compared to ten per cent. last year.

Does anybody alive today know who named Bridgeport the Park City,? It was a little boy who. oven seventy years ago, was clerk lh street, exactly where the western side of the up-to-date Public Mark ct building is now located
 There were no delivery wagons in those days, so citizens were obliged to carry their purchases home in their arms CT else cail at the store in their carriages or wagons and take them home in style.
 It was fashionable for those who owned a carriage with a driver on the box to dash up to Joys market and call out the lone clerk Arthur French, to serve them while the horses champ these fashi enable turn-outs held de- Hghtful converse with pedestrians who happened along. And there was plenty to talk about, then, as well as row! Du1ing these hours Joys lit tie clerk was kept busy hustEng in and out with the necessities of life.
 No Delivery Wagons Then.
 None of Bridgeport'S grocery stores possessed delivery wagons until Chat terton and Bradley came to town with many new-fangled ideas and located on the conner directly opposite to Henry Shelton's home on Main street, where now stand the front doors of the D. M. Read company's store. Chatterton and Bradley also introduce ed canned goods to a receptive pub lie. These, and their gayly painted delivery wagons began to draw the custom of Bridgeporters away from other less enterprising stores. How ever, these stores followed the lead er'' and thus began the delivery ser vice which has grown to the enor- nous proportions that it enjoys to- day.
 The stores adjoining Andrew Joys were occupied at different periods by dru OnOdS. Seth Rem edick, celebrated for Benedick's blackberry brandy; Andrew Nash, groceries; John Stevens. drugs; Rev Bronson Beardsley, dry goods; George corner of Main and State streets, Moses Wheeler, drugs, followed by Jennie Hamilton.
 After several years, Andrew Joy gave up his store and joined Russell Brothers in the City .Bakery's gro cery department in the old Mark Moore building at the corner of Bank and Main streets. where now stands the Liberty building. In the course of time MT. Joy died, and so did the Russell brothers. but the httle clerk who started his career in the Joy store on State street grew into man. hood and became a first-class news paperman, as well as a poet of con- siderable ability--also an Elk.
 In the meantime, Rridgeport had grown and in every direction parks were laid out. Then came word from various cities that they were enjoying "pet' names. New Haven was the "Elm City,; Waterbury, the Brass City,; Hartford, the "Ca'pitol City, Danbury, "Hattertown," and so on, until Bridgeport began to want a nom de plume for itself
 Name Suits the City.
 Inquiries were made all over the city as to who could suggest a good and fitting name for Bridgeport. No body seemed able to get it just right until Andrew Joys once little clerk heard the cry So one morning the Union, the paper on which he was employed, came out with: .fWhat S the matter with calling Bridgeport

FACIAL MASSAGE NO. i

Browning wrinkles may be elirni- first be broken. Granted that you discovered how many years it has added to your countenance, you will then be more concerned about the habit than the lines-for the lines may be smoothed out and the tissues un- der them built up again, but if you continue to form these lines the build ing up will do very little toward erad- iGating them.
 So we will begin to correct the habit first. Like all other habits, it Is an unconscious act and if you have already decided against it, it will only need reminder each time you forget. An effective reminder in such cases is a. piece of court plaster, which is spread over the skin after the lines have been smoothed out. This is a relentless little master for every time you forget and begin to pucker up the brow, it will tug away at the skin in proportion to your own offence. If you are in earnest, you will be grateful for the tug and a few days should cure you:
 Having ridded yourself of the cause for the lines, the next thing is to correct the danaa ges. First ap- ply hot water towles to the brow to cleanse and soften the skin and thus prepare it for the coming massage.
