Sheriff John ]. Toffey of Hudson coun-
ty, is justly credited with having general
ly very level head. He is considerab y
talked about for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor, but evidently does not
expect anything to come out of it. To
reporter of the Jersey City Journal he
said the other day 81 think Griggs is
drawing ahead of the other Gubernatorial
candidates. He is gaining strength every
day and it looks now as If he would be
the candidate. In speaking about his
own chances, the Sheriff smiled and said:
81 am not in it. Speaking seriously,
don't think | could afford to take the
nomination. Not on account of the cost
of the campaign, but because | already
hold fairly lucrative office, and 1 would
loose it if | was elected Governor. Ex-
Governors do not amount to much, and
think | will be better off as / am.

David Higgins, of Linvale, formerly
New Markell, East AmweIl tsp, had his
barn, howell, sheep and COW houses and
chicken coops burned on Tuesday morn
ing Of last week. The fire broke out
about O'Clock. Three horses were burn
ed up and one badly injured, all his hay
was burned, together with valuable farm
ing implements. Buildings insured for
5000 aud contents for $650-not sufficient
TO cover the loss. Had not the wind been
blowing in another direction, Mr.. Hig-
gins house would undoubtedly have been
burned. Phe fire, unquestionably was of
incendiary origin, as the tracks of two
men were traced from the buildings
through a corn field. The buildings were
fired in two different places. When Mr..
Higgins reached the buildings the horse
stables were not yet on fire. No reason
can be assigned for the act of the incen-
diaries.

What use is there in eating when food
does You no good-in fact, when il does
you more harm than good, for such is the
csse il it is not digested.
II you have loathing for food there is
no use of forcing it down, for 1t will not
be digested. You must restore the diges-
tive organs to their natural strength and
cause the food to be digested when an APP
petite will come, and with it a relish for
food.
The tried, languid feeling will give place
to vigor and energy, then you will put
flesh on your bones and become strong.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial as made by
the Mount Lebanon Shakers, contains
food already dgested and is dgester of
food as well. Its action is prompt and
its effects permanent.
Doctors prescribe LAxoL because il has
all the virtues of Castor Oil and is palat-
able.

Bloomfield Apgar, an employee in
the Steel Works at High Bridge, % years
old and married, lost leg while at work
on Monday morning of last week. The
Clinton Democrats High Bridge cores
pondent gives the following particulars !:
Mr.. Apgar was engaged in Strengthening
piece of casting weighing about 400
pounds, which was somewhat bent. This
ia accomplished by allowing a bell-shaped
piece of iron, called the "drop," and
weighing about !, 900 pounds, to drop on
it. This drop is raised by the electric
crane, and can be tripped at any height.
In order to protect the casting from de-
Placement by the drop, piece of steel
about 8 inches long, inches wide and Q
inches thick, and weighing about %
pounds, is placed on it where the drop
strikes it. Mr.. Apgar was standing about
six feet from the casting when he trpped
the drop, which had assembled TO the
height of about twelve feet, and II imme-
diately descended with great force, and
striking the piece of steel, sent it flying at
him as though it had been shot from a
cannon. 1t struck him on the left leg,
midway between the knee and ankle and
continued on its course about twenty feet
before its force was expended. DR.. AL
paugh was Immediately summoned and he
decided that ampatation was necessary,
as the bones were broken into fragments.
The unfortunate man was taken to the
Bethlehem Hospital on the 1926 A. M.
train, and his leg was amputated at the
knee joint 10 the afternoon. The latest
reports from the Hospital say he is getting
along as well as can be expected.

CLEAN AND PURE

Is the water when filtered through
a stone Water Filter and Cooler
combined.
Pure water is essential to good
health. IF you wish to be healthy
filter the water you use.
The Filter is of porous stone, ma
lures own process of filtering. 1t
does not allow the filth it extracts
to enter its pores. Impurities never
penetrate, but remain on the out
side surface until brushed off.
No charcoal, sand, gravel, sponge
or metal to rust. The only practi-
cal filter for family use, rendering
the most impure and foul rain, river
or hydrant water as pure and clear
as crystal.
The price is SO low that it may
bias your judgment as to its quality.
We have one at the store. Call
and examine it. Remember, it puri-
fies as we'll as filters.
