BLADDER TROUBLES.

The bladder was created for one pur.
pose. namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action OF the
kidneys. The second way is from careless
local treatment of other diseases.

We have opened the Holiday Toy
Store that makes glad the hearts of
children, great and small. From
the different toy centers of Europe
and America are gathered all the
contrivances of ingenious brains to
entertain and amuse our Junior
Republic, and, in addition to the
Basement Toy Store, a special
place is also made for toys on our
fourth floor, where you are all in
vlted to see them.
Mechanical toys will attract at
tention flrSt-for children like best
the toys that edo things" There
are hundreds and hundreds of these
"most-alive" things-people and
animals.
All the old favorites, too, are
here, but many of them improved.
The elephants, camels and goats
on wheels are now on strong IRON
wheels, so that the children can
ride instead of dragging them. Base
ball, ten-pins and games of all
sorts; forts, castles, dolls houses,
and-but we can't catalogue them
any list always ends with "and."
It's a wise family that does the
t%oy-buying early. You get the

Prevent
pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act Of that instinct of self
preservation which is 1.-THE first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago | had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. l could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched
condition. | procured a bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound as before the attack. l
have recommended it in many cases of pneu-
monia since, and have never known it to fail
in effecting a cure"
JOHN HENRY, st. Joseph, La.
81 was attacked with a cold that settled
on my lungs, and defed the skill of my ply
sicians so that they considered me incurable.
At last l began to use Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was entirely cured after having taken
two bottles"

OF this paper who prefer having their

Cured near here a short time ago. A
prominent farmers wife wished some
eggs, but her hens refused to furnish her
with any, so she thought she would find
a way to cause them to lay. Going into
the poultry yard she captured a thrifty
looking hen, and after severely shaking
her, fastened her on a nest and returned
10 her domestic duties indoors. After a
little while she, like other tender hearted
women, became conscience stricken and

the answer. but whichever, it came, but

them to both punish and praise, and il

With the election over, the chief topic
in political circles in this State is the
organization of the Legislature, and
there is already no end of candidates for
the various places to be filled. For the
Presidency of the Senate Senator Voor-
bees, of Union; Senator Skirm, of Mer.
GER; Senator Hoffman, of Atlantic, and
Senator Stokes, of Cumberland, are
mentioned. Senators Skirm and Hoff-
man are serving their last year, and
neither will likely return to the Senate,
that body, it would be a fitting close to
the Senatorial career OF either to make
them the presiding officer. However,
Senator Voorhees, is likely to be the most
aggressive in the contest, though ne has
two years to serve yet, and he may re
ceive the honor. In the House Assem-
blyman Watkins. of Gloucester county,
evidently has the lead for the Speaker.
ship, though ~Assemblymen Gledhill, of
Passaic, and Porter, of Essex, are named
as candidates, but neither gentleman has
a winning hand at present. Mr.. Watkins
is perhaps the best equipped for the
place, and, of course, South Jersey
would be glad to see him thus honored.
For the minor Offices in each end of the
Capitol it is yet too early to speak with
any assurance, though there will be sew
eral changes in each body. There is no
lack of candidates, but the fortunate
ones will only be known when the eau.
cuses have named the men. 1t is to be
hoped that the South Jersey members
will not allow the upper part of the State
to monepolize everything again this year.

A Strange Coincidence.

1t is just q little startling that while
the Rev. DR.. Shields was deciding to
leave the Presbyterian Church because
his bretheren in the ministry denounced
the part he took in securing a liquor
license for the Prineeton University, the
Anarchists of this community were pre-
pairing to receive Prince Krapotkin, who
is a graduate of a Russian university.
All the Anarchist meetings the world
over are held in, near or adjoining
saloons, and the fact that Prince Kra
potkin is a university graduate as we'll ats
of the same blood royal as the imperial
house of the Romanoffs, shows that the
Princeton Inn in tie future is just as
liable to turn out dangerous revolutionists
as are the Russian universities and our
own slum drinkeries. Prince Krapotkin
is a scholar and a man Of great ability
and is recognized as a dangerous leader
of the common people who accept his
teachings as truths. At the recent
session Of the Presbyterian Synod OF New
Jersey the report of the estate OF
Religion" indicated that the Presbyterian
Church in the State was standing
still. but the resolutions Of the Temper
ance Committee we're full Of life. The
stings 10 them were the Causes which
moved DR.. Shields to step out OF the fold
Of Calvin. DR.. Shields Is q Princeton
professor who occupies the chair OF Har.
mony Of Science and Revealed Religion
and evidently believed that the gliding
OF a bacchanalian shrine would be an
exempli6cation Of divine revelation. 1t
is just such men as he, with this high
sounding college degree and social stand
ing. who have planted and fostered the
propaganda OF anarchy.
l have also noticed the newspapers are
trying to create q sentiment In favor OF
the Rev. DR.. Shields by telling us that be
believed that by licensing 9 saloon under
the eayes OF Prin cton, adding q beauti
fully designed building as a cover to the
spiRots and gMrills, the students would be
led not to frequent the low-down Prince
ton saloons.
The truth about the Princeton Inn has
been known to readers Of Prohibition
papers for months. 1t Is known that the
students go from the Inn direct to the
town saloons and finish their revels, and
all attempts OF deliberately ignorant and
interected defenders of DIR. Shields to
prove to the contrary will not avail. The
truly religious people of New Jersey have
been denouncing the affair since last
June, and the resolutions Of the New
Jersey Synod were the embodiment of
the widespread sentiment In the
churches. 1t is pleaded in DIR. Shields
behalf that he has written a book en-
titled .The United Churches of the Uni.
ted States" He is an ardent advocate
of church unity, but his act of signing
this liquor license for Princeton Inn with
all his collegiate, theological and pro-
fessional honors thick upon him, has

Some interesting and instructive figures
are contained in the annual report of the
Comp troller of the Currency just given
out, and especially in hat part devoted to
the reports made by the National Banks
of New Jersey as to their condition Cd
October 5 of this year. The report
shows that the banks have an aggregate
capital of S14, AS coo, with surplus funds
of s8, 8 1000 more. and undivided profits
of over 81, 900, 900. The individual
deposits amount to slightly over $57 900,
600. When it is remembered that these
figures represent only one branch of the
banking business of the State, is is easy
to realize that New Jersey is one of the
great commonwealths of the nation in
finances as it is in manufactures and
other matters less material. The figures
also show that assaults upon the none
tary system of the country rebound
heavily on a State with interests requir-
ing the use of such vast sums, and make
it clear why the contraction of the cur
reney through fear an unstable standards
and would bring disaster suddenly upon

Frances Wizards Address.

Miss Wizards address at Toronto
abounded in strong, pathetic parts,
quaint and homely expressions, and was
never more strongly ballasted with
staunch W. C. T. U. doctrine. While
she looks somewhat weary when her face
is at rest, she measured up to the highest
expectations of her enthusiastic audience
when she came to speak. Some of the
parts most interesting to white .ribboners
and to the world just at present will be
quoted from the Union Signal next week.
Her words met the hopes of the trustful
and quelled the fears of the fearful. In
complimenting Toronto, she spoke of it
as a city where no saloon.keeper could
be a member of the city council. And
this is true, she said, in all Ontario.
Even the policemen are largely tenn
perance men, and drunkenness aud idle
ness are almost unknown. Speaking of
the Polyglot Petition, she said that it
was to be "lugged" mp to Ottawa, laid
out before Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and he
would be asked, "What do you think Of
that, sirP'-Union Signal.
