Joseph H. Beers, of Trenton, testifes
that he caught severe cold which settled
on his lungs; was treated by his family
physician for 2 months, but grew worse.
He told him he had consumption and nc
medicine could cure him. A friend of
the family advised him to get Stretch
Balsam. He bought bottle and to his
delight found prompt relief. He con
tinued its use, and after taking six bottles
found himself sound and well, able to do
his work, and feels as well as he ever did.
All the leading druggists and storekeepers

The examination showed, however, that
only So per cent. of material called fol-
had been used This engineer was pres
ent, and said if he had not already signed
the approval he would not do so.
Mr.. Conrow's resolution was adopted
1t was ordered that the sum of 800 be
transferred to the bridge account of East
ampton township from any unexpended
balance
Specifications for a stone road from Mile
Hill, Bordentown, to the Trenton city
line, were presented, and were read in
full by Clerk White.
Mr.. Conrow thought that too little at
tention was paid to grading. Large bills
are continually presented for ratings to
protect dangerous places along roads. If
more attention was given to grading,
these ratings would not be necessary. In
addition to being an expense they narrow
the road, and when a person driving meets
a loaded truck team the passage is much
INSTRUCTED, as the drivers of the latter are
either asleep or refuse to give fair share
of the road
The specifications were adopted as read
Auditor Gibson offered his bond which
was approved. 1t was for 81 900, and was
signed by Benjamin w zelley, Philip
Haines and Joseph S. Gibson
Mr.. Conrow asked a question in connec-
ton with the Office of Auditor He want
ed to know if it was not the duty of that
official to pass upon all bills before they
were presented to the board. Under the
present system bills are given to commit
tees, who are compelled to look over them
during the session of the board, and thus
lose portion of the proceedings, to say
nothing of being in the position of audit
ing their own bills.
Mr. Fairbrother did not see how any
change could be made. If the Auditor
had to examine the bills in advance, he
would have to be in possession of them
about month before the board met
The general impression prevailed that
the present system was all right, but that
members should present vouchers for
every item in their bills
This concluded the business and the
board adjourned The following bills

We live in country in which the prin-
cipal scourge is stomach trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other
disease, and, very nearly, more danger
Gus.
One thing that makes it so dangerous
is that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would
be more feared, more easily cured, less
universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes
to the root of the trouble as no other med
icine does. The pure, harmless, curative
herbs and plants, of which it is compos-
ed, are what render it so certain and, at
the same time, so gentle cure
1t helps and strengthens the stomach,
purifies and tones up the system.

Cambridge Springs, Pa, and owned by

birth within Few hours to four heifer
calves. The calves were born May s.,
1897, and were sired by Shorthorn
bull. The mother is half Holstein and
half Durham, showing the size and
build of the Durham and color of the
Holstein At present she is eight years
old, and weighs 1860 pounds in fair con-
dition. After the birth Of the calves
she gave sufficient milk to raise all of
them up to weaving time. Throughout
the winter the calves had light feed

combined weight of the four was 1850
