HAS REAL MERIT.

There are many preparations on the
market for debility and rundown con-
dition.
Some of these are extensively advertis-
ed Many of them undoubtedly do good.
There is one such preparation, however,
that should receive the careful considera-
tion and the highest commentator of
everyone interested in deciding upon a
tonic lat has real merit and that will
build up the body. This is Puremalt
Puremalt is made by Charles A. King,
of Boston, whose extensive plant has be-
come famous on account of the high
quality of the products which heturns
out In putting upon the market his Won
derful liquid food, Puremalt, he has
awaited himself of the many facilities
that are denied many manufacturers of
what purport to be similar remedies In
buying as he does enormous quantities of
the best malt grown, he is in a position
to select the cream of this commodity,
and to put it aside for the. manufacture
of Puremalt, the great builder.
The result Is that Puremalt as 1t is Civ
en- to the public is a pure, wholesome,
life-giving, body building, nerve invigor-
atjng preparation that is recommended by
physicians everywhere and is recognized
by them as being far superior to many of
the limitations that flood the market to-
day.

FEDERATION PROGRAMME
Marion HarIand and Margaret
Sangster to Speak in Gram
ford May 10.

Amid all the club festivity following
Easter the Executive Committee of the
State Federation of Womens Clubs is
busy completing arrangements for the
State Federation social meeting to be
in Crawford, May TO-
This year there is to be but one ses-
sion. and that will be held in the after
noon. giving everybody a chance to be on
time foh the opening. In this there is
also another advantage. Where the club
is small, as in the case of the Crawford
Club, it is a heavy tax to provide lunch
con for hundreds of women and do it we'll.
BY holding btu one session and that IN
the afternon. the matter of luncheon will
be done away with.
AS yet the programme is not complete,
but the speakers have been chosen. 1t
will be a prose and poetry afternoon,
probably consisting of a debate as to the
relative value of prose and poetry, by
Mrs. Terhune CMarion Harland) and Mar
garet Sangster AS yet the debate has
not ben decided upon, merely suggested
and the afternoons programme may ter
inmate in lecture by Mrs. Terhune and
recitations from her own works by Mar
garet Sangster. At any rate these speak
ers have been secured

ST. MARY'S PASTOR.
Father Ter Woert Seems to Be
the Favorite Candidate.

The only candidate whose name seems
to be mentioned as being likely to fill the
pulpit of Dean Senez as pastor of st.
Mary's r. c. Church, Erie and Second
streets, is that of the Rev. p. H. Ter
Woert. of st. Johns Church. this city.
The parishioners of ST. Mary's are unani-
nous for his appointment and sincerely
hope that Bishop Wigger will appoint
him.
Father Ter Woert was born and edu-
Gated in ST. Marys Parish and was pre-
pared for his first communion and con-
firmation by Dean Senez. who, taking an
interest in him, sent him to college to
study for the priesthood. Since his
ordination he has had charge of st. Johns
Church, and he has worked hard for his
parish. that today he has one of the finest
churches in the city.
There are numerous other candidates,
among them being the Rev. L. c. NJ Car
roll of st. Patrick's and the Rev. Joseph
A. Mcdowell, of St. Paurs, Greenville.
Everyone who is eligible to compete in
the examination must have been a pastor
of church for ten years. The Bishop
will arrive home on May 2. The examina-
tion will take place week later in Seton
Hall College. The Bishop will probably
make the announcement of his selection
about the middle of next May.

The Table Mountain Ropeway.

The ropeway located at Table Mountain
is an important example of a line $3.50 feet
long. 1t consists of a single fixed rope on
which one carrier is drawn to and fro
with an endless hauling rope, the driving
gear having reversing motion so that the
direction of travel of the carrier can be
controlled. Commencing at sea level and
following the ground on posts spaced
about 300 feet apart, the cable takes a
span of 1900 feet rising to a projecting
rock some 1880 feet above the starting
point Resting on a support at this point,
the cable again takes a span of 1,4O0 feet
to an upper terminal 2,2c9 feet above the
lower, one. This ropeway has worked so
satisfactorily that it is not only used for
the carriage of materials employed in the
construction of a reservoir. but is at times
used for passeng gers.-A. ]. S. B. Little in
