A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much mora prompt and satisfactory when 1t is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has be- come settled in the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There Is no danger in giving ii to children. for it contains no harmful substance. It is pleasant to take-both adults and children like it. Buy 1t and you will get the best. It always cures.

that he Thought the building would

EFFECTS OF FRUIT ACIDS.
Many Kinds of Bacteria Are Quickly
Dispatched by Lime and
LEMON Juices.

1t is a matter of common knowledge
that fruit juices exert a most beneficial
effect in the treatment of scurvy and
similar ailments, and their action on the
typhoid bacillus and the colon bacillus,
which are the cause of many forms of
acute intestinal and other diseases, has
been studied IN a considerable scale by
DR.. Reynolds, health commissioner Of
Chicago, says the London Telegraph.
He finds that the juices of different spe-
cies of lemons vary very materially in
germicidal effect, that from some speci-
mems requiring as much as ten per cent
to kill all the exposed germs. Lime
Juice, apple juice and grape juice all
have a more or less ~inhibiting effect, but
the bottled grape juice sold at grocery
stores gave the most conclusive results.
Distilled and tap water were infected
with the bacteria, and bottled grape Juice
added in proportions varying from one
to five per cent. Examination showed
that some brands had killed the germs
at the end of the first minute, as did also
the lemon juice of a proper strength.
Strangely enough, the freshly extracted
juice of the grape, prepared in the labor
'atory, had no effect, even in the proper
ton of 100 per cent.

STREET @SPR|NKL|NC
IN PLAINFIELD.
Under Municipal Control in that
CITY and Gives SatisfaCtiCE-
Eight Carts.

Under the new regime of municipal
street spIinkling in Plainfield a few
interesting facts ave been collected
showing what is being done by John
Kelly, who has the contract for this
work. There are eight sprinkling
carts used in keeping the dust down
in all parts of the city. Each wagon
holds 600 gallons of water and during
a recent dry spell these carts were
emptied a great many times IN one
day. Nearly every day in the the
business part of the city twenty-five
cart loads of water are placed on the
streets before IL O'Clock noon.
Mr.. Kelly says that on one extra
dry day m cart was emptied sixty
two times and this Just about kent
the dust off the streets. A great deal
of territory is covered BY the eight
wagons and the residents are better
satisfied than at first is evidenced by
the fact chat not n complaint has
been received during the past week.
During very dry weather it is exceed
ingly difficult matter to keep the dust
down as the sun absorbs the water
almost as fast as it is placed on the
streets.

LONG-LASTING TASTES.
FIaxOrs of Some Things Come Bach
to One After the Lapse of
Many Years.

ut is a curious thing how the flavors
Of certain things will come back to a
man after the lapse of many years" said
~ observant man, according to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, "and often
without any sort of an excuse, unless we
are to rely upon rather finely spun theo-
ries for an excuse. Many years ago l
took to cod liver oil. Men who have
taken cod liver oil will understand that
there is no special reason why n
should forget the peculiar flavor of this
article. But my experience is not sim
ply a question of memory. | have ex-
~perienced the physical fact, not once,
but a number of times since l quit taking
it. Even to-day the taste of cod liver oil
came back to me, and it was as fresh on
my palate as it was when l last put it
there. Now, why is this? Why should
| taste cod liver oil years after l quit
taking it? l cannot say. l cannot be
mistaken when l say | experienced all
the physical symptoms of the taste.
Were it not for this fact / might account
for ii on the ground of association. Some
fact, or something or other, intimately
associated with the fact of taking cod
liver oil, might have caused me to re-
member rather wildly the taste. But
things remembered, no matter how vivid
the picture, no matter how intimate b
associated fact which brings the picture
back, are not as fresh as the things of
the moment. I taste cod liver oil, feel
it on my palate, and, in fact, experience
all the physical unpleasantness of the
dose, and I'm sure the fact cannot be &C
counted for by the theory of the associa-
ton of ideas. 1t is up to the DOCTOR"

SITUATION
UNCHANGED.
Machinists at Crescent Ship
ward Elizabeth Still out
on Strike.
WORK is GOING ON.

The situation 1t the Crescent ship
yard is UNCHANGED, the machinists on
strike being still determined TO fight
their battles to'a finish.
Regarding the duty of the pickets
on guard they are still vigilantly hold
ing up those who apply for work and
to a great extent prevent many work
seekers from entering the yard. AS a
general rule, the prospective april
cants for work are men ignorant of
the existing strike and who immed-
lately take their departure upon learn
ing of it. Two non-uniou machlnlsts
from Moore's were induced to quit
work yesterday, and one from the
Crescent yard.
About twenty drillers are at work,
many of them being non-unionists.
There seems to be hardly any objec-
tions to these n~on-union men work
ing. With the several non-union
machinists at work are several 'help-
ers'' who were former members OF the
now defunct helpers union.
At the yard there is plenty of work
being done. Yesterday the yacht Rea,
with her own officers and crew, Presi-
dent Chace, Chief Engineer j. Soul
len, Captain Cox and the Rea's master,
Captain Collins aboard, had a trial
trip outside the Hook. Her average
speed was fourteen knots, and AS the
vessel wal in no way given a severe
trial this record is remarkable. 1t
was merely intended as a test of the
new engines. She will have an official
pip next week.
The Czarina will also have her trial
J trip probably toward the end of the
week.
The Cruiser Chattanooga is still in
the hands of Sheriff Coriell, whose
three deputies vigilantly stand a four
hour shifting guard. This vessel was
seized by the sheriff on an order
issued on behalf of the Babcook &

was for an unpaid bill for furnished
