SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP TO
GIVE TROLLEY FRANCHISE

The Springfield township committee
has agreed to give franchise to the
Morris Traction Company for it's pro-
posed trolley road from Summit to
Elizabeth. The committee had been
holding up the applicants with de-
mands, which included ten-year fran
chise, electric lights on alternate poles,
a fiye-cent fare, two waiting rooms and
a block pavement between the tracks.
The citizens of the township were,
however, anxious for trolley communi-
cation, and it was believed the de-
mands on the company would be pro-
hibitive. The committee yielded to
their influence, and surrendered to the
company, the only concession secured
being an agreement from the company
to give transfers in Elizabeth if such
a traffic arrangement can be made with
the Public Service Corporation. The
fare from Springfield to Elizabeth will
be ten cents.

YOUR HUSBAND
WORKS TOO HARD

Nearly every wife feels that her
husband works too hard, and
worries because he will not take
the rest she knows he needs. She
sees how tired and exhausted he
is at night and how his sleep fails
to rest him. She knows that his
business is killing him-but she
also knows that he will stick to
his work just as long as he is
able to stand.
If he could only take a vaca-
ton, if she could only get him
away from business for a few
weeks-but that is out of the
question.
1t is in cases of this kind that
Rexall Mucu-Tone proves its rare
value.
We could do a great work if
we could only convince every
woman who reads this newspaper
that Rexall Mucu-Tone will do
her tired-out husband as much good
as vacation - that it will brace
him up physically and mentally,
replenish his waning vitality and
make him strong and well.
WHAT cATARRH REALLY MEANS.
Mucu-Tone is primarily a catarrh
cure, but the term catarrh is very
broad. 1t signifies a congestion
of the mucous membranes due to
the inability of the body, through
close confinement and lack of out
door exercise, to throw off the
poisons that gather in the system,
. condition that affects the entire
organism of the sufferer, causing
him to feel run down, worn out,
weak, nervous and respondent.
Mucu-Tone not only corrects
these conditions, driving out the
poisons and restoring health, but
it is powerful tonic and SYSTEM
builder as well. 1t brings new
