Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed en- tirely bones are spliced pipes take the place of diseased sections Of veins an tiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in one third the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It IS an an,iseptic and when applied to such in- juries, couses them to heal very quickly. It also alleys the pain and soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not To mention the inconveni- ence and suffering which such injuries entail.

PEaILs OF LAID AND SEA.
Captain wiInsfs Remarkable Escape
Shows What to DO In Time or Trouble.

For many years Captain Wilnef, says
the Times of Gloucester, Mass. was one
of the best known seamen in the Glou-
cester fleet. The sea and its dangers
had no terrors for him, but the catarrhal
troubles with which he suffered for ff-
teen years made him dread the nights
at sea, for ne had to walk the cabin
floor, being unable to sleep on account
of the constant catarrhal dropping, 1
Captain Wilnef went to two different
hospitals for treatment, but could get no
lasting benefit. He constantly raised
yellow and green phlegm and his trouble
became SO unbearable and nausea ing
that he was ashamed to go out in com-
pany. When despairing Of ever getting
relief, his wife purchased a Hyomei out
fit for him, and trying it before going to
bed, he enjoyed the first whole night S
sleep for ten years. Captain Wilnef
says: II have used lees than two bot
ties Of Hyomei and have been cured by
the remedy. My friends ask me what
is responsible for my improvement and
l tell them Hyomei, which has given me
full and complete recovery"
Captain Wilnefs experience shows our
readers what to do In time of catarrhal
trouble-use Hyomei. This remarkable
treatment kills the germs of catarrh and
makes lasting and permanent cures. e.
A. Sexton sells Hyomei under his per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money if
it does not give quick relief.

PUBLIC OPINION

Editor Evening News:
The efforts of the Democratic members
OF the board Of alderman to perpetuate in
office a set of democratic officials contra
ry to law, aud the wish of the people as
shown by their vote at the last two cleo
tions would lead one to class them with
the idealist known in these times as foil
overs of frenzied finance of the Lausop
type.
They appear frenzied in their efforts to
retain their offices and it would seem on.
ly logical TO place them In restraint by
sumari'y removing them from the places
of trust which they now hold, in sccord.
ance with the wish of the people, as ex-
pressed.
Can it be that they fear revelations by
their successors in office? Are their rec
ords unolesn? What does it mean?
Surely, when a mans term expires the
party in power have the legal right to fill
such offices, and the effort to fill these
places by men who at that time will have
been relegated to the ranks of the people
by the people, would seem premature and
a usurpation of the rights # their success.
ors. Such acts are revolutionary and will
tend to cause disorder and trouble, endan-
gering the peace ofour city.
Men who violate the law are not fit to
remain in places of trust and the action of
the present democratic members of the
board of alderman confirms the suspicion
of the people and justifies their action in
regulating the democratic nominees at
tho polls at the last election.
Any man who becomes a party to an
act which is in violation of law becomes
amensble to the penalties prescribed by
law. In this case they will be pointed out
as dishonest, unprincipled men, usurpers
of tie rights of others, and the just con
domination of their fellow citizens will
forever remain to haunt thei future pol
i ical ambitions.
When christian men stoop to acts such
S these, what may not others do who
have no respect for the high ideals of civil

TO PROTECT OYSTERS.
Bill to be introduced in'L Legislature

Port Norris, Dec. 27:--The oyster
industry in South Jersey will come in
for serious consideration at the coming
session of the legislature, owing to
the proposed bill to close the Maurice
River cove beds, where oyster spats.
or plants, are propagated.
For years the oystermen of South
Jersey have spent thousands of dollars
for southern seed oysters from Vir-
GINA and Maryland, the local supply
having been practically destroyed.

strikes them the will not be crushed,
ss is the case now.
In support of this bill the oystermen
,laim that the industry has decreased
in the past few years. owing chiefly
TO the failure of the natural growth.
The oyster planting season has been
shortened and the number of licensed
boats have decreased from 867 in 1908
to 289 in 1904. showing q net loss in
labor to 1853 men, The acreage leased
to planters has fallen off from "a, 900
acres in 1908 to 21,o0O in 1904.
To close the beds for a year will
enable the spat to multiply SO that
there need be no scarity of seed .oys5

the oystermen will send a strong
