Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach ID "weak"

assimilate. the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as consequence of "weak stom-
ach, there may be weak lungs, "weak"
heart, "weak" or torpid liver, vweak"
nerves. etc. By curing diseases Of the
stomach and other organs Of digestion
and nutrition, uGolden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of healthy body. 1t increases the &C
tivity of the blood-making glands, and
so increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid of the body.

Aroused at last by the frightening to
death of Miss Loretta A. Pfeiffer in
Little Coney Island, near North Ber-
gen, the police of upper Hudson Coun-
ty are determined to stamp out the
disreputable resorts of that locality.
Crooks from New York City have
flocked there for several years without
interference. Strong arm" men,
''yegg" men and an organized gang of
''creepers" have fiourished. The hood
lums and ruffians frequently disabled
the electric lights along the Hudson
Boulevard loop to aid their work.
Many couples have been held up.
When money was not Immediately
forthcoming, threats to drag the wom
an into the woods to assault her were
often made, which generally brought
forth the money from her escort The
notorious resorts in that locality have
aided the "creepers." They have at
traeted many strangers, who have
made it impossible for decent women
to use the trolley cars Saturday and
Sunday evenings, owing to the drunk
en- bullies that infest them. County
Physician Converse, of Hudson Coun-
ty, examined the body of Miss Pfeif-
fer and gave it as his official opinion
that the girls death was due to heart
disease. He confirmed the report of
the physicians who were called after
the girl was found dying on the porch
of Sulliyan's hotel that there had been
no attempt at assault.

Music For Restless Girls.

The trustees of the State Home For
Girls have been working for some time
to secure funds for instruction in mu-
sic for the inmates, with the result
that Mrs. Henry Birkholz will next
month be installed as music instructor.
The funds for her salary and inciden-
tai expenses come from friends Of the
institution, The idea came to the trus-
tees while they were listening to the
girls sing. A new girl would come to
the home, bringing with her the new
est popular songs, and in week all
would be singing the new songs.
When the girls became restless sing
ing would set them right. The in
mates will be given instruction in the
piano, guitar, violin and other instru-
ments, and in a short time the home
will have it's own orchestra.

they can accomplish great good in the

most notable which are to be put to
the credit of the women college grad
