New Life In Bermudn Onions.
BLOOMFIELD, N. j., April 3. -
Miss j. Bennett the actress, was two
weeks ago an emacated, dying con
sumptive, her life despaired of by
many eminent physicians, and her con
stiution wreck She is now appar-
emily near recovery. and the latter she
attributes to the wonderful curative
properties of the Bermuda onion, dis
covered by Mark Golinsky, scientist,
who after twenty years of experiment.
ing In three continents claims to have
at last evolved combative agent for
the white plague.
Golinsky, while he has never been
granted q diploma or license to prac-
tice, has made special study of pull
monary diseases in South America, the
United States and Europe.
After specialists had treated her in
vain for year and she had spent some
months in California Miss Bennett re-
turned east to die in her country home
in New Jersey Golnsky heard she
was dying, wired that he could save
her. and he was Immediately sent for.
His prescription, ludcrous as ii may
seem. was onions.
For the last ten days Miss Bennett
has eaten one and a half or two Ber-
muda onions day and taken simple
liver and heart stimulant. With remark
able rapidity she grew in strength, her
appetite returned. and the sunken
cheeks and hollow eyes assumed their
normal aspect

Bennett For awhile prepared my
self to die. II seemed inevitable Doe

They're rich but they didn't buy us

"Well, I hope they don't come again

these paths were in fact one of the

our attention is called to how impassi-

away before their observation-disclosures at
such time. The request on the part
or the summer residents that a fair

pay In yearly taxes to- the town should
be returned TO them in good road work
seems no more than a reasonable one.
The coast resorts of Maine are not
alone in need of such service, but the
communities which are reaping appreci-
able rewards from summer resident
property should take the long-sighted
policy in the matter and be the very
first TO act in their own interest If

great in most of the towns. which in
clude in their borders a populous sum-
mer resort. To tax such property to the
limit If owned by a nonresident and
apply the amount received towards
current expenses, thus lifting the bur
den from the home people. This plan
allows property owners of the town to
bold large acreages Of land at a high
selling value and thus set back the
quick sale and development OF such
property. while they pay tax equiva-
lent to that on farming land only

To balance up the books We believe
most fair-minded persons will say he

equally valuable property by the asses
