TO DEVELOP BIG
TRACT OF LAND
IN EAST ORANGE
Many Handsome Residences
Will Be Erected Along Erst-
while Lovers Lane"

Considerable interest was manifested
today in the sale of the big tract of
vacant land fronting on Park avenue,
East Orange. and lying between Pros
pect street and Clinton street north,
with a frontage OF approximately 800
feet. The sale was contaminated by
Eugene A. Kelly, of East Orange. and
was sold by the estate of Edward
Reed. The purchaser was Charles A.
Morel, of 17S North Seventh street,
Newark, who gave $4,000 for the tract.
The property will be utilized for a
score of high-priced residences expect
ed to enhance the attractiveness of the
residential section. The new Ashland
School, n Of the finest public school
buildings in the city, is nearby, and the
development will make a remarkable
change in the physical appearance of
the section.
Park avenue, it's entire length
through the Oranges, has been built UP
with fine residences, but the section
between Prospect and Clinton streets
has lain dormant. Years ago this space
of roadway was h~umorously dubbed
Lovers Lane owing to it's lack of
light there at that time, a condition
which has been remedied by the East
Orange City Council. A section of
woods or the north side of the roadway
and the absence Of buildings on tho
southerly side had made the promenade
a favorite one for youthful lovers.

his job today in a shoe f~actory-the job
he has held for1nore than forty years
and announced that he was going to
begin life all over again; that he was
going to get married and start in the
shoe business for himself.
Hope is young and bounding in the
breast of Silas Ball. The vicissitudes
of the seventy-nine years through

1t is the merry %springtime of life for
him.
He is preparing to open his own shoe
shop in Watson avenue, near his home.

Well, is there any reason that would
prompt Silas Ball to hasten his we'd

fore him. Why hasten an event of such
Importance?
He has three children and four
grandchildren, but he anticipates with
as keen delight the latest steps he has
arranged to take as the younger folk.

Mr.. Ball has lived with his children
since his first wife's death, about two
years ago. He is now residing with
his son Hiram Ball at the Watching

tiyes in Irvington, in which peaceful
community he spent many happy
years.
He has two children now living there,
Lowell Ball, a son, and Mrs. William
Personette.
Mr.. Ball is a veteran of the Civil
War and served his country for three
years. He was wounded three times,
but recovered from the effects and en-
joys excellent health.
He is erect as a man Of fifty, and
the statement that he is neal four
score years old seems a tax on credul-
ity when one studies the energetic
man and his movements. His son
Hiram philosophically agrees that his
parents move is a wise one, and is
perfectly satisfied to see him TAX his

Pains In

Caused BY Gas and Foul doors
Speedily Removed By Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package BY Mail, Free.

fIldi dchhse ny mail itt
Pyrosis Gastric PAIN, gastritis and
many other stomach and bowel troubles
cause by formation of gas, are almost
instantly removed by a generous use OF
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
These little lozenges kill bad breath
and stop gas making by oxidizing the
odors and gases. Charcoal absorbs one
hundred times itself in gas. They turn
foul fumes and gases into oxygen,
which sweeten the system. They are
made from pure willow and sweet
honey and are a delightful aid to the
mouth, stomach and bowels. The Jap
anese use charcoal for a toothwash and
ar old Chinese proverb runs thus:
Sweet is the breath of a Niponese"
~(Japanese).
The mouth fluids are alkaline, thus
waste food held by tooth cavities Is
attacked and decays rapidly. causing
foul odors to arise. Charcoal renders
the saliva sweet by oxidizing 1t and
does away with foul lamentations and
decay.
Every druggist carries Stuart's Char
Goa Lozenges and many thousands of
sufferers from gas, foul breadth. etc.
use these little ~lozenges, thus proving
their popularity and their merit. Char
coal is one of the best all-around clean-
sers the system may psrtake of and
too much of it cannot be taken. An en-
tire box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozeuges
may be eaten with freedom and only
good will result.
Go to your druggist Immediately, buy
q box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
ard prove these facts yourself; it will
cost you but twenty-five cents, or send
us your name and address and we will
send you a trial package free. Is this

the youths responded to the efforts of
the priest in their belief has given him
much qualification.

in the parish hall twice a week and will
give a demonstration of its capabilities
during Christmas week. Joseph Basile,
a prominent cornetist, has been in
STRUGGLING the boys.
