in Thirty Years and Are
Happy.

Hale and hearty on their golden, we'd
ding anniversary, which they are cele-
brating today, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Wolf. of 55 Valley street, South Orange,
proudly make the unusual boast that
neither of them had to have the as
sistance Of a physician because of ILL
ness for the past thirty years.
A feature of the observance was
when the aged couple, at a high mass,
celebrated In their honor at 5 O'Clock
this morning, knelt at the same altar
in st. Mary's German Catholic Church.
High and William streets, this city,
at which they were welded fifty years
ago.
Tonight they will be given a big re-
ception at their home by their many
friends from this city and the Oranges.
The celebrant of the mass was the
Rev. William Koelhoefer, curate of st.
Mary's Church and a nephew of Mr..
and Mrs. Wolf. They were married
by the Rev. Rupert Seidenbusch, the
prior of that church.
Mr.. Wolf Is a native of Hessen, Ger
many. He is rs years old, and Mrs.
Wolf Is four years his junior. Each
came to this country at the age of I
years, m at once made their homes
In Howard street, this city, where they
lived until moving to South Orange,
six years ago. They both attended st.
Mary's P%arochial School, which Is con-
nected with the church, and 1t was
going to and from school that re-
suited in them being welded.
l. For many years Mr.. Wolf was in the
tailoring business, from which he re-
tired Upon going to South Orange to
live. While attending st. Mary's

A party they attended yesterday

given by Albert G. Whaley, a well-to-

reason for his home in Irvington ave-

today. Burglars entered the house, but
it is believed that the noise of the
children talking frightened them off,

When the family went downstairs

unattached. A chair was found at the
window with a rum broken.
1t is supposed that the cracking noise
heard by Mrs. Whaley early in the
morning was the burglars making their
exit in a hurry when she turned on the

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter Howa
Woman May Try to Make Them.

1t does not matter how beautiful a
woman may be. If she Is afflicted with
bad breath she will be Stunned and
pitied by men, and even women will
studiously avoid her. asasx
If n woman doubts this statement
let her make a point Of asking a friend
in whom she may confide, a man friend
or relative. If he be honest he will tell
her that foul breath from the mouth Of
a woman will drive men from her more
rapidly than any other personal affiic-
ton.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust,
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of ~self-denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural repug-
nance which comes to man when he Is
in with such a woman.
What is true of bad breath in woman
is not true in so great a degree In men.
Women are looked upon as the incar-
nation of sweetness, breeding, virtue
and refinement. Foul breath will sicken
a man so that he mo feel for such
a woman a companionship necessary TO
make him desire to be in her company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or wonen
Charcoal. the strongest absorbent
known. when taken into the stomach,
will prevent this r%epugnant tendency
or affiiction.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
in tremendous quantities all over Amer

breath to humiliate you, eat several of
