Asthma is almost invariably associated
with Bronchitis Every asthmatic has
catarrh of the nose, throat and bronchial
tubes. When too long neglected, Asthma
becomes chronic, attacks are of almost
nightly occurrence, reducing the vitality,
totally uniting the patient for active
occupation, and rendering him incapable
OF throwing off the effects of germ-infec-
ton. Consumption quickly follows.
To these sufferers Abbey Syrup, Cloister
Sancto Paulo, comes as a wonderful relief,
allaying the irritation. strengthening the
tissues, stopping the cough, besides acting
as a nerve-builder and tonic. Perfect
health has been restored in many cases
where relief was absolutely despaired OF.
Not only for Asthma, but for every kind
of throat, chest and lung trouble, Abbey
Syrup is an infallible remedy. Bronchitis.
Group, Whooping Cough, influenza, Colds
and Coughs yield to its wonderful power.
This is the original remedy and is
sold and personally recommended in
Yale by Staley q Bricker.

VIEWPOINT

The St. Roses Drum Corps have been inadvertently credited with the dance held at St. Mary's hall on Monday evening last when it ought to have read the Sandy Hook Baseball Associa- tion. The Drum Corps however are planning for very interesting event
 to take place in the Town hall. The affair is under the management of Ed ! ward S. Pitzschler and success is as-
 sured. The members of this organiza- tion are deserving of credit for the manner in which they have struggled against adverse circumstances in keep ing together. They expect to appear this season in shining new uniforms. besides the replacing and repairing of flies, drums, etc. The fascinating old tunes will be heard, better than ever pared.

MANAGER PUNDERFORD INVENTS
 LIGHT DINNER FOR AUTOMOBILE LEs

New Haven,June 5.-John K. Punder- ford, general manager of the Connecti- cut company. recently received patent rights from Washington on an inven- ton of his that not only promises to be valuable to him from a financial point Of view, but extremely useful to every automobilist in this or any other country.
 - In a word the invention is mechan- ical light dinner and is accepted by every expert who has seen it demon Strated a decidedly excellent thing By the very simplest mechanism it aims the powerful head lights of an automobile to an ordinary light and the change from one light to another is made instantaneously.
 The great value of the contrivance is in the safety which it affords to peo- pie approaching in other cars or to people driving horses. The glare o1 the lights which has a binding effect on one can> be immediately dimmed and likewise in the case of a horse showing fear. In New York state there is a law compelling owners of autos to equip their machines so that power full lights may be overcome. The con- trivance in use in that state is moi satisfactory and MT. Punderford's in vention is thoroughly believed to ex. actly meet the requirements. Patents will probably be sought in Canada ano Europe immediately.

CANADA PROPOSES
 TO BUILD NAVY

Montreal June 5.-The Dominion of Canada has finally decided to show her imperial spirit by an offer to build a navy of her own, to act, should the occasion arise, as an auxiliary force to Great Britains fleet.
 Her contribution to the forces Of the empire will consist of eight firSt-class cruisers, ten torpedo-boat deStroyers, and ten torpedo boats The Govern ment is prepared to pay one-fifth of the cost for laying down the whole fleet immediately, the other four-fifths to be guaranteed paid within the next five years.
 All the contracts for building the vessels will be made with British firms, and arrangements have already been made for building several of the tor pedo boats and destroyers with the well known firm of Hawthorn, Leslie & Coote of Newcastle-on-Tyne.

During it's life in the pasture the
seed ticks takes no food and hence
does not increase in size, and unless
it reaches a host it dies of starvation.

however, is very great, and under

THE LIFE HISTORY Of THE CATTLE TICK

An intimate knowledge of the life
history of the cattle tick is necessary
to those who have the pest to contend
with in order that they may wage
their battle more intelligenuy and
at the same time secure better and
greater results A knowledge of the
manner in which the tick pr oagates
can not fail to be of value in the
war of determination now being car
ried on against it in the South.
Only a part of the development Of
the tick takes place on the host (ani-
maD, while the remainder occurs in
the pasture. The female tick, which
is attached to the skin of the host,
increases enormously in size as re-
suit of drawing liberal quantities of
blood and when fully engOrged
drops to the ground. where she at
once begins to search for a suita bic
hiding place that will serve as a pro-
lection from the sun and enemies.
The female ticks may be devoured by
birds, destroyed by ants, or may
perish as the result of unfavOrable
conditions, such as, for example, low
temperature, lack Of moisture, etc,
so that many may be destroyed
without having laid any eggs.
Egg laying begins during the
spring, summer, and tall months IN
2 to 20 days and during the winter
months in 3 to 90 days. The eggs
are smallA elliptical-shaped bodies, of
a light amber color that later changes
to dark brown, one-fiifieth of an inch
in length, coated with a sticky Sc
cretion that causes them to adhere in
clusters and keeps them from drying
out. During egg-laying the tick
gradually shrinks to about Onethird
or one-fourth her former size. The
egg-laying period continues for from
days in the summer to Isl days be-
ginning in the fall, and during this
period from several hundred to 5000
eggs may be deposited. The mother
ticks then dies within few days.
In from - days Gn summer) to 18S
days Tin fall or winter) after the eggs
have been deposited they begin to
hatch. From each one issues a small,
oval, six-legged seed tick, at first
amber cOlored later changing to
rich brown. After crawling slowly
ouiescent for several days; then it
displays great activity. especially if
the weather is warm, and ascends the
nearest bit of vegetation, such as
grass. herbs or shrubs.
Since each female lays her eggs at
one spot, thousands OF newly hatched
ticks or larvee will appear at the
same place and later Will ascend
nearby grass stems and collect on the
nlades. This accounts for the brown

keted one hundred and twenty-five
pigs for which the sum OF S1,3S25o
was received; this giving net proht

were sold alive at an average weight
of 1751s pounds and brought cents
per pound; eighty-five were dressed
and averaging 135 as pounds and were
