A FEW SHORT WEEKS.

MT. J. S. BartelI, Edwardsville, H., writes: "A few months ago my kid neys became congested. I had severe backache and pain across the kid neys and hips. Foley Kidney Pills promptly cured my backache and corrected the action of my kidneys
 This was brought about after my using them for only a few short weeks and I can cheerfully recom- mend them" F. B. Brill and Curtis Pharmacy. *135

An" airship," suspended by strings
in one of John A. Anthony's show
windows has been attracting much at
tention of late. The +" airship' makes
sudden plunges to the bottom Of the
window and the cause of these drops
has caused much speculation to the
uninitiated.
Two gentlemen watched the device
recently and one declared to the other
that an electric motor must be the
motive power A watch was used,
however, and the sudden drops of the
airship" were seen to be made with
no regularity so that the motor theory
was abandoned.
A visit to the store satisfied their
curiosity and also convinced them of
the ingenuity of the proprietor. 1t
was found that the ends of the strings
suspending the "airship" were fast
ened to the store door and when ever
any one entered or left the store, open
ing and closing the door, down went
the g airship' and then back TO its
normal position.

lam G. Meslar, on his place at No G
Kenmuir avenue, was damaged by fire
late Wednesday afternoon. The roof
was burned off, entailing a loss OF
about $780, The building was unin-
Sured.

man was off duty and was asleep in
his room. There was nothing in the
barn but bale of hay but adjoining
it was large chicken coop built from
lumber from the old police headquart-
ers building. The chickens were lib.
Grated but the fire was extinguished
before it damaged the coop.
The policeman permitted his chill
dren to play in the barn but has no
idea how the fire started. The fire
department had long run but expert
enced no difficulty in quelling the
blaze.

BASE BALL PLANS.
Parksides and Morristown B. B. {
VIII Both Have Teams.

Parksides and Morristown b. B. C.
VIII Both Have Teams.
Manager James J. Lyons is plan
ming to put another strong team in
the field this year to represent the
Parkside a. C. With the loss of Og.
den Collins, who has gone west, it will
be necessary to secure new catcher,
Frederick Spear will be given try
out behind the bat and as he has had
lot of experience as back stop and
captain Of the Nazareth, Pa, prepara-
tory school he should cinch the jot
for the season.
George Lacey will do the bulk of The
box work with Robert Barrett on first
Second base will probably be covered
by fast local player who is not new
to the Parksides. Robert Hillock
and Bnstern Stnrgis will both play
with the Field club this year.
Captain Louis West will of course
cover short field. At third Manager
Lyons hopes to place local player
new to the Parksides but a very fast
man with lots of experience. If this
does not go through "Tim" Rogers
of Wharton, will be signed and "Tim'
will probably play third with the
taam on Sundays anyway.
In the outfield Frank Millen, Will
liam Lyons and Harry Eick and may
be one or two others will disport.
The Morristown B. B. c.. is plan
ming to put in the field practically the
same team as represented the club OF
the diamond last year. The ground:
on Speedwell avenue will again bt
used.
! Manager Doyle is uncertain just
who will do the back-stop work. Wag
ner was behind the bat last year anc
he may be again this season il Thomas
Dempsey does not do the catching
1t is unlikely that the club will have
the services of Miller at first base
"Budn Hinchman will be at second
Pop" Allerton at short and Mike
Doyle at third.
In the outfeld will be McDevitt
Kennedy and possibly Lippincott, and
James Maloney.
Bill" Holton will probably do the
bulk of the pitching. Manager Doyle
will tryout two or three local players
and is planning to sign another player
from the Orange Valley team.

FIRE ALARM REPAIRED.
Large section of Circuit Out of Order
Saturday.

Large section of Circuit Ont of Order
saturday.
Town Electrician Frank e. Pierson
with linemen of the Morris & Somer-
set Electric company, spent almost all
of Sunday in making repairs to the
towns fire alarm system, a large sec
tion Of which was put out of business
by Tuesdays storm. ln the second
and third wards large part of the
! line is strung on poles of the electric
light company and the trees through
which the wires are strung in some
places had worn the insulation from
the fire alarm and electric light
wires. The limbs being wet caused a
short circuit putting the system in
these two wards out of commission.
The trouble was discovered Satur-
day but nothing could be done during
night so Chief Engineer ]. Fred Run
yon arranged for the ringing of the
boxes in this section from the master
box in police headquarters, the alarm
being telephoned TO the police from
the affected zone.
The boxes out of commission were
Nos. %, Western avenue and Miller
street; 26, Washington and Mills
streets; 27, Early and Harrison
streets; 2s, Speedwell avenue and
Early street, "a, Water street and
Cole avenue; 45, Water and Linden
streets; GA, Sussex avenue and Henry
street IA, Ridgedale and Albeit ave-
nues S3, Speedwell avenue and Cutler
street.
A greater part of the system i'll other
parts of the town is under ground.
Mr.. PierSon cut out the affected parts
Saturday night, fearing THAI the 2,30o
volts current OF the electric company,
with which the fire alarm wires were
crossed, might burn out the under
ground cables. While testing the sys
tenn at police headquarters with a re
ceiver Mr.. Pierson had the instrument
burned out while he had it to his ear,
with unpleasant feelings to him but
with no serious injury.

MUSIC AS A MEDICINE.
Lecturer Says That Cells of the Body
Tend to vibrate' in Harmony.

Lecturer Says That Cells of the Body
Tend to vibrate' in Harmony.
On Saturday afternoon at the resi-
dence of Mrs. j. s.. w. Thompson, un-
der the direction of Mrs. G. A. r. De.
more, Mrs. Carrie Gilman Edwards
gave one of her artistic and instrnc
tive lecture recitals before thorough
ly appreciatiye audience. Mrs. Ed
wards subject was - Music as Med
icine." The speaker stated that the
purpose in using medicine was either
to stimulate or sedate the cells of the
body. According to scientists, all ener
gy is a rate of vibration. Music is q
series OF vibrations varying according
to the pitch and rythm. The cells OF
the body tend to vibrate in harmony
with the vibrations of the music.
Lively music is rapid vibrations
Lively music so increases the. activity
of the cells that the body is flooded
with energy. Slow, quiet music
soothes the body.
Mrs. Edwards illustrated her lecture
with chart record, made under the
supervision of skilled physician,
showing the different degrees in respi
ration and pulse produced by compost
tions of different character. In some
cases there was a difference of twenty
degrees between two consecutive selec-
tions. Mrs. Edwards rendered choice
program of classical compositions in
such masterful manner as to call
forth convincing evidences of the ac-
ceptability Of her work. The Stimu-
lating and quleting effect of music
was made apparent in the constantly
changing moods of the audience, thus
confirming some of the statements
made by the speaker. This is Mrs.
Edwards second appearance in Nor
ristown, she having lectured here last
season on q Life Forces in Music. Ii
the reception accorded her Saturday
afternoon is any criterion, Mrs. Ed
wards will be heard here again.
Mrs. Edwards met the ladies in the
social hour which followed the recital.
Among those present were Mrs.
Humphreys and Miss Humphreys,
Mrs. Grinnell Willis, Miss Armstrong,
Mrs. Frank Marsh, Mrs. Henry NJ.
Smith, Miss Cara Foster, Miss Evans,
Mrs. r. A. Grannis, jr., the Misses
White, Mrs, Manning Merchant and
Miss Merchant, Mrs. Corielle, and
many others.
