IA AZ ANY ruptured people live in
IE constant dread of the time
40 when an operation may be
the only thing that a save them.
But please learn that Science mas
come to your rescue and made OPP
erations, with their dangers, entire
" -unnecessar (save in strangu-
lated hernia, which, of course. is the
result of letting the rupture go TOO
long).
There is now a simple, safe, mex
nensiye way to cure rupture at
home-without the loss of any time
from your regular work or business.
This simple home cure is the
Cluthe Truss.
Now, we know that you who have
tried other trusses will say that
no truss can cure.
But you see the Cluthe is far
more than a truss. 1t is SO vastly
difYerent from all other trusses and
appliances that we hold eighteen
natents on it. Yet 1t is the sim
nIest truss ever made.
In the first place, it is the only
truss which positively prevents pro-
trusion. We guarantee to keep
YOUR rupture constantly in place as
long as you have need to wear 1T.
You see this truss is self-adjust-
ing-self-regulating When you
strainor makeany sudden or violent
movement, the support this truss
gives is automatically increased
that is how at all times it prevents
all danger of ~protrusion. And
note that this truss has nc belt, no
leg-straps. no springs-yet it can't
shift or slip out Of position-it is
held in place by suction-and is as
comfortable as your clothing.
Moreovdr, in addition to constant
and ~comfqftable holding, the Cluthe
Truss ovefcomes the weakened con-

Still at chinatowr.

Matters were bad enough in the recent
riotous acts in the Chinese laundry shops
without having more sensational publica-
lions made, but they were sent out never
theless, and served to keep Mount Holly
In the public eye even though in not
desirable manner.
The latest story to see the light was
one to the effect that a letter had been
received In Mount Holly from a young
woman who claimed to have been detained
In the uptown laundry against her will
and that she was there on the night Of the
first raid, escaping by the back way. In
the letter the writer claims that another
girl was cut to pieces by the Cinnamon
who formerly occupied the place and that
the body was burned In stove.
This letter was addressed to Mount
Holly lady who lives near the place and
she handed 1t to Sheriff Worrell But, of
course, it was impossible to keep the
matter secret and the contents of the
letter were public property before the
Sheriff got the document. The Sheriff at
once took measurers to investigate the
story and about all that he could discover
was that a letter had been received, that
1t was not signed by any one and that the
writer, although residing In Philadelphia,
would not give the name or number of the
street on which she lived, but said sit was
a little street running of of Eighth street.
The whole thing was such palpable
hoax that 1t was given little attention after
the first reading and the efforts of the
Sheriff to discover the identity Of the
writer

Delanco, played a great game in the field,
getting six outs and one assist. The score
was II to 10 In favor of Delanco.
Feaster has not been putting up gilt-edge
umpiring In the past two games. His de
cision declaring Smith safe at third was
rank. Logan had put the runner out fair
ly when the latter turned and deliberately
knocked the ball from the baseman's
hands. There was also grave question
whether the quick delivery of pitched
ball that was used by Hubs was legal
The rules require pitcher to take a
position facing the batsman with both feet
fairly on the ground and that he shall not
raise either foot until In the act of deliver
ing the ball, nor take more than one step
in such delivery. Hubs violated these
rules more than once. There were other
little items that were open to criticism.
The decisions did not make any change In
the score, nor did they defeat Mount Holly,
but they showed that Feaster wants to
wake up some.

Saving the Life of Poles.

Restore B. Lamb. of Mount Holly, hav-
ing obtained a contract with the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company for applying
his patent pole protector to three hun dred
poles, has commenced work en- poles 10
Gated on the main line near Lancaster, Pa.
His mode of operation is to first dig around
the pole about sixteen inches deep and cut
away decayed parts which may appear
and let the pole remain in this condition
ten days or two weeks, so that the part to
be treated may become thoroughly dried
before the patent treatment is applied and
Just previous to this, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is applying with
brush heavy dressing of clear SCOT, the
same material 1t is now applying to
new ties. Mr.. Lambs treatment follows
with first securing spacing rods to the
pole, half inch square two feet long and
four inches apart Around these spacing
rods is secured casing of three ply
rubber roofing. Into the vacant space
thus formed Is poured boiling hot asphalt,
which will permeate every crevice of the
pole and this previous danger spot now
becomes the best preserved part of the
pole, and should last twenty years, there
by saving many millions of dollars.
AS asphalt is inflammable Gaping of
concrete is placed around the top of the
asphalt, thus securing perfect safety from
forest or grass fires.
The entire cost to an average sized
pole is estimated at one dollar. The part
protected is sixteen inches below the sur
face and eight inches above.

said the court In expressing Its opinion
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1910-07-26
Had Two Af6nities.

Because D. Clinton L. Bullock of Mount
Holly deserted his wife and family for
the alleged reason that he had become In
fatuated with another woman, and after
desertion declared: "a twenty-horse team
wouldn't draw me home" Chancellor
Pitney has signed final decree granting
Mrs. M. Ella Bullock, the wife. divorce
According to the evidence In the case
filed in the Court of Chancery, Bullock
had two aff1nities. Mrs. Bullock testified
before Special Master Eckard P. Budd
that she found In her husbands pocket q
letter from woman In Beverly which
revealed his relations with this affinity.
Mrs Bullock took her 6-year-old son and
went to see the other woman. She told
her she was Bullock's wife and that was
his boy. The affinity professed great
surprise, claiming that Bullock had said
he was single.
Following this there was a reconcilia-
ton, but 1t was not long before affinity
No. 2 appeared on the scene. Bullock,
who from the fact that he held so many
jobs, was evidently giving more attention
to aftinities than to business, had then be-
come q railroad brakeman. One day his
wife was cleaning his uniform when she
found a letter in his pocket, This was
5ASuCu u1dLuC anu was lIOm OIdmcI
Hill, N. j. 1t begged him to come and
see her soon, and then "Mame" said: II
read your letter four times and have car
ried it near my heart ever since l got 1t. !"
The day Bullock left home he got angry
because his wife would not advance him
money to pay the rent of bicycle shop.
She had already loaned him $50 to aid him
in opening the shop. When he did not
get the further loan he left and never re.
turned, except to get his clothes
Mrs. Bullock testified that her husband
never properly supported his family,
though he made from $50 to $40 month.
In order to support the family the wife
had to keep boarders. After the desertion
she sent him Christmas presents, but he
never acknowledged them.
Special Master Budd reported to the
court that the desertion had been proven,
and that 1t was evidently caused by the
infatuation of Bullock for other women
extending over long term of years.
