CITY WITHOUT PAWNsHOPs.
Municipal Remedial Loan Office q
Boon to Needy of Paterson, N. j.

w NSSuy oh Patterson,
From the New York Sun.
The city of Paterson, NJ j., with a
population of 125.6OO, has only one
licensed pawnshop, and it is believed
that the permit for that will not be
renewed when 1t expires. This condition
Is not due to lack of applicants for the
privilege of lending money on personal
effects. Mayor Mcbride is constantly
importuned to license pawnbrokers, but
he Is opposed to the business and has
consistently refused to act favorably on
the applications.
Several years ago the board Of trade
OF Paterson organized a remedial loan
company" for the purpose of advancing
money to worthy persons in temporary
need This organization charges the
lowest possible interest on advances. and
its design is to meet the necessities of
those who in another community might
patronize their uncles. In doing this
Mayor Mcbride believes that the rene
dial loan company" provides for the legit-
innate wants of the community. and does
all that a well-reguated pawnshop should
do.

some difficulties with the abstruse point

Exactly" responded Mr.. Mckinney,
and the whole bench Joined Justice Nc

The Secret Of Success
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
 Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why | it is that so many products that are ex- ltensively advertised, all at once drop
 out of sight and are soon forgotten?
 The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer.
 This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy-is recommended by those who have been cured, to those who are in need of it.
 In an interview on the subject prominent local druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Ropt, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recoin- mend, for in almost every case it shows immediate results, as many of my GUS toners testify. No other kidney rem edy that know of has so large a sale"
 The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact that it fulfils every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and Bladder diseases, corrects urinary and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 A free trial bottle will be sent by mail, absolutely free. Address Dr. & Co., Binghamton, N Y, and mention this paper. Sold at drug gists in bottles of two sizes-50c and s10O.

For this plenty of plain, nourishing food should be eaten at regular hours, plenty of out door exercise should be taken and one should spend as much time as possible with the bedroom window open and on a hard mattress. A course of tonics should probably be taken, one to improve the appetite, enrich the blood and give tone to the whole system.

THOROUGHBRED ANIMALS AND
 PLANTS
Their Great Commercial Value

There is as much difference between thoroughbred and ordinary plants as between thoroughbred and ordinary animals" This statement is made by D. M Ferry Co. of Detroit, the greatest flower and vegetable breeders in the country, and appears in their 1911 Annual Catalogue just issued. They argue for the great value and economy of thoroughbred seeds. Any Fundamental natural law which ap- plies to animals applies equally to plants" A good COW C.e., thorough bred) eats no more than a poor one, but may give twice much butter fat. Good blood" makes as much differ ence with corn as with cows. But thoroughbred plants. like thoroughbred animals, are not produced in one or two generations, for no matter how super for an individual of common origin may be, its progeny are as rule like the general run of its antecedents. Hence the need for seedsmen l1ke D. M Ferry & Go. They have experience, the best plant breeding equipment in the United States, and the business acurnen to sell only such seeds as have been bred from the choicest stocks for many genera tiOnS.
 D. M Ferry & Co.'S Seed Annual for 1911 may be had free of charge by writ ing to them at Detroit. Michigan. It contains much of interest for those who think.

The Baltimore authorities this morn
Ing telephoned the local police that the
wife of Albert Vopolsky, a tailor, of

his life yesterday in the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal. about three-quarters of a
mile above the Aqueduct bridge, would
come to Washington today to take
charge OF the body. which is now in the

papers found in his pockets, long
which were two letters from a Balti-
more firm asking him to come to work
for them.
Walking up the towpath Vopolsky
stopped at one Of the canal boats and
borrowed ar old pair of trousers from
the captain. George Whitecloud. He
said he wanted to wear the trousers
while swimming. He then told Captain
Whtccloud that he was worried be-
cause of trouble he had had with
woman in Cilpeper. Va. where he had
been working recently.
Captain Whitecloud and William
French. another canal boat captain,
noticed that the meE seemed to be in

started TO go to his aid. when Vopolsky
yelled at them:
II don't want any help. Leave me
alone. NV life's my own!'
