about nine o'clock in the shed adjoin-

had gained much Roadway. The
buildings and fences along the river
wall burned like finder, and efforts were
directed at once to save the adjoining
buildings. A double frame dwelling
adjacent to the sheds was but slightly
damaged, although at one time it was
thought il was doomed. The cause Of
the fire is unknown, but it is thought
that some small boys who were accus-
toned to change their apparel for
swimming purposes either dropped
some matches or lighted cigarette in
the refuse hay that Uttered the floor,
which smoultlered for some time before
breaking out The loss is fully cover

Roberts.

The question as to whether the city
OF Trenton or the city of Lam bertville
shall care for David Roberts, an aged
and destitute man, was before Judge
Gnichtel in Mercer Court Saturday
and he held Lambertville responsible.
Alfred L. Parker, overseer OF the poor
of Trenton brought the action to es-
tablish settlement against Judson
Fields, the overseer OF the poor of
Lambertville. Charles u. Bird rep
resented Trenton and II. l.. Sergeant
appeared for Lambertville.
For more than twenty years Roberts
lived in Lambertville aud in October
OF 1909, he went to Trenton. Some
time ago an application was made TO
the Overseer of the Poor OF Trenton
for relief. He seut Roberts to Lam
bertville and he was Immediately
shipped back.
Under the old law destitute per-
son to be entitled to relief must be
resident OF a city for ten years. Un-
der the law passed at the last session
of the Legislature and which went
into effect July 4, residence of ouly
one year is required.
Judge Gnitchel was asked to deter
nine whose charge Roberts is. -Tren-

through France and Germany He
will be accompanied by his wife, and

father at the Office of the Pennsylvania
Relief, this city, young Wilmot com.
muting between Trenton and his home

pany also.

quest of MIR. Carnegie he gave up his

What a splendid type OF tireless activity is
the sun as the psalmst describes il issuing
like "a bridegroom from his chamber and re-
joicing like a strong man TO run race Ev-
cry man ought to rise in the morning re-
freshed by slumber, and renewed by rest
eager for the struggle of the day. But how
rarely this is so. Most people rise still unre-
freshed, and dresding the strain of the days
labors. The cause Of this is deficient vitality
and behind this lies deficient supply OF pure
rich blood and an inadequate nourishment OF
the body There is nothing that will give
man strength and energy, as will DIR. Pisrce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does this by
increasing the quantity and quality Of the
blood supply. This nourishes the nerves,
feeds the brain, builds mp enfeebled organs
and gives that sense OF strength and power
which makes the strngg Of life joy. The
good feeling" which follows the use of
Golden Medical Discovery" is not due TO
stimulation as it contains no alcohol. The in
gradients are plainly stated on the bottle

bur builds it up INTO a condition of sound nd
