TO say whether or not we shall have
a free ferry in 81. Johns The
free ferry bill which was recently

Now what will the people do

the only way TO secure a free ferry

cost the county from ten TO twelve

Sorts.

"A great deal depends upon yourself
and the kind of food you eat" the wise
old doctor said TO a man who came TO
him sick with stomach trouble. and sick
headache once or twice a week, and
who had been taking pills and differ
ent medicines for three or four years.
He was induced 10 stop eating any
sort of fried food or meat for break
fast, and was put on Grape-Nuts and
cream, leaving off all medicines.
In a few days he began 20 get better.
and now he has entirely recovered and
writes that he is in better health than
he has been before in twenty years.

EXIT MRS. DAVIDSON
ALIAS MRS. \. BLOOM
WIFE WHO DESERTED HUSBAND
KNOWS NOW SHE LOVES HIM.
Sister Sends Her Money to Return to
Oakland and She Goes Back to
Effect Reconciliation.

Deciding that she really loved her
Jewish tailor who afterward took her
money and left her pennifess with four
small boys on her hands. Mrs. Anna
Davidson telegraphed to her sister in
Oakland for money to pay the way Of
herself and children to that city. where
she hopes To win the forgiveness Of her
spouse She left yesterday afternoon
and, i'm all probability, Phoenix has
seen the last of her
Since Bloom deserted Mrs. Davidson
at the Adams Annex a week ago last
Wednesday, the woman has been much
in the public eye. Bloom wrote her
from Sentinel. sending $l0 and explain
ing that he had been suffering from a
temporary lapse of memory. Nothing
more was heard from him after that
and finally Mrs. Davidson became con-
WINGED that he had cold bloodedly de-
serted her His desertion was even
more cruel and heartless than her de-
sertion OF her husband. for he took
with him all hat was left of $3.50 she
had drawn from the bank and given
him
Two or three days ago Marshal Moore
received a telegram from the Oakland
chief of police stating that Davidson
was willing to forgive his wife and
take her back. She was not certain
that she wanted to return. but said she
would wait and see If Bloom did not
write her before making any final de-
cision. She had never loved her hus-
band but she did love Bloom.
A later telegram from the Oakland
chief asked Marshal Moore to keep an
eye on Mrs. Davidson and see that she
did not escape with her children. This
telegram stated that Davidson did not
want his wife back but did want his
boys
After that Mrs. Davidson seems To
have experienced a decided change of
heart She went to the Western Union
office and telegraphed her sister in
Oakland for $50 to pay her way home
Evidently the sister did not trust
Mrs Davidson much. Though she sent
the money she had the Oakland chief
to wire Marshal Moore. asking him To
notify the woman that the cash was
at the Western Union, also to have an
officer see that she bought a ticket for
Oakland and boarded the right train
to reach that place. IL looks suspi
ciously as though Mrs. Davidson's sis
ter feared she would not use the money
TO return home.
Il never realized until now that
really loved my husband" said Mrs.
Davidson when she saw the marshal
She went on to say that she would do
her best to effect n reconciliation.
Several witnesses saw Mrs. Davidson
buy a ticket and also saw the eldest
boy. youngster of Z. sticking his head
about two feet out of a ear window as
the train pulled away from the station.
Therefore the police feel that Mrs.
Anna Davidson. alias Mrs Heyman
Bloom, is finally off their hands. Mar
shall Moore is even more relieved to
feel that he has seen the last of those
four kids He says that if he were
Davidson he would rather take back
the woman than the boys. He never
felt safe when they were within half
a mile of him.
