ABoUT MEN,

The oldest tenant in Broad street
from Market to Clinton streets ,as the
subject of a discussion among a group
of business men recently. 1t was found
that the late Charles \. click was the
oldest, closely followed by Oscar Naun-
dorff, with law offices at $50 Broad
street. The latter has been at the same
station for twenty-five years. The Sec
ond tenant In order of { iority Is
Judge Charles F. Herr, who has ren
practising law at 772 Broad street for
twenty years.
The point came up in one of the re-
cent hearings of the Prudential tax
case as to whether the commissioner
of banking and insurance, Vivian NJ.
Lewis, had said in his testimony that
he had based his certification to the
local tax board on the decision Of "the
Supreme Court and Court of Errors
and Appeals"
HE never mentioned Court of Errors
and Appeals said Francis NJ. Child,
for the city.
"Oh, but I tell you he did. Judge"
said r. Y. Lindabury.
But former Judge Child so strenu-
ously denied 1t that Mr.. Lindabury be-
gan to doubt.
Now, see here, Judge" said MIR. Lin
dabury, lit doesn't matter an iota as
far as this case is concerned, but it is
worth while to know whose memory is
failing the faster. Let us have it
looked up"
Commissioner Bindseil went back
over the testimony. Lindabury was
right.

EDWARD MARSHALL HAS NOV
elized 1.-THE Family" a drama, writ
ten by Robert H. Davis. Mr..
Davis is the managing editor
of the, Frank A. Munsey Co.
THE Family is but one of his dra-
matte productions. 1t was successfully
put on in Boston and Chicago, where
1t met with instant favor and had
considerable runs. The novelized YER
sion of any play is apt to lose much
of its original vigor, nd this Is no
exception to the rule. Mr.. Davis, the
playwright, has certain telling methods
about his stagework that 1t % difficult
for any novelist to reproduce. How
ever, the stor. is preserved and kept
intact, and that Is the main point.
1t Is an interesting one, involving a
plain, ordinary American family,
chiefly shiftless, except for the mother,
the heal of the family. The father,
the SON. even the daughter, are all
tainted with American weaknesses.
The son Is a cigarette flend. The
daughter, attracted by glitter and
swagger, runs away with q band
master who comes to town. They rIc-
tend matrimony. The family VISITS
them. The mother sees the situation.
She understands. Her one passion is
to get her daughter back--to keep the
family tnpathnr Che dnaa if nv NiTfna
of the strong grip that a mother in
great crises exerts upon her household.
The story is virile, strong, down 20 the
ground. If anything, it is 100 true to
life, too real Mr.. Davis is also the
author of 1.-THE Welcher,' q one-act
playlet, made familiar to Newarkers by
Macklyn Arbuckle's i-mpersonation Of
a plunger who had made a fortune on
the track.

A theatrical contract, contemplating
a Broadway production, will also pro-
that the managers must give the
play a f1rst-class production, by a first
class company, In a first-class theatre,
In a f1rst-class city. and If they fail to
do so their rights shall terminates; also,
that the manager shall present the play
for a certain number of performances
in each IA and upon their failure in
this respect their rights are terminated;
otherwise, they might hold the authors
property and produce 1t only once or
twice.
Payment of rolayties are made each
week, accompanied by certified office
showing the receipts. Fall
ure to furnish the statements is usually
stated to work a forfeiture of the man
ayers rights.
The contract also provides, as a rule,
how the name of the play and the name
of the author of the novel and the
playwright shall appear on program
and advertisements. This often is a
of considerable pickering. The
fair way to set out a dramatist's novel
is as follows:
THE Gold Nine" by John Doe, a
dramatization of Richard Roe's novel
of the anne name.

Tines Tourists In Denmark, The
Land of Hamlet--And Cooperation

COPENHAGEN, Denmark. March ..
The bacon and eggs OF the Lanu
of Hamlet" are Of more real interest
10 the world than Elsinore castle.
where Hamlet lived. For Denmark Is
the schoolmaster OF the world In the
matter OF bacon and eggs and butter
and the like.
One OF the smallest nations OF the
world, and not long ago one OF the
poorest, Denmark is today leading the
world in certain agricultural matters,
and leading Europe in the matter OF
per capita wealth.
Cooperation is the keynote OF Dan
ish success. Handicapped by poor soil
and an unfavorable climate, the Dan
ish farmers have, by putting their
heads together and pulling together
made Denmark famous the world over
for It's butter, eggs and bacon.
When you buy an egg in Denmark
you fnd IL stamped with the name OIL
the man who owns the hen that laid
it, and with the brand Of the cooper
alive poultry society 10 which the
man belongs. The stamp Is guar
antee that the egg has passed most
rigid inspection. IL has made Danish
eggs the most sought after eggs In
Europe and the highest priced. The
same is true of Danish butter and
bacon. Through cooperative organ
izations and frequent and rigid In
spection OF products, the standard has
been raised till Danish brand on
butter or bacon Is an absolute guar
antee Of purity and excellence.
Thus by doing teamwork--by pool
ing their interests and hiring experts
TO advise them and TO run their
creameries and cooperative slaughter
houses, the Danish farmers have
worked up In less than so years from
near the bottom OF the prosperity col
umn to the very top.
So really keg OF Danish butter Is
OF more vital interest TO the world
than Elsinore castle. and the Danish
dairy maid pictured here than the
ghost OF Hamlet's father. For the
butter represents the product OF the
COW that made Denmark famous-and
the girl represents the Danish people
honest, Industrious. virtuous, demo
cratic-one Of the most admirable
races In the world.
From Denmark The Times globe
trotters will cross into Germany.

February, March and April are the back
ache months, because they are the months OF
colds. chills, grip and pneumonia, with their
congesting and weakening effect upon the
kidneys. Colds, grip and chills strain the
kidneys and start backache, urinary dis
orders and uric acid troubles. You feel lame,
weak and tired and have backache headache,
dizzy feelings, achy muscles and joints
besides too frequent, scanty or painful urinary
passages, sediment in the urine, etc. Nearly
every case of grip leaves the kidneys weak.
And it is good thing to use prevention, tor by
keeping the kidneys well you can avoid colds
and grip. The kidneys filter the blood and
so help TO pass off the waste matters OF cold
congestion. Doan's Kidney Pills are very
useful in the raw months of winter and
spring. They cure backache and urinary
disorders, keep the kidneys well and prevent
other colds from settling on the kidneys
After grip, they act as a fine tonic. Home
testimony proves it. What better evidence
could one ask2 Opposite are statements OF
your own townspeople.
