A Ten Cent Box lnsures You

Primitive men did not need Cascarets.
They lived outdoors, ate plenty of fruit

modern people are different. We exer-

food Is too fine, too rich.
We can't have the bowels clogged up

retained there decays. The decay Gre
ates poisons. And those poisons are
sucked into the blood through the very
ducts intended to suck in the nutri-
ment. So we must make our choice.
We must live. to an extent. like the
primitive man, else We must eat Cas-
carets.
Cascarets do what the, right food
would do. what plenty of exercise does
The effect is as natural from one as

TRIAL BEGINS IN
SUIT FOR CASH
TAKEN BY THIEF
Eagle Co. Claims Federal Trust
Co. Is Responsible for
Cashing Check.

An echo of the theft of S4,466 in
August, 1910, by Peter Lawson, an
employee OF the Eagle Company, and
his subsequent flight to Canada and
capture there, was heard in the Su-
preme Court, before Judge Charles
Black, today, when the suit of the
Eagle Company against the Federal
Trust Company came up for hearing.
The amount involved in the present
suit is 1900, being the difference be-
tween the amount obtained by lawson
from the trust company, and the
amount later recovered from him and
his wife, with whom he had entrusted
some of the money before fleeing from
Newark.
Lawson for a long time had been in
the habit of going to the bank and
drawing the payroll check for the conf
pany. On Thursday. August 3, 1910, he
presented himself at the window as
usual with a check, the amount being
81, 4s6. The money was handed to him
without question, but instead of going
to the factory he went home, and after
hiding part of the money fled to Mon
treal, Canada. where he was located
ton days later by Detective Sergeant
Frank Tuite, of police headquarters,
who learned his whereabouts through
intercepting a letter sent to Lawson's
wife, who had remained In this city,
Lawson admitted the crime and re-
turned to this city after telling where
all but $1,000 of the stolen money could
be found. He pleaded guilty when ar
raigned, and is now serving a ive-
year term in the Trenton State prison.
1t is claimed by the Eagle company
that an alteration had been made In
the check before it was presented by
Lawson, thus rendering the bank liable.
This is denied by the bank, which
claims that the check WINS In the same

BILLS INCURRED
BY PLAYGROUND
BOARD HELD UP
Question Is, Who's to Pay for
Fence and Baseball
Uniforms?

HAS or has not the Playground Com
mission the right to build a fence and
pay for 1t without the consent of the
Common Council? That Is the aues-
ton that City Counsel Nugent will have
TO answer. Thu question came up when
CITY Auditor Rowe held up several of
the playground bills that seemed to
him too high. One of the bills was for
building a fence around the grounds at
Lafayette street and New Jersey Rail
road avenue, for which the city would
have to pay 500.
The auditor is of the belief that the
commission has to submit the estimate
for a thing of this sort to The Council
before going ahead with the work. DIR.
Froelich, one of the commissioners,
who was asked about this by the audi
tor, said that he thought the commis-
sion had the legal right to make such
expenditures. Then the matter was
taken up to Mr.. Nugent.
Another of the bills being held up is
for $17i.10 for equipping the drum and
fife corps.
Still another is for baseball uniforms.
Some OF the prices paid for these uni
forms are, as follows: Ten for s25. ten
~ pVs tci ioi Hl5. l|0ITty-One scout
suits for sS5.25 II twenty-seven for
SS1. The question raised by Mr.. Rowe
is whether the commission has the
right to buy uniforms or not. He
maintains that his Is not done in
other departments and that he wishes
to be sure the commission has III
right to spend the money before he
passes the bills.
Also Spent s64.JO for Medals.
The commission also spent $64.5 for

rewards in contests.
