WOMEN AND HEALTH

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good heath is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics n
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health OF ev'
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches
pimples and general air of lassitude'
is in most every case due to constl'
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy Is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. CaldweITs Syrup Pepsin is .
tonic laxative, mild In it's action,
pleasant to the taste and positive In
its effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels SO that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func'
tons without assistance.
Dr.. CaldweIPs Syrup Pepsin Is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
1t, write for a sample to DR.. W. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington st., Month
cello, ILL.,: he will gladly send q trial
bottle without any expense to you

WARNING SIGNS
PROVIDED FOR
Council Will Place Them on
l. v. R. R. Bridges.

AS a means of probably saving life
and property, the Board Of Alder
men adopted plan last night to
place warning signs on the Lehigh
Valley bridges over State street. The
aldermen discussed the placing Of
similar signs near a number of other
corners and turns in the city to warn
drivers, particularly autoists.
Signs bearing Keep to the Right
and go Slow" are to be placed on
both sides of each of the three Le-
high Valley bridges over State street,
according to recommendation follow
ing motion of Alderman Dalton.
He said he thought the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad Company would permit
the placing of such signs on the
bridges. His motion provided that
the committee on streets and sewers
have the signs put up.
Mr.. Dalton said there were other
corners in the city which were sub
jected to heavy traffic, particularly
automobile driving, which he
deemed should have warning signs.
He maintained there should be signs
within a block Of Smith and State
streets to warn strangers of the busy
corner, slippery pavements, etc. No
further action was taken.

plainly sounded by the Middlesex
county Roosevelt leader. He comes

Brock, a personal friend, whose af-

he does not see how the progress
sives can indorse him for the Repub-
lican nomination for state senator
Mr.. Lyon Is of the opinion that the
Bull Moose contingent Of the Repub-
lican party will name q third legis-
lative ticket in Middlesex, as well
as a candidate for congress, to oppose
the Democratic and regular Republi-
can nominees.

the progressives stand for Mr.. Ten

CAUGHT EATING
POISONED MEAT
Adam Karnsce Attempts Su-
icide in His Home at 429
State St. Yesterday.
BELIEVED TO BE INSANE
Police Learn Woman in
Brooklyn Sold Him Food
Full of Copper SuIphate.

Worry over domestic troubles, be-
lieved to have been brought on by
insanity in a mild form, was prob
ably the cause Of Adam Karnsce,
forty-one years old, of 429 State
street, attempting suicide yesterday
afternoon. The man swallowed
three small portions of substance
believed by attending physicians to
have been copper sulphate spread on
dried meat. He had a fourth dose in
his pocket, which Is now in the pos
session of the police. The man was
arrested by Detective Sergeant John
A. HUFF. When arraigned this morn
ing on a charge of attempting sui
eide, he was remanded for further
examination. He will most likely re-
cover from the effects of the poison.
Lost Home on Mortgage.
Recorder Kehoe said he had
known Karnsce for years, when the
man was brought before him this
morning. He related some Of his ex-
periences In civil action against
him. He declared Karnsce had al
ways appeared as though out OF his
mind. He seemed to brood over
something and neglected property he
once owned in Sayre avenue. De-
spite the fact that mortgage and
counsel gave him every opportunity
to save his property and let him live
on it free of charge for about eight
months after foreclosure of the
mortgage, he let 1t slip out OF his
hands. This act, coupled with his al
legged insanity, is believed by the
authorities to have caused his wife
to leave him. He is the father of
about eight children.
Saw Fortune Teller in Elizabeth.
The man was the victim of con-
tinual worry of late and several days
ago went to see a fortune teller in
Elizabeth. He afterwards went to a
woman in Brooklyn, the police
learned, told his troubles and was
sold, it is alleged, four small doses
of poisoned meat for $40, which the
woman is declared to have told him
would surely cause death. His
physical condition SO far overlook
the man yesterday afternoon that he
swallowed three of the pieces Of
meat, believed to have contained
copper sulphate, and became vio-
lently Ill. He then sought priest.
DR.. Edward Hanson gave first
medical attention. Karnsce was TAX
en- as a prisoner to police headquar-
ters and placed in a padded cell,
where he received further medical
attention from DR.. M. s. Meinzer. A
stomach pump was used to good ad-
vantage and his condition was
much improved this morning.
1t is likely that the man will be
examined as to his sanity and if ad-
judged demented will be sent to the
state hospital at Trenton.

tions are such, however, that l do
not see how the Progressive Party
can endorse him. 1t seems to me
probable that they will nominate
another man for the senate. I think
the impression among the Progress
sives is that they will nominate full
Legislative ticket.
"As to the nomination of Ferd
Garretson for mayor, I feel very fa-
vorably inclined to Mr.. Garretson,
but as l said with reference to the
Senatorial situation, that too must
come from the people,
Mr.. Lyon explained to the reporter
that 1t was the sense of the state
convention at Asbury Park, which
named delegates to the Roosevelt
convention at Chicago, to name third
tickets in every county and con-
gressional district in the state. He.
said that no action was taken on
third tickets in the cities. He, per-
sonally, favors the candidacy Of
Acting Mayor Ferd Garretson for
mayor. On the other hand, he has
enough confidence in the strength of
the Bull Moose" party in Middle
sex to predict that the progressive
nominee, whoever 1t may be, will run
higher at the polls on November
than Mr.. Ten Brock. Judge Lyon
believes that the latter will run low
