his father, Isaac Simonovitch, shoe
maker of Jersey City, confronted the
boy in the Englewood Hospital.
The backbone of young Simonovitcn
disappeared as completely as If he
had left it on the operating table.
First he tried by taking" a state Of
coma to avoid the appealing en-
treaties of his aged parent, to speak

But an explosive breath spoiled
that. SO the youth turned into pre-

mother, who was waiting, and pro-

GENERAL MANAGER FOR
CITY FOUND A SUCCESS
Stanton. Va, Trys New
System in Its Municipal
Government.

STANTON, Va. July 9.-After a
trial that has extended over period
of three years the people of Staun-
ton are almost a unit on the PROPOSE
ton that the Staunton plan of city
government is not only a great sue
cess. but the best plan of municipal
government that has ever been de-
vised
Stanton is a city of 10000 inhab-
itants. Before 1910 its affairs were ad-
ministered by a city council and a
mayor. 1t is forbidden by law to
abolish these institutions, but 1t de-
cided to hire a general manager, an
expert in municipal affairs. to direct
its business. 1t chose S. ID. Holsinger,
a practical engineer.
II Is possible that the character OF
Stauntons general manager has had
much TO do with the success of the
system here. Some notion of Hol-
singer and his methods may be gained
from his axioms on city government.
Here they are:
"City business should be transacted
with the same financial insight as
that required in the conduct of a
private corporation.

Dance and Alexander Horovitz the
Hungarian chemists who have been
treating with their new cancer
remedy Congressman Robert Brem-
ner and Postmaster D. w Mahony,
of this city. have announced that
they have discovered a positive cure
for both tuberculosis and cancer.
These two men, whose efforts to
save Mr.. Mahony and Congressman
Bremner have aroused much interest
in the medical profession, came TO
America two months ago.
81 heard of these men through my
friend Charles A. Bleak, of this city,
and decided to try their treatment,
said Postmaster Mahony yesterday
in St Mary's Hospital. II had re-
ceived no benefit by the treatment
from my physicians. l gained their
consent to allow these men to treat
me, and now l feel 1 am well on the
road to recovery.
Mr.. Mahony's optimistic view was
shared by DR.. r. n. MacGutfie, house
surgeon at st. Mary's Hospital.
'Mr. Mahony's condition was eriti-
cal until two weeks ago, when this
treatment was applied, said DR..
MacGutfie.
Congressman Bremner is also re-
ported as improving.
The chemists claim also to have a
cure for tuberculosis. They say the
secret of the cures is nothing more
than certain herbs which they OBJ
served sick swine eat in the woods in
Hungary.

ments later I learned exactly what
herbs were necessary to cure certain
ailments.

SUNDAY CLOSING
Orange Merchant Rejects PetI
ton Because an Individual
Proposed 1t.

uis Sonncnschein. Main street
'ress man. Of Orange, who has
med to sign Leo Berlow's petition
the closing of stores on Sunday,
three other storekeepers today
MED he was against closing on the
Sabbath, but said the situation called
for action by the proper municipal
: officers and was not to be used by an
individual to exploit himself.
1.-THE representative who called and
asked my signature said Mr., Son
nenschein today told me he came
from Mr. Berlow. and the scheme was
to close Sundays only during July
and August Now. that does not APP
peal to me at all. The proper plan
for Sunday closing would be an ar
rangemont to continue through the
entire year, and | would sign a
petition if il were presented by the
proper officials. Sunday closing is
question for our chief OF police or
other accredited authority not for a
man who keeps his clerks in stores on
either side of Main street at work SO
late on Saturday night they are I'M
able to work on Sunday.
Long after my store is closed
weekday evenings and Saturday
nights Mr. Berlow has his employees
at their tasks, and. of course, he
cannot be in both stores. Hence his
desire TO have the Sunday relief dur
ing the hot weather. Now as for
the Board of Trade. ! was out of the
city when it was formed. and ! GER
tainy favor joining it. and hope 1t
will accomplish good results in keep
Ing the business of the city together.
Mr. Berlow said today he had assur-
ances from bootblacks of a desire to
close at least a part of Sundays
and a barber also signed the Sunday
closing arrangement statement. Tony
Franklin a general storekeeper, in
Henry street, right in the heart OF
the foreign colony, also gave his
approval. Mr.. Berlow will take up
the question with the Boord of Trade
tonight.
