Remedy Used BY A
Three Generations
Mothers Who Took It When
Children NoqU Ching It
TO Their Children.

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test of two
generations of users.
In the fed of medicine none has
had greater success, nor retained that
success to a greater degree, than DR..
CaldwelFs Syrup Peps.n, which is
now being used by three generations
of people. Its use in families Is con-
stantly becoming more general The
reason, primarily, is that 1t has
merit. It is what 1t representa- itself
to be, a laxative tonic; 1t does not
make exaggerated claims nor use
coarse language to set forth its viz
tues.
1t Is a medicine. but so mild and
gentle a medicine that thousands of
mothers give it TO tiny isfants, and
yet, In a slightly larger dose, 1t is
equally effectiye for grown-ups. 1t Is
for any disorder of the stomach, liver
or bowels, for constipation no matter
how chronic, for dyspepsia no matter
how severe, for biliousness, sour
stomach, gas on the stomach, head
aches, drowsiness after eating and
similar comp ANTS arising from a
clogged-up condition OF the bowels.
1t is pleasant to the taste and does
not grippe. It can be used with safety
and good results by anyone at any
age or in any condition of health,
and that persons health will improve.
Every druggist sells it and the price
is only fifty cents and one dollar a
bottle.

vincing effect on some of the police
men. Today the prosecutor viii con-
tinue before Chief Magistrate McAdoo

serve warrants on the wiretappers.
Little by little Mr.. Whitman's in
vestigators are getting complete de-
tails of the "Clairyoyants' Trust,
which is said to have enjoyed the
protection of the police at SO much
percentage of the profits, rather than
for stipulated monthly sum. "Af'
Cohen, a former city detective who
has told his story to flre Grand Jury,
is credited with having organized the
"Clairvoyant Trust The members
not only received immunity from ar
rest, MIR. Whitman has been told, but
the police saw to 1t that rivals were
put out of business
Some OF the VIII e-tappers say til y

how they did it and Chief Magistrate

I'm not getting any price because

the answer.
"Hens on a striker" asked the
court.
II think they've been sick ever

answered the witness.
Mr.. Elsum said his property COW
cred space of $4,000 square feet, OF
which 300 square feet was devoted TO
chickens, which he kept principally
in order that his son who is taking
course in poultry culture, might
experiment. Board of Health inspec-
tors testified the chicken coop and
surroundings. from sanitary stand
point, were nearly perfect.
Lawyer j. c. Carr, representing
Mr.. Elsum. pleaded not guilty to the
charge and held that as his client
had not been given sufficient notifica-
ton OF complaints against him re-
garding the number of chickens and
the trial following, the board of health
had no right to revoke the permit.
Judge Hahn ordered that counsels
for Mr.. Elsum and the board OF
health submit briefs in the matter
before next Thursday.

pie Shop, formerly located at 7o4
Broad street, and for a time puzzled
Bankruptcy Referee Edwin G. Adams.
This is the strangest situation I've

searching for authority on which to
base a decision.
The question at issue was the cleo
lion of a trustee for the bankrupts

is now acting rs receiver. Nathan

and also the receiver asked for an
adjournment of the matter to give
MIN more time to prepare his claims.
Maurice L. Shame, of New orh
city. representing sixteen creditors
objected to the adjournment and IN
sisted on an immediate election. Ref-
5sree Adams upheld his objection. At
sorney Bilder then asked for me TO
review the claims submitted by Attor-
aey Shame. This vas granted and IN
zlhe meantime the New York lawyer
cooked over Mr.. Bilder's bills.
Attorney Shaine's examination OF
Bfider's claims was so acute that ne
found defects in every one of the en-

AUTO HOODOO TO
CARNEG|E'S FRIEND
Alexander King, of East Orange,
Meets With Second Mishap
in Few Months.a

Alexander King was struck by an
automobile in Park avenue, East Or
ange, nearly opposite his home, last
night and sustained a broken leg.
Mr.. Kings right arm was broken last
August in New York, when he was
run down by an automobile. His
condition is not serious.
Mr.. King is an aged man and was
until recently vice president of the
American Thread Company. He is a
friend of Andrew Carnegie. He was
crossing the street when an automo-
BILE owned and driven by Harry L.
Robinson, president Of the East Or
ange Coal and Ice Company, who was
riding with his wife, came along. Mr..
King stepped into the path of the car,
which was being driven slowly.
Mr.. Robinson called sharply to Mr..
King and quickly stopped his car. but
not before wheel of the vehicle went
over the aged man, who had been
knocked down. Screams OF Mrs. Rob-
inson brought neighhors and Rounds
man John Macdonald and they car
ried Mr.. King into his home and sent
for the family physician, DR.. George
c. Beckett. of East orange.
Mr.. Kings condition while serious,
owing to the fact that he is nearing
seventy years of age, is not consid-
cred critical He sustained a frac-
tured arm In similar accident last
August in New York city, when he
was run down by an automobile, and
had only recently recovered the use
of the member. AS last night's acct
dent was considered unavoidable Mr.
Robinson was not detained. and after
giving what assistance he could he
continued home with his wife.
The accident occurred in one of the
darkest spots along the dimly lighted
county road.
Mr. Kings friendship for the Laird
of Skibo was chiefly responsible for
Mr.. Carnegies generosity in provid-
ing East Orange with the free
braries there, and the famous phil
anthropist was a frequent visitor al
Mr.. Kings residence.
While he has practically retired
from his business activities, Mr.. King
has gone almost daily to Manhattan
and attended to his manifold inter-
ests. His wife is prominent in club
affairs and she and her daughter are
socially active in the Oranges.
