WEEK OPENS QUIET
|. ON MORRIS AVENUE
Vegetable and Fruit Supply
Continues ShOrt-Prices
Steady

With no changes In the prices the
week opened quietly with the Morris
avenue wholesalers. The supply on all
kinds of vegetables and fruits remains
quite short and only that the demand
is light prevents the prices on produce
from advancing. There is practically
no oranges on Morris avenue owing to
the fact that the dealers cannot buy at
any price. Fish and meats remain
quiet with small supply. Yesterdays

ing some temporary relief from the use of powerful medicines, but they was confined to her bed when she commenced taking Varnesis, her ankle joints being so badly swollen and painful that she could not bear her cured her of all her ailments. Mrs. RoundsVille lived at B Williams ave- nue at the time she was sick. George E. Morse, of 6 5 Highland avenue, and Mrs. Walter Hall, who resided near her, at the time, testify to the truth of this remarkable cure in a case of stubborn which ever came to the mo- tice of the medical profession.
 Harry H. Chandler
 of 22 Strawberry avenue, a shoe cutter by trade. was afflicted with rI1euma- tisn eight years ago, which started in his chest, and became so bad that he could not turn over in bed. For two years he suffered much, and in the Fall of 1904 it went down into his hip sso that he could barely crawl along. In 1907 he suffered an attack in his right hand. both legs and feet, and Tor 18 # months he was unable to do ahy work and was confined to the house, getting about only through the use of a cane and crutch. Theree Lynn physicians did their best, but their efforts were of no avail. Today MT. Chandler stands up to a cutter S bench all day long, a living testimon- ial to the wonders of this remarkable
  Whittier street when he was sick, and the neighbors in that vicinity know all of the details of the case. Mrs. H. A Pratt, 13 Whittier street, and Mrs. Chas. J. B1ethen at Whittier street know these facts to be true.
 Mrs. Sophronia B. Smith,
 of 188 Euclid avenue, wife of the we'll known carpenter of this city, William H. Smith, now in her 72d year. suf- fered with rheumatism since she was 3 years of age. Each year she grew worse and finally was unable to bend her knees and could not open or shut her hands. At times she was con- fined to her bed and unable to turn or lift her head from the pillow with 'out being assisted. She had the same chalky substance in the joints which mark the difficult cases, and had giv- en up all hope of ever being well. Mrs. Smith is kept busy a great deal of the time answering letters which are sent to her asking about the rem edy. Mrs. Smith resided in West Lynn for many years, at the foot of Vine street, and there are many peo- pie who can testify to the marvellous cure accomplished in her case.

MT. Murphy says varnesis certainly worked wonders for her. Mrs. Thomas Lovett family, and who knows the de- tails of the child's sufferinGs, corro- borates these statements, and Mrs. Robert J. Phaup, of 16 Cook street, adds her testimony to the facts.
 Washington Kings Case.
 Going to the other extreme, which shows that Varnesis Is adapted to all ages Washington King. of 67 Chat living on what some people might call borrowed time, for he was in a serious condition three years ago. He was afflicted with rheumatism so severe that he was unable to undress himself, had to be lifted bodily from his chair to bed, and was unable to carried in a sling, the joints of both hands were fearfully swollen, and it was impossible for him to get a pair of shoes on his feet. MT. King, who Is now 76 years of age, is in the en- joyment of excellent health, and this man who had to be lifted from chair to bed, was down in the center of the city, walking around, when the Item man called.
 MT. King resided on Estes street when he was afflicted, and Mrs. Mary A. Sheehan, of 325 Essex street, knew him well, and said that the state ments as to his condition were not overdrawn in the least. Her daugh- ter, Miss Elizabeth J. Sheehan, also testifies to the truth of the remarka- ble cure.
 Cyrenius Goodwin, a carpenter, re- siding at 23 Grove street, and very we'll known in the city. especially in the western section, says that if anybody doubts the efficacy of Var nesis to cure rheumatism, to send them to him, and he will tell them a few things. It absolutely cured him of scfatic rheumatism, which afflict- ed him so badly that he was obliged to stand up when not in bed. The only comfort he could secure was when lying flat on his back in bed. He was obliged to stand up while travelling on the street cars,. and walked with difficulty along the street, his limbs were in such a con- dition. The pain was so intense that at times he would be overcome on the street, and had to be assisted to his home. MT. Goodwin looks the picture of health today, and for four ing physicians were consulted by him and tried to cure him, but failed to give him any benefit. One doctor re- fused to take his case, saying that it would be useless, for there was no relief for him. Scores of West Lynn people knew MT. Goodwin when he was crippled, and know this to be a wonderful cure. Joseph R. Reando, of 28 Grove street. and Mary R. An his of 31 Grove street, stand as spon- sors for him.
 Fifteen years is a long time to suf- fer with the excruciating pains of rheumatism, and ie Is small wonder that Mrs. w. B. Roundsvt1e, or 64 Jefferson street. Is enthusiastic in nraiss of varnests, for today she is in the enjoyment of health and hap piness. Shoulders, hands, knees and feet were all badly afflicted, and she grew rapidly worse all the ttme' gain

CHICKEN (BARNYARD PROG ECY) THAT LED A CHARMED LIFE AS FAR AS ALEXANDER WAS CONCERNED.

Aexander Howell, we'll known in au- tonobfle circles. and an accomplshed vocalist, may be all that and more, but when it comes to marksmanship well, it's better to draw the broad mantle of charity over his shortcon- ings.
 MT. Howell IS endowed with a. nature as kindly and gentle as 1t is reasonabl to expect in an automobile salesman Recently he. became an agent of the Humane society. Some of his business rivals said 1t was because he had run down so many fowl/as he swept through the country in his Cadillac he wanted an excuse to legitimately dispatch them from their pain. But that is neither here nor there.
 Yesterday afternoon Howell was among the spectators at the blaze in Housatontc avenue. Two horses were burned. Tn the height of the excite mente a chicken came forth, badly singed, from the seat of the fire. How ell espied the fowls plight. Thoughts of duty uppermost. he snatched his pistol from its holster and nerving himself for the deed, fired.

 'eYou call that a good thing?" she says in a kind of wonder. And after a minute she signs. Perhaps" she says, "you are right. Heaven only knows. Perhaps it was better that he died.''

 And I hearn his chair scrape back like he had rig to his feet sudden. I nearly busted my neck trying fur to see him, but couldn't.
 "Yes,'' she says, with her eyes wide, ''didn't you know he died ?' And then she turns quick toward Colonel Tom. "Didn't you tell him''- she begins. But the doctor cuts in.
