Good Roads Near Ringoes.

AS sample of what the split log
drag will do for dirt roads it is
only necessary to travel over those
in this vicinity the past few days.
The Neshanic Creek road, running
from J. B. Higgins place to the
Amwell Church, was only sticky
over the top, the supervisor, Samuel
L. Kitchin, having used a split log
drag on it faithfully last summer
and again this spring. 1t was dry
within few hours after the rain
ceased. The road leading from the
Neshanic Creek road to the Ringoes-
Sergeantsville road was dragged by
Fred. Rynearson, recently, and was
in good condition after the rain.
The other roads were muddy, full
of holes, and in generally wretch
ed condition after Sundays rain.

Iodine is Flesh Forming

This has been proven by New
Jersey druggist who in IL years ex-
perience has has many calls for salves
for cuts, burns and sores. He has
seen many things used but none with
such success as the following. 3 years
ago he had a Burlington farmer call
with pile prescription. A month later
the farmer returned, said it cured him
and that he also tried it for cows score
teats, CALLED horse with success. The
druggist looked up the prescription
and found it contained iodine in form
that would build up new tissue without
the caustic acton of of the crude drug
on the old hearty tissue. He mixed
the ointment for hundreds Of customers
and it is so good he thinks the public
should be benefited so has had it patent
ed under the name of Healo and placed
out on sale at all drug and country
storees.

which includes such names as Wilton

er who shared its remarkable run OF

more recently in Philadelphia and

The first stable salary ever received
by Weber q Fields was paid them by
Gustave Walter, manager Of the Or
pheum Theatre. San Francisco. when
they were about eighteen years Did, ana
thereby hangs the proverbial narrative.
Walter agreed TO pay them s275 a
week for four weeks, with railroad fares
from New York TO California, but with
no return fare. When they arrived in
San Francisco after the long transc0a-
tinental trip they had exactly % cents
between them. They went to a hotel
first and had some difficulty in per
suading the clerk to give them a room
without payment in advance. Their
only trunk in those uays contained their
stage and street clothes, and was al
ways sent 10 the theatre.
Hungry and tired they went to the
theatre and introduced themselves to
Walter. who was n German. and who
personally disliked seeing Germans carl
catured on the stage.
"NIr. Walter" said Fields, 1--WE want
TO bet a little money in advance from
You. We need it badly
you won't get a five cent nickle
from he" he said, "until 1 see what
you can do. You've got to make me
laugh before I'll advance you a penny"
Inquiring as TO their position on the
program, they discovered that there
were twenty-five acts and that they
were in twenty position.
I'VE can't make you or anyone else
laugh unless you put Ms in better po.
sition than that, said Fields. They'll
all be walking out by the time we come
on. If you don't agree to put lus on
tenth. eleventh or twelfth we won't

Which was some daring stand to take
three thousand miles away from home
in place where they had not a single

"Then you won't work" said Walter
testify. "Get ont of here, and don't ex

The favor with which the pubic
viewed the additions encouraged them
to the extent that "The Pirates OF

given. In each and every cast not
only was the managerial Judgment
upheld. but the public answered with
such great patronage as TO completely
overshadow the success made when
they were originally produced little
