Madison Clerk Has Issued
1888 Resident Hunters Licenses
Special to the Evening Star.


MADISON. Dec. Thorough Clerk
Samuel G. Willis has so far this sea-
son issued 1873 resident hunters IL
censes. This is a good-siHed sale for
Madison, although the number of
hunters varies very little from year
to year.
The season this year was probably
ended by Tuesday nights fall of
snow. The season does not close I'M
til December Is, next Tuesday but
local nimrods think that inasmuch
as they cannot hunt while there is
snow on the ground, the season might
as well be closed now
Considerable game has been shot in
this section this season, although
some hunters complained of the scar
city of rabbits. One jackra bhit, the
one and only such animal ever killed
in this section, fell before the gun
of Richard Hanlon. A number of
pheasants have also been killed.
In spite of the alleged scarcity OF
rabbits, an old hunter stated last
night that In his estimation there are
many more rabbits running about
than have been killed this year SO
far. He said he had occasion to pass
through several fields yesterday, and
according to his story he saw enough
rabbit tracks to have been made by
a hundred of the cottonta tails.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 10.-(Special)-
Governor James r. Fielder and the
State Chamber of Commerce took
emergency measures today to bring
protection to the weakened storm
swept coest of New Jersey.
The ravages of the recent storm
that has dashed the Atlantic coast
have been especially disastrous to
New Jersey. There is hardly a shore
municipality, from Cape May to
Sandy Hook, that has not its toll of
destruction as result.
On Wednesday next. at 1890 a. m,
a public hearing will be conducted by
the State chamber in the Assembly
chamber at Trenton. The United
States army district engineers and the
New Jersey Harbor Commission have
been asked to attend and examine ME
evidences presented by the communi-
ties affected.
The protection of the Atlantic beach
front, from Sandy Hook to Cape May.
and the number of towns involved
presents such a problem that the New
Jersey chamber has taken the initia-
tive in seeking State and Federal aid.
1t is realized that a survey must be
made to determine the responsibility
of property holders, municipalities and
counties before the State and Federal
authorities can prepare the necessary
legislation.
The call for the conference includes
municipal officials of all the coast re-
sorts. State senators and assembly
men, and the New Jersey delegation
in Congress. Delegates will be ex-
pected to produce maps showing
storm damage and recommended lions
for protection.

Newton Health officer Says
Physicians Failed to Report

NEWTON. Dec. 1O-Charging the
local physicians with neglect in re-
porting contagious diseases during
the past year, Health Officer Ross
well McPeelS presented his annual
report to the Newton Board Of
Health Tuesday evening. The meet
ing was illuminated with one candle.
the electric light service having been
put out by the ice storm.
The charge of the local doctors
neglect was made when Mr.. McPeek
reported that there had been six
deaths from tuberculosis during the
past year. The inspector told the
board that the only information he
had received of those cases was
through street gossip. None OF the
cases had been reported by the
physicians in charge. The inspector
said that it was the attending physi-
clans duty to report deaths from
that disease. The inspector said that
he had reasons to believe that cases
of other communicable diseases had
not been reported.
The annual report showed that
there had been III cases OF con-
tagious diseases in Newton within
the past year. OF these, 1877 cases
were measles, seventeen chickenpoX,
eleven tuberculosis, five each of diph-
iberia and typhoid fever, and one
each of scarlet fever and whooping
cough. During the year eight fumi-
cations were made siXty-two inspec-
tons and twenty-siS re-inspections.
With the exception of a case Of
chickenpox and a case of typhoid
fever, the town has a clean bill OF
health. The total expenses of the
board last year were S243.47.

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or Nor

'I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every excess
sively thin man or woman. Such a
result Is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims of
mal-nutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy, normal amount of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating
a Sargol tablet with every meal.
Sargol Is a scientific combination of
six of the best strength giving, fat
producing elements known to the
medical profession. Taken with
meals, it mixes with the food and
turns the sugars and starches into
rich. ripe nourishment for the tissues
and blood and its rapid effect is re-
marlsable. Reported gains of from
ten to twenty-five pounds in single
month are by no means infrequent
Yet its action is perfectly natural and
absolutely harmless.
Sargol is sold by good druggists
everywhere and every package con-
tains a guarantee of weight increase
or money back.
Caution-Whiie Sargol has produced
remarkable results in the treatment
If nervous indigestion and general
stomach disorders 1t should not,
owing to its remarkable flesh produce
ing effect, be used by those who are
not willing to increase their weight
ten pounds or more.
