Housing Conditions in This state

Many State and city officials, includ-
ing senators, assemblymen, mayors and
health officers. as we'll as philanthropic,
charitable and religious workers from
all sections Of New Jersey, have ex-
pressed their intention of meeting in
Passaic on May 81 and 2s, the occasion
being the Third Annual Conference on
Housing in New Jersey, held under the
auspices of the New Jersey Housing
Association and the National Housing
Association in cooperation with the
Passaic Board of Trade.
The convention will bring to Passaic
men and women 0 Irrational reputation,
who will address the conference and
participate in the discussion Of the
pressing problems of community
growth and welfare.
The housing movement is rapidly
assuming a role of tremendous import
ance In this country, although in this
respect England aud Germany have
heretofore led the United States. Tho
former movement OF correction is being
superseded by a movement of con-
structive reform. Communities are
awakening to a realization Of the fact
that all the great local problems, like
those of higher taxes, high death rate,
real estate development, efficiency in
education and employment, and the
many heavy burdens of corrective
institutions, are closely bound up with
the housing conditions Of the people.
The city officials and Board of Trade
OF Passaic feel that the housing prob
lem is one of the most vital questions
affecting the community, and as .
result. they moi only invited the hous-
ing convention to Passaic, but they are
doing their utmost to arouse q greater
interest in the movement, both locally
and throughout the State. To further
this purpose, arrangements have been
made for q thorough housing survey of
Passaic, and this will be com pleted In
time for the report to be presented dur
ing the conferences In May.

the services of q band-master superior
to those formerly employed, when visi-
tors will at once see the progress we
are making, will probably be the means
of inducing many to invest their money
In Wildwood, thus increasing the taxes
of the city.
Respectfully submitted,

stroyed the two and a half story frame
cottage, belonging to the John K.
Adams estate, at $50 west Spencer ave-
u on Tuesday about one o'clock.
Starting in the southwest corner of the
building and driven by a high wind
the fire made a good start, but the two
local companies soon had four streams
of water upon the burning building and
the front portion was saved. Mrs. Man
ME Ellis, who occupies the cottage, was
rendered homeless with her aged mother
and four grandchildren whose ages
range from 8 to s years. 1t was one of
her grandchildren Alberta Dennis aged
six years who raj into the burning
building and cried to the inmates that
the house was afire. Ike Bro wn, who
resides next door, went to their assis-
tance and with the help of neighbors
succeeded in saving a few household
effects. Mrs. Russell, a neighbor, took
the folks In and shared her home with
them and notified Mrs. Ellis's dangh-
ters in Philadelphia, of the fire. Mrs.
Ellis carried no insurance on her house
hold effects. This is the second time
she has been the victim Of fire having
been rendered homeless by the fire of
December 2 ,1910, In the vicinity of the
Ben Baker property at Arctic and
Lincoln avenue. The loss Is estimated
at eight hundred dollars.

Make It Thick, Glossy, Wavy, Luxur. iant and Remove Dandruff-Reai
 Surprise for You.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluff fy, abundant and appears as soft. lus- trous and beautiful as a young girls after "Danderine hair cleanse" Just try this-moisten a cloth with little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair. taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.
 Besides beautifying the hair at once. Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff: cleanses, purifies and invig- orates the scalp, forever stopping itch ing and falling hair.
 But what will please you most will be after a few weeks use when you , will actually see new hair-fine and tdowny at first-yes-but really new nair-growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it, surely get a 20 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store and just try it. Adv.

 A large fifty-cent case of Pape's Dia- pepsin will give you hundred dollars worth of satisfaction.
 It's worth it's weight in gold to men and women who can't get their stom. achs regulated. It belongs in your home-should always be kept handy in case of sick, sour, upset stomach during the day or at night. It's the quickest, surest and most harmless stomach doctor in the world.-Adv.

INDIAN HAD SENSE OF HUMOR
At Least Enough to Get Off Good Joke on the Cross-Examin-
 ing Lawyer.

From Fenimore Cooper and other authorities we have gained the i'm pression that the Indian is a stolid, severe individual, with no sense of the white mans humor, but one red brother showed himself quite a civ lized joker the other day in the Unit ed States court at St Paul. He was a witness in a hotly contested case, and a lawyer was after him in the most approved style to cast discredit on his testimony After apparently frightening the Indian with the awful consequences which would follow the slightest deviation from the truth, the lawyer solemnly said:
 Now, sir, want you to tell me the exact truth, without any shuffling or evasion. want you to look me square in the eye and tell me how you get your living?"
 The Indian looked straight at the lawyer and, with that grave air ia miliar to all acquainted with the red man, simply said: Eat"
 The courtroom roared and the law yer let the witness go.
