CANDY NOT
POISONOUS

The Santa Claus committee of the
Lambertville Merchants Association
went on the warpath yesterday for
Robert c. Thatcher, the local cores
pondent of the Trenton State Gazette
who sent report to his paper that
Marion Snyder, the five-year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Snyder, of IA Delevan street, was
suffering from poison, supposed
to have been received from eating
candy distributed by the committee
a few weeks ago.
Inquiry revealed that the little
girl, who has been very i'll for two
weeks, was not suffering from poison
at all, and that the candy in ques-
ton had nothing whatever to do
with the case, nor had the attending
physician made any such statement.
Mrs. Snyder was surprised at the
story, and said that the candy had
not caused the little girls illness.
Mr.. Thatcher asserted that it was
news" but the members of the
Merchants association committee did
not admit of the necessity of laying
the blame upon candy furnished by
them, when the only result was to
injure the city and reflect not only
upon the Merchants association, but
the company that furnished the
confections.
The candy was procured from the
manufacturers by one of the men,
bers who deals with the concern,
and was especially made, purity be-
ing the requirement rather than
fancy styles, and it was the pureat
and most healthy CONNECTION that
child could eat.
Anyone who attempts to discredit
the fair names of Lambertville, New
Hope, or the Coryell's Ferry Com
munity these days has several or
CARNATIONS and a healthy bunch of
patriotic citizens to reckon with.
