Sciatica Gives
 Fair Warning
Start Taking Rheuma at Once and Prevent Rheumatism
 from Becoming Chronic

Sharp, darting pains from the hips down the legs to the knee are signals of approach of sciatica, and should be treated at once to prevent rheuma- tism becoming chronic.
 Rheuma dislodges the little uric acid crystals in the blood vessels feeding the great sciatic nerve and creates a free movement of the muscles and joints. It stimulates the kidneys, liver, bowels and skin to extra work in throwing off the irritating poisons throughout the system.
 Read the testimony of Guy Torley, the great cyclist of 265 Dayton Ave-, St. Paul, Minn.: T was so crippled with sciatic rheumatism in my hips that I could not walk without crutches. spent over $500 without relief. Was persuaded to try Rheuma, and after taking three bottles the rheumatism had entirely left me"
 Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma. It is good for all forms of rheumatism, and costs so little you cannot afford to suffer for want of it.

 The third hearing on the bill to sep arate the town of Norwich will be held next Tuesday.
 Under the conditions that existed, and considering the powerful opposing lobby, the suffragettes ought to be satisfied with the vote cast in their favor in the house on Wednesday. The ladies, however, say they are diskat- isfed but not discouraged. and will try, try again.

 The present legislature is making a record for restoring forfeited rights and suspending the rules.

 It is planned to have all matters now in committee reported to the house or senate before the end of next week. To that end some of the inn portant committees are holding daily executive sessions.

Monsters of the Deep.

M0n6teFS or the Deep.
 That there are terrible monsters in the deep there can be no doubt. One of these is the whale. It was only in 1908 that whale devastated the fish traps off Port Towsend, Wash, be, cause the fishermen had captured one of it's young. A whaler recently put in port in Liverpool with the arm oi an octopus 38 feet long. The arm had been taken from the mouth of a whale he had killed and had stuck in the huge animals throat. The octopus is doubtless a more fearful animal than the sea serpent.

wearing his fine broad grin after his
great outhelder has succeeded in the
bunt. Cobb has peculiar way of
drawing up his lips at the moment he
hunts, but not so the pitcher or the
fielders of the opposing clubs see the
action in time to offset his play.
There is little doubt that Cobb is the
greatest of baseball players. He may
even be the greatest player the game

William w. Stilwell, so years of age, a
prominent business man of Lakewood,
shot himself in the right temple on
Monday morning, October %, in an

in an unconscious condition for ten
hours. Domestic troubles are said to
have worried Stilwell lately.

City crossed their votes in the recent
suffrage election. Smith votes in Jer-
sey City and was at his summer home
in Waretown. He travelled the ninety
miles there and the ninety back in. order
to cast his vote for the suffrage cause
Camburn votes in Waretown, but was
in Jersey City, and he travelled 1870
miles to vote against suffrage. The
strange part of it was that Camburn
travelled so far to vote against suffrage
in Ocean county, where the majority
was for Suffrage while Smith went just
as far to vote in Hudson county, where
the suffrage amendment was badly de-
feated

Traffic Regulations.

Following the action of placing warn
ing signs at the corners of streets that
automobile drivers might know how to
turn corners, the township committee
proposes to continue it's work and see
that the speed limit is respected and
that other traffic laws are enforced. On
Friday policeman Myers apprehended
George H. Patterson, of Bradley Beach,
because he not only would not heed the
warming to keep to the right, but he was
intoxicated. Complaint was made be-
fore Recorder Herbert and the man was
sent to the county Jail for thirty days.
He will be reported to the State depart
ment with the view of having his license
revoked Beginning next Monday the
policemen of Mount Holly will give at
tention to all traffic laws, particularly
those compelling drivers of vehicles &c
carry lamps. 1t will be we'll for such
persons to study the law on this subject
The mere carrying of lantern that may
| be seen in one direction only will moi
do. 1t must be light that may be seer
for certain distance in all directions
Then there are other things that will
be given attention. The law limiting
the speed of automobiles and othe
vehicles will be enforced. Trolley car
will be compelled to observe the Law
respecting running. Signs will be posted
showing that vehicles shall not stol
within a certain distance from corner
and horses must not be hitched to pole
carrying wires. The entrance to fir
houses and the distance from fire hydrant
J must be observed SO that firemen ma
not be hampered in their efforts to &c
| to work. All of these things are to b
: given attention and notice is publishe
: thus far in advance that ignorance car
not be put in as defence.

Thursday, from 10 a. m. to 9p. m.
There are 121 Sunday schools in the as

the interesting features of the conven-
ton were addresses by Rev. I. J. j.

Political Notes.

THE News will not reach all of its
readers before the time arrives to close
the polls, but to those who do get it we
say vote the Republican ticket from top
to bottom, because the candidates are
good men. When the returns come in
this evening let it be shown that you
have done your full duty.
The Democrats toured the county Sat
urday in automobiles with band, and
when Mount Holly was reached there
was very fair audience awaiting the
speakers. One of the funny incidents
connected with the affair was that John
Warren Davis, brother of the Demo-
cratic candidate for state senator, seemed
to think that Senator White was again
running, for he paid the latter glowing
tribute, referring to him in the highest
terms, and left his brother to speak for
himself. and when it was James Mercer S
turn to speak he was almost speechless.
To get the vote out is the most inn
portant item today. Do not stop with
your own vote, but see that you get
another ballot in the box. Over-con-
| fidence causes mischief sometimes, and
while Republican success seems to be in
view, it will take earnest effort on the
part of everybody to secure that success
Get every vote out, and do not put it of
until the last thing in the day.
