POLICY TO MAINTAIN <
 HARBOR DEFENSES
Four Perg Cent. of Older Battery Em- placements Advocated to Be
 Replaced Annually

Washington, Dec. S.-A fixed policy in maintenance of harbor defenses un- der which at least four per cent of the older battery emplacements would be replaced annually is advocated in the annual report of the chief of en- gineers of the army. It is pointed out that only ten per cent. of the present harbor defense projects have been built or rebuilt since 1909.
 The report declares that 'it cannot be too emphatically stated that the art of fortifcatiOn is a progressive one.' and points out that the coun- try's coast defense equipment has not kept pace in its deVelopme with the imprOvem in naval armament against which it must been matched.
 While no mention is made of the $S0,000,00O four-year program urged by the administration for improve ment of the coast defenses, the report estimates that $5,369,26O will be needed during the coming year for necessary work on present or project cd coast fOrtifiCatiOns in continental United States, and $232,0OO for those in insular possessions.

1 by them stay cured, which in itself is | skeptical.
 To receive the best benefit from their natural treatment is to try it fairly, honestly and you will then be justified to your own satisfaction that the Natureopathic method as fol- lowed by these doctors is the only safe way in which suffering can be cured without the use of poisonous drugs. Their record of cures ever since they started this course of healing is a. positive guarantee of the correctness of their theory.
 The Natureopathic doctors did not come here to antagonize the regular physicians, but to advance the natural methods which have as the basis the supply of the body with the elements necessary for perfect physical health and growth. The method does not depend upon drugs, which are known by physicians as well as others to be injurious to the system by its after ef- fects The primary objects of the demonstrations was to satisfy the pub lie that Natureopathy has various remarkable results and the sooner the methods incorporated that can prove remarkable results and the sooner the public adopts these modes of treatment the quicker will relief follow the afflicted race. See the To- cal Natureopath, let him explain what this science is. Consultation

SAVAGE WOMEN HEALTHY

The savage lives in the open, eats simple foods, knows nothing of household drudgery or social life, gets plenty of sleep and exercise and is perfectly healthy and strong, but the civilized woman is slave to home duties and society, often becomes run down, nervous and physically unfit to be a companion or wife. Our local druggists. The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, Riker-Hegeman, have a reliable, non- secret remedy that Is a boon to such women, its component parts being peptonate of iron for the blood, the nourishing properties of beef pep tone and the medicinal extractives of fresh, healthy cods' flyers, all dis solved in a delicious native wine. It i:' really wonderful how rapidly weak. rundown women are built up by its use.

 The remarkable success that the Natureophathic doctors are having in
 the healing of obstinate cases of long
 standing has attracted to them a large
 following, many people having been astounded at their work. At Hartford their work during the past twelve years has been so successful as to at
 tract attention from all over New Eng land. The same remarkable success is attributed to all of the Nature opathic treatment throughout the state. The records of teStim onials from cured cases are at the state cap- ital, Hartford. Their methods have in fact revolutionized the healing methods Since they appeared here several months ago the papers have contained columns after columns in regard to their work, while many hum dred people have availed themselves of the opportunity of receiving treat ment at their hands, securing relief in practically every instance besides satisfying themselves of the soundness of the theories advanced by this new school of healing.
 So many people have sought their services and are still seeking them at offices at Hartford. However since The Blumer College of Natureopathy has induced pr. Dunigan, a graduate of their school, to locate permanently in New Britain, local people are we'll pleased. His offices at 162 Main street are daily crowded with patients. The reports are that he is meeting with remarkable success.
 Natureopathy has taken a strong hold on the afflicted public; the peo- pie are ready to recognize the merits of Natureopathy and crowd all offices of Natureopathic physicians through out the state Yet so great is the crowd of new patients constantly com ing to them that they have been com pelled to keep late hours. The Hart ford office is obliged to positively an nounce that it is utterly impossible to make any more engagements for local cases at Hartford all without exceptions, who wish to receive their l treatment must go to their local of- | flee.
 In making this announcement they | wish to extend their thanks for the | very liberal patronage they have re- ceived which has been far beyond | their expectations and to cordially in | vite all wishing to see them to call at ] the Sovereign Building, Rooms 6, 7, 10, II, No. 1892 Main street, New Brit ain, instead of going to Hartford.
 Dr. Blumer of the Natureopathic | College of Hartford stated that those who received their diploma of this in- are perfectly qualified and 1, people are convinced that the hun dreds of cases that have been cured

Court

Not much business on hand Thurs
day. Ernest Watts was granted orders
to sell lands to settle estates. He had
expected to argue the suit of Mrs. Rogan
against the city of Burlington under the
employers liability act. Mrs. Rogan's
husband was a member of the police
force of the city of Burlington and was
killed while on duty. MI. Watts wanted
the counsel of Mrs. Rogan to admit the
facts Of the killing but the latter refused.
Mrs. Rogan was not in condition to at
tend court Thursday and the matter
went off until some future day, depend
ent upon the condition of the complain
ant.
Paul E. Pursch was brought up to
answer to an Indictment charging him
with deserving his wife and child. He
pleaded guilty. The wife was present
and said her husband left her suddenly
one day without q word of explanation
and she had not seen him until he was
recently arrested. She was willing to
have him come back if he would sup
port her and this the man agreed to do
as o as he could get work. His
father was in court, and in answer to a
question by the Judge, the father said:
II told the boy he must go and live
with his wife and take care of her and
the child. | told him that when he got
married it was not a thing to be thrown
aside lightly, but it was for lifetime"
The father is a German, and Judge Lip
pincott told him he had given his son
good advice. The father said he would
try and see that his son did the right
thing. Pursch was put in charge of the
probation officer for three years.

prevent the spread of the disease.
These regulations provide that cattle,

after the completion of the disinfecting
of the premises; that the movement of
animals over the public highways, with
in the closed areas is prohibited, except
those which are shipped for immediate
slaughter and they may be moved; that
the exposed area includes that portion Of
quarantined counties outside q five mile
radius of premises which have beer
quarantined because of the existence o
the foot and mouth disease; that all ap
plications for the movement of animals

narian's certificate.

Ancient Rights To Be Tested.

seven hundred South Jersey oyster
men are parties to suit in the Chancery
Court to set aside a State grant of ripar-
ian rights in lands comprising over four
miles Of bay shores in and about the
mouth of Mullica river in Atlantic
county, to Watson T. Sooy, who is the
present holder of what are considered
among the finest oyster beds along the
Atlantic coast.
The action in Chancery is the culmin-
alton of years of legal fights, fstic en-
counters between the warning factions
and raids on the big beds OF oysters.
The answer sets up a full claim under
the grant made to Sooy by the Riparian
Commissioners In 1903. Following the
grant a fleet of oystermen raided the
beds, claiming a right to natural beds OF
the State. AT ons time feeling ran 50
high that shots were exchanged and
several craft sunk in a bay battle.
Judge William C. French, Of the
Camden District Court, represents the
oystermen, and expects to call fully n
hundred OF his clients to prove the exist
ence of natural oyster beds on the
riparian grants made by the State.
The controversy hinges largely upon
the presence OF natural beds'', as ads
mittedly the State cannot grant to in
waters containing natural beds.
To prove the existence OF natural beds
the oystermen are willing to swear that
they have made their livelihood off the
particular four miles of water granted bv
the State to an Oyster Commissioner.
Feeling among the oysterman is at fever
heat and the coming trial is expected to
prove one of the most interesting in the
court annals of the State.
The lands inquestion, valued for oyster
harvesting at several hundred thousand
dollars, for hundreds of years have
belonged to the general public and each
season hundreds upon hundreds of boats,
OF every description suitable for oystering.
used to rendezvous around prominent
point for the purpose of catching the
natural product, which nature is said to
have bountifully provided. During the
old Colonial times and ever since New
Jersey has been q State, the beds were
public property.
In the early nineties the Legislature
appointed commissioners to mark out
anu replenlsn the natural oyster beds of
the State, and Watson T. Sooy, of the
Sooy Oyster Company, one of the COM
missioners appointed, applied to the
Riparian Commissioners, withoutnotify-
ing, it Is claimed, the oystermen of the
section, of his intentions and procured a
State deed for what the oystermen say
were and are natural BEDS. That
action started a wal that is not yet end
ed. Actions of ejectment were started
and the whole question was carried to
the Court of Errors. and Appeals. This
body split on the question of the right of
a jury to pass on the validity of a State
grant, and it was then that the present
Chancery proceeding was inaugurated.
The men particularly interested in the
case are those hailing from the counties
OF Atlantic, Burlington and Ocean, and
towns of Tuckerton, New Gretna, Port
Republic, Absecon, Leeds Point,
Pleasantville, SOmers Point and Allan
tic CITY.
