ALLENTOWN'S NEW

office last Monday. is occupying the at
tonton of "A. l.. Relchenbach, the new
Mayor. who took the chief executive s
chair after % years as City Treasurer.
At the November election the entire old

colleagues, had raised the city ass assment

dignation meeting was held, and, after
some days, the assessment was debated to
$50 900. 900. but is still held to be too high.

sion form of government in third-class

GRIP? HERE'S REAL AMMUNITION
TO FIGHT THE DETESTED ENEMY
Forget the Whisky and Qunine Turn Deaf Ear to the
Ever-Present Advice-Giver and Hearken Ye
to the Genuine Article

THE grip can be released, no matter
i how tight it has you, If you go about
1t the right way,
But the trouble about the average
grip victim is that he takes too much
advice. You can't lick the grip with
adjectives or epigrams.
Then there are some who think they're
practical They nod their head know
ingly and take quinine and whisky.
Finally they get so that they can take
the dose without using the quinine
at all
Most physicians agree that it's bad to
take quinine carelessly and wander out in
the cold And then some doctors advocate
the old-fashioned remedies, such as bath
ing your feet in mustard water after
good hot drink.
We are inclined to believe that most
people have grip sticking to them because
they do not do anything but argue about
It. Some say they don't want to go to
doctors just for the grip They do not
realize that they may eventually have to
go to an undertaken. There are still
others who think that physicians should
wander about dispensing advice for Moth
ing Lawyers don't do this, neither do
architects Therefore, you should pay as
we'll as any one else unless you can get
the advice for nothing.

PORTRAIT OF IMMORTAL"
PROVES TO BE FALSE
Supposed Likeness of William Whip
pie Removed From State House

A portrait which has hung in the main
gallery of independence Hall for the last
90 years and was supposed to be that of
William Whipple, of New Hampshire, one
of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence, was removed yesterday and
probably will not be replaced. Curator
Wilfred Jordan and members OF the nd
visory board feel sure that u mistake has
been made and that the portrait Is not
that of William Whipple, hut of his
brother Joseph, who was not a man of
such eminence.
The mistake was discovered when Mrs.
Fanny Pickering Heffenger, of Ports
mouth. n, H., recently visited Inde-
pendence Hail. and declared that the por-
trait was not that of her great-great-
uncle, William Whipple. She had cop
per-plate etching identical with the por-
trait then hanging in Independence Hall
and stated on good authority that it was
that of her other uncle, Joseph Whlpple
AS far as can be learned. there Is no
portrait of William Whipple In existence.
In Trumbull's famous group of the
"Signers" Whipple's face is thought to
be merely an impression.

AS ANOTHER DIJ PONT
TRIES TO ENTER SUIT
Ernest du Pont, Son of Francis
G., Asks to Be Included as
Complainant Against
Alexis Felix du Pont
CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT

| WILMINGTON, Del, Jan 5.-Ernest
| du Pont of this city, today petltioned the
| United States District Court for permis-
sion to become party plaintiff with
| Philip f. du Pont, Of Merton, Pa, who
Is suing the du Pont Securities Com
pany in an effort to have Il. I. du Pont-
de Nemours & Co. stock valued at more
than s50,000000 turned over to the latter
company.
The petition is the fourth Of It's kind
filed with the court this week The others
who have signified their Geslre to inter-
vene with Philip f, du Pont are Mrs.
Robson Perot, of 5l51 Wissahickon ave-
nue., Philadelphia E. Paul du Pont, Of
MontchanIn, Del, and Archibald NJ. L..
du Pont, of this city.
All of the petitioners are children of
the lac Francis G. du Pont, as Is also
Alexis Felix du Pont, one Of the indi-
vidual defendants in the suit
The Intervention proceedings of Ernest
du Pont excited much comment here to-
day as he Is trustee for the estate of
Francis G. du Pont, which includes many
thousand shares of common and pre-
ferred stock In Il. !. du Pont de Nemours
& Co. and although Ernest du Pont has
stgnified his wish to be made a party to
the suit as an individual stockholder, 1t
is pointed out that he must consider the
interests of the trust identical with his
own.
The other trustees for the estate of
Francis G. du Pont are Francis I. and
Alexis Felix du Pont, brothers of Ernest
du Pont. AS Alexis Felix du Pont is a
defendant in the suit, 1t is certain that
he will do his utmost to prevent the
estate from becoming a party plaintiff
in the proceedings
On the other hand, four of the seven
living beneticiarles of the trust have now
individually begun intervention proceed
ings, and great pressure can be brought
to bear upon the three trustees should
they be unable to agree that 1t is to the
interests OF the estate to become party
to the suit
TRUST INVOLVED.
Should this be the case the beneficiaries
OF the estate are empowered by law to
intervene, not only as individual stock
holders In the h. /. du Pont de Nemours
& Co., but also as beneiciares who be-
lieve the trustees of the Francis G.
du Pont estate have failed to act in the
interests OF their trust in refraning to
become parties to the litigation
francis /. du Pont remains the only
unknown factor among the living MEM
bers of the Francis G. du Pont branch OF
the family. Four have made definite
stand with their cousin, Philip f. du Pont,
the original complainant. They are: Mrs,
Robeson Perot, e. Paul. Ernest and Archi-
bald NJ. l.. du Pont. The opposition Is
represented by the defendant, Alexis Felix
du Pont and Mrs. lrenee du Pont, whose
husband is also an individual defendant.
She was Miss Irene Sophie du Pont un-
til 1900, when she married her second cou-
sin, lrenee du Pont.
Although no steps have been taken
openly to oppose the intervention of the
four petitioners, It is expected that pres
sure may be brought to bear on the In

SLOUGH AIMS TO DRAW

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 5.-To draw the

who make fathers shekels fly, from the

them plow through the sawdust, is the

Next to reaching the sport boys" who
flock to the shore for fling" Slough
would like to reach in some fashion the
teachers In schools and colleges, who
he says. are poisoning the minds of chill
dren and turning them out skeptics, If

girl God Is the heartless thing most OF
these educators picture Him." he. said.
Slough is striking hard at masculine
posers, whom he found "strutting' the
Boardwalk. He has n sharp stick also
for pastors of large and prosperous
churches, who, he believes, have failed to
avail themselves of their opportunity to
carry militant gospel TO visitors from all
over the country
The Illinois man figures that II he can
but reach the people now in the hotels
here. he can spread the germ of evan
gelism in nearly every State from here to
the Pacific Coast.

Gates of "solf pedal policy here, when

bitterly what he termed as n disease
breeding, unsanitary and antiquated

more or less due to this fact.
Samuel b. Conver, member of the

ing system and said it was i'm perfect
working order and sanitary. Since early
fall there has been n continual outbreak
of dlphtherIa at Lansdale. although of
late months the cases have been oc-
casional-an average of about one a
week.
