nothing, unless tuberculosis is found
in their herds. In that event the cows
affected will be condemned and the
owner will have to stand the loss.
Cows in 227 herds will come under
the test and eighty-five of the herds
are in or near towns neighboring To-
peka. The remainder are in and
about Topeka. Among the herds to be
tested are ten at NortonvilIe, fifty-siX
at Meriden, fourteen at Elmont, two
at Pauline and three at Tecumseh.
City officials have heard no more
about the opposition to the tests that
was reported from southwest of the
city. DR.. Byerly who will make the
tests says no further particulars have
been reported to him. Herd owners
have called him for information about
the tests and when the matter was eN-
planned there seemed to be no objec-
ton. But whether or not there is OPP
position the tests will be made or milk
from INFESTED cows will not be sold in

says nothing about the wagon but the
itemized list of injuries suffered by
the auto indicates that the latter came
out second best. The total cost for
repairs to the auto came to $97.75-
The owner was not injured and his
only claim is for the time during which
he was deprived of the use of the car
six days. He figu ed the car worth
ten dollars a day to him and put in an
additional claim of sixty dollars on
that score.
The claim was referred to George B.
Hayden, city attorney. From remarks
made by him at the time the filing was
done it was gathered that he would at
tempt to learn from authoritative
sources the proper place for a wagon
before approving or disappearing the
claim.

BUSINESS WAS GOOD
City License Collector Took in So
664.77 in January.

The collections for the city license
department during the month of jan
uary amounted to $3,S64.77-a bigger
return on the investment than is
shown by any other city department.
C. T. Mattingly, city license collec-
tor, is a constitutional license collec-
tor" according to George Hayden,
city attorney.
Naturally January is one of the big
months of the year in the license de-
partment. Many licenses expire the
first day of the new year. Mattingly
has to know the reason when a man
or concern having a license last year
has not taken out one this year. He
follows them up on street car and on
foot and usually brings back the

Why &c EnuriC'' IS an
IN S UR A nee
Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
xperience-such as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send 6 sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than ithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure.
NAnuric" is a regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for rAnuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

Memorial Services.

! Memory OF DR.. Elias Boudinot, its
first president, was honored Friday af
ternoon by the American Bible Society,
which closed the national celebration
of its centennial with services at his
grave in Old st. Mary's Graveyard.
Burlington. Officers OF the society.
Bishop Matthews, of New>Jersey, and
prominent clergymen, educators and
lawyers from this and adjacent states
attended the interesting services.
DR.. Boudinot, an eminent Presby-
terrain, was one Of the men instrument
tai in forming the American Bible
Society. When organization was COM
pleted in 1916 he was chosen as it's first

al Congress. Filling the latter office at
the close of the Revolution, he signed |
the treaty of peace with Great Britain,
and the chair in which he sat at the
time is preserved as an historical relic |
at the Bible Society's headquarters.
When the new Nation established it's
national tribunal of justice, he was the
first lawyer admitted to practice at the
bar of the Supreme Court of the United
States. He later became chief justice
Of the Supreme Court.
DIR. Boudinot made Burlington his
place of residence during the latter part
Of his life and his mansion was for
years a landmark. The city has named
one OF its schools in his memory, an
honor shared with James Fenimore
Cooper, Captain James Lawrence,
Stephen Grelette and other native sons
Or residents of national fame in the
sarly days OF the Republic.
The chief speakers at the unique SER
vices were: Rev. DR.. Henry A. Slim
ION, pastor of the Manhattan Congre-
gational Church, of New York City,
Ind member of the Boudinot family;
he Rev. DR.. Franklin f. Hoskins, of

Kills Wife

Thomas Davis, colored, Killed his
wife, Victoria, at their tenant home on
the Isaac Pearson farm, on the Elbow
Lane road, near Moo restown, Friday,
morning, shortly after 7 o'clock.
Davis is 38. years old and his wife was
S5. There are two children. Davis,
who is in the county Jail, made clear
confession of the crime.
The murder was due to domestic
troubles A few days ago Mrs. Davis
decided that she could no longer toler-
ate the unhappy life she was leading,
and told her husband she was going to
leave him. After that he was in bad
humor, and Thursday night, when he
went home, he knocked down the door
instead of waiting until it was opened
| for him.
Mrs. Davis got up early Friday
morning and began preparations for
moving her goods away. Shortly after
7 o'clock she had Edward R. Jenkins,
a neighbor, help her catch the
chickens and was holding the chicken
house door while Jenkins was inside
Without warning, DAVIS ran up and
struck her terrible blow with an az
that cracked her skull. She fell deaC
at his feet.
As soon as he could get out, Jenkin;
ran for help, and while he was running
he saw Davis strike his wife's body
twice more over the head. Jenkin
soon had help and Chief of Polio
Broadwater, of Moorestown was mott
fed.
In the meantime, Davis had gone Il
, the house, removed his blood-stainet
clothes, concealed them in closet, pu
on good clothes and started to walk to
ward Moorestown. Chief Broadwate
caught him along the road. Davis Of
! fered no resistance, but told the chic
he was on his way to Moorestown t
. surrender. Broadwater says Davis ha
labout $91 in his pocket and appears
l prepared to escape. He told the office
/ that he loved his wife, and when sh
decided to leave him against hi
| wishes he wanted to make sure tina
no one else would get her.

Parent-Teachers' Association.


The very small audience that assem-
bled in the High school auditorium,
Thursday evening, was not very en-
ccuraging to those who are interested
in getting the cooperation of parents
with the school authorities, and did
not present very pleasing outlook to
the speaker who had been asked to
address the meeting. Notwithstand-
ing Mount Holly has Board of Edu-
cation consisting Of nine members, not
one of them was out to show any in
terest in the meeting, and of the Sc
teachers in the employ of the board
not more than one third of the number
attended. n
Miss Myrtle E. Smth, president OF
the association, introduced Professor
George c. Baker, supervising principal
of the Moorestown High school, as the
speaker of the evening. While many
persons would have been disconnected
at the very small audience, Professor
Baker went right ahead with his ad
dress as if the auditorium was crowded
His remarks were especially directed tc
the relationship between parents anc
teachers He spoke of what the schools
had a right to expect from those who
send children to be educated, and he
also referred to what the latter had q
right to expect from the schools. Pro
fessor Baker said he was aware of The
fact that he was not talking to the
class of people whom he particularly
wanted to get interested, but he be
lieved that his words would give
thoughts to his hearers that woulC
cause them to increase their endeavorl
to get the parents closer in touch with
the teachers and school authorities
He gave many forcible instances which
had come within his own experience
tending to show how many of tn
problems now confronting educator
can be solved to the advantage of all
He spoke considerably over an hou
and every minute of the time was en-
. joyed by those who were privileged t
listen to him.
At the close of Professor Bakers r,
marks, Miss Suydam, of Elizabeth
was introduced. This lady represent
] the anti-tuberculosis society, and sh
! gave a short talk on the subject i
= which she is deeply interested. Sh
will probably be heard here again. St
certainly has the matter at heart an
- her discourse showed great earnestne
in her work.
The musical portion of the program
u was piano solo rendered by Mrs. lr
Z. ing S. Warner, which was so beau
u fully rendered as to call for an enco
I which was graciously responded to.
