quite amusing. When nearing Hart

Board of Health, last night, it was de-
cided to comply with the recommended
ton of the State Board that no charge
be made for the issuance of health certifi-
Gates las provided for under the code
applying to infantile paralysis. The
board strongly advises that no certificates
be requested unless absolutely necessary,
as the efficiency of the regulations will
be destroyed if the children are not kept
at home as much as possible. Certifi-
Gates will be issued by DR.. E. d.
Prickitt, president, or DR.. R. III. Parsons,
health inspector.
One of the inconsistencies of the at
tempted quarantining Of children is the
fact that policemen are stationed at the
opera house doors to prevent the admis-
sion of those under is years of age, but
the lister are allowed to congregate at
various places in town without being
molested Every evening from ten to

Saturday evening, at nearly twelve
O'Clock, four children, the oldest not
over ten years of age, were seen sitting
at the post Office and they said they
were not going home until their mother

Mount Holly Haddonfield, Merchant
vile, Moorestown and Palmyra respond
ed to call for aid sent out from Marlton
yesterday afternoon, when the slaughter
house barns and wagon sheds occupied
by the Fowler brothers, at that place,
we're found to be on fire. Situated in the
centre of the town and in close proxim-
ity to dwelling houses and other build
ings caused the fire to assume a serious
aspect for awhile. All the buildings of
the Fowler brothers were destroyed, but
the visiting firemen did much toward
preventing the spread of the flames. 1t
is thought the fire caught in some man
ner in lot of chaff from threshing
machine that had just completed days
work. All of the hay and straw
was destroyed but there was not any live
stock on the premises. The loss was not
stated but there was insurance of 800
on the property. Lack of water and in
ability to operate the chemical engine
handicapped and delayed early action of
the Marlton firemen.
