DIES SUDDENLY
FROM APOPLEXY

Washington street. Mr.. Griffenberg.
who was conducting a small store on
Washington street, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth, recently purchased
the ice cream business OF Isaac f.
Belts.
Mr.. Griffenberg moved yesterday to
No. 1910 Washington street, where
the ice cream business is located. and
It is thought that the excitement of
moving brought on an attack of
apOplexy last night. Shortly before
6 o'clock this morning he was
conscious and spoke of getting up. A
few minutes later he died.
Mr.. Griffenberg had been living in
Wilmington about five years. He was
born in Odessa and lived there for
many years He moved to Summit
Bridge some years ago and went into
the Creamery business with former
Levy Courtman Charles II. Salmon
under the name of Griffenberg and
Salmon. Five years ago he moved ta
Wilmington and built a store at Con-
cord avenue and jefferson street. He
conducted this store for some time
and then moved to Washington street

FROM 9TH TO nth
Seems PROBABLE

That the widening of Market street,
between Ninth and Eleventh streets,
is contemplated by the Street and
Sewer Department, was announced at
the meeting of the directors of the
department at their meeting this
morning. A resolution presented by
Mr.. Murphy providing for the widen

trouble as the old Court House is to
be razed.
Considering this fact. the directors
will interview property owners on the
east side of the street between Nintl
and Tenth streets. to see if their plans
are compatible with the wishes Of the
owners in the matter of widening that
portion of Market street The onl1
"cutting' to be done would be on the
front yards of the Historical Society

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkha-n Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?' "Are they truthful O."
Why do women write such letters?
In answer we say that never have we
published q fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham 3 Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements. Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
