PNEUMONIA AND THE SURVIVAL
OF THE FITTEST,
Phone Douglas 3617

Almost all the reading public know
that colds, coughs, pleurisy and grip
ia grippe) called by the medical pro-
fession influenza can become pneumonia
or tuberculosis even. If neglected or
improperly treated they kill by causing
Inflammation of the lung (pneumonitis,
pneumonia) or pulmonary tuberculosis
might close the scene.
All scientific persons have a profound
respect for the laws of nature and
those laws compel US to believe in the
survival of the fttest. The fittest are
careful not to break the laws. The
fttest know that there is penalty for
breaking the laws. The fittest know
that overeating and underexercising or
overexertion cause colds. They know
that the laws of nature require suffi-
cient oxygen (fresh air) night and day;
and they know that failure to receive
that oxygen also causes cold or a
cough or a pleurisy or some malady
which is an evolutionary product in
the growth from cold to pneumonia.
The fttest leave as little as possible
to chance. They believe in prepared
ness. They prepare to fight the germ
that produces pneumonia before it has
multiplied in the nose, throat or other
portion of the respiratory tract. They
leave the window slightly open even
in zero weather in order to keep the
body supplied with the ammunition
called oxygen which is essential in our
stupendous efforts to acquire the pro-
verbal life cycle of three score and
ten. The fittest leave the window open
at the top and at the bottom, because
they know the laws of nature, not fol

Beverly May Go Dry.

The hotel keepers OF Beverly are not
at all comfortable over the condition of
the city government. Some time ago
Mayor Halle presented his resignation.
The mayor wanted to resign in order
that his successor might be selected in
time to vote on the granting of licenses
some time this month. Former Mayor
Roberts, who is leader OF the license
forces, objected to the acceptance of the
resignation, and his opposition was so
effective that the move was blocked. 1t
evidently was expected that Hahle
would vote for license, as the advocates
of that measure are said 10 have offered
to pay his expenses if he would come
from his new home in Baltimore and
cast his vote on the question. The for
mer mayor, however, is reported to have
sent word that he had presented his
resignation, that Re was out of Office and
did not propose to attend any more
meetings of the Commission, that he
had quit, land that was final"
The resignation will probably be acted
upon tomorrow evening. Mr.. Hahle will
cease to be resident Of New Jersey this
week, so there does not appear to be any
thing to do but accept the resignation.
If this should happen it will leave the
Commission q tie on the question of
granting licenses, which will be equiva-
lent to refusal, and after license has
been rejected it cannot be granted within
a year.
Another phase in the situation is who
is to be the successor to Mayor Halle.
Unless the vacancy is filed by election
before the third Tuesday in this month
an appointment must be made. CONF
missioner Snead is pronounced oppo-
nent to license and former Mayor Rob-
erts is just as strong on the other side, ii
is not likely there will be any appoint
ment made to fill the unexpired term OF
Mayor Halle. This leaves the situation
in a very undesirable condition for
those who are interested in securing
licenses, and the outcome is watched
with great interest.

Future of the Trolley.

Pursuant to agreement representatives
of the Burlington County Transit Com
pany met with the Business Mems As
ISOLATION, Tuesday evening, and discus
sed the future conduct of the trolley
road and listened to and made sugges-
tions along that line. The trolley repre-
sentatives were Alfred Haines, Armitt
H. Coate, Maurice B. Comfort, William
B. Tomlinson and Edwin G. Davis.
The business men thought opposition to
the increase in fares might be with
drawn if the company would make con-
cessions in the timetable. 1t was pro-
posed that two half hour cars be run
each way between Mount Holly and
Burlington, night and morning, but
some Of the trolley people did not take
kindly to this suggestion and insisted
that the increase in fare be agreed to
without objection to the decrease of ser
vice. Messrs. Comfort and Tomlinson
took liberal and sensible view of the
matter, and thought the request OF tn e
business men was not unrea sonable.
After considerable discussion NE Bust
ness Mems Association adopte a resolu-
ton covering their request and it will
be forwarded to the trolley company at
an early date. The representatives of
the transit company stated that it is the
intention to secure new cars as soon as
possible. In the meantime the old cars
will be rebuilt and put in good shape
and will be kept to run between Mount
Holly and Burlington. AS soon as the
roadbed is put in shape to stand the
weight, cars Of the Public Service Cor
poration will run through from Camden
to Mount Holly without change. Passen-
gers to or from Burlington will change
in Mount Holly at a point not yet de-
termined, but probably at the switch at
the upper part of High street.
For the convenience of our subscribers
we publish the time table now in opera
ton. If it is cut out and pasted on a
card it will be found a convenient size
for the pocket.
