Physicians of the United States
public health service have issued a
warning asking the public to take
the utmost precaution to avoid con-
tagion.
Hot, dry weather, the department
says, is extremely favorable to the
spread of the disease.
One Of the principal manifestations
of the disease is the presence OF nose
and mouth secretions. Handker'
chiefs used by patients or those at
tending them, should either be
burned or disinfected.
The service says suspected casei
should be reported Immediately ant
competent medical aid summoned.
Even in cases where deformity re
suits, surgery sometimes can over
come the most serious defects.
Flies are the common carriers Of
the disease.

There were large number of ap-

those appearing yesterday before the
Chief Examiner answered the search
ing questions in a manner which indi-
Gated their intelligence and general
understanding of the affairs of the
United States and its government.
The examiner presents a. very rigid
examination and his searching ques-
tions are battling to those foreigners
who are seeking citizenship. Some
of the answers to the questions are
ludicrous. These people are promptly
turned down or their applications con-
tinued.
Yesterday there were six applica-
tions for naturalization granted. They
were: Emilio Gallelto, Joseph Carrelli,
Lewis Feinberg, Bonato Benz, Theo-

Salem, n. j., June 3.-Frank Scott
has been landed in the county Jail
from Pennsgrove, charged with the
illegal sale of liquor, for the Septem-
ber term of Court Scott's place ON
Broad street near Maple avenue was
raided by Chief of Police Harbeson
and his assistants, Policemen Money
and Norton, and as the result of an
immense trade that he seemed to be
doing in an alleged soft drink estab-
iishment. That soft drinks could
produce so many cases of intoXication
had aroused the suspicion of the Off
GERS for several days.
Thirty three cases of beverages
were confiscated by the officers bear
ing the name of a Camden beer firm,
it IS alleged Each bottle, it is said,
was labeled cherry" or celery, but
when some of the samples were op-
ened in Justice of Peace Elkinton's
Court the stuff was declared to be
beer. A five-gallon jug found on the
place was one-third full of whisky.
Scott declares that what he was offer
ing for sale was all soft stuff"

CAR SHORTAGE

The embargo on freight at certain
points and the continued scarcity Of
freight cars, may develop an alarming
situation in potato shipping season.
1t is more than probable that there
will be car shortage at all shipping
stations in South Jersey in August
and September, the like of which has
never been known. Railroad officials
are in the dark as to what they will
be able to do for potato interests at
that time. 1t is practically certain
that there is trouble ahead.

THE ELKS

The Elks Merry Minstrels, given
under the auspices of Greenwood
Lodge 854 B. P. O. E., and under the
direction of Miss Telleta Roberts, at
the Greenwood Theatre last Friday
night, was an interesting and well
afforded entertainmentzall of the
large number of participants acquit-
ting themselves in a most creditable
manner. Each of the three scenes
Fairy Land" Dream Land" and
Reality" made pretty pictures.
The opening chorus by about eighty
pretty little girls was enjoyable, as
was also the small boys chorus 'I've
Got the Mumps". The songs, the
dances, the music, etc., were all
simply first-class, and the splendid
audience evidenced their appreciation
by frequent and prolonged encores.
Quite a snug sum of money was
realized for the Elks Club from the
receipts of the evening, and every
body went away pleased with the en-
tertainnlent-pronouncing it one of
the very best ever given by our local
talent.
