Mr.. De Moose, of Fort Lee, pur-
chased beautiful new Velie six last
week. He says that it runs like a
top and Skins over the road like a
greyhound.
Mr.. Searls is erecting a fine new
two family house on Hoyt avenue,
which he expects to have completed
sometime in March. He will live in

his new Jeffrey touring car this week
in garage fire at that place. The
car was insured.
On Tuesday evening friends of
VIM. J. Mahoney planned a surprise
party for him and carried out their
program with effective results. 1t
seems that for the past six weeks
Mr.. Mahoney has been more or less
isolated from neighborly intercourse
by the fact that his little daughter
Marie, has been confined with scarlet
fever. On the evening mentioned a
number of his friends congregated at
nearby house and from there to
Mr.. Mahoney's. They had with them
every conceivable implement for thor
oughly fumigating and disinfecting a
house. No sooner had Mr.. Mahoney
opened the door than they brushed by
him and began the task of germ chas-
ing. So much chinese punk was lit
in the excitement and fun of the mo-
ment that it took sometime to rid
the house of smoke. Light refresh

before the guests retired. Those
present were: Mr.. and Mrs. J. D.

Skiing In Palisade
New Kind Of Sport,
Now Growing In FAVOR

The sport of skiing pronounced
skeeing) while not entirely new for
this section is comparatively unknown
in general way. Several winters ago
DR.. Charles P. Berkey brought out
several pairs of skis to Palisade,
and every winter he and few
friends, with his son Paul, have taken
occasional tries on the hills nearby.
Last Saturday afternoon, Lincoln's
birthday, Paul Berkey had his full
complement of skis ready, and in
viting Charles Logan, Glen Hacker,
Alcide Pinard, Martin Lyon and Glen
vile Kingsley, the party sought a
small hill to the north of the play
grounds in the woods, where they had
an hours sport. They then sought
longer hills and went over to Morse
mere and Ridgefeld where the rest
of the day was passed in gliding down
a hill about 600 feet long. Charles
Logan had never tried a ski before,
but he soon caught the hang of the
thing and managed to get along very
well. Glen Hacker had used skis be-
fore and got along we'll. Martin
Lyon was far the best among the
younger boys. The party came home
at sunset with reports of a most ex-
hilerating afternoon.

Tom Cat Up A Tree
Keeps Family Up Late,
Falls Over Ladder

The big gray-and-white tom cat
owned by the Ebell family took it
unto himself last Friday night to
climb a big oak tree just west of the
house. 1t saw something, and so up
it went some thirty feet or more.
Now, the climbing instinct of almost
all cats is to claw up any large tree,
but they call halt when it comes to
getting down. Many times in the big
cities the public has been regaled
with stories about policemen and
firemen working hours and even days
at time to rescue cats that have
climbed trees, they couldn't climb
down again. Palisade has even fur
nished many instances of this kind of
a cat story. Once up there, they NEW
and catcall, and cry until they attract
attention, and a crowd then begins to
stand around and watch kitty in her
predicament. The more effort is
made to get cats to come down, once
they get into a tree, the harder they
stick to their perch.
The Ebell cat was one of this kind,
and it was not until Saturday noon,
after raising loud rumpus that kept
some of the family up all night, that
efforts were made to get Tommy to
come down. Mr. F. H. st. John gave
the loan of his forty foot extension
ladder, and with the assistance of
some of their neighbors, the Ebell
boys got the ladder some distance
above the cats perch in the fork of a
big limb.
"Come down, kittie," some one cal
led. Still nothing doing. Then one
of the boys started up the ladder, and
Tommie saw the manoeuvre. He wasn't
to be caught mapping. When the
climber got fair start up the ladder
the cat took flying start down by
jumping to the right little bough be-
low it's perch. The bough was too
weak, so over tumbled the cat to
another branch about the same size.
The cat was once more too heavy, and
gravity asserted itself, till Tommie
had four straight tumbles, graphing
in the most desperate manner to save
himself, and finding that fate was
against his honest efforts, down he
came kerplunk on the ground with a
thud that could have been heard in
side the quarter mile limit, had it
been at night with no noise around.
Then one of the little Ebell boys,
Master Winter, undertook to sympa-
thize with Tommie cat, and immedia-
tely he was sorry, for a great big
claw was slashed at his upper lip till
the blood spurted, and Winter was at
once turned to summer. It was too
warm for Winter there. Tommie
went scampering away under the
house after his victory, and the boy
says it was done so quickly he didn't
know about it. That's the way of a
cat.

Freeholders Talk
Of Purchasing
More County Autos

It was learned last Thursday morn
ing that the Board of Freeholders,
who were in committee Wednesday,
discussed the question Of the pur-
chase of several automobiles for the
use of county officials.
The fact that several private ma
chimes were used by former county
officials is well known, and these ma
chimes were maintained by the coun-
ty-at least, so it was said.
These officials, having been sue
ceeded by appointees of the new
Board, naturally leaves the county
short of cars with which to prop
erly conduct the government of the
county.
Just how many automobiles it is
proposed to purchase is not known,
but it may be safe to say that two
cars will be required to replace the
ones owned by former County En-
gineer Ralph D. Earle and Road Su-
penvisor j. Ernest Thier.

Rough Basketball
Causes Rutherford
High To Disband

AS measure of discipline because
of the action of the Rutherford High
School players in the game with
Hackensack High School at Ruther-
ford last week, J. A. Van Alta, prin-
cipal and coach of the Rutherford
school, has disbanded the boys bas-
ketball team and ordered the re-
mainder of their games in the North
ern New Jersey Interscholastic
League forfeited to the respective
teams.
This action is as result of the
league game last Tuesday, when John
Whitehill, the Rutherford center
was banished from the game, after
the whole team had collected about
E. Fred Moeller, the referee, and
shouted so much at him that seven
fouls were called in row on the
Rutherford team.

Leonia Councilmen
Choose New Inspector

The appointment of building in
spector and two building commission
ers constituted lively topic of bust
ness at the Leonia Council meeting
on Monday night. There were three
applicants for the job of building in
spector: M. Park, a former foreman
Of Contractor Richards and now SUI
perintendent for the Leonia Heights
Land Co., Mr.. West an architect and
manager of a we'll known New York
firm of architects and Mr.. Blowers,
who is connected with Mr.. Edgar
Bogert as contractor.
At the previous meeting Mayor
Wood appointed all three as inspect
ors despite the fact that the borough
ordinance provides for the appoint
ment of but one. The previous adj
ministration had been generally cri-
ticized for appointing Contractor
Richards building inspector, because
he is said to be one of the most active
builders in Leonia, and it seemed i'm
proper to have him pass upon the
plans of his competitors, and that it
also put him in false position
whenever he attempted to force them
to obey the requirements of the law
Mayor Wood rescinded his previous
appointments on Monday and gave
the position to Mr.. Parks. Mr.. West
was offered a place on the commits
sion, but declined, stating he would
have nothing to do with a commits.
sion lose inspector was connected
with the land company, and that he
considered the appointment much
worse than that of Mr.. Richards.
West based his application on the
grounds that he possessed the tech
nical training necessary to pass upon
all branches of contraction, and that
he could perform his duties without
prejudice.

cry street, Persey City, where they
were arrested last Sunday evening
by Patrolmah lyman, of the City
Hall station, says the Observer.
The. lads said they were bound for
Drockport, ILL., This town, they had
been told, lay in the heart of great
forest country and in valley among
lofty mountains where wild beasts
lived. They hoped to reach brock
port and from there to travel into
the woods and build themselves hut
where, thereafter, they would live as
hermits and eat the flesh of the game
they would shoot.
Their determination to carry out
these plans was strong. They intended
stealing a ride aboard some west
bound freight train. Failing in this
they expected to walk. Under the
latter necessity they would arrive at
their destination some time during
the summer. This prospect encour-
aged them, since it would be easier
to become acquainted with the wilds
surrounding their new home during
the warm weather.
At the station house the boys were
searched. Each possessed six one
dollar bills and a number of pennies.
jeremiah had an empty revolver care
fully concealed by a handkerchief and
tucked in a hip pocket. They were
well dressed and evidently of good
families. The Saugatuck police were
notified and relatives of the lads are
expected to call for them in Jersey
City soon.
They are now at the Seventh street
station house.

At present the work is along theo-

troops over large maps; later prac-
tical work is to be done in the field.
Boys who have played" the map
game" are enthusiastic over it. They
claim it is more interesting than check

how to be logical and how to act
promptly. Lieutenant Steever is also

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
AND dull misery in the kidney region
It generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When YOU kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like o
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
On get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
lines during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physt
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four unces of Jad Salts;
lake q tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.

acid of grapes ana lemon juice, COM
