BILIOUS, HEAOACHY,
SICK 'CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get q Decent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi.
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the IN
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con.
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning, They
work while you sleep-a 1O-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

PRISON LABOR
[continued From Page one.]

heretofore has been given in a large
part to unskilled and inefficient Ia
borers. Last year a saving OF $1,466.59
was effected by prison labor at the
rate of 81 day. The prisoners have
worked total of 1867 days.
More money was spent on the roads
of Wayne county in 1915 than in any
year in the history Of the county. Re-
pairs were made on more roads. The
item of expense for gravel alone
amounted to $3,S45.43. Almost twice
as much gravel was placed on the
roads this year than last.
The average cost of road repair in
Wayne county is S124 per mile. This
is 81 more per mile than was spent
last year but the road superintendent
states in his report that the amount of
work done on the roads and the fact
that at $1,000 fill was constructed dur
ing the year, accounts for the excess
cost. Compared with the cost of town.
ship road upkeep, it costs about the
same amount of money to keep coun-
ty road in repair as it does township
road. There are 312 miles of county
roads in the county.
The following report shows how the
money has been spent by the county
road superintendent:

ARMS SHIP
lcontlnued From Page onel

Meyers, sailed early yesterday from
the Bush dock, South Brooklyn. At
$3.50 o'clock this morning observers
at quarantine saw the vessel coming
back up the narrows, flying signals Of
distress. She anchored two hundred
yards out in the stream and immedi-
ately the signal lamps on her bridge
began flashing out the calls for aid.
The messages read:
Fire in No. hold. Notify Norton,
Lilly and Company, and also Norwe-
gian consul. Give us assistance"
The big fire boat Seth Low put out
from South Brooklyn and sped down
the bay. From the fire boats search
lights it could be seen that the crew
of the Sigma was closing all matches
and flooding the forward compart-
ments of the vessel in which the fire
was burning, with live steam in an
effort to smother the flames. No
smoke or fire could be seen.
The Seth Low drew alongside the
Sigma ready to pour thousands of gal
Ions of water into her hold should the
steam prove unable to master the
fire. Deputy Chief Worth of the ma.
rine division of the fire department
was notified and hurried down the
narrows in his fire auxiliary, the
Velox, to take charge of the fire fight

TEAM SLuMPS
But TRIuMPHS
IN SLOW CAME

While the Richmond high school
team won from Rushville last night at
the Coliseum 51-22 the showing the
boys made was disappointment to
their followers and the question which
was asked pointedly this morning was
Are they overconfident or overturned?
1t was quite clear to the most cas-
ual observer that the team did hot en-.
ter the fray with the old dash and
spirit and Rushville made them look
slow at the start. While they did
liven up the game after five minutes
Of play their followers were disap-
pointed with their work and they will
have to display little more pep.
Porter and Parker both made poor
showing at the start and Pitts was SO
far away from Stoops all the time that
he had things practically his own
way.
Stops Runs Away.
Stops made six field goals four Of
them in the first period and at no time
was he covered.
Richmond could not be awakened to
the seriousness Of the game and de-
spite the showing made by the score
they did not play the game as they
know how and should.
Coach Nohr tried to inject some pep
per into them between halves.
Brown was the only man on the
team that was any way near form and
the victory and size OF the score are
largely due to his efforts. The cap
