FOR A BILIOUS ATTACK

When you have severe headache,
accompanied by a coated tongue,
loathing of food, constipation, torpid
liver, vomiting of partly digested
food and then bile, you may know
that you have a severe bilious attack.
While you may be quite sick there is
much consolation in knowing that re-
lief may be had by taking three of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They are

ANTI-TRESPASSINC Law

In its annual report TO Congress
the Interstate Commerce Commission
presented some unusually interesting
and important recommendations,
among which was a non constructive
and much needed suggestion on the
subject Of railroad trespassing, one
which will meet with the hearty APP
proval of the roads, and of all who
have given thought TO the problems
They urge Congress to pass a Fed
eral statue against trespassing, point
ing out that It is due to no fault of
the railroads that they urge this;
rather to the inaction Of the States
and the local authorities. while the
number OF trespassers killed annually
is steadily increasing, until now it
is over Sc per cent of the fatalities
of all railroad accidents. Despite the
fact that thirteen States have legisla-
ter against trespassing, the commits
sion points out that it is most diff
cult, IL not in some cases impossible
to secure the enforcement of such
laws. the result being that the rail
roads fail to obtain the adequate pro-
lection which The public welfare de-
mands.

FLAW IN CITY HALL TITLE
DATES BACK TO 1895

A peculiar situation in regard to the
title Of the old city hall property was
discovered by William F. Kurtz. attor-
ney, when he began a search Of the
title for John s. Mullin. who recently
purchased the property and an act Of
the Legislature will be required to
clear away the cloud.
The alleged flaw in the title dates
back to 1895. when John Dickinson
transferred the plot upon which the
old city hall stands to the city. The
consideration expressed I'm the deed
was one penny and a stipulation that
II the Kennett turnpike should ever
be cut through to Market street the
plot of ground upon which the old
municipal building stands would re-
vert 70 the original owner.
Mr. Dickinson in 1895 owned a tract
OF land bounded by Shipley. Ninth, Or
ange and Tenth streets. and also was
the owner of a strip OF land. 20 feet
10l5 inches wide, running half way
from Market to King street, between
Fifth and Sixth. The city wished TO
buy this land Mr.. Dickinson was
aware that If ever Kennett Pike should
be cut through TO Market street, then
the tract of land which he owned be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets would
/ be divided into irregular parcels OF
/ ground and would losce a great deal
of its original value.
He agreed to sell the land he owned
on Market street to the city for one
cent, the equivalent OF the modern
zone dollar and other good and val.

actions, with the stipulation mention.
ed that If Kennett Pike should ever be
extended TO Market street. then tho
city would lose the property and il
would revert to the heirs of Mr. Dick
inson.
/ Mr.. Kurtz searched the records care
/ fully and found no saving clause II
any one OF them. Some OF the deeds
are missing, but il is expected there
will be hardly any trouble on this
score. In order to make everything
legal, City Council. at the meeting las
! Thursday. on motion of Councilman
Oscar Draper, passed "a motion grant
ing thirty days 10 Mr.. Mullin. in whicl
