WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills of Manning People.

AS one weak link wcakens a chaias|
so may weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final
breaking down.
Overwork, Strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen
orally when their activity is lcssencd,
the whole body suffers.
Aches and> pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing tendency
towards dropsy, gravel or fatal
Brights disease. When the kidneys
fail there is no real help for the suf1
ferer except kidney help. S
Doans Kidney Pills act directly d.
the kidneys.
No need to take the statement of
someone living far away as evidence.
Here is case right in this locality.

were in bad shape. l had pains in
II back and loins and could hardly
walk at times. 1 was sore and lame
and had rheumatic twinges in my
shoulders. My head ached and l had
spells of dizziness. The kidney SCI
cretions passed irregularly, some
times being too frequent and then
again scanty. My knees and ankles
became swollen. I doctorcd and tried
different medicines with no results
until I finally used Doan's Kidney

WOMAN FAlNTS WHEN SHE
LEARNS MOTHER is LIVING

After believing that her mother had
been dead for two years. Mrs. Gertrude
Chase, of San Francisco, a cousin of
James A. Gilkey, of P~leasantville, re-
ceiyed information this week through
the police that her parent, Mrs. Fran
ces Loeser, is still alive and living in
Philadelphia with her sister, Mrs.
James Gilkey, Sr. Mrs. Chase started
East Immediately.
Several years ago Mrs. Chase marri-
ed and moved to California. Two
years ago a woman was found dead in
a strip of woods in Fox Chase, and
was identified as Mrs. Loeser and bur-
led under that name. Word was sent
to the absent daughter that her mother
was dead. 1t now develops that the
dead woman was not Mrs. Loeser, but
that she has been living all this time
with her sister. Mrs. Loeser sent
word to the San Francisco police, who
located Mrs. Chase, and she tainted
when the information was impaired
to her.

cABLEMEN OVERCOME
BY GAS FUMES.

Russell Steelman, Alfred Johnson
and Ralph Crowder, of Atlantic City,
cablemen employed by the Bell Tele-
phone Co., came to Pleasantville on the
last trolley Tuesday night in order to
start from here early in the morning
in Newt. Cramer's automobile in quest
of deer. They set an alarm clock and
also saw Chief of Police Krewson and
asked him to call them about 4 o'clock
in the morning, stating hat they were
going to sleep in the garage owned by
the company to the real of H. w. Hell
frich's store. AS the night wore on
the temperature of the atmosphere
grew colder, and in order to keep
warm they decided to start the engine
of the automobile, which was stored
there. And then they proceeded to
sleep. About 4, Mr.. Cramer called
them on the phone. One answered,
and then the door to the garage was
opened, and the air caused the poison
Gus fumes from the gas to get in its
work. Chief Krewson came along at
this time, and observing their plight
medical aid was secured. Had he been
a little later it is likely that they
would have met their death, as they
were completely overcome.

LINWOOD FARMERS
SUPPLIES ORGANIZED
Object to AmeIiorate Hardships of the
Farmers and Regulate Prices of Pro-
duce and Feed Supplies.

On Nov. 18th, 1916, there was orga-
n1zed in Bargaintown school house the
Linwood Farmers Supplies, and it
would seem from the legal notice ap-
pearing elsewhere in this paper, that
this company merits a word of COM
mendation in passing.
Organized to ameliorate as much as
possible the hardships caused the far
mers and others of this vicinity, by
advancing prices of feeds and supplies,
1t was started as a profit saving con-
Germ. Being incorporated for $50, 900,
1t has now fifty-two holders of certifi-
Gates representing from one to twenty
shares each. By thus distributing the
shares among a large number of peo-
pie there has been caused an interest
and solidity in the concern obtainable
in no other way.
A very excellent grade of feeds and
supplies have been carried, and the
%populace have shown their apprecia-
ton by a strong and growing demand.
To this concern is due the unique
acknowledgment of having not only
materially lessened the prices of sup
plies, but having also paid a dividend
of SO for its first year of business, a
COllulllOu 81 ldT DIS we KNOW OF, WITH
out a parallel. This, however, has
been brought to pass by the energetic
and unselfish efforts of the officers and
directors, to whom great credit is due.
The Company has as directors
Messrs. Roland Hagerty, John j. Black
man, VIM. H. Garwood, John NJ. SUIT
ton, VIM. Bosch, Geo. Hartner, Henry
Rankins, VIM. Shafer and ]. R. Smith.
As officers: Roland Haggerty is Presi-
dent, VIM. Shafer vice-president, John
j.. Blackman treasurer, j. r. Smith
secretary. Mr.. Shafer has also lately
been elected to the office of bookkeep-
er. With the exception of the office of
bo%okkeeper, these offices pay no salary,
the incumbents having given their
time and talents freely for the first
year.
The selling end is ably taken care of
by Mr.. d. S. Collins, who with his
new auto truck makes it possible for
patrons, having no way of their own,
to get their supplies delivered. Judg-
ing from the past year and the needs
for the coming years, we predict a
useful and brilliant future for this
concern.

DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE
AT COUNTY FARM
All Frame outbuildlngs and Years
Crops Destroyed, Along With
Valuable Farm Utensils.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE UNKNOWN.

Fire of a mysterious origin was dis
covered Thursday at noon in one of a
group of buildings in close proximity
to the County Insane Asylum and the
Aims House at Smiths Landing.
Nearly 200 inmates of these two insti-
tutions and 100 tubercular patients at
Pine Rest, the county hospital at some
distance from the scene of the blaze.
were at first thrown into a panic, but
they were quickly treasured and the
inmates of the Aims House aided ma
terially in preventing the spread of
the flames and in saving the contents
of two buildings, which were practi-
cally destroyed.
A strong northeast wind kept the
flames from the Insane Asylum and
Aims House, a hundred yards distant
from the tool house, in which the fire
originated. 1t blew the flames direct
ly towards a big barn adjoining, how
ever, and this was destroyed, together
with a large hay crop, which had only
recently been harvested. All the live
stock with the exception of two calves,
which ran back into the flames after
they had once been rescued, escaped
unhurt. A low water pressure in the
county main and a lack of hose made
the Pleasantville iremen, who were
first to arrive on the scene, helpless.
A call for help was sent to the At
lantic City department, and Chief
Black responded in command of En-
CINE Company No. 4 and Truck B. The
trip to the mainland was made in rec
ord time, and the prompt arrival of
the fire fighters warded off all danger
from the Insane Asylum and Aims
House. Somers Point also sent it's
fire company, which did good work.
An effort was at first made to connect
the city with the county main, but this
was found to be impossible.
Working under the direction of
Howard Mcconnell, assistant superin-
tendent of the Almshouse, and DR..
Munro, the superintendent, inmates of
the institution saved the greater part
of he tools and farming implements.
The total loss is set at IS, 900, and of
this amount $4,000 is covered by insu-
rance. An investigation was made by
DR.. Munro Immediately after the fire
was eXtinguished in an effort to find
the cause, but without avail. Mayor
Bacharach and Director Thompson ex-
pressed themselves in favor of connec-
ting the city and county mains where
they approach closely together in Plea
santville as a means of avoiding such
a contingency in the future.

CABBAGE A DOLLAR A HEAD.

An automobile load of men drove up
to the farm of Samuel Farmer, who
lives on Adams avenue, Oakhurst, and
seeing some fine heads of cabbage and
no one in sight, proceeded to help
themselves. They cut five heads and
placed them in the automobile, when
to their surprise Mr.. Farmer appeared
upon the scene. He proceeded to give
them a lecture about stealing, when
one of the party suggested, "Oh, give
him a dollar" mo, you won't" came
back the reply, your act will cost you
just ten dollars" They laughed at the
suggestion, but when they realized
that Mr.. Farmer meant business by
threatening to summon an officer, they
went through all their pockets and
between them were able to get togther
five dollars, mostly in pennies and 9th
er small change. Being convinced that
this was all the money they had, Mr..
Farmer decided to accept. Now can
we take the cabbage with us?" n
queried. YES" replied Mr.. Farmer,
but let this be a lesson to you, and
when you eat the cabbage just remem-
Der that you are eating gold bricks"
Rather a high price to pay for cab
bage, but cheap for them at that.
