DUMP Superintendent
HAS Been SUGGESTED
Board of Health Suggests That a Man
BE Named to Superintend the
City's Dump aud Supervise
It's Burning.

For the past several days or before
the wet spell set in, the city's dump on
Bridge street has been burning and
the fumes from the burning debris
has iloated all over the section of the
city within a mile of the dump caus-
ing no small annoyance to the resi-
dence in this district
The Ledger yesterday suggested
that this burning should be under the
supervision of some one and that it
should be done by the city Fire De-
partment instead of by children and
most any one being at the dump.
The Board of Health has suggested
to the city officials that a special man
be designated as dump superintendent
to supervise the dumping of all ma
terials on the city dump and to ass
sist the firemen in its systematic
burning. While it might not be prac-
ticable for the city to employ a man
for all time to supervise the city
dump, some one could at least be
named to locate parts of the dump for
all combustible material so that it
could be kept to itself by the express
men dumping there and could be
burned when the weather conditions
were best suited. 1t is more than
likely that this halter will receive the
immediate attention of the city Of
iicials.

Two Preachers Sidestep After Hear

Much Trouble in Getting
Married.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Clergymen of
Gloucester City, n. j., have gone on
strike against the love affair of Hous-
ton Richards, 10 years old, 12O North
Sartain street, Philadelphia, and his
stepmother, Mrs. Catherine Richards
of the same address, three years his
senior.
They wish to be married, but two
clergymen engaged to say the blessed
words have suddenly developed con-
scientious objections to the ceremony
when they learned the identity of the
pair, and there seems to be no solu-
ton of the veXatious questions via the
Gloucester City ministerial route.
The couple were to have been mar
lied by the Rev. ]. w. Nicholson of
the Methodist church, but when the
appointed time came the preacher
sent word that he was going out OF
town. and besides his conscience for
bade him to have any hand in the af-
fair.
Then arrangements were made with
the Rev. Franklin Haley, pastor OF
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
broadway and Viola streets, Camden,
to go to Gloucester City and perform
the ceremony at the home of friend
At II o'clock cab arrived at his
home carry him to the scene of the
proposed wedding, but the Rev: MIR
Haley, having learned of the couples
identity, also developed conscientious
objections. He refused to take taxi
ride.
If a justice of the peace can be
found to marry them the young man
will become the stepfather of his own
brothers and sisters

WOMEN WHO FASCINATE

The art.of fascination and attrac-
tiveness in women is founded on good
health. Women who drag through
long hours, days, weeks and some
times months of suffering with head
aches, backache and dragging-down
pains soon wear the tell-tale express
sion of woe and misery. If every such
woman would only turn to that good
old-fashioned root and herb remedy

pound, to alleviate such ailments il
would surely prove the greatest aid
to health and consequent beauty that
