five pounds; now she weighs one

Mrs. White has been suffer

nervousness eighteen years, (" he
continued, "and for a long time
had been unable to leave the

I could get for treatments and
medicines but she never got any
better. She was a complete

cramps in her stomach and after
eating she could hardly breathe

STAYED home with her weeks at a

worse all the time,
After hearing so much talk
about Tanlac l bought some for
my wife and in just a few days

She has now taken about twelve

If anybody tells you that
Hodeck needs one week to press
your suit, tell him he is mistak-

shop and only want it pressed,
you get it back the same day.
If the suit is to be dry cleaned,
you get it back next day. II
your suit is to be scrubbed, you
get it as soon as it is dry, in
rainy weather this takes more
time than in dry weather.
If you send suit to repair or
alter, you must wait until get
time to do such work, because
cleaning and pressing comes in
ahead of this class of work. |
need more time to do cleaning

Race For Congress
Nearing the Close
Sisson's Machine is Feverish :
Likely Busby Landslide

aThe days of the Congressional
carnpaign are drawing to a close.
| have tried to conduct my part
of i'll On a high plane. dealing
only with the issues that con-
front bur Government and the
record of my opponent as shown
by the Official Records of Con-
gress. The fight | have made
has been clean and hard.
Notwithstanding this | have
heard many untrue and preJu-
diced reports that are being cir
culated to injure me in the
election. If you will stop to
think, | am up against one of
the strongest and most powerful
political machines that it is
possible to construct with oppo-
nents and the use Of Fedora
patronage. In an endeayor to
perpetuate its builder in office
and, as they think, its members
in the positions they now hold,
the machine is running now at
full blast. They are full OF
anxiety and getting feverish
over the situation and putting
forth every effort and making
every play that can be brought
into being by a strong political
machine.
My friend, you need not be
surprised to hear of any kind
of report being circulated to
iniure me from now until the
election. This is political.
This is not. only my fight but
the peoples fight unless they
are willing to be bossed by the
machine.
The outlook for us to win is
exceedingly bright. In fact, 1t
looks as if we have a real land
slide out of the election. With
the continued earnest work OF
our friends from now on and
including election day, we will
win by one of the biggest ma
iorities ever accorded candi-
cate in this section of the coun-
try-work and vote to burst up
this bossing machine instead OF
voting to keep it in power
break it up with such force that
there will remain no doubt as to
how the people of the Fourth
Congressional District condemn
machine politics.
Sincerely your friend
jeff Busby.

Court

The spring term of Salem County
Courts vas concluded on Friday last.
For various reasons few of the cases
set down for hearing and some were
settled without a jury.
On Thursday last in the matter of
Hirsco Silverman and others against
Harry Green over the trading in of an
automobile in the purchase of a new
car, the jury rendered a verdict for
defendant in the sum of $50.
In the Ease of Albert Tranben and
others VS.. Abe Braptspis over a bill of
goods, the jury rendered a verdict in
favor of Tranben for 5000.
An order was signed by Judge Wtd-
dington denying the right to probate a
paper purporting to be the last will
and testament of the late John K.
Duffy, of Penns Grove. The reason
for this was because the attestation
clause had not been properly executed
in that the witnesses did not sign in
the presence of each other. In fact
n witness testified that he never saw
nor knew the other.
The case of Charles Leonard, Over
seer of the Poor of Penns Grove, plain
tiff, VS.. J. Broadus Mears defendant,
was settled by the Court affirming the
judgment of the lower Court whereby
Mears is to pay $500 per week toward
the support of a child born at Penns
Grove.

Water Found

The Penns Grove Ice Plant bought
water from the Penns Grove Water
Supply Company with artesian wells
at Perkintown millpond. Last winter
Harry S. Barber had a ~four-inch well
bored at the plant to the depth of IS
feet from which an abundant supply
is being pumped. The water has much
iron in it but it has a palatable taste.
This does not damage it for making
ice for cooling purposes. Mr.. Barber
expects to have a system erected to
take the iron out.
A second 4-ineh well has been bored
to the depth of 125 feet. A good flow
of water has been found in it, but it
is not connected with pumps for con-
tinuous use. These wells will save MI.
Barber about $1,000 a year for water.
