WARE WASTE AND
WEAR WE'LL
Human Bodies Are Poisoned by Their
DUN Waste. Most Illnesses
Are PreUentabie

The human body has to be heated and
fine foods burned inside the body pro-
duce much waste. Allthis waste should
be removed from the body regularly,
thoroughly, daily, by the eliminative
organs,-which are the bowels, kid
neys, skin, and to some extent the
lungs. These should act in harmony
if the bowels are inactive extra
effort is required of the others,
which easily become deranged. Many
medicines will force bowel action
temporarily but the after effects are
harmful. Many remedies are adver-
tised, some of which have proven.
year after year to be reliable, eftici.
ent, and without harmful action or
effect. Take Beecham's Pills for ex-
ample. For over 70 years Beech
ANS has been a household word all
over the world. 70 years of use
by all sorts of folks, men, women
and even children, have proven first,
that Beecham's Pills do what is
claimed for them; second, that they
are harmless, do not produce bad
effects. Some medicine forces Nature
to unnatural action Other medicines,
like those contained in Beecham's
Pills assist Nature, act mildly, per-
suade and hence produce no harmful
effects. 1t is common to find fam
lilies in which Beecham's have been
used by several generations, their
use handed down from father to son
and from mother to daughter.
That's the best possible recon-
mendation for any remedy. Every
druggist sells Beecham's, is. glad to
do so because he knows that their
ren1tation has been won hu merit

during the school year. After the
exercises, the school served ice-cream
and cake, and social dance was
held. The proceeds, $40, were given
to the scholarship fund. Both the
primary and grammar schools have
made excellent progress the past
year, and it is with regret that we
learn we cannot have these teachers
another year. Town Hill not only
appreciates the interest and good
work done in the school by Prin.
Brooks, but also his untiring efforts
in the uplift and social life of the

FROM REMOTEST
PARTS OF GLOBE
Tanlac Elements Come From Many
Lands Far Away From Here.

The ingredients from which the
celebrated medicine Tanlac is made,
come from remote sections of the
earth, and are transported thousands
of miles over land and sea to the
great Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton,
Ohio, and VAUDEVILLE, Canada.
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees,
Russian-Asia, Brazil, West Indies,
Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor,
Persia, India, Mexico, Colombia and
Peru are among the far away points
from which the principal properties
of this remarkable preparation are
obtained.
What is said to be the largest
pharmaceutical laboratory in the
United States has been completed at
Dayton, Ohio, for the manufacture of
Tanlac which, according to recent re-
ports, is now having the largest sale
of any medicine of it's kind in the
world; over 20,O00,000 bottles hav-
ing been sold in six years.
The new plant occupies 10000
square feet of floor space and has a
daily capacity of $4,000 bottles.
Uniform quality is guaranteed by a
series of careful inspections by ex-
pert chemists from the time the
roots, herbs, bark and flowers are
received in their rough state from all
parts of the globe until their medici-
nal properties have been extracted by
the most approved processes. The
finished medicine is then bottled,
labeled and shipped out to tens of
thousands of druggists throughout
the United States and Canada to sup
ply a demand never before equalled
by this, or any other medicine.
Tanlac is sold in Ellsworth by D..
G. Moore, in Sullivan by Dunbar
Bros, in Little Deer Isle by H. G..
Eaton, in Ashville by c. G. Small

1t is a lot of fun to try your wood
craft on the wild creatures just to
see how we'll you car deceive them,
and it is a lot more fun to be able
to capture them and keep them alive
long enough to be able to study
them at close range, note the color
of their eyes, their fur and watch
them for characteristic actions.
One of the sports that l used to
delight in when l was a boy was
capturing squirrels, chipmunks,
white-footed mice. shrews. and all
sorts of little animals of that type
and keeping them with me for a few
hours while l studied them and
watched their interesting actions.
Set Them Free.
Then l would take them back to
the place where L captured them
and free them once more. l have
studied the little creatures of the
woods aud field that way for hours
and 1 have learned a great deal more
about them than 1 could ever have
learned from books.
One of my favorite methods of
capturing little fellows. such as red
and gray squirrels, kangaroo and
white-footed mice, and eve cotton
tail rabbits, was with the use of the
famous old-fashioned figure four"
trap that was probably invented by
pioneers or even before them by the
Indians themselves. Here's how
you make a figure four trap:

Kit Carson Tree"
The California t ree,.a pine on
which Kit Carson carved his name
in 1874, when acting rs a guide to
Col. Fremont, has been given a place
in the Hall of Fame for trees with
a history by the American Forestry
Association, following it's nominar
by +. N. Fletcher of Carson City,
Nevada.
1t was on this trip that Col. Ere
mont discovered Lake Tahoe. The
pine was in a pass through the
Sierra Nevada mountains. The
tree was cut down in 1888 by Will.
liam Thornburg and j. f. O'Gor-
man to the associations data shows,
and the trunk with Carson's nape
cut in it was moved to Suffers Fort,
where it may now be seen. A full
account of the trees history has
been sealed up in a container in
the monument by Native Sons.
The hickory tree that grew in the
fireplace of the Kansas log cabin of
John Brown of Osawatomie and

mated for a place in the Hall of
Fame by Miss Eleanor NJ. Free
man of Seattle. Wash. In 1875
Miss Freeman's father visited the

left but from the fire place was
growing a hickory tree which Mr..
Freeman trimmed and from a
branch made a cane, which his

DET0UR STILL
At CL|FFWOOD
New Road at That Point Will
Not be Ready for Traffic
This Weekend
tBy Ev ming News CORRESPONDENCE


MATAWAN. Aug. 5.-Although it
had been expected that this borough
would be relieved of the heavy traf-
fic to the shore resorts this week, the
promise being hat at least part of
the new pavement at Keyport would
be completed so hat the traffic could
use it instead of the Cliffwood detour,
indications at this time are that the
oad will not be completed and ready
for traffic this weekend. The stormy
weather of the first part of the week
has done a great deal to keep the
contractor from completing the
work.
Even with the pavement from the
now paved highway near Cliffwood
to Broadway, Keyport. completed
autoists will find it necessary to de-
tour for about a mile and a half be-
fore connections can again be made
with the paved highway to the shore
resorts. This is due to the fact thar
the new pavement extending from
the paved highway to the shore,
through the city of Keyport proper,
connecting with the new pavement at
Broadway, Keyport, can not be COM
pleted for sometime. OF course the
weather of the next two weeks will
have a lot to do with the compile
ton of this work. 1t has already
been delayed several days by the
storm of the past week.
The Cliffwood detour now being
used while the new pavement be-
tween Cliffwood and Keyport Is in
course of construction, is In a very
bad condition. The roads are muddy
and filled with bad ruts. Although
very unpleasant to ride over, the
road is not considered in a danger
GUS condition.
The new Matawan-Freehold road,
to Lakewood and Atlantic City, is
still incompleted. There are about
forty feet of the road yet to be paw
e9, but with three or four good dry
days the work can be completed. Be
ginning tomorrow a new detour Will
be used On this road. This detour
will be much shorter than the one in
use heretofore and will begin at
the Freneau hotel and end within a
mile of the borough of Matawan.
Good dirt roads will be found on the
new detour. The detour now in
use is in poor condition. With this
new road open. the motorists will
have twelve miles of excellent paved
road directly into Freehold. This
will be found to be one of the finest
roads in Monmouth county.
Although It was expected that h
work of rebuilding the draw bridge
over Matawan creek, a short dis
lance from Newport, would start in
in July. the work has not been start
ed as vet. Traffic will be permitted
over the structure while the work is
going on. This will be done by
building a temporary bridge over the
present structure.
