SPREAD CHEER
At CHRISTMAS
MechanicSviIIe Hose Co. to
Have Tree, Santa Claus
and Presents for All

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 14.-The
Mechanicsville Hose Company on
December ~ at their headquarters,
corner Of Alpine and Raritan streets,
Will hold their second annual COM
munity Christmas tree. The affair,
to he held annually. was tried out
last year, the result of which was so
pleasing that the members of the
fire company promised to make the
community tree n of the features
kpf this years work.
This years committee in charge of
tree and its arrangements, is
headed by Frederick Kurowski. AS
q means of helping to defray part
OF the expense of the tree and the
entertainment held in conjunction
with it, the committee decided that
. motion picture benefit at a local
theatre would be as good as any. and
accordingly set about their plans.
according to the report of the chair
man of the committee. Mr.. Kurow-
iki, Is receiving good consideration.
Mr.. Kurowski, in a letter to the
different pastors of the city advis-
ing them Of their undertaking,
Asked that they send a list Of chill
dren who are crippled or who for
any eason could not get to the fire
house on the day set. The commit
tee added that they would send con-
yeyances to the homes of such chill
dren, so as to insure their being
there. The committee is to receive
any contributions the pastors may
give regardless of the size of the
amount.
The children of all sections of the
city have been invited to attend the
affair. Santa Claus OF n of his as
sistants will be on hand. The pro-
gram. as arranged by those in
charge, will consist of an hours per-
Torrance by hired talent. The tall
emit will be suitable to the tastes of
children. 1t is planned to have the
children meet Santa Claus on their
way out of the building. A present,
together with candy and other good
les, will be given each child.
The Christmas tree will be placed
Just outside the doors of the fire.
house. Hundreds of electric lights,
with many colors, will adorn the
ktree. The tree will he lighted all
Dduring Christmas week.
Tie f1remen have only n re-
~striction in the matter of eligibility.
They ask that all parents who want
their children to participate in h
festivities, to call with them or send
them to the fire house on Friday and
Saturday, between the hours of 2 to
5 o'clock. where they will be regis
tered and given an admission ticket.
The reason for this procedure is
to give the committee an idea of
just how many children to prepare
for. 1t is important. Mr.. Kurowski
says, that the children be registered.
The motion picture benefit will be
held some time next week. Many
tickets have been sold.

fortunate exception. But If you find the
fat accommodating or already cumbersome.
you will be wise to follow this suggestion,
which is endorsed by thousands of people
who know. Ask your druggist for Marmola
Prescription Tablets and follow directions.
One dollar is the price the world over. Get
them from your own druggist or send price
direct to MarmoIa Co.. 1912 Woodward

will be safe from harmful drugs and be
able to reduce steadily and easily. without
Narration diet or tiresome exercise.

LOSE APPEAL TO U. S. COURT
Salt Lake Jurist holds Minnesota Levy
on Ore Sigging Is Constitutional.

ST. Paul-The Minnesota occupa.
tional tax on the mining of iron ore,
the so-called tonnage tax law, was up.
held as constitutional by Judge Till.
man D. Johnson Of Salt Lake City, in
decision handed down in United
States district court.
The 30 mining companies which
seek to prove the law unconstitutional
lose on three major points in Judge
Johnson's decision.
The hearing on a permanent injunc.
ton sought by the inning companies
was held April 10, in the federal court
roms in st. Paul. The operators made
three major contentious in their ar
gument to prove the law unconstitu-
tional. One was that the tax was a
burden on interstate commerce, the
second that it was not levied Inform
ly, and the third that it was not right
fully an occupational tax but a prop
erty tax, and, as such, represented
double taxation.

REDUCTION IN
!, FREIGHT RATES
Commerce Commission DEGREES
Reduction in Freight Rates
Except Farm Products.

Observation-Disclosures in freight
rates averaging about 10 per cent were
ordered by the interstate commerce
commission in a decision resulting
from its inquiry into the general rate
structure of the nation.
The cut in freight rates was fixed by
the commission at IA per cent in east
ern territory, 1874 per cent in western
territory and 121a per cent in the
southern and mountain Pacific terri
tories.
All reductions ordered are effective
July and constitute a greater cut
than was generally expected.
Agricultural products will not be
affected by the reduction granted un-
der the commissions order. The re-
duction of 161s per cent made in the
western hay and grain rates last fall
and the voluntary 10 per cent cut in
all agricultural products by railroads
January l will be substituted for the
decision on these commodities.

FIVE DIE IN SEWER; 6 HURT
Three Firemen Lose Lives in Attempt
to Rescue Laborers From Fumes.

Milwaukse-Three city flremen and
two tunnel workers were killed by gas
and electricity at the bottom of a So
foot shaft of the intercepting sewer
system. Nearly score of firemen
were overcome by gas fumes and six
seriously hurt.
A call to the rescue squad of the fire
department was received when three
workmen had gone down the shaft and
did not return.
Gas masks, used by the firemen,
gave them little protection and they
made little Roadway. The first two
firemen to descend are believed to
have met almost instant death after
fighting the gas fumes, when they at
tempted to cut the bodies of the work
men from high tension electric wire.
The gas is an accumulation natural to
underground passages, officials of the
construction company declared. Its
formation was attributed to the fail
ure of pumps to function during the
night.
