PRISONER IN HER
HOME J MONTHS
Mrs. Lee Was So Crippled by
Rheumatism She Couldn't
Walk From Room to Room

That Tanlac is an ideal medicine
and tonic for elderly people has
been conclusively proven by h
statement of thousands who have
tested its remarkable merits. Fur
Their evidence of this fact is fur-
nished by the experience of Mrs.
Emaline Lee, 263 Garside street.
Newark, N. J.. who is now three
score and eleven. Mrs. Lee recently
said:
"By the help of Tanlac I have
overcome a case Of indigestion n
rheumatism from which l had suf-
fered for two years. I had no appe-
tite and my stomach and nerves
were bothering me a great deal. but
the rheumatism troubled me worst
of all. My knees were so swollen and
painful l couldn't leave the house
and, in fact, I was unable to go
down stairs, and could hardly move
about the rooms
after I finished my fourth bottle
of Tanlac I went down town, which
was my first time outdoors in near
ly three months. / believe the rheu-
matism has left me for good, for 1
never feel a touch of it any more.
II also enjoy a splendid appetite,
good digestion, perfect nerves and
sound, refreshing sleep. Not only
has Tanlac rid me of stomach trou-
BILE and rheumatism, but it has also
acted as a tonic, for I have gained
several pounds in weight and have
a good, healthy color. Nothing too
good can be said for Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold by all good drug

NEW BRIDGE
FOR MATAWAN
Work on New Span, Which
Will be Temporary, to
Start Soon

MATAWAN. Nov. 1.-THE Board
of Freeholders will begin work in
the immediate future, it is said, on
the erection Of a temporary bridge
across the brook at the water works
in Church street to take the place
of the original structure which was
destroyed some months ago when
a heavily laden automobile truck
crashed through it.
At first the freeholders planned
on putting a permanent structure
across the stream. but the question
of a lake came up and It was decid-
ed that If the lake was built a more
handsome structure would be in
keeping with the surroundings than
that planned and after the council
last Tuesday night passed the park
ordinance thus assuring a lake, it Is
believed that the freeholders will
make preparations at once for the
erection of a beautiful span early in
the summer. 1t is understood hat
the new bridge will be raised con-
siderable above the site occupied by
the old one.
The freeholders, it is understood,
also plan many changes in the Main
street, near the head of the lake.
The road at this point will be raised
considerably and widened several
feet so as to beautify the spot and
better care for traffic.

PERSONAL SUCCESS FOR

ROME, Nov. II tBy The Asso-

first appearance before the Italian
chamber proved a great personal
success. He spoke t o the deputies
as he had addressed the leaders of
his Facisti legion ard his orders
were received with similar appar-
ent obedience. He announced his
foreign and internal policies and
warned his adversar;es that the Fa-
cistl government has come to stay.
He did not ask but demanded a
vote of confidence in his govern
ment declaring that If the deputies
refused their mandates would be
withdrawn.
His bitterest enemies, who had
looked forward to his encounter
with the experienced politicians on
their own battlefield were disap-
pointed and his friends are saying
lie is the greatest leader Italy has
seen since Christi and that the Fa-
cIsti rule will endure.
At today's meeting of the cham
Der the minister of the treasury,
Professor Tangorra, will explain the
details of the governments plan for

liquor that is being consumed has
no bearing on the increased number
Of booze admissions. THE condi-
ton of the patients we are getting
is virtually the same as it ever was
and the customary symptoms are
noticeable" declared the medical
director.
With the coming of prohibition,
he continued, there had been a
sharp decline in the number of pa
tients admitted as a result of con
Stunning too much liquor. For the
ten-year period preceding the pas
sage of the eighteenth amendment
exactly 81 per cent of all the pa
tients admitted to the hospital owed
their predicament to intoxicants.
Prohibition, however, soon
brought a marked drop, declared
DIR. Cotton. From 81 per cent the
number declined sharply to seven
and then gradually dwindled until
of all the patients coming into the
institution only two per cent were
victims of alcohol.
Then a consistent increase was
apparent. said DR.. Cotton, and up to
July L of this year the total had
grown to 10 per cent. Since then
the jump in booze victims has been
startling, reaching the astonishing
proportions of so per cent. In other
words. since the first of July just
half of the patients coming into the
State Hospital are alcoholics. DR..
Cotton explained that these figures
apply almost exclusively to male pa
tients, asserting that few women
ever reach the institution for treat
ment for alcoholism.

FIRE DESTROYS
LARGE BARN
Spontaneous Combustion is
Given as Cause of Blaze
Yesterday

TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 17:-Spon-
taneous combustion is believed to
have been responsible for a fire
which destroyed a large two-story
frame barn on the farm of Anton
H~abercorn at 240 Sharrott road,
Kreischerville, shortly before 8
O'clock yesterday afternoon. The
barn had only recently been filled
with new hay and this is believed to
have been the cause of the combus-
ton which set the building on fire.
The building was totally destroyed.
The loss is estimated to be about
)$2, goo. An alarm vas sent in to fire
7 headquarters and when the volun-
teer fremen of Kreischervil1e and
paid department of Dongan Hills
arrived the building was a mass of
flames and their attentions were di-
rected toward adjoining structures.
An investigation was made by the
police of the fire and the report
made Is that spontaneous combus-
ton was the cause. There have been
q number of brush fires reported in
various sections during the past
week or more and it was thought at
first that the blaze had started from
that cause, but there had been no
fire of that description near the
barn.
A fire in a three-story brick struc-
ture occupied as a shirt factory in
West New Brighton which caused
damage to the stock and building
to the amount of $25, 900 gave the
f1remen of the north side of the is
land much concern early yesterday
morning. The fireboat Zophar Mills
recently placed in service at st.
George at the new fire station was
called into service for the first time.
The police are still conducting an
investigation of the fire which de-
stroyed the drugstore of Alfred
Stadleman at Great Kills last week.
