County Loses $4,000
In Court Decision
Suit Brought Against State in
Effort to Collect Fees for
Hospital Patients.

In a recent decision of the Supreme
Court, the opinion in which was hand
ed down by Justice Katzenbach, the
Board of Freeholders has lost a suit
against the State of New Jersey in
volving the sum of $4,000. The action
was brought against State Comptroller
Bugbee to compel the Comptroller to
pay State money for the care of a
number of destitute patients at Pine
Rest Sanitaium from July LIST, 1921,
until March 31st, 1922, at the rate of
Sc a week
County Solicitor Higbee commended
hat the sum of Sc a week was due to
the County under the laws of 1918
when the Legislature passed an act
saying that the price to be paid for
keeping any poor person in a county
institution shall be determined by the
State House Commission. Under this
act, the compensation paid to Atlantic
County for INDECENT patients vas fixed
by the State House Commission at Sc.
"The relator (the Freeholders of
Atlantic) insists" said Justice Kat
zenbach's opinion, that there is an
implied repeater of the provisions re-
lating to payment for INDECENT tuber-
cular patients contained in the 1912
act by Chapter lat of the laws of 1918
(The law of 1918 referred to-. To es-
tablish this insistence that relator
must show thai a repeal was effected
either because the act of 1918 covers
the same subject matter or because
it's provisions are repugnant to the
statute of 1912"
The act of 1918, according to the
opinion, was simply a repeater of 1853
diversified statutes dealing with sub
jects of a penal, charitable and o r
rectional nature and it expressly re-
pealed every act the provisions of
which were included in the new re-
vised act.
The passage of this act" read the
opinion further, was tantamount to
the way of a repeater was to be left
to implication"
The Supreme Court said that this
evidence that it was the legisla-
tive purpose to leave the act concern
ing tuberculosis. under which Allan
tic County received SO per week per
patient. unaffected by the revision of
the acts expressly repealed.
For these reasons we are of the
opinion" concluded the court, that
the relator has failed to show either
that the revision of 1918 is repugnant
to the provisions of the 1912 tubercu-
losis act, or that the subject matter
of the 1912 act is covered by the 1918
revision. Hence there was no implied
repeater of the act concerning tuber-
culosis by Chapter lat of the laws of
1918. The rates of payment for indi-
gent tubercular patients are governed
by Chapter 217 of the laws of 1912
(authorizing payment of So per week
for patients). and the amendments
thereto"

A SUBMITTED.

At a meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation held on Tuesday evening an
architect submitted plans for the pro-
posed new four room school at Leeds
Avenue. 1t is to be of bungalow type
and will cost about $4,000 to build.
No definite action has yet been taken
on the matter and the plans were re-
ferred to the property committee.
Although it was originally planned
that students would be admitted to the
new Decatur Avenue School building
in the Spring, it is doubtful if the
building will be completed before
June, according to members of the
Board of Education and others who
follow school matters. Work has been
held up through lack of materials, la
Dor troubles and bad weather.

MUST SHOW OR
QUIT TALKING
Senator Edge, Mayor Bader and
Judge Smathers Hot on Trail
of Graft Chargers.
Must Produce Evidence

The recent alleged accusations made
by Prohibition Enforcement Agent
Appleby and Rev. Marina S. Poulson
regarding graft, bootlegging and gam
bling being prevalent in Atlantic
County have stirred officials of city,
county and nation to the point where
the have been given notice
to produce proofs or quit talking
along the lines they have.
County Judge Smathers has given
Rev. M. S. Poulson three days to ap-
pear before the Grand Jury with tes-
timony In support of his recent claims,
or a process would be served upon
him to appear. The minister has an
swered that he will obey the call if it
comes to him so that something def
mite may be looked for in the near
future, either to prove or disprove the
statements which have been recently
made.
United States Senator Edge has been
somewhat of a target of late in some
of these matters. Ministers and 9th
ers have said lots regarding his stand
on these matters, and now the Sena-
tor is on the warpath. He has insist
ed that Appleby appear in Atlantic
County and give testimony on matters
which have been discussed through
newspapers.
This Friday night Mrs. Young, a
prohibition agent, is to be on trial in
Atlantic City on a charge growing out
of activities there, and Senator Edge
has demanded that Appleby be pres
ent and given an opportunity to back
up any charges that may have been
made. The outcome is of interest
throughout the County, because of the
widespread publicity of the matters
the past few days. +

"UNpER TWO FLAes1 |AT PALACE TONIGHT

The longing in the hearts of all for travel and adventure heightens the popular appeal of Under Two Flags" the great Universal dramatiz- ation of Ouida's famous novel, which comes to the Palace Theatre tonight. Theatre-goers are transported for an evening to Algeria, the French pro vince in northern Africa, where this immortal romance unfolds. With Priscilla Dean as Cigarette, the beau tiful girl of Algiers, one sees the life of the French army post, have a glimpse of a sheik's luxurious palace, and ride with a cavalry troop across the desert in a mad race against death.
 Tod Browning, director of Under Two Flags" has caught the foreign atmosphere of the story in every foot of film. The plot is one of love and danger that might be told in any language, but he has built up TO- mantle photoplay that fairly breathes the spirit of the African desert.

The use of Sage ana Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used 1t to keep her hair beautifully dark. glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that duii, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.

Nowadays, by ask ing at any drug store for a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addition to other ingredients. which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown drug gist says it darkens the hair so na- turally that nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
