Constipation.

Constipation of the bowels is stop

moves waste matter from the body.
It is as necessary that your bowels
move regularly once each day, to car

waste pipes of your home be kept
open and carry off the waste from the
house. If you would enjoy good
health, keep your bowels regular by
taking Chamberlain's Tablets when
needed.-Adv. o

OCEAN CITY NEWS.

The work at Ocean City this year
has been devoted to the remodelling
and repairing of the boardwalk, which
has been conducted under the direc-
ton of the Mayor, and which has also
been accompanied by the remodelling
Of many of the boarding houses along
the Avenue.
The electric light plant of Ocean
City has started work on the new
foundations for the oil engine which
is to supply the power for the cleo
trio light of the City. This improve
ment is much needed one, and will
add to the efficiency of the town
lights. It is expected that the engine
will be installed before spring.
Miss Josephine Hastings, formerly
of the Hastings Hotel, has completed
the erection Of a new hotel on the
Boardwalk, consisting Of forty rooms,
with bath attached. This hotel will
be open to the public June Is, 1923,
and is to be named after the Tray
more Hotel, Of Atlantic City.
Messrs. George Baker, James Jes-
ter, Stacy Ludlam, and Daniel Trimp,
er, Jr., have been elected runners for
the Ocean City Fire Company. They
are to assist the firemen in case of
fire in the way of alarms and the car
rying Of needed articles from the fire
house. This step on the part of the
fire authorities in using the youth of
the community is a forward step, and
will greatly enhance the efficiency of
the workers, who will find the assis-
lance of young and ready helpers of
great value.
Mr.. Lloyd Jester, one of our most
energetic young men, has purchased
the store Of Mr.. Walter CULLEN, op-
posite the bank, and will open gene
raj stationery store and quick lunch,
supplying oysters, candy and all other
CONNECTIONS during the winter. This
store will be the basis Of his store on
the Boardwalk in the summer, which
has always been popular.
The Mayor and Council of the City
have passed an ordinance forbidding
any person from using the new jetties
for either fishing or bathing. The
danger in walking out on these jet
tees lies chiefly in their natural slip
perry condition and in the fact that
the swirl of waters around the founda-
ton makes the town use of them es-
recially dangerous. One of our boys
John Laws, slipped from the piling.
and suffered injuries which have kept
him confined to his home for several
weeks. This example is sufficient to
show the wisdom of this new ordi-
nance.
Mrs. George Kelly has been made
forewoman of the Shirt Factory here,
and under her supervision this little
enterprise is taking on new develop
ment. The output is rapidly increas-
ing and the enthusiasm for the work
under her care is increasing the eff
cheney Of the employees.
Mrs. John Whaley spent the past
week in Berlin with her relatives
there.
Several prominent ladies Of the
City spent Friday evening in Sails
bury at the display of models. We
shall expect at Easter time an I'M
usual display, but we are treasured
by later reports. It is hopefully ex-
pected that the revelations will not be
as thorough as in former years.

Text of Resolution

The resolution reads as follows:
 Whereas it has come to our notice recently that John E. Ballaine, a resi- dent of Seattle, Washington, has be- gun a campaign of personal spite against Aalskans and the conduct of Alaskan affairs, with particular venom directed against the Alaska railroad in which slight regard is paid to the truth; and
 Whereas, the said John E. Ballaine, in his controversy with officials and individuals in Washington, D. C., and Gov. Scott c. Bone of Alaska, has rep resented that he voices the senti- nent of the people of Alaska, and
 Whereas, the said John l.. Ballaine has not been an active resident of Alaska for many years and during his non-residence has irrevocably allied himself against the best interests of Alaska and the devolpment and pro- gress of the Alaska railroad belt, par ticularly; now, therefore,

Alice opened the door, he nodded,

he hesitated to decide some perplexing
question.
"Wen, how is he now?" he asked,
inally.

looked up at her with a glimmer Of

Yes. He's talked a little. His

laughed sadly. I'VE were lucky
enough II get her back. but papa
didn't seem to think it was lucky.
When he recognized her he said. oh,
my goodness, 'tisn't you, is it!

But he didr' she cried.

Practically. Il expect so, probably.

There was a spark in the old blue
