The gasoline dinky which makes
Lambertville right next door to
Stockton, and way stations so to
speak, cruelty separated two of our
most affectionate sisters Wednesday
morning, when Helen Moore beat
her sister, Mildred, in a neck anc
neck race from the last egg and
piece of toast to the end of the
baggage car.
We begin to appreciate the rea-
son why the modern business wo-
man prefers the thin and sylphlke
figure.
Mildred arrived at work by the
next train somewhat later in the
morning, while Helen came in "by
freight" 1t is the call of that last
piece of toast and another mouthful
of coffee and the other three minutes
of sleep that is the siren song Of
these commuters.

ficient notice will be given long be-
fore to everybody from the Main

are simply enjoying the sensation
of being victimized by the village
gossips.

SMITH SHELLACS DESK
Smell of Alcohol Leads SIeuth to
Discovery

The odor of alcohol waited by the
gentle breezes thru the corridor of
the Packing Room Wednesday af-
ternoon lead our Local Sleuth to
an important discovery.
When his prohibition proboscis
was penetrated by the pungent per
fume he hied himself hastily for
his sample bottle and then proceed
ed with much caution to investigate
the source. Entrance was effected
without the use of force. When he
entered the room, there was Mr..
H. B. Smith, our dignifed Employ
ment Manager, on his knees as in
prayer. Thinking that he had in
truded on Lenten devotionals he
was about to withdraw when he
noticed battered pail from whence
the odor seemed to emanate. EN-
boldened, he ventured further into
the sanctum and discovered that Mr..
Smith had firmly in his grasp
frayed paint brush.
The object of his devotions was
his desk which stood mutely unpro-
testing before the impending flood
of shellac. Subsequent investiga-
tons discovered it entirely rejuver
ated and looking like new and
young desk. The method is not
patented.

transfusions of blood were found i'm
mediately necessary.
Mr.. H. B. Smith went to Boston

hospital. A letter from her nurse
was his last information and it
reported that she was very slightly
improved and was able to take a
little liquid nourishment.

BOOT ROOM

If you want the little details as
to just exactly what happened at
all this movie stuff just forget
what they have to say in other
departments and listen in at the
door of the Boot Room.
Jack Masten the foreman of
the Union was the hero of the
occasion. Joe Patterson and Jack
Buchanan held down one end of the
hose very nicely for the same de-
partment and Colonel Kelly was our
representative with the Hibernia.
Performing for the movies has a
few kicks that real fires do not
supply and this department was
justly proud of the way in which its
representatives deported themselves
under the exception and unusual
circumstances. Drawing the dangers
of the slippery roof, assisting mired
engines, making up for the arti-
fetal smoke with pipes and so on.
Had there been a movie machine
around at the time, we doubt if the
Perseverance Mill would ever have
succeeded in burning up at all.
Charley Allen and Sam Cox and
John Stout are no longer with us.
Jim McQuillan returned to his

After several futile attempts in
the direction of Chevrolet, Walter
Krosky has decided to stick to his

pairs of boots. He admits it, but
one day by accident he made Is
pairs and got done in reasonable
time. When he discovered that he
was scheduled for Is pairs again
the next day he Immediately began
to be panicky and had to have the
extra pair given to other makers.

He joined the illegal organization of his | countrymen about a year ago, and took active part in the operations against the Serbians. He soon was elected chief of powerful band.

 The former professor Of philosophy conducted the operations so we'll that the entire military escort was killed or captured in the mountains, and the treasure was appropriated by the rebels.

Washington, April 4-Taxes on nnah jong and radio sets were voted into the revenue bill last night by the sen- ate finance committee which at the same time approved the reduction in automobile taxes and repeal of the candy tax voted by the house.
 The gift tax and increase in the es- tate taxes rates voted by the house, however, were knocked out of the bill. The present estate tax rates were re- stored but provision was made for q change in the brackets to which they would apply so that the revenue in- crease of s12.0oo.oo0 which would lave resulted from the house increase would be effected.
 By further action at the night ses- sion insurance companies were ex- empted from the increase of 11s per cent voted recently by the committee in the corporation tax of 12ts per cent. Chairman Shoot explained the companies would be unable to benefit with other corporations by the repeal of the special tax on capital stock which was made to offset the increase in the corporation tax

Diseases traced 10 constipation are many get permanent relief with Keliogg's Bran

Why does constipation breed other diseases' Because it floods your sys, tenn with dangerous poisons. And the longer you suffer, the more poisons accumulate. That is why constipation should be relieved at once.
 Doctors recommend Kellogg 6 Bran, cooked and krumbled. They know it brings results because it is ALL bran. And only ALL bran can be 100 per cent effective in relieving constipation. ALL bran - Kellogg's - sweeps, cleans and purifes the intestine. It acts as nature acts. It makes the in, testine function naturally and regu. larly. If eaten regularly, it will bring permanent relief in the most chronic cases of constipation-is guaranteed

LAPS DESPISE THE
 QUAKE PROPHET
People of Tokio Suffering From Case of Earthquake Complex

1okio. April IA large propor
 ton of the citizens of Tokio are suf-
 fering from a bad case of earth
 quake complex, which is no marvel when one realizes how their city has
 been treated by Mother Earth in the
 last six months
 Consider the casualty reports for the earthquake of January IS. a min or shock as compared with the great one Of September 1, but still strong enough to produce a profound and disheartening impression on the over- wrought nerves of Tokio residents. Less than ten persons died in Tokio In this small quake. but about half the deaths were due to efforts to es- cape rather than to the quake itself. A student jumped from a high win dow and 'was killed. One man, dash Ing from his house at the first shock, ran in front of moving tramcar and died. A mother, crazed by fright. choked her infant to death. Two re- ports of death gave the cause as fright There were a few minor in- luries to foreign residents, all but one or two due to jumps from win- dows or collisions in the dark.
 The general nervousness which these incidents illustrate contributes almost as much to the discomfort of life in Tokio as the physical results of the great earthquake. In its present mood Tokio has no love or admira- ton of Raphael Bendanti. the Italian sculptor -seismo ologist. The papers have devoted much space to Bendan- tfs predictions, also to those of the native seismologists. They say that it is bad enough to experience the quakes without having to read about them in advance. '
 Japanese seismologists are working hard with the wealth of material at their disposal, trying to discover some trustworthy basis for forecast ing quakes. Many of them have gone 10 Mount Tanzawa. one of the Hakone range southwest of Tokio. believed to have been the center of the January IS temblor, to study the data na- lure offers them there. woodmen living on the slopes of this mountain tell weird tales of terrific rumblings and explosions heard in the interior of the mountain on September and January 15.
 One of the most eminent of these scientists. after lengthy study. pre- diets that eastern Japan will suffer at least four more shocks in 1928 as se- | were as that of January 1b. Another. equally eminent, says there will be no | more severe shocks for some years. l Tokio believes neither one nor the l other. but hopes for the best and | tries not to expect the worst.
