Start now by serving milk at every meal, to insure **A quart « day for every child—a pint a day for erery adult.\ It is a fact that habitual milk-drinkers seldom know what it is to feel tired—- really tired.

Going 3own the first part of last week, accompanied by Mr. Gould Hun- ter as far as Newark, he made the trip in one day, driving J 8 hours and covering 575 miles. Mr, Brou- ghton remarked upon his return that times seem to be very hard there; that of 11 banks in the city before the .depression there are now only four and that some of the closed ones, he understood, had never, paid a five percent dividend. Many of the large ho- tels had been through the mills of liquidation and some were being reopened. Property and real es- state have dwindled from enorm- ous values to practically nothing strewn all over the, road and sidewalks on the street A particular instance happen- ed last week end, when a local resident's garden was raided of squash and pumpkin and deliber- ately smashed on the sidewalk nearby. Fort Covington is fortunate in having relatively few bad boys. Perhaps the town hasn't any. Perhaps the fellows who committed these depredations are in sympathy with the A A A, crop market control and the des- truction of surpluses. DEPOT DISCONTINUED AT BLOOMINGDALE, NY. The Delaware and Hudson Railroad Corporation has been authorized to discontinue its station at Bloomingdale in the Town and County of Franklin, except for carload freight The evidence clearly indicated that maintenance of a passenger sta- tion or freight house is not re- quired and that demand for pas senger service does not require stopping passenger trains. The company proposes to re- move the passenger station and freight house and discontinue all passenger train service,' in- cluding the handling of mai 1, small freight shipments and ex- press. Small freight shipments averaged 1.86 a day in 1933 * and express shipments^ v e r a g e <\ 1.54 a day during the same year. John J.

To see Mr. Elliott today one would never guess his age nor would they believe the sick ness he has gone through. Right now, he is recovering splendidly under a serum treat- ment given him by Doctor White of Malone froitf a skin cancer on the face with which he has been afflicted for the past couple of years. At one time, about a year ago, he thought he was rid of it when the core was removed by a plaster method. It came back however. With pardonable pride, Mr. Elliott likes to tell of his strug- gles to overcome the growth of this cancer but he credits the splendid care and medical at- tention he has received. He looks forward eagerly to the day wh«m he will be entirely free of it again. FT.
