Bond is an obligation TO a money al

A Bond is an obligation to pay money at
a certain time. 1t is usually accompanied
by a mortgage on real estate, which is col
lateral security for the payment of the
money mentioned in the bond. The bond is
the evidence of Indebtedness. A Mortgage
Trust Bond of The New Jersey Title Guar
antee and Trust Company is an obligation to
pay a sum of money to the holder with inter
est at the rate of five per cent. The Com
pany sells these bonds at par and accrued in
terest and invests the money derived from
their sale il first mortgages in Hudson
County, which it holds in trust for the bond
holders. The holder of a Mortgage Trust
Bond has therefore the same security, and
more besides, for the return of his money
that he would AVE if he had the mortgage
in mis- possession.

Street and Water Board Changes.

So long as the Street and Water
Commissioners discharge unneces-
sary employees to effect economies in
the public service, and SO long as they
discharge incompetent or negligent
men to put in able and active ones,
general approval will follow their
acts. 1t does not matter whether the
discharged men are republicans or
democrats, it is Of equally little con-
sequence what the politics of their
successors may be, when the tax
payers pocket is spared or the public
work is better done. everyone must
cordially approve. But when changes
are made merely for partisan reasons,
the board is putting itself in a bad
light and does not deserve to be
spared. .f eFa 7ai
Among the changes made yesterday
was the substitution of Alexander
Dusenbery for William Heller as
Water Assessor. Without dwelling on
any objection that may be to the APP
pointment of Dusenbery,Jit is plain
that this is a mere partisan
change. There is not a word to- be
said about Mr.. Heller's administra-
ton of his office. His duty was
satisfactorily performed, and he was
well acquainted with tile Routine.
His removal had no objectsino the
world save that of providing d JOB for
a Republican worker. Several of the
other changes were of the same char
acter, and in more than II case, a
practical sinecure has been perpetu-
ated merely to give a republican a
place and a salary, Oh the whole,
the balance is still in favor OF the new
board. The majority of their acts
have been for the public good; but it
is a pity they should impair their
record by any Objectionable acts
whatever.
1t is saids1 that Chief En-
gineer Ruggles ais1sto :9,,l3et removed

Badness.

A statistical writer intimates that about
20 per cent Of the male population become
bald between the ages Of 25 and 85, and
that by another generation il will have in
creased to 90 per cent. Bowel and nervous
disorders have now been claimed to be at
the foundation of the whole trouble, and the
dyspeptic nation Is always bald nation.
The bald, shining cranium of the young or
middle aged man, then, is no longer indie
ative OF extensive knowledge and wis
dom, but rather Of a dyspeptic and prob
ably nervous, irritable nature. The hair
grows poor and seedy, the same as vegeta-
tion upon barren soil, and the only way
to check such loss Is to make complete
change In the working order of the stom-
ach. See that the dyspepsia is cured, and
that the stomach works properly. Then,
according to an English specialist, OBJ
serve these brief rules: Avoid tight fitting
hats, caps and collars. Never stand near a
gas or lamp light or artificial heat Of any
kind. Don't wet the head with water Of
tener than once week. Never use salt
water. Apply little olive oil occasionally
as wash and take to heart old DIR. God
frey's dictum, EVERY touch affecting so
delicate texture rs the scalp should be
soft and soothing, every application bland
and mild. An Old NJ. ID. in Good House
