HEALTH BETTER THAN WEALTH.
And You Can't Retain the Former and Give
Exercise the Go BY.

Exercise the Go BY.
DIR. A. Symons Eccles has struck the
keynote of radical improvement in the
general health of city communities
when he says that the most potent fac
tor Of present day ailments is the abey-
ance into which the muscular system is
allowed to fall by jewellers in cities,
who are daily becoming more and more
dependent on artificial means of loco
motion and labor saving apparatus, I'M
Ill disorders of digestion and nervous
maladica are now as common among
the comparatively poor as they are
among the wealthy. The rich man en-
deavors to overcome the mischief
wrought by his sedentary life by horse
back exercise or golf, but the poorer
man, who is unable to afford these recre-
atoms, neglects his muscular develop
ment and invariably tumbles into his
train or mounts his street car rather
than waste the time necessary for
brisk walk or half hour in the gym
nasium.
The popularity of the bicycle has
tended to counterfeit the disuse of mus
Giles engendered in large proportion Of
town residents, but there are still num-
bers of persons of both sexes who re-
quire vigorous muscular exercise in or
der to maintain health. Women are
the victims of modern, social and COM
mercial changes almost if not quite as
much as men, The Capitalization of
many domestic industries may have i'm
- ~ fI,n
thrs manufactured or Of the work per-
formed, but when bread was made and
washing was done at home the female
members OF many families fairly well
off, but not too richly endowed with
this worlds goods, were proitably en-
ployed in kneading the dough and iron
ing the linen One Of the results of
this general disinclination to take the
amount of exercise essential to health
is the revival OF practice which is re-
corded in the earliest medical papyrus
in the British museum.
The introduction OF massage may be
regarded as specific evidence of the ten
dency in these latter days to the neglect
of muscular exercise, and DR.. Eccles
holds that if it be true that the abey-
ance of function in certain glands is
productive of diseases which can be
cured by the injection of organic llq-
uids derived from similar source
and modern research has established this
belief-much more is it evidently true
that the failure to employ the great bulk
of muscular tissue, which is SO large
portion of the human frame, will, and
invariably does, give rise to disordered
function and altered structure in the
other organs and tissues of the body,
which are interdependent on the activ-
ity of the muscles and each other. Men
tai and nervous overstrain is rarely
disassociated from muscular disuse and
fiaccidity. The burden of DR.. Eccles'
exhortation is: Even if you make
little less money, take more exercise.
You will save the difference in DOCTORS
bills and bring more happiness not only
into your own life, but into other peo-

The Tax Board Asks Brill Brother
to settle Assessment ON the Cleri

The Tax Board Asks Brill Brothers
to settle Assessment ON the Cleri-
heW Stock.
The Tax Commissioners for the last two or
three days have been very much interested
in the sale of Clerihew's stock of clothing by
Brill Bros, the enterprising clothiers of
Cortlandt Street. New York City. 1t wasn't
because they contemplated making any pur-
chases. out a simple desire to know whether
or not Mrs. G.. w. Clerthew had paid the as
sessment for the current year on the cloth
ing stock. which was valued at $4,000. If
Mrs. Clerihew had done so, whyHall right,
but it not, then it was time to make an Of
fort to collect the 1920 tax.
i On looking through the big tax books the
wide-awake Commissioners found that no
PAYMENT had been made. Then they over
hauled the law haoks and asked the Corpora
tiou Attorney what he thought of IL. Elk
Judge Blair thought that it would be better
to collect the tax. There was no disposition
to include Messrs. Brill Bros, in the lnyldlous
category of eay by night birds" bit still it
would be better to comply with the terms OF
fine law which was specially framed for out
side merchants coming into the CITY TO sell
stock. .
The Commissioners were rather puzzled al
first TO know what to do because the stock
when assessed was on one side of Newark
| avenue, whereas it is now being sold directly
opposite. They solved this on the principle
that d tax on personal goods isn't stationary
latax. Hence Deputy Tax Collector Brew1s
Twas given a bill for 1920 to collect, and he
went to the store this morning.
Until four P. M. this afternoon Messrs'
Brill Bros. are given time to reflect and pay
up, OF else.

DEFECTIVE PAVEMENT.
Director Bruggemann and Clerk
Boyd Make Some Discover
les on the New Boule-
ward.

An inspection of the County Boulevard,
south of Newark avenue, was made by Di-
rector %Bruggenlann and Clerk Boyd of the
Board of Freeholders yesterday and they
found that some of the work was not being
done according to the specifications in the
contract,
The first important point examined was
the work being done for the foundation for
the abutments of the iron bridge which is to
cross the Pennsylvania Railroad cut about
one hundred yards west of Summit avenue.
Contractor Curley is pushing this work
rapidly and in doing SO he struck an unex-
pected bonanza. The excavation of rock
bottom has given him about 1000 loads of
first qnality building sand, which is worth
81 a load. Curley never suspected that he
would make this find and therefore he will
realize $4,000 clear profit on the sand.
FAvORABLY IMPRESSED.
The Director was very favorably I'M
pressed with the work that has been done by
the Hudson Contracting Company, and both
he and Clerk Boyd said no fault could be
found with it. This company Is now clean
ing up the sidewalks of the first section pre-
paratory to completing the contract.

Mckinney had not followed specifications by
removing a sufficient quantity of the clay
bottom and filling up with sand so that a
proper bottom to the road could be made.
Ihb steam roller when it now passes over
the telford pavement at this place causes the
clay to ooze through the interstices of the
stones. The Director fears that if the road
here is permitted to remain i'll this condition
the clay will ooze through the macadam
when it is spread. He viii direct Engineer
E. w. Harrison today to have the telford
taken up at this point and a sand founda-
ton for it laid.
NUISANCE DISCOVERED.
The Engineer will be requested to stop a
nuisance also. Several places along the
Boulevard were found where some persons
had bored holes through the curbstones and
had laid drain pipes to them so as to drain
on the Boulevard. If this should be permit
ted to continue, the drainage would destroy
the Boulevard.
Director Bruggemann was also greatly
dissatisfied with the manner in which the
Shark River gravel had been laid between
the Newark and New York Railroad and
Newark avenue. He says the grading has
not been properly don't and that the earth
had not been dag away sufficiently where
the gravel had been laid.
Chief Engineer Harrison will attend the
committee meetings of the board today and
he will be directed to have all of the evils
mentioned here. removed or renedied.

considers that Brooklyn is fast reach
ing the stage where rapid communlca-

comes the turn of New Jersey. Mr..
Bailey is right, so far as he goes, but he
does not seem to see that in almost
every respect we have the advantage
over Brooklyn. Our Hill section and
Greenville surpass anything in Brooklyn
in beauty and equal it in health. We
have better accommodations both for
and industries. Only some
strange accident ever directed the tide
of population to Long Island instead of
to our shores.

and last night paid MIR. Nadolsky a visit
which ended in bringing him. to police head
quarters.
When Justice Potts this morning asked
him why he sold liquors without taking out
his license, Nadolsky replied in fairly good
English that Captain Farrier had told aim
he could do that and that he must keep it
quiet. He was fined $50 for violating the
ordinance. The Police Board will investi-

Farrier.

Hansen were examined.
1t was brought out that when the bark
struck Sable Island the captain thought he
was twenty-five miles off. he boatswain
was in the habit of taking charge of the
ship like any officer, but he had no ceItihcate
and did not understand navigation. The
vessel was a 1000 ton ship, required by law
to carry a second mate, but she had only the
captain and one mate.
Mate Hansen testified that he had no chart

PLENTY OF JERSEY PEACHES.
The Fruit This Year More Plenty

Special to the jersey City News.
BENNINGTON, Aug. Is, 1S94.--This is the
| season when the eyes of all who love round,
rosy, juicy peaches and are interested III
them through their pocketbook or palate are
| turned expectantly toward theGNew Jersey
peach belt, of which Pennington is the
| centre. They grow peaches such as are
grown in other parts of the world, but it is
| from the extensive orchards of Hunterdon,
| Essex, Somerset and Warren counties tnat
| come the luscious varieties.
The reports this year as to what might be
expected from the peach growing section
! are rather conflicting. Early in the spring
1t was predicted that the buds were so far
| advanced that they were greatly damaged
| by the frosts. Later on it was announced
| that the locusts had stung the buds, ana IN
| some instances Speeches were hurt by the
'.tormeutors' and that the twigs laden with
fruit had dropped off. A few days ago IL
was announced that hail had played havoc
with the fruit in many orchards. There are
thousands of dollars invested in peach cul-
ture, and it is not only important to those
| who eat the fruit but to the business part OF
the world thai the crop be not a failure.
Acareful inquiry among the largest grow
ers who ship fruit from the towns OF WASH
ipgton, Somerville, High Bridge, New Ger
mantown, Bound Brook, White House and
| Blairstown show tina there have been some
great Yields. but this year the crop is phe-
| nomenal and surpasses the most sangulne
estimates of the enthusiasts who early pre-
dicted a fine yield. The fruit this season is.
the finest shipped from this section in years.
The hail storm which prevailed in the east
ern part of Somerset county did some dam
age to growing corn. but very little TO the
| peach section.
Peach trains are now running on the Cen
trail and Lehigh Valley Railroads, and some
choice fruit is being sent to market. Inc
fruit shipped some time ago was of inferior
quality but brought big prices. Shipments
now are of peaches of fair size and good
flavor. One of the most successful peach
growers in this county says there wall be
nearly a million baskets and never so fair
and fine in flavor. There are six exchanges
Pennington, Pittstown, Jutland, White
House, Clinton aud Anadale. Most of the
peaches are sold at the exchanges and then
consigned to Philadelphia, New York, Bos-
ton and Buffalo.
