rot worn out 2

Are you worn out
Tired and completely run DOWN. 3
You have no vitality, no energy.
You are nervous, weak, fretful and cry
easily.
For just such cases as yours Hin-
Tone has been prepared.
1t overcomes that tired, weak feeling
and puts new energy into body end
mind.
Do not be skeptica1 and refuse to
believe what eminent physicians pro-
nounce to be a fact.
Doctors who have made a deep
study of this subject, have, after much
patience, experimenting and expense,
succeeded in compromising I'm Tone.
And having been convinced of its won
derful strengthening power, they now
send it out into the world to do it's
work among poor weary human beings.
We are glad to be able to print the
good news that a remedy has at last
been discovered which takes right hold
of any WORKOUT system and builds a
foundation to health and happiness.
To the nursing mother this will
come like a God-send.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1908.

In the last census the increase of
population in Perth Amboy was ex-
ceeded by but few places. one was
Atlantic City. The rate at which
that resort has stopped into the front
ranks has seldom been equaled. While
Perth Amboy boasts of her Revolu-
tionary history, the site upon which
Atlantic City is built was q mere sand
heap twenty-five years ago. To say
the growth of the place as been mar
velous is putting it mildly. AS an
other step in advance, Atlantic City
will on January first, convert her fire
department, consisting of seven en-.
gines and two hook and ladders, from
a volunteer to a paid system. The
new department will be controlled by
three commissioners who will receive
a salary of $500 each, the chief engi-
neer will receive SO, 900 and the two
assistants, 81, 200 each. The cost of
bnying the property and equipment Of
the volunteers is 500, 600. We on
graduate our sister city on the coast
upon her wonderful progress. Both
Atlantic City and Perth Amboy have
grown in the last few years, the n
a place of pleasure and the other a
place of work. Wages are earned here
and are spent there. There is reason
for the growth of both cities.

EVOLUTION OF THE RAILROAD.
United Stntcs Now Has 205 900 Miles
of Lines ns Compared with
Europc's $50 1000 Miles.

There are single rails go feet long
and 100 pounds to the Yard on the rail-
roads of to-day as heavy as Peter Coop
e.'s old-time locomotive. says Leslie'r
Weekly. Before the civil var q train
load Of 200 tons was considered great.
Now some freight engines haul loads
OF $500 tons. The first locomotives
used in the United States had to BE-
obtained from England. To-day Unit
ed States locomotives are found on the
railways OF Europe, Asia, Africa and
the Islands of the sea. One concern IN
Philadelphia. the Baldwin works, has
made over 10000 locomotives since It
was founded. 1t will turn out in 1903
half a dozen every working day, or l 800
in all.
When the United States. 20 years ago.
began to follow In England's lead in the
adoption of the railway nobody sup
posed we could catch up with that
country. Between 1880 and 1890 the
United States built 10000 miles Of rail-
way more than England, France and
Germany had constructed in 80 years.
To-day there are 205 900 miles Of rail-
way In the United States, as compared
with 1S0. 900 In the whole of Europe. and
England Is not the leading country in
Europe either In the number of miles
of road.

FORGOT FOR Il MOMENT.
Automobile Wouldn't stop Whcn the
Driver Told 1t To-Cost
Him $500.

The horsemen of Rochester who have
not yet surrendered to the automobiles
wiles are laughing heartily at the mis-
hap which overlook one of their runl-
Der whose affection for the equine fly
ers did not prove so adamantine, says
the New York Tribune.
He purchased an expensive electric
r%unabout, and. although an arden:
horseman, became much interested in
manipulating his new toy.
1t took him several days to get over
that gone feeling which attacked him
whenever he looked over the dashboard
and saw only the road in front. but he
hoped in time to forget the absence Of
the accustomed horse. 1t was this for
%getfulness which caused the trouble.
He took a pleasant little spin one night
last week and returned along the familiar
roads. The automobile ran with
smoothness and his mind was I'M
troubled.
He swung up the wagon road, saw the
barn doors wide open, and, with the ma
chine at the third power" rolled swift
ly over the threshold. As the wheels
touched the floor he tossed his hands off
the steering bar and shouted in his old
time voice:
"Whoa!"
When he dared to look, he found that
the machine had bucked it's way through
a thin partition between the carriage
floor and the stalls, and was trying to
eat hay out of a feedbox. His friends
declare that his second of forgetfulness
