TO KEEP THE PLATFORM CLEAR

Manager Young, of the North Jersey
Street Railway Co., this morning issued
an order to the effect that the old rule
prohibiting any passengers from riding on
the front platform of the company's cars
shah be rigidly enforced. No one but
the motorman is allowed thereon. The
Company has been lax in enforcing the
rule and infringements on it have been
general. A number of accidents to pas
senger riding on the front platforms had
led to the REINFORCEMENT of the old rule.

TO DISCUSS ROADS.
Committee of fthe:Board OF Freehord-
ers to Meet Tomorrow.


A meeting of the road committee of
he Board of Freeholders will be held to-
morrow afternoon when the project for
the Improvement of Schuyler, Midland
and North Midland avenues, Kearney,
as connecting link between the Belle
vile Turnpike and Passaic River Roads
in the same town, will be considered.
Plans for the macadamizing of the
Belleville Turnpike have been adopted
by the Board and are now in the hands
Of State Road Commissioner Budd, and
the idea now is to improve the other sec
tions of road named under the same act
during the coming year.
If this is done it will add Az miles
of good roads to the county's boulevard
system, and will practically furnish the
branch boulevard to connect West Hud-
son with the main boulevard which the
people of that section have long been
anxious for.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, EfRectua1 and Convenient
Cure For Catarrh.

Of Catarrh remedies. there is no end
but of catarrh cures, there has always
been great scarcity. There are many
remedies to relieve, but very few that
really cure.
The old practice of snufing salt water
through the nose would often relieve,
and the washes, douches, powders and
enhalers in common use are very little,
if any, better than the old fashioned
salt water douche.
The use of inhalers and the applica-
ton of salyes, washes and powders to
the nose and throat to cure catarrh is
no more reasonable than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease Catarrh is just
as much blood disease as kidney troub-
lie or rheumatism and itscan not be cur
ed by local treatment any more than
they can be.
To cure catarrh whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the ca
tarrhal poison out Of the blood and sys-
tenn, and the new catarrh cure is de
signed on this plan and the remarkable
success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
because being used internally, it drives
out catarrhal infection through action
upon stomach, liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman of st. Joseph, re-
lates an experience with catarrh which
ers everywhere. He says: II neglected
a slight nasal catarrh until it gradually
extended to my throat and bronchial
tubes and finally even my stomach and
liver became affected, but as / was able
to keep up and do a days work let it
run along until my hearing began to fail
me and then realized that I must get
rid of catarrh or lose my position as
was clerk and my hearing was absolute
" necessary.
Some Of my friends recommended an
inhaler, another a catarrh salve but they
were no good in my case, nor was any
thing else until heard of Stuart's Cat
Sarrh Tablets and bought package at
my drug store. They benefited me from
the start and in less than four months
though I had suffered nearly all my life
from it.
They are pleasant TO take and 50 much
more convenient to use than other cat
enough in favor Of stuart's Catarrh
Tablets"
