JERSEY CITY BARRIERS MUST
NOT EAT ONIONS
Their Hands Must Be Well Manicured,
but They Nav Still Talk.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Chief of
Police Murphy, of Jersey City, notified
each of the 1926 BARRIERS in that city
yesterday that hereafter any barber
who breathes onion or garlic-laden
breath in the face of a customer will
be arrested and fined.
This is but one of eighteen rules
contained in a new ordinance of the
board of health regulating the conduct
of barber shops, copies of which were
served on the BARRIERS yesterday. Vio-
lation of any of the rules is punish
able by fine of $40.
The BARRIERS declare that if they
comply with the rules it will take an
hour to shave man, and then the
barber would have to shave with his
back toward his customer.
The rules require that mugs and
shaving brushes shall be sterilized by
immersion in boiling water or a per
cent formalin solution for at least five
minutes after each separate use.
"RaZors must be wiped with 50 per
cent alcohol before and after being
used" Hair brushes must also be ster-
iliZed after use. BARRIERS are forbidden
to breathe on their razor straps, and
may not wipe them off with their
hands. Powder puffs and sponges are
tabooed.
The ordinance regulates the cutting
of the BARRIERS finger nails and COM
pels him to wash his hands after serv-
ing each customer.

one road to another would make no
difference in the situation, as the cause
or the Strlngency was the ElkinS law
which affects all railroads alike. and
Which, by its terms, prohibits any road
from granting concessions to shippers
in the cost of transportation as an in
ducement to patronage. Many of the
roads, he explained, would be glad to
continue the former practice if the law
did not forbid
Law Has Taken Effect.
This law, which places many new
structures upon the railroads in the
management of traffic affairs, went in
to effect yesterday, and already has
caused considerable of a shaking up,
and for a time at least the freight
agents will have their troubles magni-
fed to the maximum.
Among those versed in the science
of railroad affairs the new law is rec
ognized as a measure that in it's oper-
alton Will work to the interest of the
larger and stronger roads and CORE
spondlngly to the disadvantage of the
weaker lines.
The law requires the publication of
tariffs and absolute adherence to those
tariffs under all circumstances, and
roads which have been accustomed to
induce patronage by concessions in
sales or other favors, will now be pre-
vented from employing such methods
and compelled to stand upon their own
merits alone.
There is broad scope for speculation
as to just how seriously this new con-
d1t1on Will affect some of the roads. and
just how much difference it will make
to shippers in the annual cost of their
freight business

SPORTSMEN SORE
AT THE GRAND JURY
Disappointed at Failure to lndict AL
legged VioIators of Game Laws.

Sportsmen of this city and other
portions of the state are highly in
censed at the failure of the grand Jury
to find indictments in cases brought
under the state game laws. This mat
ter has been quite extensively discuss
ed among those who are interested in
the preservation of game in this state
and measures will be taken to find
some other way to bring the violators
of the laws to justice. meeting OF
the local. sportsmen will be held in
the near future.
Fred Schiffman said to T he Globe
last night:
Lets find out where we are at.
What is the use of the state and the
taxpayers going to the heavy expense
of maintaining a game and fish COM
mission and other institutions for
game protection if offenders against
the law, when they are apprehended,
are not to be punished?
The man who kills game illegally.
or deals in game out of season, is on
the same plane as a smuggler or coun-

pay, a heavy penalty, but if he gets
away with it, he will reap a heavy
profit

Elkins Law, Which Prohibits
Any Road From Granting

Freight Customers, Goes
Into Effect and Causes a
General Shaking Up.

What! not even transportation for
myself to Chicago?" inquired the
wholesale merchant yesterday in To-
cal railroad office.
He had just been told by the agent
that there was nothing doing in the
'"pass department. any more.
Why" he continued, ''even in the
tightest times 1 have never been re-
fused favor of that kind for myself
before, and hereafter / shall see that
my business goes to roads that are
not so chary about granting favors'"
The man was a member OF a firm
that is counted of great Importance in
the mercantile world of ST. Paul, be-
cause of it's large volume of business.
and his surprise was natural from the
fact that for many years the railroads
not only in st. Paul, but in all other
cities have made it a practice to eX-
tend favors in transportation to their
larger shippers, until this feature of
traffic negotiations has grown to con-
siderable magnitude, and has been
handled in a systematic manner.

BETTER A LABORER
THAN COLLEGE FAILURE
Boys and Girls United for Higher
Education Should Eschew 1t.

BOSTON, Mass, March 6-Prof.
Marshall l.. Perrin, of Boston univer-
sity, gave a sensational talk to his
class on the subject of unfortunately
sending boys and girls to college.
According to the noted educator, a
great mistake is made by those parents
who, knowing that their children lack
brains, still think that they can have
them trained to lives of usefulness by
packing them off to a university. DIR.
Perrin declared that careful Judgment
should be used in choosing between
practical instruction and higher edu-
cation. Among other things he said:
Many boy would do better to stick
to the blacksmith shop and many a
girl in the millinery trade. Too many
feel that going to college is going to re-
deem their lives. 1t sometimes ruins
them. Some people are no good in
college, but all right in other lines. 1t
is much better to be a successful la
borer than a tenth rate minister, a
fifteenth rate lawyer or a petty school
marin.
Germany is suffering from an over
stock of the educated. Students there
attend the gymnasium to escape one
years service in the army. Do the
boys go back to the farm and shop aft
er year in the gymnasium? No. They
are sent to the university, graduate
and have nothing to do. Fifty per cent
of them go to the bad.
I'm America there is plenty of room
at the top. 1t is an individual ques-
ton with all of you. Remember you
can't shovel snow with pin. 1t is
wicked and criminal to teach a gram
mar school boy algebra and Latin. The
one is only trick to higher mathe-
MATES, the other is not valuable till
you have studied it a few years.
Take study for itself Don't go to
college and sink. Don't go into a pro-
fession and lose your self-respect,
which is the saddest thing of ALL.

WHtSkYsVS. COFFEE.
A Woman Experiments.

Some families have sad experiences
with whisky. Probably twice as many
families have sickness and distress
caused by coffee and the cause not sus-
pected half the time.
A woman from Tacoma, Wash, says:
"Ona of our family had become so Ill
that the doctor finally pronounced him
Incurable from enlarged liver He rec
commended sea voyage, which might
prolong his life, but said it was only
question of time when he would die
from the disease
He was dreadfully nervous thin,
could not sleep at night, lost flesh and
strength daily and everything he ate or
drank Soured on his stomach. He was
so weak and faint he could hardly walk
about
Il finally came to the conclusion that
coffee made the mischief, so took coffee
away from him altogether and next
morning gave him Postum Food Coffee.
He steadily began to get better and has
never mad sour stomach from that
Time. He now sleeps all night where
he used to suffer the agonies of death.
he has gained over twenty pounds and
Is we'll and strong.
My little boy was given coffee at an
early age and he began to have spells
OF sickness at times. did not suspect
the trouble until my experience with
Ofo1o OpSLCu lily eyes, lnen L look
coffee away from him and gave him
Postum steadily. If you should see
him now and see how we'll and strong
he is you would not believe it was the
same puny boy he was when he was
drinking coffee.
An acquaintance of ours carried
Postum with him to the gold fields of
Alaska. He says he met some men up
there who had run out of Postum and
could not drink coffee. They offered
him as high as twenty dollars a pound
for the Postum. He said it was wofth
forty dollars pound to him, for it
gave him strength to endure the hard
ships and that he would not part with
II at any priceauntil he could get more.
NOW about my own case. l was a
SICK, nervous woman and did. not sus-
pect it was coffee, but from the ex-
perience [ had gained about two years
ago | quit coffee and took up Postum
Food Coffee. My appetite improved. I
can eat anything, have no indigestion
ana have gained about forty pounds in
the two years.
Il know of man whose eyes were
so AFFECTED by coffee drinking that he
was going blind. The doctor suspected
coffee to be the trouble and ordered
MIN to quit and take on Postum Food
Coffee. The change produced a great
change IN his eyes. He gradually got
better and has now left off his glasses
altogether. He would have been stone
blind if he had not quit coffee and

paid to the people who buy this preferred
stock AS the the business has not for
twenty-three years failed to pay at least
z per cent on its entire capitalization,
holders of this preferred stock are abso-
lutely sure to get their Z per cent dfvi-
dends.
Many people want to know why so
large and prosperous a concern as this

planned in the prospectus, but 1t is prop
er to state some of them here.
This business was founded and built
up TO the proud position of the largest
concern of its kind in the world by the
genius and untiring efforts of its head.

young man. would need much assistance
to carry on and enlarge a business like
this, and much capital, much energy and
earnest efforts Of many people are needed.
A corporation never dies. Hence this
business has been Incorporated.
The present purpose is TO get the pub
lie TO become an interested part of the

TROUBLE BETWEEN
CHICAGO LINES
IMMINENT
Milwaukee Will Materially
Cut Down Running Time
Between st. Paul and Chi
cage and Other Roads Ex-
pected to Take Retaliatory
Action.

Although no formal announcement of
the TACT has yet been made, it is gen.
orally understood in railroad circles
that the Milwaukee will, beginning to-
morrow, make most important
change in its time schedule between
this city and Chicago, and as a con-
sequence general shake-up among
the Chicago roads is anticipated.
The plan as 1t is now understood is
TO cut an hour and a half from the
running time of the evening train now
leaving this city at o'clock and ar
irving at Chicago at a. M; and here
AFTER the train will depart from ST.
Faul at $50 p. M. and arrive in Chi
cdgo at the same hour as formerly.
The direct result of this change will
be to establish Chicago connections
Tor Duluth trains and a number of 9TH
ers that reach this city between 6 and
~ p. M, and the train will be the
fastest between this city and Chica-
go.
In making this change the Milwaukee,
is departing from a sort of tacit agree
'ment which has obtained among the
Cnlcago roads, whereby an inside limit
OF twelve hours and fifty-five minutes
was fixed by common consent for the
running time between this city and
Chicago.
The prediction is freely made that
the action of the Milwaukee in put
tlng TINS time schedule into operation
VIII be the signal for retaliatory ac-
uon on the part of the other Chicago
Iodus' Wnlch may extend to general
cutting of rates, as has been thTea fem
ed when the Milwaukee or one of the
other roads has previously planned a
reduction of the running time between
st. Paul and Chicago.

daily. The Cleveland Vapor Lighting
company, which is under Contract VIII

has men at work in the Seventh ward
installing them and hopes to have ev-
cry lamp in the city equipped soon.
This was what it informed the MEM
hers of the board of public works and
they say the work is being done. The
signs are being put up in the north end
OF the ward. Nearly 10000 of the glass
signs are necessary to complete the
contract.
