CENTRAL AMERICAN STAMPS
Bright Colors and Pretty Engravirgs
Have Made Them Popular
with Collectors.

The stamps of Central American re-
publics have always been favorites with
young collectors, DECLARES st. Nicholas.
The bright eolors and finely engraved
specimens have MADE the pages CT al
buns appear very attractive. The sets
of stamps issued by some of these coun-
tries have been quite numerous, so that
there has been little difficulty in sc"
curing a representative collection of the
various issues. Such countries as.
Salvador have furnished also a large.
aumber of provisional stamps made by
the use of different surcharges. The
regular issues have been printed in many
instances in the United States, while the
PROFESSIONALS have been manufactured or
a printing press in the country where the
stamps have been issued. 1t thus hap
pens that some of these stamps are not
discovered by those making notes Of new
issues for the stamp papers, and they
therefore, may not be found listed in tho
catalogues. Collectors. who have oppor-
tunities to secure large numbers CT Cen
trail American stamps are fortunate, as
they frequently succeed in finding new
and scarce varieties.

DO NOT ALTER A NJ
Advice Which Is Valuable to the Col
leetor-Custom of Erasing
. Out OF Date.

No change or alteration of any sort
should be made by a collector in his
stamps, advises st. Nicholas. 1t was q
custom some years ago among col
lectors to erase cancellation marlis
from their stamps, N ordet to make
their stamps better. The effecs OF the
attempt was. not all that could be de-
sired. The erlsufes were not perfect,
and the stamps in the charged con-
dition, being neither Cancelled nor I'M
Cancelled, were simply Inferior dam
aged specimens. One of the most COM
mon ways of altering stamps at the
present time il to erase The word
specimen" from a stamp having this
o~verprint 1t cannot be done, SO that
1t will not be detected, and the stamp
in the altered condition is worthless.
while al a ''speci-.en" it had some
value. 1t has frequently happened
that stamps, valuable in their original
condition, have been made worthless
by attempts to increase their value b.
alteration.

ISPRA|SED.
The Petition 10 Abolish the Board
Of Freeh0idefs Gives Newark
News Its Opportunity.
WAS QUIETLY DONE.

Commenting on the petition in this
county asking for a vote on the ques-
ton of abolishing the Board of Free
holders, tile Newark Evening News
Of Saturday, says:
Passaic County will not be the only
one that will vote next November On
the question of abolishing the old
Board sof Chosen Freenoldcrs and
substituting therefor a county COM
mission Of three or four members.
Mfddlesex County citizens and t ak.
payers have determined to make an
other effort to rid themselves Of the
cumbersome, unsatisfactory and in
competent, If no actually dishonest
and sdishonornble freeholder system
and have already circulated petitions
and obtained enough signatures to
insure the referendum.
This is unexpected, and there is
something significantly suggestive in
the quiet manner in which the neces-
sary petitions were circulatei and the
signatures obtained. There was no
blare Of trumpets, no declaration in
advance, no mass meeting, no general
agitation. no Excitement. The news
papers, with one or two exceptions,
said little or nothing about the ciu-
zens movement, probably because
they either realized the advantage Of
quiet campaigning or were not in.
formed on the subject. Representa-
tive men in all parts of the county
took hold of the matter, signed and
circulated the petitions and before
the enemy were aware of the extent
OF the movement 1.040 signatures had
been secured, 200 more than the law
required, and the petition was filed
with the county clerk. And still the
good work goes on, for signatures are
still being received, the taxpayers
seeming anxious to place themselves
on record in this matter. 81
As might have been expected, the
Hunterdon County example, as re-
Gently set forth in these columns, is
ejng lscd with splendid effect in
Middlesex. When tile vote was taken
on this same question two years aRo
the Middlesex County citizens did not
understand it, and the freeholders and
their friends took good care that the
pr obable effects of the new law were
not set forth in alluriug %colors; but
now that Hunterdon County has mnde
the experimental a saving of $42,0 0C
in a single year, the Middlasex Coun.
ty people have something tangible &c
guide them.
It will be marvellous II, with the
HunteTdon example before them and
the experiences Of the past two years
exoIting their just indignation against
the costly and corrupt freeholder sys-
tenn, the voters of Passaic and Middle
sex fail to avail themselves Of the op-
p%ortunity afforded them. They will
have a severe fight beyond q doubt,
for the freeholders system dies hard,
md those who profit by it are fight
Of skill and audacity; but the Tux.
yArs in each county will long re.
greet It if they do not now make a
clean sweep of the old government
and install q new n in its stead.

First Appearance OF nndru a F0res

That such is the case has been con-

Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares hat dandruff is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp. caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes ~lifeless,
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
Newbro's Herpicide kills this dandruff
germ, and restores the hair to its natural
softness and a%bundancy.
