\ WARNING AGAINST THE DEALER
 WHO SUBSTITUTES.

Some dealers will tell you when you ask for JAP-A-LAc: ''We don't handle advertised articles. They cost YOU more, because the consumer pays for the advertising.''
 sz= What silly statement to make to an in- telligent person. The fact is this: Any article of daily necessity, which is extensively adver- tised, must be the best, or the public will not buy it. What do you think about Ivory Soap, Sapolio and Uneeda Biscuit? Are they not the most extensively advertised of their class? So is JAP-A-LAc. Be sure you get it.

BODY ON BEACH.
Corpse Found Washed Up by Waves
That of a German.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 1S.-The
body of a nude man, apparently a
German, fifty-five years old, wearing
a thin gray beard, was picked up on
the beach just north of the Elberon
hotel, Sunday. The body, from gem
eral appearance, had been in the wat
er but two or three days.
The man wore a gold ring on the
third finger of the right hand. There
were no marks on the body.
Coroner William e. Mcdonald, of
Bradley Beach, gave Funeral Direct
ors Hyer & Flock a permit to remove
the body to their Broadway morgue.
The body was that of a man about
five feet eight inches in height, who
had been well kept during his life
time
The general impression is that the
man committed suicide. He could
not have been a bather or he would
have been clothed in a bathing suit.
The body will be kept a day or two,
and then if not identified will be in-
TERED in the potter's field.

PAVEMENT FINISHED,
State Street Improvement North of
L. v. Bridges at Last Ready.

After nearly a year of delays upper
State street has at last been paved
with brick. The work was started
early last summer by the contractors,
B. f. Sweetn & Son, Camden. At that
time, the work was rushed in every
way, and it was thought that a quick
job would be the result, but bad wea-
Their, trouble in obtaining material,
difficulties with employees and numer-
Gus other troubles all helped to re-
tard the work. The street is now en-
tirely finished, all the refuse has been
cleared away, sidewalks have been
relaid, and on the whole everything
is complete from the Lehigh Valley
bridges to the property of Joseph Ga
dek. The new pavement presents q
fine appearance, and is now consider
ed by many to be one of the finest
streets in the city.
John N. st. John was the city's in.
spector on the work, and did all in
his power to hurry the work.
Men from the street department
are now at work between Gadek's
and Maurer, leveling the sidewalk.

Judgment has been given by the jury
in the suit of contractor Iver G: Os-
tergaard against the Greek Catholic
church, of Perth Amboy, for ST.
462 70. He sued for $1,616.57, this
being the balance due on the contract

the work had not been completed and
that they were entitled to allowances
amounting to $1,000. Lawyer Strick-
er for the defendants in summing up
declared to the jury that the plain
tiff was trying to put it up the back

tack and said it was entirely uncalled
for.
