PhyaicInns Give Free Advice by Which

It's A matter of general interest just now how one's physical condition can be got into shape to best receive the benefits of the summer season. Espe- ciaIly is this true of the children. Ihey have become run down by a winter or unnatural manner of living because or ilI-considered food and much time spent Indoors. Spring comes with it's sun shine, it's fresh vegetables and all else invIgorating, but the children are in no condition to receive natures remedies'
 Many parents call in the family phy- sician. Many other parents take ad- vantage of what the physician told them when he was first called in com sultation. All good family physicians sav: 'Give the children Castoria." !" Healthy parents know this remedy of old, for they took 1t themselves as children. It was more than thirty years ago that CastoFia made a place for itself in the household. It bore the signature of Charles H. Fletcher then as 1t does today. The signature IS it's guarantee, which is accepted In thous- ands of homes where there are chill dren.
 Much is printed nowadays about big families. Dr. william J. McCrann of Omaha, Ncb., Is the father of one of these much-read- about families. Here IS what he says:
 iNAS the IAEneT ol LulElVSh Nh'iuiSh certainly know something about your great medicine and aside from my own family experience, have. in my years of practice. found Castoria "a popular and efficient remedy in almost every
 Charles F. Fletcher has received Hundreds of letters from prominent physicians who have the same esteem for Castoria that Dr. McCrann has. Not only do these physicians say they use Castoria in their own families, but they prescribe it for their patients. First of all it is a vegetable preparation which assimilates the food and regulates the stomach and bowels, After eating comes sleeping. and Castoria looks out for that, too. It allays feverishness and prevents loss of slesp. and this ahsc- 1 Iutely without the use Of opium. mor- phine or other baneful narcotic.

THE EXCISE BOARD.

Another new liquor license has
been granted by the present republi-
can excise board, one of whose mem-
bers is a candidate for reelection. A
correspondent inI Saturdays NEWS
called attention 10 the continual in
crease in beer signs throughout the
city and there seepssto be no end. 1t
seems as IL the present board, not
satisfied with it's record, is actually
defying the people, granting new Ii
censes on the eve tof an election as #
saying. what are you going to do
about it?"
1t Is for the voters of this city to
show by their ballots tomorrow
whether they approve or disapproye
the present excise board. BY renom-
mating one of the present members,
the republicans show that they ap-
prove the course this board has taken.
1t is for the l~aw-abiding citizens, who
have some pride in their city, to show
that they do not approve of the pres
ent boards methods. The republican
excise board should be defeated to-
morrow and defeated in such a man
ner that the republican party will
know that the people are disguised
with the present methods.

has praised the piece of property, but
there is one great hindrance-the
title.
Thus far 1t has been impossible TO

the Ramsay heirs keep control. Cap
ital refuses to invest on "a site so in

tablish a shipyard of real consequence

title puzzle too much for him. This
is greatly to be regretted. Perth
Amboy needs a big shipyard and the

Great Problems Of Today
lating on his prospects.

By JOSEPH {. CANNON. Speaker of he National House of Representatives
7 v TTENTION recently has been riveted upon abuses in the
- transportation of the products of our farms, mines and fac
- tories. In spite of all that has been said, it isstrue that they
are transported at half or LESS THANH HALE the
charge demanded by carriers elsewhere in the world.
5s Perhaps the most serious complaints grow out of PREFEREN-
TIAL freight rates allowed by the transportation companies to GER
tain favored shippers, not because the companies desired, to give
them, but because great shippers DEMANDED SUCH CON-
CESSIONS as a condition precedent to ,their patronage, and went
elsewhere if their demands were refused. In my Judgment most, if
not all. the ills complained of and which we are seeking toremedy had
their initiative in the practice of allowing dscriminatonsi lin favor of
certain shippers.
ALL POLICIES, AND MAY SAY ALL LEGISLATION AS WELL,
THAT MAKE FISH OF ONE AND FOWL OF ANOTHER ARE uN-
AMERICAN AND DESTRUCTIVE.
But the people of the United States, competent for self govern
ment and NEVER so COMPETENT AS NOW, have always
met with courage problems as they arise, and, guided by wisdom, pa
tience and patriotism, have solved them. The problems confronting us
today are BY NO MEANS THE MOST TRYING and difficult
ones ever presented to the American people for solution. The achieve
ment of our independence, the formation Of the constitution, the aboi-
ton of servile labor, the preservation of the Union, the keeping OF the
public faith have all involved questions MORE DIFFICULT OF
SOLUTION THAN THOSE WE FACE TODAY. T. t3.ssS e. III

question to be solved is bossism.
AT the present time nothing can be
done in this county without first OBJ
taining the consent of Theodore
Strong, of New Brunswick. He is in
absolute control, not even the Car of
Russia rules his subjects as this self
appointed dictator controls the pat
ronage of Middlesex county. Under
the present system not a mar can be
nominated for office on the republican
ticket without Theodore Strong first
gives his consent.

that this ring" cannot control. This
will cut off its power.
The democrats have been out of
office so long that they have no boss,
no machine nor anything else.
There is no denying that when the re-
publicans were put in control of the
state, thirteen years ago, the demo-
Gratis were as bad as the republicans
are now and ii is possible that after
a few years of continuation in power
the democrats will build up a system
which it will be the duty of the peo-
pie to crush, but the work before us
tomorrow is to wipe out the ring
now in the saddle. To do this vote
for the democratic candidates to the

THE TWO QUESTIONS.

AS a gentle reminder to the voters,
do not forget the two questions on
the ballots in this city this fall. One
question is for a gradual increase 10
policemen's pay and the other is for
an appointive school board.
1t should be no hard matter to de-
eide what to do for the policemen
They are deserving of a salary in
keeping with the growth and progress
of this city. The highest amount
they can ever reach is $1,000 per
year, but it will be several years be-
fore any of the patrolmen receive that
amount, as the law fixes a small per-
centage increase each year. This
makes the increased burden rest
lightly upon the taxpayers. The
question should be adopted. In Or
der to vote in favor of it cross out
&he word against" on the ballot.
Regarding the school board, there
is a great difference of opinion. I'm
der ordinary circumstances it would
be foolish for the people to vote to
give away their rights, which they
will be doing if they vote to change
the school board from the elective to
the appointive. Nevertheless, for
several years the history of the school
board has been the same. Wrangles,
! quarrels and deadlocks have hindered
the work. Men have been placed
owe our educational system who have
not possessed the first rudiments of
an English education themselves. The
people have had ample opportunity
to correct this, but they have not.
By giving a majority for the appoint
i've system the people will be serving
notice upon the mayor-elect that they
want better material than they now
have and he will doubtless act accord
ingly.
Both questions on the ballots
should be adopted. To vote in favor
of them, cross out the word against"
in both plases3where it appears.
