Stop That Pain!
VOLTAis the Positive Cure
For Rheumatism, Sciatica and
Neuralgia.

There is no experiment, no guess
work, no risk. And NO DRUGS TO
SWALLOW. The results are Won
derful, the method simple. Relief
is Immediate; the cure is permanent.
You've tried lots of things and
they failed to help you. That's a
matter of course. No real cure for
rheumatism has ever been found be-
fore-nothing but lotions and plas-
ters, that only went skin deep, or
drugs that were dangerous, and de-
stroyed more stomachs than they cur
ed rheumatism.
VOLTA is absorbed through the
soles Of the feet. 1t dissolves the
deposits of uric acid that cause the
pain. II stimulates the blood to car
ry off the poison. It's action is logi-
cal and thorough 1t brings back the

MONDAY, MARCH II.
THE HOG COMBINE"

The Public Service Corporation is
now showing itself in its true color
Having secured perpetual franchise
to operate a trolley line in the bor-
ough of South Amboy, it is endeavor-
ing to prevent another company
from securing franchise for TWEEN
ty years in that place. More than
this, the Public Service refuses to
ask for franchise to cross the AM
boy bridge with trolley line, but is
fighting the granting of such fran
chise to any other company.
The question is, are the people go
ing to allow this hoggish combine,
with headquarters in Newark, to hold
up public improvement here? Has
this corporation such power that
it can do just as it pleases at any
time convenient to itself?
In discussing the latest move on
the part of the Public Service the
South Amboy Citizen says:
This is another case of big
fish trying to eat up the little
ones. The Public Service wants
the earth and doesn't want any
other corporation to exist on it.
The Jersey Central Traction
Company gave due notice of in
tention to ask for a franchise in
~ this borough, and 1t would seem
that then was the time to enter
protest, and not after the fran
chise was granted, and work
commenced on the route. This
means a delay in building a
route that the people are anx-
ious TO have built. The action
is an insult upon the mayor and
council and the people of this
borough. The Public Service
Corporation has not asked for
any other route outside of what
they now have, and there is no
reason why they should prevent
the progress of the town by en-
deavoring to prevent any other
trolley road passing through"
That is the proper way to talk.
But our esteemed contemporary says
more and the officials of the bor-
ough across the river should get
busy Continuing, the Citizen says:
"The Public Service Corpora
tion has completely ignored the
penalties that exist in the pres
ent franchise. When asked to
comply with its provisions such
demands are met with silent
contempt, just as though our Of
iieials were Of little account. 1t

him lying in the marsh, to give the
impression that he had wandered there
and died.
THE condition of the clothing, too,
is such as to indicate that the body
has not been lying there long. The
spot where the body was found had
been burned over by fire four weeks
ago, when we burned all the high grass
in the vicinity. The clothing, how
ever, showed no sign of having been
burned, as it undoubtedly would have
had the body been there when we
burned the grass
The child's clothing was intact, and
just as it was on the day of his dis
appearance. Even the mittens were
still on his hands. His knitted wool
en- cap was pulled down over his face,
the tassel, however, being almost torn
off. The child's face is much discol-
