Nothing in the history OF medicine
has ever approached the success of the
marvellous skin remedy known as pos
lam. which. it is safe to say, has cured
more cases of eczema and skin diseases
than any remedy ever offered for these
ills.
The success OF poslam is not at all
surprising when it is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately and
proceeds to zeal at nee. The very
worst cases Of eczema, as well as acne.

crusted humors. scaly scalp and every
form of itch yield to it readily. Blem-
ishes such as pimples. red noses, muddy
and infiamed skin disappear almost i'm

George BaIIantine, Is Years Old.

A Search is being made today by the
Belleville police for George Ballantine,
a ~13-year-old negro, of SO Maioran
place, in the Silver Lake section, Belle
vile, who yesterday, 1t is alleged,
thrust a knife into the leg Of Daniel
HAYWARD, a white boy, 10 years old, of
Franklin street. that place. Young
Harvard is now confined to his home
under the care OF a physician, suffering
from three deep gashes in his left leg
kas a result.
Late Yesterday afternoon several boys
were playing in front of the candy
| store of Mrs. Mary Poshie, 10 Franklin
street. The young fugitive and Hap
ward were with the others. 1t is said
that the victim OF the %stabbing left the
street n went toward the store to go
inside.
After he entered he shut the door,
and in doing this the lad unconscious
ly struck young Ballantine with the
door. The latteEFbecame Infatuated, It
is said, and taking a knife from his
back poclrsf he slashed his companion
and fed.
DR.. J. S. Wolfe. of Bloomfield, who
WAS summoned, dressed Hapward's In

his home nearby. Mrs. Jennie Hap
ward, the victims mother, was re-
turning home from work, and notified

say that Ballantine has quite a repu-
tation for using a knife when he is
implicated in a quarrel.

A bill introduced this Week IN the
Legislature by Assemblyman Duane %.
Minard (by ~request), which, II passed,
will give each member of the east Or
ange Police Board $500, has caused
members of the legislative committee
of the City Council to gasp with sur
prise. The attention Of Mayor Card

Councilman Grover.
Councilman Lee. vino Is a member OF
the committee with Councilmen Grove
and Merrill, declared this morning that
the bill will never again see the light
of day IL the committee has any say
in the matter. He believed it strange
that only members of the Police Board
were to receive a salary.
Mayor Cardwell announced he was
opposed 10 the measure and will prob
ably unite with the legislative commit
tee in an effort TO prevent the passage
of the bill. Mr.. Grover called attention
to the fact that the board asked for an
increased appropriation this year, and
said he opposed having salaries in
creased.
Assemblyman Minard say the bill
was sent to him by mail for introduce

POSTOFFICE DEFICIT DUE

1t hardly needs expert investigation

These should be uncovered and reduced

says the Bookkeeper.

WIFE LEAPS FROM WINDOW
IN QUARREL WITH HUSBAND.
Mrs. Loshert Broke Leg. but
Won't Talk of Injury.

Following 4 quarrel with her nus
band, George Loshert, Mary Loshert
jumped out of a second-story window
Of a tenement house at 7S4 North Sixth
street late yesterday afternoon.
The accident was not reported by the
police until early today, however. An
emergency call for an ambulance was
sent In and she was taken to the City
Hospital, where it was found that her
right leg had been broken by the fall.
Mrs. Loshert will say nothing as to the
nature OF the quarrel with her husband,
whom ~neighbors say was in the habit of
coming home frequently in an intoxi-
lated condition.
Inmates of the house heard the couple
quarreling, and saw the woman sud
denly open a window and jump to the
ground.
The Losherts have two small children.
They have no friends in the neighbour
hood. and no one knows anything about
the family. The couple themselves re-
fuse to say anything about them
selves. The police are investigating the
affair. AS yet the husband has not
been arrested.

The Japs are the most optimistic peo-
ME on the face OF the earth. Kick a

SC heavily taxed as have the japanese
to overcome the cost Of the late war.
They look upon their huge debt lightly,
and when the government told them
they would haye to pay it they laughed
eheerfully-and went at it. CONNER

A smart legislative body put ex-

white foreigner was made to help out
the struggling masses. Horses are as

a single horse. The owners of what

BIDS EXCEED AMOUNT
OF SCHOOL APPROPRIATION,

From the bids received by the Mill
burn Board OF Education last night for

seem that the board will either have to
reduce the size of the structure or call
for an extra appropriation, as the low
est bid received was for S23, ESQ. This
is $3.50 in excess Of the money voted
for the school. Leary & Co, builders,
and Storm & Co., heating contractors,
both of Newark, were the lowest bid
ders. and their combined bid amounted
to S23, 250.
Although the plans provided for a
combination brick and frame building.
a bid was received from the American
Concrete and Steel Construction Com
pany, of New York, who agreed to
build d %freproof, reinforced steel build
ing for the same figure as that offered
for the combination building. The
board will meet again tonight to take
up the bids in detail.
