SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Should Never Be Removed With
Poisonous, Pasty Compounds Be-
cause They Are Dangerous
and Increase the Growth.

The preparations above referred to are
invariably in the form of creamy pastes
These are easily recognized by their
pale grayish-greenish color. They are to
be spread upon the skin to remain .un-
til they are dry. These contain 'Sulphide
or Barium, an insoluble chemical
which cannot be dissolved, therefore
cannot be absorbed by the skin. The
very fact that you are told to leave
these pasty compounds on the skin un-
I'll they dry and cake and then lift off
with knife is proof positive that they
are not absorbed. If they are why do
they still remain on the skin? The most
they can possibly do is TO remove the
surface hair, which in consequence will
re-appear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
There is only ono logical and scientific
way to remove hair and that is by
means of the liquid containing soluble
ingredients which can be absorbed by
the skin. De Miracle, known all the
world over as the only real superfiuous
hair remover, Is just such a preparation
1t Is easily and quickly absorbed and
after you have used it you will mote
there is nothing left on the skin. 1t
leaves the skin free from Irritation, and
what Is more to the point, II Is abso-
lutely non poisonous, therefore, it will
not produce eczema or blood poisoning
Remember, no matter what claims are
made to the contrary. no poisonous,
cure" ever did or ever Will destroy a
single hair root, and we can prove it.
The extravaSent claims recently made
by unSCrupulOuS manufacturers of hair
removers in sensational advertisements
unquestionably justify physicians in
CautiOning the public against the use Of
this class of depilatories. How many
people have been enticed into using
these dangerous preparations with con-
sequent injury to themselves cannot be
estimated but only guessed at, there
fore beware of fake free advertisers and
others. who by wording of their adver-
tisements, try to give the impression
that newspapers and other reputable
publications indorse their worthless
preparations. Don't be deceived by them.
De Miracle is the only preparation which
is so indorsed
De Miracle is sold at all good stores,
including S. Kann. Sons & Co, The W.
S. Thompson Pharmacy.

Compulsory Voting Law

Corruption in public life largely is the

that citizens who wanted good govern

the politicians their opportunity, and
that these conscientious voters ought
not TO be made to suffer for the neg

TEAMS WILL BATTLE
AT AMUSEMENT PARK
Deciding Game Between 81. AnthOnyS
and FrankIins Will be Played To-
%morrOW--ExpeCt Bic Crowd.

Both teams are ready for the de-
Gliding bout between the Saints and
the Franklins to be held tomorrow
on the Amusement Park diamond.
The rivalry between the followers of
both mines is becoming stronger
every hour; by the time the teams
get together tomorrow there will
surely be something doing. The last
battle vas marked by numerous dis
putes by the spectators, due to the
excitement. The hackers of both
sides are putting their weekly salary
of three beans on the contest and
much money will change hands.
The Saints have lost a player and
the Franklins have taken him on,
says n of the Franklin men. The
player in question is Jeroski, the
SALESMAN of the Saints who has been
doing such good work this season.
The Saints have taken Ellie for the
rest of the season and it is likely
that he will do most of the work
hereafter. 1t is not thought that
Jeroski will be on the mound this
week unless something unexpected
happens to Apologize. Apologize
has been doing all the work this
year for the Franklins and they are
fortunate in securing so good a
twirler to take his place if anything
should go wrong.
The Saints think they are able to
handle the situation without the aid
of Jeroski and will do so this week.
Ellie, they say, was never better than
he is at present and will show the
Franklin fans a few things about
the game this week. There is no
telling what will happen when he
gets loose around the diamond and
it is likely that many of the Frank
Inns will bow before his mighty
benders. The rest of the nine is in
as good condition and they expect to
do things as whole. They will at
tempt to take the game from the
first round on, and will try to make
the first part of the game the best
from every point of view. They are
confident that their team is the best
and will work their hardest to prove
it this Sunday.
The Franklins too are in good
condition and will play some classy
ball this week. Apologize will prob
ably occupy his old position on the
mound and 1t IS thought that Fritz
will again be behind the hat, The
whole team has been on th job this
last week andlthey have fec trying
some new ones which the Saints are
not wise to. They think they will

Fish Tales :

Two boats went out from Van
Pelt's yesterday and brought back
far sized catches. A large number
of boats are out this morning and a
still larger number have been re-
served for tomorrow morning and
afternoon. Yesterdays catches: John
Buckley, of this city, eighteen blues
and weaks; John Anderson, also of
this city, got fourteen blues and
Weaks.
The tides for tomorrow are just
right for fishing. 1t is high water in
the bays about noon. This gives an
opportunity to fish the flood and the
ebb tides between 6 o'clock in the
morning and 6 o'clock at night. The
moon is in shape for big tides and
when we have big tides it means
swift tides and this keeps the bait
moving, which attracts the fish.
Prosecutors Detective Quicker and
Howard and Charles Kasefang, all of
Newark, did some good fishing We'd
nesday off this city. They stopped
all night at Charlie Hower's Amboy
Hotel and early in the morning went
out in a launch and caught ninety
three weakfsh and fifteen bluefish.
From Acker's boats, Sewaren, fish
ing has greatly improved in the last
few days, boats this week landing up
to twenty-four fish each. Some of
the lucky ones were: w. R. Beers,
Elizabethport, eighteen weakfsh;
Detective Sergeant George Conger,
Railway, tw~enty-four weakish and
four bluefish; August Scholz, Perth
Amboy, two weakfsh; DR.. Platt,
Dunellen, sixteen weakfsh; Artie De-
ter and Marty Einhorn, Woodbridge,
ten weakfsh; Legrand and John
Wallace, Oscar Jackson and Craw-
ford, seventeen weakfish and two
bluefsh: George Nagengast, Bay
onne City Yacht Club. eighteen weak
fish.
Tom Munsey and Frank Boyd
caught a big mess of weakfsh on
the Kearny flats Thursday. This
is the first reported catch from the
Raritan river and while it is early
for them to be up the Raritan river,
it may be that there is where they
have been all during July while the
fishermen have been looking for them
out in the bay.
Owners of power boats will do well
to anchor neal the can buoy hat is
due east of Keyport. Big bluefish are
to be had there, so take along strong
tackle. For weakish, keep to the
Staten Island shore and use shrimp
There is a hole just off the Prince
Bay light house that has about forty
feet of water at high tide, Some big
veakfish have been taken from it this
week.

Another high-class boxing show
will be held Monday night at Trox-

Newark. Three star bouts, one semi
final and three preliminaries are
carded. The star performers are
Ray Hatfield, Newark's popular box
er, and Kid Adubato, the high school
boy. This will be Adubato's first
appearance as a star performer and
his debut as such is creating intense
interest among the followers of the
fistic art. The result of this bout
will be the rise or fall of Adubato,

he will be in line to meet the other

CONTESTS OVER
THE WEEK END
Danes Play Tottenville Today
!.ss 1.sBattle at Metuchen.
.he out-of-town games for today

Inc OuC-OI-tOWQ games IOT q
are the Perth Amboys against the
Metuchen F. C. and the Danish So
ciable A. G. against the Tottenville
A. G. Both games will be snappy in
every particular.
The Roosevelt A. G. will entertain
the fast West Ends, of P~lain1eld, to-
morrow at the home grounds and
some good tossing of the ball will be
seen.
The Danes will journey to Hugue-
not tomorrow and meet the fast ag-
~gregation of that place. One of the
star attractions of the season is
looked for by the fans of the park.
The Puritans will travel to Rah-
way where they will meet the crack
Ell Cids. This will be a good game
from every point of view, according
to present indications. Mulvaney,
the new SALESMAN of the P%uritans,
will probably be IN the mound.
The Maurer A. CT will journey
across the sound to Mt. Loretto,
where they will play the fast repre-
sentative team from that place. This
will be a hard game for the tile
maker boys but they think they are
able to cope with the situation.
