A so-INcH WATER MAIN.

The planning of the water board
to construct an additional water
main under the Raritan river is
timely. This main should be ade-
quate for the future growth OF the
city. Perth Amboy Is growing rap
idly and its industries require a
great amount of water. Besides
this, there are suburban territories
to be supplied, which will continue
to increase the demand on the city.
Not only should a new main be
built, but 1t is also time to take &C
ton on a reservoir to be erected on
this side of the river where a su9i-
cient quantity of water could be
stored to supply the city for several
days, absolutely independent Of Run
yon. This would mean a large out
lay of money, but 1t would be well
invested and would place the city In
position where no harm could come
to it by damage to the pipe lines be-
tween here and the pumping station.
The thirty-inch main should be
constructed under the river at once.
The plans have already been pre-
pared by the city engineer and the
details have been mapped out We
do not believe 1t would be economy
to build a t~wenty-four inch main at
$4,000 when a thirty-inch main
could be built for 100000. The
needs of the city will soon grow to
the latter, and the additional money
spent now would be money saved
then. The water board have an ina
portant duty to perform and we be-
lieve that 1t will have the hearty
support of the citizens in this i'm
portant matter. 1t Is a serious thing
to be dependent upon one main alone
to convey the water from the pump
ing station to this city. The old
~sixteen-inch main is practically use
less and would be of little service
should the twenty-four inch main
give out.
The present makeup of the water
board is one that lends confidence in
what 1t should do and the people
look to it to give the proper safe
guard In the water supply.
1t is highly desirable that any
water main to be laid in Sheridan
street be put down at the earliest
possible moment as this street is the
approach to the bridge and ia used
" thousands of vehicles. 1t is now
n d~eplorable condition. The alder

MUST AN AcCIpENT OCCUR?

MUST AN ACCIDENT OCCUR?
Another serious accident was mar
rowly averted at the Smith street
crossing of the Central railroad last
night, when a trolley car vas shut
in on the tracks and the motorman
was forced to put on all power and
smash through the gates in order to
clear the tracks for the approaching
train. This seems to be a cas- of
gross carelessness. Either the car
| should never have been allowed TO
get on the tracks when the train
was approaching or else the gates
should have been allowed to remain
up long enough to let the car escape.
1t looks as If the railroad company
Is waiting for a serious accident to
happen at this crossing before the
proper precautions are taken to pro-
tect the public. So serious has the
| situation become that the Board OF
| Aldermen, at a recent meeting, noti-
fed the railroad company of the
matter and requested that proper
precautions be taken. Although
this-letter was SEM over a week age
no reply has yet been received by
the city clerk and apparently no eff
fort has been made to make the
crossing more safe.
The fact that these narrow es-
eapes are continually being exper-
fenced shows the enormous amount
of travel which crosses this point
every day. Perth Amboy has a pop.
ulatlon of over $4,000 and this /:
the main street crossing in the heart
of the business section, where troll
ley cars from New Brunswick ami
South Amboy are passing every few
minutes. 1t is a very dangerous
spot at best. and when incompetent
men are placed In charge Of the gates
which are the only protection thus
far afforded. the matter is not to hs
treated lightly.
If the railroad company thinks
that It is too expensive to give tbs
proper protection to this CROSSING
and prefers to take chances with al
accident that may kin e . o
more people. the city of Perth Am
boy does not. If prompt action 1
not taken in this matter 1t should b,

mission, at Trenton, and see whethe

rha Bald Hoofed Hon,

There are some solid hoofed hogs in
the world, but they are few and far
between. Darwin has a great deal to
say about such pigs in his Origin OF
Species" as there were only three in
England at the time he wrote this
book. The solid hoofed hog IS not a
freak of nature, as many suppose, but
q genuine case of reversion to print
tive or ancestral type. 1t seems that.
unlike the prehistoric ancestor of the
modern horse, which has four toes or
hoofs, the old clotherium, from which
animal all members of the swine fam
fly are descended had a solid hoof,
and in the course Of ages, as the old
parent form died out and the modern
wild boar, domestic hog, peccary, etc,
were evolved this solid hoof became
through what Darwin calls "adapta-
ton" and natural selection" divided
up into two parts, so that all modern
hogs are cloven hoofed Occasionally.
however, a hog is born with the old
original solid hoof of the primitive hog
ancestor, thus demonstrating the tend
ency in all animals to revert now and
then to the parent form.

FIRST BALE OF COTTON
MAY COME IN JULY
Americas Will Welcome the
FIGCCy King.

That Americas will receive her
first bale" of the new cotton crop
during the latter days of July is very
generally conceded by planters and
warehousemen in touch with the fine
crop conditions in Sumter. The crop
is well advanced and the FIRST bale"
of last season should be beaten by at
least ten days.
The advent of the first bale is
ever an occasion of greatest interest
in Americas, as it comes as the har-
binger of the prosperous and busy
fall season of business.
The first bale last season was re-
ceived here about the middle of Au-
gust, but the crop generally was much
later than is this one.
That there will be many July bales
and thousands of August bales this
season seems quite probable just now,
while crop prospects are so fattering.

MENTAL REST Is REQUIRED
IN SEASON OF SUMMER.
Some "DOnt's" for Nervous and Elk.
citabIe People.

There are few Americas people, n
those elsewhere for that matter, who
know how to rest, and this ignorance,
according to we'll known medical
man, accounts for much of the mod
ern nerve strain and insanity.
The average man." he said, spends
his day working, and when he comes
home, instead of resting, he begins
to work again, and work hard.
HE reads, plays cards, gardens,
goes calling, is called upon, dresses
and hurries off to a theater or music
hall-does anything, in fact, but rest
his brain and body
Now all these things may be done
now and then benefcially, but when
they are made habit they are as ia
.tguing as his daily work.
THE only real rest he gets is
sleeping. In other words, his brain
and his body are hard at it from the
time he rises in the morning until
he gets into bed
But the brain especially wants con-
scious rest.
When the brain is working it IS
producing toxins just as is the case
with the muscles. These toxins, or
pCisons, have to be cleaned out of the
body by rest, and to change ones
work does not do this
THE way to get real rest is as fol-
lows:
Sit or lie down real comfortable.
Think about nothing; do not di-
rect your brain; let in wander.
do not talk about anything that
requires mental effort
Listen to simple conversation.
Discuss nothing that you feel
strongly about or which worries you
Except when man is asleep there
is a stream Of ideas running through
his mind. 1t is quite impossible e
be awake and have an empty mind
but it is possible to make an effort to
direct that stream.
If you make no effort you will ge
rest. Be a mental mollusc.
