LOCAL BOARD TAKES UP
GREAT KILLS SIDEWALKS

At a meeting of the local Board
of Public Improvement at Borough
hall, st. George, on Tuesday, the
matter of widening and laying side
walks on Amboy road, between
Crooks crossing and what is known
as Little Dublin road, Great Kills,
was discussed and some opposition
arising, was laid over. J.. o. f. Nc
kee represented the Great Kills I'M
provement Association, was the prin-
cipal talker. The plan is to lay side
walks along that part of the Amboy
road where it is narrow and where
many automobiles pass to the danger
of pedestrians. Complaint has been
made time and time again about a
turn at Great Kills, where there are
no sidewalks and where people have
to walk upon the highway. Commits
stoner of Public Works Tribus has
the petition under consideration and
the matter will probably be taken
up again at the next meeting of the
board. AS this was the first meet
ing of the board since the summer
vacation, a full board was present.
Borough President Cromwell pre-
sided and Aldermen Charles P. Cole,
William Fink and John j. O'Rourke

resting War History.
Special to the EVENING NBWk

Keyport, Sept. 19:-H. Wilbur
Maynard, Of First street, East Key
port, has been notified by w. F.
Sadler, Jr., adjutant general Of the
National Guard of the State Of New

In the near future in recognition Of
his twenty-five years of faithful SER
vice as a musician in Company G,
Third Regiment. which company, In
til recent years, had its headquar-
tiers in the armory, which has since
been destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Maynard has an interesting
soldier history. He enlisted as a
charter member into the ranks of
Company G, Third Regiment N. G..
clan and continued in active service
in the company until h~onorably dis
charged December 23, 1892. Previ-
Gus to his enlistment in the New
Jersey Militia Mr. Maynard enlisted
in 1858 in the Seyenty-first Regi-
ment of the New York National
Guard, and in April, 1861, when that
regiment left its quarters In New
York City for the Southern battle
field, he accompanied the contingent
as drum sargent. At the close of
the first year of the campaign, dur
ing which the regiment was station
ed about the vicinity of Washington,
and which was in several engage
ments on Virginia soil, he was trans
ferred to the 1920 New York Volun-
teers as principal musician. After
seeing much active service and be-
ing subjected to most fatiguing
hardships, Mr.. Maynard was grant
ed a commission on account Of i'll
health as purser in the quartermas-
ter service on the quartermaster
vessel Underwater. He was on the
above federal craft at the time she
was nearly captured by the Confed-
crate frigate Alabama, when the
federal frigate Minnesota came to
their rescue and pursued the Ala
bama until she reached a safe haven.
At the expiration of his commits
sion on the Underwater and having
fully regained his health, he was
given a commission in the quarter
master department of the army in
the field, and he continued in such
service until the close of the war in
1866. Up until this period Mr..
Maynard's home Was in Brooklyn,
but soon after he returned from the
war he moved to this place, and at
about the same time he reenlisted TO
begin the service to the state for
which he will receive the above re-
ward.
Mr.. Maynard has in his possession
many old documents and mementoes
relating to bis soldier period as
commissions and discharges and
army literature of which he feels
very proud.

THE ONE HARM
LESS SKIN BLEACH

Thanks to the enforcement of the
Pure Food and Drugs Act, the vari-
Gus preparations designed to bleach
the skin, containing Injurious acids
and corrosive sublimate, have had
to go. Their sale is now Illegal.
There now looms up brightly
"SK YN-BLEACH," a peroxide can
composed mostly of Earth Alkaline
Peroxides and which contains no
acids or injurious substances of any
kind.
1t does it's work by reason Of the
fact that when rubbed on the skin,
previously moistened with warm
water, the free and active oxygen
which thereby becomes released not
only bleaches the skin but thorough
ly disinfects as well. The person
afflicted with discolored skin and
wishing to obtain that creamy white
skin so much to be desired, will find
Skynbleach a most valuable, efficient
and simple preparation to use.
Ask the West End Pharmacy to
satisfy you that Skynbleach Will re-
store "harmlessly" your normal
complexion and skin.
