ELECTRIC HEATING FOR
PUBLIC SERVICE CARS

New Brunswick, July 18:-The
Public Service Railway Company is
equipping a number of its winter
cars with electrical apparatus. In
all there will be PA cars which will
be heated by electricity. The lines
upon which the new system will be
used are the Paterson Turnpike,
Plank Road, Main Line, Elizabeth
Newark, Bergen Pike, White Line,
Hudson River, Perth Amboy and
South Amboy and Railway.
The heating will be under thermo-
static control and in the ordinary
sized cars, like the Paterson type,
there Will be sixteen heaters placed
under the seats. In the larger. cars
thirty-two heaters will be/used. The
electric heating, it has been figured
out, will afford better control Of the
car heating, will eliminate much
care that Is necessary with the Goa
stoves and insure a more uniform
temperature.
The electric heating will be much
more expensive, the company states,
than that afforded by the coal stoves.
There are 100 new cars under on
struction and these will also be
equipped with the new heaters.

taminate the wells and would de-
crease real estate values. James S.

Gates Of hte cemeteries. They will

For SOftening
andWhiteninq
the Skin

Skynbleach used regularly is your
best assurance of a fresh, healthy,
charming complexion. Peroxide. one
Of the chief ingredients of Skyn-
bleach, is a natural benefactor of the
skin. 1t nourishes, cleanses, and
bleaches. 1t also destroys germ life,
thus preventing skin affections
caused by bacteria.
There has never before been on
the market, to our knowledge, any
substance that would bleach the skin
unless 1t contained injurious acids
forcement of the Pure Food and
Drugs Act has made the marketing
of these articles illegal.
Therefore, we feel the readers of
the NEWS will welcome the news
that the West End Pharmacy, our
progressive druggists, have secured
the agency for Perth Amboy of
Whites Skynbleach, a peroxide
cream, composed mostly of Earth
Alkaline Peroxides and which con-
tains no acids or injurious sub
stances of any kind.
1t does its work by aso 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 hat Skynbleach will re-
store "harmlessly" your normal COM
nlaYinn and skin.
