HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL! - - - -

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
THE quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community il
serves, and has the confidence
OF Its readers.
The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label-that is to
say, his reputation
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
The combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

cause of the decline in natural phys

that deteriorative tendencies are in
creasing more rapidly than the strong

sons physically unfit.
Serious Work Ahead. Says Hills
"Remidal measures no under agita-
ton in some of the states" he said,
will relieve ministers of responsible
ity and place it upon physicians, who
must inquire into the physical history
of young men wishing to marry, and
this record will be spread out like a
map in the presence of the parents
and the bride There is a serious work
ahead for all agencies for reform
along this line"
1T is only a matter of time when
the state will fall into line with the
churches in this vital matter" said the
Rev. A. E. Music, of the Fort VAST
ington Reformed Church, whose eX-
ecutive committee has passed a reso-
luton that a medical certificate must
be presented along with a marriage
license by couples wishing to be wed
in that church.
Laws will soon be passed to pre-
vent marriages in which one of the
principles is diseased
The poor are often victims of igno-
rance, but the rich often enter know
ingly into relations of marriage that
ought to be forbidden, and that is the
root of divorce Once more the church
is blazing the way for civilization"

FITGENIC MARRIAGE is
PERFORMED IN MONTCLAIR
Pastor Jackson Applies Rule Sternly to Bridegroom,
Who Has to Furnish Medical Guarantee of Sound
ness-Dr Boynton of Brooklyn Falls in Line

New York, June 9.-Pastor Henry
Z. Jackson of the Christian Union
Congregational Church, Monticlair, y.
J.. who was one of the first ministers to
declare that young couples wishing
him to marry them must come to him
with medical certificates of physical
fitness, performed last night his first
ceremony under the new rule. The
principals were Aubrey Luther Whit
temore of Rogers Park, Chicago, and
Ethel Daniel Phillips, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Gorham Phillips, of
No. III Cooper avenue, Montclair.
Miss Phillips had been known to
the minister all her life, and he asked
no medical certificate from her. He
applied the rule sternIy to the bride
groom, who had to furnish a medical
guarantee of soundness several weeks
ago. Montclair society turned out in
force for the ceremony and afterward
locked to the reception at the Phil
lips home. Both church and house
were richly decorated with flowers,
and refreshments were served under a
canopy on the home lawn.

who are now being tried here for afro

the fact of the trial pardons a brief
summary of the main incidents.
The leaders of the gang were Gar

twenty years of age, but he possessed
the ability of a much older man. He
was known as 1.-The pretty eel" pos

thing about his personal appearance
was the power of his eyes to fascinate
and domineer. Bonnet, the other chief,
was a chauffeur of remarkable dexter
ity and daring. He first interested the
police in March 1911. when, at the age
of g, he and his followers attempted
to murder policeman.
