AMENDMENTS
HELD UNTIL APRIL |
CONTINUED from page ~

to enter into the barroom during
prohibitory hours for the purpose of
cleaning. The article as introduced
provided that only the proprietor or
%barkeeper could enter a barroOm
during prohibitory hours; and they
| only while engaged In the actual
work Of cleaning the premises or
attending to fires.
Clauses scattered throughout the
proposed ordinance, providing for
revocation of a license for the second
violation Of a provision of the law,
have been removed, as has been told.
The excise commissioners received
legal advice on this subject, inform
ing them that such a clause was con-
trary to the state law, as 1t is claimed
the excise board cannot of its own
accord revoke n license. 1t may
try a license holder and revoke his
license If he is found guilty, provid-
ing written complaints were previ-
ously made by two residents, City
Attorney C. c. Hommann states.
Other provisions In the amend
ments and supplement are to remain
as first introduced, 1t "a understood.
Retail license fees are to be raised
to $500, wholesale to $500, hotel to
$500 n bottling to 5000. No per-
son or firm can hold more than one
license at a time. License holders
are limited to sell certain quantities
of liquor under certain conditions,
according to the kind Of license held,
and pocket billiard establishments
are to be licensed.
Revised copies Of the proposed
amendments and supplement were
before the commissioners last night.
The ordinance committee reported
they were not in readiness for intro
duction, after 1t had been suggested
that they be laid over and given two
readings at one meeting, instead Of
n at each of three meetings. It
had been intended to introduce and
pass them upon the first reading las.
night.
The following applications fo..
transfers were laid over under tho
rules: Ignatz Olceszki to Anton
Brunswick avenue; Peter Kozub ia
1gnatz Olceszki, saloon at I'll Broad
street.
President Hansen and Commits
sioners Gallagher, Seaman and
Boehm yer present.
Clerk Wilbur LaRoe raised the
question as to the legality OF adver.
Using excise notices in but one paper
= when the law provided they should
be advertised in two papers of Perth
Amboy. He stated there was but one
paper, the EVENING NEWS, In the
city. The subject was discussed
briefly and it was practically decided
to advertise IN the NEWS and a
Woodbridge paper, 1t being the near
est place Of publication to the city.
The application of Joseph Herr for
a renewal OF his saloon license was
granted unanimously by four votes.
The application had been held up a
week ago because the board had
heard that Herr had sold liquors in
wholesale quantities under a retail
license. The complaints were not
substantiated.
An application for a transfer of
the saloon license at 10 Fayette
street, from William Wheeler to
Frank Breitfeller, was laid on the
table by motion of Commissioner
Gallagher, seconded by Commission
er Boehm. 1t was before the board
a week ago, but was not then acted
upon.

SECRETARY DANIELS
PUTS BAN ON GOSSIP
Order Issued that No One Shall Talk
Official Business Important
or Trivial.
DIRECTED AT NEWSPAPER MEN

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
caused much comment In Washington
by addressing an order to all naval Off
GERS and civilian employees on duty al
the Navy Department enjoining them
from discussing with any persons outside
the department any matter Of navy busi-
ness, important or trivial.
The order is understood to be directed
chiefly at the newspaper men who daily
visit the Navy Department, and had its
origin in the leaking of two bits of
news which the Secretary was holding
in reserve for a time.
The order OF Secretary Daniels was
the more surprising because the fact
that he is himself a newspaper publisher
and editor, and was also manager Of the
publicity campaign of the Democratic
party in the last campaign. 1t was be-
lieved. early in the administration. that
Secretary Daniels was partly responsible
for the direction of the President that
''pitiless publicity be the order of things
during his term in the White House.
1t is believed, on behalf of the Secre-
tary, that his order was not for the pur-
pose of suppressing news, but only to
insure all news being given out through
the Office Of the Secretary.

Helen s.: Indeed you must not neglect
that tired, depressed feeling. which Is ac-
companied with a pimply condition Of
the face. They are caused by sluggish
blood which is not properly eliminating
the poisons from the system. Try this
blood purifier and tonic: Into u pint al
cohol whisky must not be used) pour
ounce kardene, then add u cupful sugar
and hot water to make full quart.
Take tablespoonful of this OId-fashioned
blood cleanser and tonic before each
meal This Is splendid for that weak,
worn feeling and restores the kidneys to
normal action and the blood to a healthy
condition. Its timely use will save much
serious sickness.
Duchess: You can easily stop that
dandruff and your hair from falling out
If you will use a good tonic twice

remedy which costs little and which
you can prepare at home. Mix together
one ounce Of quinzoin; IL pint alcohol

1t Is invigoeating to the hair roots,
encourages luXuriant, soft growth, and
Affords immediate relief from the itching
scalp. Be sure to rub 1t into the roots.
Old Maid: You say you are under 45
and have wrinkles in spite of all your
care. There is something wrong with
the lace cream you use. I have found
that to remove wrinkles and restore firm
outlines and softness there is nothing
better than this greaseless cream. which
you can easily make yourself and which
shows results right away. 1t does not in
duce hair growth. Stir 2 teaspoCnfuls
