and milk and things like those he swallows day by
day, and still he lean and leaner grows, until he
blows away. The fat man, hoping to get thin and
willowy and pi NIX, to sacrifice his double chin and
make his waist line shrink, eats things which have
no heat or force, and drinks denatured whey; he
browses like a COW or horse on slaw and bran an
hay. Instead OF growing slim and sweet his mighty
girth expands, until he cannot see his feet, or reach
them with his hands. In vain the living skeleton
may gorge him self with grub; he'll still remain,
when he is done the same old feshless dub. In
vain the man who breaks the scale would find of
fat surcease; his foolish torturings will fail to rid
him of his grea Sc. So let us then be all serene, from
idle longings free, and sing and dance, the fat and
lean, in joyous ecstacy; and let no fodder be denied

FOR A NEW UNION STATION.

The action of the Progressive Club of this
city in demanding better station facilities in
Perth Amboy shows how the movement
that was started by the EVENING NEWS
is spreading. The Young Mems Hebrew
Association took up the agitation som time
ago. Other organizations have been consid-
ering action, and with the Progressive Club
in line, the public is slowly but surely be-
coming aroused to the necessity of better &C
commodations.
It will be noted that back of all the agita-
ton is a emand for a new station. This is
soraething that must come. The progress of
rsrth Amboy cannot longer be retarded by
the present dilapidated and outgrown struc-
ture.
The EVENING NEWS has urged the new
station idea from the start. We have in
sisted, however, that we be given some i'm
provements at the present station at once.
This is about to be realized.
Now we can move forward. This means a
new union station which can be used by the
Pennsylvania, the Central and the Lehigh
Valley. The three railroads meet at a point
where a union station could easily be erected
at a most convenient location in the city.
With all three sharing the expense the bur
den would not be great and a handsome
structure, suitable for the city, could be con-
structed.

this line from her twin city, Pittsfield, Mass.
It will be remembered that when the last
federal census was taken Perth Amboy and
Pittsfeld had exactly the same population
1921. After two years of hard work, the
people of Pittsfeld have just been assured
by the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad that it will start work on a new
$500, 900 station for that city in the spring.
This is a great victory for Pittsfield. It is an
inspiration for other cities, particularly for
Perth Amboy, with a population the same as
that of Pittsfeld.
thing of the way Pittsfeld went about the
work of securing the station. We can per-
haps profit by the experience there.
In the first place, the council of that city
passed a resolution instructing the mayor to
appoint a committee to work for a new sta
ton, leaving it to the committee to devise it's
W plans. This put the city's official stamp
of approval on the project, The mayor named
three of he most prominent and influential
citizens of Pittsfeld. For two years this com-
mittee worked increasingly and without dis
~couragement toward getting a new station. So
forceful were its arguments and so convinc-
ing was the evidence it laid before the rail
road officials that Pittsfeld needed a new sta
ton, that the railroad has finally drawn up
plans for a 100000 structure. This was
worth working two years for.
With the movement now on foot to put our
Board of Trade on a firm foundation and to

expect to issue some time within the
course of the next month and which
will give full information on the re-
suits of our experiment.
But there is one thing that ought
to be made clear, and that is that
is that consumers ought to go to
some trouble to get into personal
touch with farmers in order that both
may deal satisfactorily. 1t is worth
while. Our people ought to learn to
do as they do in Europe. In France,
for instance, people go to the country
to spend their summer vacation, and
part of their thought in going is to
get into direct touch with the farmer
and find out then and there the kind,
quantity and quality of farm produce
which they can get. They get to
know the farmer and he gets to know
them. They are then able to trust
each other and depend on each other.
Here our people are not matter-of-
fact enough. They want to telephone
for everything they need. People in
other countries are willing to go to
some trouble to get good and cheap
food, and in consequence they get
what they are after"

HORSE
Fell Down In Trying To Run
Away And Broke Leg
Driver Had A Very Narrow
Escape From Injury

The loss of considerably over one
hundred dollars resulted when a horse
owned by Mr.. Manford Russell fell
while running away on East Gambler
street Thursday morning. The ami
malls left fore-leg was broken and
1t was necessary to shoot it as the
break was too near the hoof to per.
nit the application of splints. Lantie
Householder, who was driving at the
time of the runaway, was heavily
thrcwn, but was uninjured.
The horse was being driven at a
moderate rate of speed and was going
west on Il. Gambler st. when one side
of the shafts became loosened from the
wagon and dropped to the pavement
This frightened the animal and 1t ran
away. In attempting to turn south
on Gay street the horse fell and its
leg was broken. The wagon was ov'
erturned, groceries were scattered
about the spot. Householder's escape
from injury was remarkable.
