PATERSON THE EAST JERSEY ALLY.

East Jersey Water Company interests always have
been strongly entrenched at Paterson. The officials
of that city strongly favored the astonishing scheme
devised by the East Jersey for at Mountain
View, flood extensive of the Passaic valley
for a gigantic reservoir, Essex county to pay the
great bulk of the cost. AS the pipes of the East
Jersey are well that they would practically
command the reservoir supply, the scheme was for
the benefit of that furtive corporation.
The East Jersey Water Company now wants to
unload its Little Falls plant the municipalities at
immense price and has used every influence for
its purpose At conferences of municipal
sentatives the sentiment was Overwhelmingly against
the Jersey and in favor of the development of the
Wanaque for a pure and permanent supply. Mayor
Fordyce, of Paterson, almost alone in favoring
the East Jersey proposition. Last week he came out
with ppbic statement giving the Paterson official
view of the question
If the Legislature had passed the bill for dam
at Mountain View Newark would today have millions
of additional bonded debt and the East Jersey Water
Company would possess, free of cost increasingly

all the rights it claimed to divert from the Pas

Value of Health in Industry and War

There is food for reflection in the
fact that the exigencies of commerce,
the advantageous pursuit of indus
trial operations, and even the prep
aration for real or anticipated war
may promptly bring about hygienic
reforms which widespread preaching
and earnest eXhortation are at best
slow in promoting. The safety first"
slogan which one hears in nearly
every city of the United States at the
present time is one aspect of move
ment to increase the personal welfare
of the individual by decreasing the
liability to injury through the care
1essness of a fellow man. The same
spirit crops out in the ten trade COM
mandments' of the worker which are
posted conspicuously here and there
in factories where personal injuries
and loss of life furnish unfortunate
and-let it be frankly added-un-
profitable incidents in the conduct of
manufacturing operations. The re-
minder thou shalt not" gains added
force when it's value is expressed in
terms of practice and daily expert
ence rather than In the more vague
language of ethical considerations.
And accordingly there is a telling
force in such direct admonitions as
the following, from recent compila-
ton for use in a factory:
"rhou shalt take no unnecessary
risks, nor try to show off, nor play
practical jokes. for by thy careless
ness thou mayest do injury which
will have effect unto the third and
fourth generations to follow.
Remember thou are not the only
one on the job, and that other lives
are Just as important as thine own.
"Thou shalt not throw matches or
greasy waste on the floor, as a dirty
worker is a clumsy worker, and a
clumsy worker is a menace to his
fellow workers"
These and similar timely sugges-
tions, put in form that is sure to
attract notice, cannot fail to pro-
mote the mutual and reciprocal In
terest of the employer and the en-
ployed. Modern hygiene and preven-
tive medicine have recognized long
ago that the individual can no longer
claim a liberty in his actions indie
pendent of his neighbor. Our pro-
visions for quarantine, vaccination
against smallpox, and divers other
regulations in the interest of the
public health have, in the past, been
enforced only with the annoyance
that comes from lack of co-opera-
ton and from personal resentments
together with the indifference for
restrictive rules that is bred in a
| community Of free" people. Yet

The royal women of history do the
birthday honors for October ). These
are Margaret of Scotland, the first
wife of King Louis XXI. of France
and the second wife of King James
II. of England, Mary of Modena-
Margaret was born October 5, 1425
She was the delicate. sensitive little
daughter of a Scotch king, and her
marriage to the dauphin of France
was part Of her fathers selfish plan
to gain power and prestige. She was
only ten years old when she was sent
away from her home to become tho
wife of O prince whom she had never
seen. In France the dauphin's father
loved the little Margaret like his own
daughter, but the prince. who was
forced to wed her when she was still
a child, could not endure her. Tho
coldness of the prince caused Mar
garet many a tear, and 1t was when
brooding over this sorrow that she
turned her thoughts to poetry. Later
as she grew to womanhood she con-
tinued the love of poetry, and she
surrounded herself with a group of
poetry-loving young women, with
whom she used to sit far into the
night reading and writing songs and
rondeaux.
Margaret died when she was only
twenty, before she had ever become
queen and still unloved by the cold
hearted prince. Her delicacy, which
resulted in her early death, was said
to have been due to her long vigils
of poetry writing and to her sorrow
at having failed TO gain the princes
affection. Her last words were these:

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
BY DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHBE re
A. b., NJ A., M d. (Johns Hopkins.

Red hair is said by sayants to be
growing more and more rare.
Red Hair Growing Scarcer.
Whereas red-haired animals are
spreading over the face of the
earth, red-haired apes, savagcs ami
uper-civilized men, like the seals
and the whales, are being rapidly
eliminated. The fact that there were
at one time many more red-haired
individuals in the human family than
at present Is attested by Darwin,
who cites the fact that the new
born white child and the new born
negro have nut brown hair which
soon becomes darker; the black color
may not appear until within a year.
Chorus girls and certain fashion
able debutantes often seek for hair
dyes or stains with which to color
their brown or blond curls the tint
of summer sunset. This is a
grievous practice, for artificial red
hair is usually harmful. and the lure
Of golden tresses depends upon their
rarity as much as their purity.
If you are the proud possessor of
red hair, never use any chemicals
upon your scalp without the advise
of a medical specialist. Do not bind
your tresses tightly with bands,
combs, or hats.
Red Locks Inherited.
Contrary to a prevalent belief, red
hair really has nothing to do with
iron or anything else in the blood.
Just as one man inherits club foot
and another a Cupid's bow mouth,
so you inherit red hair. If red
haired guinea pigs. are crossed with
black-haired ones, as DR.. Donaldson
has done, all of the filters from this
mating will be black. If the young
intermarry-so to speak-three out of
each four will be black and one will
have red hair If this red-haired one
marries another red-haired one from
this second generation all of the Off
spring will be red-haired. If 1t is,
however, mated with black haired
one, the young will be all black.
How to Care for Hair.
Never use oils or eggs on your hair
and beauty specialists. Do not clean
you couture with borax soda or
glycerine, and avoid as you would Old
Nick the fine tooth comb and the or
binary cheap alkali soaps.
The head should be washed either
with an oilless cream or neutral
soap-a soap that is neither acid nor
alkaline-and pure water Pieces of
'litmus'' paper obtained from the
druggist turn a deep blue in alka'i
water and a pale pink in acid solu-
lions.
Finally, taboo all dyes and coloring
matters.

CITY AND RURAL SCHOOL CHILDREN.

State School Commissioner Kendall points out the
inferiority of the education of children in the rural
schools to that of children in the city schools and
states the These exist simply in the differ
ence of opportunities for city and rural children.
And this difference is due to the fact that city tax
payers willingly tax themselves to build, equip and
maintain good schools and the rural taxpayers do not

wanted was little red schoohouse" without ex-

1t is the business of the State to that the chill

parsimony in the rural districts should have voice

shows how unjustly the rural child is now dealt

AsrATICs IN THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The presence in France and on the line of battle
of seventy thousand newly-arrived troops from India
is something of phenomenon. All these troops are
not natives of India All the artillery and some thou
sands of the infantry and cavalry British, but
probably forty thousand are Indian Moslems or Hin
dus of the martial elements of midas population.
But that these troops should be in Europe taking
part in European is of the strangest events
unnaturally strange that the consciousness
of it rests like nightmare upon humanity. And If
the continues for several years may we not see
Asia heavily drawn upon for fighting men?
If Turkey takes hand in tho war can she not
pour hordes of Asiatcs into Europe? France can
draw upon North Africa England is probably now
raising new regiments of Ghurkas and Mahrattas to
face German cannon in Europe. Russia also has an
Asatic reservoir to draw If she needs soldiers,
and Japan may extend her military operations to
Europe. 1t is by means incredible of belief that
Japan has troops on the way to Europe.

prise and altruism of modern en-
ployers, protective devices put in
operation to secure, without friction
or resentment. the same sort of well
fare results that the federal govern
ment or State or municipality would
find difficulty in getting under way.
Tho unexpected situations created by
war have. in the past, furnished the
stimulus for new inventions and USE
full processes. The armies and ma
Yies of today represent the most eff
hcient fighting forces that the ma
lions can command. No device, no
agency that will contribute to their
power and preparedness, is willingly
neglected. Health is a prime con-
sideration in this respect Field Mar
snail Earl Kitchener is reported to
have counseled the English soldiers
to abstain from drinking while
abroad, reminding them that their
duty cannot be done unless health
is preserved. The men We're caution

mors are entirely correct. They rep
resent the current tendencies, which
are undeniable to anyone who has
watched the recent decisions of
American naval authorities in
the face of adverse criticism
couched in the usual phases
concerning personal liberty. The
truth is, that "the relation of alcohol
and fighting has been squarely met,
and the fact admitted that they are
not compatible" A recent editorial
writer has expressed this by saving
that temperate army was something
not conceived of in the old theories Of

out of place in an army as he would

TWO REAL LAWS FOR ECONOMY.

An act passed by the Legislature this year makes
1t penal ofense for State board or departmental
officer to incur expenses in of the annual ap-
preparation. This has been regularly done in the
past although forbidden by the law, and the Legs-
lature in it's supplemental appropriations at every
session has knowingly paid the unlawful excess bills.
Last year the total of obligations thus in
Cured was about 100000. The license to exceed
appropriations is temptation to extravaganza.
In another bill passed by the Legislature this
year the unrestricted power to make contracts and
incur obligations by departments and boards was
taken away The approval of the State comptroller
must now be had for any kind of expenditure, and
his approval may depend the contract price or the
quality of the goods to be delivered the work to
be done, and also on the necessity for the same.
These two acts make for economy and efficiency.
One will cut down the amounts of the supplemental
appropriations by many thousands of dollars. The
other will save the State treasury much larger
amount in the cost of supplies and contract work.
Probably in time the Legislature will come around
70 the adoption of the plan of central board for the
purchase of all State supplies

to the United States is given as 1885,,
100000, or about $4,000, 900 less than in

The Pay of Clerks.

From the Washington Star.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate providing for the cutting of all
government salaries for one year on
account of the extraordinary condi-
tions resulting from the war in Eu-
rope. A sliding scale is provided
calling for re auctions of from to l.
per cent, according to the size of the
stipend.
In ordinary circumstances this is
what business concern would dc
10 meet an emergency, and in truth
is Just what some business estab-
lishments in this country are doing
at present in the face of the UNI
usual state of affairs, which has
brought about a temporary halt IN
trade. But in the case of the gov
eminent it must be remembered mat,

larly, Uncle Sam is what is known IN
commercial circles as poor pay

wages have been advanced during the

WHY you HAVE RED HAIR; WHY
HAIR COLORS CHANGE.

WHY YOU HAVE RED HAIR; WHY
HAIR CoLORS CHANGE.
Red hair, an index to a warm heart
and firm beauty, has always stood for
courage, humor, health, and light
heartedness; yet the first person, be
he Cadmus or Phoenician, who
called golden tinted coiffures red
must have been color blind. OF
course, true scarlet or vermillion
locks have been occasionally report
ed as anomalies, just as blue hair is
seen in workers in cobalt mines and
in indigo works; green hair in copper
smelters; deep red hair in handlers of
aniline dyes and vermillion paints.
DR.. oRosse, for example, saw two in
stances of grass green hair in men
employed in a brass foundry.
New born babies at times have
tufts of hair of strange colors and
DIR. Schenck describes a red-headed
boy with a beard perfectly snow
white in color. Examples of red hair
changing to white are all doubtful,
but Professor Brown Sequard, the
great Psychologist said that one or
two hairs in his own beard changed
overnight to white, so he did not
doubt that fright might really turn a
whole beard of black hair white.
Byron mentions this peculiar
anomaly in the opening stanzas of the
"Prisoner of Chillon,' whose living
counterpart was Ludovico Sforza.
my hair is gray, but not with years.
Nor grew it white
In a single night,
AS mans have grown from sudden
fears"
Why Hair Changes Color.
The hair is apt to undergo certain
changes of color due to injury or
disease, especially to the shaft or
blade in which the human pigment or
coloring matter lodges. The French
physician, Dr. Albert, reports pa
tient, Mr.. James B, born with
brown hair, which was lost after a
spell of typhoid fever. When it again
grew out, there appeared crop of
the brightest red growth in it's place.
This rare instance is duplicated by
a very singular one, published over
hundred years ago. A young woman,
whose hair was as fair as airy, fairy
Lillian's, was afflicted with malady
possibly malaria-and her hair as
sumed tawny red color as often as
she fell i'll with this fever There ere
numerous early examples of girls and
men whose black and blond hair
turned red. 1t is strange that no
authentic cases have been reported in
the last fifty years.

prrING TAXES ON THE MoroRIsT.

1t is estimated that of the gasoline used in the
United States only 25 per cent. is consumed by the
motorcar and nearly all the rest by engines. By
shifting the from gasoline to motor-cars Con-
gress therefore will add about rs per cent to the
tax on the motorcar which in effect will pay the
whole tax.
AS motor subject to State taxation
this makes double tax. Gasoline has no State tax,
and, freed from the proposed war tax, 1t goes I'M
taxed while the motorcar is subjected to double
tax However taxes may be imposed, they always
come down upon the ultimate consumer and it is the
motorst who will have to pay the tax.
