Healthier Children Campaign Advo.
Gated.

Healthier Children Campaign Advo-
Gated.
Dr. True of Auburn, Maine, in con-
sidering the marvellous success Of
Healthier Children Campaigns in
scores of cities and towns. sets down
some mighty good advice that should
be of value to every mother.
Here's how DR.. True puts it: Child
health, like charity, begins at home.
There are many instances when a
mother Overlooks some small illnesses
or notices them only as ordinary child
ailments. For instance, child is i'll
humored, has a foul breath, is con-
stipated and exhibits host of other
small and hardly noticeable ailments.
In fact. these lead to numerous COM
plications and, if the cause is not re-
moved. the result often means disas-
trous ailments"
DR.. True has made thorough study
of childrens diseases and attributes
most of these ailments to the one dis
ease-worms. He claims that every
child is subject to this disease. and
ei4e't Al iiiotHeiS "ouiu edhe PieSau
tons against it, children's Affections
would be greatly reduced. And not
only children are susceptible to this
detriment, but adults also.
DR.. True's unexcelled knowledge Of
this dreaded disea Sc called worms,
has enabled him to produce a remedy
that will expel these ''life-sappers."
1t is known as Or. True's Elixir the
Family Laxative and Worm Expeller,"
and sells at all leading drug stores.
This old family remedy has been on
the market since 1S51.-Adv.

EMIL SCHMIDT HELPS
PAROLED GERMANS

Emil Schmidt, of Palisade, who went
down to New Orleans after his recent
illness from typhoid pneumonia, says
ne had great time seeing the
Crescent City, which he has visited
many times before. He was ON the
same steamship on his return that
brought a party of about one hundred
Germans who had been paroled by
the British government from New
Guinea. AS Mr.. Schmidt is chief of
the commissary department of the
Morgan Line plying between New
York and New Orleans, he was able
to direct the culinary forces of this
particular voyage and took no little
pleasure, he says, in catering to the
tastes of the Germans who had not
been able to get great deal in New
Guinea in the way of luxuries. The
paroled Germans We're profoundly
grateful for the attention they re-
ceived at the hands of the Morgan
Line through Mr.. Schmidt. Mr..
Schmidt says New Orleans is rapidly
building into a greater commercial
center than ever 1t is one of the
worlds most beautiful cities.

Clifside Park
Borough Shape
And Geography.

In last weeks Palisadian it was
shown that the surface of Cliffside
Park borough was made up of three
folds, or ridges, running north and
south. The Palisades, themselves,
however, run in nOrtheasterly direc-
ton; thus, the surface ridges run at
diagonals to the cliff edge. 1t is for
this reason that Gorge road following
the ravine between the two largest
hills is seen on the borough may run
ming diagonally from the edge, and
cutting across the three up and down
highways. Anderson avenue, the
Palisade railroad and Palisade ave-
nue. at slant, Dallytown road, too,
on the west is shown running parallel
to these other three highways. AS
pointed out in a previous article the
borough is cut in two, crossWays, at
the middle, by the through going
EdgeWater road. On each side of this
road, north and south, are fifteen
cross streets, making thirty cross
streets in all for the borough. At
the extreme southern end of the Dor
ough is the through going cross
street, Bulls Ferry Road, while just
above the northern end is the cross
line of the Hudson River railroad. 1t
would be quite interesting to know
how many of the borough's eleven
hundred school children know the
names of all the thirty cross streets,
or could draw street map of their
own community. How many of the
old Children, too, would be able to do
so?
There are some spots in Cliffside
Park which might be called beauty
spots; others are not so desirable.
The eastern rampant with its world
famous panorama of the Hudson
ranks first in point of desirableness,
while in other sections are neighbor-
hoods which might almost be called
slummy. Other sections, by their
sincere endeavors to create real archi-
lecture, have earned a reputation for
something of exclusiveness. Other
sections have just homes.

Palisade Youth,
Beaten, Forms
De Luxe Bread Line

Este Flagge, Of Palisade, is a
member of the Omega Rho Alpha, a
boys society at Englewood High
School. The club presented two one
act farces last year, and because Of
their success, made plans to give per-
formances of several new short plays
this year. At the same time, The
PickWick Club, a girls organization,
expressed its desire to enter into dra-
MATES. Accordingly, joint COM
mittee, composed of members of the
two clubs, was appointed to make all
necessary arrangements. Este, be-
cause OF the interest he has always
shown in the line of histrionic art,
was made chairman of the committee.
After several meetings had been
held, complaints began to come in be-
cause, since the meetings were held
directly after the close of school, and
since they took so long, the various
members were forced to forego or de-
lay the pleasure of their regular mid
day meal. So our youthful chairman,
having planned to have a meeting Of
the committee on Tuesday last, made
elaborate preparations for the COM
fort of the members. He spent a
large part of Monday preparing and
wrapping in oil paper eighteen fine
cream cheese and walnut sandwiches.
These he carried to school in high
glee, when 10 and behold, the meeting,
for some unforeseen reason, had to
be called off! Poor Este was in a
predicament, but he gathered the
boys around him, formed bread line,
and dealt out the results of his labors
generously.

Tried For Murder, Acquitted
In Spite OF Partial Confession.
Strange Case Of Garrett Sagg, Of Paterson Charged
With Killing Aged Watchman at BOgota Paper Mill
Last Christmas Eve, Robbery And Game of Craps

Garrett B. Stage, of Paterson, who
was tried last week in Hackensack
for the murder of Louis Il. Walters,
acquitted on Saturday. The Hack
ensack Record had this to say OF
the case:
The trial was OF particular interest
on account Of the nature Of the crime
and the fact that Stage was alleged
to have confessed to having struck
Walters with beaten stick for the
purpose of robbery. This, it was
said, was prior to Stages knowledge
of Walters death.
Justice Parker early in the proceed
ings ruled that the confession could
not be used, as it was not what the
law calls voluntary.
There is no doubt but that the YER
dict hinged entirely on the alleged
confession, as the only other eyl-
dence that could be produced by the
State was entirely of circumstan-
tial nature, no one having seen the
commission of the crime.
The verdict of the jury was in
accordance with Justice Parker's
charge. He told them that in his
opinion, Stagg was either guilty Of
first degree murder or of nothing al
all.
E. G. Erion and James De Turck,
Of counsel for the prisoner, handled
the case with ability and presented a
strong argument for the elimination
of the confession in which Justice
Parker evidently concurred.
1t might be added that Justice
Parker showed to the jury that under

Palisades Park Wins
Basket Ball Honors

Last Saturday night, at the Hack
ensack Armory, before one of the
largest crowds that ever attended a
basketball contest, The Arrow Ath-
letic Club, for the second consecu-
tive year, won the championship OF
Bergen County Basketball League, by
defeating the Spartan Five of Tea
neck, in one of the fastest and most
exciting games seen in the vicinity
by score of II to Is.
A remarkable feature of the con
test, and one that no doubt is re
sponsible for the large gathering of
basketball enthusiast, outside of the
loyalty of the two teams, is the fact
that both teams have gone through
the League Schedule with only one
defeat apiece, each having defeated
the other. The Arrows defeated the
Spartans on the Arrow Court II TO
II, and in turn the Spartans defeated
the Arrows on Spartan Court 10 to g.
The Bergen County Basketball
League started with eight teams, but
the season was still young when the
race narrowed down to three teams;
the Arrow A. c., Spartan Five of
Teaneck, and Guthrie Five Of West
Englewood The other five teams,
Teaneck Club, Bergenfeld's Y. M. c.,
Dumont, Company G., of Hackensack,
and Bogota Boat Club, were soon
eliminated from the race. The
Guthrie Five, while it won all its
games from the other teams, met
double defeat at the hands of the two
League leaders, which put them out
of the running also, although the
games were hard ones and strongly
contested.
Last Saturdays contest, not only
decided the championship, but also
decided the supremacy between these
two teams.

Old Soldier Makes Good Fight.

Early last Sunday morning George Watt, night jailer, al most lost his life while attempt ing to lock sneak. thief in the county jail. -.
 Watt about two o'clock caught a man, an unknown Mex ican, in the basement of the court house, and was in the act of opening the door to the jail, when he was attacked in a mur- derous manner by the early morning prowler.
 The thief slashed the officer four times with razor, twice on the neck, on the left arm and on the back. Watt grappled with the would be murder, not withstanding the fact that he was terribly wounded and bleed ing profnsely. He put up such a splendid fight that the fiend dropped tue razor and ran into the night, making his escape to Mexico before Sheriff Nc Knight, who had been called by the wounded jailer, could reach the jail, which looked like a slaughter house.
 The sheriff telephoned to Dr. Chenoweth and immediately started after the fleeing Mex ican.
 The doctor dressed the officers wounds and took him to the St. Joseph's hospital, where he is getting along fine, and will re- cover.
 George Watt, who is an old soldier, deserves a lot of praise for the splendid fight he made, against great odds.

FRANCHISE REMINDERS,

-?1. Remember that the Noga- les Electric Light, Ice x Water Go. have their fingers crossed when they talk in favor of com petition. They fought competi- tion last year when the Interna- tional Gas Company's franchise was granted, and they are fight ing it now under the guise of clamoring for it. If they want competition for your sake, why have they offered to sell out to the International Gas Company?
 2. Remember l.. w. Mix has filed a sworn statement in the last few days, in the court, that his company has the right to Orerate without a franchise, and will so operate and compete with the International Gas Company whether the franchise is grant ed or not.
 3. Remember the poor ser vice you have had for years from the Nogales Company's plant which their officer now ad- mits before the Corpor ation Com mission to have been junk" and that for years and up to the present time you have paid near ly twice as much for electricity as the rates under the franchise with the International Gas Com pany now holds, and which will be in effect on the completion of their plant. Let the quality of the service for the past week remind you of the inadequacy of the Nogales company's new plant, which they propose to use under the franchise.
 4. Remember that the munich pal ownership clause in the new franchise adds nothing to the rights of the town. and may be inserted to prepare for the un- loading of a poor plant on the town through it's pui chase by the town council.
 5. Remember the franchise now in existance provides lower rates than the one you are ask ed to vote for by the Nogales company. Also remember that the small user is the man who needs protection and rot the larger user and the franchise of the International Go. protects this man.
 6. Remember that if it were not for the International Gas Go. you would have no prospect of lower rates, and that you owe something to the International Gas Company.
 REMEMBER TO VOTE NO. adv.
