HIS GRATITUDE
Vast Improvement in Hindley'S
Condition is Credited
to TanIaC.

81 no longer feel the need for medt-
cine" said Jos. II. Hindley, of 7S Lin
coin avenue. Trenton, in recent inter-
view with the Tanlac Man. Thanks
to Tanlac I'm feeling fine again, and
you can use my statement publicly as
an expression OF my gratitude.
Il was q sufferer from catarrh which
affected my whole system. Indigestion
and backache were the worst things l
had to contend with. The most simple
foods disagreed with me, and for some
time / had to live on such fare as milk
and toast
Last December had a severe attack
of grippe. l lost all appetite and my
stomach became very weak. Ny chest
was sore and my bones ached dread
fully. This went on for quite a while.
Some time ago a fellow employe at the
Lenox Pottery told me about Tanlac,
saying 1t was splendid corrective for
catarrh.
Three bottles of the preparation
I'm now free from pain in my chest,
back or stomach. I'm eating solid
foods now and digesting them without
sign of Indigestion. My appetite Is
good, my sleep sound and restful, and
no catarrhal conditions are notice
able"
Thousands of Jersey people have
found Tanlac the finest of reconstruct
i've tonics. Its freedom from drugs
and minerals commends it to the most
conservative and substantial persons
in the city. Tanlac is new being ex-
planned in Perth Amboy at the

mans Pharmacy. South River; Chas:

STATUE OF LIBERTY

1t was indeed an impressive sight
sands OF people afloat and ashore III
New York harbor Saturday night
when the Statue of Liberty was IL
Illuminated from base to torch, 10
stand aglow in darkness as we'll es
during the day as a symbol of the
great ideal of this great republic.
What volume of meaning there
is in that word liberty"
How few there are of us who fully
comprehend it!
1t was for liberty that our fore
fathers fought, and it is this liberty
that we must preserve. 1t is the
liberty of the common people-the
masses-that must be upheld. We
must never have a so-called superior
class ruling over US.
Perhaps there are times when we
make mistakes. Perhaps. upon oc-
casions, few highly trained gentle
men of culture could do a great deal
better for the nation than by leaving
1t to the people as whole; but such
power is dangerous. Rather the
mistakes with liberty than govern
ment without it.
But there is no guarantee that the
favy paptIamap of suparior o,,,tu,o
who some think would run the gov
ernment better than the masses, will
not make mistakes They are human.
When mistakes are made by the
people as whole they can take their
own medicine like men. When the
people fall victims Of the mistakes Of
a select few they are no better than
slaves.
President Wilson struck the key
note of liberty in his speech at the
dinner following the illumination of
the statue Saturday night when he
said:
with all due and sincere respect
for those who represent other forms
of government than ours, perhaps /
may be permitted to say that peace
cannot come so long as the destinies
of men are determined by small
groups who make selfish choices of
their own"
That is what is the trouble with
Europe today. Tyrants control the
destinies of nations there and the
people are mere cannon fodder
1t is fitting at this time that our
priceless liberty should be impressed
upon us in such a forceful manner
as it was Saturday night. May the
statue that graces New York harbor
continue always as an inspiration to
all mankind.

PERTH AMBOY'S INTEREST

Perth Amboy is vitality interested
along with the other New Jersey
cities included in the New York
harbor district, in the fight being
made over the lighterage charges in
connection with freight rates. At
the present time New York is re-
ceiving a decided advantage over
New Jersey in the fact that all
freight reaching terminal points on
the New Jersey shore is lightered to
any part of New York, including the
Brooklyn shore, without additional
charge. In otherA words, q manufac-
turer having raw material delivered
at his plant in Newark pays Just as
much for freight as does the manu-
facturer in Brooklyn, although the
freight bound for the latter place
must be unloaded from cars and
taken in boats across New York bay
before it reaches its destination
New York. at the present time, is
making great preparations for the
upbuilding of what is known as
Jamaica Bay section. 1t is planned
to make that point a great terminal

THE CITY BUDGET

If the Board of Aldermen can hold
-6ownsr~r6e annual budget of the
comiffg year to the figures announced
following the committee meeting
Friday night, it viii be accomplish
ing a great work. There is good
reason to believe that the city can be
run for the amount stated without
curtailing any of the Improvements
that are going on. 1t will mean a
more businesslike management of
public affairs and cannot help but
have an important bearing on the tax
rate.
With the rate at $3.50, as it has
reason for complaint. Under careful
management the city ought to be run
in a progressive manner at a much
lower cost. A cooperation on the
part of the citizens in helping the
Board of Aldermen to keep within
the figures stated, with the object IF
bringing down the tax rate, will mean
a great deal in the success of tho
effort being put forth.
If the aldermen can maintain the
present standard of the city in the
matter of Improvements, and at the
same time show a reduction in the
tax rate next year, the board will he

the shipping on the Jersey shore,
while it would be necessary to lighter
all the freight from the New JERSEY
terminals across New York harbor to
Jamaica Bay.
Practically all the money that the
government has spent on New York
harbor has been on the New York
side, greatly to the detriment of New
Jersey interests. This has caused
most of the shipping to go to the
New York side of the harbor. Natur-
ally, if the shippers can get the same
freight rates on the New York side
and, at the same time, secure deeper
water and the added facilities afford
ed by the government, manufacturers
and shippers are going to shun New
Jersey and go to New York.
New Jersey is at last aroused to
the importance of the question, and
Is insisting upon deriving the ad-
vantages she is entitled to by her
natural location. All of the great
trunk railways coming in from the
West, with the exception of the New
York Central, have their terminals on
the New JERSEY shore. There is no
reason why New Jersey should not
enjoy this advantage.
New York claims that the New
ork harbor should be treated as a
unit and that all shores. no matter
in what state they be, should have
the same freight rates. But, while
the freight rates have been the same
New York has been monopoliEing al
the improvements and claiming
everything for herself, ignoring New
Jersey almost entirely. Now, wher
this state insists upon the rights that
nature has given her, New York is
preparing to fight the issue.
Perth Amboy is interested in this
fight because the waters of this vi
cinity are included in the New York
harbor plans. We have here the
nucleus for a great freight terminal
once it can be made advantageous to
shippers to come here. Naturally, II
New York is going to get all the i'm
provements and. at the same time
have as low freight rates as New
Jersey can offer, shippers are going
+ to crowd in about New York proper
The Board of Trade of this city
shows itself fully awake to the situa-
ton, and it is gratifying to know that
Perth Amboy will be represented in
the fight that is being made by the
cities on the New Jersey shore for
justice in this freight rate question.

Corrosion of Tin.

The popular idea that only acid sub
stances attack tin Is wrong. Fish, as
paragus, beans, pumpkins and spinach
are not acid, yet their corrosion of tin
Is quite marked. This is probably due to
amino compounds, substances related
to ammonia. So alkaline Is the methy-
famine contained in shrimps that work
men In the canneries find the skin peel
ing off their hands. Shrewd observa-
ton by some Gamers led to the discov-
cry that IL shrimps were iced for day
before canning the corrosive action OF
the juices were greatly diminished
This is now the universal practice. In
addition the cans are lined with paper
to prevent the contact of the shrimps
and the tin.
