Progressive Statements
Of Principles Received

The "Palisadian" acknowledges
the receipt of a copy of the circular
of the Progressive National Commit
tee containing statement of that
party's declaration of principles as
set forth at their meeting in Chicago
on January II.
The platform, which is identical
with the Progressive platform of
1912, embodies the issues represent
ing the vital needs of the national
life. These are: broader national
ism; constructive, rather then de-
structive federal regulations; business
efficiency in the ntional government;
a permanent, non-partisan tariff
commission; equal suffrage; invisible
government dethroned; an adequate
merchant marine.
The circular calls attention to the
failure of the Wilson Administration
to deal adequately with national
honor and industrial welfare, and
says that our people are seeking
leadership of the highest order
If progressive leadership is not af-
forded by President Wilson, it will
never fall to the lot of any man to
surpass him.

Wittpenn Shakes Hands
All Round At Trenton
But Won't Talk Politics

Trenton, Jan. 25.-H. Otto Witt
penn, Naval Officer at the Port of
New York, former Mayor of Jersey
City and probable candidate for Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket, was
at the State House last night smil-
ing, shaking hands with everybody
with whom he was acquainted and
getting acquainted with those he
didn't know. When asked if he was
ready to announce his candidacy for
the Governorship, he smiled broader
than ever, but refused to commit
himself.
"I have nothing to say about that
he said.
Mr.. Wittpenn called on Governor
Fielder. The Governor met him in
a pleasant smile to greet him.
"How do you do, Otto. I'm glad
to see you," said the Governor.
"Hello, Governor" replied the
Hudson county chieftain who hopes
that next January they will be call
ing him Governor.
Then the two walked into the Gov

Boys Will Be Boys
Has New Meaning
In This Section

"The Boys of Palisade" is likely to
become a watchword for the 300
other towns in the State of New
Jersey when the extent of their
young-manly activities and civic en-
deavors become more generally
known.
The Junior Civic League of Pali-
sade was formed a year or more ago
through the efforts of the Civics De-
partment of the Palisade Woman's
Club, of which Mrs. Samuel E. Darby
is the chairman. At the recent cleo
tion on Thursday, January 20, there
were fifteen members present.
The officers elected were Allan
Carson, president; Junior Jackson,
vice-president; Paul Binner, treas
urer; Martin Lyons, secretary; How
ard Lane, executive officer. The
joint committee. of the two depart
ments of the Woman's Club, the
Junior Civic League Department,
which oversees the affairs of the
League is as follows: Mrs. Samuel
e. Darby, Mrs. j. H. Bradshaw, Mrs.
~. L. Derkey, MfS. amy L. LUCAS,
Mrs. James Stewart, Mrs. August
Beckmann, and Mrs. Walter Binner.
Mrs. Darby, when interviewed this
week by the "Palisadian," said that
the movement to make boy-citizens
out of the youth Of Palisade was the
first of it's kind in the State The
boys were undertaking very import
. ant duties with relation to the "house-
keeping" of the streets, sidewalks
and vacant lots. The cleanliness of
the town was due in large measure
to its lynx-eyed youth. The move
ment, Mrs. Darby thought, had a
brilliant future.
The League is now interested in a
movement to get the cooperation
of the public schools of the State to
have their pupils save up pennies to
help toward the building of an arch
way for the beginning of the Lincoln
Highway at West Side Park, Jersey
City.
A probable result of the establish
ing of the Junior League in Pali-
sade will be shortly to create a
special department for that activity
in the State Federation of Woman's
Clubs. A Palisade lady has already
been asked to head such special
department.
All success to this interesting anc
worthy movement.

Reports No Bond Clue

Chief of police Hoeckelberg at Mon
day evenings meeting of the Cliff
side Park council board reported that
no clue had been found to the per-
petrators of the bomb outrage in the
-Sciola building at midnight on Jan
uary IL.
The chief said that the bomb was
hardly more than large fire-cracker
and had torn only small hole in the
floor. The matter was in the county
detectives hands. Both papa and
Sciola denied having received any
threatening letters.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; If what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. Do your
inside bathing Immediately upon aris-
ing in the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous days poison
Gus waste, gases and sour bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for a
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast They are as
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly.-Adv.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TC
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent theil
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un.
less the kidneys are doing their WORK
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected o.
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy is
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar
macy. It is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and $1.0O.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
