The kidneys are the most o~er-
worked organs of the human body. and

stiffness in the lower part of the back /;
highly colored urine: loss of appetite; !;

Quality Of Knowledge Counts.

What is needed to elevate the soul
is, not that a. man should know all
that has been thought and written in
regard to the spiritual nature-nOt
that man should become an ency-
clopedia; but that the great idea, In
which all discoveries terminate. which
sum up all sciences, which the philos-
opher extracts from infinite details,
may be comprehended and felt, quotes
William Ellery Charming. 1t is not
the quantity. but the quality of knowl-
edge, which determines the minds dig

by few great ideas, not by an infin-
ity of loose details. have known very
learned men, who seemed to me very
psor in intellect, because they had no
grand thoughts. :. The illumin-
alton of an age does not consist in the
amount of its knowledge, but In the
broad and noble principles of which
that knowledge Is the foundation and
inspirer.

Should the movement now on foot
to have the Raritan River railroad
make Perth Amboy its eastern ter
minal prove successful, boom
should be started in both real estate
and building in this city and vicinity.
This change in the terminus of the
road would bring many of the men
now employed in the factories and
powder works of Parlin, Union and
other stops along the line of the rail
road to this city, which will no doubt
make q demand for houses and
apartments as well as property for
tho0es who might wish to erect resi-
dences here.
With the ending of the zero sped
that passed over this section the past
few weeks, work has again been
started on buildings in course of
erection in the city and should the
weather continue as 1t has the past
two days work on many of the places
will be completed.
The building at 20 Smith street
owned by William Voorhees, and oc-
cupied by the Perth Amboy Printing
Company is undergoing a decided
change. A new front'is being placed
in the building. and a partition run
the entire length of the store, maxi
ing two large stores out of the build
ing instead of one. The work is be-
ing done by Ira r. Grouse.
Two houses in Laurie street which
have been in course of erection for
some time are about completed. One
OF the houses is occupied, the family
moving in last week. The other will
be- ready for the resident within a
short time.

The removal Of grease spots from

One of the most practical plans Is to
sprinkle hot cOrnmeal and whiting
over the spots and leave for two or
three days, brush off with stiff brush
and repeat til! the spots are gone. On,

Real Happiness

II this world affords true happiness,
1t is to be found ina home where love
and confidence increase with years,
where the necessities of life come with
out severe strain, where luxuries enter
only after their cost has been carefully
considered. We are told that wealth
is a test Of character--few Of us have
to submit to 1T. Poverty Is the more
usual test. It is difficult to be very
poor and maintains ones selfrespect--

Piez, of Chicago, general manager of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation,

struction of the great fleet Of mer-

Piez won't build the ships himself
but he will get them built. That's

BILLY SUNDAYS PRAYER

People who have not the command of language in prayer that Billy Sunday pos scsscs might help out by praying that Bills prayer with which he opened congress by special invitation while in Washington City not long ago, might be answered. The prayer was as follows:
 "Thou bmowest, o Lord, that we are in a life and death struggle with one of the most infamous, vile, crazy, blood-thirsty, avaricious, sensual and vicious nations that has ever disgraced the pages of history. Thou kuowest that Germany has drawn from the eyes of mankind enough tears to make another sea; that she has drawn blood enough to redden every wave of that sea. We pray Thee that Thou wilt make bare Thy mighty arm and beat back that great pack of wolfsh Huns whose fangs ooze with gore. We pray Thee that stars in their courses and the winds and the waves may fight against them. Amen"

The government is appealing to news paper men throughout the country to con serve paper as there is grave danger of a shortage The same mail that brought us the appeal brought something less than a lon of stuff-that is the proper name for it-that not one man in ten thousand would read unless he was in jail and desired to lo pcuuaucc Really the 'rot' that IS be- ing sent to newspaper offices these days does not speak we'll for the intelligence of the American nation. If the average news paper would use one-tenth of the stuff sent them these days they would have no space for items from Possom Trot or any other suburban district Next to Belgian atroci- ties. the criminal waste of good paper by the government at this time is the most in- cxcusablc feature of the war And yet the war will be won by the side of right, not through these scnile publicity efforts, but i'm spite of them. Some of the literature referred to is interesting and should be given wide publicity, but the majority of 1t is imbccilic, impossible-yea, rotten.

IL is to be regretted that the Juneau schools have been forced to close owing to am epidemic of dipthcria in that city. Douglas and Trcadwcu are very close to Juneau and every care should be taken to prevent am extension of the disease to this side It would seem that the disease not being confined alone to the children, the authorities should go one step further and close the moving picture houses for the time being As a rule, the latter are poorly ventilated and offer much more opportm- ity for the spread of infection that school houses.

THAT GREAT GERMAN DRIVE

It is evident that Germany has stakeC her all on the gigantic drive on the western front. of which this is the ninth day. The most powerful death-dealmg guns and other munitions known to modern times are in use by both sides and the slaughter has been awful to contemplate.
 Confident that his hoardes would wiring victory from the situation, the kaiser and his rctimc of war lords have watched the progress of the battle and inspired thel fighters by their presence But the looked for victory has not and will not be achieved Having survived the first mighty shock John Bull. with that stolidity and solidity which has ever characterized him, is hold ing his positions most valianty and per hitting the enemy to continue on the often sivc which he is doing with an insane care lcssncss that has resulted in the death of nearly half a million men, mostly of the enemy.
 The war is being determined just now and to the mdoing of Prussianism. When the smoke of battle rolls back from the western front, while the death list will be it will be found that Democracy has triumphcd over the worst form of au- tocracy that has ever disgraced the pages of history, and in dealing with the con- quercd that essayed to rule or ruin the world. no mercy should be shown by the victors. God and humanity have both beer outraged by Prussianism.
