Coast Guards Have Taken
Over the Richmond Lunch

The Richmond Lunch Company's
restaurant at 184a Smith street has
been AXE over by the United States
Coast Guards and closed to the pub
lie. The lunch room was officially
taken over Friday morning. The
coast guards have installed their own
cooks and walters in the establish
ment and will receive the regular ra-
tons. The men of the local barracks
are much pleased with the change.
Walter Brooks Curry, of Louisville,
Kentucky, a member of the guards,
has received his rating of chief mas
ter at arms. Curry was formerly an
ordinary He has received
the highest rating possible for an en-
listed man.
Eighty men have been granted
forty-eight hours liberty.
The members OF the guard have
been invited to attend the City thea
ire this week and witness the per-
Torrance of the Jack X Lewis stock
company In THE Woman He Could
MT Buy" One hundred and fifty men
will attend the Tuesday night per-
Torrance and the balance on We'd
nesday night.
Many Questions have been asked
about the city concerning the equip
ping of the Coast Guards with rubber
boots with extra heavy soles. These
boots are supplied to protect the men
when called upon to guard NUM-
lions, as fourteen of them are now
doing in South Amboy.
The fourteen men are stationed on
barges loading at one Of the piers In
South Amboy. and are under rders
not to allow anyone without rubbers
to board the boats. The guards wear
their rubber boots while on this kind
OF duty so that there is no danger of
sparks being made. as would be the
case IL the nails of their regulation
shoes came In contact with the nails
in the boat or the hoops on the kegs
that contain the explosives.

"A Cure that's worse than the
Disease. :,
!: Mixed with the helpful informa-
tion in the popular scientific papers
is a good deal Of battery advice that
should be followed. Read it if you
will-but don't take it too seriously
until you have an expert opinion.
|. This sound advice is given to car
owners by Mr.. Henderson, local Will
lard expert.
every once in WHILE" says Mr..
Henderson, "there appears in one of
these publications an article describ-
ing in detail just how sulphating of
plates can be cured after it had been
allowed to proceed. Of course ev-
cry battery user knows that sulpha-
ton, if allowed to gain Roadway, is
injurious to plates, and most every
one knows that it can be cleared up
by special charging process. Ac-
cording to the magazine articles,
there is another and much similar
way, which involves doctoring the
batteries.
WTlItTS VI tucSc IdIhCI LiioiCouAh6
articles in battery cures usually go on
to explain how some very simple
chemical can be added to the battery
to produce results that seem little
short of wonderful. Usually the in
structions are made vague enough
and enough 'ifs" and "howevers"
and qualifying phrases put in to
make you think that it is your own
fault if through trial Of the cure
you succeed in running your battery.
Most of the writers of these popu-
lar battery articles play safe by be-
ing rather indefinite.
As a matter of fact there is no
material that can be put into a bait
terry to cure ills that have been caused
by neglect or abuse. The best course
to follow is to have your battery in
spected every week or two by an ex-
pert, which would enable you to steer
entirely clear Of any serious trouble.
If for any reason this is not done the
one thing to remember is that the
only remedy for battery trouble is
pure water, charging and, finally, ex-
pert attention at the hands of man
who knows the business. Chemicals
and extra acid never do anything but
ruin batteries.
