" TO RESIST GERMS

Life insurance reports indicate that more persons die of
pneumonia than any other disease.
1t used to be supposed that pneumonia germs were taken
into the lungs with the air we breathe, but certain medical au-
thorities now say that they are taken in with the food we eat
and work their way into the lungs through the blood.
But, be all this as it may, it has been pretty well proven
by the microscope that we are all the while coming in contact
with all sorts of disease germs through touch, breathing, eating
and drinking; that it is not how many nor the kind we take in,
but rather our power to resist them.
And this power of resistance depends upon the state of
our general health.
1t is just like two men taking two drinks of whiskey
apiece, one may remain sober while the other becomes howl
ing drunk. 1t is simply the power, one over the other to resist
The alcoholic poison.
This power of resistance may be constitutional, tempera-
mental or due to the state of health at the time the drinks were
taken.
While we are from time to time visited with epidemics in
the way of diseases, yet it is a well known fact that the major
iy of persons are not affected by them.
The germ of the disease epidemic is all the while flying
about and it is simply the power of resistance of those not af-
lfeeted over those who are affected.
While this does not mean that sanitary laws nor the laws
of personal health should be neglected, yet the state of mind
has a good deal to do with the power to resist disease.
The fear of disease lowers the power to resist disease.
AT the time of these ~epidemics we read and hear their
symptoms until we imagine We have the disease-our powers
I of resistance are lowered to a point of succumbing.
1t is a well known fact that when medical students first
begin reading books on physical diagnosis that they imagine
] they have all diseases described in them.
An English humorst once said that after reading a med
ical book that he had every disease in the calendar. including
housemaid's knee.
A continued fear or belief in a disease will no doubt
finally affect the body through the mind and to a lowered pow
er Of resistance, just as most of US have noticed that a sudden
fright or ft of anger will for a time, have a very manifest effect
upon the body through the digestive functions.

AL WAYS READY TO HELP

The Chamber of Commerce once mere emphasizes its i'm
portance in the community by Offering its complete organiza-
ton to the Red Gross for the campaign to be conducted
throughout the country in November. If the Chamber of Com
merce had no other purpose to serve than to be ready with a
thorough equipment for just such a purpose as this Red Gross
drive it would be well worthy of the support of everybody.
But the Chamber of Commerce has an important work to
perfom all the time whether there is a nationwide campaign
to be put across or not. 1t is here to advance the interests Of
Perth Amboy. 1t is ready to talk Perth Amboy at every oppor-
tunity. 1t furnishes a convenient medium through which the
people may express themselves ON matters of public interest.
Tt is the nucleus around which civic interests may center. 1t
affords an opportunity for men to ~straighten out their differ
enees and bring a harmony Of action that will actually accom-
plish something for the common good.
The readiness with which the Chamber of Commerce
took up the Red Gross drive proves conclusively its usefulness
to the city. To know that there is a thoroughly organized
body made up of the progressive citizens of the community al
ways available for just such purposes and anxious to serve the
community in every way possible is a matter of great satisfac-
Zion to those interested in the advancement of Perth Amboy.
Such an organization deserves all the encouragement that can
be given it.

THE ZONE SYSTEM FAIL URE

The miserable failure that the trolley zone system has
proven to be through the admission of no less a person than
Thomas n. McCarter, president of the Public Service Corpora
that the present Public Utility Commissioners are utterly unfit
for office. Any public body, the members of which are paid a
salary Of 81, 500 a year to look after the interests of the state
in regard to public utilities, that will permit such radical
changes as the zone system without first thoroughly investi-
eating the matter and getting some idea of what the outcome
into experimenting on such a costly scale means wreck and
ruin not only for the public, but for the utility company as we'll.
1t is very evident that the Public Service is grasping at
straws and, in its desperation to save itself, the public are be-
ing exploited with the full knowledge and consent of the board
that is handsomely paid by the state TO look after the peoples
interests.
AS a matter of fact, there is reason to believe that if the
Public Service officials had had a competent and efficient pub
lie utility board to deal with much of the present chaotic con-
diton could have been avoided, for the duty of the utility COM
mission is to see that utility corporations get a square deal as
well as the public. 1t has a double function to perform. In
this case, by serving the Public Service we'll and helping it to
give efficient service it would be serving the people well. The
people ask only decent service for which they are willing to
pay a reasonable price.
But the Public Service has been left to founder about as
best it could, first trying this experiment and then that, with the
Public Utility Commission looking helplessly on because it did
not possess the ability to assist. Instead of taking a leading
and commanding position as it is intended to do in all such
eases it has simply laid down and sanctioned first this and then
that experiment offered by the Public Service in its effort to
keep itself from going into bankruptcy.
Naturally everybody is wondering what the next expert
ment to be tried out on the public will be.

For now we see through a glass,
darkIy."
Have you ever looked at trees and
houses and people and things through
bits OF colored glass?
Do you remember how very mo-
notonous everything appeared-and
how sometimes your eyes ached and
your brain throbbed, especially when
you looked through a red glass?
And then you were glad that things
weren't really that awful crimson
but green and blue and all the other
colors that made the scenery beauti-
full.
Now normally, life is harmonious
It's when we~look al 1t through
the colored glasses of prejudice and
hate and bigotry that 1t become hid
eous.
That's the time men can't under
stand how others see a beautiful,
God-given green when they see only
a dismal red.
TaIk to them about the Joy of life
and they'll remind you that this is
just "a vale of tears"
Tell them that the world is getting
better. and they'll remind you OF the
war and the steel strike and the re-
cent race riots. forgetting hat only
a few centuries ago half the world
lived in slavery, and life was counted
so cheap that men were killed for
sport.
Speak to them about the develop
ment of Christian character in the
twentieth century, and they'll point
out the "hypocrfte" who belongs to
the church, overlooking the thous-
ands OF Christians who modestly live
their. lives. true to God and to man,
| or those who are fighting battles that
| would unnerve their critics.
For they "see through q glass dark
Iy'-these critics.
And then you've known people who
always use a microscope-neyer any
thing else-when they look at any
| thing.
1 by chance they should pick up a
| telescope, they look into It from the
wrong end. so that that for which
they are searching seems farther away
than ever.
The microscope has its uses.
But you cannot sea the stars

RIPPING RHYMES
BY WALT MASON
Long Ago

Long Ago
The dear old times of long ago seem lar away ana Navy,
t5s good Old times we used to know, before the world Went
raET. We tr0tted to our divers tasks, contented early rlsers,
an put oQr savings down in casks, nor fretted over kalsers.
We followed than the baseball games, and thrashed them over
Ggatly, and TO the movies took our DANES, when lights Were
gg#1ng brightly. All, life was then serene and sweet, a pleas
an, cheerful cycle; and no one had it in for Pete, or cussed
Tia zzls Of Michael. But now our RACES never stop, were
hot beneath our collars; if for an hour I cease to yawp, some
other fellow hollers. Each goter packs around a brick, and
b-zz5n knueks we carry, we take a fall from Tom to Dick,
and throw some rocks at Harry. We don't know why our
hssds are sore, we don't know why we're ratified, but still we
rant and walk the floor, as when the nations battled. Oh, for
tie happy golden days, when we sat round and twittered, and
talked whskers we could raise, and not a heart ~embittered.
Oh, for the bygone peaceful nights, when, done with daily La
bors, we smoked our pipes and few our kites, like sane and
kindly n%eighbors.

~ 10 get a glimnse of cod.

Try to get a glimpse of God.
To help you-read this passage
from the nineteenth psalm.
The heavens declare the glory OF
God; and the fFmamen showeth his
handiwork.
Day unto day uttereth speech and
night unto night showeth knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice IS not heard
Their line is gone out through al
the earth, and their words to the end
Of the world. In them hath he sc;
a tabernacle for the sun.
Which is as a bridegroom coming
out of his chamber, and reioiceth as a
strong man to run a race.
You can't be small when this grips
you. 1t will put new life and fresh
hope into you.
And here's the-closing verse In this
wonderful psalm:
Let the words Of my mouth, and the
meditation of my heart, be accepta-
bic In Thy sight, o Lord, my strength
and my redeemer.
