Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified to successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than DE-.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The cases that
come to him run into many thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes to any one man. DE-. Pierce found
that in nearly every case there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in those
feminine disorders from. which so many
women suffer. He combined these roots
and herbs into a temperance medicine
that he called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription. This medicine is sold in both
liquid and tablet form by druggists every
where. A weakly, sickly, backachy, head
achy, nervous, respondent woman, with
regular or irregular pains-with feminine
disorders that come in youth or middle
AGES pretty sure to find in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription the exact remedy
that her condition calls for.

PUT THE PROGRAM ACROSS

The determination on the part of the Board of Health to
carry out its program for q clinic, milk station and a complete
new sanitary code will have the backing of the people. The
aldermen have already promised substantial help and 1t is IN
derstood that an effort was to be made to secure what remains
in the relief fund raised at the time of the influenza epidemic
for this purpose. The hospital was to have made a contribu-
ton as well as furnish the site for the clinic, but since the hos
SHal association has decided to have nothing to do with the
Mimic that part will have to be supplied elsewhere.
1t would seem, however, that as the money that the hos
3ial uses is mainly funds furnished by the public in one way
or another, it ought to be willing to assist in this most i'm
portant work toward improving the health of the city. The
association at first showed a willingness to work with the
health board in this matter, believing the clinic a good thing.
Why the change?
incidentally, it L might be noted that the hospital was per-
fectlv willing to combine the Board of Health laboratory with
the laboratory at the hospital, but it would seem that that, too,
had fallen through. +.
II is most unfortunate that there is such a situation exist
ing ia this city over health affairs. The hospital is an institu-
ton in which the people justly take much pride and there
ought to be the utmost cooperation between it and the Board
OF Health in all health matters. Possibly when the officials of
The hospital come to think the matter over they will change
their mind and work with instead of against the health author
tiles. especially when the health officials are actually trying
to do something to improve conditions.

LETTERS FOR PUBLICATION

A few days ago the EVENING NEWS received a letter on
the subject of prohibition signed merely by the initials =. p
Another letter with the same signature followed taking US
to task for not publishing the first letter. Now if .. P" VIII
write a third letter signing his full name as an indication OF
good faith his first letter will gladly be published,
The EVENING NEWS has never refused to publish any
letter that it has received no matter whether the letter agrees
with the policy of this newspaper or not, when it knows VINO
the writer is and that the letter has been written in good faith.
In fac, we have even strained a point in this respect anu nave
published letters opposing our own ideas when we had some
doubts as to the writer, merely to give everyone a lar snow
Some letters come in with a name signed, but the person is IN
known to us and is not to be found in the city directory, yet
we sometimes take a chance, judging from the writing ana
the tone of the letter, as to its authenticity.
We have repeated so often in these columns that no at
tention will be paid to unsigned communications that we felt
it hardly necessary to say it again, still we have several letters
on hand now that have no signatures, merely initials being at
the bottom, and probably the writers are wondering why they
are not published or are accusing us of Withholding them be-
cause the letters do not agree with the policy of the EVENING
News.
But unserupulous persons have taken advantage OF our
1iberality in the matter of publishing letters and have not only
signed afake, names, but have had names of citizens typewrit-
ten at the bottom, which, although not an actual signature,
have given the appearance of being genuine. Because Oh thlS
cowardly deception the EVENING NEWS must insist that not
only shall the name of the writer of the letter be signed, but 1t
must be in writing and it must bear the address of the writer
for the purpose of identification. Furthermore, any letter that
attacks another person or criticzes public officials must have
the name of the writer published along with the letter. This
we consider only fair to the person criticized that he may know
who his critic is. Tt is so easy to say harsh things about a man
behind his back, or through the press when it is possible to
hide ones identity behind some nom de plume.
Write your letters, ladies and gentlemen, and say any
AAgyo7rw want % as long as it is not fbelorS and lie HTVfi1A4SffSHvu
NEWS will gladly publish them provided they are properly
signed with the name and address of the sender, the name ana
address to be published along with the letter If any PERSONAL
ties are INDUCED in, otherwise the name will not be published
IL the request is made not to do so.

AROuT CITY PLAN

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Don't you think the ideas of the
people should be sought on a city
plan? BY hat 1 mean that they sub
NIT their ideas and the city employ
an expert to combine the most prom
Using.
Your idea as expressed in your ed
itorial in Saturdays paper is the best
that I have heard.
With a around the dock peo-
pie seek healthy (?) recreation in the
water at Elsberg's beach at the foot
of High street.
Then to add to the pleasures of
the people enjoying the pleasure of
the water at SeAead's and Bayard's
beaches we accommodates them with
i q sewer az the foot of Lewis street;
| and to make SUR they miss nothing
| on the outgoing tide we have n at
the foot of Gordon street, although
there are docks between it and the
| beaches.
In. reference to your ideas about
| Ia dock. The location you name De-
tween the Central railroad bridge and
| High street is ideal, having access TO
| both railroad and channel.
I understand the garbage contract
| was let with a clause to the effect
\ that there would be a reduction ii
| the city provided the dumps.
The Gregory tract beyond riparian
| rights has wrecks sunk low in the
mud which would not pay to remove
| Why not obtain federal permission to
dock in beyond riparian rights so as
to include these wrecks? The dock
| ing in would cost more than h a v
ing it would give the city by provid-
ing dumping grounds, but the value
of the property which this action
would give the city is inestimable.
Let the NEWS cheer up. Some
day the city "daddies" may wake up
to the fact hat the city is not what
it was when they were shooting
marbles and playing hockey" Thai
it has advanced from a residential
town and has become a city second
to none in this section in size, indus
tries, wealth and importance.
But when it m to advances
along other lines, such as transport
tation, both train, trolley and boat,
or development of docks, recreation
centers, parks hat aren't jokes. or
armories for our New Jersey State
Militia Reserve, we are far behind
the most backward city of our size.
Your fight-for a city plan has made
an impression on the most intelligent
and progressive element in the city
| but you have to hammer and ham,
mer hard before it sinks in.
Yours for a city plan hat keeps
pace with the city.

PROBLEM STILL WITH US

The hot spell has been broken, but that is no reason for
forgetting the awful congestion at the tiny bathing beaches in
this city last week. Perth Amboy needs a city plan at once
in order that the beautiful stretches of sandy beaches owned
blythe city but made useless by sewers, can be turned over to
the enjoyment of the people.
A city plan will solve the much mooted question of what
part of the shore front shall be used for commercial purposes
and what part shall be devoted to recreation. This is the big
gest question now confronting Perth Anaboy and the sooner
il is tackled and the right solution found the better it will be-.
Perth Amboy cannot hope to maintain her reputation as a
pacemakingc city If she is going to continue to ignore the pres
et conditions along the Yates 'front.'

the parties to the establishment, as q
part of the League organization, or q
permanent Bureau of Labor, IN fur-
therance of an effort to secure and
maintain fair and humane conditions
of labor in the countries of the
League and those with which they
should have commercial and indus
trial relations.
Before the revised Covenant was
adopted, the Commission on Interna-
tional Labor Legislation, appointed by
the Peace Conference, had submitted
a report recommending the establish
ment by the League of a permanent
organization for the promotion OF IN
ternational regulation of labor condi-
lions. With hat in view, there was
substituted for Article Xxx a new Ar
ticle XXIIIs reading as follows:
Subject to and in accordance with
the provisions of international con-
ventions existing or hereafter to be
agreed upon, the members OF the
league (a) will endeavor to secure
and maintain fair and humane condi-
tions of labor for men, women and
children both in their own countries
and in all countries to which their
commercial and industrial relations
extend, and for thai purpose will es-
tablish and maintain the necessary in
ternational organizations; Obj under
take to secure just treatment of the
native inhabitants of territories under,
their control; Co will intrust the
league with the general supervision
over the execution of agreements
with regard to the traffic in women
and children, and the traffic in opium.
and other dangerous drugs; I'D will
intrust the league with the general su-
pervision Of the trade in arms and
ammunition with the countries in
which the control of this traffic is nee
essary in the common interest; (e)
will make provision to ecure and
maintain freedom of communication
and of transit and equitable treatment

are chafed and wearied by their load, and lost r foundered

his curves I find he's like the rest of us-he only gets what he de-
serves. He lis a gent who sanely plans to gain AN honor n DUCK;
and 81 he climbs, while also ram + grumbhng soreiy u ms uck.
He is a husting delegate who is resolved to work and win; n

wholesome ardor never flags, he yields to n fell circumstance; wnh
human failures shake their rags and say they never had a chance.
