Local Democratic Party Hardly
 Seems to Know Who Is Who.

The chaotic condition in the ranks of the local democrats still prevails. The resignation of several members of the committee last week following the announcement of Sheriff George H. Gabb of his appointm as dep nty sheriffs, still holds, and there has been no steps taken to fill these va cancies. A number of the committee men have not as yet signified whether or not they would join with the "pouters'' in leaving the ranks. The remnant of the committee has no chairman or secretary, and the ques- tion as to who accepts the resigna- tons is now raised. Should it be deemed necessary to call a meeting of the democratic town committee, there is much speculation as to who will have tho authority to do SO.

Hot Weather TIPS For Baby

A complete set of rules and regula-
for protecting baby life in hot
weather.
Every mother should memorize and
apply the rules to the care of her
own baby. Here they are:
Don't kiss the baby on the mouth
or allow your friends to do so.
Don't give soothing syrups to the
cross baby.
Don't give patent" cough mix
lures for a cough.
Don't fail to secure the best milk
you can afford to buy.
Don't allow flies to rest or feed on
baby's bottle or nipple.
Don't a to wash bottle and nip
pie before feeding the baby.
Don't fail, after feeding baby, to
wash bottle and nipple. DOM let the
milk bottle stand about, off the ice.
Don't fail to keep the baby's food.
when prepared, on the ice.
Don't fail to feed at regular pc
RODS, day and night.
Don't let the baby use a "paci-
fer" Constant sucking of a dummy
teat causes deformities and inter-
feres with baby's growth.
Don't neglect the daily care OF
baby's mouth-wash out with boric
acid after each feeding.
Don't excite the baby-eSpecially
before sleeping time or after eating,
Don't rock the baby to sleep.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-07-07

I Don't let any one sleep with the
baby.
Don't let the baby sleep in the sun
with light shining into its eyes.
Don't pick up very young babies
without supporting the back.
Don't neglect to battle the baby
daily. In summer frequent wet dips
help.
Don't fail to clean all folds of skin
and powder well. Don't let a wet bib
Or wet cap string chafe baby's neck.
Don't keep baby In the house; fresh
air is necessary for growth.
Don't permit flies to bother baby
when sleeping; use a net.
Don't fail to screen in the windows,
particularly in the nursery, against
flies and insects.
Don't forget that babies nursed by
their mothers milk and given plenty
of fresh air, have three times the I'D
vantage over others in escaping diar-
lrhoea, pneumonia and children's in
lfections.
Don't expect a quiet, composed,
healthy baby unless o do your part
thoroughly and constantly.
Don't forget that a mother who
thinks her milk is not right or sufi-
cient for her baby may secur medi-
lcal advice on how to improve it in
both quality and quantity-she should
consult her private physician or go to
the Offices of the Department of
Health, or clinic at the library.

FIRST ARTICLE.
BY LUCY COTTON,
Star of Cup in Mabel's Room"

oNdF VI Up III NldDeiS tOOO4H.N
The question of what men like most
and best in women is to me easy to
answer. 1t is, of course, beauty.
There has been a change of attitude
toward the question of beauty. Once
it was looked upon Is a dangerous
gift to any woman But we are begin
ming to realize hat beauty's mission
is an exalted one. and that it is the
duty of every woman to be as beauti-
full as she can.
1t is simply human nature for every
woman to desire to be beautiful, to
wish for love and admiration, be-
cause she knows that this is the path
to h love of man, and If there is a
single-woman who does not desire to
win the affection and love of a man,
she is an abnormal woman and a be
counted out of the question.
And as a girl grows into woman
hood, all of her experiences teach her
inevitably hat her success in winning
favor depends upon hat most potent
influence Of physical beauty.
OF course mere physical beauty
without moral beauty is useless. But
when beauty of person is united with
beauty of character, that is a combi-
nation that no man can resist.
Man cannot help but be attracted
most strongly by beauty in woman,
The race has developed because OF
this fact. Beauty mas developed in the
natural course of evolution, because
women admired strength and men ad-
mired beauty. Of all the attractions
of women for men, beauty stands first
n she who would attract a mate
must bear this in mind. Her first
! duty Is to be beautiful.

RAN true FORM
Nothing Really Remarkable About
This Tree.
Considering Its Variety and the Place
Whence 1t Comes, II Could
Hardly Avoid Having a
Criminal Nature.

The Boston Globe. in its odd Items"
column, prints an item about a tree
which absorbed some Of a rail fence.
We have lost the item, SO we don't
know where this tree was, or Is, but
1t couldn't have been anywhere near
Harmony, Me-, says the Lewiston Jour
nal. If 1t had. the owner would
have had the nerve to mention 1t In
the face of the remarkable perform
ances of a tree that stood on the land
Of a relative of ours.
Our relative had been a soldier in
farm he brought to 1t a number OF
shrubs, trees and flowers collected
in his wanderings about the earth.
This particular tree of which I speak
was of the Thievohunnish variety, and
came from Prussia.
1t grew rapidly after 1t was set out
and crowded out all other growing
stuff for 20 feet around. In ten years
it was three feet through, and IN Is,
four feet through at the base.
The peculiar thing about this tree
was not its rapid growth, however.
Let us explain. Our relative built a
h~arbed-wire fence by this tree and to
save driving a post nailed 1t to the
tree. Well, the ends of the fence be-
gan to disappear, Our relative thought
someone was shipping off the ends of
the wire for some reason. His wife
was of the opinion that the wire had
too much wool in 1t and was shrinking
In the dews and rains. In any case
from 10 to 20 feet of the wire would
disappear every night.
My relative finally gave it up, and in
about two weeks the wire had disap-
peared entirely and the mystery was
greater than ever. We simply couldn't
trace it.
Then we began to miss articles left
heal the tree. A hired man left a
scythe in its branches n night. The
next morning it was gone.
Some one left a pail near by and
that disappeared.
Finally the matter was brought to a
climax when the blooded bull calf
which had been tied to a stake near
this tree vanished during the night.
Ahout this time my relative noticed
that there seemed to be an extraneous
growth Of some sort of about six feet
above the butt of the tree. he began
to have his suspicious about this tree.
He determined to sacrifice the tree to
satisfy his curiosity. He got an ak
and chopped 1t down. Inside the tree
was the scythe, hundreds Of yards Of
barbed wire, the partially dismem-
bered carcass Of the calf, pals, stones,
a pair of o~veraIls, one oyershoe and
many other articles.
The tree had a criminal nature and
developed a kleptomaniac streak
Everyone 0s glad to see that tree
eu& down.

WHAT THE WORLD WAR COST

The ultimate factor in war finance

necessary to use 1t. The economic
burden Of a war is not borne by capi-

banks. but by the productive power OF
the country, engaged in unproductive
consumption. For war is waste. OBJ

story, just as a consideration of popu-

first place, would be altogether false.
1t is the ability a nation has to master
and mobilize her dollars and send
them into the trenches and make them
fight, that reveals her financial power
as a military nation. Germany, with
her long preparation, her autocratic
government machinery, was able to
conscript all production for war pur-
poses, and a her economic strength
almost as speedily as she massed her
fighting men.
Great Britain and the United States,
not being versed in the science Of war
did not understand this factor. The

hmeSburg Girl Did
Her Share TOWdrdS
Winning The War

Miss Helen Clapp, of Jamesburg, is
one OF the young women who made
America win this wear. She has just
completed n of the most strenuous
acreers as a war-worker during the
period that u boys were across the
sea.
At seven o'clock on Saturday night
Good night" was the end of her SER
vice for Uncle Sam. She was chief
night telephone operator at the
JamesbilrS exchange, salesmanager at
| a jewelry store and cashier at an
other shop.
Miss Clapp has during the period
of the war held tire trying positions
that measured in hours only by the
full t~wenty-four hours of the day.
She was employed as a saleslady in
the Clark jewelry store. When the
owner was called into service instead
of selling the store she persuaded
him to retain the business. This she
managed during the day and acted
tor at the telephone exchange at
night. When the manager of the To-
cal branch of the American Stores
Company needed a cashier, Miss
Clapp was found to be capable of
handling the position as male help
was impossible to obtain at that time.
Miss Clapp hesitatingly told the re-
porter of the EVENING NEWS that
she had done on more than any good
American should do and pleaded that
no mention be made of her service.
How she managed to work twenty
four hours a day and to retain her
courtesy and energy cannot be solved
by any of her many friends. Behind
a little over a hundred pounds is
stored the material that has made the
presence of Americas womanhood so
felt during the world wide struggle.
Miss Clapp said that with the signing
of the peace terms she considered her
service also at an end. With the re-
