HEALTH ADVICE
A SQUARE DEAL

The New York City Health De-
partment has just made public the
results of an investigation of infant
deaths from diarrheal disease. bas-
ing it's findings on a careful study
of the history of 1865 deaths during
May, June. July and August.
These show that 1871 per e OF
the deaths were in babies who had
been breast-fed, while 26.9 per cent.
were in those who had been bottle
fed.
There Is, of course, nothing new
about such figures, but they cannot
be reiterated too often, so long as
mothers who are physically able 10
| nurse their babies at the breast still
deny the baby its natural right and
resort to bottle-feeding for conven-
fence.
In this connection it may be well
to remember that maternal nursing,
especially during the first few
months of life. supplies the infant
with invaluable substances which
protect the infant against disease.
Moreover, 1t has conclusively been
shown that with proper manage
| ment, very few mothers are really
| unable to breast-feed their babies.
Is your young hopeful getting a
square deal?

Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-10-06

The EVENING NEWS considers the League of Nations
not a partisan political issue. The fact that Republicans like
Taft and Wickersham ardently favor the league means that
many other Republicans feel likewise. On the other hand the
opposition by Democratic senators, such as Shields, and Reed,
means that they, too, have their following and it is In the ranks
of the Democratic party.
The matter of the United States joining the league, the
EVENING NEW holds Of such transcendant importance, that
it resumes herewith its campaign of last year for this agree
ment designed to abolish all wars by providing for:
1. Universal disarmament;
2. Abolition OF secret treaties;
8. International arbitration and s
T. Acceptance of obligation not to go to war.

DOING THINGS.

It was an inspiration TO hear
what w. N. Goodell, of Lowell. Mass,
had to say regarding the accomplish
ments Of the newly organized Cham
Der Of Commerce in that city within
the past year. What the people of
Lowell can do through cooperation
the people OF Perth Amboy can do.
There is a great deal of similarity
between the two cities. 1t Is a case
of a civic awakening and a unity of
purpose through organization.
1t is not that the people of Perth
Amboy do not realize the advantages
that the city enjoys: nearly every
body one meets will tell about some
particular attraction. that IL pro-
perry developed, would tend to make
the city greater than It is. The thing
Is to get these men with all these
ideas together. thresh them out and
begin doing something by putting
across the things that are most es-
sential at present.
Today there is in session at At
|lantic City the annual convention OF
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways AS
ISOLATION. One Of the main objects
of this organization at the present
time is the construction of a ship
canal across New Jersey from the
south shore OF Rarltan bay to the
Delaware river. We all know what
such a development would mean to
this city. The thing is to get behind
such projects as this and bring every
influence to bear to make It an ac-
complished fact. But we cannot do
this through individual effort. There
must be cooperation and organiza-
ton. The Chamber of Commerce is
the agency through which to work.
and every citizen ought TO be inter-
ested at least to the extent of being a
member.
But mere membership alone will
not accomplish very much when 1t
comes to working for a community.
Il Is the work that Is put into a move
ment that counts, as the leaders In
this campaign have been telling us
from the beginning. Suppose every
body in Perth Amboy contributed
$25 each toward booming the city
and then proceeded to forget all
about it. What would such a pile OF
money laying idle in the bank
amount to az far as boosting Perth
Amboy Is concerned? 1t Is the work
that counts. As a matter of fact, a
body of earnest men could accom-
plish much for the city without II
money. Their determination alone
would win. But with the financial
support that the membership dues
give, an energetic body of men. all
loyal to the city and having only its
best interest at heart can do any
thing they wan to.
1t 10 now for Perth Amboy. Let's
do II.

'EYE.soREs IN HEART OF CITY.


A letter from Rev. Robert schlot-
ter, pastor Of Grace Lutheran
church. published today. calls atten-
ton to q disgrace that ought to re-
ceive the serious attention of the au-
thorities. He refers to the unsightly
condition OF the vacant lots in the
heart Of the city, especially in the
vicinity OF the post ONCE. public
library and Y. M. G. A. These are
among main public buildings and
the least that can be expected is that
the surrounding property be kept in
a decent condition.
This vacant land is increasing In
value each year. The fact that such
buildings az those already mention
ed have been erected in the vicinity
has done much to increase its
value. Being unimproved property it
is reasonable to suppose that the
taxes on this vacant land are com.
paratively small. Because of what
the city is doing to increase the value
of this land for the owners, the least
to be expected from the owners in
return is that they keep the lots in a
decent condition.
As Mr.. schlotter says when strang-
ers come to visit our city we de-
light to point out to them our civic
attractions. The library, Y. NJ C. A.
and the post Office are institutions OF
which we are justly proud. But to
have these buildings, grouped as they
are, In what really amounts to a civic
center, surrounded by vacant lots
filled with debris Of all sorts makes
a very bad impression.
We all like to talk Perth Amboy
Here is an opportunity to do some
thing to make talk effective
Clean up these eye-sores in the hear
of the city.

Through the persistent barking OF
Q faithful collie dog who was trying
hard to summon the assistance of hu-
man hands, the body Of his master,
Ernest Alleman was found In the
ruins Of his dwelling that had been
destroyed by fire.
Alleman was a recluse, except for
his dog, living in the outskirts Of New
Bedford, Mass. His bungalow burned
IN the early morning, and all day long
the collie watched the charred embers,
pleading frantically most Of the time
for searchers. Ernest Pernelet finally
came to mako a casual call upon his
friend Alleman. He was greatly sur
prised to find the house In ruins. The
dog told him his troubles, and Perne-

HIRAM EVIDENTLY A SNORER
Faithful Wife Thought She Rec.
ognIzed Porcine Lamentations az
Made by Her Lord and Master.

An amazingly fat couple boarded q
sleeping car Just before the train
pulled out of the Pennsylvania station
in New York, and soon retired, the
woman taking the lower berth and the
man the upper Of section. 1t was
necessary to enlist the aid Of the por-
ter and a couple Of friendly passen-
gers to enable the man to attain to
his lofty couch, but 1t was accom-
plished and the car presently became
quiet.
Some time during the night the
train was held up on a siding and, as
1t happened, the sleeping car was
stopped right alongside car loaded
with uncomfortable and loudly protest
ing hogs, the noise Of whose lamente-
lions assembled to the stars.
"Oh, Lord I" the occupant Of the low
er berth was heard to moan. "Just
listen to that! Hiram has started to
snorin' and I can't get up there to
make him turn Overt"

Historical Parks Planned.

Sites of historical trails, camps and
backgrounds In North Dakota will
be marked by parks and monumental
tablets, according to the plans Of pa
triotic organizations.
DR.. Melvin r. Gilmore. curator OF
the North Dakota Historical society,
recently announced the acquisition OF
additional tracts made famous by psc"
neering expeditions. Iha sites have
been purchased by communities in
which they are located and the his
torical society has been made trngtea
for them. This procedure will be fol-
lowed by communities as rapidly as
new sites are found to be Of unusual
value historically. Eventually each
park will contain a plat Of ground In
which only the native crops, plants
and grasses Of the Indians will be
grown. It is planned also to provide
each with specimens Of animals.

JOHNSON WINS
IN CALIFORNIA
Manager For Hoover Comedies
State To Opponents Dele
gates By Large Majority.
WOOD LEADS IN INDIANA
No Majority For Any One Candidate
indicated Which Means Unin-
structed Delegations to Ma
tIonal Convention.

San Francisco-Delegate pledged
to support Senator Hiram w. John
son for the presidential nomination at
the Republican national convention
maintained their early lead over the
group pledged to the candidacy of
Herbert Hoover according to late re-
turns from presidential preference
primary in California.
On the basis of returns throughout
the state, Johnson will lead Hoover by
10000 votes, If the same ratio is
maintained.
Ralph p. Merit, campaign manager
for Hoover, has conceded the election
of the Senator Johnson group of dele
gates.
Like good sportsmen, we concede
the victory and congratulate the win
ner," he said.
"The issue represented by Hoover
will continue to command the atten-
ton of the country and eventually of
the Republican convention" Merritt
added. Hoover will be nominated for
the presidency"
The johnson managers assert that
the sweep by Johnson eliminates
Hoover as contender in the fight for
the nomination at Chicago, and an
nounce that they will send an organ
fzation into Oregon to stage the John
son fight in the primaries there.
Wood Ahead In indiana.
Indianapolis-Ma General Leon
ard Wood had lead of more than
1000 votes in the contest for the In
diana Republican presidential prefer
ence vote when 1882 out of 1887 pre-
cincts in the statewide primary had
been tabulated.
These returns were gathered from
81 of the 80 counties in the state.
Senator Hiram Johnson of California
was running second, with Governor
Lowden of Illinois third and Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio fourth.
Unless one of the candidates OBJ
tains a majority of the votes cast,
which on the face of the early returns
seems improbable, Indiana's delega-
ton to the Republican national con-
vention in Chicago will go without in
structions, unless instructed by the
state convention The delegates to
the national convention will be chosen
at the state convention.

Adventures of a Piano.

An Englishman bought an upright
piano at an auction sale % years ago
for $50. 1t was, of course, second
hand. For q time it was used in a
provincial kindergarten. 1t went to
London and had constant use. When
the war broke out it retired to re-
pository and did not see the light again
until last month. Last month maker
of pianos called to see it, and offered
$3.50 for it. The next day man who
overhauled 1t said he could get $3.50
for it cash down. The day after that
tuner considered it worth $500. The
story is a striking illustration Of
changing values.
