JAMES LAING WRITES ABOUT
AMBOY ROAD SIDEWALKS
By Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENV1LLE, Jan. 9.-The fol-
lowing letter was received by Borough
President Van Name advocating build
ing of sidewalks on Amboy and Rich
lmond roads:
"Tottenville, N. Y,
december "a, 1919.
Dear President Van Name:
In view of the many disastrous &C
|cidents that have occurred at various
times on the highways of Staten Is
land, due principally to increasing
traffic, especially along the main thor
'oughfares, and in consideration OF ap-
.peals from residents who are forced
to traverse said highways without
sidewalk protection, l believe the time
is opportune for an elimination of the
danger in so far as possible by Undue
ing the property owners to place side
walks on their respective properties
where none exists at the present time
and neutrality-suspicious. the Amboy road
and Richmond road where the traffic
and danger Is the greatest.
You, of course, realize there VIII
be considerable opposition to Tn sug-
gestion of improvements or protection
from danger caused by reckless driv-
ers from these property owners who
are Indifferent to progress or the well
fare of resident citizens. yet / believe,
a campaign of agitation and persua-
sion will go q long way toward com
polling d%elinquents to cooperate and
provide against such increasing dan
ger, thus saving many lives which are
otherwise destined to being perman-
emily crippled or death.
"A considerable percentage of prop
erty holders along the Amboy road are
non-residents of Staten Island and
merely spectators without interest in
the welfare of its citizens.
every truly yours,
(Signed) JAMES LANG"

We are a nation of meat eaters and

lwell-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly IN guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost TO free
the blood of this irritating acid, but be-
come weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the e~liminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like

spells, sleeplessness. acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather. get from
your pharmacist about -four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each

is made from the acid of grape and

has been used for generations to flush

BIZ Special Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. s-Much
surprise was caused yesterday by the
announcement that Mrs. John Grey,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Clark, well known residents, had
again become a bride. The ceremony
was performed in the manse Of the
Baptist church of New Brunswick,
and the officiating clergyman was the
Rev. Paul Haynes, Wednesday night.
But two witnesses to the ceremony
were present, Miss Mabel Hum as
bridesmaid, of Spotswood, and Ira
Clark, a brother of the bride, as best
man. The groom was Theodore
Smith, of Freehold, q we'll known
resident of that place. holding a re-
sponsible position with the National
Biscuit Company.
The bride wore a suit of blue. I'M
mediately following the ceremony the
wedding couple returned to the home
of the brides parents where they
will make their home for the present.
Much mystery is attached to the
matrimonial tangle in which this
pretty blonde is the principal charac-
ter. Mrs. Grey before her marriage
TO John Grey, % of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Grey, of Freehold, was Miss
Hazel Clark. She was popular in the
younger circles and her marriage to
Grey was considered a real catch.
They lived at the Grey home at Free
hold until the outbreak of the war
when Grey enlisted and soon was
over in France. Ugly rumors were
soon afioat by enemies of the couple
and Mrs. Grey had inserted In the
Freehold Transcript eight months
g a notice warning all to be care
ful in questioning her marriage to
Grey. No word of any divorce since
that time has become known or ad-
mitted n this latest chapter In the
