Already this reclamation work has
been undertaken ON a small scale by
sanitary engineers OF the American
Zionist Medical Unit, but their most
effective work against the mosquito
has been in driving them out OF 1850

According to members OF the Medi-
cal Unit, the natives were afraid to
dink water from these wells until af-
ter the American doctors had drunk
it and proved that no ~ effects would
result. After that they objected
strenuously if their water contained
no kerosene.

TAXING AUTOMOBILES.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
l notice, In reading the EVENING
NEWS, that 1t was suggested to the
Board of Aldermen, that a committee
be appointed to estimate the value of
automobiles, as a tax is to be placed
on AL machines. This leads me to
make the following comment:
The tax rate of Perth Amboy is very
high. Why? Because. the men on
the police force are receiving a higher
salary. Cand perhaps this is why the
police force has been so satisfactory
of late); streets are being paved,
(many unnecessary side streets over
which there Is very little trafic); d
million dollar reservoir is TO be erect
ed with the superintendent of the
water board and the city engineer re-
Iceiving an extra fat salary besides the
one they are being paid by the city,
all to be burdened by the lean tax
payer. 1t is true that the property
owners pay for having the streets paw
ed, but before the streets are paid for
the city appropriates the honey Why
pave u lot of unnecessary streets when
State and Smith streets need paving
so bad? And on top of all this comes
| tax on automobiles. Are the finances
of the city so bad, that the Board of
Aldermen have to SCRAP money to-
gether from every corner in order to
make both ends meet? If this is the
case, then it is high time that the
Board of Aldermen got down to bust
ness, and not allow such a waste of
money, OF which the water board is an
example, to be carried on. If you are
going to tax the man h owns an
automobile. why not tax the man who
towns a horse and wagon? A merchant
has to have something with which to
deliver his goods, and ave if one has
la pleasure car, isn't he entitled to
some enjoyment out of life. without
having to be burdened with extra
taxes? Somebody said. Perth Amboy
is a rotten hole" and that somebody
is right. It's a rotten hole from top
to bottom.
I, and l presume thai my fellow
lcitizens ae well. would like TO know
what the Board of Aldermen and the
Board of Water Commission have TO
lsay for themselves. No z~ig-zagging
excuses. but the honest truth. l would
lalso like to hear from my fellow citi-
lzens through these columns.
| Yours tSlly,
! FAIR PLAY.

yuE. STAMPEDE METHOD.

one of the f%avorite methods of the
proffeers in getting the public to ac-
cept their increased prices is to try
the stampede method. The idea Is
when they have a prospective Gus
toner inquiring about prices and II
the customer hesitates a little over the
awful cost. the company selling the
goods waits q few days and then sud
denly a salesman appears with the
startling announcement that he has
been notified that the price Of STEEL
lumber or whatever material may be
used in the manufacture of the article
he is selling, is going to dvanc next
week and the prospective customer
should place his order at once IL he
would get In on the prevailing prices.
If the prospective purchaser is easy he
will al once become panic-stricken
and order the goods to be rushed at
the price he at first held 10 be ex-
cessive and he is inclined TO thank the
firm for letting him in. so to speak,
before the prices were advanced.
1t is a great game and is netting the
profteers additional millions. The
only way to treat such fellows is to
throw the agent out of the office when
he comes with any such proposition.
Tell him you will go without, using
any old makeshift. IL necessary,
rather than be stampeded into buying
al such high prices in such a manner.
In nine times out of ten you will not
have to go without for when 1t Is
found that the bluff don't work, the
usually finds hat even
though there is to be an advance next
week, (Which may or may not be
true) there is enough old stock on
hand to let o have what you want
at the stated price even after the
prices have gone Up.
The greatest menAce to the peace
and prosperity of the country today is
the profiteer-the firms and corpora

more at every opportunity. getting

Lean and Fat.

The lean man. when he'd gain
in weight. will find the process
quite a treat; he is indeed a lucky
skate, for all the good things he
may eat. His bill of fare may be
a scream. no tempting grub must
he eschew. and he may flood his
pies and ~doughnuts too. But when
a fat man is inclined to lose a ton
or so of lard. the process is a
dreary grind, the shedding Is ex-
tremely hard. For him the busy
housewife bakes a sickly loaf of
sawdust bread: for him there are
no luscious cakes, but he must eat
bran mash instead. If he would
take a midday snooze. he hears

tive il your grease you'd lose, and
walk four hundred miles a day.
Your fat INCREASES while you sleep,

gained eight pounds a day. Then
