Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and ChtaHly made at home.
but d. beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found
that they can save two-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough prepara-
tions, by using the well-known old recipe
for making cough syrup at nome. 1t
is simple and cheap but ii has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right hold
OF q cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
"a hours or less.
Get 2X ounces Of Pinex from any
druggist. pour il ;nto a pint bottle and
add plain gran'ilated sugar syrup to
make d full pint. II you prefer, use
clarified mo.asses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead OF sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good, Keeps perfectly, and lasts
q family a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and
heals the membranes, and gradually but
surely. the annoying throat tickle and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
hoarsencss or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is = special and highly concen-
trated compound OF genuine Norway
pine extract, known the world over for
its healing effect on the membranes.
Avoid Disappointment by asking your
druggist for "29h ounces of Pinex" with
Sull directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts.

SKELETONS ARE REMOVED
Police Investigate and Bones are
Taken TO Farm Colony

TOTTENVIILE, March &:-Fol-
lowing an investigation by Police
Corporal Wimund Winant and Pa
trolman Edward Moran of the Six
tieth precinct station, T~ottenville. the
bones and skeletons found at Prince
Bay beach by Deane s. Wood of 1S4T
Huguenot avenue were removed by
Isaac w. Allen. morgue keeper OF the
department of charities of the city OF
New York to the City Farm Colony
near Richmond for burial. Mr.. Allen
estimated hat the bones of about
twenty persons were in the lot. Frank
Schults, OF Prince Bay road, states
that in 1886 a great number of bodies
were put in O pit at that place and
quick lime put in there by the gov
eminent.
1t was learned that the tide had
washed the bank away exposing the
bones and Mr.. Wood had excavated a
hole in the bank about four feet
deep. The place is on the site of the
old quarantine grounds used by the
government during the cholera and
smallpox epidemic back-in the sos.
The quarantine station and hospital
at that time were burned down by
people living in that vicinity after
the government refused to remove
them.

GRADE CROSSING ISSUE
IS AGAIN RAISED HERE
Continued from page y

Mayor Garretson's term expired
after he had done everything In his
power to put the thing across assisted
by the aldermen and other city OIL
Gals. Mayor TenBroeek then took
office and shortly after the government
took over the railroads as a war
measure. Nothing was done during
the term Of Mayor TenBroeck owing
to the war.
Now. however, the railroads have
been returned to private ownership.
%The Board of Public Utilities Com
mission has had more than four years
in which to decide whether or not
the railroads shall be forced to elimi-
nate crossings here, as provided for
in the Fielder bill, and still no decis-
ion has been rendered by that body.
With three railroads passing
through this city on grade. crossings
and the constant growth of Perth
Amboy together with increased Pc
destrian and vehicular traffic, this
eliminated is again being brought
before the people here and it Is pos
sible tina steps will be taken to learn
what the Board of Public Utility
Commissioners proposes to do in this
matter.
The step to be taken in the mat
ter, if such action was anticipated, 1t

commission and learn what DISPOSE
ton has been made of the case. II
any, and il no action has been taken
to try and force q decision.
The failure on the part or the
Public Utility Commission 10 render
q decision In favor of the city four
years ago, it is reported, vas due to
q point raised by the attorneys of one
of the railroads at one of the hear
ings. This attorney, 1t is said, made
a statement thai il necessary he
would contest the constitutionality or
the measure under which the public
utility commission was established.
This, 1t was pointed out by those
who represented Perth Amboy, would
ieopardize the positions OF the com
m~issioners.
Agitation for the elimination of
Perth Amboy's grade crossings is a
matter which has been urged and well
supported from time to time by the
populace. Many times eadvantages
of overhead or underground railways
are brought home to those travelling
about this city. Owing to the fact
that grade crossings divide the city
almost In two parts. it is often i'm
possible to get from one section 10
another in a hurry, as the result OF
slow freights passing or rains break
ing down. Many times emergency
cases such as those of fire. accident
or sickness arise in which the journey
OF the vehicles or persons concerned
is interrupted. possibly for a long
enough period to result in great loss
of property or life.
These arguments. in addition to
those OF e~ndangering human lives, es-
pecially those of children~are being
used by those advocating renewed ac-
ton to rid this city of her grade
crossings--of which she has more than
her share, there being three railroads
with tracks crossing various thorough
fares and streets.
Some action by the present city off,
cials in order to get soIne results from
the long and hard fight made by the
city recog1nzance in 1915 and 1915
is possihla now.
