PLANNING AND zoNING.

Up in now tnat the city
has grown to over 100000 popula-
ton and is spread out over consider
able territory, they are planning to
adopt a coming system for the city.
At a meeting Of the city council in
Elizabeth a day or two ago a spec
ial committee was appointed to in
4eatigate the ACCESSIBILITY of estab-
lisAing a building zone system. Such
/ coming system was recommended
ii a message from the mayor of
elizabeth who wrote that the con-
tinued growth of the city both as a
residential and manufacturing com
munity has brought about conditions
which necessitate the adoption of
provisions which will regulate and
restrict the location of buildings for
specified uses, of trades and indus
tries" He pointed out that under
the law the council has power to
appoint a commission for the pur-
pose of recommending the establish
msnt OF building districts and their
boundaries.
At the first of the year the Board
OF Aldermen Of this city appropriate
ed $500 for starting a city plan,
but thus far nothing has been done
In the matter. City planning and
coming go hand in hand. Judging
from the complaints that are fire.

How can Perth Amboy continue
to be known as the pacemaking city
IL it remains idle while other cities
proceed with all these improvements
and developments? Isn't it pretty
nearly time to wake up, or are we
too much interested in seeing which
political party will control the city
for the next year and thus be in a
position to hand out the city jobs to
the favorites. to care much whether
the city keeps abreast with other
places or not?
Many cities wait until they have
grown large before they start city
planning or coming and then spend
hundreds of thousands OF dollars tc
rectify the mistakes that have been
allowed to be made through indif-
ference. BY taking action now Perth
Amboy can grow as a city ought to

There is one girl l like to meet
For she knows nothing of deceit;
She loves me for myself alone,
Not for the wealth that l may own;
The other girls she does not ape,
Her hairs her own. so is her shape;
She never paints. she never firts,
And she does not wear see-more

She's bashful and she's never bold
But she is only six years old.

HEALTH ADVICE


I was discharged from the army
six months ago. The doctors told
me 1 was troubled with effort
syndrome.' Can you tell me some
thing about this condition?
The Answer.
The condition you inquire about
is not new, as the same train of
symptoms have been observed in SOL
diers of all the armies in the late
war, as well as the Civil War.
and all the others as far back as the
campaigns of Napoleon.
It is not essentially a disease of
soldiers, but the life led by soldiers
offers favorable conditions towards
its development. Previous disease
(fevers, diarrhea, influenza, gassing,
etc., are predisposing factors. There
are several names for the condition.:
effort syndrome, soldiers heart,
cardiac neurasthenia, functional
cardia, ir~ritability, and others. The
symptoms. briefly, are: nervousness.
irritability, palpitation of the heart,
shortness of breath, g~iddiness, cold
clammy skin, sweating, and blotch-
ing of the skin. There may, or may
not, be a heart murmur. The heart
is usually enlarged.
The condition is improved by rest
of body and mind, and especially by
assuming a cheerful state and stick
ing to it, and by removal of any exist.

Feet Troubles.

My feet become very sore under
the toes. The skin is very soft and
white and always moist. Could you
advise me what to do for this con-
ditions.
The Answer.
1t may be that the foot trouble you
complain of is due to excessive per-
spiration and subsequent decompos;-
tion and faceration of the skin. It is
suggested that you try bathing the
feet regularly each night. and busting
them morning and night with some
antiseptic busting powder. It will
probably be best for you to consult
la good physician.

the cause of this trouble is. and a

The Answer.
1t is not possible merely from such
description to hazard a diagnosis. So
many different causes would have to
be considered. BY all means consult
a physician, or, perhaps, a skin
specialist, and have him determine
the nature of your trouble.
