CITY MARKET
IN NEW HOME
Now in Ideal Location for
Progressive Food Depart
ment Store

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Perth Amboy City Market open
ed for business in its new location
at 131 Smith street, in the building
formerly occupied by the Royal
theatre. Prior to the opening yes
terday the market was located in
the Boynton building. Fol a period
of twenty-five years Morris Shum-
sky, the president and general man.
ager of the market has been in bust
ness in this city. 1t was twelve years
ago that Nj. Shumsky conceived the
possibilities of a large market in
this city. where everything one might
need for the table could be pur-
chased under one roof, and the city
Market was the result.
The market as arranged in its new
location is more compact than
was possible in the former building,
and this adds much to it's attractive
ness. Everything is sanitary and
kept in a fresh and clean condition.
All the fixtures are new and present
a pleasing appearance. A color
scheme of white and oak is carried
out in the new store.
Before the building could be &C.
cupied for the market considerable
alterations were necessary. Ihese
have been going on for the past sew
eral months and the building now
has none of the appearances that
would lead one to believe it a
once been a theatre.
The arrangement of the stock is
such that all departments can be To-
Gated easily. The meat department
is situated on the asst side OF the
building, the fruit, vegetables, fish
and delicatessen departments are to

system of doing business has also
been adopted with a view to giving
the customer the best service posi-

He and his wife went the round Of

apartments are very like people-most of
them are charming, with the exceptions
Of one or two drawbacks.
Sometimes the drawback was a micro

BLACK WALNUT TREE BEST
Department Of Agriculture Points Out
Its Excellent Qualities as a
Roadside Ornament.

In line with movements launched
by automobile clubs and associations.
state highway departments. the Ameri-
can Legion, the American Forestry
association. and various good roads
organizations, the Department Of Agri-
culture is urging the planting of black
walnut trees along the highways. The
late war drew heavily upon the black
walnut timber supply for airplane con
struction but 1t ended before the
larger trees entirely disappeared. The
supply has been greatly reduced, how
ever, and the department urges that 1t
be increased without delay. 1t is be-
lieved that by planting walnuts in the
soil and rearing trees along the roads
ample seed can be secured from these
trees to re-establish the walnut forests
whenever they again become depleted.
Few species of trees have a wider geo.
grahic range, few are more rapid
growers when given a favorable en-
vlronment and few are more effective
as to shade and landscape. In addi-
tlon, the black walnut produces a nu-
tritious food.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica'
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they rave the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,

Unpaid Commission Does Best Work

A Department of Agriculture bull
letin insists that providing shade on
city streets is as much a municipal
function as providing lights or side
walks, and should. therefore, be cared
for by public officials. Probably the
most efficient way Of arranging for
proper supervision, it says. is through
an unpaid commission of three or five
members, which. in turn, employs
an executive officer. Methods OF organi-
zation are described, and numerous
illustrations show how trees should be
planted. There are chapters also de-
scribing pruning. spraying, transplant
ing and other subjects of Importance
