fBy Evening News Correspondentl

10y evening" news correspondent
SOUTH AMBOY, April 22-In
these days when so much is said of
the conflicts between capital and
labor throughout the industrial
world it is interesting and signif-
cant to note that there have been
recently held a number of get to-
gether" conferences under the aus
pieces of the Railroad Young Mans
Christian Association, in some of
the larger cities of the country. At
these gatherings impressive groups
of railway employees representing
various Y. M. c. AS considered
with care the status and possibili-
ties of that organization. Steps
have been taken for the further ex-
tension of this movement among
railroad men and among such steps
is a concerted membership effort
to take place April rs to May 2.
1921.
The South Amboy Association
was represented at the Pittsburgh
conference by l.. Il. Sheppard and
Secretary E. A. Nell. The local "Y"
will participate in this continent
wide effort and local arrangements
are now being completed. Accord
ing to Secretary Nell the outlook
for a successful endeavor is very
bright and the men of the local
branch are responding with enthu-
siasm to this effort.

Strong, straightforward Advice to Thin,
Undeveloped Men and Women

SlTOIE StTAiS warn shINft \" hh''t
Undeyeloped Men and Women
( you are thin, scrawny and undevel-
oped, If your face is peaked and your
cheeks and neck exhibit unsightly hol-
lows, it's almost certain That your nef-
Evous system is at the bottom of the trou-
BILE. You can eat three, yes four. sub
stantial, fat producing meals a day but
as long as your stomach has an INSULT
cient supply Of nerve force this food you
eat will pass out of the body with little
il any benefit.
In order to assimilate properly the
nourishing food you eat and convert 1t
into healthy tissue and fat the nerves
that control the process of digestion
and assimilation must be put in first class
shape and until that is done you might
just as well quit trying to put on flesh.
Your system Is starving for something
that will turn the food you eat into
healthy stay there flesh and it can only
be done in one way-by correcting faulty
nervous digestion.
Thin, nervous, rundown people, how
ever, with impoverished blood and half
starved looks are hailing with delight a
quick and certain maker of solid flesh
called EVANS TRIPLE PHOSPHATES
that is unequalled for repairing faulty
digestion and correcting nervous digestive
troubles. In fact, the makers of Evans
Triple Phosphates guarantee that one
weight by several pounds and within ten
days make you feel like a new being, full
of ambition, vigor and a desire to ac-
complish things. All druggists and lead
supply Evans Triple P~hopsphates and
guarantee it to do just what is claimed
for 1t or money refunded.
Caution: While Evans Triple Phos-
pilates accomplishes wonders in nervous
digestive troubles and as a general nerve
tonic. 1T should not be taken by anyone
who objects to a few additional pounds of
solid stay-there flesh.-Ad

of our current theater offerings:
they are by far the best in any

so, however, IL that triumvirate of

ings in the column in which their
article appeared on a par with an
other famous. column in a leading
District of Columbia newspaper

Of the District Their contribution
confirmed my opinion.
No defense of Mr.. Dorsey against
such absurd rantings as 'why don't
you write a great drama" and "your
enlarged vocabulary" etc. are a,
all necessary. Those worthy gen
tlemen, no doubt, have never READ a
real criticism of anything in their
lives; and 1 might even venture the
guess that their ideas on plays and
players have till very recently been
derived from watching the element
performances" in the town hall back
home
To return TO the original object OF
this letter. l want especially to saw
how much l enjoyed your review OF
"other Peoples Lives" and when
your criticism of The wise Child
appeared i tossed my hat in the air
for Joy. and felt that we had a
veritable H. L. Mencken in sour
midst.
Stick to il, Dorsey. and be assured
that the people who know and ap-
preciate good criticism. and who
have the interest of what is worth
while in drama. are with you.
