EXPRESS FEAR OF WATER
FAMINE IN NORTH n. ].
rBy Evening News Correspondent

TRENTON, May 25.-Fear of a
water famine in North Jersey,
which has been expressed at recent
hearings conducted by the State
Board of Conservation and Develop
ment on the application of the City
of Bayonne for permission to divert
water from the Ramapo River Sec
ton of the state, will prove to be
g~roundless if certain plans are ear
ried out, said a statement from the
Department of Conservation and De-
veiopment today.
The program outlined contem-
plates the engaging of the well
known engineering firm of Hazen.
Whipple and Fuller to make a COM
~prehensive investigation of the en-
tire water supply situation through
the state, which will include within
its scope the utilization of the re-
sources of the we'll known Wharton
tract in the southern end of the
state. Here Is what the department
proposes to do:
FRS, a comprehensive investiga-
ton by the well known firm above
mentioned of the unappropriated
watersheds of the state. with partic-
ular reference to the needs of the
metropolitan district. This study
will show what waters in North Jer-
sey are still available, their charac-
ter, and the cost to transport them.
1t will also show how abundant I'M
used water of South Jer-
sey, of notable purity, can be utilized
by the northern section. 1t will In
clude a careful investigation of the
value of the Wharton tract.
Second, there will be established
upon all the principal streams of the
state a series of gauging stations to
be maintained indefinitely. with the
object of determining how much
water car be delivered under all cir
c~umstances from each drainage area.
In this undertaking the United
States Geological Survey will CO.
operate.
THE increase in population. and
in industrial establishments, that has
taken place in North Jersey, and
the consequent draft upon developed
sources of potable water. has caused
many citizens to be gravely cer
&c lest the future growth of the me-
tropolitan section should be halted
by a deficiency in the supply" said
the Conservation Department state
ment today.

WHY YOU NEED
IRON
Tomakeyous trongand "brainy"
and put the power into your
blood to overcome dis
ease germs
PRACTICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO
DEVELOP GREAT ENERGY
AND ENDURANCE

The food you eat contains carbon. When
your food is digested it is absorbed from
the intestines into the blood. When the
carbon in your food comes in contact with
the oxygen carried by the iron in your
blood, the carbon and oxygen unite and
by SO doing they give off tremendous
energy, thereby giving you great force,
strength and endurance. Without iron your
blood carries no oxygen and without oxygen
there is nothing to unite with the carbon in your
food. so that what you eat does you no good
you do not get any strength from tit is like
putting coal into a stove without a fire. You
cannot get any heat unless the coal unites
with the fire.
The strongest weapon with which to prevent
and overcome colds, pneumonia, kidney trouble,
rheumatism, nervous prostration, in fact almost
any disease or disease germs is plenty OF good
rich. pure blood. strength, energy and endurance
and the greatest energy carrier in the body is
organic iron, not metallic iron which people
usually take, but organic iron like the iron IN
spinach, lentils and apples and like the iron
contained in what is known as organic Nuxated
Iron, which may be had from almosta any drug
gist.
If you have been taking metallic iron without
benefit such is no proof that organic Nuxated
Iron will not help you. Nuxated Iron often in
creases the strength, energy and endurance OF
weak, nervous, run down folks IN two weeks
time. 1t is such an extremely valuable product
that even the Pope at Rome wrote especially Of
its merits in a communication to the Pharmacie
Normale. 1t has been used and highly recon-
mended by former United States Senators.

MATAWAN, Sept. 17.-Charles
Carman, paymaster of the Mosaic
Tile Company of this place, was held
up by two men while at work on the
payroll at his desk in the company's
office here today at 10 o'clock.
At the point of two revolvers the
men took the pay roll consisting of
$1,000 and after disconnecting the
phone ran from the building.
A posse of Matawan people and
local police officers traced the men
into the woods leading in the direc-
ton of Keyport, but were unable to
find them.
Police in nearby cities and towns
have been notified and are searching
for the men.
According to Mr.. Carman, about
$3.50 O'Clock one of the men came
into the office and asked for job,
after looking around he went out.
He returned within a half hour with
the other man and walking over TO
Carman's desk the two men pointed
revolvers at his head and ribs ana
ordered him to keep still.
Alone in Office.
Carman was alone in the office at
the time and the two men gathered
I'D the $1,000 on his desk and leIt
the office.
Neither of the men were masked
Gives the Alarm
AS soon as the men had left the
building Carman ran outdoors ana
gave the alarm. The fact that both
men were unmasked made 1t easy
for Carman to obtain good descrlp-
ton of them. Both were dark com
plected and one had a pimple OF
mole on his face. They wore dark
blue suits and caps, and one or the
men wore a heavy collar or mufflei
about his neck. Carman, who is ar
old resident of Matawan. says tha'
he had never seen the men before

Memory Blank 10
Days,LsRecouering
Edward BroderiCk Failed to
Recognize His Wife,
of Strange Experience

Over a period of about eleven
days, from Labor Day afternoon un-
til Thursday night of this week, the
memory of Edward f. Broderick,
of 33S Maple street, this city, has
been a complete blank. At Della
ware Water Gap station, on Labor
Day, he is believed to have become
a victim of amnesia, and to the time
of his collapse at his home on Thurs
day night, he knew no one nor
what he had done.
Identified at the Camden police
station by medal won by him at
the Elizabeth high school in 1907,
and by a trade mark of Perth AM
boy haberdasher on his tie, on We'd
nesday of this week, the ten day
search by his wife and David Kauf-
man, of the Potts &, Kaufman whole
sale concern, where Broderick was
employed, was brought to an end.
Did Not Recognize Wife
His memory a blank, the amnesia
victim stared vacantly at his wife at
Camden police headquarters on
Wednesday. Asked if he remember
ed his wife, Broderick replied, I
don't know you." and after working
for about half hour in an effort to
restore his memory, the wife col
lapsed. The man was brought back
to his home here Thursday night,
and a short time after his arrival
here his memory was restored. He
is under the care of a physician and
will take a needed rest.
Broderics stated this morning
that he had worked late nights
prior to his departure for the Della
ware Water Gap on the Saturday
before Labor Day, to take rest
over the week end and holiday. He
declares that at the time he was
suffering from pains in the head.
On Labor Day afternoon he left for
the Delaware Water Gap station to
return to this city. After his ar
rival at the station, up to Thursday
night of this week he does not re-
member what went on.
The Camden police report that
the man came into headquarters
and reported that he did not know
who he was or where he came from.
He was hatless at the time. Brod-
erick claims his watch, fob, money
and baggage were lost in some way.
It is said the man told number
Of strange tales to the Camden po-
lice regarding his travels during
the ten days his memory was blank.
