TWO WORTHY MOVES.

In acting to abolish the so-called potter's
field for the burial of the dead, and to honor
Perth Amboy's returned soldier dead by having
the flags at half mast and also sending a wreath
to the deceased soldiers home, the Board of
Aldermen took a step in the right direction.
Aldermen Clark and Anderson, who brought
these matters to the boards attention, are to
be commended for their efforts to bring about
these changes.

The world grows smaller every day. Another
instance:
The coal strike in England increased the
fishing industry in Canada. For the strike made
coal scarce and costly. Hence cooking came
high. But canned fish require no cooking.
Hence 200, 900 cases of canned fish have been
shipped from British Columbia to the British
Isles so far this year.

TOCk THE KISS SERIOUSLY
According to French Scientist, the Ro-
mans Had Three Distinct Ways
Of Specifying II.

DR. Emile Malespine, scientist Of
Lyons, France. and contributor on
physiological subjects to leading
French periodicals, has written an ar
ticle for the Forum in which he traces
the development of the kiss as a social
custom from earliest history.
'The first manifestations Of the kiss
encountered in literature says Doc
tor Malespine, "ure those which are
furthest removed from the kiss Of
homage, appear rather as cercmoGies,
than as natural and spontaneous ex-
pressions Of sentiment. The Bible
shows us pagans kissing their idols.
The Greeks and Romans had special
veneration for statues; there was at
Agrigenta, according to Cicero. mar
velous statue Of Hercules. OF which
the lips and the clkn were completely
worn away by the devotlons OF the
faithful
''The Romans, as well as the Greeks,
knew the kiss in all its perfections.
Their physiological wealth in this re-
gard. is an added proof. Without
counting the diminutives, they had
2 three words specifying the kiss: The
osculum corresponds TO who: we
should call the kiss of frieriship; I;
the basium more tender. was the kiss
of relatives, and of husband and wife I:
finally, the savium applied TO the
kisses of lovers"

Democratic National Committee, to-
day issued a formal statement that
he had no intention of retiring from
the Craftsmanship at this time "unless
all elements in the party can agree

to discuss future plans.
Among committeeman present the
probability of "all elements" coming

was declared to be remote. Chairman
White, it was said, intends to make
determined fight to defeat any eff
fort to unseat him, if such should de-
velop. 1t is the concensus. however,
that no such fight would develop, it
was explained.
Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi
holding the proxy of Miss Henrietta
Mitchell, committeewoman from
Mississippi, came in with Chairman
White. Senator Harrison, with e.
H. Moore of Youngstown, Governor
cox's manager before the San Fran
cisco convention which nominated the
latter for President, will compose.
Chairman Whites general staff in
case it,is necessary for the chairman
to make fight to retain his posi-
tion. Mr.. Moore was expected here
later in the day.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
and Thomas b. Love of Texas recOg-
nized among the leaders of the White
eposition, hae arrived and are con-
ferring with various committeeman.
Senator Harrison. discussing the pos
sibilities of a tight on Chairman
White, said: "This is no time Tor the
Democratic party to divide" He
anticipated that opposition to Chair
nan White would not develop serious

Chairman Whites formal state
ment follows:
This meeting is called to hear re-
ports of my work as chairman which
includes reports of headquarters

to make plans for future operation.

FEEBLE BLOOD

Dudes Pepto-Mangan Will
Make Red Blood;
Liquid And Tablet Form

When blood becomes thin and weak
IL is due to a falling off in the num-
Der of red blood cells. II is easily
recognized by palfid skin or blem-
ished comlexion, loss of appetite or
unnatural irritability and a sensation
of weakness. il is not dangerous at
first. In fact, many people scarcely
notice 1t and go on for days, thinking
they will be better the next day.
The great danger is in the posslbil-
ity of becoming seriously i'll from
disease, which can work havoc in a
body that lacks the endurance and re-
sistance in rich, red blood.
Taken in time aud steadily a few
hotties of GUIDES 9p;o-Magnan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality
Of the blood by adding red blood cells
and they check the weakness, i'm

GREAT GAME IS ADVERTISING
Has Developed Until Today II Calls
4 for the Services Of Trained
Experts.

Advertising is a game. Business IL
its stake. No other gnme has greater
zest or importance Too many business
men play II carelessly.
Competition is the great Instructor.
Run your eyes over the advertise
ments Of today and you will find them
showing skill and ingenuity well
deserving the name Of art. The titles
read like news heads and have the
appeal Of news. The copy Is terse and
readable. II tells people Enthusiastically
how they can economize; where they
can buy the best goods for the least
money and with the least ipconven-
fence TO themselves. Everyone wants
70 economize now. The advertisement
which does not promise economy might
as well not be written.
We see a judicIous use OF space and
appropriateness Of display that makes
each modern good advertisement a
classic. II one should compare them
with those that were set n few years
ago he would be surprised at the im-
provement.
And yet there are slovenly advertise
ments still, advertisements which
merely take room and exhibit the
backwardness of those wl,0 pay for
them.
The best skill In any game is only
attained by trained experts. Others
may have good ideas and flashes OF
luck. But only the expert knows how

result without relying on luck.-New

A FALSE DOCTRINE.

Judged by the expressions of
many candidates for seats in the
next General Assembly, there ap-
pears to be a strong tendency to-
ward the localizing of the auto
license taxes for the use and
benefit of the counties in which
they are collected. This tend
ency has taken the form of
pledges on the part of some of
the would.be solons to their con-
stituents. They promise to vote
and work for an amendment to
the present tax law that will as
sure to each county in the State
the tax money derived from
motor vehicles to be applied to
the upkeep of the public roads
and bridges in that county. In
some districts this apparently
has become leading campaign
issue.
Under the present law motor
vehicle license taxes are collect
ed under the supervision of the
State Tax Commits sion and go
into the State Highway Fund.
Under this system counties with
few or no motor vehicles share
in the auto tax money on the
same basis as those in which
motor vehicles abound. While
any diversion of the motor vehi-
Gle tax money as suggested by
the proposed amendment is mani.

One of the most accurate
newspaper writers in the United
State is Eugene W. Newman,
who writes for a syndicate of
papers from Washington. D. c.,
over the nom de plume, Savoy
ard" He was born and reared
at Lafayette. Metcalfe county, of
honorable and highly respected
parents, and was given every
advantage in reach of a young
man, and soon after reaching his
majority he became lawyer,
but he was not in love with the
profession, and after practicing a
few years he took to newspaper
writing. His peculiar style and
force soon brought him into the
linelight, and to-day he is the
most accurate historian in the
United States. He commenced
his newspaper caree, if we re-
member correctly, by contribut-
ing to the Bowling Green
Paragraph and the Glasgow
Times; and early in his life he
was the most popular writer in
the Green river and Peneryle
sections of Kentucky Later be
became a political writer on the
Courier. Journal, making his
home in Louisville. At that
time Emmit Logan was the edi-
tor of the Times, and Newman
and him were great cronies. For
the last twenty years or more
he has been located at the seat
of National Government, writ
ing for quite a number of leading
dailies. When he is removed to
that country where all the good
men go, he will be greatly miss
