cheap, but the way it takes hold of a
cough will soon earn it a permanent
place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2H ounces
of Pinex; then add plain graduated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,

never spoils, and gives you a full pint

its cost.

good Standing: there Is no jumping one man
over the heads Of others. Each man named
has won distinction at one time or another and
well deserves the confidence that has been
placed in him.
There has been a demand for some time that
The police department be reorganfzed; new
blood injected and a general bracing up all
along the line. The changes that were announc-
ed at the meeting Of the Board of Aldermen
last night indicate that this Is to be accomplish
ed. The rules that go into effect along with the
changes are also to be commended. The chief
hereafter is to be always in uniform thereby
adding dignity to the position and commanding
more respect.
On the whole, the general tone OF the de-
partment is going to be raised; it is going to
be looked upon in a different light. The manner
in which the aldermen have gone about this
business shows that there is to be no dallying or
beating about the bush; no playing ~favorites or
looking to expediency in the various moves
made.
The appointments were made without adoo
at the very first meeting Of the board under the
new administration. Everything went off with
a snap and a push that means business. 1t Is
a policy that accomplishes things. Mistakes will
be made at times, perhaps. but 1t is better to
do things and make mistakes occasionally than
not to do anything at all. The new admins
tration has made a good beginning. Perth AM

CHIEF OF POLICE BURKE.

Chief of Police Patrick ]. Burke, who, under
the police pension law that was passed last
year, has been automatically retired on half
pay will pass into private life with the best
wishes and good will of the whole city. He has
well earned the reward that will be his and the
universal desire is that he will have many years
to enjoy the rest and the compensation that
goes with It.
Chief Burke 4, perhaps the Oldest employe of
the city today. He became a member of the
Perth Amboy police force many years ago when
the city was little more than a country town.
There were but two members of the force at
that time and they did not have an arduous task
fulfilling their duties. The chief has seen the
city grow to its present proportions. The force
under him has been increased from year to year
until today IT compares favorably in numbers
with the police force Of any city of this size.
1t is very evident that with the continued
growth of the city the duties of the police de-
partment have become greater and more COM
plicated; the responsibilities devolved upon the
head of the department call for a man younger
in years who can be more aggressive and put
more energy and nervous vitality into the task.
Chief Burke has done this in the past and he is
to be honored for what he has done.
Now he is to give way to others who will take
up the reins where he lays them down. The city
will not soon forget what Chief Burke has
accomplished as head of the police department.
He has had many difficult problems to face and
his record will compare favorably with any
chief of police in the state.
1t is plain. however. that. in the opinion of
those who had the making of the police PEN
sion law, a man after passing the age of sixty
five is hardly capable of measuring up to the
constant strain that must fall upon a police
head If the work of the department is to be car
ried on at top notch capacity. Chief Burke.
under the law. retires on the first of February.
Some of the records that he established. how
ever. will live as long as Perth Amboy has a

RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason.
THE TROUBLED r

The clashing foreign nations have grief to
give away; new woes and fluctuations afflict
them every day; there is no sign of stopping,
but there is frantic yawping. and fireworks
always popping. from Poland to Cathay. The
ructions. they are many, and fur Is on the
breeze; the cats of old Kilkenny were mild,
compared with these, compared with peoples
craving for blood. In ripples waving, in
which they may be LAYING their fetlocks and
their knees. Each nation has a boulder with
which to swat a foe; a chip is on each
shoulder, inviting drastic blow: and govern
ments are growing. and anarchists are
bowling. and all the world is yowling. like
tomcats In the snow. Is this the peace men
prayed for before the war was done? Is
this the peace men paid for with bloodshed
by the ton? Is this the peace our brothers.
our uncles and some others. forsook their
wives and mothers to gather with the gun?
At home We have our squabbles. disturb the
peace at times. while we pursue such baubles
as politics and dimes; but we don't stand
berating. denouncing. roasting. hating the
other nations. waiting a chance to pull some
crimes. For which we should be grateful.
our thanks we should declare. hen we've
consumed a plateful of luscious Christmas
fare; the bells Of joy are ringing. and carol
folk are singing. and holly boughs are swim

ing couples on the grounds that real
love-making in the audience dis
tracts attention from the love-mak-

comes to rebuking crime. but are so
fiercely resentful of spooning in the
parks.

The farmers have watched the citrus growers

The farmers see that wheat will always be a

permit it to be marketed by people who do not
grow wheat.
Wheat producers finally are getting together
to arrange for building their own warehouses at

THE POLICE CHANGES.

Under the law passed last year one of the
arpt duties Of the police pension fund commits
sion was to retire all members of the police de-
partment who had reached the age of sixty
I'VE and who had served twenty years or more.
with the appointment OF Frank Woglom as the
third member of the commission the organiza-
tion Of this body was completed and it at once
began to function.
1t happened that the operation of this law
struck at the very top of the Perth Amboy
police department, retiring at one stroke the
chief and two sergeants. There was no choice
In the matter. The law is very plain and
specific. Nothing but the formality of placing
the men on the retired list was left for the pen
sion fund commission to do as the law itself
automatically retired all who have reached the
re Of sixty-fve and have served on the force at
ast twenty years.
This being the case it became the duty Of the
tyor and aldermen to practically re-organize
whole police department. This they have
pfoceedsd to do in a thorough and business
me manner. Al the meeting OF the Board of
Aldermen last night Sergeant Nels Tonnesen
