What Is The Red Cross
Doing For Perth Amboy?
Answered In One Day

pNow that the war is over. what Is
the Red Cross doing?"
This is a question that is asked re-
peatedly and which very few civilians
can answer because the activities OF
the organization are carried on SO
unpretentiously that they are not
brought before the public eye. The
forms of service are many and var
fous and the province of the home
service organization which is the out
growth of the war covers a limitless
Territory. Here in Perth Amboy,
where IL is known that the Red Cross
have Offices and workers, the numer-
Gus actual philanthropies n the
splendid work that is being done are
practically unknown to the great ma
jority of people.
During the war the work was con-
centrated in behalf Of the soldiers
and their families. Now, the service
has been extended to include civilian
families where opportunities for such
service present themselves in most
unexpected ways.
What is Being Done
Some of the things which the local
chapter have accomplished here are
Supplying special nursing care IN
families where there are 10 funds
available, supplying clothing 0
school children whose fathers are In
difficulty and who would actually De
forced to stay out of school for some
thing to wear; there are requests TO
assist in Strengthening out family al
fairs where the health and happi-
ness are concerned; the calls for d.
rect relief numerous; the organiza-
ton has been asked to take an IN
terest in many young girls here who
are in difficulty through lack or fam
dly harmony and other r~easons; the
school authorities have asked h
Red Cross to take interest in d
developed children who reed special
Institutional care.
In all these matters particular pa
thence and care are required at all
times and it is only through the
agency OF such welfare workers as
those in the Red Cross organization
than many of these things car be
accomplished.
An Evening News reporter sitting
in the Red Cross office here gained
an idea of what work is being done
by this organization and how. An
ordinary sample day Is used here,
being August 8. Following are the
activities of Miss Persis Snodgrass,

Reduce Those Dangerous
Swollen Veins

Physicians are prescribing and hos
pitfalls are using new and harmless,
yet very powerful germicide that not
only causes enlarged or varicose veins
and punches to become normal, but
also reduces goitre, enlarged glands
and wens.
Ask any first class>druggist for an
original two-ounce bottle of Moone's
Emerald Oil (full strength) and refuse
to accept anything in it's place. 1t is
such a highly concentrated prepara-
ton that two ounces lasts a long time
and furthermore if this wonderful dis
covery does not produce the results
anticipated you can have the price
refunded.
1t is not wise for anyone to allow
swollen veins to keep on enlarging.
Often they burst and cause weeks of
pain, suffering and loss of employment.
Start the Emerald Oil treatment as di-
rections advise and improvement will
begin at once. Generous sample on

United States has ceased to play the part of a
good uncle to every nation that makes an appeal
to US, and that we quite willing to let foreign
nations work out their own salvation without our
advice and suggestion.
The European press may deplore our return
to traditional policy of isolation, but in the
long run, they may discover that they them
selves will be infinitely better off by again learn
ing to rely on their own genius and efforts than
to persist in policy of dependence upon the
United States. .....~. W.. ..r.
The American people long ago concluded that
tranquility and prosperity quickly be re-
stored in European countries of their own people
realize that they must be masters of their own
fate, and that they cannot reasonably expect us
to pay their debts and provide them with funds
to develop foreign trade markets or to exploit
concessions which they gained by the Versailles
treaty.
This may as shock to many OF them
who in recent years have looked to the United
States as an inexhaustibe storehouse of money
and material which could be obtained without
payment. If President Hardngs address helped
change their opinion and has led them to see that
we believe in generosity, but not in pauperizing
ourselves to help other nations it will have
served distinct and useful purpose.

Action on the Home Rule Bill

The passage of the home rule bill leaves it
optional with Indiana cities to avail themselves
of its provision and to indicate by an election If
they to abolish the present form of city
government and substitute either the commits
sion or the managerial system.
In Richmond marked sentiment in favor of
passage of the bill was apparent; and it is
natural to assume that no time will be lost here
in determining the wish of the people. The pub
lie is pretty we'll informed on the whole ques-
tion. Steps for the calling of an election will be
taken soon.
The measure is considered of the most
approved home rule bills that has been passed
by state legislature. Objectional features in
other laws have been eliminated, a few new ones
have been added, creating measure that seems
to be satisfactory to the proponents of the legis
lation.
1t seems probable that number of Indiana
cities will quickly determine the wish of their
voters and test out the virtues of the new sys-
tenn.

Good Meal with
a Bad Stomach

It is really a pitiful sight to see so
many thousands of people worrying
about what they can eat and what
they can't eat.
Dyspeptics, they call themselves, but
they stretch the imagination when
they do it.
All these people need to make them
healthy, cheerful and of sound appetite
is a box of Mona Tablets.
The stomach of a dyspeptic is over
worked and run down. 1t needs help
to digest the food. but more than that
it needs a prescription that will
cleanse, renovate. strengthen and put
elasticity into the stomach walls.
Mi-O-Na is the prescription that will
do this and do 1t so promptly that
you'll wonder why you didn't try it
before.
1t stops belching of gas and distress
after eating in five minutes. 1t is un-
doubtedly the greatest stomach tonic
ever given TO the public by a specialist
in stomach diseases.

RECIPE TOCLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
PinpIes Are Impurities Seeking an
Outlet Through Skin
Pores.

Pimplcs, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and. then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine.
but in many instances the bowels Gre
ate more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate, then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these i'm
purities which often break out all over
the skin in the form of pimples.
The sureSt way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted author
ity, is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take q
tables spoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
of toxins in the bowels 1t also slim
ulates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood
of impurities and clearing the skin of
pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
drink-which usually makes pimples
disappear; cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well.
