WHAT TO DO

FOR A COLD-1f the system is in
good condition one is not likely to
take cold. Keep the bowels open and
dthe the fresh air. Make the body
hardy with cool sponge baths and Wig
orous rubs. Do not 20 out into the
cold after a warm bath, as it opens
the pores. Keep the feet warm and
dry. Eating onions is an old-fashion-
ed preventative while onion syrup is
an oldfashioned cure.
For a cold in the head snuff up cam
phor fumes or use the boric acid
wash or salt water, or spary the nose

THE WOMAN CITIZEN
Bill Boards.

Bill boards and board-bills are syn
onymous with low standards. The city
or individual that allows either to
stand definitely is derelict. Some
states are now passing laws prohibit
ing the bill board.
It is desirable that merchants have
an opportunity to call attention to
their wares, but this should be done
in legitimate ways. No one has right
to take me by the collar, as l walk
out for my health, and force me to
inspect his wares with the chance
that l might buy. have right to
walk with mind free from ristract-
ing thoughts of merchandise, and un-
disturbed by ugly objects put in my
way to remind me of mundane needs.
If bill boards were always new, or
in repair, or in good taste or neat, it
would not be so bad; but they are
usually of the cheapest construction
and quickly become dilapidated. Their
art, if such it might be called, is of
the crudest and most glaring. Often
they discuss personal symptoms and
diseases indelicate to exploit in pub
lie.
If the newspaper opens it columns
to advertising it is purely business
matter. One may take the publication
or leave it alone, but not so with the
bill board, which one must see weth-
er he wills are not.
The billboard is not only an intru-
sion on pleasant landscape but fire.
quently, erected on a neighboring lot,
may shut off the view from some fine
residence and is nuisance.
Advertising is becoming more and
more business news and should be
fresh information to be of interest to
US. AS such the billboard is gener-
ally useless. The newspaper and mag
azines are now recognized as the ef-
fective and legitimate media Of adver-
tising, and in the interest of civic
beauty should be used for this instead
Of the unsightly and often dangerous
ly dilapidated billboard.

KNOCKERS.

As to knickers, will women veal
them? We are so used to wearing II
that it will seem very singular tt
wear something plural. Of course
some women will wear them-art
now, in fact-for Fashion never de-
crees a new style, however ultra-ult
but some are ready to rush into the
breach,-in this case it is proper te
say in the breeches.
But this is no attempt to KNOCK
knickers-which are innocuous-alsc
necessities instead of knick-knacks.
Radical styles are usually adopted
first by frivolous females who size
the opportunity to attract attention.
but bifurated garments are unique ir
that they are ushered in by especially
highminded women: the thorobred
English lady with her riding habit
the traveller with her mountain climb.
ing togs, the efficient bicycle woman
the college girl with her gymnasium
boomers, the Girl Scouts and Camp
Fire Girls, the farmerette, the War
Workers, the athletic woman of today
who is keeping fit.
The motives of these are unques-
toned. It is this, perhaps, which has
made US adapt our minds so easily to
the new mode. No fashion plate is
now without those garments which are
frank acknowledgment of the fact,
no longer a secree, that woman has
two legs-and intends, too, to use
those God-given members as harmoni-
ously as the rest of her body.
Proof that we have accepted knick-
ers is found in our shortening the
word knickerbockers to knickers, as
we automobile and bicycle to auto and
bike when we appropriated them into
practical life.
Are knickers immodest? Think
how, in the circus, we give a little
anxious grasp when the skirts of the
horseback rider fly capriciously about
but we never bat an eye when the
trapeze performer appears in tights.
Appropriateness is the prime essential
of proper dress. To exercise in the
narrow suit-skirt is like entering the
"sack race 1t is handicap, and is
it not more uncertain, II winds and
sports, to trust to the irresponsible
skirt than to don knickers which will
"stay putt"
Knickered women tourists at the
hotels receive every courtesy-as is
due. The next generation will come
up accustomed to them from the ROM
per days of infancy.
Knickers afford the advantages of
comfort, freedom, security, health,
and athletic development. Without a |
doubt they are here to stay.

FOR BETTER MORAL CONDITIONS

It is rumored that movement is being launched for the
suppression of immoral conditions said to exist in this city and in
surrounding suburbs where openly auns its brazen face in

BOISchWeiIer Sued
BY Wife For Support;
DeSertiOn Is CHARGE

TRENTON, Sept. 2O:-Former
United States Marshal Albert Boil
schweiler, of Perth Amboy, is de-
fendant in a suit brought by his wife
for support and maintenance filed
today in the court of chancery in
which she alleges that after treat
ing her cruelty he abandoned her.
The bill of complaint accuses the
former marshal of unusual addic-
ton to intoxicants. After stating
that he was the marshal for New
Jersey the wife declares:
''He spent most of his time dur
ing the day at the bars of different
saloons in Perth Amboy and that
in the evenings he did nothing but
drink liquor practically every night
as sometimes as late as 1 A. NJ
The wife sets forth that she and
Bollschweiler were married in the
City Hall in Boston in 1917 by a
justice of the peace.
Five months afterwards he began
a series of cruel and harsh treat
ments, which continued up until thu
time of the alleged abandonment
when he ordered her from their
house on September l, last, accord
ing to the womans affidavit. She
was widow and has one daughter,
Grace l.. Emanuels, thirty years old,
and after being ordered out by the
former marshal, the wife says they
went to her brothers in Boston. The

RELIEF FOR FAMILIES OF
47 ENTOMBED MINERS

JACKSON, Cal, Sept. 20 (By The
Associated Press) While mine
rescue crew continued to bring to
the surface bodies of victims of the
Argonaut mine disaster the West to-
day had turned it's attention to re-
lieving the plight of families and
dependents of the forty-seven men
who died after being imprisoned by
fire far down in the gold mines.
Compensation checks and funds
realized from prize fights and thea
tre performances already are begin
ming to pour in.
Superintendent w. M. Mullen of
the claims department of the Cali
fornia Compensation Insurance
Fund has sent checks to ten of the
stricken families. He announced
that eighteen families would receive
checks monthly ranging from $69 to
$50 for a period of 240 weeks.
A ringside collection at boxing
exhibition in Vernon, Cal, last night
netted 5000.
Thirty-eight bodies still remained
early today upon the 1850 foot level

Murder Was ssTerribIe
MiStake," Mrs. Hall
Was Quoted AS Saying

"The murder of my husband has
been a terrible mistake" These are
the only words as far as known
which have been obtained by the
public from Mrs. Hall. widow of
Rev. Edward w. Hall, recotr of the
Church of st. John the Evangelist,
whose body was found laying next
to that of Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt
Mills on the so-called Phillips farm
last Saturday.
Although Mrs. Hall has refused
to be interviewed by newspaper
men or discuss the matter with any
outside parties, it is known that
last Sunday she was In consulta-
ton for a period of two hours with
an immediate friend of the family
and the above sentence is reported
to have leaked out following the
conversation. What Mrs. Hall
meant by the quotation credited to
her cannot be ascertained and the
question is freely asked If she has
any reason to suspect some one oil
the double murder.
The general opinion is that Mrs.
Hail knows NOR about the affair
than has yet come to +. that is,
she probably has reason to suspect
someone of the murder as she was
in position to know her husbands s
inner life better than anyone else
and If he ever wassfn fear of any
one. she would have been the or
to know these facts. The fact that

complaint further recites that they
returned home on September to
find the furniture smashed and the
dishes broken and were forced TO
leave again on September 7.
The affidavit charges that the hus-
band spent between twenty and
thirty dollars a day on ali average
for liquor and that during the past
two years he expended approXi-
mately $4,000 in this manner. He
is also accused of once threatening
to shoot her and burn their house
down with the wife and daughter
inside.
No answer has yet been filed by
the former marshal to the suit.
The wife says he owns property
and mentions particularly a house
and three lots in Raritan Town
ship, which she claims are valued
at $4,000. Last May he had $3,500
in bank after returning from Ger
many. She alleges that when he
abandoned her he had but $500.
She thinks he is concealing the
difference. According to her Boil
schweiler is sixty-four years of age.
She claims he is deriving a large
amount of revenue from a cigar
store which he opened at 265 Mad
ison avenue, Perth Amboy, on Sept.
l last.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 90
(By The Associated PresS)-Many
evidences of recent use were found
today in the old unoccupied house
upon the hilltop overlooking the or
chard where last Saturday the bodies
of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, rec
tor of the church of st. John the
Eve ngelist and his choir leader, Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, wife of the
church sexton. were discovered.
Investigators working on theory
that the place might have been used
by the slain couple as trystlng
place, found September magazines
in the library which was we'll

the property broken into city lois,

In a pad near the telephone was
a number and the name Willie
Stevens" the eccentric brother-in-
law of the slain minister.
There was no accumulation of
dust and most of the rooms were

and frame mahogany. Mattresses

were bare to the springs,

house. From the front windows
might be seen the crabapple tree
under which the bodies of the min
lister and the choir leader were
found.
Mrs. Hall. the wife of the slain
clergyman, would not see interview
ers who called at her home today
but woman who said she was a
close friend came to the door with
the announcement that all members
OF the family attributed the killings
to mistaken identity. In support of
this belief she mentioned that Mr..
Halls watch was missing and that
his pockets were almost empty of
money when his body was found.
Detectives Ferguson, Fitzpatrick
and Totten made a minute inspec-
ton of the farmhouse this morning.
Although the officials did not care
to discuss the outcome of their find
ings, one of the detectives said it
was his candid opinion that the con-
ditiOn within the house had no bear
ing upon the case. The house was
well furnished and well kept. there
being little sign of dust, it was said,
as Samuel l.. Levin, of this city, who
is said to be the owner, has seen to
it that the interior is well cared for.

MILK ACTION BY
HEALTH BOARD
Dirty Milk Chjege Made at
Board Meeting--DraStic
Action Taken
OTHER WORK is DONE
Employing of Laboratory
Technician and Lincoln
Park Move Discussed

The revoking of a milk license,
employing a laboratory technlcian'
a discussion of the condition OF
Lincoln Park, and the repairing OF
the isolation hospital were the prin-
cipaI matters transacted at the
meeting of the Board of Health last
night.
Harrison Conk and family ap-
peared before the board to inform
them of the purchase of bottle OF
dirty milk from the grocery store Of
M. Kaufelt of 4S Smith street. Mr..
Conk said that his daughter had
purchased the milk and as he was
about to open the bottle he saw the
milk was dirty and took it at once
to the police station. 1t was later
turned over to the health depart
ment. The milk had been bottled
by Cushetunk.
Mr.. Kaufelt declared that had he
known the condition of the milk he
would not have sold it. Health
Officer Thompson produced the bot
tie of milk as it had been turned
over to the department ana aftef
examination by the members of the
board Edward H. Diltz moved that
Kaufelt's license be revoked for the
balance of the year as he was the
only one who could be held directly
responsible as he sold the milk.
DR.. Charles I. Silk, president OF
me board, said that he thought this
was going to extremes in the case.
but Diltz pointed out that if the
health board revoked a few of ire
licenses the dealers themselves
would demand that the creamery
furnish them with perfect milk or
else they would trade with a cream
ery that did. When the motion was
put, it was carried and the license
revoked for the stated period.

Or. f. I. Cronk, city physician of
New Brunswick, yesterday afternoon
explained to reporters the exact
number and location of the bullet
holes in the bodies of both victims.
Mrs. Mills had been shot four times
through the head, he said, one bull
let entering the center of the lip,
one over the right eye, one in the
upper part of the right cheek and
the other in the center of the fore
head. He said he did not probe for
the bullets as powder marks could
be discerned at the spots where the
bullets entered, showing that the
pistol must have been fired at very
close range. DR.. Cronk said the
course taken by the bullets would
indicate that the woman was stand
ing up when shot. The only bullet
hole found in Rev. Mr.. Halls body
was one in the center of his fore
head. The doctors opinion was that
the rector was lying down when
shot.
After Charlotte Mills. sixteen year
old daughter of the murdered wom-
an. had been quizzed for more than
thirty minutes yesterday afternoon,
she was taken to her home by detec-
tives and her father was brought to
the office of Prosecutor Stricken. He
was questioned for two hours and
then taken to his home. At the con-
ciusion of the quiz, Detective Ferd
David said he felt satisfied that the
man knew nothing of the murder.
Last night Pearl Bahmer. the girl
who came across the two bodies
while searching for mushrooms Sat-
urday morning, was questioned by
the detectives but was unable to
add any more light to the case, ac-
cording to detectives.
This morning Detective Ferguson
received a telephone call from De-
tective Totten, of Somerset county,
and he left at once to meet Totten.
The call was made from the wireless
station along the Raritan river, 1t
was said, and had to do with further
developments in the case.
Assistant Prosecutor Toolan, De-
tectives Ferguson and Totten went
to the home of willie" Stevens
shortly after o'clock this afternoon
where they secured willie" and
woman, both of whom were return
ed to the prosecutors Office, pre-
sumably for questioning. The
woman was not Mrs. Hail.
Louis 2. Ruck, local taxi driver,
gave out the information today that
while taking a passenger along the
Easton turnpike on August 27 he
saw the car of Mr.. Hall standing
empty along de Russy's lane which
leads to the deserted farmhouse. On
his return trip. Ruck said, he passed
the car on the road, Rev. Mr.. Hall
being at the wheel and accompanied
by a woman he did not recognize.
Prosecutor Stricken was inter-
view ed by newspaper men this aft
erpoon. Asked whether or not any
special consideration was being
shown members of the Hall and Ste
vens families he replied:
Certainly not. When the time
comes that 1 allow any personal
feeling to interfere with the carry
ing out of the law, I will get out"
He explained that he did not care
to make any arrests until reason
ably sure that the person arrested
was connected with the case. If the
wrong parties are arrested, he said,
they can easily be released by ha-
beas corpus proceedings.

itan Arsenal, was arrested by Pa
trolman Hardy at the arsenal and
was turned over by the government
to the civil authorities.
Cullwell was arraigned last night
before Recorder Timbell on a charge
of assault and battery in stabbing
a New Brunswick man. The de-

self-defense. The fight started over
an assault which was supposed 10
