Electric Co. May
Get SpOtSWOOd Job

SPOTSWOOD, Dec. 15-From all
indications the long sought fran
chise for supplying this borough
with electricity will be awarded be-
fore the New Year to the Perth Am
boy Home Electric Wiring Company.
This decision came to light late
last night after the borough coun-
Gil at their meeting consumated
most of their time going over fran
chise terms embodied in the agree
ment presented by the Perth Amboy
Company seeking the rights for the
borough's electric current.
1t was generally understood that
the council agreed upon the Old
Skinner plant, located just outside
the borough limits from where the
electricity is to be generated. One
Of the chief items asked by the
council of the company is a clause
binding them to supply the power
from a larger power company
should the occasion arise. The
stipulation calls that the electric
company during the term of the
franchise must be associated with a
power company having sufficient
current and give the use Of it, for
expansion purposes or should the
small plant for one reason or other
be short of electric generation.
The borough attorney has been
authorized to look into the legality
Of the franchise and change such
details as may be beneftting for the
borough. The revised condition OF
the document is to be presented at
a special meeting to be held on

In order to protect the merchants
of this city Lawrence A. Long. cap
tain Of the detectives. announced
yesterday that during the next few
weeks the business men of the city
will have to take special carr in
checking UP their stocks as it was
reported to the head Of the detec-

few days goods were missing from
the various stores. This hs said was
due to the lilly fingers" of shop
filters, who take advantage Of the
overcrowded stores around the hol-
idays.
In the larger stores, especially
around the holidays, men are em-
ployed to act as detectives to watch
those purchasing and very little
shop-lifttng is done. But the
smaller stores who cannot afford
this neal will have to devise some
other means Of running down the
thieves.

partment was informed that two
rolls of silk were stolen from a
store on Smith street. A short
time ago the proprietor of the same
store reported similar thefts. The

Although Miss Carmel Hallmeyer
is an exceedingly handsome young
woman, it wasn't because of her good
looks that the members of the Bur-
ley Tobacco Growers Association
engaged her to look after the legal
interests of their organization.
Miss Hallmeyer's solid professional
attachments, and brilliant record
were the considerations which dc
tated the associations choice.
These tobacco growers, it should
be explained, have q cooperative
society which owns real estate alone
worth s~6,000,000. and its numerous
and varied financial responsibilities
represent sums vastly in excess even
of this amount.
So, when a vacancy occurred at
the head Of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Associations legal depart
ment, it behooves the management
to fill it only after the most thor
ough investigation into the qualifca-
tons Of the individual of its choice.
Miss Hal1meyer got the post.
She Is a Californian, who o sew
eral years has been conducting the
legal affairs of several of the huge
marketing associations of that state.
Specialization in this class of work
fitted her admirably for just the
position at the tobacco growers dis
posal.
This explains the transfer OF her
field Of activities from the golden
west to Lexington, KY, where the
tobacco mems legal department
maintains it's headquarters.
The oldest Of a family of eight
children, Miss Hallmeyer early
shared with her elders the tasks of
making q home and caring for those
younger than herself, yet found
time to equip herself for the brilliant
Legal career upon which she Is now
so well embarked.
A breezy young person Of the
western type, she likes to dance and
says the utmost vagaries of flapper-
dom do not disconcert her in the
least, and yet there r few men as
well qualified as she to argue knotty
questions before the grave judges OF
a supreme court or to weigh prob
lens of law upon the right solution
Of which sums Of money running
into the millions may depend.

RETAIL STORES OPPOSE CIRLS'
 BUYING CLUBS

London, Nov. GA. P.)-The retail traders of the large manufacturing centers of New England have declar- ed war on the hundreds of girls clubs ganized in mills, factories and com merc1al houSeS--Which undertake to supply their members with candy silk stockings. underwear and other ap- .parel at much lower prices than ask ed at the stores. The retailers have lost thousands of pounds yearly through the activities of these clubs, and their trade in many products has been permanently curtailed
 The first legal action against the clubs is being brought by the British Federation of Confectioners, who are seeking to have the confection trade of the clubs stopped as being an un- fair form of trading.
 Many of these clubs deal direct with the manufacturers and get bet ter terms and prices than the shop keepers, said an official of the con- fectionerS association.
 They are not confined to the fac tories and mills, but in Yorkshire and Lancashire churches and Sunday school now have these clubs, and their effect on the retail trade is very serious.
 The total amount Of money taken in by the club is said to be enormous and it is not uncommon for girls earning two and three pounds a week to spend on an average of ten shilling or more for candy alone.

Big meat eating my develop uric acid, which excites the kidneys; they become over worked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood; then we get sick Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleepi- ness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache In the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a, sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four
 ounces of lad Salts from any phar-
 macy; take a tablespoonful in glass
 of water before breakfast, and in a few days your kidneys may act fine.
 This famous salts is made from the
 acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
 bined with lithia, and has been used
 for generations to flush and stimu-
 late the kidneys; also to neutral1ze
 the acids in urine so 1t no longer
