At the first sign of a cold, at the

teaspoonful of Syrup Pepsin and
the congestion will be gone in a
few hours. Don't wait until the
cold has a grip on you. Mr..
Henry Dean, Jr., of Rochester,
N. Y, cured a stubborn cold in
just that way, and Mrs. Alice
Corbbrey of Haskell, Okla, uses
it effectively for all the small ills
of her family, such as constipation,
biliousness, headaches, dizziness,
and to break up fevers and colds.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is

resort to cold remedies contain

Syrup Pepsin. Any druggist will
supply you, and the cost is less
than a cent q dose.

NEWARK, Feb. S-The North
Jersey Rapid Transit Commission
a completed its studies and is notS
asking the legislature for funds with
which to improve train communi-
cation with New York city and prs
adequate passenger facilities
for the seven metropolitan COUNTIES
of New Jersey. The joint apprt.
priation committee of the senate
and the House will set an early dare
for a hearing, 1t is understood.
The bill creating the Commission
became a law too late in the legisla-

preparation being made. The prelim-
mary work done so far has been
without cost to the state.

APPROVE CITY
FINANCE BILL
Bond Attorneys Approve Leg
islation to Relieve City in
R. R. Crossing Action

Assemblyman Thomas L. Hanson
received today from City Attorney
David T. Wilentz a communication
from Caldwell & Raymond, bond ex-
perts of New York city, an opinion
as to whether or not they could APP
prove bonds of the City of Perth Am
boy issued pursuant to the bill now
pending in the legislature, which
will allow the city to increase Its
debt limit two per cent, in order to
raise funds for the elimination of the
railroad grade crossings. The bond
ing company answers in the affirma-
tive.
The communication points out
however that the bill as it now
stands will not have the effect of
removing the proposed grade cross
ing bonds entirely from che
debt limit as affecting the possible
issuance of bonds for other city i'm
provements in the future, and points
out that If such was the intention,
an amendment of the bill making
express provision to this affect
should be introduced.
The communication also mentions
the fact that a new bond act is pend
ing that will s~upersede the act OF
1915, and that care should be taken
that the provisions of this supple
ment are repeated in the general act
and If 1t appears that the new gen.
eral act is soon to be passed, 1t is
suggested to await it's passage and
see whether it does contain these
provisions,
Mr.. Hanson in discussing the LETT
ter today, declared that he would
take the matter up with Senator
Pierson and Commissioner OF Munic.
ipal Accounts and Finance Darby
and have the matter settled as sug-
gested by the bonding company.

Public Service Contends it is
Entitled to More Than

NEWARK, Feb. 8.-The Public

fore former Judge Thomas G. Haight
sitting as special federal master in

Today marks the second day OF
argument, and former Senator Ed
mund w. Wakelee, arguing for the
company, made the above declara-
ton. A year and a half ago, when
the commission fixed a seven-cent
fare and one cent transfer. the COM
pany carried the case to the Fed
eral court claiming confiscation.
Frank Bergen at yesterdays ses-
sion, opened the argument for the
Public Service. He confined himself
to the legal aspects of the case and
based his argument largely upon the
information contained in the brief
adled by the corporation some time
fgo. Mr.. Wakelee, who is conduct
ing today's argument, Is directing his
remarks to the facts.

INTERESTS of Passaic, Paterson, Eliza

krolley company.
Mr.. Wakelee in opening his argu-
snent said that he would use as his
Fext the fourteen points contained in
the summary of the reply brief filed
by the company. He added that the
brief had originally contained thir-
teen points, but that another had
been included. in hope that 1t would
meet with better fortune than an
other fourteen points which gained
worldwide renown before they went
crashing down to disaster.
The trolley company was pictured
Dy Mr.. Bergen as a great giant
starving for food. He told of the
great mileage of track, and the num-
Der of cities served, and pleaded that
1t be sustained, rather than crippled
and destroyed. He commended that
khe company is entitled to protection
from the confiscatory rates imposed
upon 1t by the Public Utility Com

is EDUCATION NEEDED
TO BURY JERSEY DEAD?

TRENTON. Feb. SIS it nee
essary to have a high school educa-
ton to bury the dead?"
This is the question that may come
before the state senate next week
because of a bill pending in that
body which will require, If 1t be-
comes a law that all persons who
desire to earn a livelihood as UNDER
takers must have a high school edu-
cation or its equivalent. At pres
ent the law requires merely a gram
mar school education.
The measure is of interest only
because it is another example OF
what is being attempted in the legis-
lative halls these days. The under
taker bill is said Il be backed by
the New Jersey State Funeral Direc-
tors Association. Thus the field will
be restricted to the present list OF
licensed undertakes throughout the
state, many of whom are members
of the association which is backing
the bill.
State senators are being cajoled
into support for the measure on the
ground that it Is in the interest of
the "health." Last year Governor

very decisively when he vetoed the
bill and a companion measure which
required every undertaken to attend
so many lectures a year or forfeit
his license.
House observers are of the opinion
that more and more every year are
the halls of legislature being en-
ployed by special interests such as
this "undertakers' trust to further
their selfish schemes. With vital
state problems affecting all the peo-
pie, such as road legislation, five
cent fare on trolley lines. reduction
of taxes and similar questions, these
cliques and groups come in with
their pet bills, which the people do
not advocate, and absorb the time OF
the senate and House when it should
be devoted to the matters which are
truly subjects for legislation.
Senator Pierson, of Union, is the
sponsor OF the undertaken bill.

quarters, the warden's Office at New
Brunswick was notified.
The local police have been making
a practice since the first thefts were
reported to ask for the registration
cards of cars, particularly Fords, at
night. An effort is being made at the
present time to have local Ford
agents put q special mark In each
car sold so that recovery Of stolen
cars can be made easier.
