ELECTION

With three aldermen and an alderman-atlarge to elect, three
freeholder candidates, sheriff and three assemblymen, the people
ought to be vitality interested in tomorrow's election. These are
the men who are the closest to the taxpayers; they spend the bulk
os the money and upon them rests the progress and development
of the community.
The aldermanic fight has been confined to the wards as it
should be. The people know their men and can vote intenigently
for what they consider the good of the city. The candidates
for aldermen-atlarge, while being elected by the whole city, are
sufficiently well known for the voters to- choose between them.
The situation is different with the freeholders. Here are a
group of men who, by means of an organization that they have
been able to build up throughout the county, have succeeded in hav-
ing themselves reelected year after year as their respective terms
have expired. They are all Republicans and it has come to be al
most a family affair, the members doing about as they please with
no minority to watch them. The Democrats have nominated an
exceptionally high class ticket this year and an opportunity is thus
afforded to put a minority representation in the board which
ought to be of decided advantage to the taxpayers.
In the assembly fight Governor Silzer has put some ginger in
he campaign by going about the state attacking last years legis-.
lature which was controlled by the Republicans. He has seen fit
to criticize some of the men who stood firmly behind him in some
Of his fights last year. These men have proven their independence
Of any invisible government, - that the governor refers to.
In Middlesex the governor saw fit to attack the record of the
two Republican assemblymen, but he ignored the bills that these
two men had put through of direct benefit to Middlesex. The
hoffman ship canal bill and the Hanson Tottenville bridge bill
were both pieces of legislation well worth while. Sometimes in
order to secure the votes of other Legislators for measures of this
kind it is necessary to act against ones best judgment in some
other matters, but that is the way things are done in the legsla-
ture, and one party does it as much as the other.
With the campaign drawing to a close the verdict is now in
the hands of the people. The large registration this year would
indicate that the people are going to vote. In an election like this
partisan politics need play little part. Good men in such offices
as are to be filed this year will assure honest government and a
saving of the taxpayers money. That is what is most to be desired.

FALSE PROPHETS

Since time immemorial it has been the thcorist and the nom
producer who has called "wof' when there was no cause for the
alarm. Disastrous panics, business depressions, financial crashes
and disruption of the public peace of mind have been the price the
public has paid these false harbingers of disaster.
The year 1923, which now approaches the elimination of y
months of more than usual prosperity for the United States, has
not been without its false alarm of "wolf.' Every step of bust
ness Improvement and of the general spread of prosperity was
provocation from predictions of business initiation and approaching
panic and retrenchment. In spite of the calamity howlers and
European affairs the United States can complain of nothing more
serious than decreasing costs of food, higher wages and an in
creasing shortage of labor.
Unfortunately for the general equanimity of mi ID and bust
ness, the pessimistic tongue wags faster and louder than the con-
scrvative and optimistic. In fact, the present year has found the
,fsssimist quite unchallenged in his representations of hardship
uffering until a part of the American press ventured forth
prosperity and assurance platform of 'wheat is not king,
REPtes are better than cheap labor, Europe can't wreck our
~, only our own politicians can hurt us and this is the
Of opportunity"

YOUR HEALTH
BY DR.. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
ChiIdren's Eyes

1t is not too Irong a statement to
make that ambitious parents fire.
quently are the cause of a child's
eyes being ruined as we'll as its
health. The healthy boy or girl with
normal eyes should be watched and
guarded closely in order to conserve
this most priceless possession. Those
children who have a tendency to
weak eyes from birth must be pro-
tected from the many harmful in
fluences eve more carefully.
Do not allow children of one, two
or three years to look at pictures or
| any objects which require close in
spection in any detail. Kindergarten
work until the child Is of four or
five, and even six years of age,
should be chiefly confined to large
charts or objects large enough to be
we'll seen at a distance of 10 or 10
feet. No small objects to be judged
or small holes in cards o sewing
should be used.
The delicate optic nerve of a child
does not register the sensation of
pain. Through close contact work,
such as stringing fine beads or try
ing to draw close contact lines, or
reading in poor light and poorer po-
sition, this nerve may receive severe
strain. It does not cry out or object,
so far as the child or teacher may
observe, but 1t does object and the
retina and optic nerve may be per-
manently injured and no pain be
felt.
Never strike or "cuff" a small child
on the side of the head. 1t is a dan
gerous practice for the eyes. If they
see stars it means a shock to the
optic nerve. II this excessive close
work is continued for any length of
time it means the children'sI eyes will
become defective and astigmatic.
In school children, at present, the
hyperopic eyes far outnumber the
normal eyes.
Look into the matter of your chill
dren's' eyes at once. 1t is absolutely
essential that all parents and teach
ers should cooperate to do all that
Is possible to conserve and correct
the eyes of the children.

The mummy of old King Tut will be examined with the
X-ray to find out how old he was when he died, also to check
up the number of years since the Egyptian undertakers dried
him for morbidly curious later generations.
Thus the ancient past makes contact with the fantastic su-
persistence of our generation. Rarely we find such a contrast
of the old and the new. 1t thrills the imagination of Artist
Satterfeld; see his accompanying pen-picture.
The X-ray, most uncanny OF man. inventions, existed IN
nature long before King Tut, but it was not discovered until a
matter Of thousands of years later. So, also, existing in ma
ture are super-devices which will be discovered by our de-
scendants and will be to the Xray as the X-ray is to King
Tuts mummy.
Man creates nothing. He merely discovers what already
exists and adopts the various forms to fit his needs.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q.-Is it injurious to the arch of
the foot to walk with the toes turned
out? N. A. f.
A.-The weight of the foot is
properly distributed when a balance
is preserved between the points OF
the triangle made by the foot. The
heel is one of the points and the
others are at the base of the first
and fifth toes. When the toes are
turned out, the foot has a tendency
to bend inward, so that the weight
of the body is on the inside of the
foot. The pressure causes the arch
es to sink in and become painful.
Ballet dancers who urn the toes out,
exert a strong pun on the outer mus
cles If the leg, so as to arch the foot
and offset the tendency to sinking
in. When the toes are pointed
straight ahead. the arch is more
readily held in place and it is not
necessary to exert the pull on the
leg muscles.
Q.-what is the authority by
which the Prince of Wales holds his
titles? X. G. II.
A.-The earldoms and baroneSages
held by the Prince of Wales are
hereditary possessions to the heir of
the British throne.
Q.-How are shot made round in
shape? J. D.
A.-Shot are made by running
molten lead combined with a little
unlucky for the officer because IL he
had been discovered Jesse would I'M
d-ub:eG.y have killed every man in
the party.
Jesse and his girl were finally
married secretly in the home of a
mutual friend. They spent their
honeymoon in rapid flight across the
country into Texas. For years they
lived a homeless, wandering life, in
the constant shadow of danger, but
Mrs. James was always a devoted
wife and a good mother.
Throughout the records of Ameri-
can banditry we fail to discover the
case of an outlaw whose domestic
life was not a complete success.
Hunted and hated in th~lr p%rof1s-
sional careers, they are invariably
protected and adored by their wives.
What is tho secret of this domestic
bliss? Is IL because the couples are
so frequently separated and escape
the blighting monotony of ordinary
married existende in which the hus-
band appears regularly every night
for dinner? Certainly there must be
sound psychological reason, because
the wives are not held through any
monetary consideration. B%anditry,
in spite of it's apparently great posi-
bilities, seldom pays enough to cover
household expenses for long periods
In the great majority of cases, like
those of the Stars and Gardeners, the
wives have taught school and held
office jobs to exc out the uncertain
income derived from the hold-up
business.
